ment continues and unless the newspapers

great prudence , a general revolt Is probable ,
with much bloodshed , because , lu such an
event , the army volunteers would fraternize.
General Blanco's position Is moro difficult ,
because his mild methods of warfare dis
qualify him to use energy with a mob.
The rioters Intend going In a pacific man

England was willing to assist China to

Increasing Iho customs revenues ; eeeond , a

In the event of her default China Is to

lie Learned. ,
WASHINGTON , Jan. 1C. Mrs. Luclllo
Lane , youngcvst daughter of cx-Sacator Joe
Illackburn of Kentucky , shot herself In her
apartmcnta at the Wellington hotel last
night. According to the statement given
out by tbo family the shooting was acci
dental. Doth of Mrs. Lano'i ) physicians re
fused to discuss the subject even lo tbo ex
tent of saying whether or not the wound
would prove fatal , but from the best that can
be learned' she will probably recover , al
though now suffering severely from the
shock.
A friend of the family nominated to give
out a statement of the occurrence paid that
about midnight on Saturday Mrs. L-ino was
preparing to retire. Her husband at the time
wzs In the adjoining room looking over the
paper. Mrs. Lane opened a bureau drawer
to get a handkerchief , and picked up a haad.
fill of gloves and laces which had been tossed
together In the drawer. Under this Huffy
mass was a tiny woman's pistol , a gift to
Mrs. Lane from her father , and a possession
of which she was- particularly fend. It
caught in n piece of lace as she raised her
hand , and falling of its own weight , struck
the hammer on the cdgo of the open drawer.
The pistol exploded and the bill penetrated
her left breast. What became of It Is im
possible to My. According to the statement
given , out , It struck a rib and ranged around
the left shoulder , making only a superficial
wound. At the eamo time It Is said tbat
Mrs. La io Is suffering so from the shock
that the physicians have devoted all their
energies to rallying her without attempting
to definitely ascertain the extent of the In-
Jury. The moot precise statement that either
physician would make tonight was that Mrs.
Lane would probably live till morning. At
the request of the family , the block In which
the hotel Is situated has been roped oft.
Senator Blackburn Is deeply affected by
the occurrence. Ho does not live with his
daughter and when the affair occurred was
summoned from his room on New York ave
nue , remaining thereafter at Mrs. Lane's
hotel , i
Lucille waa the youngest of Sen
ator Blackburn's two daughters. She was
married In 1S35 to Thomas P. Lane , n promi
nent 'business ' man and politician of Sum-
mitt , N. J. At the tlmo of the marriage
Mr. Lane was a chief of division in the
treasury department. Subsequently ho ac
cepted a place with Maxim Arms company
of Now York as Its agent in Washington.
The position Is reputed as a good ono and
the Lanes had apparently always an auim-
dance of money , which they spent freely ,
living at a fashionable hotel nnd seeming
to lack none of the good things of life. Their
llttlo girl , something over a year old , was
ono of the favorites about 'th'o house with
all who knew her and the particular pride
of her mother. iMr. and Mrs. Lane , ac
cording to those who saw them every day ,
were unvaryingly affectionate and attentive
to each other , and' she , while of slight phy-
slquo , was In excellent health.
Mrs. Blackburn , who Is not In the city ,
has been telegraphed for. Mrs. Lane's elder
sister , Corlnne , Is the wife of Lieutenant
Colonel Hall , now at Forth Worth , Tex.
IIL'S V i\VE13IC FO'Il ' THE SENATE.
Several Important .Mnt < ern Coining UD
far Settlement.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 10. The 'Hawaiian '
annexation treaty will again this week oc
cupy the major portion of the tlmo of the
senate. It appears Improbable , however , that
the treaty will be taken up on 'Monday. There
Is a unanimous agreement to vote on the
Immigration bill during that day and It is
altogether probable that this vote will 'be '
preceded by some discussion of the merits
of the bill. The friends of the measure are
confident of its passage , but they arc not
very hopeful of getting it through without
further debate.
Senator Wolcott has given notice of his
Intention to address the scnato on 'Monday ,
when ho will make a report of the transac
tions of the recent international bimetallic
commission. 'Mr. Wolcott has never given
extended public utterance concerning the
commission's work and there is very gen
eral Interest manifested as to the course 'ho '
may pursue in his speech on Monday.
When the scnato resumes consideration of
the Hawaiian treaty , Senator Slorgan will
take the Moor and It Is expected will con
sume at least another day In the presenta
tion of his views' ' In favor of annexation. Ho
will bo followed by Senatcrs Pettlgfew and
White In opposition to the treaty , and by
otber senators for and against it. There Is
no hope that the discussion will bo con
cluded during the week. A great many sena
tors wish to speak , and as long as the re
sult of the vote Is as uncertain as it Is at
present , neither side will be disposed to
allow tbo vote to bo taken.
The senate has agreed to vote on the con
firmation of lAttoruey General McKenna as
associate justice of the supreme court on
next Friday , and the probabilities are that
this vote will bo preceded by some discussion
as to Mr. McKcnna'a merits. <
The urgent deficiency appropriation bill
will In all probability bo reported on Mon
day , and there may bo an effort to secure
\l \ a consideration during the week.
The house Is likely to become the arena
for a general discussion of our foreign rela
tions In connection with the consideration of
the diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill during the present week. The Cuban
situation , the annexation of Hawaii , and
the designs of the European powers toward
China will , of course , bo the principal topics
to attract attention. The house managers do
not want an extended debate on Cuba pre
cipitated at this time , but the minority Is
determined to press the question during the
consideration of this bill. It believes the
time Is particularly opportune , owing to the
anti-autonomy feeling In Havana.
Tomorrow Is District of Columbia day ,
and on Tuesday the consideration of the
army appropriation bill will bo resumed ,
This is likely to bo concluded Tuesday , after
which the consular and diplomatic bill will
probably consume the remainder of the
week.

Money Will He AxUc.l Tonvlth Which
to Ilnjr Scrum.
WASHINGTON , Jnn. 1C. The chief of the
nureau of Animal Industry , Dr. D. E. Sal
mon , has submitted to Secretary Wilson a
report upon tbo experiments made In the
tr oil merit of hogs for hog cholera with
antt-toxlnc scrum. This scrum I * made up
on the same principle as the * antl-toxlno of
diphtheria. Good scrum has been obtained
from both horses and cattle , a 'horse or cow
being Inoculated with the hog cholera virus
In small quantities first , and with larger
tloscs after suitable Intervals of time. The
resistance of the animal Is thus raised to the
highest practicable point. * The blood of such
an animal , when Injected under the skin of
swine , has been found to possess both a
preventive and curative action.
This serum was first tested upon- small
animals In the laboratory , and being found
efficacious , was last Till tested In I'QRO
county , Iowa , on several herds of swine , con.
talnfng altogether 2T8 animals. Leaving ; out
one herd , from which definite returns as to
cause of death could not be obtained , only
thirty-nine died out of 2 4 animals treated ,
of which eighty-six were sick. . Consequently
S2.2 per cent of the animals in these herds
was saved. Of several herds kept under
obscnatlon ( luring the- period referred to
about 85 per cent died , Salmon believes that
with experience a botteij quality of serum
can bo prepared , and ho has no doubt that
this percentage can bo maintained here
'
after.
Referring to this report , Secretary Wilson
remarked that undoubtedly the results re
ported by Dr. Salmon were most encouraging
to hog raisers. The cost of the serum now ,
said the secretary , Is but 10 cents per head
of animals treated , only one dozen being rer
qulrcd , and doubtlcca In 'course of time this
light cost may still bo further reduced.
"It Is , In my opinion , " , said the secretary ,
"o [ the utmost Importance that this serum
for the next year , at least , be made by the
bureau under our own supervision , nnd dis
tributed In large quantities In order to
demonstrate Its cfllcacy upon a more extended
scale. It Is absolutely essential that dur
ing the experimental stages that scrum of
undoubted quality be used. Unless the hog
growers can obtain it from this department
they will bo forced to depend upon what
can bo obtained from private sources , and
owing to the novelty of this producl not only
will dlscouraglngly exorbitant prices bo
charged for It , 'Tint In 'many cases Inferior
products may bo offered. This would preclude
the possibility of making a. satisfactory test
on a widely extended scale.
"I propose to ask congress to provide an
appropriation necessary to enable this de
partment to furnish 2,000,900 doses of serum
during the next year , aud to make a con
siderable .portion of thft appropriation imme
diately available. It seemsifrom Dr. Salmon's
report that It takes three or four months to
put a horse or cow 1'n comlltlon to supply
the serum , consequently the work upon an
extended scale must bo undertaken at once.
"Tho losses from IMS cholera are so enor
mous , nnd have welgliedi so heavily for years
upon our farmers , that I cannot Imagine
that congress will for la' moment hesitate to
make the appropriations' necessary to carry
on this work thoroughly. Indeed , apart from
the great stake the ( farmers have In this
matter , to refuse to provide for a. borough
test of this remedy now , , would be , Indeed ,
pcnnywlso nnd pound fopllsh ; for fho dlt-
covery of this serum ha'J .Involved already
many years of worlronf - a very large sum
of money. It would be a great -mistake , now
that so great a dlsdpyery seems to have
been made , not to finish' the -work by giving
It a thorough and extensive test. "

WASHINGTON , Jan. lG.- rave apprehen
sion was felt by berth the officials of the
State department and those of the Spanish
legation that dlsturbancca of a moreor less
serious character mlghj ! occur In Havana
today , owing to the Met ttat many persons
otherwise occupied during the week would
bo comparatively free on this day to follow
their own inclinations.
Advices received by Minister do Lome
early today , followed by others at a later
hour , Indicated , however , that Havaaa was
perfectly tranquil. Shortly after noon the
minister received a 'dispatch conveying the
information that at 11 'o'clock this morning
there had been no. rioting , nor even
sporadic disturbances- any kind , As a
precautionary measure. General Blanco had
carefully provided against cqy trouble , but
so far Ota surface indications went tbe pre
cautions hq had taken were entirely unnec
essary. The advices were that the better
Judgment of the people was uppermost. Good
feeling prevailed generally throughout the
city , and no disturbances were anticipated.
Up to 3 o'clock tills1afternonu State de
partment officials had received no word from
Havana , and they accepted this us an Indi
cation that no trouble ibad occurred or was
anticipated. They regard the rioting of Mst
week co merely n fiurryjwhlch spent Its force
In the few houre It Uiitoil. General Lee Is
under Instructions to notify the department
promptly of anything unusual or In the- least
way threatening , and the fact that no dis
patch was received from him clearly Indi
cates that the city is practically absolutely
dulct.

Information concerning } ho movements of the

expected none. Admiral Slcard will simply

year-old Percy Lockyar , who Is believed to
have been murdered on Friday nlRht by
15-year-old Samuel HcmlcxHon
, waa today
found In the bottom of "ItcddloV creek ,
Sixtieth and Catharine streets , and tlioro
scciiia llttlo doubt In the minds of the pollco
that youcig Henderson Is guilty oMho crime.
Hw is now locked In a cell at police head
quarters.
The body of the child , w'lcn found , was
weighted by two heavy stones , one about
his neck and the other around his nuklcs.
His skull was crushed in nnd there was a.
knlfo thrust Just above the heart , and
similar wounds on his breast , aide acid fore
head , while on one side of his face was ai
long cut extending 'from below the eye to
the t'.iln.
1'Vom what the pollco liavo been able to
learn the crlmo seems to have been ono
of the most liotrlble character , and If all
Ita details are true , It stamps young Hen
derson as a degenerate of the worst typo.
Ho docs not seem to realize the enormity
of his crime. Yesterday attci' hla arrest ho
admitted a knowledge of the knife thrust ,
but said It was due to ttio child accidentally
running against an open knife. Henderson ,
became alarmed at < hls , and gald ho threw
the body Into the creek. Today , however ,
when shown tbo mutilated body of the child ,
he admitted that ho was rosponnlble for thoeo
cuts asvcll. . but ho still ucrslstcd that
It waa am accident.
The police , however , believe It was a
planned murder In which the guilty ono
nlso purposed taking the llfo of another
small boy , Willie Addlson , ngcd 7 years.
Henderson , It is said , has been reading
traahy novcla of the wild western stamp.
and has shown a desire to emulate the
"hero" of those tales. The pollco assert !
that Henderson accompanied Lockyar anil
Addlson to the woods , as ho told yesterday ,
but Instead of any ncpldont happening to
olthef , Henderson tied both children to a
tree.Addlson broke away and ran home. It
was tticiY 'it ' In 'saO , that young I.ockyar'
death .was accomplished.
D.Morton , the cot-oner's physician , who
examined the thrust nbovo the heart , cald
that It caused the death of the llttlo fellow.
The pollco searched for the body during
all of last night and It was not until after
daylight this morning that It was found.
Henderson wlH"'b'o given a hearing tomor
row morning.
A fact that has come out In connection
with Henderson's alleged crime Is that his
father , John | Henderson , was on trial before
Judge Heed In October , 1892 , charged with
kKllng a man named Christopher Nelson.
The killing wca the outcome of a quarrel.
Henderson , when arraigned , pleaded guilty
to manslaughter. He was remanded for sen
tence , but Borne tlmo later It was shown
that the death was largely accidental and
tlioro was no murderous Intent. Ho was
admitted to boll and IH now free.
