THE PROCRAME. What the Senate and House Will Do the Coming Week. THE CHESS CAME BY STATESUEY. ! | i} | atch Between i ‘The Arrangements for th Americans and Britis! Postal Delegates on a Janket—Cuban Question—Oklahoma Statehood. rs Completed Wasiinctox, Ma; —In the senate } on Tuesday, ten weeks and a day after the beginning of the session, the tariff bill will be taken up, for the passage of which the extra session was espe- cially called. The bill was to have been called up to-day, but the death of Senator Earle, of South Carolina, will render necessary an adjournment foraday. Senator Aldrich will call up the bill, move its consideration and make a speech in its support. The democratic amendment striking out the internal revenue features of the | bill will be introduced by Senator Vest. After this the course of pro- cedure is somewhat indefinite. The democrats are not clear as to whether they will permit the immediate taking up of the schedules or will demand an opportunity to make set speeches bear- ing upon the general policy of the bill, The silver republicans and populists will seek opportunity dur- ing the pendency of the bill to pr sent some remarks ofa political nature and some of them may be heard during the week. The general sentiment among straight republicans is adverse to the encouragement of and gen- eral discussion of the bill or to long speeches on the schedules, but no party policy has yet been decided upon. The conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill probably will be considered some time during the week. The conference committee has practi- cally agreed upon a compromise on the forestry reservation provision, which they hope will prove satisfactory to all parties, but whether it will or not can only be determined when the report is presented to congress The Morgan resolution recognizing the belligerency of the Cuban insur- gents, which passed the senate Thurs- day, will not be acted upon by the house this week. This is the decision of the republican leaders. They have decided to block the resolution until the plans of the president, which are now maturing, are fully formulated. There will doubtless be a demand on the part of the minority for immediate action, but they are powerless to se- cure consideration unless the rules committee will report a special order. This the rules committee will not do. The majority will antagonize an at- tempt to force consideration with a motion to adjourn ontil Thursday. On ‘Thursday the conference report on the Indian or sundry civil bill may be ready. If one or the other is not ready the house will adjourn until the fol- lowing Monday. THE CHESS GAME BY STATESMEN. Wasutneton, May 24.—The arrange- ments for the match games of chess between five selected individual play- ers of the house of representatives and alike number from the British house of commons are practically completed. The games will be begun at two o'clock p.m., Washington time, and seven o'clock, London time, and con- tinue four hours, 15 moves to the hour. If not completed in the agreed time the games will be finished on June 1. Two wires from Washington and New York will be given up to the games, and it isexpected that not more than three minutes will be consumed in transmitting the several moves be- tween London and Washington. POSTAL DELEGATES ON A JUNKET. WASHING TO: fay 24.—The members of the Universal Postal congress re- turned to Washington Sunday after a cruise down the Chesapeake. There were about 155 persons in the party, and visits were made to Fort Monroe, Newport News, Norfolk and the navy yard at Portsmouth, Va. The party went by way of Baltimore, special trains being placed at their disposal, and the water trip was made on the York line steamer Charlotte. The congress will be taken on a trip through the west about the first week inJune. The plan at present contem- plates a visit to Yellowstone park and stops at some of the leading cities. THE CUBAN QUESTION. WasHINGTON, May 24.—The president is hearing a great deal about Cuba. He is being made to feel that the people of the United States are anxious for some- thing to be done. Letters urging ac- tion are coming in great numbers. It is notable that this feeling seems to be much stronger in the west than in the east. Until the strangth of the popn- lar feeling was shown it did not seem probable that anything would be done speedily. It cannot be said now that anything will be done at once. But the Cuban question is certainly very much in the president's thoughts. ‘ OKLAHOMA STATEHOOD DELAYED. WASHINGTON, May 24.—Gov. Cassius M. Barnes, of Oklahoma, called on Secretary Bliss before leaving for Guthrie. He said regarding the pros- pects for the admission of Oklahoma as astate that the prevailing idea in the territory now is to delay admission until Oklahoma and the Indian terri- tory could come into the union asa single state. This, he thought, could be accomplished in a few years. Doctors May Levy for Services. Gutnrir, Ok., May 24.—Chief Justice Dale has just made an important rul- ing.

Bryan to day telegraphed from Lin- colo, Neb., the following statement, made ia reply to the question of how the democratic party can be united again. He eaye: “I might reply to your inquiry by | saying that there is now entire bar mony within the democratic party. The members of the party were never more uaited in purpose or more zealous than at the present time; neitber is there lack of harmony among the democrats. They seem just as determined to carry out re- publican policies as they were dur- ing the campaign. If, however, you mean by your question to ask whether there is any common two democratic organizations can meet, I answer, No! democrats and the bolters now have separate and distinct party organiza- tions. which is Mammon, no one can serye both. Itisas impossible for a per. son to belong to both democratic organizations as it is for a person to be both a democrat and a republican at the same time. No democrat who believes that the gold etandard is a conspiracy formed among the money changers for the enslavement of the producers of ths wealthy caa act with the gold democrats, and no gold democrat who believes that the res- toration of silver will ruin the coun- try can act with the regular demo. | If any one who now belieyes | crate. in free coinage hereafter becomes converted to the gold stendard, it will ba aneasy matter to transfer his | allegiance to the bolting organiza tion; if any one who now believes in | the gold standard becomes convinced of his error, the way is cpea for his | but any attempt at compromise will | not only be futile but will be disas- trous to tha regular organization.

Medicine. There isa medicine whose proprietors do not claim to have discovered some hitherto unknown ingradient, or that it is a cure-all. This honest medicine only claims to cure cer- tain diseases, and that its ingredients are rec- ogpized by the most skilled physicians as being the best for Kidney and bladder disease. It is Foley’s Kidney Cure. At J A Trimble’s. promise must be at the expeose of the advocates of bimetallism There can be no permanent peace, not even a truce, without a cessation of hostilities, and a cessation of hos tilities means the preservation of ex- isting conditions. In other words harmony between the regular demo crats and the volters mean3 the maiatenance of the gold standard as long as that harmony laste. Not cnly does harrsony mean the temporary maintenance of the gold standard, but it gives to the gold democrats a party standing which will make them more potent for evil in the next contest. Much of the harm which they did in 1896 grew out of the fact that they used the democratic name for the pur pose of deception If the bolting organization is left alone it will be powerless to deceive by the time we enter upon another natioval contest. If, however, the two organizations patch up a tempe- | rary peace, the distinction between them will become to some extent obliterated and the same fraud can be perpetrated in 1900 which was perpetrated in 1896.

BRAWN AND BRAIN. Interesting Statement Made by the Director of Physical Culture in the Missouri Uni- versity. CotumpBia, Mo., May 24.—An inter- esting statement was made Friday by Dr. G. W. Cutler, director of physic- al culture in the Missouri university, regarding the results of his experi- ments of the past year in the physical training of students. The experi- ments went to prove that physical training is of great benefit, mentally as well as physically, and is of great assistance to the students in their studies. Dr. Cutler made his report after careful grading and mathematic- al calculation. He took an equal number of students who pursued the regular course of gymnasium exercises and of students who did not, and com- pared results. The majority who took physical culture grew in lung capacity, in weight and in lift power, while at the same time they ranked 85 per cent. in their grades in the class room to an average of SG per cent. rank held by the students who took no exercise. These are the first experiments of a similar char: conducted in any col- lege or un Y west of the Missis- sippi river. HE LACKED NERVE.

The Young Messenger Wko Stole $30,000 Captured and the Money Recovered. FARMINGTON, Me., May 24.—Albert M. King, the 17-year-old Boston bank messenger who disappeared on Tues- day with $50,000 of the bank’s money, was arrested here to-day.

No, indeed. At least 100,C00 other democrats staid away from the polls or voted for McKinley. The democratic party in New York is strong, but it cao not stand the loss of 142,000 voters. They must be got back. Some com mon ground must be found, aud I am hopeful that the needed issue will appear at the right time Judging from what ex President Cleveland said at the Reform Ciub dinner, he is still for war and dis- sension. Ido not agree with Mr. Cleveland on this point. Tbis is not a country that tolerate: feuds. Nothing is cso disastrous to the health of a great party as for oue man to become imbued with iho idea that his party must punish his yer- sonal enemies. It wis tried by Mr. Blsice in this state in the case of Judge Folger and the effect upon Mr Blaine’s futare vas momentous. Conservatism is wha: we need, and we heed it now.
