Washington, March 2nd., 1895.
Vice-President Stevenson is as
mild mannered a gentleman as ever
presided over the U. S. Senate, but
he this week demonstrated to the Sen
ate as well as the public that there is
a gulf between mildness and weakness.
When the excitement, which has been
a marked feature in the Senate all the
week, culminated in the greatest up
roar ever remembered to have been
seen on the floor of the Senate,
brought on by the attempt to prevent
the Gorman amendment, authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue
3 per cent, loan certificates whenever
ready money was needed, biing laid
before the Senate, he proved himself
equal to the occasion, by ordering the
Sergeant-at-arms to restore order,
although he must have seen from the
faces of the older Senators that he
was trampling upon tradition and
dignity by so doing. He even went
further, by refusing to allow business
to be resumed until perfect order was
restored, and then to add force to the
object lesson in good manners that he
was giving to unruly Senators he di
rected the Sergeant at arms to insist
upon order being maintained and to
place a sufficient number of assistants
upon the floor to enforce the order.
Then when you might have heard a
pin drop the Vice-President calmly
said : " The Senator from Maryland
will now proceed." Afterwards the
Gorman amendment was withdrawn
to prevent the Sundry Civil appropria
tion bill being talked to death.
It will not be positively known un
til the Fifty-third Congress dies by
limitation, next Monday, whether
failure of one or more appropriation
bills will for.ee the calling of an eariy
extra session. There is little doubt
that the appropriation bills can be
put through in lime by hard work, but
there are several pending amendments
among them that repealing all la vs
for the issue of bonds either of which
will bring out a Presidential veto, if
they are not dropped-
New stories of the reign of Czar
Reed over the House are scarce, but
Representative Crain, of Texas, tells
one that is new, at least in Washing
ton. He says the following conversa
tion occurred in one of the House
Galleries while Mr. Reed was speaker,
between a precocious boy and his
father who had brought him to the
Capitol to see Congress: Boy
"Who are all those men down there,
writing and reading newspapers ?
Father" Those are the speakers of
the House of Representatives, my
son." Boy " Who is that great big
fat man in the chair under the
American flag." Father " That, my
eon, is the House of Representatives."
Senator Brice has been unmerci
fully guyed for attempting to secure
an appropriation from Congress of
$100,000 for experimenting in aerial
machines, but the Senator insists that
the wheels in his head haven't slipped
any cogs, and further that the govern
ment ought to assist in hastening the
era of aerial navigation, which is
bound to come sooner 01 later.
Representative Bailey, of Texas, is
as good a silver man as Representa
tive Bryan, of Nebraska, but he de
clines to sign the le.ter addressed to
the public, which Mr. Bryan is circu
lating among democratic members,
and he give3 his reasdns for declining
as follows : " Bryan's idea leans more
to what is expedient and further from
what is democratic than I want to go.
It is his desire to pronounce solely for
free silver 16 to 1 and stop. Not a
word of tariff, nothing of state banks.
No announcement of any further
principles of government which should
guide a party. A party cannot suc
ceed with naught but silver. Man
cannot live by bread alone. Bryan's
idea is practically only for a day. He
believes in using all the silver forces ;
democratic, republican and populist.
I believe in being a democrat and in
having a party of demo-Tats. If popu
lists and republicans aiming at free
silver and act with us, I would be
among the first to welcome them.
But I can't surrender my party's
faith to gain temporary aid. It might
do for the present, but would waste
the party and wreck the country in
the future. I lobk on populism as an
equal public threat with republican
ism. Carry republican doctrines to
their ultimate working out, and a few
men would own all the property of
the country, and the rest would be
beggars. Carry populism to its ut
most expression and nobody would
have any propertv at all. I'm against

EFTE01 OF TEE LOAN.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
of trade says: The surprising success
of the new loan and the great confi
dence it has given to investors on
both sides of the water and to busi
ncss men encourage many to hope
that it may be the beginning of a real
and substantial business recovery.
Considering the power which control
of thess bonds gives to regulate foreign
exchanges and to prevent exports of
gold, the transaction has indeed great
ly changed the financial situation in
spite of the fact that government
revenues are still deficient and that
domestic trade shows scarcely any
gain as yet. The industries are not
enlarging production, nor have prices
of farm products improved. But a
very important source of apprehension
and hindrance has for the time at
least been removed.

these 106 passed from the control of
the shareholders to the possession of
the bondholders during the period
covered by the report. The capitaliza

Dr. Leete loaned Cary $500. At that
time both men lived in Newark, New
Jersey. Cary emigrated to California
and made a fortune, but he never dur

money. When he died not long since,
his will was found to contain a clause
acknowledging his debt to Leete and
stating that the $500 was the founda

How His Life Was Saved.
From the New York City Catholic News J
No one would think to look at
Richard B. Brown, a commission mer
chant, of No. 306 Washington street,
New York City, that for six weekj he
suffered in agony in his bed and that
physicians had said it was impossible
for him to regain his health.
But now he is back in his office,
vigorous and hearty. He regards Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,
as the savior of his life. Mr. Brown's
story is remarkable.
" For several years," said Mr. Brown
to a reporter the other day, " I suffer
ed from inflammation and ulceration
of the bladder, a most stubborn dis
ease. My family physician was un
able to relieve me. At the advice bf
friends I consulted specialists, and
they all failed to do me any good. All
this time I was growing worse, and at
last I was compelled to take to my
bed.
" My mother in-law had heard of
Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and
she asked me to give it a trial. I had
been confined ' to my bed for five
weeks and I admit,that I didn't think
there was much chance of getting out
of it. Well, I tried Favorite Remedy.
There seemed to be a change that
surprised me. In a week I was able
to get out of bed and go afound the
house, and in a short time I recovered
completely. To day I'm as well as
ever and, what's better yet, I feel that
I am permanently cured. I can work
sixteen hours a day now, ami not be
broken up a bit. To Dr. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy is all the credit
due."
Favorite Remedy ranks, with the
medical profession, as the most per
feet of all blood and nerve medicines.
It restores the liver to a healthy con
dition, and cures the wcrst cases of
constipation. It is a certain cure for
all diseasespeculiar to females, and
affords great protection from attacks
that originate in change of life. It
cures scrofula, salt rheum, rheuma
tism, dyspepsia, all kidney, bladder
and urinary diseases, gravel, diabetes
and Briglu's disease.
In tnis last disease it has cured
where all else failed. Any druggist
can supply it. 2t.
Did Not Blame Them.
A pretty and talkative little girl,
evidently her mother's pet, was riding
in a Sixth avenue " L " train the other
afternoon. Her mother accompanied
her. The child often set the passen
gers laughing at her droll and ingenu
ous remarks. Presently a remarkably
fat Chinaman, in full Chinese costume,
entered and sat opposite the child.
She looked at him in apparent
amazement, and then, turning to her
mother, with an air that showed she
had " given it up," asked :
" Mamma, what's that opposite ! "
"Sh! That's a Chinaman, my dear,"
answered the mother, in a low tone.
1 he same kind of Chinaman nana
says the Japanese are killing ?"

The child meditated a moment and

Hpoclnl New York Letter.
After as much correspondence and
hair-splitting as would settle a great
international controversy, the Newi
York Yacht Club and the Royal Yacht
Club, of England, have arranged fop
another race for the America cup, to
take place off this harbor at some data
to be fixed In September next. As a
matter of fact, the contest is really s
great international struggle, of more
interest to the people of both countries
than either the Fisheries question OP

lately absorbed so much newspaper at

The America Cup has wielded potent

The America Cup.
yacht designing and building, and in
cidentally on the shipbuilding of the
two nations. The cup was offered or
iginally as an international challenge
cup by Queen Victoria, In behalf of
English yachtsmen, and called the
Queen's Cup." On August 22, 1851,
it was won off Cowes, Isle of Wight,
by the New York yacht, America,
against the whole English yacht fleet.
The America waa built especially by;
the great American " shipbuilder,
George Steers, to bring the cup to this
country. Here it has remained ever
since, and has become known to fame
as the "America Cup," and as the most
important trophy of yachting suprem
acy in the world. Probably no other
quality manifested by Americans has
proved so irritating to John Bull aa
our sucess in defending this trophy,
which he still regards as the "Queen's
Cup," and seeks with bulldog tenacity,
to take back to England. The Eng
lish yachts Cambria, Livonia, Genesta,
Galatea, Thistle and Valkyrie, and the
Canadian yachts Countess of Dufferia
and Atlanta, have all tried for the cup,
and been beaten by Yankee yachts and,
skippers. These contests have attract
ed the attention of the whole world,
and led to most important changes in
yacht racing and designing on both,
sides of the Atlantic, bo that at the
present time the sport absorbs the at
tention of emperors, princes, lords and
millionaires, as well as of all whoever
saw a sailboat or who love the excite
ment of international contests.
The most absorbing Interest is taken
in the coming contest on both sides of
the Atlantic. The challenger is Lord
Dunraven, who made the unsuccessful
contest with the Valkyrie ln 1893. He
is having a new yacht built, which la
to be ninety feet ln length on the wa
ter line. It will also be named the
Valkyrie, and will be built by Watson,
the famous English yacht designer,
who planned the Thistle and the first
Valkyrlo and many other famous Eng
lish yachts, including the Prince of
Wales" cutter Britannia.
English yachtsmen undoubtedly
build their hopes of at last winning
the cup on the good sailing of the
Britannia against the Vigilant in Brit
ish waters last year. Our yachtsmen
are not at all disturbed over the show
ing made by the Vigilant on the Eng
lish club courses. The Vigilant waa
built to defend the America Cup, on
an open ocean course, ln our own wa
ters, and she defeated the Valkyrie by;
her superior work ln sailing to wlnd-
Earl of Dunryn, Challenger.
ward and in running before the wind.
On the tortuous English courses these
two points of sailing were of minor ac
count, quick handling and knowledge
of currents and shifts of wind being
of more importance. The Vigilant in
variably outsailed the Britannia where
the course waa free and the wind,
steady, but as she rarely had these
conditions she succumbed to the Eng
lish yacht In a majority of the races.
There is every reason, however, to be
lieve that the Vigilant could defeat
the Britannia over an ocean course
with as much ease as she did the Val
kyrie. The new British yacht will undoubt
edly be better than either the Valkyrie
or Britannia, and so a new cup defend
er will be built. A New York syndi
cate has already ordered a boat of the
its
WW -
HereshofTs. The new boat will be,
ninety feet on the water line, will be
built entirely of Tobln bronso, and
will have a centre-bonrd. These points
lire practically decided. It is possible
there hiay be one or two other new
boots. A Philadelphia syndicate Is
expected to build a keel yacht after de
signs by Mr. Louis Nixon, the famous
designer of our war ships. There is
. Colonla, a Poanible Cup Defender.
also talk of a new Doston boat, and
some Baltimore yachtsmen are am tout
to prove that their city can reassert Its
former ynchtlng supremacy.
Another good suggestion Is to put
tho yacht Colonla In shape to meet the
new British yacht. The Colonla vu
built in 1893 as a cup defender, but
was beaten In the trial races by the
Vigilant. She showed herself to be
faster than the Vigilant on most point
of sailing, but was unable to keep pace
with her In windward work. The
Colonla Is a keel boat, and It is be
lieved that merely the addition of &
centreboard will correct her weakness
In windward work and make her the
fastest yacht ever sailed. Yachtsmen
generally pin their faith to the new
yacht to bo built by the HereshofTs. It
Is believed that Nat Herreshoff has
every detail laid down for the new cup
defender, and that she will show the
same improvement over, old deelgns
that all of his yachts have heretofore
shown. It is remembered with pride
that the two small yachts he built
last year for English yachtsmen won
every race they stilted across the wa
ter. There Is certainly no reason for
American wachtsmen to despair of our
being ablo to successfully defend the
cup again. Mu.to.n S. Mayhew.

Erroneous notions have long prevail
ed concerning tho original object 6f
the curfew. The custom of covering1
up fires about sunset ln summer, and
about 8 at night in winter, is supposed,
to have been introduced by William I.,
and to have been imposed upon the
English as a badge of servitude; and it
has often been quoted to show with
what severity the Conqueror sought to
press his cruel government even to the
very firesides of his subjects. But thie
opinion does not seem to be well found
ed, for there is evidence that the same
prevailed in France, Spain, Italy, Scot
land and prabably all the other coun
tries of Europe at this period.
The curfew was intended as a cau
tion against fires, which were then
very destructive, as so many houses
were built of wood; and of Buch fires
the Saxon "Chronicle" makes frequent
mention. Again, the curfew is said to
have been used in England at a much
earlier date than the Conqueror's reign,
and by so good a monarch as Alfred
the Great. He ordained that all the
inhabitants of Oxford should, at the
ringing of the curfew at Carfax, cover
up their fires and go to bed; which cus
it is stated in Peshall's "History of Ox
ford," "is observed to this day, and the
bell as constantly rings at 8 as Great
Tom tolls at 9." It is reasonable to
conclude that the Conqueror revived
or continued the custom, which waa
previously established ln Normandy.
The curfew Is mentioned to a late
period as a common and approved re
gulation, which would not have been
the case had it been originally imposed
as a badge of servitude or a law to
prevent the people from meeting at
their firesides and conspiring against
an oppressive rule. We even find the
ringing of the curfew bell provided for
by bequests of tracts of land or other
property, although this ringing waa
but the relic of the custom; for the
people are not supposed to have put
out their fires and lights beyond the
reign of William II. Henry . restored
the use of lamps and candles at court
after the ringing of the curfew.
More Prcclnni Than Gold.
If platinum continues to advance ln
price gold will soon be no longer dis
tinguishable as the precious metal, aa
the continued rise will cause gold to
be as cheap ln comparison as sliver Is
to gold. If an astute business man
had foreseen this rise, and made a
"corner" ln platinum, he would have
done a good stroke of business, for the
price of platinum has increased fire
times during the past three years and
is on the upward grade. The cause
of this enormous appreciation la the
demand for electrical purposes, and
the output of the mines has not kept
up with the demand. As electricity
Is brought home to the public the de
mand and price will Increase, for there
are Beveral uses to which platinum la

been found suitable. Notably among
these are contact points and leading ln
