FIGHTS BOGUS CLAIMS.
But Payne Only Defeats Three Out
of Thirteen.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. S. The House
epent practically the whole day on the
claims bills coming over from last week.
Payne, the floor leader of the majority,
fought them all. but succeeded In- de
feating only throe bills. After the claims
measures were disposed of, general debate
on the postofflce appropriation bl)l was
resumed, and Robb (Mo.) addressed the
House on the trust question.
Under tho order made last Saturday, the
13 claim bills favorably acted upon In
committee of the whole Friday, but not
disposed of, were taken up. Payne,
the Republican leader, who opposed the
bills In committee of the whole, attacked
the first one, which provided for the pay
ment of two years' pay and allowances
(about $7000) to the widow of Charles B.
Goldsborough, on assistant surgeon in the
Marine Hospital service, who died of
blood poisoning contracted In the service.
He opposed It on the ground that It
would establish a bad precedent, one
tending in the direction of a civil pension
list.
"Are there not now 1000 or more such
superannuated Government clerks practi
cally a civil pension list?' asked Hep
bum. "There may be many clerks who are
not fully earning their salary." replied
Payne, "but it is not the fault of Con
gress. It is the fault of the executive
branch of the Government."
The bill was defeated, 49 to 57.
Payne characterized the next bill, which
was to pay Joseph W. Parish the balance
alleged to be due on a contract for the
delivery of 3,000 tons of ice to the Army
In 1E3 (some $300,000) as the "most bare
faced caso which would be presented to
the House today," and he hoped for some
time to come.
Graff, in charge of the bill, reply
ing to Payne, charged him with raising
tho cry last Friday that the Treasury
was being looted and yet being unable
after Investigation to find a valid reason
for opposing S6 of the 49 bills acted upon
that day.
The bill was passed. 100 to SS.
The bills to pay the widow of Samuel
A. Muhlman. one of the victims of tho
Ford Theater disaster, $3000. and to pay
George C Allison, ex-englneer At the
Capitol, $5000 for expenses Incurred in de
fending himself against the charge of
murder, were defeated.
The general debate on the postofflce a p.
propriatlon bill was resumed, and Robb
addressed the House on the trust ques
tion. At the conclusion of his remarks
the House at 5:06 P. M. adjourned.
.REPORT OX CANAL TREAT V.
Morgan 1V1!P Continue Ills Fight
Seirun In Committee.
"WASHINGTON, Teb. 3. The Panama
Canal treaty was reported to the Senate
in executive session today by Senator Cul
Jom, chairman of the committee on for
eign relations. He did not make any ef
fort to secure consideration, but stated
that the committee had agreed not to re
port the treaty until amemfed. Senator
Morgan offered in the Senate the amend
ments which l.o had offered in commit
tee. They were ordered -printed without
being read.
The agreement tq report the treaty was
reached after three or four sittings de
voted in the main to hearing Senator
Morgan's oblectlons to the document in
Its present shape. He had not concluded
when the vote to report wns taken today,
but he announced that he would be will
ing to transfer the discussion to the Coor
of the Senate. This was in accordance
with a suggestion made by Senator Cul
lom, chairman of the committee.
Only two Senators. Morgan and Bacon, j
voted against it. Senator Bacon an
nounced that his opposition was to the
time of reporting and not to the treaty
itself. He said he was favorable to the
treaty as It now stands and would vote .
for it, but he believed that it should not 1
be reported until consideration in com- j
mlttee should be exhausted. i
Senator Cullom says he has formed no
plans for calling it up in the Senate. The
general opinion of members of the com
mittee Is that Senator Morgan will con
tinue his opposition on the floor of the
Senate and that several long sessions will
be necessary to secure a vote.
CONTRACT FOR CRUISERS.
One Goes to Cramps, Other to New
York Shipbuilding Company.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Again today
the Cabinet discussed the award of bids
recently received for tho armored cruisers
Tennessee and Washington. A decision
was reached, and at the conclusion of the
meeting Secretary Moody made public the
following statement:
"The Navy Department haa decided up
on the award of contracts for the two
11.500-ton armored cruisers Tennessee and
Washington. The bid of William Cramp
& Son. of Philadelphia, for two vessels at
$4,035,000. has been accepted for dne ves
sel, with the stipulation offered that the
plans of the Government shall be fol
lowed. In view of the fact that the New
York Shipbuilding Company of Camden,
N. J., one of the largest and best-equipped
shipyards in the world. Is the only large
shipyard In the United States not now ac
customed to naval work, and as this com
pany was also the lowest bidder for two
ships on the Governments plans the sec
ond vessel has been awarded (o it at the
same price of $4,035,000.
The only bid received from the Pacific
Coast was K3G.O0O, which was not with
in tho 4 per cent Incrcsc over the lowest
accepted bid allowed by law for vessels
built on that coast. These awards are
approved by the President as required by
law."
CONFEREES FAIL TO AGREE.
Transfer of Interstate Commission
Rock on "Which They Spilt.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 3. The Senate
and House conferees on the bill creating
the Department of Commerce held their
first conference today. The Houso pro
vision, conferring upon tho President au
thority to place tho "Interstate Commerco
Commission under the control of the pro
posed department, proved to be the prin
cipal feature of difference, the represen
tatives of the Houso standing out stiffly
for the House provision and the Senate's
representatives standing as firmly for
its elimination from the bill. AH the j
Senate conferees, Messrs. Hnnna, Nelson
and Clay, stood together on this point. '
Senator Clay went so far as to say that 1
ho would never agree to a report accept. I
lng the House provision. t
The House conferees Indicated a will-
ingncss to accept tho amendment sug
gested by Senator Nelson end indorsed
by the Senate committee on commerce
for the control of trusts, and members of
the conference express the opinion that
this provision will be incorporated In the
bill without substantial changes.
The conferees will meet again -tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Senator Fair

Government Answers Appeal i of
Americana In Disturbed Country.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Dlsturbed con
ditions in Honduras, growing out of tho
recent Presidential elections, have caused
certain American commercial interests to
appeal to the Government here for pro
tection from anticipated damage to theh-
propcrty. Bonllla, who was elected to the
Presidency, has taken refuge on AmpaM
Island, where he Is organizing a force to
displace the Incumbent of the Presidential
office who refuses to surrender.
The Navy Department Is about to send

should you find that the Ranger Is unable

STATEMENT AS TO ACRE.
Bolivia Explains and Defends Con
cessions In Dispute.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 3. The Minister
of Foreign Affairs of Bolivia. Slgnor VII
lazon. has addressed to tho Bolivian Le
gations abroad, under date of La Paz.
Bolivia, February 3, a cable dispatch con
taining the following declarations:
Acre contract is not lease. Bolivia re
tains sovereignty, enchargtng only the
collection of the revenues to tho syndi
cate. This has a purely Industrial charac
ter, subject to the laws of the republic,
and does not resemble In any way Afri
can concessions, tho object of which Is
to organize colonies. Bolivia has always
been ready to mako arrangements to set
tle this question satisfactorily for both
countries, and the syndicate at present
maintains the same purpose. The terri
torial object of tho concession Is not liti
gious; Bolivia's rights aro based op tho
treaty of 1S57 and boundaries established
by mixed commissions. In 16 years Brazil
never took steps to interact clauses. Bra
zilian population in Acre has been af
forded ample protection under Bolivian
-administration. President Pando's expe
dition is to relieve tho garrison at Puerto
Acre besieged by the revolutionists, main
tain sovereignty and protect Bolivian in
terests against depredations of the Insur
gents. Bolivia does not desire war. She
Is willing to settle differences on a fair
basis by direct arrangements or arbitra
tion for tho sake of peace and maintain
ing good relations.
FELL INTO YAQUI TRAP.
Mexlcnn Soldiers Almost Extermi
nated by Insidious Enemies.
TUCSON. Ariz., Feb. 3. Word has Just
reached hero that the Twelfth Battalion
of the Mexican regulars was almost an
nihilated in a battlo with the Yaquls,
whom !t was pursuing after having
defeated them in a fight at San Marclal.
The regulars were caught in a trap and
their retreat was cut off by a second band
of whose existence they knew nothing.
There were 500 soldiers In tho, battalion,
and If the report of the survivors of the
fight, who reached San Marclal, Is true,
a great many of that number were killed!
The reports, however, are believed to be
exaggerated.

regulars were In a critical condition and
had, lost a large number, although the
casualties are not known.
The Twelfth Battalion has been sta
tioned for some time at Potam, Rio Yaqui.
It was made up of soldiers trained to fight
the Indians In the bushes and was officered

DR. KILMER & CO.,, Blnghamton. N. Y.
GENTLEMEN My trouble- began with pain In my stomach and back, so sever
that it seemed as if knives were cutting me. I wfts treated by two of the best physi
cians In the county, and consulted another. None of them suspected that the cause
of my trouble was kidney disease. They all told me that I had cancer of the stom
ach, and would die. I grew so weak that I could not walk any more than a child a
month old, and I only weighed SO pounds. One day my brother saw In a paper your
advertisement of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy. He bought me a bottle at
our drug store and I took It. My family oould 6ee a change In me. for the better, so
they obtained more and I continued the use of Swamp-Root regularly. I was so
weak and run down that it took considerable time to build me up again. I am now
well, thanks to Swamp-Root, and weigh US pounds, and am keeping house for
my husband and brother. Swamp-Root cured me after the doctors had failed to do
me a particle of good.
