Gorman, the brave young man who, at the risk of his life, rescued Miss Nelly L. Healy and { Miss Della J. McGrath, who were im- | periled by a fire at 244 Stevenson street on | election day, was presented with a hand- some gold medal as a reward for his courageous act. The presentation. speech was delivered by Mayor Schmitz in the presence of city officials and leading citi- zens. The deed was a brave one. A live wire | dropped into a pile of fluffy feathers in the pillow and mattress factory conduct- ed by Sullivan. In an instant the entire building was in flames and the two young ladies were cut off. They appeared at the window of the fourth floor and the crowd in the street below shouted to them | to go down the fire escape. They started |to do so, but became frightened by the flames that enveloped the ironwork. Gor- | man succeeded in reaching the fire escape, and, despite the smoke and heat, alded the girls to reach a place of safety. It was the act of a hero. Chief Sullivan and the Battalion Chiefs of the Fire Department were alive to the deed. They decided that Gorman shou'd | be rewarded and they had a handsome | medal struck off. Yesterday was the time | set for its presentation. ~Among those who were present were Mayor Schmitz, | Chief Bullivan, Asgistant Chief Dougher- | ty, Battalion Chiefs Dolan, Wiils, Shaugh- Continued From ‘Plge One. | the sooner we are rid of him the better it | will be. | “I am only restrained from discussion | of what I regard as the most unfortunate incident by the ordinary amenitles which | should obtain between one gentleman and | another. I allude to the fact of the oppor- tunity selzed by the chief citizen of the re- public to send a _member of his family across the water for the purpose of par- ticipating in the coronation of a King. “1 shall not discuss that, because it of | necessity involves matters 1 do not care to | go into here. I will, in passing, say that it is a most unfortunate circumstance. It | is unprecedented in our history and is to- | day deeply lamented on the part of every | country-loving man in the republic.

It is establishing a pre- | cedent that he ought not to recognize, and it is but one more link in the chain show- ing toward what end we are drifting. | _ “Ome other matter I wish to advert to. | In the next few days we.are to have a | brother of a ruler come over to this coun- | try and take charge of a little tug, vessel | or yacht, whatever you please to term it, | built by some people up in New York.

There are thousands of citi- zens of this republic following the plow as noble, as honest, as intelligent as Prince Henry or Prince anybody else. (Applause on the Democratic side.) Why | do the American people give heed to this foolish and disgraceful flunkyism enacted by the present administration? What dif- ference does it make to us whether he is a brother of the Emperor?” Grosvenor Takes a Hand. Grosvenor of Ohio—If the gentleman had been living at the time Lafayette came to this country bearing the commis- sion of the King of France would he have overruled the actlon of George Washing- ton in sending a commission to meet him and accompanying him over the country? in some remarkable | cures.

He was a great sol- dier, a great fighter and fought for the rights of the American people. (Applause.) But this man represents that kingism or flunkyism that seeks to enslave the labor of every people under the sun. Gillett of Massachusetts—Does the gen- tleman criticize the Democratic adminis tration of Buchanan in receiving the Prince of Wales? Wheeler—That is a very different thing. (Laughter and derisive cries on the publican side.) We received him not as we are receiving this man, if I recollect rightly, but he came as the official head of his Government. Grosvenor—On * the contrary, he came under another name and the attendant that was with him came incognito also, | coming as a mere private citizen, and was taken charge of by the Government dur- ing his entire stay in the United States { and dined at the White House by a Dem. | ocratic President, at the time when Dem- | ocracy meant something. Wheeler—If the gentleman is correct | then I condemn in unmeasured terms the attitude of that Democratic administra- | tion. Amid great confusion and cries of regu. r order Boutell of Illinois said the . criticism made on the head of one of our | great departments should not go unan- swered. No man in recent vears, he de- clared, to the rattle of Republican ap- | plause, had reflected such credit on our f diplomatic affairs as the present head of | the State Denartment. | , Boutell closed with a declaration that | he could not sit silent while attacks wera | being made upon a man who had shea { luster upon our diplomacy. The excite- ment occasioned by Wheeler's speech then | subsided and the consideration of pension bills was resumed.

Watt, M. H. Hecht, J. H. Grady and J. 8. Parry, Supervisor R.J. Lough- ery, Captain Spillane of the Police Sta- tion and the young ladies who were saved. Mayor Schmitz’s speech was short but to the point. In accepting the medal, Frank Gorman blushingly said he had not_ex- pected a tribute of this kind. Fire Com- missioner Watt paid a high tribute to young Gorman, as did the other mem- bers of the board. POLCY IN CREATING G000 WILL OF EUROPEAN RATIOHS —_———— the floor and replied .at length to what the Kentuckian had said. As?& Wheeler's denial of his statement regarding the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1860, Gros- venor declared that he personally could bear witness to the truth of his assertion, for he himself had seen the Prince when he first set foot on American soil at Ni- agara. As a young man he had listened to the Prince's speech, he said, with great interest. Just at the’ time when the American people were to be put to the test as to Wwhether they were gentlemen it was most unfortunate that this protest shouid come against the reception of Prince Henry. The speech of the gentleman from Ken- tucky would be exploited in_Europe to- morrow, on the eve of the Prince's de- parture, as the message of the American pe‘%y):e lto (’heh guest. eeler interposed at this point to sa; that he should gladly welconl:e any geny~ tleman from abroad; what he objected to was the officlal color to be given to the visit. Then, as_Grosvenor proceeded to read what ‘he had sald criticizing the President for making a new precedent in connection with the coronation of King Edward, Wheeler interrupted to say that while he had not desired to bring the mat- ter into the discussion, what he had de. plored was the report that the President intended to send a member of his family to the coronation. *“Oh, If it is simply a matter of a young girl going to the coronation of a gentle- man and a lady,” observed Grosvenor, “I Wil not pursue it : “So far as e young lady is con- cerned,” he added, “I can tell the gentle- man one thing. One thing she would give him a great deal of trouble if she would get into a debate with him as to the pro- priety of her going.” (Applause and laughter.) The Prince Is a German, Grosvenor then took up Wheeler's speech, reading from it the term “Little Dutchman,” which Wheeler had applied to Prince Henry, and his remarks about his indifference to the good will of the erman people. Grosvenor commented pon this language, saying that while the gentleman might be indifferent now as to the goodwill of the Germans, it wculd be different “late in the fall when per- simmons were ripe.” Grosvenor described at some length the visit of the Prince of Wales, in 186), his tour of the country, the honors showered upoh him bi President Buchanan, who, he said, rushed out of the White House and met him with extended arms, as if he had been ‘‘the traditional * prodigal son,” and the state dinner accorded kim. The Prince was but a boy, he sald, and the honor done him was honor only to the royal blood in his veins. As to the visit of Prince Henry, he was a brother of the German Emperor. He was not a Dutchman, but a Teuton, a German. He was an admiral of the German nayy, the same who had been sent to Manila to protect German interests, and when cne of his shi&s got in the way, Dewey had informed m that if the shig did not way in El'ould et Yy short order there “Then he took it away like ‘a gentl man,” remarked Grosvenof amid !lauglz: er.

Adjutant General Issues a| List of Distinguished Soldiers. Medals and Certificates of Merit Are Given to a Large Number of Brave Men in the Ranks. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Adjutant Gen- eral Corbin to-day made public the report of the army board of which General Mac- Arthur was president, appointed to con- sider and report the names of officers and enlisted men of the army who distin- guished thmselves during the recent cam- paigns in Cuba, China and the Philip- pines, so as to entitle them to the award either of medals of honor or certificates of merit. The officers-recommended for brevet rank for speclally meritorious ser- vice during the same campaigns will be nominated to the Senate by the President in the regular way. As has been stated, President Roosevelt has approved the recommendations made by the MacArthur board for rewards of brevet, medals of honor and certificates of merit, with the exception of the recom- mendation that Colonel Theodore Roose- velt be given the brevet rank of brigadier general for valor and services at the battle of San Juan Hill. The list of bre- vets will be made public when it is sent to the Senate. Medals of honor will be awarded in thirty-three cases, of which ten go to com= missioned officers and twenty-three to non-commissioned officers and privates. Only one medal was awarded on account of the Cuban service, two in the case of the Chinese campaign and thirty in the Philippine war. The medal list shows few names of per- sons familiar to the public, perhaps the most notable ones being those of Musician Calvin P. Titus, who was tne first to scale the wall at Peking, and who afterward was sent to West roint, and uieutenant Matthew A. Batson, who commanded the Macabebe scouts. The certificates of merit are all awarded to non-commissioned officers and privates, and of the total number of fifty-six four are on account of the Cuban campaign, forty-five on_ account of the Philippine campaign and seven on account of the Chinese trouble. The medal of honor list is as follows: ? List of Medal-Winners.

Delicately formed find, in all the seasons and gently reared, women will of their lives, as maids or wives or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditiong,when the system needs a laxative—is— Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple com- bination of the laxative and carminative prineiples of plents with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the tasteand aeceptable to the system when its gentle eleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it i8 best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos- trums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or gimilar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi- tion of the system, use the true and gentle remedy— Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depres- sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, Which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its benefleial effects and as a guar- antee of the excellence of thie remedy the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraud- ulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle. neath the water; this near Taal, Luzon, P. I, January 18, 1909, For Bravery at Calumpit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—A little flurry was created in the Senate to-day over | the employment since the beginning of the session of a score or more of extra clerks and messengers to committees. The charges of extravagance miade induced the reference of the whole subject of clerical employment to a committee for | investigation and report. The bill creating a permanent census bureau was under consideration for o time, but was not disposed of finally. A large number of private pension bills were passed. The bill to provide for a permanent census office was taken up. Allison, chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, made an _argument against the committee amendment in- creasing the salary of the director of the census from $5000 to T annum. Quarles made a vigorous defense of the amendment. Allison moved to make the director’s salary $6000 instead of $7500. This was rejected—I5 to 32. The commit- tee amendment was adopted. At 3 o’clock, under special order, the Senate began ' consideration of private pension bills. In fifty-five minutes the calendar was cleared of pension bills, 127 being passed.

C., Feb. 14.—A special from oy T ear B Whits Fase Mr. i e e e ment x-:fi’u-. with a few Slisnt modiacations, TERSE DEGISION 13 EXPECTED President’s Reply in the Schley Case Will Be Vigorous. WASHINGTON, Feb. M4.—One of the principal subjects discussed at the Cabinet meeting to-day was the reply which the President will make to the appeal of Ad~ miral Schley. The President has given a good deal of attention to the matter, and it is under- stood that in the course of a few days, probably by the middle of next week, h will be ready to announce his conclusion: Members of the Cabinet are extremely reticent as to what the President's view: are, beyond the statement that his deci- sion undoubtedly will clear the atmos- phere somewhat upon many of the in- volved_questions. The President outlined his views on the Schley case by reading the first draft of his decision. ~Some modifications were made in it, and in view of the fact that it is subject to further and possibly impor- tant changes in the text, members of the Cabinet back their indisposition to dis- cuss it by the assertion that It is unsafe at this time to predict what its exact ef- fect will be. It is a long document and ome of its features is the clear and concise presenta- tibn of the facts regarding the Santiago fight as given the President by the cap- tains engaged in that battle, who recently were summoned to the White House to confer with him. The decision is couched in the President’'s characteristic vigorous tone. MUST PROVE A PAYING QUARTZ LEDGE EXISTS Court’s Opinion in a Suit Brought to Oust Holder of Placer Location. REDDING, Feb. 14—Although quarts locations have prestige over placer loca- tions In case of a contest, the quarts claimant must show that a ledge of quartz that would pay for the working of it exists on the disputed claim if he would hope to be successful. So an- nounced Judge Sweeny in the Superior Court_this afternoon in virtually giving a decision to the plaintiff at the conclu- sion of the trial of the case of Benjamin Hart against Martin Hofstad, which has the attention of mining men. Hofstad filed a quartz notice on Hart's rich placer claim in the Old Diggings dis- trict and suit to quiet title was brought. Although a decision was not rendered, Judge Sweeny said that the quartz claim- .ant had failed to make the showing in regard to a ledge that he considers the jaw renders necessary.
