SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Mr. Chandler Makes a Speech on the
Federal Elections Bill.
Washington, Jan. 25.—1n the Senate
this morning half an hour was devoted
to the presentation of memorials and pe
titions. principally relating to the tariff
legislation.
The Hawaiian resolutions were laid be
fore the Senep-. but they were laid aside
in olderthat Mr. Allen, pop.,of Nebraska,
might auaivss uie Senate on ihe resolu
tion off, red by him last Thursday declar
iu : that the Secretary of the Treasury is
not clothed, under the existing law. with
any legal authority to issue and sell
bonds: and that any such bonds, when is
sued would be null and void.
Mr. Allen read a prepared speech in
support of his resolution. No action was
taken on Mr. Allen’s resolution, which
still lies on the table.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Voor
hees and agreed to. appointing Mr. Mills
as a member of the committee on finance
during the absence of Mr. McPherson.
CHANDLER OX FEDERAL ELECTfOXS.
The House bill to repeal the federal
elections laws was then taken up, and Mr.
Chandler resumed his argument, begun
some days ago. against it. The whole of
Mr. Chandler's speech was devoted to a
review of what he called the ‘‘atrocious”
democratic crimes perpetrated at an
election several years ago in the
city of St. Louis; and to a
criticism of certain statements made by
Mr Vest in relation to that election. He
expressed the hope that some, senator
would in the course of the discussion refer
to the attempt to purchase, for *50,000
the electoral vote of Florida in 1876 from
Hayes and Wheeler and give it to Tilden
and Hendricks.
The bill went over without action; and
the business of the Senate was, at 3 p. in.
suspended, in order that fitting tributes
might be paid to the memory of the late
Representative Cbipman, of Michigan.
At 3:50 o'clock, the Senate adjourned
until to-morrow.
CAHL,ISLE'S BOND ISSUE.
The Secretary Very Eeluctant to Take
the Step.
Washington, Jan. 33.—Secretary Car
lisle addressed the House judiciary com
mittee to-day upon the subject of his pro
posed bond issue. The committee has
under consideration a resolution offerSd
by Representative Bailey, Uem., of Texas,
declaring that the secretary has no
authority under thepresent law to issue
bonds.
The sub-committi o having charge of
the resolution reported it favorably to
the full cornrni; tee. The full committee
discussed the matter, but ou motion of
Representative Goodnight, dem., of Ken
tucky, postponed final action on it until
Secretary Carlisle could be heard from.
The secretary occupied an hour and a
half explaining his position regarding the
proposed bond issue and answering ques
tions regarding it. He spoke of the defi
ciency; and said if it continued to
grow at its present rate it would
be in the neighborhood of $50,000.000 at
the end of the present year. He disliked,
he said, to have to issue bonds, and had
given the matter much thought before:
doing so.
At first he doubted his authority to do
bo, but after much study concluded that
he had it. Great pressure was brought
to bear to have him issue the bonds.

COMING WITH A HOWL.
The Cold Wave Sweeping Down To
ward the Coast.
The cold wave arrived in Savannah last
night, but not as severe as was expected.
Yesterday was about as disagreeable a
day as ever occurs in Savannah. A light
drizzling rain prevailed all day, with a
cold wind in the afternoon.
The lowest temperature reached was
42°, but last night the thermometer fell
to 27°, the lowest point reached this year.
The cold wind and rain continued during
the night, and the indications were that
there would be sleet by morning. Colder
weather is predicted for to-day, with
sharp north yviuds.
The cold wave made itself severely felt
in the interior and northern portions of
the Gulf states and north of the 35th
parallel. Severe freezing weather obtained
last night in Middle North Carolina,
Tennessee, Arkansas, the temperature
being 2° below zero at Nashville and 2 J
above at Memphis. Meridian reported 13’,
Montgomery 20° and Atlanta 18° above
zero. Very severe weather prevailed in
the northwest, the temperature being 30°
below at Hi ron, S. D. 26 at St Paul,
8° at Chicago, 6’ at St. Louis and 4° at
Cincinnati. To-day promises to be a very
cold day for this locality
The truck farmers did got seem to be
much worried tiere at the prospects of tho
cold wave. They have not put in any
early crops to speak of this season and
about the only crop of importance in the
ground at present is cabbage. The
cabbage crop is well advanced and it will
require a very severe freeze to hint
it. Seed beds and small patches of
garden truck were well covered last
night, however, and the truck farmers
are not likely to suffer loss unless the
spell should last for several days.
WHAT XEXT MONTH MAT BE.
Observer Smyth has just completed a
compilation of data from which a pretty
fair estimate of the weather for .Febru
ary may be made. The data shows the

highest temperature during February
was 84° on the 19th, in 1891; the lowest was
19° on the stli, in 1886; the average date
on which last "killing frost occurs in
spring is March 6.
The average rainfall for the month, is
8.08 inches; the average number of days
with .01 of an inch or more, is 10 ;
the greatest raiufalr for February, was
9.71 inches in 1874; the least was 78 inches,
in 1882; the greatest amount recorded in
any 24 consecutive iiours was '8.02 inches
on Feb. 14, 1874; the greatest amount of
snowfall recorded in 24 consecutive hours
(back to the winter of 1874-5) was a trace
on Feb. 8. 1875.
The average number of clear days in
February is 9; the average number of
partly cloudy days is 10, and average
number of cloudy days 9.
The prevailing winds are from the
northwest; the highest velocity of the
wind during any February was 40 miles,

WITCHING WOMEN OF HISTORY.
Many, Though Not Really Beautiful,
Possessed Mysterious Powers of
Fascination.
From the Chicago Herald.
What, asks Walter Besant. is woman’s
greatest charm' Sweet looks, sweet
speech, sweet smiles, sweet voice, lovely
eyes.’n comely head, a graceful figure; all
these are gifts and graces to be ardently
desired. Yet there is one gift that sur
passes all the rest. At the Royal Academy
in London there aro the portraits of three
women, Lady Hamilton, Mrs Jordan and
Sophie Arnould. The lovely Emma is a
type of rustic beauty at its best—not re
fined—likely to become coarse. Mrs. Jor
dan shows, Dehind a charming face, intel
lect. wit, cleverness and a gentle heart.
Sophie Arnould shows greater wit,greater
cleverness and a heart not so gentle, per
haps. Ou each of the faces there is in
addition, unmistakably, the same quality,
rare and wonderful. It is the quality for
which there is no other word than witch
ery. These were all three witches, but
instead of being burned at the stake they
set fire to every masculine heart that np
prt ached them. And the noble proces
sion of fair women—Delilah, Bathsheba
and her contemporary. Helen, of Troy;
Aspasia, Cleopatra, Diane de Poictiers,
Mary Queen of Scots, Nell Gwvnne— they
were all witches, and they all possessed
the wonderful, indescribable look which
proclaims their mysterious power of fas
cination. . Many there are who have this
fairy's gift in a greater or less degree.
Providentially, few k-ovv their own
power, and are content to bewitch one
man alone out of all the earth.
And what is the secret of this gift? It
is certainly not faultless beauty, for it is
a perfectly comprehensible paradox that
as a rule the women who have been
noted for the fascination of their beauty
were not pretty women at all. Annie
Boleyu had many plastic defects. The
Duchess of Burgundy, who lit up in the
old age of Louis XIV. and the court of
Versailles, and neutralized the morose
influence of Mine, de Muintenon, had a
goitrous neck and decayed front teeth,
yet she was proclaimed a beautj. Mar
guerite de Valois, with whom most of
the prominent Frenchmen of her day
were at some time or another desperately
in love, had heavy cheeks, too prominent
eyes, and a thick, hanging under lip. The
late Duchess de Berri would not have
been allowed to so much as complete
at a beauty show had she pre
sented herself incognito. Sir Walter
Scott, who was close to her at mass in
the Tuiieries Chapel, wrote in his diary
that she was plain, and that her eyes
were not fellows. At what age is this
charm most subtile'' Swift wrote with
cruel candor of Stella s fading charms,
and sent her as a birthday gift a rhymed
“Receipt to Restore Her Ixjst Youth” at
a period we should consider the prime of
life. George Ixtwis, in his "Life of
Goethe.” speaks of SI as the fascinating
leriod in a woman's life, being that in
which he considered her to have reached
the full development of her powers of
mind and lx>dy. And 83 was tho age at
which Frau von Stein proved dangerous
to the heart of the poet, who had ser
vived the more youthful charms of a
Gretelien, a Charlotte and Lilli.
Captured a Good-sized Octopus.
From the Sau Francisco Examiner.
Pacific Grove, Jan. 9. ForseVefial days
past the tides at Pacific Grove have been
exeeedingly;k>w, uinweglugpthe nocks to
quite a dKtance.. This uposualiy low
water has afforded excelleut chances for
choncholpgists and ichthyotomists, both
amateur and professional, and many have
taken advantage of this opportunity.
Among them was Mr. Hill, a resident of
this city. While scrambling among the
rocks he heard some distance oft a loud
thrashing of the water.
•T called a friend,” said he, “and we
hurried to the scene of commotion. We
saw what seemed to be a pool full of large
snakes, all of which were endeavoring to
make their escape at the same time.
Being some twenty feet from where they
were we stepped a few feet nearer, and
perceived to our astonishment that thoso
snakes were the legs of a large octopus,
commonly caused devil fish. He was evi
d ntly trying to catch some eels that were
imprisoned in the same pool as himself.
Being very eager to get a closer view of
such a rare sight, aud not being ac
quainted with the customs of the fish, we
were a little afraid of him. but upon see
ing us he instantly stopped his thrashing
and changed the clear water around him
to an inky blackness, which totally ob
scured him from our gaze. With the as
sistance of some friends we secured our
prize, and, with much difficulty, conveyed
him to a safe distance from the water.
“Our specimen is about 10 feet 7 inches
in length. Thelongestof his legs is ahout
7 feet. While his head is some 111 inches in
thickness: We have written to Stanford
University offering the specimen as an ad
dition to its collection.”
Ancient Maryland Will Books.
Prom the Baltimore Sun.
A bill will be shortly introduced in the
House of Delegates to provide for the
safety of the ancient will books of the
state, now deposited in the office of the
register of wills for Anne Arundel county.
The old general court, which was dis
solved by act of assembly in the begin
ning of the century, was the prooate
court of the whole state, and in it all the
wills were recognized. The old record
books are in an excellent state of pre
servation. They contain all the wills of
the whole colony and state for more than
a century and a half, beginning with
those of the first settlers. In those times
wills were much more full, solemn, and
elaborate than at present. The old will
books are the richest repository of family
history in Maryland. In them can be
traced pedigrees from father to son, gen
eration after generation.
