WILL BEAR INVESTIGATION Ohandler Thinks the Deminion Coal Com- pany Might Be Aired with Profit, GOVERNOR RUSSELL IN A DUAL ROLE Prime Mover in the Coal Scheme and Ad- inor of the President—Sundry Oivil Appropriation Bill Passed with Numerous Amendiments, WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—But one more ap- propriation bill, the deficlency, remains to be acted on by the senate, the sundry eivil having been passed today ofter a three days' disenssion. The most fmportant amendments adopted today were the Increase of the quarantine fund from $624,000 to $1,- 000,000 and donating 1,000,000 acres of “desert” lands to the states to which the desert land laws apply, as well as to the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma. The report of the conferees on the District of Columbia appropriation bill was agreed to. The Hateh anti-option bill was reported by Mr. Washburn from the committee on agriculture and placed on the calendar, Mr. Gray, chairman of the special com- mittee to investigate the charges of bribery against senators, presented the report of the committee. Dy the resolution of June 11, the committec was also instructed to investigate certain charges against members of both houses in regard to the construction and charter privileges of street railways in the District of Columbia, but no evidence or testimony had been submitted to the com- mittee and he therefore asked that they be discharged from further duty under the resolution of May 30. Messrs, Lodge and Davis (republicans) and Mr. Allen (populist) made supplemental re- ports. Objection was made by Mr. Chandler to the request of the committee to be dis- charged, at least until the report could be read and examined, and accordingly the re- quest went on the table for the present. _Phe following house bills were then passed: Placing James William Albert on the re- tired 1ist of the army with the rank of major of engineers; placing Charles B. Stivers on the retired list of the army as captain ot {nfantry; for the relief of George B. Crosby; to donate four condemned canon of the navy to Sac City, Ia., to be placed at the pedestal of the soldiers' monument, and for the con- struction of a military road from El Paso to Fort Bliss, Tex. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Chandler directing a special committee to investigate the Dominion Coal company of Nova Scotia, whether it was organizel or is belng conducted In the expectation that congress would repeal the tarilf tax on coal, whether any officers of the govern- ment are Interested in the company and whether any assurances the duty would be removed were given the company, and if 80, Who gave such assurances and whether steps are being taken to fulfill the assur- ances, was lnid before the senate, and Mr. Chandler urged its adoption. RUSSEL KNOWS A SNAP. Mr. Chandler claimed that John H. Rus- sel of Massachuseits avowed his connec- tion with the Dominion Coal company, and was to be an avowed participant in the profits to como to the company from the removal of the duty on coal. He came to Washington to glve counsel and adyice to the president and urge him to stand fast on the democratic principle of free coal The president then wrote a letter without addressing it to any one in particular, dat- ing it July 2, as a sort of stock in trade or a charge of dynamite, ready to be launched without warning on some unsuspected per- son. It was accordingly sent to Mr. Wil- son, and after due course of time and after an agonizing birth (who was the accoucheur at the advent he did not know) it saw the light of day, very much to the surprise of the senator from Maryland (Gorman) and the senator from Tennessce (Harris). thought Mr. John E. Russel, as the adviser of the president on the removal of the duty on coal, would bear investigation, and he believed the facts which had been sub- mitted not only warranted the senate in- vestigating the 'charges, but required it to_do so. Leaving the subject of coal, he took up the question of sugar, and arraigned the senate for its action in insisting on the differential duty given the refiners, speak- ing of the one-efghth differential as the one-eighth donation to the trust whose president, Mr. Havemeyer, admitted having poured out its money like water. The question was then put on the motion by Mr. Hill to lay the Chandler resolu- tion on the table, and the vice president de- clared it carried, but Mr. Chandler subse- quently asked that the vote be reconsidered, and this being done, the motion to lay on the table was defeated, 16 to 30. SUNDRY CIVIL BILL PASSED. The resoluticn went to the calendar under the rules, and it will require a vote of the senate to again bring it up for consideration. The sundry civil bill was then taken up. Amendments were adopted to pay the widows of the late Senators Vance of North Carolina and Stockbridge of Michigan $5,000 each. The appropriation for quarantine purposes was increased by $376,000, so as to make the total amount $1,000,000. An amendment was added to grant 1,000,000 acres of sur- veyed desert lands to each of the states to which the desert land laws are applicable and also to the states of Kansas and Ne- braska and the states which may be con- structed from the territories of Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona, under certain stipulations. An amendment appropriating $300,000 for the recoinage of the uncurrent silver coin in the treasury was adopted. The bill with its many amendments was then presented and passed, The general deficiency bill was then taken up, but was l1id aside, and the senate, at b o'glock, went into executive session, and at 5:10 adjourned. CEDARQUIST CASE IN THE HOUSE. Congressman Grosvenor Roundly Scores the Army Officers, WASHINGTON, Aug. 2—The house today passed a bill authorizing the purchase of the property and the franchises of the Choctaw Coal & Rallway company. A bill was passed to remove the charge of dis- honorable dismissal from the record of Cyrus Paine, Mr. Grosvenor of Ohlo arose to a que tion of privilege in connection with a reso- lutfon he iutroduced some time ago call- ing for a report from the War department upon the court martial of a soldier at Omaha for refusing to participate in tar- get practice on Sunday. A reply had been received from the War department. Mr. Grosvenor had no criticism to offer upon the ground of the court martial, viz: That a private soldier had no right to disobey the commands of his superiors, but he in- sisted that the officer ordering the Sunday target practice did so in plain viclation of tho orders of 1862 and in dircct violation of the statute of Nebraska. Mr. Grosvenor passed some severe strictures on the court martial and the general who had approved 1t and ordered Its decree executed. The action of that brigadier general sald he, “was the outgrowth either of the most stolid and Inconceivable ignorance or a total disregard of all that was right and proper.”* Mr. Grosvenor pald a high tribute to President Cleveland, who has ordered the officer who jssued the Sunday target prac- tice order o be arrested, tried and pun- ished for violation of the order of Presi- dent Lincoln. Mr. Outhwalte of Ohlo, chairman of the military affairs committee, read a letter he had received from Adjutant General Ruggles concerning the punishment of the officer who had violaled President Lincoln's order. The conference report on the District of Columbla appropriation bill was agreed to Mr. Brown of Indiana, from the committeo on elections, then called up the contested eloction case of Mooré against Funston, Beforo adjournment yesterday the house dofeated the minority report, and the vote today was taken on the majority resolution declaring Mr. Funston, the contestee, not elected, and Mr. Moore (demo.-pop.) entitled to the seat. The resolution was adopted, 145 t0 B7. Six democrats, Messrs, Barues of Wisconain, Hall of Minnesota, Grifin of Michigan, Harter of Ohlo, Paynter of Ken- tucky and Pendloton of Toxas, voted with the republicans against Mr. Moore. Upon the announcement of the vots Mr. Moore came forward to the bar of the house and took the oath amid applause Mr. Holman of Indjana, chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, then called up the confersnce report on the Indian appropri- ation bill. The report was agreed to and an- other conference was ordered on the remain- ing points of difference between the two houses At 3 o'clock the house adjourned. MISSTON MAY HAVE THE LAND, Presbyterians to Get Their School Site on the Omaha Reserve. WASIINGTON, Aug. 2.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—Congressman Meikle- John's bill to grant a patent to the Presby terlan Board of Home Missions for a site for their school in the Omaha Indian re- servation was today favorably reported by the house committee on Indian affairs. The bill has passed the senate, and has been amended by the house committee on Indian affairs, providing that the mission shall have the title only 50 long as the ground is used for educational, charitable or religious pur- poses. Congressman Meiklejohn today in- troduced a bill providing for the use of $967.04 to be expended from the appropria- tion for the public building at Fremont to pay for the paving about the building. It i not likely that this measure will receive consideration during the present session of congress, as all bills of this character will be disposed of in an omnibus bill If the committce on public grounds and bulldings can have a day set aside for a consideration of its bills. After a consultation with Congressman Mercer the house members of the conference committee on the river and harbor bill today cided to retain in the bill the appropria- tlon of $150,000 for improving the Missouri river, $75,000 of which is to be used for improvements at Omaha and Council Bluffs, The conference committee has agreed up the bill, and a report will be made just as soon as it is prepared. W. H. Timeroff was appointed postmaster at Hill City, Pennington county, S. D., vice George €. Casler, resigned. The following promotions in the classified of the Interior department took effect Wy icorge P. Tucker, Nebraska, from third assistant examiner at §1,400 to second assistant at $1,600; Miss Kate C. Davis, Nebraska, $720 to $500. Percy E. Clark, Tlow first assistant examiner at $1,800, has resigned. UNDER THE STARS AND STRIVES. O1d Glory Will Afford Protection to Both Chinese and Japanose. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—A telegram re- celved at the Japanese legation says that the Chinese government has notified Japan that the Chinese consuls throughout Japan would be withdrawn. In consequence of this action the Japanese government has notified its charge d'affairs at Pekin and its consuls throughout China to withdraw. The Japanese charge d'affairs here has asked this government to exercise its good offices to afford them, through its repre- sentatives in China, all the protection that can be rendered consistently to Japanese residents during the present trouble. No formal statement that a state of war exists between China and Japan has as yet been communicated to the Japanese legation here. It is surmised that if such a com- munication fs made to this government it will come from the United States minister at_Toklo. The Corean legation officials at this capital have been trying to communicate with their government, but without avall. The last at- tempt was via the Chinese land line, but the telegraph company returned the message with the statement thal it was uadelivered for the reason that it was refused by the Chinese administration on the ground that it was in code. At the request of the Chinese and Japanese governments, made through their representa- tives here,the State department has instructed United States Minister Dunn at Toklo and Mr. Denby, in charge at Pekin, to take under the protection of the United States the citi- zens of China in Japan and of Japan in China. This is a distinctively war measure, and although it cannot be learned at the State department that it has been regularly notified of the existence of war between China and Japan, this movement on the part of Secretary Gresham indicates that he has been so advised and is proceeding on that information. This is not the first time that the flag of the United States has afforded protection to forelgners in hostile countries, for during the Franco-Prussian war the United States min- ister at Parls took under his care the Ger- mans resident in that city. The selection of the United States in this case by both par- ties is regarded as an evidence of thelr be- lief in our absolute Impartiality. EXTENDING AMERICAN TRADE: Reports Sent in by United States Consuls of Great Asslstance to Exporters. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2—For many months the bureau of statistics of the State department has been making systematic movements to procure from our consuls in foreign ports reports indicating how Ameri- can trade may be extended in the countries where they reside. The information thus collected has in many cases been of great value to American exporters. One of the latest reports of this kind comes from Con- sul Hall at San Juan, Porto Rico. He points out the peculiarities of the Spanish taste in goods, dwells upon the importance of proper packing and presentation of the goods through responsible agents and se- verely condemns as wasteful and ineffective the promiscuous distribution of circulars. Another report from Consul General Rick- man at St. Gall is of special interest to meat exporters, embodying as it does the reports of careful inquiries’ by all of the United States consuls in Switzerland into the pos- sibilities of creating a remunerative mar- Ket for American beef, dressed and on the hoof, in that country. The general opinion 1s that the scheme is feasible and that the butchers have already a strong predisposition towards American meats. The Norweglan government has promul- gated a set of regulations governing the im- portation of lve stock into Norway. Horses which are imported must bear a certificate of healthfulness from the police authorities of the exporting country or the consul and must be inspected upon arrival by a govern- ment veterinarian. Meat, cattle, sheep and goats may not be imported from the United States nor other countries than Sweden, swine may be imported only from Russia The importation of fresh beef and pork and green hides is also prohibited. Al Opti vorably Reported. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—The senate com- mittee on agriculture has agreed to per- mit Senator Washburn to favorably repor the house anti-option bill, the members re- serving the right to oppose it when it shall come before the senate. As reported, the bill will carry an amendment providing that the delivery of articles affected by the bill may be made at any other place in th United States other than the point desig nated in the contract without incurring the penalties provided in the bill, Confirmed by the Senate. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—The senate in executive session today confirmed the fol- lowing nominations: Postmasters: Neva Nora Webber at Virginia City. Towa—James R. Lewls at Grinnell, Edward L. Nesselroad at Guthrie Center. ‘Also the following: Albert T. Spotts, to be colnor of the mint at San Franciseo; Albert G. Neal, recaiver of public moneys at Water- ville, Wesh.; Eugene M.

Sold by Goodmas Drug Co, PATRIOTISM OF THE OLD LINE | Veterans of Nebraska and Kausas Manifest Their Devotion to the Republic, NO COMPROMISE ~ WITH ANARCHY Day of Interesting Events In the Interstate Encampment at Superior—Ingalls Will Address the Patrons of Camp Lincoln Today, CAMP! | LINCOLN, SUPERIOR, Neb., Aug. Specfal to The Bee.)—Were the people who are in Superior today to remain here permanently this would be the third largest city in the state of Nebraska. There are from 20,000 to 25,000 people who are crowding Camp Lincoln and - Military avenue swarms like the Midway Plaisance a year ago. Acres and acres of the fleld south of the camp are covered with every imaginable kind of a vehicle. Farmers have come In with their whole families, some of them traveling half of the night to attend the great reunion. For many of them this is the only real recreation they have during the entire year, and they look forward to it with great expectations Nor were they disappointed; everything seems to have conspired to make this a great week and a great day. Tuesday's rain has settled the dust and put new life and Vigor into the corn. And judging from the weather one would call this the last of Sep- tember rather than the 1st of August. There are attractions for young and old on the border of the tented city, where show- man and fakir are howling themselves hoarse, and not entirely in vain. This {s a Grand Army of the Republic encampment, but the fact is not forgotten that the old soldier has a vote, and elec- tion time is close at hand. There are po- litical colonels as well as political farmers, and this is their day. The friends of Colonel Morrill from south of the line are all wearing sunflowers for the republican candidate for the governor of Kansas. Colonel Tom Majors is around grasping the hands of all the comrades and kissing all the babies. Colonel Chris Jensen and Cap- tain Lyon of Nelson, H. W. McGrew, state bank examiner; Hon. W. E. Andrews, Gen- eral Church Howe, General Gage, J. B. Erion of South Omaha, Captain Short, ex- Governor Thayer, Captain C. B. Adams, General Dick Blue of Kansas, Colonel Dawes of Kansas and a host of other men well known in politics are in camp. With the cxception of Governor Crounse, who was suddenly called east, the management has not been disappointed by any of their speak- crs. Ex-Senator Ingalls of Kansas and John M. Thurston of Omaha will be here to speak tomorrow. This morning all the bands in camp formed in procession, headed by Captain Adams and his mounted staff, and, followed by half the veterans in camp, marched to the depot to escort several of the speakers who were to arrive to the camp. When it is remembered that the young man who was 20 when the war opened is now 53 it is almost a painful sight to make the old voterans form in line. The boys in blue who stood up so straight are now bent double with age. Canes and crutches are a necessity, and the eyes that could sight a rebel at 300 yards need spectacles to see 100 feet. OLD TIME ENTHUSIASM. The program was opened by a rousing chorus in “Marching Through Georgia,” and afterwards Major Hanback introduced ex- Governor Thayer. “This is an imposing scene,” he said, “the sight of these old veterans renewing friendship of march and camp fire. It has often been asked who put down the rebellion. Like George Wash- ington, I never tell a lie. I say that Tom Majors and 1 did it, and if this will introduce the subject of politics, I want to say right here that T am for Tom Majors for governor. We fought side by side through the war and we will fight together mow. I am o republican, but I say I uphold Grover Cleveland ‘in his suppression of the recent insurrection at Chicago. ~ This is the spirit of anarchy abroad, and when the French president is assassinated in the street, when innocent women and children are murdered by bomb throwers, when anarchists burn private property from a spirit of wanton destruction, the men who once preserved the union should sce that it is not destroyed. Liberly of America shiould be the liberty of all.” Major B. N. Morrill of Kansas then took the stand. “When the rebels fired at Fort Sumter,” he sald, “a multitude of men re- sponded to the call to uphold the old flag. That was a grand sight, but it was soon to be followed by another and still grander sight. It was this million of men return- ing orderly and peacefully to their homes. They had lived through every hardship and suffering that man can endure, and now can the government be too generous to these men? The government has not been gen- erous. It has barely been just. Hero are copperheads who never saw powder smoke that tell us that a pension is a fraud and a steal. There may be a few such, but if there is a single fraud drawing a pension there are thousands of deserving veterans who cannot obtain their just deserts.” He proceeded to roast Cleveland for veto- ing the dependent pension bill, and defended the pension act of the Fifty-first congress as the best measure obtainable at the time. After adjournment for dinner the audi- cnce reassembled to listen to Licutenant Governor Majors, who said: “I would speak to you of what is going on around us today. Al about us is a spirit of unrest. Labor is dissatisfied, workshops are closed and the condition is such that people begin to ask, ‘Have we a government? NEVER VOTED FOR CLEVELAND. “I want to say I never cast my vote for Grover Cleveland and never will, but I want to say that in calling out the federal troops to suppress the Chicago strike Grover Cleveland performed the most meritorious act of his life. 1 don't agree with him po- litically, but when standing for law and order, you, I and every loyal man do and should be honest enough to say so. As we were true to our principles in the great civil conflict, let us continue to be above all things American, and true to our flag.” Laying aside his coat and exposing his hickory shirt, he continued: “‘You will ex- cuse me, ladies, but I'm warm; anyhow I am better taken with my coat off than Colonel Russell here is with his on. Ho then spoke of the object of reunions, not to open old sores, but to keep green memories of noble deeds. “‘One last word I have to say to the Grand Army of the Republic, they must stick together. Cloge up ranks as we did when we saw a comrade fall and stand by one another through thick and thin, and above all stand by law and order, and we will make this nation a modet before the world. The time is soon to come when we shall have no more re- unfons, but till the last man drops stand together. Educate your sons to live as you have lived. When you hear that the republic is in danger tell them of your lives and this republic will stand to eternity.” General Dick Blue of Kansas, the repub- lican nominee for governor, began by humor- ously annodncing to the audience, more or less at the expense of his predecessors, but in truth and fairness, that: ‘“This nation is forgetting deeds that made this nation possible. In Grand Army reunions we hear too much about chicken raids, jokes and jolly good times. They take info account too’ little of suffering and hardship. Did you ever call the rolt of Grand Army of the Republic posts to find how many bore marks of bullet and saber on their persons? Today is an age of peace, and we don't think a second such conflict possible, but the demon- strations of the past few months and few weeks give us grave fears. He reviewed the Coxey movement and re- cont Pullman struggles. “Strikes should be the methods of last resort,” he said. “It gives too much chance to anarchists and the lawless element The great question is, shall we have govern- ment or anarchy? We have preserved the unfon once in the hour of danger, and we'll do 50 a while longer.” Was Prepared to Slaughter Indian NEBRASKA CITY, Aug. 2.—(Speclal to The"Bee.)—Rabert Littlefield, aged about 18, ‘\Au arrested this mornivg, charged with stealing $100 from Mi¢“uncle, B.

Nehawka Couple Arrested for Cruelty te Thelr Child, PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Aug. 2.—There is trouble brewing down at Nehawka, a lively little village in the lower part of the county. A woman named Mra. Peter Hanson, living in that town, s charged with having picked up her infant during a fit of anger and thrown the little one violently to the ground. The child was not injured seriously, but Mrs. Hanson's neighbors resent her brutal- ity strenuously. The husband was an in- mate at the Lincoln asylum for a year or more, and the neighbors believe that the woman s also weak in her mental depart- ment. Both have been arrested by the Ne- hawka constable, and it is highly probable that they will be brought here to the county seat for an examination before the insane commission, The preliminary examination of the three men who broke into a Missouri Pacific freight car in the local yards early yesterday morn- ing was had this afternoon. The complaint of burglary was dismissed against Smithlop and Latour, the white men, and they were given a jail ‘sentence for pettit larceny. Smith the black man, who broke the car seal and stole the propbrty, was held to the district ourt for burglary. His bond was fixed at 500, and, being unable to furnish same, he was sent to jail.

This statement, in the light of the knowledge that every one of these cases was In the first instance preventable, shows how desir: able it is that everyone should understand how to avold taking the disease.” These are the words of a well known phy~ siclan, and here are some valuable suggests fons mado by him. “It 1s indigestablo food, and food taken at the wrong time which causes that condition of the system which permits the taking of cold. Whatever tends to weaken digestion and impoverish the blood, hurts the entire sys- tem and opens the way to disease.’. “The symtoms of indigestion are usually a flushed face, spots or blurs beforo the eyes, flashes of light, zig lines or chains, sense of fuilness over the stomach, belching, despondency,ete., often followed by the most severe headaches. These symtoms are usus ally relieved when the gas {s expelled from the stomach." “Whenever a person gets run down in strength, reduced In weight or becomes thin by reason of some wasting discnse, it {8 very fashionable to commence what might be well called the stuffing process. Cod liver oll preparations, farinaceous foods, beef teas, concoctions of malt, oats, second rate wines, and beef extracts are given to the unfortus nate person continually, thus ruining what little digestive power he has left and causs Ing untold suffering. 1t allowed to make & suggestion I would say, that in place of this, Pascola, the predigested food, should be glven. This not only builds up sound, healthy flesh, but rests and strengthens the digests ive organs in a remarkable way,"” “Food to the body is what fuel is to the engine. Life ceases when nourishment stops and the machinery won't go when the steam disappears.” “When a man suffers from indigestion there are seldom any fatal results, but when what the doctors call “complications” set in then is the time to pray.” *“The germs of consumption have no power over healthy tissue. Before they can attack or injure any one, that person must be run down in health fn some way, either by wors ryment, exposure or cold, long continued in- digestion, or over work or over study.” Such persons should always exercise great care and use the best and most advanced dis- coveries, For this purpose Pascola is une qualled.” Pascoola may be obtained of any reput able drugglst.
