House Won't Agree to
Early Adjournment
CUBAN BILL NEEDS ACTION
Senate Must Declare For or
Against Reciprocity.
LIVELY DEBATE ON MEASURE
Upper Branch of Congress Makes It
the Unfinished Business-Cuban
Annexation Resolution Has
Opened Discussion.
WASHINGTON, Now 25. Until the Sen
ate either passes the Cuban bill or re
jects the measure, no proposition to ad
journ the extra session of the 5Sth Con
gress will be entertained by the House.
This Is the declared position of the leaders
of the House today, and there is likely to
b no effort made by that body toward
cringing the extra session to an end until
it lapses into the regular session, Decem
ber 7.
In taking this stand, the House leaders
declare they are finally emphasizing the
purpose for which the session was called.
Speaker Cannon's work on the makeup
of the House committees Is progressing
satisfactorily and may be announced next
Monday.
SENATE TAKES ACTION ON BILL
It Is Made the Unfinished Business
Cuban Resolution Up.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. The Senate
today completed the appointment of com
mittees for the DSth Congress, adopted
the motion providing for the reconsidera
tion of the vote by which the Newland's
joint resolution for the annexation of
i Cuba was referred to committee, and
made the Cuban reciprocity bill the un
finished business.
The first speech on the merits of the
Cuban bill was made by Carmack (Dem.),
who opposed the bill, and said nothing
less than general tariff revision would
give the relief needed.
There was further debate between Hale,
Teller and Newlands on the resolution of
the latter. In which Newlands further
outlined his views and Hale deprecated all
agitation on the subject. Teller declared
that Cuba was In no sense a dependency
of the TJnltod States.
The Senate adjourned until Friday.
At the beginning of today's ses
sion the Senate adopted the reso
lution offered by Hale Monday last
Tor the appointment t)f Senators as
members of committees. The list was
amended by substituting the name of
Morgan for that of Bate as chairman of
the committee on quarantine and public
health, and by electing a new committee
of three to dispose of useless papers in
the departments of which Pettus was
made chairman and Bate and Long are
members.
Cuban Resolution Called Up.
Hale then called up a motion for the
reconsideration of the vote by which the
Newlands joint resolution, providing ,for
the annexation of Cuba was referred to
thi committee on relations with Cuba,
and asked that a vote on the motion be
taken forthwith, with the understanding
the r"alutlon itself should He on
Ihe table for future discussion. There was
no objection to the request, and the mo
tion was adopted without division.
It was the Intention of Spooner to speak
today on the motion, but his address was
deferred, and he will speak on the resolu
tion itself on a later day.
At the instance of Cullom, the Cuban
reciprocity bill was read at length and
made the unfinished business with the
Smderstanding that any Senator who may
Jeslre to do so may speak on the measure
at any time while the Senate is in ses
sion. ,
.Carmack took the floor and addressed
r Senate in regard to the Cuban bllL
He began by saying that in his message
the President had urged the ratification
cf the Cuban treaty with reasons which
appeal to divers motives In the "human
heart
"He told us." the Senator went on, "that
we must ratify It to save our honor and
help our trade. It was an opportunity to
worship God and get your money back;
to be diligent In business, whllo serving
the Lord. He presented the Cuban treaty
In the double aspect of a bargain counter
and a missionary box. You put a nickel
in the slot for sweet charity's sake and
get more than your money's worth of
chewing gum and cigars. Happy Is the
Republican Administration that was driv
en by selfish motive to a righteous deed
and could perform Christian duty without
exercising any of the Christian virtues.
It Is another story when honor and self
ishness come Into conflict."
Continuing, Carmack said If this
measure would reduce the price of sugar
it would be an argument In Its favor, but
the larger part of the sugar Imports would
Ptlll be subject to duty, and the tariff
would be added to all. '
"The authors of the sugar tax promised
to reduce it by $10,000,000," he said. "We
were to pay this sum for this treats. It
requires us to give up not only the right
to reduce taxes, but reciprocity with other
countries. You violate your solemn prom
ise to reduce taxes, and you do it in the
name of honor; you sell your right to
make commercial treaties, and you do It
in the name of reciprocity."
Takes Republicans to Task.
Carmack referred at length to the reci
procity policy of Blaine and McKlnley
and quoted from a speech by Dolllver, in
which the latter had said that every line
cf the wisdom of Blaine had been elimi
nated from the statutes. He agreed that
this was true; and. If so, who was re
sponsible? If the Democratic party had
taken it off, the Republican party had
refused to put it back.
Continuing, Carmack declared that
Dolllver was right when he said his
party's failure to carry out reciprocity
was a'blow to protectionism.
"But it would demonstrate to the peo
ple." said the speaker, "that a party
dominated by protected Interests would
make no concessions."
He said Governor Cummins had assailed
the tariff as a shelter for monopoly until
the trusts had forced him to desist; that
Representative Babcock. of "Wisconsin,
had been made to feel the displeasure of
his party for utterances contrary to trust
mandates; that such had been the his
tory of every Republican who had revolt
ed against monopoly and that such would
bo the history of Dolllver.
Carmack then turned his attention to
the President. Six months ago, he said,
a cry was raised for "Roosevelt, reci
procity and revision." "What had become
of the last two members 'of this blessed
trinity?
"The trinltarian propaganda," he went
on, "has heen overwhelmed by the Mo
hammedan war cry of 'Allah 11 Allah,'
'Roosevelt is great, and the Senator from
Massachusetts is his prophet' The first
word in this trfnity is enough to express
the creed of the Republican party. "What
ever that word of multifarious meaning
meant last night, that was the policy of
the Republican party this morning. It did
not mean reciprocity, and it did not mean
revision." Carmack then went on to say:
"The reactionary movement toward pro
tection in England derived its strength
from the hostile tariff of the "United
States. Mr. Chamberlain has played the
United States against the continent of
Europe with success, and is .now free to
execute a hostile tariff in favor of the
British colonies and against the "United
States. This will be a staggering blow
to our agricultural industries, but the be
ginning of a more liberal policy shown by
the victory of the Democratic party vIn the
next election in the United States would
put an end to Mr. Chamberlain's scheme
at once."
Defends Cuban Statehood.
"When Carmack concluded, Newlands
made a defense of his resolution recently
Introduced for Cuban statehood. He said
Cuba was to be Invited to become a state
of the American Republic on terms of
equality with other states, and that the
matter was to he decided by the people by
popular vote. He suggested that the
question of statehood, becoming a mili
tary dependency, or an independent sov
ereign government could be submitted to
the people. '
Concerning the financial arrangements
for the island which could be made if the
island entered the republic as a state,
Newlands said the proposed bond issue of
$35,000,000 for payment of Chba's army of
freedom should be reduced in Interest
from 5 to 3 per cent and guaranteed by
the United States. This plan would en
able the sale of the bonds at par, thus
saving the proposed discount of 10 per
cent, aggregating $3,500,000, and a saving
in interest of $700,000 annually, amounting
In 40 years, the life of the bonds, to $23,-
ooo.ooo.
Newlands stated that union would mean
free trade without the payment of Ameri
can duty now paid on Cuban sugar, and
Cuba would annually receive $35,000,000
more for her sugar than at present. All
of this, he contended, would mean unex
ampled prosperity for Cuba as well as
the unparalleled dignity and liberty of
state.
As for Porto Rico, Newlands said his
proposition involved no action without
her consent. She was too' small In ter
ritory for a state and could be admitted
to American union only as a county or
part of the state of Cuba. Her willingness
could be tested by popular vote.
Teller, In answer to Newlands, said
that while he was not prepared to enter
Into debate as to the merits of the ret'j
lutlon, he wanted to protest against the
tenet that Cuba Is in any manner a de
pendency of this Government, and de
clared such contention would be set down
by any International lawyer as the height
of absurdity; that the passage of the
Piatt amendment could not In any way
Interfere with tho sovereignty of Cuba.
He said Cuba can today make a treaty
with Great Britain against the Interests
of the United States Just as she can
treat with this Government, and he hoped
that the next time any one referred to
Cuba as a dependency of the United States '
that Senator would be prepared to fortify
his position with facts.
Carmack spoke briefly against the New
land's resolution.
After a short executive session, the
Senate adjourned until Friday.
Let Out for Fighting Cut In Wages.
PATERSON, N. J., Nov. 25. Three hun
dred puddlers In the employ of the Passaic
Steel Company have been discharged after
deciding they would not be satisfied with
a proposed reduction of 10 per cent in
wages, announced to take effect Decem
ber 1. The 15 bridgemen, who had voted
to strike if the reduction is made, think
the proposition meant a lockout. They
stopped work for a few hours yesterday
until a conference with the foreman, when
they returned. The company says the cut
will have to he made or the works will
close.

HEIR 18 .NOT FALSE
Countess Proves to Jury That
BoyJs Her Own.
HE WILL GET A FINE ESTATE
Great Crowd of Poles Gather to Make
a Political Demonstration If
Germans Hearing the Case
Bring Verdict of Guilty. ,
BERLIN, Nov. 23. The Countess Isa
bella Welsleska Kwileckl, charged with
presenting a false heir to an estate at
Wroblewo, Province of Posen, who has
been on trial here since October 6, was
acquitted.
The Countess, during the closing argu
ments, sat unmoved in the prisoners' en
closure, occasionally examining the faces
of the jurors through a lorgnette, or
glancing through the widow at the gath
ering crowds of her Polish countrymen,
who assembled la the neighborhood the
courthouso with the design of making a
political demonstration, if sho should be
convicted.
Race feeling has been a notable feature
of the trial, as the 200,000 Poles resident
in Berlin never forget an opportunity to
protest against Prussian justice. The
Polish newspaper editors asserted that if
the Countess was convicted, it would be
caused by race partiality. The author
ities, expecting rioting, should the result
be a conviction, filled the court and ad
jacent squares with police. The jury re
mained out more than three hours, an un
usual time for a German Jury', since the
majority decided.
The announcement of the verdict turned
the prospective rioters into a cheering,
joyful crowd, and the Countess and the
boy, who is now heir to one of the finest
estates In Prussian Poland, drove in the
Countess' own carriage with her husband
to their own house.
It Is estimated that the cost of the trial
will be $73,000 .to $100,000, which the state
will bear.
HE RIDICULES CHAMBERLAIN.
Rosebery Discusses Fiscal Issue
Bryan In Audience.
LONDON, Nov. -25. Lord Rosebery
spoke to 2000 persons on the fiscal quostlon
at the Surrey Theater tonight. William
J. Bryan was In the audience. There were
20,000 applications for tickets, the issue
of which had to be limited to the ca
pacity of tne theater. Lord Rosebery after
ward addressed a large overflow meeting.
At both meetings he was given an enthu
siastic reception, and all through his
speeches he was heartily cheered.
His Lordship's remarks were for the
most part devoted to ridiculing Joseph
Chamberlain and his policy.
"After last night's meeting at Queen's
Hall, which was attended by seven mem
bers of Lord Salisbury's Government,"
said the .speaker, "little can be added. The
fiscal question must be solved and finally
settled, and unless It is settled the dis
solution of Parliament cannot be long
delayed."
Lord Rosebery referred to Mr. Chamber
lain as "a modern Jeremiah, whose as
sertions that the country had been deso
lated were refuted by the facts."
The real outcome of Mr. Chamberlain's
policy, his Lordship believed, would be a
state of socialism.
"The first result of Mr. Chamberlain's
policy," continued Lord Rosebery, "would
be to plunge Great Britain Into bitter
fiscal warfare-wlth our cousins, the United
States, as the result of which Great
Britain would lose everything and gain
nothing. It would mean a practical sever
ance far more deplorable than a fiscal
severance, and would "blight the fairest
hopes of the two nations."
JAPAN'S MINISTER LOSES HOPE
Amicable Agreement With Russia
Appears Highly Improbable.
LONDON, Nov. 25 The Toklo corre
spondent of the London Dally Mall cables
that Baron Katsura, the Japanese Min
ister of Foreign Affairs, has Issued a
statement that he cannot guarantee an
amicable settlement of the matters In dis
pute between Japan and Russia, i The
Mall Is the only paper that seems to
have heard of the foregoing statement,
and other Toklo dispatches did not seem
to bear Its report out. If Baron Katsura
made such a statement, it means more
than appears on the surface, as up to the
present time both the Russian and Jap
anese Foreign Offices have perslstenly de
nied there was any possibility of a hitch
In the negotiations that have been In
progress for some time in connection with
Corea and Manchuria.
The dissension must, indeed, be serious
If the Japanese Foreign Minister is will
ing to admit the fact, and in view of the
forthcoming session of the Japanese diet,
which begins In Toklo next months he
may be desirous of Indicating to thc
people that that body will have a great
problem before It for consideration.
The Daily Mall is anti-Russian and sen

RUSSIA GIVES IT NO CREDIT.
Report That Japan Will Intercept
Warships Pronounced Absurd.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 23. The Rus
sian Government has no official confirma
tion of the Toklo report, sent to a semi
official agency, saying that Japanese war
ships had been dispatched to prevent the
Russian war vessels Czarevitch and Ba
yan from reaching Port Arthur to join
the Russian squadron there. The Gov
ernment says the latest advices Indicate
no hitch in the negotiations at Toklo and
pronounces the report Incredible.
The whole tenor of the government's In
formation Is pacific The admiralty says
the Russian fleet Is quietly anchored at
Port Arthur. The Russian Foreign Office
intimates that the far Eastern dispatches
concerning tho warlike activity of China
are sent out for effect in England and
the United States.
Japan Is Alone Undecided.
LONDON, Nov. 25. The Times' Toklo
correspondent, referring to the publication
of exaggerated accounts as to the number
of Russian troops reviewed at Port
Arthur in October, says:
"While it is undeniable that Russia has
largely increased and is still increasing
her garrisons in Manchuria, it Is equally
undeniable that her preparations have
been hurriedly made and are very incom
plete, arfd less 'advanced than Russia
would desire the world to believe. Japan
Is apparently tho only one x the powers
to be undeceived.
"Such official exaggeration Is believed
to Indicate uneasiness In tho face of the
completeness of the Japanese preparations
a completeness which many observers
believe will astonish the world."

BRITAIN DETERMINED TO RULE
Supremacy In Persian Gulf Explain
ed to Arab Chiefs.
BUNDER ABBAS, Persia, Nov. 25.
While on his way here, the Viceroy of
India, Lord Curzon, held a durbar at Shar
gah, which was attended by many promi
nent Arab chiefs of that coast. He made
a significant speech, reaffirming tho inten
tion of Great Britain to maintain "Tier
supremacy In the Persian Gulf, and de
clared the government adhered to its policy
of guardianship Tind protection of the
chiefs.
Tho "Viceroy reminded the chiefs of their
engagements not to enter into agreements
or correspondence with any other power
than Great Britain, not to admit agents
of any other government and not to alien
ate any part of their territory. If the
chiefs adhered to these engagements, as
they had done In the nast, no one would
Jbe allowed to tamper with their rights
and liberties.
The Viceroy concluded with emphasizing
force that the Influence of the British
government which maintained the Inde
pendence of the chiefs and made the gulf
secure to the ships of all nations, must
remain supreme.
Tho speech of the Viceroy to the British
Indian traders who have arrived here
similarly asserted British ascendancy In
trade and other Interests In the Persian
Gulf, which had been won In competition
with other nations who held "or aspired
to hold" ports on- tho Indian seas.

TREATY TO BE SIGNED QUICKLY
Special Train Will Carry Messenger
to Panama-Boat Held for Return.
COLON, Nov. 25. It is proposed, when
tho messenger bearing the Panama Canal
treaty reaches Colon, December 1, to have
a special train ready to transport him
quickly across the Isthmus to Panama,
where tho treaty will undoubtedly be

train, meantime, will bo kept waiting

he will embark on the Yucatan, thus
starting for New York on the same day

Men, If Reyes Fails.
COLON, Nov. 25. The correspondents
the Associated Press today received a
telegram from Bogota, dated November
21, saying the government had Issued or
ders to raise the army footing to 100,
000 men In the event that General Reyes
mission to Washington should prove fruit
less. Tho subjugation of Panama Is given
as the reason for the government's ac
tion. Snow in Several States.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25. The first snow of
the season began last night and continued
today. Tho snowfall extends over East
ern Nebraska and Kansas, Western Iowa,
Southern Illinois and the whole of Mis
souri. Dyspe
tenths of all diseases originate with t.
breaking down of the digestion. A weak
stomach w&akens and impoverishes tho
system, making it easy for disease to gain
a foothold.
Nobody need fear consumption, kidney
disease, liver trouble or a weak heart
and nervous system as long as the diges
tion Is good and the stomach able to as
similate plenty of wholesome food.
Thousands have some form of stomach
trouble and do not know it. They ascribe
the headache, the languor, nervousness,
insomnia, palpitation, constipation and
similar symptoms to some other cause
than the true one. Get your digestion
on th right track, and the heart trouble,
lung trouble, liver disease or nervous de
bility will rapidly disappear.
Notnlng Is more certain than that tho
use of so-called tonics, stimulants and med
icines, which depend upon alcohol for their
effect, is injurious to health In the long
run.
Many liquid patent medicines derive
their effect entirely from the alcohol they
contain.
Alcohol and medicines containing it are
temporary stimulants, and not in any
sense a true tonic. In fact. It is doubtful
I if any medicine or drug Is a real tonic.
A true tonic is sometmng wnicn win
renew, replenish, build up the exhausted
nervous system and wasted tissues of the
bodv: something that will enrich the blood
and endow it with the proper proportions
of red and white corpuscles, which pre
vent or destroy disease germs. This Is
what a real tonic should do, and no drug
or alcoholic stimulant will do it.
The only true tonic in nature Is whole
some food, thoroughly digested. Every
particle of nervous energy, every mlnuto
muscle, fiber and drop of blood is created
dally from the food we digest.
The mere eating of food has.llttle to- do
with the repair of waste tissue, but tho
perfect digestion of the food eaten has
everything to do with it.
The reason so few people have perfect
digestion is becauso from wrong habits
of living tho stomach has gradually Iost
tho power to secrete the gastric juice,
peptones and acids In sufficient quantity.
To cure indigestion and stomach trou
bles it is necessary to take after meals
some harmless preparation which will sup
ply the natural peptone and diastase which
every weak stomach lacks, and probably
the best preparation of this character Is
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found In every drug store and which con
tain In pleasant, palatable form the whole
some peptone and diastase which nature
requires for prompt digestion.
One or two of these excellent tablets
taken after meals will prevent souring,
fermentation and acidity and Insure com
plete digestion and assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are equally
valuable for little children as for adults,
as they contain nothing harmful or stim
ulating, but only the natural digestives.
One of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest 1S0O grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and they are in every
sense a genuine tonic, because they bring
about In the only natural way a restora
tive of nerve power, a building-up of lost
tissue and appetite. In the only way it
can be done, by tho digestion and assimi
lation of wholesome ood.
The root of the matter is this, the di
gestive elements contained in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food,
give the overworked stomach a chance to
recuperate, and the nerves and whole sys
tem receive the nourishment which can
only come from food; stimulants and nerve
tonics never give real strength: they give
a fictitious strength, Invariably followed
by reaction. Every drop of blood, every
nerve and tissue Is manufactured from, our
dai'y food, and If you can insure its
prompt action and complete digestion by
the regular use of so good and wholesome
a remedy as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
you will have no need of nerve tonics
and sanitariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been In the market only a few years
yet probably every druggist In the United
States, Canada and Great Britain now
sells them and considers them the most
popular and successful of any prepara
tion for stomach trouble.
