MARCH'S MEN WERE WEARY. ready for the hospital after THEIR LONG CHASE. iflie; Say It I* All Gnrss Work a to AVhrthor Aguinaldo W’na Shot—lm portant l’npera Ware Captured Which Show Nearly All the Preat denta in Gen. yoong'i Territory Are Treocheroua—Native Operatora Who Have Played False. Manila. Juno 6.—A dispatch from Can don, dated Juno 4. sayß MaJ. P. C. March’s men of the Thirty-third Regi ment returned to Candon that day by steamer from Aparri. A majority of the men are ready for the hospital. They are thin and weak, hav ing traveled 250 miles in the mountains, during which they suffered greatly from hunger. Of the fifty horses which started with the battalion, thirteen survived. The remainder died on the march or fell into canyons. The battalion practically collapsed at Fiat, thirty miles from Maguegarao, as the result of fevers/and exhaustion. Eighty-seven of the men were conveyed from Piat to Muguegarao in bull carts, and those felling on the way were car ried in litters by the Igoroettes with the column. The officers accompanying Maj. March were Capts. Henry L. Jenkinson and Ed ward Davis. Lleuts. Carroll Power and Prank L. Case and Dr. J. O. Green walt, assistant surgeon. They say it is all guess work as to whether Aguinaldo was shot. Before the Americans struck So gat the insurgent chief divided his forces into parties of ten, following different trails. The officer shot was perhaps Aguinaldo's secremiy oi adjutant. The report unions the natives of the region is that Aguinal do was wounded in the shoulder. The papers secured show that nearly all the presidents installed by the Americans ill Gen. Young’s territory are treacherous and have been making regular reports to Aguinaldo of the dispositions and move ments of the American troops, and they have been collecting and forwarding taxes. The captured papers also prove the dis loyalty of the native telegraph operators, whom the Americans retained on the Cay agan Valley line. When Tirona surren dered the Filipino forces In that section, these operators professed loyalty and took the oath of allegiance. But it is now shown that they had been sending Agui naldo copies of important telegrams ex changed between the American officials. Letters were also found relating to lnrge contributions forwarded to Aguinaldo from Spanish and other foreign business men. NEW COTTON' EXCHANGE RIDES.

Mr. Grosvenor advised the House to yield, whereupon Mr. Cannon sarcastical ly characterized him as a “good quitter.” Charges and Counter clmrue.H. Mr. Burton of Ohio indignantly repu diated the charge in Commander Todd’s circular that he and others were in a se cret combine against the navy department in this controversy. Mr. Dayton of West Virginia, one of the naval conferees, deprecaied the dis play of bad temper indulged in by mem bers. Immediately afterward Mr. Dayton, in wildly excited tones, denounced as false and untrue the statement that the con ferees had betrayed their trusts. This statement, Mr. Foss also denounced in harsh words. He had stood by instruc tions to the last vote in conference, and he would allow no one to question his honpr and character. He would ask to be relieved from further duty in conferr ence. “If you want to see this bill fail,” he said, “vote to turn down this conference report. I shall ask the Speaker to re lieve me from further duty on the con ference.” Mr. Foss then moved to concur in the report and demanded the previous ques tion. Mr. Cannon appealed for ten minutes, but the House howled him down. He then cried, “Vote down the previous question!” as the speaker put the question. The previous question was voted down, SO to 329, and the debate was reopened. On a rising vote the House declined to concur in the conference report. 83 to 131. Mr. Cannon moved that the House non concur in the contested items and send them back to conference, which was agreed to. There was a buzz of surprised comment as ttye speaker announced an entirely new set of conferees on behalf of the House- Cannon Moody and Shofroth—representing the most determined opposition to the Sen ate's action. It was evident that business could not be to-night, and Mr. Grosvenor moved an adjournment, but this was voted* down. .On motion of Mr. Payne the House, at 10:29 p. m., took a recess until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. ROUTINE) WORK IN THE HOUSE. Tlie Senate Proposition on Armor Plate Was Accepted. Washington, June 6.—When the House reassembled at 8 o’clock a. m., the confer ence report on the general deficiency bill showing a complete disagreement was agreed to. Mr. Cannon submitted the conference report on the sundry civil bill, showing the item carrying the claims of Nevadi to be the only one In dispute. The item the memorial bridge across the Poto mac river was struck oirt. The provision as to the state claims was compromised by an amendment that certain federal claims against these states would not be prosecuted. Mr. Cannon explained that the Senate added about $5,000,000 to the original $61,- 000,000 of this bill, and that by this report the Senate yielded about $1.000,>00, and the House $4,C00,000. Considerable debate fol lowed on the various items. The confer ence report was agreed to, but the dis puted item was sent back fer lurther con ference. This was to appropriate $162,000 for of Nevada, for extra pay given Nevada’s soldiers during the Civil War. At 12:30 p. m. the House recessed until 1 o’clock. ft.entx an Obstructionist. On reconvening over a hundred members with private bills were hustling about trying to secure recognition, but Mr. Lentz, of Ohio, had declared that he would object to unanimous consent for anything until an order was made to permit the printing of the Ooeur d’Alene investigation testimony. None could persuade him to yield. Figuratively he the House by the throat. Then anpther recess was taken until 1:45 p. m. Then Mr. Lentz withdrew his objection against several bills < t minor importance. At 2 o’cloc k another half hour’s recess was taken. At 2:30 o’clock another minor hill was passed, and then Mr. Lentz resumed his objections, the House again came to a standstill and recessed until 3 o’clock. When the House reconvened, Mr. Lentz still blocked the path of private bi\ls. Sev eral he let pass, and one offered by a Democratic member he yielded to, but Mr. Cushman of Washington immediately ob jected in retaliation for the Democratic objection to a bill offered. At 4 o’clock the House again insisted upon its disagreement to the Senate amendments to the naval bill relating to ocean and lake surveys and the abolition of the sea course for naval cadets. Armor Plate Igreement. Mr. Foes then called the attention of the House to the fact that the Senate, after making a protracted struggle, had practically agreed to the House provision relative to armor plate. (Applause.) The only change was a change of ver biage, making it mandatory upon the Secretary of the Navy, to erect an armor plate factory in case he cannot contract for urmor plate at a nominal cost. “Is not this a complete change in the policy of the government. In taking the limit off the price of armor plale?” ask ed Mr. Kitchin of North Carolina. “No limit was ever placed upon the price of armor,” replied Mr. Foss, "un til 1897, and owing to the action tof Con gress for several years, the construction of ships has been tied up.” Mr. Kitchin assailed the proposition to give the Secretary of the Navy carte blanche to pay w’hat price he pleases for armor plate. , The House concurred In the Senate amendment, 154 to 96. The bill was then sent back to conference, and the House took a recess until 8 o'clock. Lentz Gets In More Work. When the House reconvened at 8 o’clock Mr. Cannon, chairman of the Appropri ation Committee, attempted to .make a statement relative to appropriations for this Congress, but Mr. Lentz interposed an objection. He was obdurate. A moment later, When the Senate resolu tion to permit foreign exhibitors at the Buffalo exposition to bring In laborers 10 install their exhibits was presented Mr. Cannon got the floor and was proce ding to make his statement when Mr. [*>ntz interposed the point of order that tlie remarks were not germane. Mr. Cannon frankly stated that his pur pose was to make the usual statement for the benefit of (he country and the House. If the objection was Insisted upon h would print it in the record. Despue the appeals of some of his Democratic sss - elates Mr. I>entz refused to rel nt nrd Mr. Cannon desisted. The resolution was adopted, as was a similar resolution relative to Ihe Toledo .

In fact, by skillful selection of food,even the hottest day can be made quite com fortable. Start with fruit of some kind, then a dish of Grape-Nuts food with cold cream, one or two soft boiled eggs, a slice of bread and butter and a cup of cocoa or Postum Food Coffee. On that son of meal one will be fully nourished until the mid-day. Grape-Nuts , food Is concentrated and powerful, Imparling to Ihe user a sense of reserve force snd strength. The strong man thinks the weather moderate snd comfortable when the nervous, weak man thinks It unbearably hot. Grape-Nuts food Is perfectly cooked at the factory snd ready for Instanl use, cOol and de licious, requiring no not stove and cross cook on a hot morning. “Health Is a mat ter of wise selection of food and a con tented mind."
