Little Hope for the River and
Harbor Bill.
OTHERS. HAVE RIGHT OF. WAY
"Wood Making: a. Peri-Intent Fiffht for
the Indian War Veterans Dill''
Xo Public nujldinsn Ap
propriations. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. With but Ave
days remaining of the session, there Is
little hopo that the river and harbor' bill
can pass. It certainly cannot be consid
ered in conference, and the Senate bill
"would have to be accepted by the House
if It should get through the Senate. Ir
rigation provslons make It very doubtful
If the House would agree to the Senate
amendments. The sundry civil bill and
deficiency bill must yet pass the Senate,
making It very doubtful about getting the
river and harbor bill through the Sen
ate. Senators Interested In the measure
are still hoping that time will be found
for consideration, but a determined fight
is to be made by other Senators as soon
as the bill is brought up.
T. A. Wood Is still very persistent In
his efforts to get the Indian war veterans
bill through. He sought another confer
ence with the speaker, hoping to secure
his consent to recognize the bill, but the
speaker flatly refused, saying that he
could not allow the bill to be considered.
A movement is now on foot to have the
bill made a rider to one of the appropria
tion bills in the Senate, but this cannot
be done. It would be ruled out on a
point of order, besides causing additional
trouble in the House.
It looks as If public building appropria
tions of all sorts will fail at this session.
The Senate committee today revised the
House omnibus bill, trimming It down
considerably, but Senator Allison says he
will absolutely refuse to allow It to be
made a part of any of the appropriation
bills. As a separate measure It cannot
possibly pass. The final bill Increases the
appropriation for Seattle from 5300,000 to
$1,000,000. All efforts to have the Port
land postofQce recognized have failed,
and this provision for this session 1b dead.
WAR TAX REDUCTION.
Republican Conferees Reach, an
Agreement on the BUI.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. A complete
agreement has been reached by the Re
publican conferees on the most important
items of the war revenue reduction bill.
On beer the House wins its contention,
and the Senate yields. The House fixed
a rate of ?1 CO per barrel, without any dis
count, while the Senate retained the old
rate of 52 per barrel, with a 25 per cent
discount. The difference between the two
rates is about 10 cents on the barrel. The
tobacco tax Is compromised. The House
left the tax standing at 12 cents per
pound, as In the existing law, wllile the
Senate reduced it 23 per cent, or to 9 cents
per pound. The compromise provides for
a reduction of 2.40 cents per pound, leav
ing the rate 9.60. The House also comes
out ahead on bank checKs. The House
repealed the entire tax on checks, but the
Senate did not accept this action. The
conferees now concede the House pro
vision. The reduction in the revenue will
be 57.000,000 on account of this action. The
House provision entirely repealing the tar
on proprietary medicines is also accepted.
The Hazing? Amendment.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. The conferees
of the Senate and House have reached an
agreement on the hazing amendment to
the Military Academy bill. Yielding to
the demands of the Senate, they have
eliminated the provision inserted by the
flrst conference at the instance of the
Dick investigating committee, and the
House conferees have agreed to accept
the amendment as originally made by the
Senate with modifications and one addi
tion. The modification limits the time dur
ing which offenders may be kept out of
the Army or Navy to two years, the Sen
ate making it perpetual, and the Marine
Corps is added to the organizations, ap
pointment to which they are rendered
ineligible. The provision as agreed upon
is as follows:
"The superintendent of the Military
Academy shall make such rules, to be ap
proved by the Secretary of War, as will
effectually prevent the practice of haz
ing: and any cadet found guilty of par
ticipating In or encouraging or counte
nancing such practice shall be summarily
expelled from the academy and shall not
thereafter be appointed to the Corps of
Cadets or be eligible for appointment as
a commissioned officer In the Army, Navy,
or Marine Corps until two years after the
graduation of the class of which he was
a member."
The St. L.onIs Fair Appropriation.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Speaker Hen
derson today referred the St. Louis ex
position bill, with the Senate amendments
appropriating $200,000 for the Charleston
exposition and providing for the closing
of the exposition on Sunday, to the spe
cial committee which reported the bill.
The bill has been on the speaker's table
for several days in the hope that It could
be gotten into conference by unanimous
consent. The request made by Tawney at
the close of the session last night to non
concur and send the bill to conference
having been met with an objection from
Shepherd, the speaker, under the rules,
sent the bill to committee. One of the
friends of the bill said the only chance
for the bill seemed to depend upon the
Senate's recalling the bill and striking
out the amendments.
The House committee on the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition met this afternoon
and instructed Chairman Tawney to re
port a disagreement on the Senate amend
ments and ask for a conference. Mr.
Tawney will report at once, but as there
is no assurance that he can secure recog
nition for immediate action, the subject
may have to go on the House calendar
and await its chances.

BRANDED AS AN IMP0STER.
Montana Labor 3Ian "Who Snys He
Will Mpke a FlRUt Aicalnst Clark.
BUTTE, Mont., Feb. 26. Interviews were
given out at various points In the East
by H. P, Knapp, formerly of this state,
saying he was. going to Washington as
representative of the labor party of Mon
tana to fight against the seating of Sen
ator Clark. The ground was that. Senator
Clark has not kept faith regarding his
party's pledge to labor legislation.
Labor leaders aro very indignant at
Knapp's pretensions, and say they have
no fight with Senator Clark. James
Maher, secretary of the Western Feder
ation of Miners, says Knapp's story that
the labor party Is opposed to the seating
of Clark is all rot. Alex Mackel, prin
cipal legal adviser of the labor party,
says he does not even know Knapp. and is
positive he has no standing with the labor
organizations of the state, politically or
otherwise. J, E. McNally, chairman of
the Sliver Bow County Committee of the
labor party, in which capacity he Is the
official head of at least 75 per cent of the
labor party of the state, says that if
Knapp claims to represent the labor par
ty, and goes before any Senatorial com
mittee with such pretenses, he Is an Im
poster. He never heard of Knapp until
he read of the wild yarr-c he has been
circulating In the East.
PRESIDENTIAL GOSSIP.
Indiana .May Be the Battleground
In 11)01.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-A special to the
Post from Washington days:
. Mention of the name of Tom. Johnson, of
Ohio, in connection with the next Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency, has
revived Presidential gossip here, and just
at present Indiana is receiving a great
amount of attention from the prophets.
Senator Charles 'W. Fairbanks has been
much talked of as the Republican nom
inee, and a goodly sized rumor credit
him with having sufficient strength to
land him safely In almost any party po
sition he may eeek. As a companion
piece to the Fairbanks gossip ccmes the
story that Indiana Is likely to be made
the 1901 battleground through the nomina
tion by the Democrats of Samuel E.
Morss, publisher of the Indianapolis Sen
tinel. Already Indiana newspapers are gos
siping about the possibility of two Pres
idential candidates from the state. At the
Kansas City Convention last year, as the
Indiana member of the resolutions com
mittee. Mr. Morse formed the 16-to-l
opposition. But despite his open opposi
tion to the silver element, he supported
the nominee and the ticket personally
and with his newspaper, and because of
this he Is regarded by many Democrats as
a hapy medium between the sliver men
and the gold men who refused to support
the ticket.
Mr. Morss was Consul-General to Parte
during Cleveland's second term. He Is a
man of much culture and wide experience,
is a strong writer and an orator of more
than ordinary ability. Aside from hl. for
eign appointment, he has never held a po
litical office, and has refused nominations
by his party many times.
Just now Mr. Morss Is In Mexico or
Central America, and numerous attempts
to secure from him an expression of opin
ion as to his possible Presidential candi
dacy have failed, and his return to this
country Is awaited with much Interest by
the Indiana Democrats In Congress who
are anxious to know what he will have to
say. t
I'XIOX OF DEMOCRACY.
Ex-Senntor Hill's Letter to the Ala
bama LvFrlKlatnre.
MONTGOMERY. Ala.. Feb. 26. The
Legislature of Alabama, has received a
letter from ex-Senator David B. Hill,
of New York, tendering his thanks fcr
its request for an address from him, and
expressing his regret at being unable to
comply. In part he wrote:
"The reference to political matters con
tained in the resolution leads me to say
that the Democratic party, as the conser
vative force of the country. Is more than
ever essential to the well being and safe
ty of the Republic The Nation is con
fronted at home by corruption and plutoc
racy, and It Is threatened abroad by the
machinations of the enemies of Constitu
tional governments and popular liberty.
It becomes our party as patriots and
Democrats to strengthen our party or
ganization, to unite all elements of oppo
sition to radicalism, to organize for fu
ture contests upon right lines, so as to
make National victories again possible;
to avoid recrimination and to subordinate
all selfish and personal considerations In
the exhibition of a widespread National
and party patriotism.
"We should stand as a solid phalanx
In favor of a strict construction of tho
Federal Constitution, for the preservation
of the reserved rights of the states, for
the maintenance of the Constitutional
currency of our fathers, for a sys
tem of public taxation imposed for
public purpose only, for ecenomy In
all public jexpendltures and for the su
premacy of the Constitution with all Its
guarantees over every portion of our Na
tional Jurisdiction, and we should resist
by every honorable means In our power
the Republican efforts to fasten upon our
country the evils of militarism the
wrongs Involved In the diversion or pub
lic moneys In the shape of Congressional
subsidies, the tendencies toward centrali
zation of power and the substitution of
Imperialism for the plain and simple the
ories of Democratic government. Upon all
these Issues the Democratic party Is
right, and sooner or later the right will
surely prevail."

SENATE MAY VOTE TODAY
ON ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
AND AMENDMENTS,
Philippine Question Vigorously De
bated During: the Long; Session'
Question of Leasing Lands.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. An Important
amendment to the Philippine amendment
to tho Army appropriation 'bill was agreed
to in the Senate today. It was an am
plification of the amendment previously
offered by Hoar, laying restrictions upon
the sale of public lands and the granting
of franchises and concessions" in the Phil
ippines. It was accepted by tho commit
tee In charge of the measure and Is now
a part of the committee amendment. Mor
gan continued his speech begun yesterday
and occupied the floor during the greater
part of the day. He concluded his ad
dress just before the afternoon recess,
after having discussed comprehensively
both the Philippine and Cuban amend
ments. He appealed to the committee to
withdraw both propositions, maintaining
that Congress was treading upon danger
ous ground, and trifling with edged tools
In acting upon them without ample con
sideration. During the afternoon Allen
obtained the floor from Morgan and se
verely arraigned Rear-Admiral Sampson
for some indorsements he Is alleged to
have made upon an application of Chief
Gunner Morgan of the Navy for promo
tion to the grade of Ensign. Allen's de
nunciation of Admiral Sampson was sen
sational. During the day the conference
report upon the District of Columbia ap
propriation bill was agreed to, as was also
a partial report of the conferees on the
postofllce appropriation bill.
Soon after the Senate convened, a bill
to supplement the existing law as to the
disposition of public lands was passed. It
provides for the division of lands In Okla
homa into counties for the establishment
of county seats, for the erection of Court
houses and for the appointment of tem
porary county officials.
Allison called up the conference report
on the. District of Columbia appropriation
bill. The report was agreed to.
A resolution, offered by Fairbanks, call
ing upon the Secretary of War for an
English translation of the Cuban consti
tution, was adopted.
Pettlgrew's resolution coming over from
a previous day, calling upon the President
to inform the Senate whether all tele
grams from Manila prior to February 4,
1S99, were subjected to consorshlp; and
also to send to the Senate a copy of the
telegram of General Otis announcing the
commencement of hostilities, the hour It
was filed In Manila and some other col
lateral Information, was agreed to with
out comment.
The resolution of Morgan, coming over
from yesterday, declaring the Nlcarau
guan Canal bill the unfinished business of
the Senate, was called up. After Morgan
had made a brief statement regarding the
parliamentary phases of the question, in
the course of which he said he knew the
enemies of the Nicaragua bill would em
ploy every device to kill the measure, the
resolution, on his motion, was referred to
the committee on rules.
The early part of the session was de
voted largely to an effort on the part of
the leading Senators on both sides to se
cure a modification of the Philippine
amendment to the Army appropriation bill
which would render It possible to secure a
vote upon It. After several conferences,
an agreement was reached which was
found to be satisfactory to a large ma
jority of Senators. The amendment to tho
original provision yesterday Introduced by
Hoar was used as the basis of discus
sion, but various additions were made to
It so that when he again offered it In the
Senate, It was presented as a proviso and
read as follows:
"Provided, that no sale or lease oriother
disposition of the Philippine Islands or
the timber thereon or the mining rights
therein shall be made: and provided fur
ther, that no franchise shall be granted
which Is not approved by the President
of tho United States and Is not. In his
judgment, clearly necessary to the Islands
and Indispensable for the Interest of the
people thereof and which cannot, without
great public mischief, be placed until the
establishment of permanent civil govern
ment and all such franchises shall term
inate one year after the establishment
of such permanent civil government."
Morgan. Rawlins. Tillman and Bacon,
who had been among the most determined
opponents of the original provision, were
all ' consulted concerning the amendment
and all of them, except Morgan, Indi
cated a willingness to let the amendment
go through after reasonable debate. Mor
gan did not commit himself. The Demo
cratic acquiescence does not go to the,
extent of agreeing to support the entire
Philippine provision, but only to the
point of allowing It to reach the voting
stage. The Republicans, without excep
tion, nccept the modification of the
amendment.
Pettlgrew directed attention to the fact
that the document containing the Instruc
tions and papers sent to the Paris Peace
Commission did not contain the one tele
gram to the commission that he consid
ered Important and remarkable. The tele
gram instructed the commission not to
l05e sight of the fact that the war wih
Spain was wnged In obedience to the dic
tates of humanity and with no design of
aggrandizement or ambition of conquest.
Pettlgrew read the document containing
the Instructions, saying that the Instruc
tions were "of a high-toned order," but he
desired to Illustrate the complete mental
somersault of the President on the Phil
ippine questhlon.
The resolution offered by Pettlgrew to
reprint the document with the telegram
he had read was referred to the commit
tee on the Philippines.
A bill was passed for the relief of per
sons for property taken from them by
the military forces of the United States.
The bill provides for the payment for
horses taken from Confederate soldiers
after the surrender of General Lee.
Consideration of the Army appropria
tion bill was resumed, Morgan "being en
titled to the floor to continue 'his speech
begun yesterday. Hoar asked Morgan
to yield briefly to him, that ho might
present a draft of the amendment offered
relating to the restriction upon the sale
of public lands In the Philippines and the
granting of franchises that were not in
dispensable to the proper development of
the islands. Lodge, chairman of the
Philippine committee, on behalf of the
committee, accepted it.
Bacon said he could see no reason ? why
the Senate should not go as far as It
went in the Porto Rican bill and provide
that all franchises should be ratified by
Congress.
Morgan, after the amendment had been
read. Insisted on proceeding with his
speech, saying It was evident that the
Senators disagreed as to the wisdom of
the adoption of the amendment at the
present time. He said his attentiqn had
been directed to a statement In a morn
ing newspaper to the effect that Demo
cratic members of the Senate had reached
an agreement that no vote should be had
on the pending proposition before March
4. This statement he denied, emphatic
ally. He did not know why such a fabri
cation had been indulged In. as there not
only had been no agreement of the kind,
but there had not been even a sugges
tion that the vote be postponed. Per
sonalis", he would not occupy a minute's
time that he did not deem necessary to a
proper elucidation of the question.
Foraker, chairman of the committee
on Pacific islands and Porto Rico, inter
rupted Morgan to present a conference re
port upon "an act to carry into effect
the stipulations of article 7 of the treaty
between the United States' and Spain."
The report went over until tomorrow.
Wolcott presented a conference report
on the postoffice appropriation bill. He
explained that the conference committee
had agreed upon the 11 points of difference
between the two branches, with the ex
ception of two. Both , of these amend-
1 ments -were offered by Butler. The flrst
was a provision appropriating $20,000 to
make the experiment of establishing re
positories or mall boxes in which mall
matter may be placed In towns or vil
lages which do not enjoy the privilege of
free delivery of mall, duplicate keys to
the repositories being held by the resi
dents. The second point of difference was
the Senate amendment directing the Postmaster-General
to Investigate the ques
tion of establishing a postal telegraph
system. Wolcott inquired whether the
conferees should recede from, the amend
ments or further Insist upon them. The
Senate further insisted and they were re
turned to conference.
When consideration of the Army ap
propriation bill was resumed, Morgan
yielded tho floor temporarily to Allen. Af
ter saying that he was satified the Philip
pine amendment and the Cuban amend
ment to. the pending bill were unconstitu
tional, and objecting to the conferring of
such extraordinary power upon the Presi
dent, Allen read a letter purporting to
have been sent by Chief Gunner Charles
Morgan, of the Navy, to Rear Admiral
William T. Sampson, requesting him to
forward to the Navy Department his ap
plication for promotion to the rank of En
sign, under a provision of the pending
naval appropriation bill. Ho also read
the indorsement of Admiral Sampson upon
the application of Gunner Morgan, in the
course of which the Admiral is reported
a,s saying, in brief, that while he recog
nized Gunner Morgan's technical and pro
fessional ability, he was opposed to ap
pointing warrant officers to the grade of
Ensign because they had not enjoyed
the social advantage which Admiral Samp
son held a commissioned officer of the
Navy should have enjoyed so that he
might represent properly his country In
foreign countries particularly. The In
dorsement of Admiral Sampson expressed
the Admiral's hope that the Secretary of
the Navy would not find It necessary to
recommend the promotion of warrant of
ficers of the Navy to the rank of com
missioned officers. He said the indorse
ment proved beyond a shadow of doubt
that there was "a snobbish aristocracy
In the Navy that Is detrimental to the
country and a disgrace to the country,
represented by this officer and other like
officers."
"If Admiral Sampson Is the author of
those Indorsements." declared Allen, with
vehemence, "he Is a conceited ass, and
he ought to be marked down' as such. We
are not bringing up In this country a race
of snobs. If I am correctly Informed,
there was a time when Sampson was no
better than Charles Morgan, the gunner.
He came from no better stock, t am glad
to repeat that we are not raising In the
United States "a class of bejeweled aristo
crats. If this ank and arrant coward Is
to be bellercd,?the time may never come
In this country: When a poor boy. may at
tain to such apposition as his abilities
warrant him hoWlng."
As Morgan TOSeVto resume his speech, Al
len remarked: "I want, to say to Sampson
and to his friends that I am responsible
for what I say."
Chandler appealed to-Morgan to yield
briefly to him that he might reply to Al
len, but as several .Senators, among them
Teller, Pettlgrew and Stew-art, announced
their desire to reply to Chandler. Morgan
declined to accede to Chandler's appeal.
Continuing his address. Morgan reached
the Cuban amendment, which he declared
was a "legislative ultimatum." Morgan
Insisted that Cuba never could and never
would accept the terms imposed by tho
Government, and this Government had no
right to demand that she should accept
them, since she "cannot accept them and
preserve at the same .time her dignity
as a sovereign and independent nation."
Morgan referred to what he said was
the popular feeling In Cuba against the
United States. He had communications
from Cuban officials as early as February".
1SS9, Indicating a feeling against the Gov
ernment and the people of the United
States of absolute lrrecongillblllty, unless
this Government should withdraw from
the Island. He said he had In his pos
session papers which he would be glad to
present to the Senate at' some time In
secret legislative session. He desired to
preserve the secrecy of the documents, be
causejie did not think the time ripe for
their publication. They showeo' the sltua-'
tlon to be as, he had indicated it. We
were deceiving ourselves, he said. If we
should expect to find In Cuba a set of
men not determined upon having their
own way and their own Independence. In
conclusion Morgan said the solution of the
present difficulty was to arrange for ab
solute free trade between the United
States and Cuba and enable the Cubans
to establish a free and Independent gov
ernment unhampered by anybody. After
a trial of such government, he said, he
believed they would realize ",that their
best home for liberty and Independence
after all was In the United States.
Tributes were paid to the memory of
the late Representative Frank G. Clark,
of New Hampshire, and then, at 6:22 P.
M., as a further mark of respect, the
Senate took a recess until 8 o'clock.
At the night session consideration of
the Army appropriation bill was resumed,
the pending question being Vest's amend
ment to the Philippine amendment, pro
viding that "no Judgment, order or act,
by any of said officials so appointed, shall
conflict with the constitution and laws of
the United States."
Stewart addressed the Senate in support
of his amendment to create a Supreme
Court in the Philippines, with a Chief
Justice, at a salary of 525,000 a year, and
four associate Justices at $20,000 a year,
claiming that only through such n court
could Justice be secured In the islands.
At the conclusion of Stewart's speech
Foraker called up the conference, report
of the bill creating a commission for the
adjustment of Cuban claims under. article
7 of the treaty of Paris. After a pro-(
longed discussion upon a constitutional'
question Involved In the report, It went
over until tomorrow.
In the course of his remarks upon the
establishment of the Philippine judiciary,
Stewart referred to the "scandal"
attaching to the judiciary In the Nome
district Ip Alaska. Referring to this
statement. Hansbrough said that some of
Stewart's remarks had applied to Judge
Arthur H. Noyes, of the Cape Nome dlsj
jtrict. Hansbrough read a letter from
Judge Noyes In which the latter said
that" all the gold dust which had "ever
been In Becelver McKcnzIe's hands had
been safely deposited to be held until
the final disposition of the case against
MacKenzle. Judge Noyes a.lso said that
he had received many offers of money,
but that the "only offers I have received
have been offers to do something In favor
of the gang that Is trying to destroy me."
Continuing, Hansbrough said there had
been strenuous efforts to have Judge
Noyes removed, but that tliese efforts
were all In the Interest of the corrupt
element. He had statements read show
ing that bribes of various sums ranging
as high as 525,000 had been offered to the
Judge and that his life had been threat
ened. Replying, Stewart said that he did not
Intend that Judge Noyes should be whit
washed In the Senate. Ho then read a
statement of Noyes' in connection with
Receiver MacKenzle, claiming that the
'two men had traveled In Alaska together
and almost Immediately after their ar
rival MacKenzle had received his ap
pointment. The Judge had even made the
appointment before the papers In the
case had been filed, and Injunctions had
been granted without bonds. Stewart
said he considered the record a terrible
ono and his offense deserving of impeach
ment. He did not think anyone should
apologize for Judge Noyes.
While"" Stewart was talking, there
were numerous calls for the regular or
der, but Stewart declared that he would
not be taken off his feet. "I listen to
no appeal,' he said, "to conceal the In
famy of Nome."
Pettlgrew defended Judge Noyes as the
peer of any -man on the bench and as
capable and honest. He had known
Noyes for many years, as he had also
MacKenzle. He. also declared that Mac
Kenzle was a man of character. He be
lieved that his prosecution had been the
'result of bribery. The proceeding he
characterized as one unheard of and one
that ought to bring the San Francisco
court Into contempt all over the country.
No matter what the San Francisco court

from patent medicines. It Is a prescrip
tion which Is put within the reach of
every man and woman In the civilized
world the prescription of the greatest
of American physicians the crowning
result of his years of study and expe
rience. It is the wonderful prescription
of Professor Edward E. Phelps, M. D.,
LLD of Dartmouth College.
The following letter from Bishop
says, the good character of those men
could not be destroyed.
Shoup, In charge of the bill, made an
effort to get a time fixed for taking a
vote tonight upon the army appropria
tion bill, but Teller declared that to be
Impossible.
Turner then entered upon an extended
discussion of the Philippine amendment.
He declared, after protesting against
bringing Into the Senate such a propo
sition at so late an hour in the session,
that If he possessed the physical and
mental power to discuss the question un
til the advocates of the amendment should
withdraw It In order that the usual bus
iness of the country might be trans
acted, ho would do so, but he had not.
he said, and, therefore, would discuss
some phases of the question as sufficiently
as possible. He particularly attacked the
delegation of power, which, to his mind,
was purely Congressional, upon the Pres
ident. At 11 o'clock, after Turner had been
speaking for an hour and 10 minutes, he
yielded to Heltfeld, who moved that the
Senate adjourn. The motion was reject
ed, 6 to 47, Allen, Bate, Culberson, Har
ris, Pettus and Turley only voting In
the affirmative. Aldrlch, In order, as he
said, that the session should not be pro
longed unduly, appealed to the Senators
on tho Democratic side of the chamber
to permit an hour to be fixed for a final
vote upon the amendments and the pend
ing bill. He suggested 2 o'clock tomor
row. Jones of Arkansas said he knew of two
or three Senators who desired to speak,
and did not think It would be desirable
novt to set a time for a final vote. He
thought there would be no difficulty In
getting .i vote some time tomorrow, but
he doubted whether consent now could
be obtained to vote at any particular
hour. Hale and Aldrlch deemed Jones'
statement entirely reasonable. Pettl
grew thpught the Senate ought to con
tinue the debate. He declared that the
minority ought not to grant to the Pres
ident the Imperial power which was con
ferred upon him by the Philippine amend
ment. Personally he did not feel phys
ically able to debate the measure along
for any great length of time, but he be
lieved It ought to be debated, let the
consequences be what they might.
At 11:15 o'clock, on motion of Carter,
the Senate went Into executive session,
and at 11:20 P. M. adjourned. At the
close of the night session, the Indications
were that a vote might be reached upon
the Army appropriation bill and amend
ments tomorrow. It seems likely that
no further serious opposition will be en
countered, although no definite agree
ment for a vote had been reached.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26. Richard Croker,
according to a Wantage, England, dis
patch to the Journal and Advertiser, has
dictated and revised a statement In which
he says:

from a nominal head Is very likely to

Bishop of Burlin
Mlchaud, one of the ablest priests In the
Roman "Catholic Church of this country,
tells on Its face of his kind-hearted de

breathes a sincerity that can leave no
doubt In any one's mind of the greatest
superiority of Palne's Celery Compound
over all tho so-called remedies that have
recently been clamoring for attention by
adroit and showy advertisements:
Wells & Richardson Co.,
Gentlemen: I have been asked why 1
recommended Palne's Celery Compound,
and I desire to put on record frankly
my reasons for this Indorsement, hop
ing that my words may inspire those
readers who need health and strength
with faith to try Palne's Celery Com
pound and prove to themselves Its worth.
At the Fanny Allen Hospital, an Insti
tution In which I am deeply Interested,
Palne's Celery' Compound has been used
successfully.

some, and while It Is true that Devery
and Murphy both have been rivals, every
olllce-seeker cannot be accommodated.
There is no reason for changing Deyery
from a superior to an inferior position,
except to appease public clamor."

LICK OBSERVATORY, Cal., Feb. 26.
Astronomer W. W. Campbell furnishes
the following:
"The new star In Perseus has diminished
In brightness about one-fifth of a magni
tude In the past 21 hours. A careful study
of the red, orange, yellow and green re
gions of its spectrum has been made,
leading to many results of great technical
Interest of which a few may be men
tioned. Pressure of hydrogen In the star
Is shown by the broad bright bands of
that element. The orange line of helium
Is dark. The orange sodium lines are
dark and extremely narrow and the fact
that they occupy this usual position shows
that the star's distance from the earth
Is not changing rapidly."

rely upon Palne's Celery Compound as
a tonic and strength-giver.
In my .own household, jone of the do
mestics has taken Palne's Celery Com
pound for liver trouble of long stand
ing, and says: "It has done more good
than any other medicine."
Several priests have spoken to me in
praise of this remedy, and I believe it
has the confidence of my associates.
Even did I not know from personal
observation of the worth of Palne's
Celery Compound, I should feel likw
praising It for the simple reason that It
Is prepared by the Wells & Richardson
Co., a firm whose members I have
known for nearly a yu'arter of a cen
tury, and In whom I have perfect con
fidence. Very truly.

There Is no household In the land that
can honestly afford to be without this
remedy. It is a simple matter to test
its astonishing efficacy.
