A Denial That AU the Patriotism Is on the Democratic Side -The New Con stitution f '.lias 35ippi Characterized as a Scheme to Disfranchise—A Torn on the Domiciliary Clause. Washington, Dec. HO.— ln the Sanato this morning Mr. Sawyar asked unani mous consaat for fixing au early day in January for consideration of the postal telegraph bill. Mr. Wolcott obj clod. Mr. Ingalls, at his ora requrat, was granted two weeks' lsave of absence. Mr. Platt introduced a joint resolution anpropriating SIOO,OOO to enable the Presi dent to take action to obtain from the Ger man government a supply of the remedy discovered by Dr. Koch and the formula for its manufacture. The resolution was laid over. The morning hour having expired, the presiding officer laid before the Senate the election diIL Mr. Paddock gave notice that after consideration of the pending bill, a id before it should be concluded, if its debate was to be protracted to any great extent, he would ask the Senate to take up the pure food bill, which was demanded by farmers from one end of the country to the other. REPUBLICAN LOVE OF LIBERTY. Mr. Edmunds demanded the regular or der. and tne door was taken by Mr. Spooner in a speech in advocacy of the bill. A. stranger in the gallery, lie sai.l, listening to this debate, without knowleugoof ti e his tory of the country, would be impressed with the idea that all the love of liberty and devotion to the constitution and free dom from partisanship was to be fou id on the other side of the o am ber. Ho hoped that the gentlemen an the other side would not assume that the republican seuators were not, equally with the 11, lover, of liber,y. He took pride in belo giug to a party whose history had been love of liberty and defe.i se of liberty. The senators on the ocher side constantly asserted that they spoke for t m Auglo tSaxon race. Tho republican senators wore also Anglo-Saxons, and they would be as unwilling as tho democratic senat irs to dis parage or degrade the race. The gentlemen oppodug inis bill denounced it as c eanv unconstitutional and spokeof their devotion to the constitution. He begged them to re member that devotion to theconstitutio i was not confined to the democratic side. The re publicans were de lounced as partisans. He be freed to suggest that possibly some per sons might imagi.ie that the fierceness of the opposition to this bill was attributable iu part t > partisanship. DENUNCIATION NOT ARGUMENT. The senators ought to be willing to con cede that in the c msidcrati m of a measure of this character there was room for a.i houcst dilfereuco of opinion, aiid should not forget that denunciation was nos argument, and that epithets i ever couvincod any intelligent mind. This debate bad been charac.erized by something of rudeness. Tho committee on privileges and elections had heo'i referred t > in language of discourtesy. Almost every sea tor on the other side had made harsh and bitter reference to the senator from Massachusetts (Mr. H nr). That senator needed no defense, and, if tins were otherwise, uo was abundantly able to take care of himself. Btt he hi ped that the senator would not think hnn officious in saying that he had heard the attacks with regret and indignation. When Massa chusetts counted imr jewels none would lie found richer and brighter than the name and tame of the senator in cuarge of he bill. He was ihe peer of any man who hod ever spoken for Massachusetts in this cham ber. SPOONER DEFENDS DAVENPORT. Mr. Spooner then proceeded t>> defend ■lohn I. Davenport fro n the attacks made upon ban, and contended, fortifying his contention with documentary evidence, that the federal election law, instead of being offensive to the democrats of the north, had been put into operation at their request >n many instances, Mr. Spooner then proceeded to discuss and de fend the details of the pe ding measure, and to rep y to the stricture* upon them made by Messrs. Gray and Daniel. A good deal has been said, IVlr. Spooner remarked, in connection w ith what was called “domi ciliary visits,” but nothing had been said of the domiciliary visits of the night risers at the south, or of the shooting of men and whipping of women. All the indignation of the democratic senators had been directed at domiciliary visits, involving only a po.ite inquiry by a federal official as to who “ v j‘d in trio nouse, so as to enable hi mto judge whether persons voting from that house were legal voters. COST OF TtlC BILL. The committee on p-ivilegos and elections had been entered because it could not esti mate the cost of the enforcement. f this bill, it was impossible to make such an estimate, becaus i the committee oould not know the extent to which toe bill would have to be enforced. But, whatever its cist, the people would not haggle over any cost that would secure fair elections. It had bteii said on tee oilier side that tbe bill was sitned at the south. It was, in pa*t. It Was aimed at every spot iu the United states where, by fraud or force, men who had a right to vote for members of congress were cheated out of that right. The south, he thought, was where the bill wtts specially needed. In proof of this bo read extracts from a speech nia ie by Mr. bhr.sman in the late co.i.tiUmoual conven tion of Miasissi pi, declaring that since 1875 there had not been a fiir election in that state; that in plain words they (the white P9Jple) had been stuffing ballot boxes, corn nut mg perjury, and carrying the elections Dy , a!l d violence, until the whole niacbp.ery of the eleedons was ab >ut to rot down. THK QUALIFICATION CLAUSE.

Referring to Mr. Ste .r art’s >peech of yesterday and to his re mark that the election law could not be enforced in the south, because public opi don woull not support it, Mr. .Spooner remarked: “To what c mplexion have we cme at last! Have we fal en i -toa conution i:i our country that calls for the preservation, by law, of the purity of the bsllnt at tbe north, but tiiat we must stop at Mason and Dixon’s line because public opinion in tho south is in favor of dishonest and fraudulent, and violent sup pression of the suffrage! 1 cannot believe it.” Mr. Spooner spoke for over five hiurs and his speech was listened to with marked attention and interest on both sides of the Chamber. Mr, Ingalls read some extracls from speeches of delegates to tin Mississippi con vention and from the editorials of the local papers on the subject of t e qualifica tion as to ability to read or to explain clauses f the constitution. He affirms it as his understand ngand belief, and as the con viction of the great muss of the people of the north, that tho constitutional c invention of Mississippi had been assem bled for the avowed purpose of disfran chising a majority of its citizens, who were also citizens of the Uni ed States. It had been assembled for the express purpose of nullifying and defeating and overthrowing amendments to the constitution of the United States by agreeing to which the state of Mississippi bal secured its read mission into the union. Mr. Higgins obtained the floor, and after a brief executive session tUe Senate ad journed. MORGAN OFFERS A RESOLUTION. Seaato Morgan to-day introduced a resolu ti n relative to the election bill, the nream ble of which recites that iu the bill reported to the Senate certain sections of the revised statutes are amended and made applicable but are not speoiflcallr mentioned, and that without the incorporation iu the bill of the sections referred to of the existing law it is uncertain what the changes are intended to be made. The committee on privi leges and elections is, there'ore, diiected by the resolution to amend section 31, so as to show what are the changes and modifications in the sections of the oxisti g law which are Intended to be made by the present bill. To avoid committing the bill and proposed amendment to tbe committee oti privileges and elections the committee is instructed to make a supplemental report, showing the chunges and modifications in the existing statutes which they recommend and provide for in the amendment reported to the Senate. FORCE BILL MSN SORB They Think That Hoar’s Policy of Si lence wos a Blunder. Washington, Dec. 20.—Congress may not take a recess formally, but it will do so in fact, for very little business is to be done Christmas week. Senators and representa tives are taking French leave. The Senate situation will probably remain unchanged until after New Year’s d.?y. Senator Sher man, who has not as yet formally reported h.s nnaneial MHf is going around with a paper trying to get all the republican sen ators to bind themselves to vote for it, and is not succeeding in getting tbe silver men or any other of ihe republican side to agree. Senator Aldrich and his followers think that no legislation is needed, or at all events is preferable to .such legislation. They thi.ikif they can keep it pending so as to keep a free silver bill out without letting it get to a vote they will bo doing the country a service. THE SILVER MEN. The silver men are still holding out for free coinage. The prospect of any financial legislation is, therefore, slight. "The force bill senators were more tuan ever per suaded when t ey heard Senator Spooner’s ringing and aggressive speech this after noon that they made their great mistake in not putting Senator Spooner forward in stead of Senator Hoar as tbe champion of their bill. Senator Hoar’s tile ce was a blunder, they think, and his inaction a crime. Senator Spooner, they sjy, would have forced the bill through by this time, or at the very least would have sent out a speech or two to break the dangerous mono oiy of the democratic oratory. The country, they say, through Senator Hoar’s blunder, lias heard but one side. Still, they say, a few more speeches like Stoouer’s will pass tbe bill. CLOTURE THE ONLY CHANCE. Of course nothing but cloture will pass tho force bill. This is still so far off that Senator Aldrich did not try to hold a meeting of the oommittee on rules to-day. He is goi g to wait now, he says, until the democrats are talked out. If he does, he will wait until March 4. Senators Ingalls, Allison and other republican leaders go home to-morrow for the holidays. There will be no caucus until tbsy return, and none then unless the informal caucuses held every day by the caucus managers come to somo agreement. SPOONER’S IN THB SWIM. A Judgeship, u Senatorship, and the Trajidency to Choose From. Washington, Dec. 20. —The statement is reiterated to-night that Senator Spooner has been rewarded for his indefatigable efforts to serve the administration in the Senate, especially iu the mat er of the force bill, by an offer of the vacancy on the supreme court bench, ana that he is con sidering it in connection with the possi bility that Senator Sawyer may elect him his successor in the Senate. Senator Spooner also has the presidential bee. A FBSS OOINAGa S3CITON. Reagan Offers on Amendment to the Financial BUI.

PARNELL ON THE STUMP. HE SAYS LIME AND NOT FLOUR WAS THROWN AT HIM. Filth Declared the Foundation on Which the Opposition Stands-He Promises Ireland a Parliament Which Will be More Than a Big Board of Guardians. Dublin, Dec. 30. —Mr. Harrington ar rived in Ireland tc-day. He was on the Aurania and came ashore at Queenstown, where he was enthusiastically received. The Freeman's Journal says the priests who were present at the Castle Comer meeting, at which Mr. Parnell was as saulted, sav it was mud, not lime, that was thrown into Mr. Parnell’s eyes, and asks: "How do they know that!” “It is not creditable,” says the Journal, “for them to be mixed up in outrages of this kind, but since it is notorious that they were con nected with the affair they ought either to hare examined the stuff taken from Mr. Parnell’s eyes, or to have respected the declaration of his doctors as to what the substauce was.” THE FIGHT AT KILKENNY. Kilkenny, Dec. 20.—Me srs. McCarthy and Sexton have left Kilkenny. The McCart.iyitas are concentrating their efforts upon the canvass for votes. A further contingent of priests have taken the field and are making strenuous efforts to secure tbe election of Mr. llennossy. Drs. Deckett and Fitzgerald, Mr. Par nell’s physicians, state that tho contents of the package thrown into Mr. Parnell’s eyes was lime, and that the danger of permanent lujury to bis sight is not vet over. PARNELL SPEAKS. Mr. Parnell, despite the injury to his eyes, continues to take an active part in tho cam paign. To-day he delivered an address from a window of the hotel. At the open ing of his address he referred to his treat ment by the MeCarthyites at Castle Comer and denied tbe st .tement that it was flour that was thrown in his face and eves. Ho was very positive in his asserti n that sla e and lime were the substances thrown at him. Mr. Parnell then devoted himself to explaining the political situation He declared that he would allow no combi nation, however powerful, to drive him from his duty to Ireland. He would not yield to English dictation. m’cauthy ripiculkd. Referring to Mr. McCarthy, he ridiculed him as a leader who did not have two ounces of steel in his whole body. The question before the Irish people, he said, is whether Irelaud should take her politi s from Eng land or from Ireland. The Iri-h people ought not to yield to old women humbugs who are airing their virtue tbr ughout the country. The whole policy of his oppo nents was the ventilation of lies about a miserable scoundrel. They had nothing to stand upon but filth, but tha pure waters of public opinion would wash them and their filth away. If tho people trusted him he would aim to obtain for them a parliament which would not be merely a big board of guardians to ba turned out by the batons of Dolice, but really a legislative body not under the con trol of English public opinion, and power ful to administer to Ireland’s needs, and to give Ireland a place among the nations. GONE TO MEET O’BRIEN. Messrs. McCarthy. Sexton and Condon have started for Boulogne to meet William O’Brien. Father Humphreys accompanies the party. Mr. Earned made another speech this evening. In the course of his remarks be said: “In 1805 God (old me to put my hands to the plow, and lobe, ed." Mr. Parnell con cluded his speech as follows: “I feel within me that the day of victory is near atjhand, and that this is the lust bitter and doubtf u struggle before Ireland. I feel that the gates of darkness will open before us. YVe aro even now walking in the vailev of the shadow of death, yet tho light will surely Come—the light of the Irish sun-burst, which has never been absent aud never w ill lie; but whicti will always lie a beacon to our nation to encourage U3 to go forward and to light our path and show us the true road. On that road we will walk together to victory.” Mr. Parnell also made brief speeches in othir villages. He has telegraphed to Mr. Harrington to come to Kilkenny. Thrt ughout the town of Skibboreen, in Cork, placards have been posted bearing tbe words: “Civil war is certain.” A SYMPATHY MEETING REPUDIATED. New York, Dec. 20.—Patrick Gleason, president of the municipal council of the Irish national league, issued a card to-day declaring that the Parnell sympathy moo‘- iug la-t night in Cooper Institute was not the action of the council, bit was done in its name illegally and without the authority of the council. He disclaims any respon - s.bil Hy lor the meeting, its utterances or sentiments. CAVB OF THB JAM9I3 GANG. Boom for Thirty Men and Twenty Eorees—Contained a Skeleton. St. Peter, Minn., Dec. 20. —A cave wherein the Younger and James gang hid during the raids on Nor hfield, where six men were kdied, has been discovered, and at the same time the mystery of (he disap pearance of the youngest of the James boys has been solved, his skeleton having been found in the subterranean re dezvous. A party of hunters traversing the great Fay ravine, in Nioollet county, found an old and >or opening iuto a common dugout. Hawed logs at the rear formed a “blind” door, whicu led into another room twenty feet long and sixteen feet wide, along one side of which bunks were arranged, and from the number of these at least thirty per sons had found sleeping accommodations there. A HOUSEKEEPING OUTFIT. This room contained several benches and Stools, an old table, tin plates and cups, kettles, a cook stove and various cooking utensils and the skeleton referred to. 'lheie was also a letter referring to the theft of some hor-eu, supposed to have been writ ten by Frank James to Jim You gi-r. Still nuother apartment was fou: and where horses had been secreted, the artificial cave be.ng large enough to accommodate twenty head at a time. BURGLABB SCOOP IN SO,OOO.

Cuayt ightcd by the .’heir York Associated Press, 1590.) Berlin, Dec. 20.—The number of Ameri can doctors who have waiting here trying to get some of the Koch lymph is last being diminished. Several of them succeeded in procuring small supplies for use in their private practice I efore Prof. Koch Issued his prohibitory order limiting the supply of lymph to hospitals or medical colleges. The majority have returned without the lymph, but weighted with experience acquired iu studyiug cases. During tha present week Prof. Gerbardt closed his exhibition of cases to nil foreign physicians, excepting some Americans. PP.OF. UERIIARDT’S BUOOF.HR. I’rof. Gerbardt has now treated seventy nine patients, giving two milligrammes uf lymph ns a fir A dose aud in some instances only one. Four of his imtieuts. who were suffering from advunoed phthisis, died. Three left the hospital much im proved. Twenty-four remain and are progressing favorably. Prof. Gerbardt expresses bis increasing satisfaction with the results of the remedy, especially in tuberculosis of the larynx, wh re the chances of recovery are better than In D lmouary phthisis. He confirms Prof. Koch’s experience that tho retnely is most useful in the iuiuul stage of the disease. AN AMERICAN UNDER TREATMENT. YVilliam Degun, an American who oamo to Berlin in onarge of Dr. YVilliam A. Talta- Vftll, a New York physician, and whi.se case has acquired prominence from his being the first American to visit Berlin for treat ment, received his first injection on Monday last. lie is uuder treatment of Prot. Ewald. The first dose was only one half of a milligramme, Prof. Ewald fearing to use any more on account of the weak condition of the pm lent. A slight reaction set in eight hours afterward. The patient’s temperature rose gradually until it reached 100 degrees. It then declined, and within six hours be came normal. Larger dunes have 1 cen In jected since. Degan’s c ugh is easier, and during the night he rests better. There aro other symptoms of an ameliora tion of his condition. Prof. Ewald exhib ited Degan to a large number of foreign pin sicianx as a typical case of temporary improvement resulting from the treatment, though he expressed doubt as to bis ulti mato cure, considering his condition. GUTMAN’S PATIENTS. Dr. Paul Gutman, who is treating sev enty-five consumptive?, presented before tho Hufelatid Go ellschaft four ca ns that had been absolutely cured of pulmonary phthisis. These cases had beeu tukou at the initial stage of the dis.ase. The dose iu these instances had been raised to five centi grammes. I’rof. Leyden reports that of 127 patients suffering from disoases of the lungs treated at the Charity hospital tho general results are promising. There has beau uo mishap in any instance. In c ntrast to Prof. Leyden’s experience the Colojne Gazette records the de ith of a Eatient who was oonfidod to the care of ir. Libbertz by Prof. Koch and who re ceived tae first injection from Prof. Kocb. The death of this patient, ihe Gazette says, can be traced to the injections. AN ADMONITION. Prof. Leydon, analyzing his own and other physicians’ experience, admonishes the do-tors to use the utmost caution in ovory case, be the patient strong or weak. Injections affect the heart strongly. Ali deaths following injectio s have been caused by the heart being affected. Berlin doct rs, upurt from thou# who practice in the hospitals and those belonging to Prof. Koch’s entourage, join the A merican physi cians iu their bitter complaint that they cannot procure the lymph. CARDINAL GIBBONS FOR POPE. Franca Would Throw Her Influence in-Bis Behalf. Paris, Dec. 20.— The question of the sup pression of Cardinal Lavigerle’s salary on tho ground that he has occupied himself with politics, was discussed to day in the Semite. The debate elicited a declaration from Mr. Fallores, minister of justice, that the government approved the cardinal’s defense of ths republic and con sidered him a good citizen. Moreover, added Mr. Fall ere*, the cardinal had not been blamed by the pope for his statements. Tbe tenor of tbe minister’s remarks showed a strong desire for the establishment of an entente with the Vatican. Tho delete was purposely raised to ascertain the strength of tbe policy of rapprochement.
