If the urgent deficiency bill, which the committee Is now working upon, shall be ready to report to the house when It meets on Tuesday Chairman Sayres says he will present It then and urge Imme diate consideration. It Is believed that such a request will be seconded by the house and the pooling bill will be laid aside. But If the appropriation bill shall not be ready, a vote on the pooling bill may be taken Tuesday, and the general opinion is that It will pass, possibly so amended as to give the Interstate com merce commission Anal Jurisdiction of the proposed contracts between companies Tomorrow, under the rules, is to be de voted to the consideration of affairs of the District of Columbia, and unless the rules are suspended, as they frequently have been on like occasions, local legis lation for Washington city will be taken up. Mr. O’Neill (Democrat) of Massachu setts has announced his Intention to call up Wednesday the pension appropriation bill for 1896-96. This will evoke discus sion of the ponslon policy of »..*e admin istration and may occupy the time of the house for more than a day. in* that case It will meet the antagonism of Mr. Brown (Democrat) of Indiana, chairman of the committee on elections, who will Thursday ask consideration of the* Y.il- Uams-Settle contested election case from the Fifth North Carolina district, which came over by agreement from last ces- slon. The committee’s report favors thr sitting member, Bottle, who Is a Republi can. Contested election cases are mat ters of highest privilege and it has been the custom or the house to take them up when called for by the committee, so that if the pension bill Is not previously disposed of It will probably have to yield the right of way for the time being.

Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 9.—Still an other confession has been made In the Catherine Glng murer case. ■ It has been the theory of the police that C. A. Bltxt, tho engineer of the Ozark flats, where both Miss ding and Hayward resided, committed the murder at the Instigation of Hayward. Today Bltxt broke down and made a complete confesslon.ln which he charges Harry Haywward with com mitting the murder. According to hts story, he was sent by Hayward to the scene of the murder. Hardly had he ar rived there when Hayward drove up with Miss Glng. When within fifty feet of him tho shots were fired and Hayward alighted from the buggy. "The deed Is done," he said. "Get In and drive It around until it Is dead and then dump it out." Bltxt took Hayward's place In the bug gy and drove along the road for « mile until he became satisfied that Miss Glng was dead. Then t he drove back, and when near the place where the murder was committed he rolled the body in the robe and drove the horse about a mile until he -reached the Lyndate avenue car line. Then he turned the animal loose and rode tn a car down town. The horse went directly to the stable and this was the first Intimation any one received that anything wa* wrong. The murder, ac cording to Btlxt, was committed shortly after 7 o'clock, and as soon as he got into the buggy Hayward walked to the Hennepin avenue car line and then‘took the daughter of a prominent lawyer to the theatre. , Bltxt claims that the murder wa* orig inally fixed for the preceding Sunday night, but circumstances were such that it had to be abandoned. Hayward was to "slug" Miss Glng with a piece of rail road Iron which Bltxt had provided, the body was to have been thrown out near the curb at a street corner, the horse turned loose and the buggy wrecked for the purpose of giving color to the theory that the woman was killed In a runaway accident. This plan, so Btlxt says, could not be carried' out successfully and It was decided to shoot her. Bltxt tells of several other Jobs f.-hlch had been proposed by Hayward, hut which fell through, and says that after this Job. for which ho was to receive 12,000 and one-fifth of the life Insurance Involved, ha waa to receive $400 for “doing" a Chicago man.

C. Flower has cured or I* curing them, and that he told thorn lite r disease without ask ing a question. "The physician who took Antonio Casenero, the Cuban prince, and bis wife to see Dr. R. C. Flower in 1883, deser bed to me the first interview be tween Dr. Flower nnd the prince's fe: '.You need not tell mo anything,’ •aid the doctor as he took the woman's hand In his and looked directly into her eyes for a minute. 'It * my opinion,' said the dodtor slowly, ‘that you were bftton by a vicious cat some years ago and anno very near losing your lifo from the Injury’- Shortly after this oc curred you roco’ved a blow on your left breast. Soon a lump appeared. This in time was pronounced a cancer and yob had It cut out. It soon returned With tour or flvo other growths, and are under the amt. You have bad at least Cwo, and I believe three opera tions. Your case is now oinsldercd by phjnt'dsor generally as Incurable.’ •You are right In every particular,' arid tflo woman, ‘but for God's sake how did you know these things?’ ‘Never mind how I know them. I geo yen now have seven or eight growths coming n the breast around the edges where ibo operations were performed and two under the arm. Your disease has now reached a state where you are In constant suffering.' Without delay the doctor filled a hypodermic needle whit * mixture of laches's, perman ganate of potash, thymol and refined green tincture of sttufnger, and made an lnjdottoo Into each growth. These Infections he reapeated every third day for three week*, when every trace of tho cancerous growths were gone. He treated tho system constitu tionally for eight month* from which time Mr*. Caoeaero has enjoyed per fect health. The minister to the Unit’d State* from one of the leading South Ameri can republics told my worthy friend on the loft that he believed Dr. R. C. Flower of Boston wa* Inspired of God to cure the sick wfzcn alt other effort* failed; that he and hi* family were pa- Uenta of Dr. R. C. Flower, and hi* treatment of their core* was mtracu lots. I hold In my band a. letter from the late ex-Governor Bishop of Ohio, In which he says: "If mireoien have ever been performed tn modem time* then Df. R. C. Flower of Boston perform* them dally. I have seen him examine scores of patient* without asking a question and tell each one In detail his trouble. I have seen men and wo men etek unto death with cancer* *nd tumors, after given up by tha leading medical skill of this country; cured by. Dr. R. C. Flower In it short time with- out the knife, without pi In and with out bkxvl. I have serai the um» won derful cures of paralysis, rheumatism, hem and nerve troubles.” The gov ernor ctanes thin letter by saying- "There, .are several brothers In the Flow»r family, whose five* are full of prot. :e.

For, as aome of you know, the doctor was educated tor Jtw, practloed mveital yekers, lost hia voloe, went Into Ithe practice of medicine, and has never been able to quit It. It was in 1874 (twenty yatrn ago) tbeMi Dr. R. C. Flower, not ti precttdng physician then, wu« csfied to Mobile to (Mend a man under arrest abarged wlch arson. After a desperate ly fcmrgt.Tt case he succeeded ln ticqutt- ting this client. On tit* return nortth nt a ItttJo stooton south of Franklin, Ten., a mob of Infuriated men »ur- rouOded tlhe sheriff, who was endeavor ing to get a negro oil to* hum. A tGourand men. many of them wltu mask* over Chrir faces, cried out: - 'HANG HIM! HANG OEM!’ A rope waa Bhrown around hts neck, and In another moment he would huvo been Swlngrrrg from a limb, when R. C» Flower, moving Ms hand, cried out from the rear platform: 'Gentlemen, hair 'me betore jrou Jxmg this ram. You are Southern men. and I am Kind ns such 40 addres* you. This gr.-.it crowd is repreaenlot by soldiers who u few yclvrs ago wore tho Knuy end the blue. Your record* were th>»e of courage, of diring and \ttlor.

I beg you. take Its course. You will feel better as you think it over; better when you go to your bed* tonight and better In the at. lence of your tut night on earth." At this the leader of the mob cried out as he threw the rope down: "I reckon you are right, young man: wo will let tho law tukee It* couree," and tho sheriff hustled tho frightened negro Into the Jail.
