WASHINGTON, March 26. More shafts
of sarcasm anu invective were aimed at
President Koosevelt in the House of Rep
resentatives today. In one of the most
scathing arraignments of a public officer
ever heard in that chamber. Beau, of
Texap, charged the President with hav
ing been xuilty of "a disgusting usurpa
tion of power," not only toward the Na
tional Legislature, but the judiciary as
well.
Congress had. he said, abdicated to him
its powers, and the judiciary of the coun
try felt the effect of Ms Influence. God
and the future alone knew, he declared,
just what niche he was to occupy in the
temple of his country.
Wilfley Letter an Insult.
He declared that in writing a letter
to the Judiciary committee' in the Wilfley
case saying that Judge v iltley was inno
cent, the President had insulted Con
gress and he declared that the letter
should have been sent back to the Pres
ident. He also charged the President
with attempting to direct the courts, and
in this connection spoke of the appoint
ment of three members of the Supreme
Court by the President who, said he, must
necessarily be influenced by the Presi
dent as the source of their official po
sition. Storm About Weather Bureau.
When the agricultural appropriation bill
was read for amendment today, Macon,
of Arkansas, endeavored to have inserted
as a new provision his bill prohibiting
the dealing In futures in , agricultural
products, but the chair sustained a point
of order against It. Scott. 01 Kansas,
In charge of the bill, expressed his en
tire sympathy with the proposition
which, however, he insisted should be
acted On independently.
Mann, of Illinois, raised a storm of
discussion . by directing attention to the
fact that all of the IS new weather sta
tions provided by the bill were to be
placed in states having representation on
the agricultural committee.
Scott, however, maintained that all of
them were placed In the hill on the recom
mendation of the Secretary of Agricul
ture and the Chief of the Weather
iHnreau.
On a point of order the several new sta
tions were stricken from the bill. These
mat inns were proposed to be located In
Texas, Kansas, Virginia. Michigan, Ver

WASHINGTON. March 26. Prior to
thr resumption by the Senate of con
sideration of the AUlrtrh currency bill
today, the committee on finance held a
ineottr.R nd agreed to accept a num
ber of amendments offered by Lodge,
Xeison, Johnston and Allison.
The IjOdge amendment adds the
bonds of the Philippine Island and of
the City of Manila to the list of ac
ceptable securities for the proposed ad
tlit tonal currency.

pMmont of inter eat on deposits in Na
tional banks at such rate as the Secre
tary ot the Treasury may prescribe
not ltss, however, than 1 per cent per
annum upon the average monthly
amount of such deposits.
Johnston's amendment is as follows:
That after January 1. 19O0. National
hHnkinjc associations located outside of re
itv cltlties, whloh are- now required by
law to keep a reserve equal to 13 per
eon turn of their deposit li ball tie, ahall

flftha of such reserves, either in lawful
money, as now required by law. or In the
perurlties enumerated (bonds In section 2
of this act, which shall have been approved
by the Secretary of the Treasury; pro
vided, however, that not more than one
third of the reserves required to ba kept in
the uuU of such associations shall be held
In such securities.
Another amendment by Allison,
which was-accepted by the committee,
provides for destruction of the emer
gency circulation, after it has been
turned into the Treasury for redemp
tion. The purpose is to insure the
vermanent retirement of the emer
gency circulation and prevent an en
largement of circulation by convert
ing the redeemed notes into the gen
eral fund. It is in the nature of a
afaruard to the successful operation
of the machinery of the redemption

STRIKE IS SETTLED
Steam Schooner Owners Meet
Engineers Half Way.
VESSELS GO OUT TODAY
Men Accept Decrease of 5 Per Cent
In Pay and Employers Aban
don the Fight for the
Open Sliop.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 36. After a
conference lasting seven hours- today, be
tween committees representing the Steam
Schooner Owners of this port and the
local branch of the Marine Engineers'
Association, the dispute between the two
organizations that has tied up the steam
schooners in the lumber-carrying traffic
on the Coast for over two months, was
settled by concessions on both sides.
The marine engineers agreed to al
low the non-association engineers now
employed by the three lumber companies
to work until their contracts expire, to
abandon their former demands regarding
the manning of vessels and to accept a
decrease in pay. The shipowners agreed
to abandon their demands for 'the man
ning of the vessels, a big. decrease in pay
and open shop.
The compromise agreed upon is a mean
between the demands of both associations
and will permit all the ships that have
been -tied up to go out tomorrow morning.
The new terms are much the same as
those proposed by the marine engineers
several weeks ago with regard to the
manning pf ships. The wages of the en
gineers, will be 10 per ceiu: greater than
those received before the fire, which is
practically a decrease of 5 per cent on the
wages being paid engineers before the
present controversy.

BOOMED BY SUCKER STATE
(Continued From First Page.)
which It has produced, we believe that the
people of the United States will profit by a
new tariff. but It must be a Republican tariff,
a protective tariff, a tariff which recognizee
in all its parts the difference between
American and foreign wages, the difference
between the high acale of living of Ameri
can wae-earnfrs and the scale of living
imposed by insufficient wages upon foreign
workmen. We therefore recommend to our
delegates to the Republican National Con
vention that they urge upon the conven
tion the wisdom of declaring for a revision
of the tariff, to be made at the next ses
sion of Congress, or at a special session of
the -Sixty-first Congress to be convened im
mediately after the Inauguration of the
next President, March 4, M&OS.
We believe that our tariff should contain
a provision for minimum and maximum
rates the minimum rates giving full pro
tection, the maximum rates to be invoked
for retaliating upon foreign countries that
discriminate Ajralnnt American rtrorlm-tft.
We believe that the two main Ideas should
pervade all the provisions of the tariff:
First, that the protective principle
prevail In all the schedules that the Amer
ican farmers, workmen and producers shall
be given the first call on the home market;
and, second, that no Illegal or unjust com
bination, trust or monopoly shall And en
couragement or shelter In any of its pro
visions. To the end that the revision of the tariff
may be accomplished with th greatest pos
sible gain and the least possible loss, we
suggest to our Senators and Representa
tives in Congress that they seek to secure
at once the passage. In their respective
Houses, of recommendations directing the
proper committees to proceed immediately
to collect the preliminary Information nec
essary for a revision of the tariff, that
when the work Is entered upon all parties
In interest may be heard and the law
framed, discussed and passed without de
lay and without any disturbance of the
financial and Industrial Interests of the
country. 9 -
The platform then recommends such
financial legislation as will give the coun
try districts the same protection as the
central reserve cities and expresses confi
dence in the leaders of Congress to pass
proper financial laws; approves vigorous
enforcement of anti-trust laws; recom
mends additional laws against extortion
or discrimination; indorses the Republi
can members of both branches of Con
gress for having stood by the President;
indorses Senators Cullom and Hopkins;
indorses Mr. Cannon's official record, and
says
President Roosevelt himself tells the coun
try how faithfully and efficientry Speaker
Cannon has stood by him In his great work,
and no one Is more disposed to carry for
ward those great reforms, or better prepared
to do so than Speaker Cannon, who always
facet to the front and moves forward.
The platform concludes by unequivocally
instructing the delegates to vote for Mr.
Cannon for President and requesting dis
trict delegates to support him.

NEURALGIA
. AND SCIATICA
Why External Applications Will
Not . Give Permanent Relief
and How Dr Williams'
Pink PUis Cure
These Troubles.
Lack of blood Is almost always associat
ed with neuralgia. One medical author
ity has defined neuralgia as "the cry of
the nerves for better blood. " This is true
because th nerves receive their nourish
ment through the blood. Build up the
blood, the impoverished nerves are fed
and the neuralgio pains disappear.
Thus it is seen of how little perma
nent benefit a local or external applica
tion can be in the treatment of neural
gia or sciatica, which is a form of
neuralgia. It also shows how ex
actly suited to the cure of neural
gia and sciatica is such a remedy as
I)r. Williams' Pink Pills which acta
BOTH on the blood and the nerves.
Beside their direct action on the nerves,
which affords temporary relief from the
sciatic pains, these pills build up the
; blood, enabling It to give proper nour-
iHiimpnL go lijo lit I v ra, auu preieuii uio
further development of the disease or a
return of it, so long as the blood is kept
rich and red.
Mrs. George Henderson, whose address
is B. T. D. Ko. 1, Wynantskill, Rens
selaer Co., N. Y., says:
"A few years ago I strained my left
hip by a fall and later was troubled for
nearly a year with goiatic rheumatism.
The pains ran from my left hip down to
my heel and were so terrible that I had
to scream when trying to walk.
"My doctor didn't do me a bit of good
and I told him I was going to try Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills. The pills braced me
up fitm the start and within a month's
time I could walk some and without
pain. I took the pills for a while longer
to make sure of a permanent cure and
have never been troubled with rheuma
tism since. I can now work as well as
anyone."
The great value of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, and every organ
Is stimulated to do its work.

can party for failure to rectify the
evils of colossal combinations of capi
tal; declares that the tariff has made
these evils possible, and should be
revised on a revenue-only . bases; de
clares for an income tax, postal savings
banks, better regulation of banks, abo
lition of favoritism In the deposit of
the Treasury funds, and that surplus
revenues shall be deposited at competi
tive rates upon sufficient security and
fairly distributed throughout the -coun
try. It also favors election of United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people; approves completion of the
Panama Canal, and urges liberal appro
priations for Improvement and develop
ment of the interior waterways.
Both the Aldrich and Fowler cur
rency bills are -pposed, and emergency
currency bill is favored: ship subsidy
and indiscriminate issue of injunctions
are condemned. Efforts of the Presi
dent of the United States to dictate
the nomination of his successor were
disapproved as dangerous to our form
of government. Expenditure of ?2,
000,000.000 by .the last Congress is con
demned as waste. The financial strin
gency is cited as proof of Republican
incompetence as exploding the fallacy
that a panic is impossible under a high
tariff and a Republican administration,
and every panic is declared to have
been the product of Republican legis
lation. The sale of bonds in time of
peace, and deposit of Government
money in the banks which caused the
panic are condemned. A weekly pay
ment law is proposed, also ward or
township local option.

LOS ANGELES, March 26. Henry Hyde
Dwight, a prominent architect of this city,
who for some time has been residing on
the old Campbell-Johnson ranch at Pasa
dena, committed suicide at the ranch to
day after a warrant had been secured by
a bank at Pasadena charging him with
passing a fictitious check for J40.
When the Constable arrived at the
ranch-house with the warrant he found
Dwight in conversation with Hiram Weed,
the administrator of the estate of Mrs.
Dwight, who died about a week ago.
Dwight asked that the matter be post
poned until tomorrow, but the Constable
refused the request. Dwight, seeing his
entreaties were in vain, said:
"All right. I will go upstaris to my room
and get my hat."

chloroform. He died at 4:50.

checks and obtained various sums of
money under false pretenses, ranging in

by his Iowa admirers. Every mention
of his name --was greeted with storms
of cheering and applause.
When the resolution committee met
It heard a request from Mr. Bryan that
the ideas of the Omaha platform be

adopting the Nebraska platform with
out change, hut finally it was re-wrlt-ten.
The committee spent all the after
noon at this work.
The delegates-at-large are Claud R.
Porter, Jerry B. Sullivan, E. J. Dunn
