Hale moved to recon- sider the vote by which the Newlands joint resolution for the annexation of Cuba was referred to a committee and several speeches were made on the mo. tion without disposing of it. Hale, Lodge and Platt of Connecticut dis- avowed amy desire on the part of the United States to acquire Cuba and ex- pressed great regret that the resolution had been introduced. Newlands de- fended the measure as presenting a | natural solution of the problem of the relationship between the two countries. | The Panama question came up in | connection with the announcement of | the reorganization of Senate commit- | tees, Morgan (Dem.) of Alabama being | relieved from the chairmanship of the | Committee on Intéroceanic Canals. Before the order went into effect Mor- | gan took the floor and his speech proved to be a discussion of the entire canal questiop, with liberal criticism of the President for his course. He had not concluded when the Senate adjourned and will proceed to-morrow. Before adjournment the Senate unan- imously agreed to vote on the Cuban bill on December 16 next. HALE OPPOSES ANNEXATION. ‘When Hale of Maine moved to recon- sider the vote by which the Newlands resolutic 1 for the annexation of Cuba red to the Committee on Re- lations with Cuba, he spoke of a speech in opposition to the policy proposed by the resolution, saying that this countr; had air declared its policy with reference to Cuba by enacting the Teller resolution into law. He would | not extend such an invitation to Great Britain for the union of Canada to the United States or to Mexico for such a union. In this connection Hale said incidentally that he had no doubt that there were men alive who would live to see the annexation of Canada to the United States. He closed by urging the Senate to take no step toward clos- g progress in Cuba. Newlands of Nevgda expressed grati- ! fication that his resolution should have so early attracted attention. He agreed with Hale in much that he had said concerning the progress of Cuba and the character of its people. Still, it was act that Cuba had been compelled to confess her inability to cope with other nations in business affairs. He » referred to the concession granted the United States for erecting forti- fications on Cuban soil and to our su- pervision of the foreign relations of the island, as well as to the conduct f its sanitary affairs, and said that as er of fact Cuba had already »d the attitude of a ward of the United States. CUBA’S EXCEPTIONAL REQUEST. Newlands also advanced the argu- ment that in asking for a reduction of the duty on Cuban products exported to the United Stateg, Cuba was making an exceptional request, and he thought we should respond by offering political ial union. himself, he had had In mind Cuba’s interests in presenting the reso- lition and he wanted it undgrstood he represented no Spanish dons n speculators: He had of- fered the -resolution in no spirit of oliation,” but because he had be- ved that the measure would appeal to the good sense of both the Amer- and the Cubans. Newlands said at he had provided for the attach- ment of Porto Rico to Cuba as a coun- ty or province in the conviction that such a union would give the smaller i a stability of government which 1d not otherwise obtain. Lodge of Massachusetts express- ed recret over the introduction of the tion. Many people of our coun- said, did not understand the the introduction that nor Amer try, distinction between |and the passage of a bill, and it our people did not appreclate this differ- ence the Cubans must have a much smaller degree of uncerstanding. He believed. the present debate would be of good service in giving assurance that the bill did not represent the wishes of the Government or the peo- ple of the United States. Spooner gave notice that he wished iress the Senate in opposition to the resolution and the motion to recon- the vote of reference went over. Hale then presented the list of Sen- te committees as agreed on by the caucuses of the Republican and Demo- cratic Senators. On the motion to adopt the report Morgan of Alabama took the floor and himself to the isthmian stion. He said he did not re- gret his retirement as chairman of the Committee on Interoceanic Canals. He disclaimed partisanship in the conduct of the affairs of that committee and declared that he had not and would not e his position on the canal ques- tion at the instance of any party cau- cus. He discussed at some length the | attitude of the President in the matter of the selection of a route for the pro- | posed canal, and in doing so accused | Mr. Roosevelt of using his official po- sition to advance his personal views. He referred to the Spooner act and said no one could nullify it. The revolution in Panama, he sald, was a Cesarian | operation, which took Panama alive | from the womb of Colombia. | CRITICISES THE PRESIDENT. | . Morgan charged that the President had made the canal question a party question and added: “I think the President's appeal to party discipline to force his opinions | on the country and his measures of ag- gression on foreign countries, in addi- tion to his power as commander-in- chief of the army and navy, which he uses with a dreadful latitude of con- struction, is so strong a proof of heart failure in the present wild moments |that I am encouraged to hope that there are still some barriers that we may rely upon to protect the peace and save the commerce of the country.

[ Yet this resuit is not nearly so certain | or =0 safe as if he shbuld obey the Spooner law.” | Morgan sald that he had consented | to the enactment of the Spooner bill | only because of his confidence in the | Bood faith of the President in enforc- |ing the law, and now that the Presi- | dent had not seen fit to keep that faith it remained to be seen whether the Sen- ate would support him in that position. The President, Morgan said, had completed his campaign against the Spooner act by having Hay sign a treaty with “somebody” who had no authority except that conveyed in a cable x‘n‘emse tr:dm a junta at Pan- ama. organ read the correspondenc: bearing upon the revolution to lhvwe. as he said, that “the President had known of the uprising on the isthmus before it began and stood ready with ln.:ml :d ships to protect those engaged The grocer buys Schilling’s Best to sell at a profit.

Morgan contended that Colombia had a perfect right to suppress an uprising on the isthmus, and declared that the United States had failed utterly to ob- serve its treaty obligations in pursuing | the course it had taken. | With the understanding that he should continue his speech to-morrow, Morgan yielded the floor. st SENATE COMMITTEES. — | Membership as Agreed Upon in the Republican Caucus. | WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The Re-! publican membership on Senate com- | mittees was agreed on in the Repub- | lican caucus to-day as follows: EXTENSIVE INTERESTS OF WATSON Porter Bros.” President a Man of Many - Affairs.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23. — Extensive pri- vate interests of James S. Watson, préident of the Port‘r Brothers Com- pany, were revealed before Bankruptcy Referee Wean to-day, Attorney Albert Bach of New York using the schedules of the witness’ own debts and assets as tne basis for his examination. It was shown that Watson was inter- ested as a stockholder in a half-dozen or more corporations, as well as being the owner of much real estate, now heavily mortgaged. The private sched- ules of Watson showed his debts to be $1,205,000, much of which was contract- ed on account of the concern of which he was formerly president. Of the total liabilities, only $164,375 It was for the purpose of learning the probable value of these securities that | the New York lawyer pressed the in- quiry. This will be resumed on Janu- ary 13, at which time, it is expected, Watson's eyes will be well enough to permit his examining the books of the corporation for the purpose of account- ing for $1,069,170, which he is said to have drawn out of the Porter Brothers | Corporation. OGDEN ARMOUR SUBPENAED. ‘Watson's revelations regarding large rebates received by him from the Fruit Growers' Express Company, amount- ing, it is said, to at least $1,800,000, have led Attorneys Bach and C. W. Green- field to search for other evidence on this line. For the purpose of getting more details they have subpenaed J. Ogden Armour and George S. Robbins to appear before Wean on November 0. Armour is said to be the principal backer of the Fruit Growers' Express Company, while Robbins is its man- ager. The schedules of Watson presented before Referee Wean show the follow- ing secured claims: John E. Bleekman, New York, for $68,000; Armour & Co. for $65,000; Fruit Auction Company, New York, for $10,000. There are other smaller claims for which securities were given. HOLDERS OF WATSON’S NOTES. Among the other creditors holding notes of Watzon or the Porter Brothers the following: North American Fisheries, Seattle, for $55,020; First National Bank, Chicago, | or $168,000; American National Bank, Los Angeles, for $50,000; Wells, Fargo | Co.’s Bank, San Francisco, for $100,- | 00; London, Paris and American Bank, | San Francisco, for $50,000; San Fran- cisco National Bank for $150,000; Anglo- Californian Bank, San Francisco, for | $100,000; D. O. Mills National Bank| Sacramento, for $57,000; Bank of Cali- fornia, San Francisco, for $50,000; First National Bank, San Jose, Cal., for $35,- 000, and Charies Hathaway & Co., Chi- cago, for $65,000. The list of assets includes these stocks, at face value: ooth-Kelly | Lumber Company, $50,000; Consolidated Bl Dorado Gravel Mining Company, $105,000; Porter Bros. Company, $430,- 200; North American Fisheries, $40,000; Ruddock Trench Company, $97,800; Clock Packing Company, $10,000. | USED BORROWED MONEY. Nearly all of these shares are hy- pothecated. Watson also scheduled real estate of the value of $97,079, most of which is heavily mortgaged. “Where did you get the money to buy these stocks?” asked Attorney Bach. “I borrowed@ most of it from various parties, including a number of banks and the Armours, at various times,” was the reply. “Did you buy some from money darawn out of the Porter Bros. Com- pany?” “I'm_not positive. I bought some | with dividends amounting to about | 37000 secured from the Booth-Keliy | Lumber Comppany. I also got a salary | of $10,000 a year from Porter Bros. and $4000 from the North American Flsh-) eries, of which I was president for sev- eral years. I also had about $30,000 be- fore I went into business with Porter | Bros. in 1884.” Watson declared that he got about | $6000 in dividends out of the Consoli- | dated El Dorado Gravel Mining Com- pany. His attorney, De Frees, explain- ed that while Watson appeared to have spent much money for real es- | tate, he only speculated in it and made | small payments. PRIVATE PAPERS DESTROYED. The witness said he could not give accurate answers to many of Attorney Bach’s questions because he had de- stroyed most of his private papers. Shortly before the close of the ex- amination Attorney David Gann asked | the witness a few questions on behalf | of the trustees of the Porter Bros. Company. His queries were mostly | concerning other stockholders in the concern. ‘When the matter of fixing a date for resuming the inquiry was discussed, ‘Watson said his eyes have been grow- t! i Wo0D'S CONDUCT Senate Committee to fronts General Wood was emphasized to-day when It was announced that the Senate Committee on Military Affairs would designate a sub-committee to go to Cuba to take testimony regarding | the conduct of the«general. of the committee have not been se- termined, but the decision to investi- gate on the island, as well as here, has caused a stir. ready been said about the conduct of General Wood in Cuba that it will be cannot come to the United States.

Neely, convicted Cuba of appropriating $45,472 of postal funds while acting as director of finances of the postoffices in Cuba during the military occupation of the island by the United States, to vacate the attachment filed by the United States against $20,000 cash bail depos- ited by Neely with the registrar of the United States Civil Court in this district. the dismissal of the attachment civil proceedings on the ground that the act of amnesty passed by the Cuban whereby all Americans convicted crime in Cuba during the occupation of the island were pardoned, removed with the money should therefore be returned to him. e 24, 1903 Hica Crass DRrucGISTS AND — OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in & purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance wil scientific formula. u&plying the best of remedies and physiciang’ prescriptions and Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an ‘excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and prineiples of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate ‘to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—* Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, In order to sell the imitations and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepreunutiop and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it ig necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be gold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go tofone of the better class ot druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.

After wearing it for three months it cured my back and now I feel as strong and capable as any man, young or old. I cannot praise it too highly, and will advise every man, weak or in pain, to use it and not to be persuaded against it by doctor.” Come to me and let me cure you. Twenty of my life have been devoted to my trade, and I have made my Belf popular with people who are tired of I cure while you sleep. It's easy and pleasant. My Belt gives a current that is a glowing warmth. N~ burn or sting. I have a nicely illustrated book which every man should read. 1 will send it closely sealed, free, if you send this ad.
