BACK TO THE HOUSE
Conferees Will Decide on the
Changes in Rate Bill.
WILL BE GIVEN FREE HAND
Acceptance of Allison Amendments
Assured, but Provision Slaking
Pipe Lines Common Carriers
may Be Eliminated.
WASHINGTON. May 21. The railroad
rate bill was considered for three hours
tonight by the House committee on inter
state and foreign commerce and the de
cision reached to recommend disagree
ment to all of the Senate amendments
and to send the bill to conference. The
committee will not ask that Instructions
of any character be given to the House
conferees.
There was no disposition to criticize the
amendment conferring Jurisdiction on the
courts to review orders made by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, for in the
House committee as well as in the Senate
many members contended that the bill as
it was passed by the House gave that
authority to the courts. This amend
ment and others, which collectively are
known as the Allison compromise, un
doubtedly will be agreed to by the House
con f erees.
The amendment which gave the House
committee the greatest concern tonight
was that making pipe lines common car
riers, which the committee thought in
consistent with the amendment prohibit
ing common carriers from producing com
modities carried by them. Formal action
was not had on any of the amendments,
and therefore the House conferees likely
will be left free to exercise their, best
Judgment.
WILL OPPOSE BIG BATTLESHIP
Some Senators Doubt Wisdom of Du
plicating Dreadnaught.
WASHINGTON, May 21. The naval
programme providing- for the con
struction of one great battleship of
tonnage equal to any afloat or now
building will meet opposition In the
Senate, but not of such stubborn char
acter. It Is thought, as to endanger its
pasasge. Several members of the Senate
committee on naval affairs have ex
pressed themselves as opposed to the
building of "the great unwieldy type of
the Dreadnaught." now being constructed
for the navy of Great Britain. These
men have announced that they will ex
press their doubt, although they have not
determined to record their votes
against the policy of the Administra
tion. The battleship proposed. In some fea
tures will be greater than the Dread
naught. The tonnage must be as great
ns the biggest battleship now planned.
This Is estimated at about 20.000 tons.
Its speed must be at least 21 knots,
and its draught will be about 28 feet.
It is In the armament that It will
surpass the Dreadnaught. According
to the plans for the giant defender
for the British navy. It will have 10
12-inch guns. .Chairman . Foes, of the
House committee on naval affairs, said
the battleship of the United States
should have 12 12-inch guns. The
South Carolina and Michigan, plans for
which have recently been completed,
are the biggest ships now authorized
for the United States Navy, and they
will have eight 12-lnch guns.
The naval appropriation bill will not
be taken up by the Senate committee
until the last of the week. Hearings
will not be had. so that it should be
reported to the Senate by Monday next.
SIGNS TREATY WITH MEXICO
Hoot Arranges for Division of Water
of Rio Grande.
"WASHINGTON, May 21. Secretary
Root, for the United States, and Am
bassador Casasus, for the Mexican
Government, today signed a treaty
regulating the use of the waters of
the Rio Grande, which. If approved by
the Senate, will remove what has been
for Ij years past a source of friction
In- the relations of the two countries.
For almost a century the Mexicans
living along the lower river have made
large use of Its waters for the pur
pose, of Irrigating their lands. But in
recent yeura private companies on the
upper waters . in the United States
have, by the construction of wing
dams, diverted a large part of the
water to this side of the river. The
Mexicans have preferred claims for
the damage sustained, but so far with
out success. Now the plans of the
reclamation service have made it cer
tain that practically all of the water
will be retained on American soil un
less some proper scheme of division
can be arranged. The construction of
the J7. 000,000 dam across the Rio
Grande at Engel, N. M., brought the
matter to a climax and led to nego
tiations between the two countries
which culminated in the treaty signed
today.'

oceanic service In the manner provided
by the ship subsidy bill, which passed the

Islands to Australasia, on steamships of the
United States of not less than" 16 knots

time compensation In additions that pro
vided by existing contracts. The commit
tee expects to conclude Its consideration
of the bill next Thursday and report It
to the Senate.

WHY DID KAISER LOSE HEAD?
Was Warned of Triple Alliance Re
garding Morocco.
NAPLES, May 21. The Matin today
publishes an Interview with Foreign
Minister Jrinettl, in which Signor Prinettl
says that In February, 1901, when Mar
quis Vlscontl Venosta banded over the
Foreign Office portfolio to him, he dis
closed the existence of an agreement
among Italy, France and Great Britain
concerning co-operation In the Meditter
anean, and explaining . that the agree
ment had not been communicated to
Germany.
Signor Prinettl, seeing that difficulties
might arise from the omission, took the
first opportunity and made a statement
before the Chamber of Deputies in 1902.
The German Ambassador, Count von
Wedel, immediately called upon him at
the Foreign Office, asking for particulars,
and Signor Prinettl read to him the text
of the agreement recognizing France as
the preponderating interested country in
Morocco and Italy In Tripoli.
In May, 1902, Signor Prinettl renewed
the triple alliance without difficulty, In
spite 'of the agreement. In September,
1902, he met Chancellor von uuelow in
Berlin, who spoke of the agreement aa a
new guarantee of peace. Therefore, ac
cording to Signor Prinettl, the German
resentment displayed after the recent Al
geciras conference la inexplicable.

LIBERALS THREATEN WAR
Taft Sends 600 Marines to Aid Zone
Police in Guarding Against Dis
turbance at the Election
Next Month.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-More than 600
marines will confront Liberal leaders on
the Isthmus- of Panama In case they at
tempt to promote riots and revolution at
the time of the election in Panama, on
June 20. Although, the canal zone Is un
der the Secretary of War, there io no
Indication that the War Department will
have any troops near the isthmus at the
time of the approaching .election, and
Secretary Taft must rely upon the Marine
Corps to protect the canal zone.
Only 200 marines are on the isthmus at
present These are under command of
Major C. G. Long. More than 400 mar
ines are on the Columbia, which Is on its
way to Guantanamo and will be within
easy call In case the politics become
stormy on the isthmus. The zone police
force has, been strengthened materially
and is so well equipped that it Is in re
ality a miniature army and is In readi
ness for service at any time. Under the
leadership of the well-trained marines.
It is believed the police force will be able
to quell any disturbances which may
arise.
Secretary Root and Secretary Taft have
also made it clear that they will take a
hand in disturbances outside of the zone,
and, If the Liberals begin any movement
against the present government of Pan
ama it will be with full knowledge that
the United States expects to Intervene In
disturbances whl;h will delay the canal
work or affect ft In any way .
Certain Inquiries that have been di
rected to Governor Magoon by dis
gruntled party leaders have been fol
lowed by threats of an uprising against
the Amador administration.
These have led Secretaries Root 'and
Taft to serve notice on the malcontents
that no such manifestation will be per
mitted anywhere near the Canal Zone or
atany place where the peace of the Zone
may be threatened. To give effect to
this notice, the Navy will have a suffi
cient" force of marines on either side of
the Isthmus to maintain order.

Columbia sailed from the League Island
Navy-yard today under secret orders
with 600 marines aboard. It Is under

Are" You TIred,: Nervous
and Sleepless?
Nervousness and sleeplessness are us
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
Sot fed on properly nourishing blood;
ley are starved nerves. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery make pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
riroperly nourished and all the organs of
helody are run as smoothly as machin
ery which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuous you are
toned up and Invigorated, and you ara
good for a whole lot of physical or mental
work. Best of all, the strength and in
crease In vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have a large, booming sale
for a short time, is that they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and in the long run
greatly injures the system. One may feel
exhilarated and better for the time being,
yet In the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
bottle of It bears upon its wrapper The
Baags of Honesty, in a full list of all its
several Ingredients. For the druggist to
offer you something he claims Is "just as
good Is to insult your intelligence.
Every Ingredient entering into the
world-famea "Golden MedlcalDlscovery "
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
of all the several schools of practice. No
other medicine sold through druggists for
like purposes has any such endorsement.
The "Golden Medical Discovery not
only produces all the good effects to be
obtained from the use of Golden Seal
root, in all stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, as In dyspepsia, biliousness, con
stipation, ulceration of stomach and
bowels and kindred ailments, but the
Golden Seal root used in Its compound
ing is greatly enhanced In its curative ac
tion by other ingredients such as Stone

" .The ingredients of which . S. S. is composed, and the method of corn?
birring and preparing them so that they gently and pleasantly build tip and
strengthen every part of the body, make it the ideal tonic for a disordered
condition of the system. Every one feels the need of a tonic sometimes.'
energies are depressed, sleep is not restful or refreshing, and the entire body
has a nervous, worn-out feeling. When the system is in this depleted, run
down condition it must be aided by a tonic, and S. S. S. is recognized every
where as the standard. Being made entirely of roots, herbs and barks
selected for their gentle action as well as their invigorating effect on the
system, it will not disagreeably affect any of the delicate members or tissues
as do most of the so-called tonics on the market which contain potash or
some other harmful mineral ingredient. These derange the stomach and
digestion, unfavorably affect the bowels or otherwise damage the health.
S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion, improves the appetite, produces
refreshing sleep, rids the body of that tired, run-down feeling, and supplies
tone and-vigor to the entire system. It re-establishes the healthy circulation
of the blood, acts more promptly and gives better and more lasting results
than any other tonic, and because of its vegetable purity is an absolutely
safe medicine for young or old. S. S. S. acts admirably in cases of dyspep
sia, indigestion and ether stomach troubles, and after -using it that uncom
fortable feeling of fullness, dizziness or drowsiness, after eating, are no
longer felt. Not only is S. S. S. the greatest of all tonics but possesses puri
fying and alterative properties, and if there is a taint in the blood it will
promptly remove every trace and restore perfect health. In selecting your
tonic for this year do not experiment but get S. S. S., the recognized stand
