BOSTON, Dec. 7.—The Globe says Mrs. Chadwick, before receiving the loan from Herbert D. Newton of Brook- line, saw a Boston attorney, gave him a $500 note purporting to have been signed by Andrew Carnegie and a cer- tificate that $5,000,000.in securities were on deposit with the Wade Park Bank- ing Campany of Cleveland, Ohio, and asked him to raise a loan for her.

T7.—Senator Platt of New York to-day introduced his bill, prepared under the direction of | the committee on national affairs of the | Republican Ciub of the city of New | York, having as its purpose the redue- tion of representation in Congress of the Southern States that have dis- franchised the negroes. The bill if en- acted in its present form would lessen the membershin in Congress by nine- teen, according to the estimate that has been made by the Republican Club, | which originated it. The bill and an explanatory statement issued by Sen- ator Platt were referred to th: Com- mittee on Census. The bill proviges for the reducdon of representation in th sentatives as follow: Alabama, from 9 to 7; Arkansas, from 7 tg 6; Florida, 3 to 2; Georgia, 11 to 8; Lohiisiana, 7 to 5, Mississippi, 8 to 6; North Carolina, 10 to 8; South Carolina, 7 to §; Tennes- see, 10 to 9; Texas, 16 to 15; Vorginia, 10 to 8. The statement says: This bill #s framed upon the lowest limita- tion nossible and treats as excluded from the suffra_e only the male negro citizens over 21 vears of age, classed by the twelfth census as illiterate under the 1900 census tables, pub- lished since the apportionment act of January 16, 1901. The aggregates actually excluded from the suffrace in each of the States mentioned are in truth jarger than those used as the basis for this act. If all negro votables (I e., male citizens over 21) regardless of flliteracy should be deemed to be excluded, the reduction in_ representatign, figured from the same tables, would be nearly twice as great #tated in this bill. v It requires no evidence beyond the notorious historical fact for Congress to adjudze what cannot be denled, that the class of hegro illit- to the extent stated, is practically ex- cluded from the suftrage In the States men- tioned in the bill, no matter what may be the nominal provisions of their respective consti- tution or election laws.

[SE SCHANDER'S OWN ESTINONY Though an uncle of Bertha Dolbeer, Adolph Schander did not even have a speaking acquaintance with her. His own statements under oath to this ef- fect were read to the jury yesterday. His claim to a third of her estate is based on his tie of consanguinity, yet he gave testimony that aftey she was 3 vears of age he saw her buf fwice, on one occaston having her pointed out to him by his son in the Palace Hotel gourt, and on the other seeing her on the street. i 4 { Miss Dolbeer did not know him, and to him she was virtually an utter stranger. Schander was a brother of Miss Dolbeer's mother. To show how removed the contestant was from the life of the testatrix and her reasonable justification for ignoring him in her will the sroponents yester- day produced the tyanseript of Schand- er's testimony taken at a preliminary hearing in the contest. F. A. Parker, vault clerk, testified that April 25, 1904, was the date of the last visit of Bertha Dolbeer to her safety denosit box, where her will was found. It was undoubtedly on that day that she deposited the testament there. Mrs. Lena R. Thomnson of Chicago, Telegraph Operators of Civil War Starts Oratory BUSY SESSION HELD Vote Will Be Taken on the Philippine Measure on the Sixteenth of This Month —_—— WASIHINGTON, Dec. ‘The Sen- ate to-day reached a decision to vote on - the -~ Philippine Civil Government bill, providing for the construction of railroads in the islands, on the '16th of this month, and in addition trans- acted considerable other business. Platt of New York created something of a syfr by introducing a bill provid- ing for a reduction of the Congres- sicnal representation of the Southern States on the zround that many of the citizens of these States are deprived of their right to vete. Scott plunged the Senate into an exceptionally early de- bate by attempting to .secure the passage of a bill granting pensions to telegraph operators of the Civil War. A large number of bills and joint resolutions were introduced and many petitions were presented. The discus- sion of the time for voting on the Philippine bill brought out the, fact that there is a general undcrat[ndmz that the Christmas holiday recess will begin on the 18th inst. In executive session the Senate con- firmed all four Cabinet nominations and those of Postmaster Willcox at New York and Indian Commissioner Leupp. When Scott asked the Senate to en- ter upon the consideration of the bill placing on thz pension rolls the tele- graph operators who served as such during the Civil War Cockrell called attention to the fact that soldiers were paid $12 per wonth, while telegraph cperators had received from $60 to $100 per month, and on this account he op- posed the bill. He also said that if telegraph operators were t) be pen- sioned it would be necessary to pen- sion teamsters and other civil sem- ployes. McCumber spoke in support of the bill, saying there would be only 137 beneficiaries under the bili: but be- fore he had concluded the Senate ad- journed - PRONING KNIFE S PUT 10 (SE WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The _legis; lative, executive and judicial appro- -priation bill, carrying $28,838,700, was reported to the House to-day. This is $546,498 less than the estimate and $225, 881 more than the current appropria- tion. The Appropriation Committee has goné a step further in the matter of limiting the personal use of carriages by Government officials by providing for painting the name of the depart- ment for which they are to be used on carriages and vehicles when they are tu be used by others than the heads of departments and the President's sec- retary, who are provided with carriages for personal use by authority of law. There are 164 increases in salaries provided by the bill. The appropria- tion for miscellaneous expenses of the who came to testify in response to a request from the proponents, said she became acaouainted with the testatrix five vears ago. Two years later the witness saw Miss Dolbeer and Miss ‘Warren for four hours in Chicago while they were on their way home from the East. Last April Miss Dolbeer telegraphed from San Francisco before starting on her last trin to Europe what day she would be in Chicago, and asked Mrs, Thompson to take luncheon with her and Miss Warren. The witness de- scribed the luncheon, which was fol- lowed by a matinee theater party. The testatrix was in cheerful spirit and spoke enthusiastically ip anticipation of the enjoyment she expected to find in her stay in Europe. “In my opinion Miss Dolbeer was per- fectly rational and of sane mind at all times,” declared the witness. Gale Thompson, hushand of the pre- vious witness, gave corroboration to her testimony. P RATIONAL DURING VOYAGE. The deposition .of William B.

The statement follws: The conviction in Portland yesterday of five persons for lend frauds, which: will be fol- lowed next week by the trial of several others indicted for the same offense, is but another step toward the consummation of the policy entered upon by the Secretary of the Inte- rior when it became known mearly three years ago that were _ being perpetrated in_connection with the public lands, to run down and prosecute the gullty cnes to the full extent of the law, without regard to their position in life. The department has encountered many ob- stacles while engaged in this work, but has frauds moved dily onward and has had the hearty nce and co-operation of the Department Justice in bringing the land criminals to justice. These frauds have been more far-reaching than the country has suspected, and the task of unearthing them and securing the necessary proofs has been a difficult one, but there has been no abatement of the intention to over- come all difficuities and secure the conviction of the land thieves. No one will be shielded, whether high or low, and the work of pros- ecution will be vigorously carried on. PORTLAND, Dec. 7.—Some of the prisoners convicted yesterday in the land frauds cause are experiencing con- siderable trouble in obtaining the ad- ditional bonds placed upon them when the conviction occurred. S. A. D. Puter after a day's search pleaded for and was granted until to-morrow by the United States Marshal. He will be al- lowed to spend to-night, as he did last night, in his room at the hotel under | the surveillance of a deputy. Mrs. Wat- son was unable to secure bondsmen, | but her bail was reduced to $1000 cash. | She deposited the amount and was lib- erated. Horace McKinley had no difficulty in securing sufficient security and was lib- erated soon after the conviction oec- curred. Tarpley and Wolgamot figure only in this one case, and therefore their bonds were not increased. — Message Referred to Committees.

Nearly everybody knows that char< coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier In nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the mere you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present in the stomach and Intestines and car- ries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after | smoking, drinking or after eating on- | tons and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion; it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which | collect in the stomach and bowels; it | disinfects the mouth and throat from | the poison of catarrh. | ANl druggists sell charcoal in one | form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Charceal Lozen- ige-: they are composed of the finest | powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleas- ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal be- | ing mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges soon tell in a much improved con tion of the general health, better com- plexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: “T advise Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all pa- tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complex- jon and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also belleve the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but 25 cents a box at drug stores and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I be- lieve I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” FOR GIFTS IN FINE Diamonds -- Watches MONDAY, DEC. 5th.
