Just before adjournment. Nelson (Rep.

and it was passed without a word of
debate. Representative Flynn (Rep.
Okla.), who has been a warm champion
of the measure, was present when the bul
passed and cordially congratulated Sena
tor Nelson.
A concurrent resolution was adopted di

A bill providing for the appointment
of a Collector of Customs for the customs

Hale (Rep. Me.) then called up the
naval appropriation bill, the pending
question being on the amendment of
Chandler (Rep. N. H.) substituting la
Tillman's amendment $445 for $200 as the
price of armor. The amendment was re
jected. 23 to 27.

ing amendment to the committee propo
sition with respect to the construction of

equipped Government armor-plate man
ufactory. Including site, and the probable
tlmo at which the best modern armor

Tho next proposition of the committee
provided for the purchase of five Hol
land submarine torpedo-boats, at a price
Of $170,000 each, and It was adopted after
somo debate with an amendment mak
ing the purchase mandatory.
During tho debate, Teller (Sil. Colo.) de
nounced the Armor Ordnance Board as
Incompetent, and oald he would vote for
20 of the Holland boats to be built to allay
the sensitiveness and apprehension of
our seacoast cities, and he would there
lore support the amendment of Stewart
(Sil. New).
The committee amendment appropriat
ing $250,000 for the purchase of Gathman
guns and ammunition was withdrawn.
The amendment was adopted providing
in effect for the removal of the naval sta
' tion at Port Royal, S. C. to Charleston,
S. C. The bill authorizes the expenditure
of $412,000, but leaves the expenditure of
this money to tho discretion of the Secre
tary of tho Navy, who is authorized to
examine Into the expediency. of changing
the station , to Charleston. The amend
ment provides that there must be a depth
of water of at least 30 feet at -the new
station.
Hale, in advocating the amendment, said
the committee felt that no more good
money ought to be sent after bad at
Port Royal.
Chandler offered an amendment reduc
ing the number of armored cruisers pro
vided for In the 1)111 from three to two
and the number of protected cruisers from
three to two. His purpose In offering it,
he said, was to direct attention to the
fact that we are expending too much
money for our Navy and too little for
the development ot our merchant marine.
"There is a bill now before this Sen
ate," said he, "providing for the devel
opment of our merchant marine which
calls for no larger appropriation than Is
necessary for the construction, of two
flret-class war vessels. I hope that" Con
gress will not adjourn until it has brought
this shipping bill to a vote."
"I have not the slightest idea." jald
Toller, "that tho shipping bill will" -be
taken up until after the campaign, and
neither has the Senator" (Chandler).
"I am not a great party leader." re
plied Chandler, sarcastically, "but there
la no need that we should rush away from
hero before we pass this bill for the ad
vancement of our merchant marine."
Hale expresed the belief that he and
the Senator frqm New Hampshire would
bo much older men than they were now
before the subsidy bill was disposed of.
Chandler withdrew the amendment.
Teller said Chandler knew that his
party dared not bring the subsidy bill In.
"It Is to be shunted to go over until
the next session of Congress," said he.
"Then I suppose we shall have the sub
sidy bill, the bill to increase the Army
to 100,000 men and such other measures
as cannot be considered now, in view of
the Presidential campaign."
McBrlde (Rep. Or.) secured an .amend
ment providing for the appointment of a
"board of officers to determine the deslra
bl'lty of constructing a drydock- on the
Columbia River. Or.
THIman offered an amendment provid
ing that no armor should be contracted
for in advance of Its actual requirement
by vessels In construction. It was agreed
to.
Pettigrew (Sil. S. D.) declared, that it
was tho purpose of the dominant party
in Congress to mako these great contracts
for war Vessels and armor in order that
it might be then in position to obtain
vast contributions to Its campaign fund.
The bill then pa-ed without division.
Nelson (Rep. Minn.) secured the passage
of an act providing for free homesteads
on the public lands for actual and "bona
fide settlers and reserving the public
lands for that purp.
A bill also passed to apply a portion of
the proceeds of the sale of public lands
to the endowment, support and mainten
ance of schools or departments of mining
and metallurgy In the several states and
territories In connection with the colleges
for the benefit of agriculture and the me
chanic arts.
The Senate, at 5:43 P. M., adjourned.

House Committee. '
"WASHINGTON. May 14. Secretary
Root today explained to the House xnlll
tarv committee the advantages that would
accrue from the passage of the Senate
Army reorganization 'bill. He dwelt es
pecially on the proposed Increase of the

said tho effect of the bill is to increase
the Army 50,000 or 60,000 entirely in the ar
tillery, this Increase extending over a
period of yearn "While differing from the
provision originally recommended, Mr.
Root approved the Senate amendment, as
It would permit the "War Department to
go to work and put the artillery In shape.
The situation now, in caring for seacoast
fortifications, is just as foolish and im
practicable, the Secretary said, as It
would be if a man built a fine house,
equipped It in the most perfect manner,
and then went away and left It to take
care of Itself. There are millions and mil
lions invested In fortifications, lie said,
with no one to take care of them, involv
ing depreciation from lack of attention.

gree of kinship. A legacy to a husband
or wife is exempt. Legacies to others

States Circuit Court of Appeals for tho
Ninth District today affirmed the Illegality
of the "boycott" In the case 6f C J. and
L. B. Hanchctt vs. John Chlotovlch. The

tion of the right appertaining to every
person engaged In an Industrial enterprise
for another person, through malice or re
venge, to command or Induce other per
sons to withdraw or withhold their cus
tom from him or otherwise maliciously In
terfere with his business."
Chlotovlch is a wholesale and retail mer
chant in the town of Silver Peak, Nev.
The Hanchetts employ about SO men In
the same town. For some reason not ma
terial to the issue, Chlotovlch Incurred the
dlsploasure of the Hanchetts, and they
showed their disapproval by posting bills
around the town threatening their em
ployes with discharge should they con
tinue to buy merchandise from him. The
merchant resisted tho boycott by filing
suit In a Kederal Court and obtaining an
Injunction and damages. The Court of
Appeals affirmed the decision of the lower

"WASHINGTON, May 14. The House,
today passed the general deficiency ap
propriation bill an 3 the military aca
demy bill, the last of the supply bills-,
will follow tomorrow. The deficiency bill
carries 53.S33.02f, and was passed sub-
stantlaliy without amendment. The gen- 1
eral debate was devoted practically tb
political topics, the feature being a se
vere arraignment of tbe Administration
by De Armond (Dem. Mo).
"When the House met today. Cannon
(Rep. I1L) reported the general deficiency
bill, 'and Hull (Rep. la.) reported life
military academy bill. Cannon moved
that the House go into committee of the
whole to consider the former bill. The
general debate was limited to one hour
on a side.
Little 'of the general debate that fol
lowed was pertinent to the bill. Broslus

the total amount of bonds refunded to

per cent, of the bonds having been pre
sented by other than National banks. Tho

from a native Porto Rican enthusiasti
cally Indorsing the action of Congress In
passing the Porto Rtcan. tariff law.

De Armond ridiculed the letter read
by Corliss. He described the ecstacy
with which tho -native population must
have received the views that they were
to be governed by "carpet-baggers" who,
he said, "would take everything portablo
and nail down everything they could not
carry away." It would be the sad and
shameful story of carpet-baglsni In tho
South again. DeArmond charged the Ad
ministration with cowardice for allowing
no official utterance of sympathy to go
out to the Boers, struggling In South
Africa to Tepeat the splendid story of the
American Revolution. He concluded by
charging that there was either a secret
understanding with Great Britain or an
American Administration truckling to
wealth and power had overlooked and
forgotten the rights of humanity.
Underwood (Dem. Ala.) offered an
amendment to allow all the employes of
the House one month's extra, pay. To It
Cannon raised a point of order, which
was sustained by the Chair, and then
by the House on appeal. Practically
without amendment, the bill was passed.
A bill was passed to authorize the "Sen

THE HARVEY PATENT. '
Senator Chandler Explained His
Charge of Fraud.
NEW YORK. May14. A special to the
"World from' Washington says:
Senator Chandler was asked for further
explanation of his charges In the Senate
I that the Harvey armor patent Is a fraud,
ana tnat Krupp armor Is without superior
merit. He gave the story of the Harvey
patents as follows:
"Mr, Harvey, nine years ago, offered
some especially hardened tool steel to
Captain Folger, then an ordnance officer
rot the Navy, who suggested that he ex-
Perlment In- applying the hardening pro
cess to armor. All that Mr. Harvey did
at his own expense was to get a little
plate three feet square and four Inches
thick, and he brought It in contact with
a charcoal fire at Newark. N. J. He
submitted the result to Commander FoJ
ger, who thereupon, at the expense of the
Navy Department, went on with the ex
periment. "He ordered from the Creusot Works
a plate six feet by eight feet by 10&
Inches, and down here at the Navy yard
he went on and supercarburlzed the plate,
Mr. Harvey being present and giving di
rections. Then Mr. Harvey applied for
a patent. This was in April, 1S9L The
claim was disallowed. ItSvas after that
DONNELLY.
POPULISTS FOR VICE-PRESI-
repeatedly disallowed. Eugene A. Byrnes,
the examlnci, rejected it. A second rejec
tion was made on June 11, 1S3L and on
June 20, 1S32. Secretary Tracy wrote a let
ter to tho Patent Office, asking to have
the Harvey patent expedited. That ex
pedition tcok placo, and at last the two
examlners-In-chlef, R. L. B. Clarke .and
S. W. Stocking, on appeal from tho "pri
mary examiner, allowed the patent, which
was issued September 23, 1SS1.
"So the monopoly had been-creatcd. An
one can, Judge whether It was Created by
Mr. Harvey . or by Commander FolKer.
Among the reasons given by the Patent
Office for Tejectlng the patent was the as
sertion that there Is no Invention adding
to the carburizlng process disclosed by
Harvey and McDonald, the well-known
step of hardening by chilling employed by
Sperry & Howell."
Taking up the subject of Krupp armor.
Mr. Chandler said that as Congress fixed
the maximum price for armor a; $300, the
combined companies of the world found
It necessary to resort to some new meth
od of making the plate. In order to avoid
coming down In the price of their prod
ucts. "The companies then invented this new
Krupp armor," added the Senator, "which
Is nothing In the world but an armor
Into the face ot which carbon Is driven
two or three times as far as It is Into
the face of Harvey armor. Tho patents.
If there .are any, we know nothing about!
Tbe so-called secret Is no secret at all."
COLER'S TRUST PLANK.
Expects to Have It Incorporated in
the Democratic Platform.
NEW YORK, May 14.-Controller Coler
is to send Chairman Jones, of the Demo
cratic National Committee, this week a
draft of the trust plank which he wishes
Incorporated .in the Democratic Nat'onal
platform. Mr. Coler last night said that
Chairman Jones was pleased with his
proposition, and that he felt sure it would
be part of the platform.
T did not dlscues candidates either here
or In the National field with Chairman
Jpnes," said Mr. Coler. "We did talk
about political conditions In this state,
and I told him the Democratic party was
going to carry the state. I feel sure it
will do so."
Mr. Coler said he would support the
candidates of the National convention. Ho
had not talked of the silver Issue with
Mr. Jones.
"I think." said Mr. Coler, "that the
question of commercialism Is one of the
I most important now before the people. I
iititc uiuauucu nun auuits ui uie aiaie
leaders, and I believe I will get this plank
Into the state platform as well as tho Na
tional platform. I want to get It Into all
tho state platforms, and I shall try to
do so. The primary purpose of the plank
whloh I suggest Is to top the Incorpora
tion of companies merelv for purposes of
manipulation. Publicity Is what I. seek.
A man's private business is hla own se
cret, but as eoon as he receives a char
ter from the state. It becomes a public
business and the state should control It.
"Every great corporation that controls
public utilities has at Its head men who
have held political office. Having gained
knowledge of political methods while hold
ing office by the franchise of the people,
they turn the knowledge acquired against
the people. The vast and to some extent
illegitimate fortunes of today are the re
sult of public men giving to private cor
porations private rights."

STRIKE NEARLY SETfLEDl
ADJUSTING ST. LOUIS STREET RAIL
WAY TROUBLES. r
Employes of the Suburban Company
Retnrn to "IVorlc Today Deal
ing? "With. Transit Mea.
ST. LOUIS, May 14. There were im
portant developments In the street-car
strike situation- today. At a conference
held between the officials of the Suburban
Railway Company, the only system, not
controlled by the St. Louis Transit Com
pany, and on which a strike was Inaugu
rated 10 days before that declared on. the
Transit system, and tho officials "and em
ployes of that road, an amicable adjust
ment was effected and the men will return
to work tomorrow-morning. On just what
basis the strike was settled could not be
learned, but J, can bo positively stated
that the Union received, 'full recognition.
In many quarters It is figured that the
settlement of the strike on the Suburban
presages an adjustment of the differences
between tho Transit Company and its 3600
striking employes in the near future. In
fact, it was learned tonight that at a
conference held this afternoon of the offi
cials of the Trahslt-Company, the chair
man of the employes' grievance commit
tee and some of the members of 'the citi
zens' committee, matters were adjusting
themselves nicely for a -settlement of the
difficulty when a member of the citizens"
committee injected Into the proceedings a
proposition of such a character that the
discussion was brought to a close with
matters no nearer a settlement" than had
"heretofore existed. It Is thought., how
ever, that a future meeting will result In
determining a basis for a settlement-of
the strike.
Tho Suburban Company had no difficulty
in maintaining a- thorough Tunning sched
ule today, and riotous demonstrations on
that line were conspicuous by their ab
sence. On the Transit Company's system
there were a number of demonstrations
moro noisy than otherwise. In one In
stance the police were obliged to charge a
crowd of strlko sympathizers tp disperse
It, and in a number of Instances used the
flat side of their sabers In accomplishing
their purpose. No casualties of a serious
nruro were reported during the day.
By tho agreement entered Into today by
General Manager Jenkins, pf the Subur
ban road, and- George W. Woodworth,
chairman of the grievance committee,
which settled the strike, all differences
were submitted to arbitration. The first
question involves a decision of the viola
tion of the agreement of April 6. The ar
bitrators are to decide whether the com
pany or Its employes violated that agree
ment. If the decision ! In favor of the
company, then all the men are to return
to work and comply with the terms of the
agreement of April 6. Mr. Jenkins agree
ing to do the same. If the decision Is
against Manager Jenkins, then the com
pany agrees to arbitrate all questions at
Issue between It and Its employes. All
men not discharged prior to April 29 are
to return to work tomorrow morning. In
tho event that the finding of the board
of arbitration Is against the company, it
Is agreed that the arbitrators shall con
sider the discharge of all men since March
21, and Its findings shall be binding upon
the company. The arbitrators are to be
three In number one from the company,
one from the union, and a third to be se
lected by the two.
Chief Campbell's advertisement for 2000
emergency policemen did nor meet with
hearty response.

WESTEIiX 1ISIOX LABOIL
Annual Convention Opens at Denver
Hoyce's Speech.
DENVER, May 14. The annual conven
tion of the Western Federation of Miners
and the Western Labor Union opened this
morning with a joint meeting. The wel
coming -address was made by Roady Ken
ham and responses by Presidents Boyco

ident McDonald says these laborers are
replacing white labor on all the roads In
the Northwest, being employed almost
exclusively as-section gangs on the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern Railways..
In his speech. President Boyce said:
"I wljl say without hesitation or fear
of contradiction that In the grandest re
public ever organized we are fast de
scending to a condition worse than has
ever existed In any monarchy on earth. It
Is time for laboring people to say that no
military despot shall exist in any state
or county of this country. We should not
longer endure the action of the Judges
sitting on the bench of the Unltefl States
Supreme Court, who issuo injunctions re
straining laboring men. There seems no
relief to be expected from any political
organization existing today, I am sorry to
say, and all our hope of gaining relief
through politics must como when we come
to the point where we can rely upon our
selves to cast a united vote."
President Boyce named the following
committee on credentials: John McKen

HILL BUYS A FLOUR MILL.
Ami Thai
Sccarcs an Entry Into
Spokane.
SPOKANE, WashT" May , 14. By the
payment today -of 4140,000 to Charles
Sweeney, Of Spokane, James J. Hill, of
the. Great Northern, became the owner
of the large and completely equipped
Echo Flour mill here.- Incidentally the
purchase brought to an end litigation
which has been giving- the railroad much
trouble. The Great Northern Is now en
gaged In grading a new right of way
through this city, building depots, etc.,
at an estimated expense of $2,000,000. Tho
road 'at present has a leased, track and
depot. The new right of way was all
secured; except where it crossed the
Echo Mill property, and without this
crossing the new grade was wholly use
less, owing to the peculiar natural situa
tion. The mill had been sold by sheriff's
sale under foreclosure to a mortgage
company, and but 30 days were left of
the redemption period when Hill recently
bought the Sheriffs deed. Sweeny, rep
resenting the second mortgage, redeemed
from Hill and promptly Tirought an in
junction suit, stopping the grading, claim
ing injury to the water power of the-mill.
This tied up all the work here, pending
what might have been a long trial. Coun
sel' Grover and I. N. Hill- came 'here
from St. Paul to arrange a compromise,
which was finally consummated today.The
mill Is one of the best equipped in tho
state, and has an abundant waterpower.
What Hill's plans are In regard to its
operation are not known. The new grade
does not Interfere with the mill property.
As a result ot the passage by the Senate
tqday of the free homes bill, and Its ex
pected approval by the President, local
land office officials expect a much greater
rush of entries; when the coivuie reser
vation opens, as the bill does away with
the provision requiring the payment of
$1 per acre. ,

It doesn't make any difference
whether you believe iu the modern
theory and speak of the cause of dis
eases as referable to germs, microbes
or bacilli, or whether you, use the old
er and better understood terms of
''humors" and ' blood diseases'
Hood6 Sarsaparilla cures them all
JUST THE SAZiIE. It cures those
eruptions, boils and pimples which arc
so likely to appear in ihe Spring-;
cures scrofula diseases in their mo3t
tenacious forms ; cures salt rheum or
eczema and relieves tho itching and
burning; adapts itself equally well
to, and also cures, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles due to generally
weak condition and thin, anaemic
blood; cures nervous troubles, which,
in nine cases out of ten, exist because
tho impure blood cannot supply prop
er nerve food; cures debility and
that tired feeling, which just as surely
indicate that the blood is lacking in
vitality and the elements of health.
This is not merely modern theory hut
it is solid, up-to-date fact. Hood's
Sarsaparilla has had such remarkable
success along these Hues that it is not
too much to say it is ihe best Spring

In the East childlessness is considered
a curse from the gods. It is, a pathetic
sight to see some childless Hindoo
mother prostrate before an idol, implor
ing that the curse of childlessness may be
taken away.
Are we much
wiser than the
heathen?
Thousands of
childless
women are
not as they
suppose un
der Nature's
ban, but are
suffering from
a diseased
condition of
the delicate feminine organs. It may be
debilitating drains or female weakness,
and perhaps an ulcerated and inflamed
condition of the parts. In any case the
diseased condition must be removed and
a healthy condition established before
the maternal function can be fulfilled.
Many a mother acknowledges her debt
to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and
to its inventor Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo.
N. Y., who invites the sick to write and
consult him without charge. " Favorite
Prescription " promptly allays irritation,
heals ulceration, checks the debilitating
drains,' cures female weakness and the
accompanying bearing down pains. It
gives vitality and elasticity to tne organs
peculiary feminine, and establishes the
natural conditions which make for the
easy birth of healthy children.
There is nothing just as good for you.
as "Favorite Prescription." Don't be
put off with a substitute.
I have never written yon how grateful I am
to you for your help in securing good health and
one of the sweetest, dearest thirteen pound girls
that ever came into a home," -cmtes Mrs. M.
Yastine, of 647 South Liberty St., Galesburg, HI.
"When I wrote you about my ailments I was
living in Richland Iowa. I toot six bottles of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, four of the
4 Golden M edical Discovery ' and four vials of
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Before I had taken
four bottles of the Favorite Prescription I was
a new woman. I cannot make pea describe my
heartfelt gratitude."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets regulate
the stomach, liver and bowels.
"After I Trail Induced to try CASCA-
EETS.'I will never ba without them in tbe house.
My liver was in a very bad shapo. and dj bead
ached and I bad stomach trouble. Now. since. tak
ing Cascarets. I feel flno. Mr wlfo' has also useA
tbm with beneficial results for sour stomach."
