WASHINGTON, May 7.—Mr. McGann of IMinois, as chairman of the house committee on labor, has framed a terse joint resolu- tion proposing the appointment of a com- mittee of three senators and three members of the house to inquire into the cause of the present Industrial depression and idleness and to report within thirty days both on causes and probable remedies. The resolu- tion will be laid before the house on Wednes- day. The resolution is to make the inquiry on broad lines, so that the effects of the tarift uncertainty, silver legislation, etec., will all be considered without reference to the politices involved. Mr. McGann says he thinks it can be done and that it might do a positive good irre- spective of the, political theories which suffer. Tland Struck a Snag. WASHINGTON, May 7.—Representative Bland's hopes of reporting a free coinage bill are considerably interfered with by the contiued absence of Representative Allen, a member of the coinage committee. Mr. Al- len is a free silver man, and if he had been present at the committee meeting last Thursday it would have given Mr. Blana the margin of one vote ecessary to report the bill. But without him the committee was o fie, with prospects of remaining so. To meet the emergency Mr. Bland has se- cured a letter from Mr. Allen stating that the latter desired to vote to report the Dbill. But this move has been offset by Rep- resentatives Tracy and Harter, who have objectjons to all proxy voting. Thus the free coinage bill Is at a standstill until Mr. Allen returns, and even the anti-silver men, In the event of another absentee, will probably postpone the reporting of the bill, Representative Tracey of New York said today: “There are not flve men in the entire house who want the silver fight re- opened.” To Tuvestigate Coxey's Treatment WASHINGTON, May 7.—The open session of the senate lasted but half an hour to- day and was devold of all public Interest save the introduction by Senator Allen of Nebraska, who Is defending Coxey and his licutenants in the police court, of a reso- lution for the appointment of a special com- mittee of five senators to investigate the al- leged clubbing by the Washington police of the leaders of the Commonweal when the army tried to break into the capitol grounds last Tuesday. The resolution went over until tomorrow, and will probably be called up as soon as the senate meets. The senate spent six hours behind closed doors and then opened them in order to agree to a conference on a bill regulating liquor licenses in the District. Milliken Amuses the House. WASHINGTON, May 7.—The house began business today by making some committee provision for the mewly elected members of the house. The printing office bill was iscussed until 5:07 o'clock, but long before that hour the debate fell into a tariff dis- cussion, and Mr. Milliken of Maine deliv- ered an amusing speech, arralgning the democratic party for bringing on the finan- clal depression which the country has been suffering from. At 5:12 the house adjourned, To Reduce Sugar Bounty by Appropriations. WASHINGTON, May 7.—Representative Breckinridge of Arkansas of the committeo on ways and means today Introduced the fol- lowing resolution: ““Resolved, That the com- mittee on rules is hereby instructed to re- port a rule making It in order to amend any general apprepriation bill so as to reduce or repeal the bounty and tariff on sugar, or either of them, Unclo Sam Pays the Bill, WASHINGTON, May 7.—Senator Me- Pherson of New Jersey Introduced today in the senate a bill for the rellef of Reur Admiral Stanton and the officers and en- listed men of the wrecked Kearsarge. 1t provides remuneration for thelr personal osses In the wreck.

Wileox, All Expect to See Cleve- land's Polley Endorsed -Ready to Overthrow Dole. WASHINGTON, May 7.—Probably fow members of congress realize just how strained the situation 18 in Hawall today and what exciting news we are likely to receive from there shortly after adjourn- ment, it not earlier. A letter, dated April 6, just received by C. C. Moreno from R. W. Wilcox of Honolulu puts the case in this wa very Hawalfan expects to learn of the final decision of the Hawalian question on the arrival of the steamer Mariposa, which is expected on the 12th. They look only for fair play on the part of the senate. They ask simply that the senate will support Cleveland’s policy for the restoration of the status quo ante the 16th of January, 1892, when Stevens, the jingo representative of the United States, overthrew the legitl- mate government and established a mission- ary oligarchy, .which is a disgrace to the United States and a disgrace to modern civilization. The Hawailans are keeping the peace, notwithstanding the insults they have received from the provisional govern- ment, for they wish to show every regard and courtesy to President Cleveland and his policy. A bloody revolution will follow, however, if the senate falls in its duty and throws contempt upon the honor, integrity and justice of the policy of the chief magis- trate of the United States toward Hawail. Whatever the senate may do, you may rest assured that I will do my duty to my coun- try, and that very soon.| “S. M. Damon, minister of finance of the provisional government, has given his as- surance to Samuel Parker that the provi- stonal government would retire fa a body and surrender control of the kingdom to the queen as soon as It learns that the senate approves of President Cleveland's policy. The scheme of the provisional government for inducing the Hawaiians to forswear thelr independence and forsake their queen turns out a complete failure. “The Chinese have organized as a body to secure the restoration of the queen fin case the United States senate fails to do justice. The Japanese have taken the same course. These, bear in mind, ave all apart from the Hawaiians themseives and from the white foreigners. The Hawalians are g0ing to hold a mass meeting next Monday to denounce the fraudulent constitutional convention and the mock republic set up by the missionaries. ALLEN WANTS TO KNOW WHY.

What food does it eat? Starchy food. 1t can digest food. The animals that ecat starchy food are the heaviest in the world, as witness the elephant, the rhilnoceros, the horse, the steer, etc. It is well known that people who are too fat are alwavs advised by doctors not to eat starchy food. The reverse Is always true. 1f you want to get fat cat starchy food. But digestion. Anaemics and That is often the trouble. dyspeptics cannot properly digest starchy food. It causes pain, eruc- tations and distress. By eating starchy food that has been artificlally digested, you can overcome this trouble. Paskola " Is such a food Tha speclalists who first prepared F made it of starch because they knew that starch is the only food that fattens. They made It of fruit because fruit Is naturally healthy, and because the fruit of which Paskola is prepared contains ferments which help to digest other food. They thought Paskola would be a good food for thin people, but they little thought it would be such a wonderful success as it has become. What it does for one person makes ten riore buy it. It cures skola have the slightest doubt of this read what follows: PORTSMOUTH, Va., March 7, 1804, The Pre-Digested Food Co., 30 Reade st., New York. Gentlemen: T have for more than three years been affiicted with very weak stomach, the most distressing symptom of which was a dreadful nausea after eating. In many cases I lost my meals entirely, es- pecially breakfast, as my stomach was weaker in the mornings than at other times. T have had a great many doctors of different cities prescribe for me, but none of them gave me any permanent re- lief. They all said I was suffering from indigestion. They would give me pepsin and a tonfc to bulll up my debilitated system, but I did not experience any ma- terial benefit from any of them. I became thin, very thin, in fact I was extremely emaciated. A physician recom- mended the use of the “Emulsion of Cod Liver Oll,’ but my stomach was so very weak that It seemed to aggravate the nausea and I could not continue it. In fact, nothing did me much good until I began the use of Paskola. Now my appetite is splendid, my food does me good. I have gained in flesh and have not suffered that dreadful nausea after eating one single time ‘since the very first dose of the food I ever took. I really cannot_say too much in favor of it and I sincerely hope that any one suffering as I did may take this means of relieving them- selves, as it is a speedy and certain cure. Yours very respectfully, MRS. A. D. MOSELEY, 220 High st. ELBERTON Ga., April 6, 1894, The Pre-Digested Food Co., 30 Reade st., New York. Gentlemen: Your sample of Paskola came safely to hand. 1 did not give it to others but took it myself. Was from home while taking it and did not weigh, but it is all you claim it to be, a flesh maker, aid in digesting other diets, and not only a food, but very pleasant to take. With thanks I am Most respectfully, D. P. BELL, M. D. Paskola may be obtained of any reputable druggist.
