compatible with the public interest, to

ment of the expenses of the Commission.
er-General of the Paris Exposition, and
also to state the salaries of all employes
of the Commission. Jones stated that In
the report already filed with the Senate
the detailed Items of salaries and expenses
were not Included in accordance with law.
This, he believed, ought to be remedied,
hence his resolution.
Chandler (Rep. N. H.) then asked unan
imous consent that two weeks from today
(April 24), at 4 P. M.. a vote be taken on
the resolution relative to the seating of
Hon. JI. S. Quay as a Senator from Penn
syh ania.
Burraivs (Rep. M'ch.) expressed the
hope that there would be no objection to
the request. Without opposition, the re
quest of Chandler was agreed to.
On motion of Cullom (Rep. 111.), the
Senate noncencurred in the House amend
ments to the Hawaiian civil government
bill, and Cullom, Lodge and Morgan were

After Hoar (Rep. Mass.) had addressed
the Senate briefly on the Quay case, the
Quay resolution was laid aside for the
day, it being announced that Burrows
would speak on the subject tomorrow.
A bill was parsed providing for allot
ments of lands In severalty to the Indians
of the Lapolnte or Bad River reservation,
"Wisconsin.
At 1 o'clock, resolutions expressing the
regret of the Senate at the death of the
late Representative R. P. Bland, of Mis
souri, were called up by Cockrell (Dem.
Mo.), and eulogies upon the dead states
man were pronounced by Senators. In
the executive gallery, Mrs. Bland sat and
listened to tho brilliant eulogies of her
illustrious husband. She was accompa
nied by several relatives and friends.
Vest Dem. Mo.) was first to address the
Senate, his "brief remarks being touching
and eloquent. In part he said:
"Mr. Bland was the father and pioneer
of blmetaltsm in tho United States, and
gave his life to that cause. He had stud
led the question In all Its phases, not
only In the writings of eminent financiers,
but In the canyons and mining camps of
the" far West, where Pike's Peak towers
with its snow-crowned brow above the
smaller mountains, like some hoary-headed
monarch of tlie feudal ages surrounded
by his gilm noblilty."
Further along Vtt saldt "Richard
Parks Bland shou'd have been the noml
nte of the Democratic party naturally
and logically at the gnat National Con
vention of ISM. hed at Chicago. I know
personally that hs did not desire that
nomination. I know that he. above all
oth rs. knew his precarious health, and
that the icy finger of death might touch
him at any moment. He was defeated, as
all of the leadeis of great popular move
ments who have borne the heat and bur
den of the day and excited the bitter an-taponl-m
of opponents have always been
defeated in all ages and countries, when
success was about to crown their efforts.
Political parties are not actuated by grati
tude, but by hope of success. It has al
wa j s been so and will be -so to the end of
time. So. in 1S.C. Richard Porks Bland,
the vetetan leader of blmetallem, who had
stood by its banner when others faltered
and deserted, was put osld for a young
and bril lant orator, who was a school-,
boy when Bland introduced and passed
through the House of Representatives in
1K8 the., first bill providing for the free
t. -and nnl.onrod coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to h Always has It been so.
The'hands that place today upon the ped
rttal of popular favor their idol will shat
ter that Idol on the morrow, and varied
Is the mind of desultory man, studious
of change and pleased with novelty."
After paying a b autlful tribute to Mr.
Bland's love of his family. Vest conclud
ed as follows:
"His bady lies in tho soil of the great
Commonwealth, whose people-loved and
honored him so Jong. His . spirit has
parsed across the- dark river to be jrreet-
ed on the other s'-de by the five children.
wno went before him.
The night is gone.
And with the morn
The angel faces smile.
"Wh'ch ho had Ioied long since
And lost awhile.
"Slatesman, ratriot stainless gentle
man and doir friend, farewell!"
Others who addressed the Senate were:
Jones (Sll. Nev.), Berry (Dem. Ark.)
Llndsny (D-m. Ky.), Carter (Rp. Mont),
Daniel (Dem, Va.), Teller (S1L Rep. Colo.l.
Allison-ptepTIa.),. Jones- (Demy-Ark.) and
Stewart (S'L Nev.Vr 'The-.concluding ad
dress was delivered by Cockrell. like Vest,
a long-time personal and political friend
of Bland. Eirnest. sincere and eloquent,
Cockrcll's eulogy was a fitting conclusion
of a series of noble addresses.
The resolutions were adopted, and at
3:20 the Senate, as .an additional mark of
respect, adjourned.
In the llonne.
Payne (Rep. N. Y.) chairman of the
ways and means committee, reported
Back the Puerto RIcan tariff bill from
that committee, with the recommendation
that the Senate amendments be con
curred In. It was ordered printed and
placed on the calendar.
A Senate resolution was adopted which,
orders' the printing of a special edition
of the year book of the Department of
Agriculture for distribution at the Paris
Exposition.
Hepburn (Rep. la.), chairman of the
committee on commerce, asked for a re
print of the Nicaragua canal bill.
"Wheeler (Dem. Ky.) asked whether it
was the .intention to consider the canal
'bill at this .session;
"I cannot answer that question," re
plied Hepburn, "It Is. my purpose to
bring it up If I can." .
"How about the gentleman's colleagues?
There Is no objection on this side."
."The gentleman knows as. well as I,"
responded Hepburn, "that no. Individual
can state whether a bill will be consid
ered. But I will say that If I can effect
it it will be dona." . v
Powers (Rep. Vt) called up the bill to
create a commission to make a settlement
with the Sioux City & Pacific Railroad
of Its Indebtedness to the United States,
which was considered, but not disposed of
several weeks ago.
Hepburn supported the bill, which, he
argued, would bring about a satisfactory
settlement with the road. The road is
only about 100 miles long, and is valuabla
only as a feeder for some trunk line.
Shafroth (S1L Cola) thought the bill
should bo amended so as to permit com.
petition in the settlement of the debt of
the road. The road was not impecunious,
he;sal Tho last report of the Pacific
Railroad Commissioner showed that It
had earned 3$4 Ter cent net on Its en
tire Indebtedness, Including its debt to
the Government, principal and Interest.
There were four roads which would nat
rally compete for this road. He offered
an. amendment, which. was accepted, en
larging the powers of the commission, so
that it could .receive propositions from
any corporation, soil or assign the Gov
ernment Hen or do any and all things
necessary to secure the best settlement
for the Government.
Bell (Pop. Colo.) thought that unless
the -commission , could obtain the full
amount of tho Government's claim, the
Subject, should bo referred back to Con
gress ,'
t Williams (Dem. Miss,) offered an amend,
merit providing that the settlement
reached by the commission should be re
ferred to Congress for approval and acceptance-
This amendment was defeated,
83 to 109. and the bill was then passed.
Sherman. Curtis and Little were ap
pointed conferrees on tho Indian appro
priatlon bill.
Ttin HtmsB -men resumed consiuerauou
of the agricultural appropriation, bill, ths
pending amendment being to Increase
the appropriation for farmers' bulletins
from JS3.000 to J105.000. The Latlmet
amendment was resisted by the agri
cultural committee, and a lively discus.
s!on ensued, but the amendment was
agreed to.
Corliss (Rep. Mich.) offered an amend
ment to the provision for the free distri
bution of seeds, providing that "dlnnef
palls for the laboring people" be in
cluded In this distribution. Ha said this
was done in good faith, as there "was at
much reason to give dinner palls to on
class as to give seeds to another class.
He asserted also that the seed dealers
thus disposed of large quantities of
worthless seed to the Government
McRae (Dem. Ark.) opposed the amend
ment declaring that it was due to the
fact that Corliss had an extensive seed
concern in his district The amendment
was finally lost CorlliB offered an
amendment designed to prevent the free
distribution of vaccine for the cattle dis
ease known as "blackleg." He said thli
placed the Government In competition
with private enterprises. After, debate,
the amendment was defeated. The bill
was then passed.
At 4:15 o'clock the House adjourned.

In the day. If at all tomorrow, as con
siderable time will be spent in passing the
special rule
As to the final result of the vote there
continues to bs much doubt and a little
anxiety on the Republican side, owing to
tho extremely narrow margin between tht
two sides. Long, the Republican "whip,"
saldii o
"There Is too much doubt to venture a
prediction. The situation Is summed up
thus: The Republican majority In the
House Is 19: there arc eight Republicans
against the bill: that leaves a majority of
only three. It Is a narrow margin."
Representative Underwood, the Demo
cratic "whip." said:
"We w!H have every man present ex
cept two; .they are in bed. There will be
no Democratic votes for the bill. This will
make the vote very close, and we hope
to prevent concurrence."

WASHINGTON, April 10,-Tha Scrubs
committee on privileges and elections to
day decided by a unanimous vote to rec
ommend an option resolution declaring
that Honorable W. A. Clark, of Mon
tana, is not entitled to occupy his seat
as Senator from Montana, The deci
sion was reached after a twp hours' sit
ting, at which all members of the com.
mltteo were present except one. The ab
sentee was Senator Caffery. and he wired
his vote In opposition to Clark.
A ballot -was not. taken until ail mem
bers present had expressed themselves
upon the question, some of them speak
ing at some length and all expressing
different shades of opinion. Harris In
dicated the most pronounced leaning to
ward leniency for Clark. He did not
express any doubt that there bad been
a lavish expenditure of money In Clark's
behalf, and while condoning this course,
he spoke In terms of strong condemnation

The two Senators also expressed some
doubt as to the Justification of the con
clusion drawn by tho majority of the
committee, that Clark's candidacy lor
the Senate began in August 169S. when
he returned from Butte to New York.
The effect of this conclusion was to
charge up the entire J139.O0O which Clark
confessed to having expended, to his
campaign for the Senate, while the con
tention which wns made In Clark's be
half was that he did not become a can
didate until after the state election, thus

dividual behalf the amount spent In the
general content McComas was among

however, united with other Senators In
condemning the methods pursued in prose
cuting the case. '
The concensus of opinion of the commit
tee appeared unfavorable to accepting
any one special feature against Clark
as the basis for a report ngalnst him, the
general opinion being that It was the
cumulative character of the testimony
that should bo considered rather than any
special detail. Harris raised tho point
In Clark's behalf that the cumulative
effect of testimony could not properly be
considered, but he was overruled In his
position.' If prominence was given to
any one line of testimony more than to
another. It was dealing with transactions
apparently of a regular business nature
between Clark or his agents and members
of the Legislature.
The purchase of property from Senator
Warner and Representative McLaughlin
and the money tendered Representative
Wood to lift a mortgage from his ranch,
were considered as bearing directly upon
the cape. Of these matters, the Wood
case received especial attention. Payment
of money to Representative Day after
Clark's election also had weight The
opinion war expressed that no one of
these facts was a sufficient basis for an
adverse report, but all agreed that all tho
facts, many of them 'admitted, together
with other occurrences connected with
the campaign, were sufficient to Juitlfy
a positive position against the Senator's
continuing to hold his place.
Tho fact that Clark and his representa
tives had failed to make their reports to
the stato authorities of Montana as re
quired by the Mate law was 'also urged
against him in the discussion m the com
mittee, as was the fact that he and his
representatives had destroyed all their
vouchers, showing where money had been
used and to whom paid. When attention
was called to the fact that this course
was usual with campaign managent, tho
statement was met with the contention
that while the plan might be more com
monly adopted than It should be, still
there .could be no reasonable excuse for
It after fhe Whiteside exposure. It was
then known there would be a contest and
the argument wns made that every scrap
of paper bearing upon the election should
have been preserved after this develop
ment In the case.
Chandler and Turley were directed to
prepare the report It Is expected to be
presented at an early day.
There were many expressions In the
committee favorable, to Senator Clark
from a personal point of view, and more
than ono Senator gave utterance to doubt
as to whether he had actual personal part
In the knowledge of the expenditures.
Others expressed the opinion that the
Senator was In a certain senso tho victim
of environment and of habit Tho out
lay of money In past elections in Montana
was dwelt upon as one of tho explanations
of the liberal expenditures In this case.
Senator Turley was among the Senators
who dissented from the view that Mr.
Clark could have been uninformed of thq
fact that money was being used to pro
mote his election, and he mado one of tho
most vigorous talks of the series In favor
of anCadverse report
Clark was at the Capitol when the an
nouncement of tho action of the commit
tee was made known. He was surprised,
at the result but bore himself, with his
usual composure. HU face appeared
somewhat flushed, but his voice was calm
and his manner collected. Vand he dis
cussed other business affairs as If nothing
had transpired.
Senator Faulkner, counsel for Clark, wni
summoned to the Capitol Immediately af-
.opu-ESTs Ltywges. AfH,
ter the verdict of tfc- cosmlttee was an
nounced, and had a long consultation with
his client over the situation.
Senator Clark -will make no statement
at this time concerning the report After
a conference with Senator Faulkner the
determination was reached, that the proper
course would be to await tie appearanc
of tho commlttee'ai report containing Its
views oa the) evidence adduced during the
hearing, and the conclusion upon which
Its. report will be based. This, the Sena
tor's friends feel, will be preferable ta
issuing a statement now. while tho reason
for the committee's action are. not official
ly stated. It Is not believed that Senator
Clark contemplates resigning hU seat at
this time, and It Is said he has not gives
any consideration to the matter.

ON COLOMBIAN TERRITORY.
Landing
of an Armed
Expedition.
Mcnragnan
NEW YORK. April 10. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
A Nlcaraguan military expedition Is re
ported to have landed at Chlrlqul, Co
lombia, and tho cruiser Detroit has left
Port Llmon, Costa Rica, for that point
Acting Secretary of the Ifavy Allen said
tonight that he did not know there was
any connection between tho two events,
but it is believed the Detroit has gone to
Chh-iqul to observe the conduct of tho
Nlcaraguan expedition.
The American Minister to Costa Rica
and Nicaragua and the commanders of
the cruisers Philadelphia and Detroit are
actfng under Instructions to preserve the
peace of Central America by every proper
means. Chlrlqul Is not far from the south
ern boundary of Costa Rica. It has been
believed by the authorities that the ten
sion between Nicaragua and Costa Rica
was very much reduced as a result of
the good offices of Minister Merry, and
the San Joso Government apparently
thinking there was no further danger of
hostilities, began to discharge tho troops
hastily levied and to reduce the guard es
tablished along tho northern frontier.
Information received here' is that the
Nlcaraguan expedition was carried to
Chlrlqul by the Nlcaraguan transport'
Momotombo, so that the movement Is re-,
garded as a government one for which
Nicaragua cannot avoid responsibility. In
some quarters It has been looked on as a
filibustering expedition. Intended to aid the
revolutionists in the 'Colombian Govern
ment It was pointed out, however, that
the seat of tho revolution In Colombia was
In tho Stato of Panama and not In Chlrl
qul. There Is reason to believe Costa Rica
was advised of the dispatch of the Nlcara
guan expedition, and the Information may
have been given to Commander Duncan
Konnedy, of tho Detroit by the Costa
RIcan authorities. If Colombia permitted
the landing of the expedition and allows
tho Nlcaraguans to use Its territory as a
base of operations against Costa Rica,
the latter country will have good ground
for damages against the Bogota Govern
ment Having been Informed of the land
ing of the expedition at Chlrlqul, it Is pre
sumed that Costa Rica has taken measures
to defend herself from attack.
It is not believed Commander Kennedy
wilt forcibly Interfere with the Nlaara-
guan expedition, but- he may use his good
offices to prevent It from carrying out any
nostue design. -
May Canae a General Itorr.
WASHINGTON. April 10. It would not
surprise officials here If the recent action
of Nlcaraguan filibusters In landing on
tne istnmus should result In Involving at
least three of the Central American Re
publics in difficulties. Reports received
here have Indicated that trouble was
brewing In Colombia for some time past
and there, have been frequent rumors of
the Intention of the Nlcaraguans to at
tack Costa Rica. It appears that the Nlc
araguans have now actually made a land
Ing, though It Is not clear whether their
movement Is directed against Colombia or
Costa Rica. The point where the party
landed Is on the Pacific side of the Isth
mus, and tho party made. Its way to a
place named David, near the boundary
lino between Costa Rica and Colombia,
but within the lines of the tract of ter.
ritory claimed by both nations. The gov
ernment of Colombia has taken steps to
send a force against the filibusters, as
suming that they are on Colombian soil,
and It Is possible that tho government of
Costa Rica will do likewise. In that case
there may be complications.

"No Place like Home"
THE IDEAL. OF HAPPINESS
FOUND IN FAMILY LIFE. .
There Is no plea which a criminal can
ever make which offers so much ground
for a lenient sentence as this: "I never
had a home."
The gray-haired Judge as he hears the
plea leta his thoughts float away back
to those days when.mother kissed him as
she tucked him into the bed so white

we come to see the essential element which
makes home, the leaven which leaveneth
the whole lump, we find it in the .love of
wife and mother. "It's home whero the
heart Is," and the hearts of husband and
of child find that the homo magnet Is tho
fond wife and faithful mother.
When the health of the wife and mother
gives away, the home begins to fall Into
ruin. How can a woman bear the romp

It Is not to 'be wondered at then mat
husbands and wives alike have been pro

Prescription, which cures womanly Ills
and restores the wife and mother to her
position of home-maker.
A HUSBAND'S THANKS.
"In answer to your letter, I will say. my
wife commenced to complain 20 years
ago." writes- Lewis. A. Miller. ex-Chief
of Police. 33 Prospect street. Welssport
Pa. "We have tried the skill of 12 dif
ferent doctors. She took gallons of med
icine during the time she was 111. until
I wrote to you and you told us what to
do. She has taken eight bottles of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription and six ot
the "Golden Medical Discovery.' She can
do her own work now and can walk
around again, and is qulto smart. She is
still continuing the use of the medicines,
and will do so, for there Is nothing better
on earth.
"You can publish this letter If you wish.'
We have received such benefit that we
wish every sufferer could derive the same
amount -of good. My wife's complaint
seemed to be a complication of diseases
so the'doctors'sald. Wo will ever remain
your friends. May God bles3 you ana
your Institute."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes
weak women strong and sick women well
That brief phrase expresses the wonder
ful power of tho medicine over womanlj
diseases. To speak of "weak" women
doesn't seem to mean very much. But
when we begin to consider the strain
and burden laid upon the weak woman,
we can begin to understand tho possibili
ties of suffering suggested by the word
"weak." Her side and back ache, but
she must lift heavy weights and stoop and
reach In household work, until the women
who were'stretched on the rack of martyr
dom can alone compare In suffering with
herd. Her head aches, ' her eyes "burn,
her nerves quiver, but Phe must walk
the floor with the fretful baby and try
to get It to sleep. It la to women such
as these, suffering, miserable, bearing
the heavy burdens of wifely obligation
with womanly fortitude, that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite -Prescription comeo as a God
send. It makes them welt It does away
with physical ailments which are caused
by womanly Ills1. It makes tho weak
women strong strong In the back. In tho
head. In the nerves and In every womanly
organ.
FROM SICK TO WELL.
"I was sick for a long tlmo with fe
male trouble." writes Mrs. Lydla Craft
of Larwood, Linn County, Oregon, "but
paid little attention to it until last Win
ter. I had a mishap, nml this left me In
such a weakened condition. I grew very
nervous and drapondent. I did not want
to see anybody: everything seemed so
strange, as though I were in a strango
land. I had such a disagreeable feeling
In my head; It was not a headache, but a
drawing feeling, nnd the top of my head
wns hot and painful. I hail bearing-down
pains, and my back hurt me all the time.
I could not do any work at all, and could
not sleep. I tried some patent medicine,
but got no relief. I went to see the best
doctor In Lebanon. He "akl I had inflam
mation of the inside lining of the uterus.
He treated me for a wh'le. and I did
not see much change. I wrote to Dr.
Pierce, 'and In duo time received an en
couraging letter, advising me to take his
'Favorite Prescription' and "Golden Med
ical Discovery.' I did so. and am very'
glad to say It helped me steadily. I could
see that I wa gaining. When I wrote
to you I weighed J7 pounds, now welsh
99. I can eat anything I want to. mv
appetlto is good. I can work all day and
not feel "tired at night I have no more
bearing-down paint My head does not
trouble me any more at all, and I feel
better than I have for three years."
If women only realized .that the general
health depended on the "local womanly
health. tbe.y would turn at once to "Fa
vorite Prescription" as ft woman's medi
cine, tried and proved by hslf a, million
cures, rather thnn trust themselves to the
methods of Inexperienced practitioners.
"Favoriro Prescription" regulates the pe
riods, drfes weakening drains, heals In-
flammatlon and ulceration and cures fje

Sick and weak women are Invited to
consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All
correspondence Is read In private, and
answered In private, and held In sacred
confidence. Write freely therefore to Dr.
R. V. Pierce. Buffalo, N. Y.
A SUGGESTION.
It seems wise to suggest to women who
read this that they distinguish between
Dr. Pierce's offer of freo consultation by
letter and tho cunningly worded offers of
"freo medical advice." made by unscrupu
lous persons, who are not physicians, and
.wmj j .. ...w . i...? ....., ....
;,tnereiore cannot givo meoicat auvice un-
i aer any conuiuons.
As chief consulting physician to tho In.
vaJUls" Hotel and Surgical Instigate. Ruf
faR. N. Y Dr. Pierce, "ousted by his
staff of nearly a score of physicians, has
in a little over 30 years treated and cured
more than half a million women. There
Is no other offer of freo consultation by
letter which places- at tho disposal of suf
fering women the skill of one of the lead
ing specialists in woman's diseases, nnd
the ability of nearly a score of assistant
physicians, each man a specialist In tho
treatment and cure of disease.
There Is no alcohol In "Favorite Pre
scription." and It Is entirely freo from
opium, cocaino and all other narcotics.
It is a true temperance medicine
Dealers who nro eager to make the Httlo
more rroflt paid by lesi meritorious ar
ticles, sometimes endeavor to substitute
another medicine as "Just as good" as
"Favorite Prescription." There Is no gain
in changing from a standard remedy to
an unproved preparation, which only
claims to be "Just as good" and no better
.than Dr. Pierce's. Insist on the medi
cine which has made half a million women
well and strong. Dr. Pierce's Favorlto
Prescription. .
