-I
Toward the end of ths session there
was a lively passage ot words between
Galllncer and Bei-erldge. The former
declared In unmistakable terms that
Beveridge and hi -followers on the.
statehood bill were prolonging the de
bate In pursuance of a "deliberate and
premeditated system of obstruction."
Quay Injected some humor Into the
aSalr after Kean. who had held the
Coor for some time la opposition to the
bill, said that he would postpone his
remarks on account of a. severe cold
by eaylnr that the laflrmltlea of the op
ponents of statehood were Increasing
to such sn extent that h.expeeted soon
to see them all In a horpltal.

tne snerman antitrust law.
The omnibus statehood bill was taken
up and Kean spoke In opposition.
A spirited colloquy arose between Gal
llnger and Beveridge, during the course of
Kean's remarks. The question under dis
cussion was the unequal representation in
Congress enjoyed by certain states. Gal,
linger remarked that Beveridge was sim
ply prolonging the debate by referring
to It. ,
"I deny the right of the Senator," an
swered Beveridge. "when a Senator is en
gaged in debate here, to describe any pur
cose which he may have."
"I will take the right," retorted Gal-
llnger, "to say that this Is a deliberate and
premedr ' ted system of obstruction.
"We had the debate out on that subject
the other day," said Beveridge. "and I
think the Senate should understand where
the real obstruction is,
"I think it does," sarcastically remarked
Galllncer.
Kean desired to be excuseu from further
discussion of the bill today on account of
a severe cold. Quay, with deliberate hu
mor, combined with sarcasm, replied as
follows: " ,
"The chair will perceive that almost
dally pie progress of the discussion Is
cneckea by some suggestion oi. tnis char

Spooncr I suppose you will not object if
all the opponents of the u.U go to the I
hospital?
"Not in the least." responded Quay.
In tho midst of the laughter. Lodge re
marked: "Somo of us will stay with you
to tho end.

bill In committee of the whole was com
pleted, but It was. not passed. The an
nual attempt to strike out appropria
tions for special malj facilities between

Kansas City and Newton, Kan., was
led by Talbert (Dem.-. 8. O, who fol
lowed up bis motion after It was de

much attention by his remarks in reply to
a speech by Williams (Miss.) last week

would hold the Republicans responsible

had been passed. Most of his Republican
colleagues applauded thls statement.

man of the Democratic Congressional
Committee, defended at some length the
figures of the Democratic campaign book
relative to the tariff and the trusts.
Williams of Mississippi replied to Sib
ley. He raised a general laugh at Sibley's
expense when he attributed the latter's
skill as a debater to his practice In the
Populist, Democratic and Republican par
ties, and his alternate support or opposi
tion to every great political question.

offlco committee, in closing the general de-
hata Mintairiuritha nnnltlnn of tha o 1 T I

mall facilities between Washington, At

WHY WHOLE FLEET GOES.
Will Take Opportunity of Cruising:
and Practice In Tropics.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. According to
Naval officials, there is no political signif
icance in the dispatch ot the four vessels
of Admiral Casey s fleet to Amalpa Island.
The State Department suggested that one
vessel be sent to the'lsland to afford pro
tection to American Interests, which might
be Imperiled as a result of the civil trou
bles which are threatened in Honduras,
but the Navy Department thought it
would be a good plan to dispatch Hhe en
tire fleet, with directions to cruise togeth
er as far as possible, so as to give an op
portunity for sea drilling and actual prac
tice. It is declared that this is the reason
that Admiral Casey's fleet Is going to
Central America.
Some months ago. Admiral Glass was
selected to succeed Admiral Casey in com
mand of the Pacific Coast. The original

Castro Preparing for Defense, With
Rebels at Ills Gates.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4. An army of revo
lutionists is now almost at the gates of
Caracas, says the Herald's Caracas corre
spondent. Everywhere in the city prep
arations are being made to repel an at
tack. Trenches are being due and citizens
arc being drafted Into the military ranks.
Animals are being seized for the govern,
ment service.
President Castro Is' as cool as the pro
verbial cucumber, and Is displaying a tire
less energy. He is on horseback day and
night directing tho defensive operations.
Despite tho dark outlook, many persons
believe that the government will triumph
over the divided- revolutionary leadership
and the unsoldlerly crowds of the Insur
rection.
'The Matos revolution', has -at last
reached a point Where some decisive ac
tion roust ulkq piace witnin a very lew
days. Bulletins of victory and defeat are
now- being circulated in Caracas as a re.
suit of the fighting Just south ot the cap
ital. These bulletins are not trust
worthy. The significant feature is that
defensive measures are being pushed.
The blockaders have notified the La
Guayra authorities that if they see Vene
zuelan soldiers in the town they will shell
the fort. This notification is Inexplicable
to the La Guayra authorities, as Vene
zuelan soldiers occasionally pass In the
streets on their way to fight tho revo
lutionists. La Guayra residents look upon
the notification as a new tack of tho Ger
mans to assist the Matos revolution, and
are asking: "Where Is the peaceful

DOUBTS WILKES BOOK.

M. Bella Conclude Tnt Journal
Was Doctored.
TWANA. Mason County. Wash., Jan.
31. (To tho Editor.) When I wrote my
article on the Whitman Question, which
was published In The Oregonian of Janu
ary 18, I was not aware that I was likely
to stir up quite so much discussion in re
card to the Wilkes Journal, but -the arti
cle of Professor Joseph Bchafer In The
Oregonian of January 20, and a private
letter which I have received, which took
me to task for my position, has led me
to make further investigations on the sub
ject, which have brought out the follow
ing facts and conclusions:
Governor P. H. Burnett either wrote the
Journal published In Wilkes' book or he
did not. He did write his "Recollections
of nn Old Pioneer." In the latter ho says:
"I kept a concise Journal of the trip as
far an Walla Walla, and have it now bo-
fore mc" He does not, however, give the
Journal as kept, but gives a condensed
statement of it. and uses It to verify his.
statements. The Wilkes book gives a
Journal as it was said to have been kept.
Henco it Is not possible to compare tho
two line by line, but there ore otner ways
of comparison, as given below:

Relief Prom All Catarrhal and Chronic
Maladies.
Deafness, Catarrh and All Catarrhal Maladies, Asthma and
Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, Diseases of the
Nervous System, the Stomach, Liver and Bowels, I
Rheumatism, Kidney Diseases, and All Affections of j
Skin and Blood, Cured by the Copeiand Treatment. ;
To one not scientifically familiar with
the causes of disease and disease
symptom?, it may em that the won
derful Copeiand treatment covers too
many of them; that too much is
claimed for It; that It resembles in
this respect the patent "cure-alls" to
bo purchased by the gallon at drug
stores. The people have had a surfeit
of theae marvelous balms, lotions 1 and
concoctions that are heralded as sov
ereign remedies for all the Ills flesh 'Is
heir to. Thoy want no more "cure
alto." Nor do they want to entrust
their health to the reckless dosing of
quack doctors. The thousands of pub
lished statements of reputable and
well-known persons old and young,
men nnd women who have been cured
ot all the troubles enumerated above
by the skill of the Copeiand physicians,
should be as convincing as a decree of
court, even to one unfamiliar with the
nature of thoee diseases, while those
who know that the root ot these
troubles is catarrh, and that the secret
of the wonderful accomplishments of
the Copeiand physicians Is their -special
skill In the treatment and cure of that
dread "enemy of the human race, are
In no danger, even without this multi
tude of witnesses, of confounding the
Copeiand treatment with anything that
has even a suspicion of quackery about
It. The facts are that the Copeiand
treatment curea, that thousands today
enjoy restored health and hearing
through the skill of the Copeiand
physicians, and that this treatment la
brought wlthtn easy, reach of the
masses by the merely nominal fee of
X5 a month, all medicines included.
The Copeiand treatment has
been Indorsed by thousands of
prominent citizens of the North
west. Including the following
reputable persons, who. If you
will call upon them, or write

HE FEARED CON
SUMPTION CURED
BY HOME TREATMENT
Mr. M. M. Jackson, Saginaw, Or.,
Was a sufferer from a eevere type of
bronchial trouble, which seemed to bo
rapidly developing Into consumption.
Being unable to visit the office he
began a course of Home Treatment,
the result of which is set forth in the
following letter received recently:
Dear Doctors I would have writ
ten before, but have been away
Mr. M. 31. Jackson, Saginaw, Or,
from home. I have been with
out medicine for some time but feel
fine. Mj appetite Is good and my
stomach to all right. In fact I am
a new man to what I was this time
last Winter. I go out In all kinds of
weather, and feel ae stout and weigh
as much as I ever did. When I sent
for your symptom blank I was nothing
but skin and bone. I had no relteh
for food and everything I ate dis
tressed mo terribly. I coughed Inces
santly. I had night sweate and a
soreness through the chest and lungs.
I waa growing weaker every day and
evorybody thought I had consumption.
I myself did not think I would be alive
today, but I am, and I lay It all to
your excellent treatment of my case. I
have done more work In the past two
months than in a year- before, and
think I am good for pretty good work
yet.
"I feel very grateful for what you
have done for me and my family In
restoring my health, and .always take
great pleasure In recommending your
treatment. Respectfully yours,
"M. M. Jackson, Saginaw, Or."
