After Voting on Puerto Rican
Bill Tuesaay the House
May Select its Next
Subject.
Washington, Feb 25 --The time of
toe senate during the present week
will be divided between the questions
of the finances, the government
.policy towards toe insular poeee9
8?OD8 and the seating of Senator
Quay upon the nomination of
tbe governor of Pennsylvania
The Hawaiian bill remains
tbe unfinished businese subject to j
-removal at any time by the Quay re I
solution and al60 by the conference
report upon the currency biil.
Senator Aldrich has given notice
tbat be will make an ^explanation of
tbe currency bill agreement on Wed
eesday, and that be will call it up
tbe next day (Thursday) and then
ask final action upon it The re?
quest, of course, will lead to a spirit
ed contest, to many sharp speeches
aod to the final adoption of the re
port by practically the same vote .by
which the bili originally passed the
senate. The matter may be before
-tbe senate for severai days
There will be speeches during the
week on the Quay resolution, and
there is a probability of reaching a
vote on it the latter part of the week
Senator Chandler probably will speak
for Mr Qasy Monday, and Senator
Tcrley in opposition Later in the
week Senators Hoar and Penrose will
talk for Mr Quay, and Senator Bur
rows in opposition. After these,
only short speeches will be heard
Senator Penrose says he will make
an effort to have the discussion con
fined to the morning hour, so as not
to interfere with other questions be
fore the senate, but that if a disposi
tion to delay the vote should become
apparent he will then press the Quay
matter He counts upon a vote later
in the week, and say9 he expects
a larger vote than was cast in Mr
Quay's favor in taking the resolution
np
When the Hawaiian bill is voted
apon the Puerto Rican bill will be
taken up Senator Depew Tuesday,
will speak on the preblems connected
with the Philippine islands
The event of the week in the house
of representatives will be the taking
of the vote on the Puerto Rica tariff
.bill. This has been set for 3 p m
Tuesday, although the differences
which have arisen on the biil may
compel a rearrangement; of the pro
gramme The general debate on J
the measure will close Monday, and
Tuesday up to the hour of voting the
debate wiil proceed under the five
minute rule. Extraordinary interest
attaches to the outcome of this strug
gie, owing io the differences which
have arisen on the Republican sion
of the chamber It had been ar
ranged that the debate shoulci pro
ceed Monday night, but this must
give way to the report on conference
in the hall of the house at 8 p m ,
whin ?the final effort will bri made to
reconcile differences and agree upon
a compromise bill
Fer the rest of the week no exact
procedure has been amn?;ed .eicepr
that the Alabama contested election
C3SO of Aldrich vs Robbins will be
considered as soon as the Pu<Mt .
.Rican biil is out of the way This
case involves race questions and
gives the opportunity for that extend
ed range of debate usually excited
by questions of that nature
The army appropriation bill is on
the calendar and doubtless wi 1 re
ceive consideration the latter part of
the week Owing to the extent of
the military forces io the Philippines,
tbe appropriations this year are ex
ceptionally heavy, and this may bring
on a geueral discussion of army
affairs and the Philippines
The Hawaiian bill and the Nicara
gua canal bill are aiso awaiting a
bearing, although it ie not likely
either of them will be taken up this
week

building His rise was HO rapid as?
to be phenomenal He became chief
engineer in 1887, general manager a
little later, and in 1896 a partner in
the company. Yeats ago he was
offered a salary oj more than $50,000
a year to go to England and take I

Alcohol Fire Near Paris.
j Parie, Feb 25 -As the resuit of a
I fire thar, broke cut this morning at St
j Ouen, a suburb of Paris, io a ooilec
; tioo of aloobol and ci 1 stores from some
I unknown cause a series of explosions
j occurred, spreading the flames until a
bleck of six immense warehouses was
; involved in a huge conflagration.
A great concourse of spectators had
I assembled and had approached too near,
when, euddaoiy and unexpectedly, the
j explosion occurred A large number
ot people, including somo firemen,
were more or less irjared The last
explosion occurred at 6 o'clock tb ss
afternoon when it was thought that ali
such danger had boen averted. Thirty
persoos vrere injured by flying debris j
The oficial computation 6hows tbat i
150 were burt, and quite a number se?
riously
The fire broke out at 8 o'clock from
some cause as yet unknown and bad
obtained firm hold before it was dis?
covered It progressed without excit
ing incidents during the morning and,
at 1 o'clock bad been gotten under con?
trol At 4 o'clock however, tbe falling
walls permitted the flames to reach a
number of aloobol vats, and then the
explosions began to take place.
The block of warehouses was almost
surrounded by unoccupied ground over
which the burning alcohol spread whee
the buildings collapsed, resembling a
sea of flames aod oausing consternation
throughout the district People io the
dwellings nearby hastily removed their
furniture The suffocating beat and
lames seriously hampered the work of
the fire brigade. A number of eogioes
were sent from Paris to assist. The
firemen worked fearlessly and, more
than once, were precipitated to tbe
grouod by falling roofs and walls.
A detachment of soldiers aided the
firemen io emptying the adjacent
bouses of furniture; and tbe ambulances
were busy ia carryiog victims to the
neighboring hospital
Fortunately the flames did not reach
the immense reservoirs of petroleum.
Tbe loss is estimated at 2,000.000
traces.
Water For Communion Ser?
vices.
Rev Edward Everett Hale, the ven?
able pastor of the South Congrega?
tional oburch, has brought about a
radical departure in thc communion
service at his church hy substituting
water for wino. Dr Hale has been
desirous for macy vears to bring about
this change and wheo the communi?
cants tasted ordinary water in place of
itbe grape juice at tbe service last Sun
day there was considerable comment
Dr Hale explained the matter to tbe
congregation by soying that in. accord
ance with bi* earnest desire of some
years the officers of the church had
decided to cse water in the communion
'.This :s a mere matter of detail,''
he said. "Tho use of wine i.-; no w?7

FLOUR TRUST BUSTS.
Milwaukee, Feb 26.-The United
States Milling company, generally
known as the flour tru6t, collapsed
Saturday afternoon, but the fact did
not become known until today, when
Judge Jenkins in proceedings ancil?
lary to the United States court of
New Jersey appointed three receiv?
ers for the company, two of whom
are now in charge of the property.
The collapse is credited to the com
puny's inability to float its securities
on the open rnaiket The receivers
are Daniel Thomas of New York,
Charles E Kimball of Summit, NJ,
and Albert C. Loring of Minneapolis
The same receivers were appointed
in Minnesota and New Jersey It
was formed last April and capitalized j
at ?25.000,000. Proceedings similar '
to today's will have to be instituted
in every circuit whore the company
owns property The greatest litiga
tion will probably be in Wisconsin,
as the majority of the company's
property is in this State The com
pany, Mr Baliou's bill sets forth, will
be unable to meet any of its obliga?
tions as they maturo Its canh in
the bank is about $1,000 and it has
no bills or accounts receivable, the
proceeds of which would be sufficient

Analysis of Fert?iZ9rs.
! Mr Ashley f?*iied to get the senate
j to pass his bill reducing the privilege
j tax on fertilizers to 10 cents a ton.
1 Bot he was more successful with his
I bill to provide that a purchaser of
j chemical fertilizers may have the
j same analyzed free of cost at dem
eon college
The act, which was approved by
the governor on the I9;b, reads :
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
general assembly of the State of South
Carolina :
That from and after the passage of
this act, any citizen of this State who
shall purchase any commercial fenil
izers or manures, shall have the
right to have the same analyzed by
Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical
college, by taking a sample of same
from at least 10 per cent of such
fertilizers iu the presence of at least
two disinterested witnesses, one to
be chosen by the purchaser and one
by the seller, who shall certify that
such sample was taken from such
fertilizers or manures, which certifi
cate, with the sample, shall be sealed
by a third disinterested party in the
presence of said witnesses, and di?
rected to Clemson Agricultural and
Mechanical college.
Sec 2 The said college shall have
the said sample analyzed free of cost,
! and within three months after receiv
I ing the sample supply shall furnish
the purchasers of such fertilizers or
manures with a certificate giving the
per cent of the different fertilizing
ingredients of same, signed by the
I chemist of Clemson Agricultural and
Mechanical college, which certificate
sba!! be admissible as evidence in all
suits relative to such fertilizers or
! manures, whether the same be insti
j tuted by the veudor or purchaser of
same
Sec 3 That any vendor of com?
mercial fertilizers or manures whose
goods or wares fall short to the ex
tent of 10 per cent in any fertilizing
ingredient guaranteed by the analy
sis on the sack or vessel hoidirjg
same, when delivered to the pur
chaser, shall forfeit one-half the eaie
price thereof, to be recovered by
suit Gt set up as a counter-claim to an
action for the purchase price of such
fertilizers or manures
Sec 4. Be it further euacted : That
if any seller or yendor of fertilizers
or commercial manures shall refuse,
decline or neglect to choose a wit
ness, as provided ia section 1, after
having been notified or requested by
the purchaser so to do, then he tr
they shall have forfeited their right
so to do, and the purchaser snail
select two witnesses, who shall select
the third witness, who shall proceed
to take samples as hereinbefore pro

A skunk once challenged a lion to
single combat. The lion promptly de?
clined the honor. "Why." said The
skunk, "are yon afraid?" "Very much
so," said the lion, "tor you would only

with a lion, while every one h o met
me for a month would know I had
been in company with a skunk."
This reminds us of the story about

POSITIONS IN SLEEP.
HOW VICTIMS OF iNSOMNIA MAY
WOO SWEET SLUMBER.
Tito Way One Should Lie In Red In. I
Order tc Obtain Natural Repose.
Varions A ila? eats uud thc Postures j
Best Adapted to Them.
Positions that woo sleep in victims |
of insomnia is an interesting study
made by a well known metropolitan
I physician. Whitman V. White of
Brooklyn. 1 >r. White is a .specialist
on nervous diseases and in a mild
[ but emphatic maimer scores his pro?
fessional brethren for their free admin?
istration of narcotics. Ile denounces
the practice as unnecessarily taxing
on the disorganized systems of insom?
nia patients in many cases. In his
own experience he has found a simple
method adequate without weakening
after effects likely to produce increas?
ed symptoms.
"Through a study based on the laws
of physiology in human anatomy ex?
tending over a period of a dozen or
more years I have learned that under
certain physical malconditions," said
the physician, "the subject may be
.given relief by assuming positions at
rest that will from the ease afforded
the affected parts serve as a natural
somnolent agency. It will be readily
understood that a constrained position
will tend to prevent natural repose-,
while a comfortable one will woo it
But what may in most cases seem to
be a position of ease may in reality be
the reverse.
"For instance, a dyspeptic will rest
more easily lying on the right side for
the simple reason that in that position
the food naturally gravitates out of the
stomach and into the intestines, while
if lying on the opposite side that or
gan, in its weakened state, has to per?
form an uphill process of digestion.
This is amply sufficient to produce in?
somnia.
"Lying flat .a thc back, with thc
limbs relaxed, would seem to secure
the greatest amount of rest for the
muscular system, whether in good
health or illness. Such is the position
advocated by physicians generally in
the most exhausting diseases, and it
is hailed as a sign of rapid recovery
when a patient exhibits an inclination
to turn on either side. But at the same
time there are several disadvantages
in the supine posture which impair or
embarrc-ss sleep, whether in case ol1
severe illness or ordinary health. Thus
in weakly states of the heart or blood
vessels and certain morbid conditions
of th.) brain the blood seems to gravi?
tate to the back of the head and to ac- i
cordingly produce troublesome dreams.
I believe that much of that weaken
ing delirium which the physician has
to contend with in treating serious
.maladies is often occasioned in this
way.
"In persons who habitually stoop in
their gait or work, either as a result
of the requirements of iheir occupa?
tion or from the course of their physi?
cal development, there must necessari?
ly be some distress consequent in
straightening thc spine. It may not
br sufficient to canse pain and yet bc
such a strain as to prevent perfect j
ease. The result is unconscious rest?
lessness, which is the producer of in?
somnia.
..people who have contracted chests
cannoi sleep well lying upon their
backs. This rule applies especially tu
those wh<> have suffered with pleurisy
and retain adhesions of thc lungs. They
will rind it easier to get t<> sleep upon ?
the right s?de and thar their somnolent
rest will do them more good if they
observe this advice. Furthermore, thc
habit of lying on the back is the cre?
ator of snoring, which much belabors j
sleep and prevents the subject from
receiving the full benefit of its recuper?
ating effects.
"It is desirable, therefore, in all cases
to lie on the side, and in the absence ol
special diseases rendering it more de- j
sirable to lie on the weak side, whicli
leaves the st ron.? lung free to expand,
Tlie right side should be chosen. A
glance at any plate cf the visceral
anatomy will show that when the body
is thus placed the food in the process
of digestion is greatly aided in its
passage from the stomach into the in
?estines. Here the principle of gravi?
tation directly applies. Then the fact
that the stomach doesn't compress the
upper portion of the intestines is still
another advantage to be gained from
lying on the right side when sleep
wooing ease to the entire human mech?
anism is under serious consideration.
"In conclusion, I wish, to refer tc
some injurious eccentricities, or fads,
iu sleeping which 1 have observed. A
wealthy woman once came to me foi
treatment for bad dreams of the or?
der commonly called nightmare. Up?
on making inquiry I discovered' that
she was in the habit of lying at rest
with her anns 'brown up over bet
head, a position greatly to be deprecat?
ed, although it will induce sleep in per?
sons who have weak lungs. The cir?
culation is thereby made stronger in
the extremities, and the head and neck
and muscles of the chest are drawn
up and relaxed by the shoulders."
