MEASURE COMES UP TUESDAY Possibility Vote May Be Reached nd of that Day—Postal Sav- ings Bank Bill Also Tied Up. | WASIINGTON, May %).—The plans of republicanleaders in congress have gone awry so many times in the last several weeks that they are chary of announcing any program for the remaining days of the present sesslon or of speculating on How long that perod is likely to be. In the senate the men in charge of the railroad bill would have staked their repu- tations upon the certainty that there would be a final vote upon it before the end of last week. In the house the republican cau- cus continued for three nights in succes- slon for the purpose of perfecting the postal savings bank bill, but an agreement was not reached and one is not in sight. The caucus will be resumed next Wednesday night The situation in connection with the rail- road was complicated by the introduction of an amendment, relating to mergers of rail- roads which was offered by Senator Brown of Nebracka, just before the adjournment on Friday, The provision contains all of the prohibitive features of the original section 12, and none of the advantages for the raflroads contained in the section struck out. So invelved did the situation become that the leaders hastily adjourned the session expecting to resume consider- ation of the bill yesterday, but the speech of Senator Lorimer prevented. The sena- tors in charge of the bill do not want the Brown amendment, but it may be difficult for them to defeat it. It is not likely that it will result in the leaders making further concessions to the insurgents. ‘The railroad bill will be taken up again by the senate on Tuesday and the final vote may be had on that day, although there 18 no certainty about it. There is & contest between advocates of what class of legislation shall next be con- eldered. The supporters of the public land withdrawal bl will not give way to the statehood measure without a fight. Few republican senators are anxious to statehood and conservation measures as to but the statehood bill through at this ses- sion. They think that the differences he- tween the senate and house bllls are reconcilable and that it would be a waste of time to send the measure to conference. About the only supporters of immediate statehood in the enate are on the demo- criitic side, and they want the house bill passed, as that would mean statehood for Arizona and New Mexico in time for the fall elections, and they think it would mean four additioral democratlc senators The senate bill, which s favored by re- publican senators, would merely authorize the territories to take the preliminary steps and would not make it possi ble for them to be admitted to the ull|flll‘ of states until congress had approved their proposed constitutions. BEven it the postal savings bank bill should pass the nouse and successfully emerge from the conference, it is belleved that it would be a long time before any postal banks could be established under Its provision. The sundry clivil bill does not contain an appropriation to put the postal banks In force, and some of the house leaders are responsible for a roport that this legislation will be ignored In the gen- eral deticlency bill, IMPERIAL EXTRA YRY CHAMPAGNE 3.d.9.n CURES HEUMATISM The cause of Rheumatism is an excess of uric acid in the blood. The uratic impurity gets into the circulation by absorption. usually because of con- stipation, weak kidneys, and other systemic irregularitie: Then the blood be- comes weak and sour and irritating urate particles are formed in this vital fluid. ‘When in this impure condition the blood can not furnish the nacessary amount of nourishment to the different muscles, tendons, nerves and ligaments of the body. Instead it constantly steeps them in the briny acrid matter, and the gritty, urate particles collect in the joints, which causes the pains, aches and soreness of Rheumatism. Liniments, plasters, ete. may relieve the acute pain of an attack of Rheumatism, but such treatment does not reach tho blood and therefore can ‘have no permanent good effect. There is but one way to cure Rheumatism and that is to purify the blood of the acid poison. 8. 8. 8. goes into the circulation and attacks the disease at its hoad. It removes the cause for the reason that it 18 the greatest of all blood purifiers, It filters out every trace of the sour, in- flammatory matter, cools the acid-heated circulation, adds richness and nourish- ment to the blood and permanently cures Rheumatism. B, 8. 8. does not patch up, it cures permanently. 8. 8. B. is especially valuable as & remedy for Rheuma- tism because it does not contain a particle of harmful mineral in any form.
