ed i eieinatiaadl ET ATE TER, WORK OF CONGRESS Washington, April 15.—The attention of the civilized world is focused upon the senate of the United States. Upon its action probably depends the mo- mentous question of war between this country and Spain. The action of the house of representatives in adopt- ing resolutions looking to armed inter- vention in the Cuban rebellion trans ferred the center of interest and action from one wing of the great marble capitol to the other. Upon the senate, therefore, as was iterated and reiter- ated on the floor rests the respousibil- ity for delay or action. For more than six hours the senate had the resolutions proposed by tke committee on foreign relations under consideration. ‘The speeches delivered upon the various phases of the situa- tion, eloquent, spirited and vehement as all of them were, disclosed no irre- conci le differences among those who spoke. All were in favor of ac tion in some form by the government of the United States. The most Radical Difference was as to whether the resolutions finally adopted should recognize the independence of the Cuban republi or simply declare for armed interven- tion w 2 view to the ultimate free- dom and independence of the Cuban people. The speakers zton, Mr. Turpie of Indiana of Delaware and Mr. Indiana. They were most profound attention both by se: tors on the floor and by the throngs in the galleries. Among those who listened to a part of the debate were Sir Julian Pauncefote and a consid- erable number of the diplomatic corps, Speaker Reed, Jus and Hon. W. J.

Nearly ry senator was on his feet and the main aisle in front of the president's desk was crowded with senators. “The chair is himself out of order,” shouted Mr. G of Delaware. “He has no right directly to addr the people in the galleries.” “Such a thing w never done be- fore in the senate,” declared Mr, Bate of Tennessee. The applause was started by sena- tors on the floo: some one shouted from the crowd in front of the presi- dent's desk. “I started it myself,” explained Mr. Mason of Illinois, “and am prepared to assume the responsibility for it.” After vainly endeavoring on two oc- casion to agree to a time for a vote upon the resolutions, and after voting down a motion to adjourn, the senate finally amid much confusion agreed to adjourn until 10 o'clock to-morrow. —o: The session of the house w and absolutely devoid of inter The ulleries and the floor were almost deserted. During the afternoon bills were passed to authorize the secretary of the interior to rent or lease sites on forest reservations for hotels or sani toriums; for the preservation of pro- tection of public records; to settle the accounts of the State of Arkansas and the United States as to school lands; to regulate the jurisdiction of the United States circuit courts over suits in equity for the partition of ls where the United States i tenant in common: autho ng suits against an otlicer of the United States to be continued against their success oftice; for the prosecution of pe making false affidavits in pension cases and several other unimportant measures. The most important meas- ure passed was the Curtis bill for the relief of residents of the Indian Ter- ritory. dull Washington, April 16— The senate of the United States is still in the throe f discussion of the Hispanc- American crisis. While the senate talks the people of the country—of the civilized world—await its verdict. That verdict will be returned in accordance with an agreement reached late last night, some time during the legislative day of to-day. that legislative day may extend into Sunday. After the debate had continued for eight hours an effort was made to reach an agreement to begin the vote on all the pending resolutions at 7 o'clock Saturday evening, and in the confused colloquy among senators there was made manifest for the first time a disposition to filibuster. Mr. Caffery of Louisiana, although dis- claiming any intention to delay action unduly, objected to any agreement to to fixing of the time to vote. The de. bate then proceeded, but in a few min- utes Mr. Wellington of Maryland en- tered a motion to adjourn. This was defeated by the decisive vote of 61 to 10. ‘The emphatic manner in which The Decision Was Reached indicated a determination on the part of those senators who desired immedi- ate action to endeavor to force the sen- ate to remain in continuous session either until the question was finally disposed of or until an agreement hax been reached for a vote to be taken at some specific time in the future to be measured by hours. At 8 o'clock another effort was made to reach an agreement to adjourn, but it, too, was unavailing. The scene in the senate as the war of wards was being waged was a memorable one. This will pass into history as one of the great days of the senate. Thronged galleries looked down upon the half-circular chamber below where were assembled scores of men who had written pages of Ameri- can history. With one exception every member of the senate avas there, and the excepted (Mr. Walthall of Missis- sippi) was confined to his bed, ill. Among the distinguished audience were : hundred or more of the mem- bers of the house of representatives, justices of the supreme court, mem- pers of the president's cabinet and oth- ers eminent in the life of the country. An Inspiring Scene. < inspiring—a historic Scene, ely witnessed even in this f great and notable assem- in such circumstances it is 2g that the brilliant orators sessed the senate rose to and ssed their best previous ef- ion, the surround- mis subject under ¢ j them.

During the day speeches were delivered by Mr. Cullom of Ili- Berry of Arka s, Daniel of ginia, Tillman of South Carolin Wolcott of Colorado, Spooner of Wi consin, Chilton of Texas, Teller of Colorado and Stewart of Nevad: Fully twenty oth are on the vice peeches. All the deliverances were characterized by Brilliance and Eloquence but it is no detraction from the efforts of any man to say the notable utter- ances were made by Mr. Wolcott, Mr. Daniel and Mr. Spoone Mr. Daniel ried aloft the flag of recognition of the Cuban repu *s independenct while both Mr, Wolcott and M Spooner frequently supported the pol- icy of the president and the foreign re- 1 ned in- tervention with the ultimate independ- er zument of Mr. Spooner was exhaustive, profound and b Amid all the talk, however, it is not nt that a single yote on the main question has been changed. The minds of si s are made up as clearly as is A case ag Spain. A sensational incident, not real- ly growi the debate upon the pending question, occurred at ¢ in the evening. In a personal squabble over the recent trip made by Mr. Money of Mis to Cuba, between him and Mr. Welli gton of Maryland, Mr. Wellington charged Mr. Money with speaking in the s the agent of a New Yor! when, after a heated Money said “you lie” to the Mary senato Subsequently Mr. apologized to the senate for us parliamentary language. ry Washington, pril 16.—There was another lively scene in the house. RB) ing to a personal ex nation, M ley denied that he was responsible for the late scene in the house, avd said that the speaker alone was the cause of it. Hot words passed between him and Mr. Dalzell (Rep., Pa who al- leged that Mr. Bailey w taking his daily airing and t he had, as the pape st his head. Mr. Bailey responded angrily that gentle- men, when insulted and called lia urged with losing their heads nted it. He said he would infinitely prefer to lose his head in re- senting such an insult than his self- respect in submitting to one. The house keyed up to an intense pitch. The Democrats applauded Mr. 's utterances and the Repub- broke into cheers when the speaker, with a voice trembling with suppressed excitement, declared that he refused to enter into a di: sion of his course with Mr. Bailey. Whatever he had dene on Wednsday last, or on any other day, had ben done in the presence of the house and cf 1,000 w nesses. He scored Mr. Bailey severe- ly and said he was ready to rest his justi jon upon the judgment of those who had witnessed it. Mr. Bai- ley attempted to reply, but the regular order was demandd and routine busi- ness resumed. ISSUE AN ULTIMATUM. WILL Course of Action Mapped Out by the Cabinet.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a: rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- tion can be taken out and this tube re- stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is | nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

It is easy for any one to understand that Alabastine, the base of which is a cement. that when applicd to any clean solid surface goes through a process of setting and grows hard with age, should be durable, that is, not rub and scale off, but admit of recoating from time to time without having to wash and scrape off its old coats before renewing. It is equally pas that all kalsomines are the reverse of this, being manufactured from whiting,chalks, clays. etc., for a base, and being stuck on the wall with give which when exposed to the air, moisture, etc., soon decays, and the rubbing and scaling then commences, leaving the wall in a terrible condition. On account of this bad repute, most manu- facturers of kalsomines brand their products ‘With some arbitrary name, but the contents of the package still ‘remain a kalsomine. Ala- bastine is for sale by druggists and paint dealers everywhere. —— MUCH SICKNESS Particularly throat and lung difficulties, wrongly attributed to other causes, is the result of unsanitary conditions of walls and ceilings. Think of having bedrooms covered with layers of molding flour paste to fieed vermin, with paper to hide them and to absorb the moisture of respiration, and an animal glue culture ground on its face for disease germs; this having strong colors added, like a colored shirt, to hide the dirt; then think of “the nasty practice” of repeating this paper- ing, without removing the old, and a number of Limes at that, as many do. Then think ofa room coated with pure, porous, permanent Alabastine, which is retinted with but little trouble or expense, and is purifying and sweet-smelling and fills cracks. Wall paper free would be dearer than Alabastine if cost of removing paper is considered. TO DEALERS. Do not buy a law suit or an injunction with cheap kalsomines, imitatations of Alabastine. Dealers assume the risk of a suit for damages by selling an infringement. Alabastine Com- pany own the right, covered by letters patent, to make and sell wall coating adapted to be mixed ‘cold water.
