NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON
There haa been some agitation
daring the week with reference to a
change in the oanal type from the
lock system adopted some four years
ago, to the sea level plan as was pro
posed by a majority of the disting
uished engineers onoe sent there.
Informal reports and speeches by
the President elect and information
from the distinguished civil engin
eers would seem to indicate however
that the lock system Is still in high
favor. Colonel Goetbals is new in
the city and will appear before the
House and Senate Committees on
Iuteroceanio canals and these will
doubtless receive maob first band
Information from him.
Preparation for the Inauguration
now lea than three week distant
are going on. Every precaution ii
being taken to prevent overcrowding
of the Capitol. No perton will be
admitted to the floor or to theinang .
ural platform without a card signed
by the committee on arrangements,
exoept tbey be members of tba Sen
a's and elective officers ; ex vice
presidents j justices of the Supreme
Court and officers; the Admiral of
tho Navy and bis aid ; the chief of
staff of the army an bl aid. Cards
of admission to the floor and tickets
of admission to the extent of two
each have been given to the sens
tors- for their friends. That is a
smaller nnmber than has been given
oat on previous occasions.
Pennsylvania Avenue bas begun
to assume quite a baseball like ap
pearance. Seats or bleeohera have
been erected at open spaces along
tha Avenue where thousands ol peo
pie may secure seats at prices vary
ing from fifty ceota to two dollars.
Much will depend on the weather,
which, of course, is always a doubt
ful element on tha fourth day of
March.
Aa the present administration
draw to a close, the legislative body
finds itaelf embarrassed with a unit -
ber oi problems that la all probabili- j
ty caunot be solved at this s&sior.
The Presidenthas vetoed the Censi a
bill whloh contained tha objectiona
ble provision authorizing the a
p ilntment of oensns employees by
members of Congress instead of thru
competitive examination under the
Civil Service rules The President's
attitude towards this question and
toward other pending measure may
result iu the failure of a number ol
important bill in the present Con
gress. It 1 thot by the leaders ot
the House that the Sundry Civil
Bill which contains appropriations
for the maintenance of tha Secret
service and possibly one or two other
apply bills and the Census bill wi 1
fail of passage this session. In suoh
case, tbey mast be taken up and pat
into the form of law at the apecial
session to be called fn March. The
determination to defer aotion on at
least one appropriation bill and to
lay ovor the Census bill, will ot
coarse opea the way for maob gen
eral legislation and this suggests that
many measures other than that re
lating to the tariff will come up for
consideration and probably he passed
at tba special session, A committer
on the Census met so consider the
President' vetoed measure. No for
mat aotion waa taken, but discussion
in committee Indicated that it would
be unwise at this late day to try to
pass the Census Bill over the Presi
dent's veto.
Tha House recently passed the
Agricultural appropriation bill with
an amendment providing that all
discoveries made by the Department
of Agriculture inoldent to test of
paper making material shall be pat
ented in the name of the Secretary
of Agriculture for the benefit ot the
whole people.
There are indication amounting
almost to certainty that the small
junta of leaders la the Senate, Aid

who ia perhaps the ablest man of
them all, will retire after March 4th.

Here is an artiole which appoared ia
the Louisville Herald, Sunday, Jan
uary 31, written by the Special Cor.
respondent of the Herald, front Om
aha, January 24."
It you were suffering from tuber-
oalosis, would yoa take a chance
with poison for long life or quick
death?
Would yon permit the doctors, ex
perimenting doctors, to fill your
veins with deadly mercury or wonld
yoa prefer to suffer the ills that yoa
haver
Six men, consumptives, in the
oonnty hospital ia tbis city, hae
given ' themselves a sacrifice, for
such It may be, in the hope that the
experiment on their lives may prove
a great and lasting benefit to man
kind. Their reward will be health
if the mercurial tests are shown to
be a success.
Dr. C. C Tomlinson, tesldent phy
sician at the Omaha Hospital, is iu
charge of the experiments. He is
assisted by a number of prominent
Western physicians, who believe
with hint that a sure cure for con
sumption will be brot forth from the
use of mercury.
The six men will undergo tho
treatment for eight months. At the
start thirty injections ot one-fifth of
a grain of mercury will be adminis.
tered every other day for aixty days.
Then there will follow a cessation of
meroory injections for fifteen days,
potassium iodide being administered
Instead.
At thli point an entire week of .
rest will be given the patients and
then the treatment will be repeated.
Dr. Tomlinson believes that these
meroury treated patient will show
immediate signs of . improvement,
that their temperatures 'will be ap
preciably reduced, and that they will
gain in weight gradually, the evi
dences ot tubercular baccllll rapidly
diminishing and the cough and ex
pectoration becoming less pronoun
oed. Isolation and aoientifio treatment
will be made possible during the ex
periments thru the recent construc
tion of an especially designed tuber
culosis ward. The six patients will
sleep in the open air, protected only
from rain and blizzardsby mere can
vas curtains, drawn around the aides
of tha ward in especially InclemeDt
weather.
Regular hoars will be maintained
daring the mercury experiments.
The patient retire at 8 p, m. and
arise at 7 a. m. Likeolockwork will
be their dally living. Tobacco in
any form will not be permitted, and
every patient will live a simple life
tor the next eight months.
For recreation they will read mag
azines, play cards snd indulge in
other games, occasionally taking a
walk. Cod Liver Oil emulsion will
be given daily to help build np the
systems of the patients.
Students of the Nebraska medical
ohool and prominent physicians
generally are watching the outcome
ot the experiments with eagerness,
and will continue to do so during the
eight months the lives of the six vol
unteers bang In the balance.
