CRAZED BY A N AVAL FIGHT.
The Hero of the Rattle of the Ynlu
Bose* Ills Reason.
New York, Jan. 14.—Capt. Philo Mo-
Griftip, a former officer Of the United
states navy and afterwards of the Chi
nese imperial navy, who fought the flag
ship Chen Y r uen against the combined at
tack of the entire Japanese fleet in the
memorable battle of the Yalu river, on
the afternoon of Sept. 17. IS!M, has been
taken to the post-graduate hospital in
this city, a violent madman.
His ravings grew so violent toward the
last that it became necessary to ask the
assistance of the police to subdue him.
The police failed, owing to the fact that
Capt. McGriffin stood at the head of the
stairway with a 44-caliber navy revolver
in each hand, threatening to shoot the
first man who approached.
'lt was only when John McGriffin, the
captain’s brother, arrived in haste from
his home at Little Washington, Pa., that
the raving man could be induced to listen
to a rational word. He was placed in the
care of the expert alienist, Dr. Graeme
Hammond.
The complete wrecking of this brilliant
naval officer and tactician Is the direct
result of the terrific strain to which he
was subjected during the battle of Y'alu.
His eagerness to work the warship Chen
Yuen to the best possible advantage led
him to expose himself to the fire of the
enemy, and while he could walk about af
ter the battle, he was a dangerously
wounded man.
Both his ear drums were ruptured, his
eyes permanently affected and his head
and body filled with splinters of woodwork
and steel.
Dr. Hammond thinks that a splinter of
bone or of extraneous matter is impinging
upon Capt. McGiffin’s brain. It is only by
operation that the true cause of the offi
cer’s insanity can be determined.
CULBERSON'S MESSAGE.
He Goes For the Life Insnrance Com
panies Without Gloves.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 14.—Gov. Culberson
sent his message to both houses of the
Texas legislature to-day.
Among the most important measures
touched on In his recommendations are
the platform demands requiring each ex
press company to maintain a general office
in this state; also a proposition to make
life insurance companies doing business in
the state to invest at least half their re
ceipts from this state in investments here.
Under this head the governor whacks life
insurance companies hard, accusing them
of all manner of fraud in wringing money
from the people. Touching on the general
assignment law, which will be a great
item in the session, the governor places
himself on record as favoring an aboli
tion of the preferred creditor's clause, say
ing no ends will justify such means as
naming preferred creditors.
SEARCHING FOR A DAUGHTER.
The Father Believes She Has Bern
Deceived by u Suitor.
Columbus, Ga., Jan. 14.—A. W. Gosa, a

ter, Ella Bell, who was brought here a
day or two ago by Fletcher Spurllng, a

fidence, and when Spurllng brought the

man, hut search failed to find her there.

SESSION OF THE SENATORS.
A NEW PHASE OF THE PACIFIC
RAILROAD PROBLEM.
Senator Morgnn Thinks They May
Have Heeome the Property of the
United States by Forfeiture—The
Oklahoma Free homestead Hill
Passed—The Army Appropriation
Bill Plneod on the Calendar—The
Senate Adjourns Until Monday.
Washington, Jan. 14.—A new phase of
the Pacific railroad problem was pre
sented in the Senate to-day, in the form
of a resolution, offered by Mr. Morgan,
instructing the Judiciary committee to
inquire whether by the very fact that
certain of the bonds of the Union and
Central Pacific Railroad Companies had
fallen due, anti were not paid, the prop
erty of those companies had not become
and was now the property of the United
States. The resolution went over without
action.
The House bill for free homesteads on
the public lands In Oklahoma territory,
which had been the “unfinished business”
In the Senate since the first week of the
present session, came to a vote to-day,
after three hours’ debate, and was passed;
yeas, 35; nays, 11. It was first amended
in a very important particular, by strik
ing out the words "in the territory of
Oklahoma,” thus making it apply to all
public lands acquired from the various
Indian tribes. It provides that all set
tlers on those lands shall be entitled to
patents, on payment of the usual and
customary fees, and that no further
charge of any kind shall be required. It
also provides, by another Sonate amend
ment, that all sums of money so released,
which if not released would belong to any
Indian tribe, shall be paid to such tribe
by the United States. The bill now goes
back to the House for action on the Sen
ate amendments.
The army appropriation bill was report
ed back from the committee on appropri
ations and was placed on the calendar.
The printing of 3,500 extra copies of the
Anglo-American arbitration treaty, and of
2,000 extra copies of the memorandum re
cently presented by Mr. Hale, rep., of
Maine, as to the right of recognizing for
eign governments, was ordered.
The Senata hill for an examination of
the improvements at the Pass of Aransas,
Tex., was taken from the calendar and
passed.
Mr. Morgan moved to proceed to the
consideration of the Senate bill to amend
the act to Incorporate the Maritime Canal
Company of Nicaragua. The vote was:
Yeas, 33; nays, 6—no quorum. The nega
tive votes were cast by Messrs. Berry,
Blackburn, Chilton, Cockrell, Gray and
Teller.
Mr. Morgan moved a call of the Senate,
but Mr. Hill remarked that it was too
late to attempt to get a quorum, and he
moved an adjournment. The motion was
agreed to, and the Senate, at 4:40 o’clock,
adjourned till Monday next.
HOUSE PUTS IN BUSY HOURS.
The Antl-Oleomaraarine Law Passes
Its Third Reading-.
Washington, Jan. 14.—When the House
met this morning many members waited
impatiently in their seats for business to
begin. Each had a printed copy of some
bill In his hand, eagerly hoping to get it
through under the unanimous consent
rule. When the journal hadm been read a
score of members were on their feet cry
dng for recognition and business went
along merrily for a while. A number of
private pension and other minor bills were
passed.
Mr. Fitzgerald, dem., of Massachusetts,
secured the passage of a resolution calling
on the Secretary of the Navy for an esti
mate on the cost of putting the frigate
Constitution in condition to make the
Journey from Portsmouth, N. H., to
Washington to be used as a naval mu
seum.
The bill discussed yesterday to make
oleomargarine and all other' imitation
dairy products subject to the laws of the
state or territory into which they are
transported, was called up by Mr. Grout,
rep., of lowa, and discussed by Messrs.
Cooper, dem., of Florida, and Tucker,
dem., of Virginia, in opposition, and
Messrs. Northway, rep., of Ohio, and
Morse, rep, of Massachusetts, in favor
of it.
The opposition was on the *>neral
ground that the bill provided for an inter
ference with the power of congress to
regulate interstate commerce. The right
of a state to prevent the importation into
its boundaries of a product which the
laws of that state prohibited, was the basis
for the arguments in favor of the bill.
The opposition, however, did not prove
formidable on the yea an<%nay vote on the
third reading, which the opponents of the
measure accepted as final. The yeas were
126 and the nays 96. Some amendments to
perfect the measure were agreed t,o with
out opposition.
The President's message vetoing the hill
to create anew judicial district in Texas,
was referred to the committee on the ju
diciary.
Mr. Sherman, rep. of New York, pre
sented the Indian appropriation bill.
The House then, at 4:52 o’clock, ad
journed until to-morrow.

NEW ENGLAND’S MILLS.
C Curtailment of Production Ippcaro
luavolilnble.
Boston, Mass., Jan. 14.—There is every
prospect that New England is on the verge
of another mill curtailment, although not
to as large an extent probably, as occur
red during last summer. Hon. T. J. Coo
lidge, treasurer of the Amoslteag mills,
says; ‘‘Business has been so bad the last
few weeks that a curtailment of produc
tion seems almost necessary. The Fall
River mills appear to be the greatest suf
ferers, but all lines are suffering from
over production. I am in hopes of some
improvement in the spring, but as yet
there are no signs of any, and it certainly
should be apparent by this time. The
great demand for our wheat is a very
favorable sign and should 'help. The im
poverishment of the country prevents the
people from vising goods of which they
were formerly consumers, and in conse
quence we have an over production in all
commodities. The only remedy apparent
is curtailment in production and l think
it will have to come shortly in some of
the mills which have unable to sell
their goods.
"If a curtailment Is made each mill will
probably take Its own course. Some mills
may think it cheaper to shut down en
tirely for a time, while others may th(nk
it cheaper to keep tunning on forty hotrs
or less per week.”

FAIR BEGINS TO FIGHT. ”
Persons Implicated in the Alleged
Forgeries to Be Prosecuted.
San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 14.—Charles N.
Fair has started his crusade against Mrs.
Nettle R. Craven and the persons con
nected with the production and establish
ment of the alleged forged deeds to prop
erty belonging to the estate. Notary
James J. Cooney was arrested this*morn
ing upon a warrant issued by Judge Cook,
charging him with perjury. The com
plaint against Mr. Cooney charges him
with having sworn that Fair appeared
before him Sept. 27, 1894, and acknowl
edged two deeds of different property in
favor of Mrs. Craven. It avers the blanks
used by Cooney were not in existence on
the date and the notary clipped the name
and date from the bottom, in order to
cover his wrong doing. Cooney was
brought before Judge Cook this afternoon
and his examination set tor Monday.
Just as soon as the complaints can be
drawn up by District Attorney BarpeZ,
two additional charges of perjury .{kill be
placed against Cooney. The charges are
based upon the averments of the com
plaint filed by Cooney for damages for
defamation of character. Some time ago
Mr. Fair pronounced the pencil deeds
forgeries, and denounced Cooney, where
upon the notary brought suit.-

on the inside Into their box. This was
done between midnight and daybreak and
it was early morning when they lugged
off their plunder. They sold the eggs

From tho New York Sun.
Est Orange, N. J., Jan. 6.—Policeman
Wolfe of East Orange has two water
spaniels, a turtle and a sleek gray cat. The
turtle is kept in the cellar, where It exists
on snails. About 2 o'clock this morning
the barking of the dogs and the shrill
cries of the cat aroused Mr. Wolfe.
He found the trouble was In the cellar,
and when he got down there he saw that
the turtle had got one of the cat’s paws
In lts mouth and had been drawing its
head Into Its shell, taking the paw along.
After the shell had been pried open and
the cat's paw removed the paw swelled up
to an abnormal size. Mrs. Wolfe ban
daged the Injured paw and peace again
reigned.

Experiments With Aluminum I’ro
dnee Unsatisfuetory Results.
From the Baltimore American.
Washington, Jan. 12.—The Secretary of
the Treasury transmitted to the House ol
Representatives to-day his reply to the
resolution of June 9, 1896, calling for such
Information as he might be able to obtain
as to the comparative merits and advan
tages of pure nickel, nickel alloy, alumi
num combined or alloyed with other met
als and of copper bronze as material for
our minor coins, and for the purpose of
making such information as full as possi
ble the Secretary of the Treasury was au
thorized to have struck such experimen
tal minor coins.
In his reply the secretary reports that
the records of the department show that
many experiments have been made at the
mint at i’hlladelphla of different alloy*
for the minor coinage, and a number of
changes have been made from time to
time.
An alloy for the 5-cent nickel pieces con
taining 75 per cent, of copper and 26 per
cent, of nickel finally was adopted,which Is
the. same as that at present. Since 1863
numerous experiments have been made
with aluminum at the mint. It having been
claimed that an alloy containing 99 per
cent, of silver and one of aluminum would
prevent discoloration of the coins manu
factured from the same, but this was
found not to be true. Tests were also
made at the mint, under the auspices of
tho Academy of Science, of aluminum, but
did not prove satisfactory.
In December last experimental five and
one-cent pieces were struck from pure
nickel and pure aluminum and other al
loys at the mint at Philadelphia.
The pieces struck from pure nickel wers
very hard and difficult to strike. Pure
aluminum was found to bo entirely too
* n fact, all the alloys of aluminum
submitted were virtually condemned.
In his report the secretary states that it
Is not believed that any of the alloys sub
mitted would be an improvement upon the
al.oys now In use. He, however, recom
mends that authority be granted to make
further experiments, with a view to find
ing an alloy that would be an improve
ment upon that used In the manufacture
of the bronze one-cent pieces.
Blanks for the one-cent bronze pieces
cost the government 19.94 cents per pound,
from which 146 cents are struck. The
flve-cent nickel blanks cost 31.94 cents per
pound, the coinage of which makes $4.41.
