MEASURE ONE FOR RICH MAN Defeat Is Sow Almost Certnln Lead ing; Democrats Interpret Hill's .Speech as Bid for the Presidency. WASHINGTON. April 16. At a hear ing today before the public lands com mittee of the House, Land Commissioner Hermann strongly denounced the Bower eock bill, providing for leasing the va cant public lands of the "West. "I am confident If this bill becomes a law," eaid he, "it -Mil -work a great Injury to a, majority of the people of Western states; retard the development of the public domain; Impose additional privation upon the hardy pioneer; compel tho small stockowner and settler to pay tribute and rental to the syndicate owner, or drive them from, the open Held; encourage great landed monopo lies UDon vacant domain -which should be free to all, and engender a feeling of hostility and Inequality among those who should be friends and equals. With these convictions, I earnestly - recom mend that the bill be not passed." Commissioner Hermann said the enact ment of the pending law would virtually repeal the homestead desert land and timber culture acts; that while it Is ap parently intended to give the home steader preferential right, yet, in practi cal operation, it would give the home steader no opportunity of getting pos session of the public lands when once leased to large holders. He also ob jected to that feature of the bill allow ing parties holding-leases to sublet. He maintained that the enactment of this bill would permit the large stockowners to deny homesteaders the right of egress and ingress to their lands, as the right to lease would carry with It the right to fence the public domain, and cut off opportunity for permanent settlement. He added that the bill would benefit the large stock companies In the same proportion that it would Injure the small stockowner and homesteader. The views of the Commissioner are In hearty accord with the views of practi cally every member of the committee. It was evident from today's hearing that the bill has no showing whatever of passing, yet there Is a sentiment among a portion of the committee to frame some bill. If possible, which will permit of the leasing of the public ranges in some manner, and which will safeguard the settlers. Neither Commissioner Her mann nor any member of the committee has yet devised such a bill. Which Will Get Public Building? The House public buildings committee Is undecided as to what recognition It shall grant the State of Washington. It has been determined that an Increase of $250,000 in the cost of the Seattle public building will be authorized, but the committee hesitates about making an appropriation for a public building at Tacoma or Spokane. But one new build ing Is to be allowed the state, and the decision Is to be made within a few days. or nothing is heard of the silver Issue, and with that eliminated, the prominent Democrats gay there is no reason why either Hill or Gorman phould not be con sidered as possibilities. In order to head off the Gorman and Hill movement, some Western Democrats have started a little talk about Bailey of Texas, the young Senator who recently made a Very good Impression in the Senate, but he has prac tically declared himself for Gorman, hav ing announced that he will not be a candi date for the minority leadership, but will support Gorman as soon as the Marylander returns to the Senate. GOVERNMENTAL HYPOCRISY. German Socialist's Characterisation of Meat Prohibition Bill. BERLIN, April 16. Herr Antrick, So cialist, alluded to the prohibition of meats prepared with boraclc acid before the Reichstag tariff committee as a piece of governmental hypocrisy, and said the Americans were right In pronouncing It a hygienic humbug. He cited the opinion of a German chemical society to the ef fect that this prohibition was unjustifi able. Herr Antrick concluded by saying: "Such measures can only Jead to a tariff war." Count Von Posadowsky-Wehner said, in defense of the Ministry, that the govern ment could only depend upon technical advice; that American views could not be considered, and that the Interests of domestic meat producers could not be re garded as the deciding voice in the mat ter. He said the government was sup ported unanimously by the imperial health office and the health council, whose opin ions must be respected. The foregoing remarks were an out growth of the discussion of the meat duties. After the adoption of the Agra rian Increases Count von Posadowsky- Wehner again plainly said that the meat and cattle amendments were abso lutely unacceptable to the government. At this stage of the deliberations, Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, inquired why It was necessary further to discuss the bill If the majority was unable to come to an agreement with the government. Herr Helm, the Centrist leader, and Dr. Paaohe, the National-Liberal leader, also regarded further discussion to be useless If the Centrists adhered to the impossible increases. BILL LOST IN-THE SENATE (Continued from First Page.) the working-men would be abundantly protected. Hanna then turned his attention to the connection of J. R. Dunn, Chinese Inspec tor, with the bill, and created some sur prise by saying, abruptly, that, "knowing this man as I do, I here state that Mr. Dunn is an unreliable witness and ad viser." He then went on to eay that both ex Secretary Gage-and ex-Assistant Secretary Vanderlip had assured him they never had advised with Dunn concerning the bill, and that neither of them would consider his advice worth having. Furthermore, he said, the present secretary had assured him that he was not in accord with all parts of the pending bill. It was also true that the Secretary of State had never been consulted with reference to the bill, notwithstanding that the treaty with China Is Involved, and regardless of the fact that a new commercial treaty between the United States and China Is now under consideration by the represen tatives of the two countries. He referred to the address of Lodge on this bill, quot. lng the statement of the latter to the defeated. 7 to 6. Those who voted for the amendments were: Burton, Dolliver, "Hoar. Piatt (N. T.), Proctor, Quay. Vest. Piatt (Conn.) then offered his substitute, extending the present law. He eald the United States was committed to the policy of exclusion, and 'any suggestion that Senators opposing the bill were seeking to break down the exclusion policy was gratuitous and without foundation, but the pending bill was unnecessary; it was offensive to China at a time when, we sought he good-will, and it improperly enacted treaty regulations as law. An amendment by Mallory, adding to the Piatt substitute the sailors' clause, was defeated, 29 to 50. An amendment by Cockrell that the pro visions of the substitute should not apply to Chinese coming to participate In expo sitions, etc, was adopted. Patterson moved an amendment to the substitute, designed to apply the exclu sion provisions to the Philippines. Lodge pointed out that the substitute already applied the same protection to the Philippines as to the mainland ter ritory of the United States. Patterson withdrew his amendment, being satisfied that the substitute already covered the Philippines. Mitchell (Or.) offered as an amendment to the substitute several sections of the original bill providing for taking out Chi nese certificates in our Insular possessions.

Hubbard, president of the New York Cotton Exchange, appeared before the House committee on commerce today and argued In favor of the passage of the Corliss bill to Increase the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr. Hubbard gave some Interesting Il lustrations of the discrimination of rates on shipments of cotton partly by water to domestic and foreign ports, and con tended that the commission should have the same powers over water as over land rates of transportation.

It May Be Made Better for Pacific Coast in Conference. WASHINGTON, April 16. The Pacific Coast men are very much disappointed because they did not secure the adoption of the Mltchell-Kahn bill in the Senate just as It was passed by the House. It Is realized now that had the House passed the bill as adopted by the committee on foreign affaire, without attaching the drastic provisions which all the Pacific Coast men Insisted upon, a similar bill might have passed the Senate. The long debate In the Senate had a great deal to do with changing the views of Senators who were at first in favor of a rigid ex clusion law. It is also probable that the labor organizations overreached them selves in peremptorily demanding of Sen ators the support of the bill, and threat ening them with opposition if -they did not accede. While this may not have driven Senators into the opposition camp, it had considerable effect In arousing re sentment of dictation and strenuous op position to the committee's bill. It was rather surprising that at the last moment the parties divided so nearly equally, as Dnly the Pacific Coast Republican Sen ators voted against the Piatt substitute, and only a few Democrats voted with the majority. Senator Mitchell feels that be made a good, strong fight for his bill, and did the very beet he could to get it through. When he saw that the Piatt substitute was likely to prevail he secured the adop lon of some amendments which he thinks, and the Senate evidently thought, greatly improved the substitute. There is a pos sibility now that when the bill gets In conference It will be put In better shape for the Pacific Coast Interests at least such is the hope. The only obstacle to this Is the fact that tho House conferees will no doubt be anxious to accept the Senate bill, although they will be com pelled to Insist, at least fpr a little while, upon their own measure. NORTHWEST GETS MORE. intendments in Sundry Civil BlU as Passed by Senate. WASHINGTON, April 16.

"I am sorry," be said, "that Senator Lodge has such, an unfavorable opinion of the worklngmen of the country, and as a friend of that class I resent this characterization of their motives." Continuing, he said he did not believe that thelabo'ring men of the United States would threaten Senators in this way if their judgment was not entirely In ac cord with their own on any given subject. He maintained that Senators had a perfect right to vote their Judgment without being charged that their votes were in fluenced by dollars or biased by politics. Fairbanks said there had not been a disposition on the part of opponents of the bill to point out the demerits and propose amendments as much as to tear down the entire measure that had been constructed with so much care. Votes on. Amendment. ) Fairbanks closed before 1 o'clock, the time set for voting to begin, and Lodge asked for a vote on the amendment strik ing out the provision prohibiting the em ployment of Chinese sailors on American ships, known as the seamen's clause. Several Senators desired to be heard on the bill, and the amendment served as a text for further discussion. Stewart sup ported the Lodxre amendment. Quay expressed his dlsBent from the "general howl" against the Chinese as such. Ho" thought tho bill should be much amended. He said he would be In favor ,of excluding all Immigrants as well as Chinese, for a term of Ave years. Mallory opposed the amendment, and explained the necessity for the seamen's clause as a measure of protection to American sailors. , Elklns said the seamen's clause was a discrimination against American shipping and in favor of foreign shipping. As to the general question, he said, we must excltfde the Chinese, or they will exclude yus. But ne considered tne mil as opposca to our treaty with China. Patterson supported the seamen's clause. Lodge's amendment to strike out the seamen's clause prevailed, 47 to 29. Carmack proposed an amendment, ap plying the exclusion to Chinese "not citi zens of the United States," and It was agreed to. The purpose of the amend ment Is to allow Chinese born in the United States or Chinese who had be come citizens to return to the United States If at any time they should leave the country. Dillingham proposed an amendment ad mitting "not to exceed five good-faith rep resentatives of each regularly established Chinese wholesale house." Dillingham explained that the amendment was in the Interest of the growing commerce be tween the countries and to bring Chinese buyers to this country. Teller opposed the amendment as vicious and as opening the door to evasion of the exclusion laws. Tho amendment was lost, 13 to 67. Quay proposed an amendment that the exclusion shall not apply to "Chinese Christians or Chinese who assisted in the defense of the foreign Legations or the Pel Tang Cathedral in Pekln in 1900." In explaining the amendment, Quay paid a tribute to the Christian religion as the basis of civilization. Several Senators spoke against the amendment on the ground that It would lead to evasion of the law. Dolliver referred In glowing ferms to the heroiem of Minister and Mrs. Conger residents of Iowa, during the siege or Pekin, and he expressed the belief that some adequate recognition should be glvenfby this Government to those who aided the American legatloners during those days of peril. That part of Quay's amendment admit ting Chinese Christians was lost without dTvieion on an aye and no vote; the ad mission of Chinese soldiers who assisted Americans daring the siege of Pekln was and an amendment for that purpose was unexpectedly carried by tho close vote of 41 to 40. The amendment Incorporates section 12 of the original bill as a part of the substitute, and provides the methods by which Chinese residing In the Insular territory of the United States (Hawaii excepted) shall take out certificates of Identification, etc. Piatt Substitute Adopted. The decisive vote was then taken on the oubstltute proposed by Piatt (Conn.), ex tending the present exclusion laws, and this prevailed, 48 to 33, as follows: AYES 48.

Before the final vote was taken on the passage of the substitute bill. Hoar gave notice that he would vote against the measure, and In this connection he made an earnest protest against the principle of exclusion. He believed that everything In the way of exclusion could be accom plished without involving the principle of striking at a particular class or race. Hold ing, as he did, that every soul had Its lights, and that these rights were not dependent on color or race, he recorded hl3 protest against the measure. The bill then was pasred, 76 to 1, Hoar being the only one recording himself in the negative. Lodge secured an agreement making the Philippine civil government bill the un finished business of the Senate, and after a brief executive session the Senate at 6 o'clock adjourned.

Tho friends of the Cuban reciprocity bill won a sub stantial victory In the House today by carrying a motion to close general da bate Friday at 3 o'clock. The vote was 153 to 123. Thirty-three -Republicans voted against the motion, but this de fection was off-set by 32 Democrats, who voted with the great body of the Repub licans for it. Tho strength of the Re publican opposition to the bill, Judging by this vote, has decreased six since the vote was taken on the motion to go Into committee of the whole to consider the bill when tho vote stood 167 to 80. The de bate today was featureless. The speak ers -were Roberts (Rep. Mass.), Patter son (Dem. Tenn.) and Cochran (Dem. Mo.) for the bill, and Bartlett (Dem. Ga.), Corliss (Rep. Mich.), Broussard (Dem. La.), Bell (Pop. Colo.) and H. C Smith (Rep. Mich.) against It. The Proceedings. There was a very Interesting situation In the House at the opening of the ses sion today. Payne, the majority leader, again attempted to secure an agree ment to close general debate on tho,Cu ban bill at 3 o'clock Friday. After some sparring, WlHIams (Dem. Miss.) ob jected, whereupon Payne placed hi3 proposition In the form of a motion, and upon that motion demanded the previous question. On tho division upon the Drevious question the Republican op ponents of the bill voted with the Demo crats, nine-tenths of whom, opposed tho demand. While the House was dividing, Wil liams withdrew his objection to the ar rangement suggested by Payne, but Jones (Rep. Wash.) immediately re newed It, and tho division proceeded The demand for tho previous question was sustained. 103 to 99, but on a ris ing vote on Payne's montlon to close de bate on Friday, the opponents of tho motion won, 105 to 120. , The announcement of the result gave the Republican leaders a surprise and caused some excitement. Watson (Ind.) tho Republican whip, demanded the ayea and noes. The demand was sustained by the friends of the bill and the roll was called. The voting was followed with Intense Interest. While the vote was proceeding, several conferences were held on the Republi can side. Tawney (Rep. Minn.), one of the leaders of the opposition, had agreed with Payne yesterday, after conferences with his friends, that there should be no opposition to the motion to close de bate, and he was busily engaged in pursuadlng his friends to keep the agree ment. A number of Democratic friends of the bill broke away from their leaders and the result was that Payne's motion was carried easily, 153 to 123. Thirty three Republicans voted against the mo tion, Including Cushman (Rep. Wash.) and Jones (Rep. Wash.). Thirty-two Democrats voted for the motion. It was agreed that tomorrow and Fri day the Houso should meet at 11 o'clock. Roberts (Rep. Mass.), the first speaker today, supported the bill, taking oc casion, under the latitude allowed for debate, to make a vigorous argument In favor of an amendment to the Dingley law to place hides on the free list. Bartlett (Dem. Ga.) opposed the bill and in the course of his remarks criti cised Richardson, the minority leader, for his failure to file his views on the pending measure. He declared that if Demlcrats were to support Republican measures, the ranking minority member of the ways and means committee should bo able to furnish good reasons for such a course. Corliss (Rep. Mich.), in opposing the bill, said it did not embrace the first principle of reciprocity. Broussard (Dem. La.) made an impas sioned speech against the bill, which, he said, would ruin the cane-sugar industry of Louisiana and transfer It to Cuba. Broussard Is a sugar planter and said that this year. In view of this prospective legislation, he had thrown his cane seed away and planted his fleld3 In rice. Bell (Pop. Colo.) also opposed the bill, arguing that it was utterly indefensible from any standpoint, In that it proposed to take the tariff off raw material and leave untouched the tariff on the refined product. He criticised severely the at tltudo of the Democrats toward the bill. He said they taunted their Republican adversaries with supporting a measure that was 20 per cent Democratic, for getting that in advocating It themselves they were accepting a measure that was SO per cent Republican. H. S. Smith (Rep. Mich.) closed the do bate for the day with a strong speech against the bill. If the pending bill had originated on the Democratic sldB, he said, where it should have originated, the Republican leaders, Payne, Dalzell and Grosvenor, would have ridiculed It out of the House.

In a recent letter to The Peruna Medlclno Company, at Columbus, Ohio, written from Washington, D. C, Senator Roach says: K "Persuaded by a friend I have used Peruna as a tonic, and I am glad to testify that It has greatly helped me In strength, vigor and appetite. I have been advised by friends that It Is remarkably effi cacious as a cure for the armost universal complaint of catarrh." W. N.

Maklnson, Contractor and Builder. pounds, and I believe It is Peruna that has given me such good health." E. J. Maklnson. As a result of the changeable cli mate, catarrh has become one of the most prevalent and universal diseases known to man. Nearly one-third of the people of the United States are afflicted with catarrh In some of its many phases and stages. Add to this the fact that catarrh rapidly tends to become fixed or chronic, also the fur ther fact that It is capable of produc ing a great many other diseases, and we begin to realize the true nature of this dread disease. So formidable has catarrh become that in any city or town of any size numerous doctors are to be found who make the treatment of catarrh a spe cialty. Of course, a great deal of good Is accomplished In this "nay, but as yet a comparatively small number of the people can avail themselves of this treatment because of the great ex pense necessarily attached to It. To all such people Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, comes as a great boon. Not only Is It more successful 'n curing catarrh than the treatment of the catarrh specialists, but It is within the reach of every person In this land. Peruna can be bought at any drug store, and Is a remedy with out equal for catarrh In all form3, coughs, colds, bronchitis, consump tion, and all climatic diseases of Win ter. Peruna is not a guess, nor an experi ment; it is an absolute, scientific cer- . talnty. Peruna cures catarrh wher ever located. Peruna has no substi tutesno rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Let no one persuade you that some other remedy will do nearly as well. There Is no other sjstemlc rem edy for catarrh but Peruna. Mr. Byron J. Kirkhuff, attorney, counsell o r - a t- law writes from C91 Gates ave., Brooklyn, N Y., the following: "I have used your Peruna for catarrh and find Its curative powers all you recommend. It cured me of a very bad attack and though I suffered for years I feel en tirely relieved, nnd If It will benefit others, I gladly give it my indorsement." B. J. Kirkhuff. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of jour case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
