In the Senate today a resolution offered by Stewart (New) was adopted, directing the com mittee on the District of Columbia to make Inquiry regarding the wholesale and retail prices of coal as the result of fail ure to ship to "Washington, or whether there Is any lack of prompt and efficient distribution among the people. The resolution of Vest, directing the finance committee to prepare and report & bill removing the duty on coal, went over until tomorrow on motion of Aldrlch, Vest not being present today. The militia bill then was taken up and Mallory spoke in opposition to the pro vision regarding a reserve force of trained men. In the course of his remarks, a dis cussion arose, participated in by Tillman, "Warren, Foraker, Spooner and Clay, over the construction to be put upon the sec tion, the Democrats contending that tho provision put into the hands, of the Pres ident powers belonging to the states. Quay as au Objector. At 2 o'clock the militia bill was dis placed by the statehood bill. Beveridge then made the point of no quorum, ne cessitating a rollcall. A quorum being found to be present, Beveridge sent to the desk and had read a number of res olutions favoring single statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Quay criticised the resolutions, and said the single statehood bill to which they re ferred was not before the Senate, having been withdrawn, and therefore they had acted unlntelllgently. "You have done away with your bill," Bald he, addressing Beveridge. He said parties attending the conven tion which drew up the resolution had masqueraded as a representative conven tion of the people of Oklahoma, whereas it was a convention of the advocates of the Nelson, or single statehood bill. Responding, Beveridge declared that the observations of the sub-committee which visited Oklahoma and Indian Territory were that a vast majority of the people favored single statehood. Bate (Tenn.) had read the resolutions of the Five Civilized Tribes, opposing statehood with Oklahoma. A discussion followed regarding the character of the people constituting the Five Civilized Tribes, in the course of which Tillman Inquired how the pure blood white men got title to so much In dian land. Tillman on Matrimony. "Some stealing has been 'done some where," said he, "and I would like to know how it happened." He later amused the Senate by Interro gating Beveridge regarding "what became of the men who might have married In dian women." , Beveridge responded that he had not gone Into the matrimonial phase of the question. After further -discussion, Nelson re sumed his remarks in opposition to the omnibus statehood bill. Nelson had not concluded when, at 4 P. M.t the Senate went into executive session and adjourned shortly thereafter. CONSIDERS CUBAN TREATY. Senate Committee "Will Hear Beet Sugar Men Against It. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The Cuban rec iprocity treaty was considered at some length today by the Senate committee on foreign relations, but action upon It was postponed in order to afford an opportun ity for the presentation of the views of the beet-eugar industry. It Is probable that epeclal meetings will be held on Friday for that purpose. There was general exchange of views upon the treaty, of a nature to lead to the con clusion that the treaty will be favorably reported, and without any great delay. Confirmed by Senate.

Fire In United "Verde Is Out. JEROME, Ariz., Jan. 7. The mine fire that has been threatening to destroy the great "United Verde copper mine, at this place, for the past four months, was dis covered to be out today. The method adopted to fight the fire was to force into tho mine carbonic acid gas, which dis placed the oxygen and finally smothered the fire. Mrs M.J. Brink FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH A SERIOUS MISTAKE WHICH THOUSANDS ARE MAKING. The first stage of catarrh is what Is commonly known as "catching cold." It may be In the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning la sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and considerable fever, or it may be eo slight as to not hinder a person from his usual business. In per haps a majority of cases little or no at tention Is paid to the first stage of ca tarrh, and hence It is that nearly one half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglect a cold is to invite chronic catarrh. As eoon as any one discovers the first symptoms of catching cold he should at once begin the use of Peruna REDEEM HAWAIIAN COIN HOUSE PASSES BILL FOR EI- CHAXGE OF 3IOXEY. Silver of -the Inland Republic to Be Retired Within Two Years and Received in United Stntes. The session of the House yesterday lasted a little more than two hours. The Senate bill for the redemption of the silver coinage of the Hawaiian Islands and Its rccolnase into United States coin was passed after an hour's debate. It provides for the redemption of sil ver coins by belnc received either in Hawaii or the United States in payment of dues. Standard ellver coins of the United States may be exchanged for coin ot Hawaii at their face value. Ha waiian silver certificates shall be re deemed before January 1. 1905. and thereafter cannot lawfully circulate as money. Several bills of minor Importance also were pasted. The Philippines constabu lary bill was made a special order for tomorrow. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. At the opening session of the House today, Cooper (Wis.), chairman of the fnsular committee, asked: unanimous consent that the bill to pro mote the efficiency of the Philippine con stabulary be made a special prder for tomorrow- The request was agreed to, with the understanding that two hours be al lowed for general debate. A Senate bill to refund certain tonnage taxes also was passed. A resolution was adopted which called on the Secretary of War for the reports upon the operation of the law of Febru ary 2. 1901, which prohibits the sale of beer and light wines at post exchanges. The House then went Into committee of the whole and proceeded to the considera tion of the Senate Hawaiian coinage bill. The bill was passed without division. A Senate bill was passed to grant the town of Juneau, Alaska, title to lands i now used for school purposes.

APPROPRIATION FOR ARMY. House Committee Proposes to Spend Seventy-Two Million. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The House committee on military affairs today con cluded the preparation of the Army ap propriation bill, which will carry an ap propriation of 572,538,337. about 5o.030.000 less than the estimate. The appropriation last year was 531,216,636. Provision Is made for the mustering out of the Porto Rican Provisional Regiment on July 1 next, the soldiers to receive two months traveling pay; also that soldiers qualifying as expert riflemen shall receive 51 extra pay per month; also to authorize the Secretary of War to accept 510,000 from the Daughters of the Revolution for the erection of a memorial building for the physical and moral welfare of the en listed men at such military posts as the Secretary of War may direct. Some of the principal items in the bill to be reported are as follows: Pay of officers, $5,OGO,0& pay of enlisted men, 59,000.000; Hospital Corps, 5750,400; pay of retired officers, 52,171.550; pay of retired enlisted men, 5724,327; additional pay for officers and enlisted men serving on foreign stations, 5700,000; Philippine scouts. 5670.160; subsistence. 57.000.000; quar termaster supplies, 55,000.000; incidental ex penses. Quartermaster Department, 52,200. 000; barracks and quarters, 54,750,000; bar racks and quarters in Philippines. 5500,000; transportation, 515,700,000; clothing and according to directions on the bottle, and the cold Is sure to pass away without leaving any bad effects. Unless thlfl Is done the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage or ca tarrh, which Is making eo many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an un known disease. Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 57 Baesett street, Albany, N. Y., writes: "I have, always dreaded unsettled weather because of my extreme liabil ity to catch cold, when a catarrhal trouble would quickly develop through my entire system, which it would take weeks to drive away. I am thankful to say that since I have taken PE RUNA I do not have any reason to dread this any more. If I have been at all exposed to the damp, wet or cold weather, I take a dcee or two of PERUNA, and It throws out any hint of sickness from my system." Miss Elizabeth Uber. Mrs. M. J. Brink, No. 820 Michigan ave nue. St. Joseph. Mich., writes: "This past Winter during the wet and cold weather I caught a sudden and se vere cold, which developed a catarrhal condition through my entire system, and so affected my general health that I was completely broken down, and became nervous and hysterical and unfit to su pervise my home. My physician pre scribed for me, but somehow his med icine did me no good. Reading of PE RUNA I decided to try It After I had taken but three bottles I found myself in fine health." Mrs. M.'J. Brink. Sibyl A. Hadley, "ifTilaln street. Hunt ington, Ind., writes: "Laet Winter after getting my feet wet I began to cough, which gradually grew worse until my throat was sore and raw. Ordinary rem edies did not help me and cough medi cines nauseated me. Reading an adver tisement of what PERUNA could do, I camp equipment, 54,000,000; ordnance stores, J825.26S; for manufacture, repairing arid Issuing arms at National Armories, 51,700,000. FAVORS ARBITRATION TREATY Result of Pan-American Conference Reported 'to Senate. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The Senate committee on Foreign Relations today au thorized Senator Lodge to report favor ably the general International arbitration treaty recommended by the Pan-American conference held at the City of Mexico last Winter. The treaty is on the lines of The Hague treaty, but applies only to the republics of the Western Hemisphere. The opinion was quite general that favorable action upon the agreement at this time by the United States would have a good effect upon the settlement of the differ ences between Venezuela and the Euro pean creditors of that nation. By the treaty the contracting parties obligate themselves to submit to the de cision of arbitrators all controversies that may exist among them and which diplo macy cannot settle, provided that in the exclusive Judgment of any of the Interest ed nations the controversies do not affect the national honor. The treaty provides that when both parties to a controversy can agree to refer the question In dispute to The Hague tribunal, it shall be so re ferred, but that otherwise it shall be re ferred to a special court. In case a spe cial tribunal is created it is to consist of three members. There la also a provision to resort to mediation In case of a conflict which promises to lead to war. and in this con nection the right to offer mediation is specifically set forth. Tho provision on this point is as follows: "The right to offer good offices or me diation belongs to powers who are strang ers to the conflict, even during the course of hostilities. The exercise of this, right shall never be regarded by either of 'the contending parties as an unfriendly act. The part of the mediator consists In reconciling the opposing claims and ap peasing the feelings of resentment which may have arisen between the states at variance. AThe functions of the mediator are at an end when once It Is declared, either, by one of the parties to the dispute or by the mediator himself, that the methods of conciliation proposed by him are not ac cepted." A commission of inquiry is authorized In disagreements arising on questions of fact. An Interesting fact In connection with the proposition of the" treaty Is that the Venezuelan representative In conference refused, -on instruction from his govern ment, to participate In the formulation of the document TO EXPEDITE TRUST SUITS. Bill Introduced by Hoar and Little flcld Given Them Preference. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Senator Hoar today introduced a second trust bllL It provides especially for the expediting of suits In equity brought under the provi sions of the present anti-trust law. It authorizes the Attorney-General of the United States to file a certificate In any such case pending In any Circuit Court of the United States to the effect that the case Is of general public importance. A copy of the papers in the case Is then to be given to each of the Circuit Judges of the court, and It Is thereupon to be given precedence of any other case and to be arelgned for hearing at the earliest prac ticable moment. Representative LIttlefleld Introduced the same bill in tho House. Tho bill was introduced for the purpose of carrying out the suggestion of Attor ney-General Knox that a special act should be passed to speed cases pending or to be raised under the present anti trust law.

Miss Sarah McGahan, No. 197 3d street, Albany, N. Y., writes: "A few months ago I suffered with a severe attack of influenza,. which nothing seemed to relieve.

Democrats to Orjrnnlre Denver Contest Withdrawn. DENVER, Jan. 7. After six hours, of balloting, during which the division of the vote of the Republican members, who are In the majority, made the election of a Speaker impossible, the lower House of the Fourteenth General Assembly this evening effected a compromise organlza tlon. During the balloting this afternoon the vote stood 17 each for the Wolcott and anti-Wolcott candidates and 31 for the Democratic candidate. Late In the afternoon a combination was formed be tween the anti-Wolcott Republicans and the Democrats, which resulted In the election of J. B. Sanford, of Douglas County, as Speaker; John F. Vivian, of Jefferson County, chief clerk; C. H. Plum mer, of Lake County, sergeant-at-arms. and A. E. Ryons, of Denver, first assist ant sergeant-at arms. All these are anti Wolcott Republicans, except Lyons, who Is a Democrat. It Is said, although the statement is de nied, that the agreement gives the Re publicans practically all the patronage of the House, but assures their scats to the 11 Democratic Representatives from Den ver. It is claimed that the other Demo crats whose election la contested will be unseated, in which case the Republicans will have a majority of one on Joint bal lot. Under present conditions It Is re garded as certain that neither ex-Sen ator E. O. Wolcott nor Senator H. M, Teller can be elected to the United States Senate, and It Is predicted that no elec tlon can be reached at the present ses sion of the Legislature. As soon as the organization was com pleted, the House adjourned until tomor row at 2 o clock. The State Senate met at noon with Lieu tenant-Governor D. C. Coates in the chair. A committee on credentials was appointed. This committee reported that the Secretary of State had given -certlfl cates to 26 Senators, IS as hold-overs and IS elected at the last election. This is one more than the number allowed by the constitution, and the committee asked for more time In which to consider the matter. The Senate thereupon adjourned until tomorrow afternoon. The trouble comes from the redisricting of the state by the last Legislature, which did not take properly Into consideration the hold-overs, and created conflicting dis tricts. FOR C03IPULSORY ARBITRATION. Remedy for Strikes Proposed by Governor Odcll to LeKlsIntnrc. ALBANY. N. Y., Jan. 7. In his message to the Legislature, which convened here today. Governor Odell, In referring to the relations between capital and labor, said "I believe that wherever the necessaries of life are Involved In dispute between era ployero and employes, power should be conferred upon those affected to apply to the courts for relief and that no power should be possessed by either capital or labor to deprive the people of that which Is necessary for their welfare, but that ample authority should be lodged in the Judiciary properly to enforce Its mandates and that such disputes, whenever they arise, should not be permitted to inter fere, with those rights which are para mount and necessary for the well-being of the people. Proper legislation, there foret should be accorded for this arbltra tion, cither by amendment or by enact ment of new lcnislntlon." The franchise tax, the Governor asserts Is inequitable and a source of annoyance and constant litigation. The only way of assessing such corporations, he contends Is upon their earning capacity. Contin uing, the Governor says: "It appears to me that. In providing new revenues, new advantage should be taken of a more liberal mortgage tax and the resumption of privileges which were MORE THAN HALF THE The Copeiand Specialists" never In any statement pub lished by them attempt to frighten or delude the peo ple who may be suffering from chronic diseases. Re peatedly, .however, during the past 10 years, have they issued warnings through the public press upon the start ling prevalence of Catarrhal conditions and tho evils re sulting therefrom. The Copeiand physicians have cured thousands suffer ing from all forms of chron ic disease, which fact has been repeatedly attested to by dwellers In this city and neighborhood, among whom have been people well known throughout the Northwest, as for Instance Captain C. Randall, tho courteous com mander of the O. R. & 'N. steamer Geo. W. Elder, on the Portland-San Francisco run. Captain Randall's in tegrity Is beyond dispute. and his warm commendation ot tne copeiana treatment will speak for Itself.

Tho Governor recommends drastic leg islation, if need be, to remedy the deplor able atata of affairs, which, he says, ex ists In the police force of New York City. Concerning the Tsatlonal Guard ana labor unions the Governor says: There have been Instances in the state when employers have discharged employes because of their connection with tho Na tional Guard, notably in the case resulting from the Brooklyn railroad strike. Cer taln labor unions now deny their privileges i tlon doing business within the state should because of membership In the National be required to file an annual report with Guard. This la a blow at constitutional the Secretary of State to enible Interest government. The law, at present, Is in- ed parties to obtain all proper lnforma- adequate to meet this condition and It should be vour duty to correct It by amendment. I believe that whatever tends to lessen the patriotism of our people la out of harmony with republican govern ment." WILL FIGHT THE MERGER. Van Sant Declares Unending Hostil ity to Northern Securities. ST. PAUL, Jan. 7. In the presence of both Houses of the Legislature. Samuel R. "Van Sant was today sworn In by Chief Justice Stuart for his second term as Gov ernor of Minnesota. He then read hl3 bi ennial message to the joint assembly.

It may be that the courts will decide that the laws of one state can be evaded or vio lated by means of a corporation organized under the laws of another state; if so, all the benefits of 'moro perfect union' so earnestly sought by the framers of the Constitution and so much desired by all law-abiding citizens, will not be realized.

In his an nual message to the General Assembly to day. Governor Chamberlain suggested that every corporation organized under the laws of Connecticut and any cornora- tlon. "No law," he said, "should find a place upon the statute books of the state which permits the creation of stocks, bonds or other forms of securities, except they represent the cash or full capital value.
