Inspection Conference. .
WASHINGTON, Juns 27. The Senate
was in open session for about five hours
and a half today, and, notwithstanding
the session began with a rollcall in order
to assure a quorum, the day was crowded
with business of Importance, including the
announcement by Senator Proctor, chair
man of the Senate committee on agricul
ture, of a deadlock in conference on the
meat inspection provision of the agricul
tural appropriation bill; a reply by Sena
tor Bailey to the recent attack upon him
in the Cosmopolitan Magazine; the pas
sage of the naturalization bill; the con
tinuance of Senator La Follette's effort

TOO BUSY FOR REVISION.
Senator Warren Says Country Is Too
Prosperous to Think of Tariff.
WASHTKflTON. June 27. Senator War
ren made a speech in the Senate today
on his resolution calling on the Director
of the Census for a statement covering
the extent of the livestock industry of the
United States and of the foreign business
In this country in leather and raw ma
terial. He cited the recent agitation con
cerning this industry as his reason for
seeking the information. He confidently
asserted that the statement would show
an astonishing increase and that the prod
uct is not less than 2,OW,0UO.uuu annually,
more than the value of all the gold pro
duced by the United States in the entire
history of the country.
Warren pronounced as unjust and self
ish the demand made by the manufac
turers for free hides. He said that while
the livestock men do not envy Massa
chusetts Its prosperity they do not desire
to add to it by taking the duty off of
hides and wool, and closed an appeal for
the continuance of the tariff.
"We are," he said, "too busy, too well
employed, too well paid for our labor, too
prosperous to think seriously of tariff re
vision in the year of our Lord, 1906."
BACON SURPRISES THE SENATE
Democratic Opponent Moves for Vote
on Dominican Treaty.
WASHINGTON, June 27. Taking the
Administration Senators completely by
surprise. Senator Bacon, In executive ses
sion of the Senate today; moved that the
Senate agree to vote on the Santo Do
mingo treaty December 17 at the next ses
sion of Congress. This Is the treaty
under which the United States undertakes
to collect and disburse the customs of the
Dominican republic for the payment of its
debts. Efforts extending through the
session of Congress have been made by
the Republican Senators to ratify the
treaty, but Democratic opposition has pre
vented.
The motion in executive session, com
ing from a Democrat who has been one
of the chief opponents of the measure,
confounded the Republican Senators. Sen
ator Bacon's manner indicated his belief
that the treaty would be rejected if
brought to a vote. The question went
over until tomorrow.
PASSES ARE TO BE LIMITED
Rate Bll Conference Will Also Report
Pipe-lilne Amendment.
WASHINGTON, June 27. The confer
ence on the railroad rate bill tonight re
sulted In no agreement on that measure.
The discussion made it clear that the pass
provision, which 19 to be perfected for
the action of the committee tomorrow
morning, will follow closely the lines of
the original Senate amendment on that
subject. It will name certain classes of
persons who may receive passes and ex
clude all others.
There is also ground for the prediction
that the 'pipe-line amendment will be re
ported exactly as it was in the last con
ference report; that la, the phrase, "com
mon carriers," will give place to the
word "railroads." The effect of this will
be to permit pipe lines to transport the
product owned by the owners of the pipe
line.
Before discussing the two disputed
amendments it was decided that the for
mer agreement as to all other potnts In
dispute should stand. This was the first
meeting since the rejection of the con
ference report by the Senate on account
of the pass amendment and the- provision
relating to pipe, lines. i - .

Democrats at First Seem Opposed to
Amendment, but on the Vote
Only a Few Are Record
, ed Against It.
WASHINGTON.. June 27. The general
deficiency bill, the last of the big money
measures, passed the House at 6 o'clock to
day, with few changes In the bill. Several
items were inserted, due to late informa
tion of deficiencies in the departments,

ate bill providing for a lock type of canal
and the adoption of the Item In the gen
eral deficiency bill ratifying and legaliz
ing the duties collected during President
McKinley's term from imports from the
Philippine Islands.
Early In the day It looked as if the
Democrats would line up solidly against
the amendment, which was put back In
the bill under a rule, but under the lead
of James of Kentucky, the opposition
melted away, and few Democratic votes
were cast against It on its final passage.
At 6 o'clock the House took a recess

AMENDMENT REPLACED IN BILL
Philippine Tariff Duties Paid for
Establishing Island Government.
WASHINGTON, June 27. Previous to

)
Frank 3. Gethro.
Frank J. Gethro, who was ex
pelled from the Massachusetts House
of Representatives for alleged com
plicity In the bucket-shop bill bri
bery scandal, threatens to spring a
sensation and Involve many of nls
colleagues in his own downfall. He
is threatened with Indictment by the
July grand jury. The facts of the
scandal have been laid before the
Boston District Attorney, who will
make a complete investigation.
Gethro intimates that in return
for the action of the Republican ma
jority In making a scapegoat of
him, he will tell things that will se
cure the Indictment of a large
batch of State Representatives, near
ly all Republicans.
affecting the amendment to the bill rati
fying the tariff duties on exports and im
ports in the Philippine Islands at the
close of the Spanish-American War, which
went out of the bill yesterday on a point
of order. The rule offered by Dalzell
places the amendment again in the bill.
The previous question having been or
dered, Dalzell explained the reasons for
the legislation. He said that claims had
been filed amounting to some $3,000,000,
and there was the necessity of ratifying
and legalizing the tariff duties levied dur
ing the Presidency, of Mr. McKinley and
prior to 1902. ...
"If this legislation is enacted," said
Sullivan of Massachusetts, "It will not
only scandalize the American people but
will be looked upon as a scandal by every
civilized country.
"We are asked by the Judgment of the
rule to nullify a decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in two cases,
and it will nullify act 5 of the Constitu
tion, that the property of any Individual
shall not be taken without due process
of law."
The need of this legislation is explained
In a letter of Secretary Taft, which stated
that the duties collected between April
11, 1899, the date of the ratification of the
treaty of cession, and March 8. 1902, it Is
estimated, aggregated $15,000,000 in gold.
This sum was expended in furnishing a
government for Manila and the islands
and in public Improvements. It was paid
chiefly, the Secretary said, by large im
porters and exporters, who sold their
goods at profitable prices, Including the
duties paid, and who enjoyed the benefit
and protection of the Government. "
"The money paid as dues," says Secre
tary Taft, "never came into the Treas
ury . of the United States at all." - The
rule was adopted, ayes 151, noes 82.
The House then went Into committee
of the whole for the further consideration
of -the general deficiency bill. An amend
ment was adopted appropriating $395,200
for lighthouses, for signals and other aids
to commerce.
The payment of attorneys' fees in the
Judgment of the Court of Claims, affirmed
by the Supreme Court In the case of the
Cherokee Nation, the Eastern Cherokees
and the Eastern and Emigrant CheroEees
against the United States, was attacked
by Miller of Kansas, James of Kentucky
and Campbell ana Keeder of Kansas.
Among the attorneys who will receive
proportions of the 15 per cent are ex-Senators
Marion Butler and J. K. Jones and
Mrs. Belva Lockwood, to whom is para
outright $18,000. The committee refused to
make a change-in the item as carried in
the bill.
The amendment relating to the' duties
collected on exports and imports in the
Philippines after the Spanish-American
War was -then adopted and the general
deficiency bill passed.
Eight-Hour Bill Report Favorable.
WASHINGTON. June 27. Chairman
Gardner, of the House committee on la
bor, today filed a favorable report of the
eight-hour bill. It Is not expected that
the measure will receive the consideration
of the House this session. The report. In
the main, is a reprint of the previous re-:
port of the same bill.
The House has adopted a rule which
will place in the general deficiency bill
the amendment legalizing the collection
of duties In the Philippines between the
date of the peace treaty and March 2, 1902.
This meets the adverse decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States in the
Warner-Barnes case.
The conferees today agreed to the Im
munity bill, the House members accepting
the bill as it passed the Senate.
MEAT INSPECTION DEADLOCK
House Win Not Accept Any Compro
mise Offered.
WASHINGTON, June 27. An absolute
deadlock on the meat Inspection amend
ment to the agricultural appropriation bill
was reported by Senator Proctor to the
Senate late today, after three sessions of
the conferees had been held. The Vermont
Senator said that the House conferees had
declined to consider any compromise on
the subject of the paying of the cost ol
inspection by the packers.
The Senate conferees offered to compro
mise, he said, upon a tax of 6 cents a head
on cattle and 3 cents on hogs, sheep
and goats, to be collected and paid Into
the treasury, the same as any other reve
nue. He read the compromise proposi
tion, showing that the $3,000,000 appropria
tion provided by the House woud remain
in the bill, and the cost of inspection
would be paid therefrom. In reply to a
question from Senator Hale, he stated the
tax would amount to about one-nair or
the appropriation.
The third conference of the day had
been concluded a short time before Sena
tor Proctor made his statement. At the
conference he offered the compromise
proposition, which was met by the House
conferees with an argument that it wouia
be unconstitutional, on the ground that
Congress has no authority to levy a direct
tax upon chattels.
In making his statement. Senator Proc
tor said the conferees had agreed on
practically all Items, but that the Housw
conferees- had positively refused to -con
sider any compromise. He then related
the particulars of the provision regarding
the cost of inspection, and added that the
House conferees had absolutely aecnnea
to sIeti the report unless the House pro
vision should be accepted letter for letter.
He said the effect of the position taken by
tho House would be to. cause the failure
of the legislation and the general arrest
of business.
Hale then snoke of the gravity of the
situation and advised that tie Senate re.
frain from further comment that mlgnt
excite feeling. .
"My impression is that we will do well
to leave It over night, where It Is, and
that we should do nothing to tnname tne
situation, in the hope that better coun
sels will prevail tomorrow."
Hale then. In pursuance or nis sugges
tion to let the matter lie over, moved an
adjournment, but he withdrew the motion
in order to permit the executive session.
TARIFF DEBATE IN HOUSE.
Clark, of Missouri, and Grosvenor
Discuss Cummins' Remarks.
WASHINGTON, June 27. The House
was in session for three hours tonight,
the speeches taking a wide political
range, though the pending bill was the
customs administrative act. General
Grosvenor, of Ohio, delivered a tariff
"stand-pat" speech, and in a colloquy
with Clark of Missouri, suggested that
there were "a number of very able
men and a good'many editorial repre
sentatives abroad in the land who favor
revision of the tariff."
"It has got to be a kind of song
that is sung," he said. "We hear It
echoing from the plains of Iowa, where
self-seeking politicians are seeking to
ride Into power upon a mere ill-defined
proposition that no man apparently yet
understands."
Clark asked If it was not a fact that
the majority of the Republicans In Iowa
have declared for Cummins for Gov
ernor for re-election for a third term
as a tariff-revision candidate. Grosve
nor replied:
"I do not know that he Is to be nom
inated as a revisionist."
Watson of Indiana and Lacey of Iowa
suggested that Governor Cummins had
said nothing in regard to the tariff this
year. Clark retorted that last Novem
ber Cummins said: "All the robberies
committed by all the life insurance
companies In all time did not equal one
fifth of the robberies inflicted by the
Dingley bill In one year." Grosvenor
replied:
"Any man who will say that is un
worthy of the confidence of one Ameri
can citizen, let alone the majority of
the states. Such a man as that is a
false llbeler of every decent aspiration
of American cltlzensnip.
Grosvenor said that Governor Cum
mins had "eschewed the tariff question
during the last six weeks of the cam
paign." 'When the Iowa Republican conven
tion, which meets in August," he added,
"adopts an expression in favor of a re
vision of the tariff, without qualifica
tion, it will be time enough for the gen
tleman from Missouri to get happy, and
not till then."
At 11 P. M. the House adjourned till
11 o'clock tomorrow morning. ;

I0E SEES A THREAT
Philippine- Governor Replies
Sharply to Archbishop.
LAND IS IN DISPUTE
Property Occupied by the Troops
During the War Is Claimed by
the Catholic Church on
Transfer From Friars.
MANILA, June 28. The publication in
the United States of the letter of Arch
bishop Harty of February 27 to Governor
General Ide concerning the submission to
the courts of the question of the title of
the San Juan de Dios property led Gover
nor Ide to give out his reply to Arch
bishop Harty this afternoon. Governor
Ide took umbrage at this portion of the
Archbishop's letter:
"Before going to court as a peaceful
American citizen I shall have had read
simultaneously in 2o0 pulpits a - solemn
protest against this attempted confisca
tion. This protest will go throughout the
archipelago and will reach the White
House. It will surely be taken up by the
American people. This step has not yet
been taken and time still remains to re
call your order."
Governor Ide's reply states that the
matter rests upon opinions of ,the Attorney-General
in 1902, but that, no action
has yet been taken.- The Governor says
In his reply:
"A portion of your letter produced a
painful Impression upon me. It was what
seemed to contain a threat that the
course you will take through the Philip
pines will excite hostility against the Gov
ernment. ' I agree that if your action
should go through the archipelago it
would reach the doors of the White
House, but I am certain that the result
would be far other than the one you had
in mind."
Governor Ide said today that no action
had been taken in the matter since his
letter was sent March 2. There had been
no official action since the opinions had
been given by the Attorney-General.
Archbishop Harty stated today that he
had not done anything further and re
gretted the publication of the correspond
ence, as he regarded the matter as per
sonal and unofficial.
The dispute relates to properties at San
Juan de Dios. The hospital Is claimed to
be the property of the Government. It
was used by the troops during the occu
pation of Manila. The claims of the
church are based on a transfer of the
property to the Franciscan friars during
the Spanish regime. The American of
ficials claim that the property was sup
ported by the Spanish and was owned by
the Spanish Government and now belongs
to the United States Government.
The controversy between the Archbishop
and the Governor-General was brought
about by an alleged order to take the
case to the courts. Governor Ide declares
that no such action was taken.

The healthy color of the skin Is given to it by the millions of little red
corpuscles in the blood. These are the carriers of nourishment, health and
strength to all parts of the body in other words the very life of the
blood. When the germs of Malaria get into this vital fluid they destroy
these corpuscles and rob the blood of its rich, lifes-nstaining qualities, ren
dering it thin, weak and watery and unable to supply the system with the
needed strength to resist disease. Then the symptoms of Malaria such as
pale, sallow complexions, weak vitality, poor appetite, deranged digestion, a
general "let down" condition of the system, and perhaps chills and slight
fever, show that this insidious disease is gradually affecting the entire health.
Malaria must be removed from the system through the circulation, and the
medicine to accomplish this is S. S. S. It not only cleanses the blood of all
impure, unhealthy .matter, but rids the system of Malaria, and restores the
blood to a strong, healthy condition. S. S. S., besides removing the germs
of Malaria, builds up and gives tone and vigor to the entire system by its
fine tonic effects. Malaria is a blood disease, and S. S. S. cures it because
it is a perfect blood purifier. Book on the blood and any medical advice

What makes food travel
11
through them?
A set of Muscles that lino
the walls o these Intestines or Bowels.
When a piece of Food rubs the walls
of the Intestines these Muscles tighten
behind It, and thus It starts a Muscle-wave
which drives It through the whole length
of the Bowels.
It should take about ,12 hours to do this
properly, so that nutritious parts of the
food may have time to be digested and
absorbed.
But, if it takes twice or three times
that period the food spoils in passing, and
becomes as poisonous as if it had decayed
before being eaten. " -"
