VEST HAS DOUBTS
Afraid His Free-Coal Resolu
tion Will Be Buried.
HE HITS HARD AT ALDRICH
Q-Uoten Rhode Island's Leprlinluture
AKnlnHt It Senator DlnfrJcy'it In
tention In KIxlnK Dntlen Are
Asalu BronKlit Into Question.
A lively debate occurred In the Sen
ate yesterday between Aldrlch, "Veal
and CarmacU. when the first named en
deavored to recure a postponement of
the Vest resolution requiring the com
mittee on finance to report a bill re
moving the duty on coal. Aldrlch an
nounced that there were strong hopes
of action being taken elsewhere with
the view of removing the duty on coa.
The proposition was not acceptable to
Vctt. who expressed the opinion that to
allow the refolution "to go into the un-crtain-
and nebulous future" would
mean its defeat.
Nelfon continued his remarks in op
position to the omnlbup statehood bill,
and a large number of -private pension
bills were passed by unanimous consent.
At 5:10 1 M. the Senate adjourned
out of respect to the memory of the
late Ilepreeniatlve Tongue, of Oregon.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. The Vest res
olution directing the finance committee
to report a bill putting: coal on the. free
list came up soon after the Senate mot.
AHrich announced that there were strong:
hopes that 'action with respect to a re
moval of the duty on anthracite coal will
be taken elsewhere, and he asked that the
resolution go over. Vest vigorously ob
jected, saying he had no assurance that
anything will be done In any other place.
"Circumstantial evidence." he said, "Is
against any such assumption. ' No action
has been taken, and no suspicion of any
action has been seen anywhere, and,
therefore, under existing conditions to al
low this resolution to go into the uncer
tain and nebulous future would be equiv
alent to Its defeat."
Vest referred to last Thursday's debate
on the subject, and declared that the only
partisan feature of it came from Mr. Al
drlch. In all his experience, he asserted,
he had never seen such unanimity of pub
lic sentiment on any subject. He called
attention to the action of the Legislature
of Rhode Island, January 8, In unanimous
ly voting for the removal of duty on coal,
and had read newspaper reports com
menting on the action. Mr. Vest said he
did not want to embarrass the Senator
from Rhode Island, who was amply able
to defend himself, but his desire was to
place before the Senate proof of the senti
ment for free coal now existing.
Vest again reverted to what he called
his "unfortunate reference to Dingley,"
which has been so vigorously resented,
sent to the desk and had read a letter
from Congressman Fleming, of Georgia,
Inclosing one from ex-Representative
King, of Utah, dealing with a conversa
tion with Mr. Dingley at the time the
Dingley bill was under consideration in
Congress. In this, Dingley Is said to j
have apprehended changes In the bill '
which were necessary to obtain foreign
markets for American goods, and showed
that the trend of Mr. Dlngley's mind was
in that direction, and, therefore, bore out
the statement contained in the Philadel
phia Bulletin and repeated in the Wash
ington Post.
Carmack. of Tennessee, charged that
reciprocity had been strangled by protec
tion. "It has been murdered In cold blood,"
said he. Beneficiaries of protection the
protected manufacturers and the protect
ed trusts he said, have appropriated to
themselves every particle of the tariff du
ties provided in the Dingley act.
Aldrlch said the remarks of the Senator
from Missouri and the Senator from Ten
nessee only confirmed his former state
ment that the resolution was for no other
purpose than to discuss questions outside
the coal question. Referring to the news
paper report which Vest had had read,
Aldrlch said the people of Rhode Island
fully understood his position on the tariff
question.
"There has been no disguise In the
past," he said, "and there will be none in
the future as to that position."
Aldrlch then took up the statement at
tributed to Mr. Dingley regarding re
ciprocity, and declared that the. bill was
in print and had been prepared nearly a
month before the conversation is alleged
to have taken place. The resolution went
over until tomorrow, when Aldrlch will
continue hiB remarks.
A House bill was passed incorporating
tlje Society of the Army of Santiago, hut
the vote was subsequently reconsidered
and the bill ordered recommitted.
Mitchell presented the report of the sub
committee, of which he is chairman, on
the affairs of Hawaii.
At 2 o'clock the statehood hill was tak
en up. Nelson continued his remarks In
opposition to the omnibus statehood bill,
and had not concluded when, at 4 o'clock,
by unanimous consent, a large number of
unobjected pension bills on the calendar
were passed.
Mitchell (Or.) announced the death in
this city yesterday of Representative
Tongue, of Oregon, and offered the usual
resolutions expressing the sorrow of the
Senate. The president pro tern, appointed
Messrs. Mitchell, Perkins (Cal.). Dolllver,
Turner and Dubois a committee on the
part of the Senate to accompany the body
to Oregon, and the Senate at 5:16 ad
journed until tomorrow.

The resolution to investigate the coal

of Henry of Texas from the committee
on insular affairs, and the appointment
of Robinson of Indiana to fill the va
cancy. Grosvenor (O.), from the committee on
rules, called up the resolution providing

on merchant marine and fisheries into
the coal situation, and it was adopted
without debate.

death of his colleague. Tongue, and of
fered the customary resolutions of re
gret, which were adopted. The Speaker
appointed the following committees to
attend the funeral services: Moody (Or.).
Burton (O.), Payne (N. T.), Bishop
(Mich.), Davidson (Wis.), McLochland
(Cal.). Ransdell (La.). Needham (Cal.),
Bellamy (N. C). Southerland (Utah), and

Compel IVlt nee sea to Tentify.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. Senator Stew
art, of Nevada, who Is conducting the coal
Investigation before the committee of the
District of Columbia, today Introduced a
resolution providing that the committee

companies, and to secure testimony from
dealers In the city who have refused to
answer questions. Senator Stewart in

gramme for caucus approval. It Is known
that a majority of the Republican Sena
tors are opposed to the omnibus state
hood bill. but. as a minority of the Re

tided to a friend that he never felt In
first-class fighting trim until his nose
began to bleed. The severe Jolt that he
received yesterday apparently had no
depressing effect on him, although It
may have started blood.
The Preston men apparently realize
that they lost a few points in the Speak
ership fight through lack of efficient or
ganization, and to guard against any
more breaks from this cause, tho King
County candidate today rounded up his
forces and appointed Representative
Lewis as an executive heid.
The King County delegation went into
caucus this afternoon and after a two
hours' session agreed not to enter a gen
eral caucus on the Senatorial question un.
loss such action was satisfactory to the
entire delegation, and further agreed that
none of tho delegation should go into
caucus without the consent of Preston.
Prcfton's Chances Not Brighter.
This ties up enough votes to prevent a
caucus, but It does not seem to materi
ally brighten th"e chances of Preston.
For this, reason the belief Is expressed
In some quarters that the action taken at
the caucus was more for the purpose of
helping the commission bill than to ren
der any assistance to Preston. At heart
the King County delegation is not In
favor of the" bill; but they are so anxious
to land Preston in this, that they have
taken the bill along with him, simply
because they were unable to separate the
pair. The Inability of Preston to hold
his forces together in the Speakership
contest has weakened him outside of
the King County delegation, but so long
as he can keep his own delegation tied
up, as he now has them, he may. prevent
the election of another candidate, even
though he can do nothing for himself.
Some of his opponents profeas to see
In this latest move the fine hand of the
Governor. They argue that McBride Is
willing to sacrifice everything else for tho
sake of succeeding' with his pet measure,
and that If Preston can be convinced that
it would he impossible to elect himself
he might gladly turn his pledged delega
tion over to McBride for use in getting
the commission bill throughN Preston's
friends have frequently made the asser
tion that their candidate was so strongly
in sympathy with the Governor that if it
became necessary for Preston to retire
in .order to, save the commission bill ho
would do so. Mr. Preston, however, has
not authorized euch statements, and still
believes that he has a good show to win
out. His support, however, la less sub
stantial than that of his leading oppo
nent, Mr. Ankeny, for, outside of a por
tion of his King County delegation, which'
Is pledged to go to the last ditch with
him, a lack of sincerity In his success is
expressed by men who will vote for him
for a few ballots at least. The McBride
commission blU Is generally credited as
the cause of tnls weakness. As one of
his friends expressed it, "either the Sen
atorial fight or the railroad fight alone
would have been a sufficiently large un
dertaking to require aU of the energy and
eklll of McBride and Preston, and. when
'they tackled the two simultaneously, they
were unable to keep both going to -the
best advantage." The friends of the
commission bill still express great confi
dence of their success, hut there will need
to be considerable change in the attitude
of the Senate toward the measure before
it will get past that body.
The prompt, organization of the House
today insures a ballot for Senator next
Tuesday, but, unless the matter is set
tled in caucus in the meantime, an elec
tion Is hardly probable at that time.
There are 0 Republicans and 14 Demo
crats In the House, and 33 Republicans
and 7 Democrats In the Senate. It thus
requires 69 votes to elect on Joint ballot,
while 57 votes would be required for a
caucus nomination, there being 113 Repub
licans. The Preston men lay claim to
from to 55 votes, and the Ankeny men
about the same, while John L. Wilson has
the r'Tr.alndcr. The maximum claims of
the leaders In the race do not leave
eneugn otes-to do Wilson any good, and
a readjustment of estimates Is necessary.
As matters now stand, Wilson will prob
ably get S to 10 votes on the first ballot.
Until the truth Is handled less recklessly
around the Senatorial headquarters. It is
Impossible to determine exactly how the
remainder of the Republican votes will be

"In Mr. Tongue's death Oregon has
met with a loss that will take years to

conceded by all. Bis prominence on
House committees was the result of
years of hard service, and cannot be
gained in a day or a month, but was
the result or years of close applica

Liver ills
DR. RADWAT & CO., New York:
Dear Sir? I have been sick for nearly two
years, and havo been doctoring with some of
the most expert doctors of the United States:
I have been bathing and drinking hot water at
the Hot Springs. Ark., but it seemed every
thing failed J.0 do me good. After I saw your
advertisement I thought I would try your pills,
and have nearly used two boxes; been taking
two at bedtime and one after breakfast, and
they have done me more good than anything
else I have ever used. My trouble has been
with the liver. My skin and eyes were all yel
low I had a sleepy, drowsy feeling: felt like a
drunken man; pain right above the navel, like
as if it were bile on top of the stomach. My
bowels wero costive. My mouth and tongue
sore most of the time. - Appetite fair, but food
would not digest, but settle heavy on my stom
ach, and some few mouthfuls of food come up
again. I could only eat light food that digests
easily. Please send "Book of Advice." Re
