To assist nature, Wwhen nature needs assistance, it is all i\mportant that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.

That part of Quay's amendment admit- ting Chinese Christians was lost without division, and on an aye and no vote the admission of Chinese soldlers who asgist- ed Americans during the slege of Pekin, was defeated—7 to 68. Those who yote for the amendments were Burton, Dolli- ver, Hoar, Platt of New York, Proctor, Quay and Vest. ] Platt of Connecticut then offered his substitute extending the present law. He sald the United States was committed to the policy of exclusion and any sugges- tion that Senators opposing the bill were seeking to break down the exclusion pol- icy was gratultous and without founda- tion, but the pending bill was unnecessary, it was offensive to China at a time when we sought her good will and it improp- erly enacted treaty regulations as law. An amendment by llory adding to the Platt substitute the sailors’ clause was defeated—23 to 0. An amendment by Cockrell that the the effect that the omission of se exclusion legislation would ented at the polls by the working orry,” be said, “that Senator such an unfavorable opinion orkingmen of this country, and nd of that class I resent th.s tion of their motives.” ing, he said, he did not belfeve laboring men of the United would threaten Senators in this if their judgment was not entirely accord with their own on any given >jeet.

Mitchell of Oregon offered as an amend- ment to the substitute several sections of the original bill providing for taking out Chinese certificates in our insular posses- slons, and amendments for that_ purpose were unexpectedly carried by the close vote of 41 to 40.

One Witness Says Accused Left Mint With Full Coin Sdcks, The prosecution in the Dimmick case played its big trump card yesterday in the testimony of Cyrus E. Ellis, a Mint watchman, Mr. Ellis swore that shortly before midnight on Mareh 13, 1901, he saw Dimmick come out of the receiving room with two canvas sacks in his hands. The sacks contained gold pieces, in his opinion, because they were what were known as gold coin sacks, and they were so heavy that Dimmick’s right shoulder was low- eredt as he walked along the corridor with them. litis saw Dimmick go into the Superintendent’s room, and about five minutes later emerge with a dress sult case in his hands, which he took out of the builaing’ with him. The witness thought it strange at the time thdt Dim- mick did not say ‘‘Good-night” or “‘Good- evening” to him and the other watchmen as he left. Eis toid his wire and daugh- ter about this episode when he went to breakfast the next morning, but he said notmng about it to the Mint omciais un- UL Juiy vl the same year, after tne dis-| covery of the saurtage had been made pubiic. ‘when he told Laptain Hawes and Buperintenaent Leach apout wnat he had seel Thought He Heard Dimmick Jump.

On one of those of casions the witness crossed the bay with Dimmick and the suit case at 12:35 a. m., and saw limmick get off at the Six- teenth-street scation in Oakland, Doorkeeper C. L. Metcait told how' he saw the detendant going;into the cash- fer's office several times after office hours auring tne early part of the year 1901. On June 29 Dimmick asked Metcalf 10 note ine time of his arrival and departure. Mr. Donnelly was with Dimmick. When the witness remarked thadhe did not un- derstand why Dimmick had maae that re- quest the defenaant repied that he did it for self-protection. That happened about ten minutes before midnight. Ac- cording to the rules of the Minc certain ouiclats, including Dimmick, were allowed to visit the building after orfice hours. On | June 30, 191, the witness at Dimmick's request accompanied him to the casnier’s ottice, where Limmick took a book out of the cashier's drawer. he witness in May or June of 1%1 saw the accused leav- ng-the Mint with a_small satchel in his hand between & and 7 o’ciock in the even- e Buys Dress-Suit Case.

Sllver‘s(:?n, aged 17, identified the prisoner as the man who in February, 1%1, bought a dress suit case from Sum- merficld & Roman on the southeast corner of Market and Iifth streets. He ordered the case sent to the address of Mrs. Perry in the 400 block on McAllister street. Dim- mick gave the witness a “tip” on-that occasion. About two weeks ago the wit- ness found Mrs. Perry at 483 McAilister street, a loaging-house, and asked her about the incident. Mrs. Perry said that she remembered having received the dress suit case for a short man. Andrew Hedrick, formerly a street car conductor, told how Dimmick boarded an electric car at Fifth and Mission streets { with a dress suit case. Dimmick got off at the ferry. This evidence was followed by the testimony of William H. Miner, a conductor on the Oakland cars. In Feb- ruary or March, 1%01, the witness saw Dimmick leave the Berkeley train at Six- teenth-street station and ride in his car to Myrtle street. He had a dress suit case with him. That was between the hours of 6:30 and 8:30 p. m. P. J. Law, another conductor, saw Dimmick get on his car with the dress suit case at the Sixteenth-street station in Oakland at 1 o’clock in the morning in the sanfe month, Denied Having a Dress Suit. ‘W. H. Williams, doorkeeper in the Mint, was another man who saw Dimmick with !a dress suit case entering the Mint be- tween half-past 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning in the early part of 1901 George D. Roberts, Director of the ! United States Mint, testified that Dim- | mick in July, 191, made a statement to him and Superintendent Leach, in which the prisoner denied ever having had a dress suit in_his passession. Louis M. Slater, private secretary for Superintendent Leacn, was reading from his shorthand notes the statements made by Dimmick to Roberts and Leach when the hour of adjournment arrived. The trial will be resumed at 11 o'clock tais morning. FAKE LIEUTENANT LUHRS MUST SERVE THREE YEARS Cakland Youth Is Convicted of Im- personating an Officer and Pass- ing Several Forged Checks, Henry C.

Judge Grants Much-Abused Little Woman Decree of Divorce. . “Yes, I abused her. I kicked her a couple of times a week and struck and choked her.” This shameful admission was made in Judge Hunt's couft yesterday by John Francis Machado, a barber in the Mer- chants’ Exchange building. He is being suec for divorce by Florence Elizabeth Machado, a’ care-worn little woman, who, with her three children, sat within a few fect of the self-confessed ruffian on the witness stand. She shuddered percepti- bly as her husband made the admission. A look of fear appeared in her eyes and slie instinctively gathered her little ones, each of whom was crying bitterly, closer to her. “Take your decree, madam,” said'Judge Hunt, gazing with disgust at Machado and saying to him: *That will do, sir.” Mrs. Machado appeared in court twice yesterday. The hearing of her suit was | on the calendar for the morning and she appeared, but with no one to corroborate her story or her husband’'s brutaity but her son, aged 5.

I cannot grant you a vorce unless you have other corrobora- tive testimony.” lachado’s attorney then admitted tha client had told him his wife’s charges were true and Judge Hunt promptly or- dered him to secure the presence of Machado in court at the afternoon ses- sion. The case was heard at 4:30 and Mrs. Machado was freed from the brute and given the custody of the three children and her share of the property. ldward M.

SHARPLY SCORE THE CUBAN BILL House Members De- nounce Reciprocity . Measure. Debate on the Tariff Propo- sition to Be Closed To-Morrow. ‘'WASHINGTON, April 16.—The friends of the Cuban reciprocity bill won a sub- stantlal victory in the House to-day by carrying a motion to close general débate on Friday at 3 o’clock. The vote was 152 to 123. Thirty-three Republicans voted against the motion, but this defection was offset by thirty-two Democrats, who voted with the great body or the Republicans for it. The . strength of the Republican opposition to the bill, judged by this vote, has decreased six since the vote’ was taken on the motion to go into committee of the whole to consider the bill, when the vote stood 167 to 80. 5 Roberts of Massachusetts, Patterson of Tennessee and Cochran of Missouri spoke for the bill. Bartlett ¢ Georgia oppossd the bili and In the course of his remarks criticized Richardson, the minority lead- er, for hig faiflure to file his views on the pending measures. He declared that if Democrats were to support' Republican measures the ranking minority members of the Ways and Means Committee should be able to’ furnish good reasons for such a course. Corliss of Michigan in oppos- ing the bill said it did noz’ embrace the first principle of reciprocity. + Broussard of Louisana made an im- passioned.speech agaiust the bill, which, he said, would ruin the cang sugar in- dustry of Louislana and transfer it to Cuba. Broussard is a sugar planter and said that this year, in view of this pros- pective legislation, he had thrown his c;me seed away and planted his flelds in rice. Bell of Colorado also opposed the bill, arguing that it was utterly indefensibie from any standpoint, in that it proposed to take the tariff off raw material and leave untouched the tariff on the refined product. He criticized severely the atti- tude of the Democrats toward the bill. He said they taunted their Republican ad- | versaries with supporting a measure that was 20 per cent Democratic, forgetting that in advocating it themselves they were accepting a measure that was $0 per cent Republican. H. C. Smith of Michigan closed the de- bate for the day with a strong speech against the bill. If the pending bill had originated on the Democratic side, he said, where it should have originated, the Republican leaders, Payne, Dalzell and Grosvenor, would have ridiculed it out of the House. At 5:15 p..m. the House ad- journed pntil 11 a. m. to-morrow. NATIONS TO REGULATE WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY Germany’s Proposition to Hold an In- ternational Conference Accepted by Great Britain. BERLIN, April 16.—Breat Britain has accepted Germany’'s proposition for an international conference to regulate the use of wireless telegraphy. The other powers to which the proposition was made; viz., the United States, France and Russia, have not yet responded, but the officlals here confidently expect favorable answers, especially from the United States, which has taken much interest in the matter. Germany’s_suggestion embraces merely calling a conference, but without definitely formulated propositions for discussion. Germany has also asked the powers to set forth-in their answers if they wished Germany to formulate propositions to lay before the conference or leave the matter entirely to the conference. writing you for another to-crder suits. you.
