- “« { ) 4 WHOIS DEMOCRACY'SPROPHET e Representative Oameron of Illinois Asks Rome Pertinent Questions, LIVELY CROSS FIRE IN THE HOUSE Van Alen and Wanamaker's Politieal Con. tributions, the Hawalian Policy, the Counting Rule and Tarift All Lugged In. Quord WASHINGTON, April 18.—The house de- voted the entire day to debate on the consu- lar and approvriation bills. It touched a varfety of subjects and at times was brim full of interesting personali- ties. The Hawalian policy of the present administration came in for a good share of attention. The appointment of Van Alen as minister to Italy provoked a very extende diplomatic wide discussion. It was held up to ridlcule by the republicans, who intimated that it was a direct reward for his $50,000 contributed to the democratic campalgn fund, ocrats, in defending the appointment, tried to counter on the Harrison administration by detailing the history of the $400,000 cam- paign fund raised by cx-Postmaster General Wanamaker, Later in the day Mr. Wise took up the authorship of quorum counting a8 a parllamentary anti-filibustering expedi- The dem- ent, and quoted from the record to show that the first proposition in this line had been offored by J. Randolph Tucker, a Vir- Kinfa deme t, in 1880, when it had been vigorously opposed by Mr. Reed. Mr. Walker of M aclinsetis met this attack on the ex- wpeaker's fame by shrieking out before the hovse the record of the demceratic opposi- tion to the guorum counting rule in the Fifty-first congress, speaker Carlisle leading the o sitic Befors the Jjournal was approved today Mr. Burrows, republican of Michigan, called attention to the fact that Mr. Wheeler of Alabama who spoke for exactly one minute on the quorum count- ing rule had printed in the record against the cxpress provision of the house a speech which oceupied four columns. ‘I know Mr. Wheoler is a rapid talker,” sald Mr. Burrows dryly, “but I doubt his ability to_accomplish such a feat as that. As Mr. Wheeler was not present it was de chled o allow the matter to go over until he could speak for himsclf. Mr. Dunphy, democrat of New York, asked unanimous _consent for the consideration of the New York znd New England bridge bill. Mr. Kilgore, democrat of Texas, stated rather sarcastically that as the house now had rules by which it could transact busi- ness he could not agree to any requests for unanimous consent. He demanded the reg- ular order, which was equivalent to an ob- fection. After the call of committees for reports, the hou went into committeee of the whole, Mr. Bailey of Texas taking the chalr, for the further consideration of consular and diplomatie appropriation bills. Mr. Grow, republican, of Pennsylvania took the floor and vigorously arraigned the Hawaiian policy of the administration. Mr. McCreary of Kentucky, in reply, ed that inasmuch as the house had dis- cussed the Hawaiian matter for five days and had adopted resolutions expressing the sense of the house, he regarded it res ad- Judicata. Mr. Hooker of Mississippi, a_member of the foreign affairs committee, followed with a defense of the president's Hawailan policy. PELT4 1t still the purpose of the prosident to restore the queen?” asked Mr. Van Vorhis of New York. Mr. Hooker aid that had been left to be ided by congress Mr. Milliken of Maine replied to some of Mr. Hooker's stricutres on ex-Minister Stevens, In the course of which he pre- Qicted 1t would not be many years before the American flag would be raised over Hawali, and under auspices that would insure its re- maining there. Mr. Coombs of New York made some practical suggestions in advocacy of a com- plete reform of the consular service in the interest of an extension of our forelgn trade. Mr. Quigg of New York, in the course of de some general remarks, criticising the Van Alen appointment, got into a verbal duel with Mr. Enloe of Tennessee. He had, in reply to a question from Mr. Enloe, asserted he was elected to congress last January, be- cause a chance had been offered the Four- teenth congressional district of New York, with its 10,000 democratic majority, to record a yea and nay vote on the Wilson bill. “DId you accomplish what you came here for?" asked Mr. Enloe. “Did you Kkill the Wilson bill, as you said you would in your campaign?"* [ did not say I would,” replied Mr. Quigg. “I said the election of a republican in a democratic district would do much toward defeating the Wilson bill, and I think the Wilson bill is smashed.” ~_“Perhaps you are the author of the speech agalnst the Wilson bill delivered the other day by Senator Hill?" suggested Mr. Enloe, sarcastically. I had not that honor, Quigg. “We republicans know to take care of himself. ~He has done so frequently to our dismay and discomfort, and 1 thought to your satisfaction.” Messrs. Meredith of Virginia and Enloe of Tennessee took a hand in the disenssion of the Van Alen incident, using the Harri- son appointment of Mr. Wanamaker to replied Mr. he is able me t all thrusts. “Cortain facts have been developed by this debate,”” interrupted Mr. Reed. “First, that Whitney is a_good man; second, that Cleveland is a good man, and, thirdly, that Van Alen was not appointed to office be- cause he contributed $50,000 to the demo- cratic campaign fund. Now, why was he appointed ?” ~ “If he had been appointed because of his contribution,” said Mr. Enloe, “that would be the strongest and best reason for his appointment from a republican standpoint. 1 know nothing of the facts, but I will say this in his defense; he, at least, had the decency not to insult the American people by accepting office as did John Wana- malker.’ nnon of Tllinols, who followed Mr. , waxed sarcastic. “I would not say anything,” said he, “against that great as good man, Grover Cleveland. If I dipped my tongue in gall T could not say anything as mean against him as the democratic press is saying.” Ho created great amuse- ment by telling how the democratic na- tional convention had prepared a platform, and how, afterwards, ‘‘that great and good man' had written a letter modifying it. Turning do the democratic side, he asked: “Who I your prophet? Is it Grover? Is It Walter Q.2 Is it David B.? or Hoke Smith?" “Give It up,” ejaculated Mr, Burrows, amid great laughter, Mr. Cannon struck right and left. He ferred to Mr, ot destiny from know why the wild-eyed son and wanted to democrats, in chosing men for the responsible off in the giflt of their administration, were obliged to draft renegade 1 icans or mugwumps After Mr. Cannon had conelud the debate took a different shoot. Mr. Wise of Virglnia delivered a speech in which he Bland as the Missourl," challenged the right of Mr. Reed to claim the eredit for the idea of counting members to make up a quorum. The originator of of that idea, he asserted, was John itan- | dolph 'Tucker of Virginia, who fouriecen | years ago proposed a modification to the rules designed to take into account in de- termining the presence of a quorum mem- | bers present but refusing to vote, but on that oceasion Mr. Reed had with great vehemenco denounced the proposition.

When the tariff bill was taken up today in the senate Senator Morrill delivered a tirade against the bill, denouncing the in- come tax with especlal vehemence. The senator from Vermont expressed his regret that the financial and industrial cri- sis had to be continued by a vainglorious and clumsy attempt to carry out the demo- uf. cratic platform. = He made some rather biting references to the trouble in which the democrats found themselves over the bill and pointed out some of the items in which he thought they had comy 1 with thelr principles and provided A pro- tective tariff on such articles as would win votes for the bill. “Concerning the rates of duties reported in the tarift bill, it is no violation of the confidential relaiions of the senate mittee on finance to state they we now, and were determined, without votes of the republicans and agains the votes of any hesitating or div minority of the democratic members. gent Thus many of the most important questions may have been determined by the small frac- tion of three or four of a committes of eleven, but while the process of evolution was a great novelty, it will not be con- troverted that all the rates of duty are of the purest democratic origin. Tariffs ‘for revenue only’ prove to be only political tariffs, valid only until after the next elec- tion," He pointed out in detail what he consid- ered the special evils of the bill, the first being the obsolete ad valorem system. The provisions of the bill, he thought, were e pecially destructive to the prodictions tne farmer, Reciprocity arrangements, which benefit farmers, were to be abro- gated.

Senator Turple of Indiana spoke in sup- port of the tariff bill. He discussed the subject of a high tarift on agricultural in- terésts, introducing the topic by the asser- tion that agriculture was a natural monop- ¢ from the cheapness of the land, and it 1s from those engaged in agricultire that the demand for the repeal of the existing law was loudest, At 3:40 Senator Turple concluded his speech and Senator Cameron of Pennsyl- yiniatook the floor in opposition to- the bill.

THE_OMAHA MEYER SPRINGS A SURPRISE New Bill Introduced for Coining the Silver Seigniorage, COINAGE COMMITTEE IS NONPLUSSED 1Mis Selgniorage and Low Interest Honds BUL Presented with an Assurance, Well Backed Up, that It Meets the President's Wishes. WASHINGTON, April 18.—Mr. Bland coinage committee met today for the first time since the silver seigniorage struggle and were treated to a genuine surprise. Rep- resentative Meyer of Loulsiana was present to urge his bill for colning the selgniorage and for low interest bonds, and in doing so he stated authoritatively that the measure had the approval and was in part suggested by Secretary Carlisle, and in the judgment of the secretary would be signed by the presi- dent. To this extent the bill was regarded as an administration one and as satlsfac- torily overcoming the objections of Mr. Cleve- land's veto of the Bland bill. The bill, Mr. Meyer explained, provided for coining the seigniorage and so amended the resumption act that 3 per cent bonds would in future be issued in lleu of the 4% and 5 per cent bonds, After discussing the measure Mr. Harter asked: “Is it to be understood that this bill is satisfactory to the secretary of the treas- ury and in his judgment will be approved by the president?” Mr. Meyer answered: ‘“Yes. I can that the bill was submitted to the se tary and meets his approval, and in his judgment it will fully meet the views of the president and receive his signature.” Mr. Dingley expressed surprise at this, as he said the objections of the president's veto would not be met by the low rate bonds of the Meyer bill. Mr. Meyer added: “I would not wish to revive the silver question if it were likely to result in a fruitless discussion and another veto. This bill was submitted to Secretary Carlisle with the suggestion that I did not wish to introduce it unless there was some assurance of its approval. Mr. Carlisle con- say sidered it several days and suggested several changes. From these the present bill was framed, which, in the opinion of Mr Carlisle, will be broad enough to meet all contingencies. I can therefore state author- itatively t it meets the approval of the secretary of the treasury and in his judg- ment it will be approved by the pres'dent.”” The measure was discussed by the com- mittee, but no conclusion was reached upon it. Secretary Carlisle was shown at the Treas- ury department the statements made in the coinage committee. He declined to discuss the merits of the Myer bill. It is learned, however, that the bill as originally prepared was presented to Mr. Carlisle, who, at Mr. Myer’s request, dictated a revision of it, the presumption being that as revised it met his approval. It is not belicved, however, the matter has been brought to the attention of the president, and whether he will ap- prove it if presented to him is problematical. Brazillan Rebels Owo the Amnesty Largely to the United Stat WASHINGTON, April 18, —For the clemency shown and the general amnesty extended by President Peixoto the Bra rebels have to thank the United Sta it was through the efforts of Secretary Gresham that the expediency and propriety of this humane course was urged upon the Brazilian government. Although we have declined to act in conjunction with other nations, notably Italy and Portugal, in making a joint representation to this end, the United States has acted perhaps more effectively and certainly in a manner more ogreeable to the Brazilian government in securing its object. Our government has made no formal proposition, nor anything that could be construed into a demand, to yield to which would have stung the pride of the great nelghboring republic. unofficial way, through Minister Mendonca, it has been made clear to President Peixoto that he would add to the glory of his triumph and sooner restore good feeling at home and retain respect abroad by kindly and humane treatment of the defeated and crushed rebels. The representations were made entirely In the spirit of friendly ad- vice toward a nation In whose welfare the United States feels the deepest interost, and, as President Peixoto appears to have re- celved them In the spirit in which they were offered, the United States, it is believed here, has gained in prestige without sacrifice of the well established principle of noninter- vention, GAS AS A MOTOR POWER. Experiments In Europe for Superseding Electrle Propulsion, WASHINGTON, April 18—The coming motor for the propulsion of street cars will bo gas, according to the report of Consul General Mason at Frankfort, Germany. H e shows that the Germans, as the result of exhaustive experiments, have determined that the gas motor is the cheapest and best of all means of power propulsion. The re- port tells of the great expense of the cable in construction, the noise and danger of the trolley, and of the high operating cost and unreliability of the underground eleetric sys- tem, and then coming back to the gas motor he describes experiments t been made with it in Europe. trials have been & and at Dresden, and the results in both cases, while perhaps not wholly conclusive, have been so favorable as to be worthy of examination. The Neuchatel cars cost $2,856 each, p 100-foot curves, run backward or forward with seven-horse power, traverse any part of the line, which is forty feet higher at the midway point than at the ends, at a speed of seven and a half miles an_hour. ‘he cost of operating by gas Is found to be 25 per cent cheaper than by electricity and the cost of equipment is also much cheaper. ave Practical wde at Neuchatel, Switzerlan ER CONFERENCE BROACH SILY Mexico the Moving Scheme, WASHI 'ON, April 18.—Another inter- national monetary conference, this time per- in Promoting the haps to be held in the City of Mexico, Is among the probabilities. The Mexican overnment, through its diplomatic repre- sentatives, Is quietly pressing upon the atten- tion of the powers the feasibility of again undertaking an adjustment of the monetary question and the time is believed to be ripe for further efforts in that direction.

I tried these until the very sight of them was sickening. My stomach r elled against them. Then I tried farinaceous fonds, prep- tions of wheat, barley, oats and malt. They only fermented in my stomach, caus- ing acld gases to rise in my throat till my head was ready to burst. 1 steadily ran down, had fearful night sweats, and coughed constantly. I suffered o intensely during this period that death wouid often have been a welcoma relief. “It was at this critical state, had almost heen abandoned by that I received a call from a very kind friend. He was shocked at my wasted, run down condition. After hearing my un- lappy story he said, ‘T think I understand your case and I believe I know of something Which will perhaps make a well man of you. when hope my family, In fact, if it will not help you, I know of nothing that will. It is certainly worth a trial. It Is a scientific discovery which is creating a great stir in the highest med- sted food which ical circles.

It enters at once into the Dblood and the vital parts of the body, giving nourishment to the flesh and blood: It bullds up the system in a wonderful man- ner, He gave me a pamphlet which I read very carefully and I determined as a last_resort to follow his advice, “Hoping against hope, I began (he use of the food my friend had recommended. You can imagine with what anxiety I waited to sce the result, even as a drowning man clutches at a straw. At first there was no perceptible change in my condition. Then, somehow, 1 seemed to be gradually losing my disagreeable stomach troubles. ~ Dy de- grees, one depressing symptom after another left me, until at last T was able to eat with- out suffering. Then I began to gain more rapidly. 1 found that the predigested food not only gave my system new life and vigor, but it toned up the stomach and my entire body in a remarkable way. It en- abled other food to digest and it increased my vitality to an unusual extent. My re- covery progi sed to such a degree that in six weeks my weight was greatly Increased, I went back to my work a well man, and I unhesitatingly say that I owe my recovery and present condition wholly to Paskola, the great predigested food, which took me from the lowest physical depths and re- stored me to the life and health I now pos- se! ars of my- “My recovery shows that the f self and family that I was suffering from consumption were unfounded. Since my recovery 1 have naturally given conside ble thought to the subject and have co sponded with many people who have been troubled as I was. EFrom my experience and what I have learned, I firmly bel that haif the deaths that occur from so- called consumption and other wasting dis- cases are due directly to lack of nouish- ment. Loss of flesh is a sure sign of dis- ease. No person whose weight did not de- crease ever died of consumption. Indiges- tion and mal-assimilation of food 1s tie great American disease of the present day. Thousands of men and women too, are suf- fering just as I did and yet they do not know it and cannot realize it. It is a most insidious, a most deceptive trouble. While it has certain symptoms, they vary with di ferent people and it is not until a person is brought low by reduced flesh and disease that a full realization of the danger fs felt. “I have endeavored to give my experience in the hope that others who may be travel- ing the same dangerous road and yet do not realize it, may be warned in time and be restored as I was. I beliove that all such people, provided they have not confirmed consumption, can be saved, If they will take advantage of the latest and best dis- covery which science has made for their benefit. 1 believe that medicine will fail to cure such cases, but that a predigested food like Paskola, which can now be se- cured of any reputable druggist, will effect far better results than drugs. I shall bo pleased to answer all inquiries that may be addressed to me upon the subject, although I make the above statement voluntarily and solely for the good I hope it may be the means of doing.
