(NXIOIIS IK INCDNGRESS ENDURED FATE OF BILLS AND VOTES OF CONSTITUENTS BRING MUCH WORRY TO SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN. WASHINGTON. May SI.-These are anx k>u» days for those members of congress who are in doubt as to their re-eiectlon. and are uncertain as to the fate of certain appropriation bl Us in which they have an individual interest. • The river and harbor, the public build ings and the sundry civil bills have pass ed both houses of congress, but are still in tbe hands of the conference committee, empowered to make such changes as may seem beet for the interests of the coun try. The conference on these important money Mils weild a powerful influence at this period of the session, and It is amus ing to observe the deference shown by those members who have “pieces of pie ' in the legislative closet. Some of tbe big money bills are being purposely held back to oe used in in fluencing Republican bolters on the Cuban reciprocity question. Some of the most boisy opponents of this bill have very vital Interests in the river and harbor and tn the public buildings bills. In con ference it is expected that some items will have to be sacrificed in order to get an agreement between the two houses. The leaders In the senate and house are watch ing the situation and developments very closely and they are aware that party dis cipline can be effectively employed in a number of Instances for the good of the administration, and witnout doubt this whip will be used to get the members into bne. Quite a tempest tn a teapot was created tn Washington this week, when the order was sent forth by the secretary of war authorising Chief Clerk Scofield to sign curtain papers, in his stead during the temporary absence of hrmself or the as sistant secretary. This has been wired ertr the country as another method of bounding Lieutenant General Miles. As a matter of fact it is only the revival of an old custom under which Chief Clerk Twee dale. Mr. Scofield’s predecessor, was again and again made responsible for the routine business of the departrment during the abaence of Lincoln. Proctor and others. These orders are all on file at the depart ment and number as many in a single year. The first and only sign of the adjourn ment of congress during present session was the passage late Tuesday afternoon by the house of a resolution prohibiting tbe sale in the house restaurant of any alcoholic liquors or wines or beers. The resolution in question was introduc ed by representative ladies of Indiana at the suggestion of Representative Joy. of Missouri, and was warmly supported by Charles Littlefield, of the W. C. T. U., of Rockland. Me- It passed by a vote of US to M. The minority report of the committee on inter-oceanic canals has been prepared by Senator Kittenredge. of South Dakota, and it is a long argument in favor of the Pan ama route and the Spooner amendment to the Hepburn bill. .The Spooner amendment proposes that Che president be authorised to purchase the Panama canal and to complete the construction of It; but if that route is found to be impracticable or title of tbe Panama company such as cannot be trans ferred to the United States, the president is given authority to construct the canal by the Nicaragua route. The minority have accepted that amendment as tbe one for which they will make their fight in the senate. Their report will deal with the advantage of the Panama route and the disadvantage of the Nicaragua route. The probabilities now are that congress will not adjourn before the first of Au gust. The PI hl It ppi ne civil government bill may not be brought to a vote in the senate for two weeks. The debate on the bill has now continued tor a month and only two senators. Lodge and Dolliver, have discussed the bill on its merits. Most of the speeches from the opposition to the administration have been denuncia tions of the army. It looks now as if the Democrats propose to keep congress In session all summer, while they look about for material for a political issue for the campaign this fall. Should they fall to find one in the Philippines they will turn their attention to Cuba. INJUHCTiOHSTOPS WORK ONJAILBOJO POLICEMEN PATROL BIRMINGHAM STREETS TO PREVENT THE LAYING OF RAILROAD TRACKS. t I BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. June I—The rail road war between the Birmingham Belt and the Seaboard Air Line has now got ten to the injunction stage, both sides be ing stopped for the time being from lay ing track. The streets on which the Sea board Air Line has had franchises grant ed by the city and the county are still patrolled by policemen to prevent the belt from laying tracks. When the Seaboard Air Line commenced to lay tracks the belt enjoined it and a counter injunction followed. It is not apprehended that the injunction war will amount to anything more than a delay, as the Seaboard's franchises* are said to be invincible. The difficulty, by common consent, seems to be in regard to the price the Seaboard shall nay for the belt. It is understood that Mr. H. M. Atkinson wants 51.000.000 for it ■nd that President Williams of the Sea board. is endeavoring to make better terms j. HENRY BARROWS, OF IS DEAD OBERLIN, Ohio.

I ’ Mrs. Wake Had Given Up All Hope Till She Took Dr. Wllliams’Pink Pills. They Cured Her. To He at the point of death for months, to be told by the physician that there is no hope for recovery and then to be re stored to health and strength by Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, was the experience of Mrs. W. H. Wake, of No. 84 Broad street, Rahway. N. J. To look at her now one would thiijk it hard ly possible that she had ever had a seri ous illness. Speaking of it she says: “About three years ago I was In a con dition generally known as run-down. I was miserable indeed; lifeless and lan guid. 1 had np strength at all. all de-, sire for food had left me. I was terribly nervous and could not sleep. What was worse I u.d not Improve, and my weight went down from 135 pounds to 96. I was under the care of a physician for thirteen months but still I grew’ worse. He said my blood had almost turned to water. I was so weak I was obliged to lie down all the time: If I tried to stand up or even sit up I would faint away. "Finally the doctor told me that un less I began to get better within two weeks I was doomed to quick consump tion. Then I gave up all hope. “But about this time a friend, who knew something of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, avlsed me to try them. I did so and, after taking the third box. I began to fee! better. I con tinued using them faithfully until I was cured. Dr. Williams’ Ptttk Pills for Pale People are a wonderful. remedy for per sons afflicted as I was and I shajl always recommend them.” The disease from which Mrs. "Wake suffered was anaemia. It is character ised by a palld complexion, pale lips, dull eyes, tongue and gums bloodless; 'short ened breath on slight exertion—such as going upstairs: palpitation of the heart, feeling of impending death. weakness, loss of appetite and ambition: irregular ity and pain in, the natural functions of women. i The one remedy that has proved itself a specific for anaemia Is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They are sold at 50 cents a box or six bores for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. 'Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. HOftSTOfuTSIBMY WILL BE WAB CRY . THIS FALL 9 r BUT REPUBLICANS WILL USE IT IN CAMPAIGN AGAINST DEM OCRATIC NOMI- ' NEES. WASHINGTON, June I—The Republi can campaign managers and party leaders believe they have secured an excellent campaign cry from the Democratic utter ances during the six weeks' debate in the' senate on the Philippine civil government bUI. Already they have begun to shout the text: "Democrats have slandered the army in the field.” It will be interesting to watch the de velopment of this Republican trick, for It illustrates not only the methods the Re publicans use to gain their victories, but also their everlasting vigilance and their ability to make political capital out of nothing. The Democrats, led by Patterson, . of* Colorado, Rawlins, of Utah, and Carmack, of Tennessee, have frequently used In the debate Instances of cruelty practiced on the Filipinos by American soldiers, but in every Instance they have been careful to protect the army as a whole from the charge of unnecessary cruelty. They have maintained that the boys W’ho are fighting for the flag on the other side of the world are not responsible for the in human brutality which has marked so many cases of punishment of Filipino prisoners and have frequently declared that the officers, not tbe men, are the ones to whom the guilt attaches. Their purpose in ringing in the instances of cruelty was to show that the policy of the administration in pacifying the islands was neither just nor right, and should not be continued indefinitely as the Republi can bill under discussion proposed. This kind of argument by the Democrats cut the Republicans deep and before it had been in progress two days tbe Repub lican leaders experienced a sensation sim ilar In effect to heart disease. They hur riedly got together and mapped out a plan to cjfeck the Democratic advances. In stead of remaining silent as they had planned at first, they put up their best speakers and sought to stem the tide by adroitly twisting the Democratic monou vers into an attack on the whole army. Thlg plar of the Republicans was vigor ously started out by Lodge and carried on by Spooner. Finally President Roose velt himself took occasion at Arlington on Decoration day to defend the army from an attack which had never been made. Spooner, the beat debater on the Republi can side, drew a wonderful word picture of our army fighting 8.000 miles away while the Democrats In the senate, he declared, stood slandering and vililtying every man in uniform across the Pacific. His words were so affecting that hundred of his friends who had gathered in the galleries to hear his speech cheered him as he made up his case against colleagues across ‘the aisle who on that very day had stood at their desks and proclaimed the honor and courage of the American soldier. t The president’s speech and Spooner’s speech will be printed and spread broad cast in every close district this fall. It Is said that 10,000 are now on the press for distribution in districts where the Phllli plne regtmenu were recruited. It can readily be seen what the effect would be if the Democrats failed to meet the Re publican charge as set forth In the speeches. But the Democrats are not asleep. They have elected their campaign committee with a view to meeting just this charac ter of campaign. For every Republican speech sent Into the close districts a Dem ocratic speech exposing the falsity of the Republican charge will be there to greet it. Wherever the battle cry "Slandered Army” is raised, another will echo from the Democratic stump: "Brave Army, but Brutal Orders!" With this trick of the Republicans, and the others they have up their sleeves— such as the president’s attack on the beef trust and the agitation to lower the tariff rates, both of which are pretty bunco games—tbe campaign promises to be ex ceedingly lively. Both parties are deter mined to win the majority in the next con gress and both are already claiming to have the best start. It is sure to be nip and tuck until the very end and the fight will liven up an otherwise dull fall. Death at Cedartown. CEDARTOWN. Ga.. June 3,-The friends of Mr. and Mis. W. H.

LEADERS MET TO CONFER MONDAY IMPORTANT CONFERENCE WAS THEN HELD AT THE WHITE HOUSE ON SUBJECTS OF VI TAL VALUE. WASHINGTON. June B.—Senators Proc ter. Nelson, Gamble and Kitridge called at the white house yesterday on lnvt-1 tation, and had a conference with the president in regard to pending legislation.' The subjects discussed were tbe Cuban reciprocity bill and the prospects for canal legislation-at this session. ■ , The objeftt of t_e conference was to urge upon the senators the necessity for una nimity of action and the real necessity for; legfslatlofi on these subjects at thia ses sion. . it. Another conference was helq yesterday afternoon at the white house, at which, other members of the senate were present to confer on these matters. , As to the canal bill. It Is Known that the president would reluctantly accept the re sponsibility imposed by the Spooner amendment of selecting the canal route, but would much prefer that congress should select the route Itself. .The president sent for a number of sen ators who have been known in opposition to granting concessions on the ground that it will seriously interfere with beet sugar Interests of the country. He urged upon these senators the importance of united action, if possible, and expressed the hope that the Republicans would act together. The president again assured these Republicans that In urging action on reciprocity he was carrying out the announcement of President McKinley, ut tered in his last speech, which had met with such popular approval throughout the country, also the promises that had been made concerning concessions to Cuba. The president Indicated that the adop tion of the Platt amendment made it ob ligatory upon the United States to treat Cuba differently from other nations. In one casual remark he said that events may show that it would have been ter to allow Cuba to be absolutely in dependent as was Mexico. He told these Republican senators that the party ought not to be divided on tariff issues as it was entering the campaign and he expressed the hope that a Cuban bill would be passed without the aid of Democratic votes. One result of the conferences that have been held at the White House was a meeting today at 1 o’clock by the com mittee of Senator Elkins, where those senators who are opposed to granting concessions in Cuba or who oppose the straight reduction plan of the majority, assembled to consider different proposi tions. These are for a fiat appropriation to the Cuban treasury, or a rebate on duties collected upon Cuban imports to be paid Into the Cuban treasury. Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska.* present ed a plan w’hich meets with some favor and was considered in the way of a com* promise between the straight out reduc tion- plan and those favored by the beet sugar men. It promises to grant a re duction of 20 per cent on Cuban products for • five- ’years for a like-concession on} products of the United States going Into Cuba. |with a proviso that the president may at any time cancel the reduction if It IB found that the benefit of the reduc tion is going to others than to the jilant ers and sugar growers. Another part of the plan Is to remove the differential on refined sugar and add it to all raw sugars, except those coming from Cuba. This provision, it is claimed, will protect the beet sugar interests. Eighteen Republican senators attended the conference of those representing the beet sugar interests. The general senti ment was in favor of defeating any proposition for Cuban reciprocity, but in order to secure harmony an agreement was made that would support a rebate plan, the money to be paid to the Cuban government.

JACKSON, Ga., June 3.—Dr .T. F. Laing, a prominent physician, residing about eight miles northwest of Jackson, received yesterday a telegram from Sa vannah stating that his son, Walter Eu gene Laing, who had been working for a large mercantile firm in Savannah for a year and who mysteriously disappeared last Wednesday, had been drowned on the beach at Savannah. From the meagre news received by Dr. Laing from the Savannah firm Walter, while out collecting for the trip, went riding on a bicycle to the beach and went In bathing and later in the day his clothes and bicycle were found upon the beach and it is supposed while out bathing he was drowned. The first of last week he wrote to bis parents that he would return home in a few days and his delay In not arriving on time caused Dr. Laing to wire the Savannah firm Sunday of his son's whereabouts. The business house being closed Sunday Dr. Laing did not receive any news regarding his son. Yes terday the firm wired him that Walter's clothes and bicycle were found upon the beach last Wednesday and that they be lieved that the young man was drowned while In bathing. Mr. "Walter E.

HAYGIVENTHANKS FOB HIS EULOGY' AFTERJJEBATE RESOLUTION WA$ NOT PASSED UNTIL HEATED DEBATE HAD BEEN HELD IN HOUSE. WASHINGTON. June 3.-The resolution thanking Secretary Hay for his McKinley address was adopted 129 tn 46. When the house met yesterday Mr. Bur ton pt Qhlo presented .Qie' conference re port on the river and harbor bill and gave notice that he would call It up today. Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, chairman of- the committee on foreign affairs from his committee presented a resolution calling upon the president, if not incompatible with the public interest for full informa tion concerning the invitation of the Brit ish supply camp in Louisiana, made under his authority. The resolution was adopt ed. Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, moved the pas sage under suspension of the rules of a joint resolution extending the thanks of congress to Hon. John Hay, for his address on the occasion of the McKinley memorial services last February. Some time ago Mr. DeArmond, of Mis souri, objected to the request for unani mous consent to consider this bill. Today Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, de manded a second upon Mr. Grosvenor’s motion and it was ordered. 92 to 52. Twenty minutes debate were allowed on each side. Mr. Grosvenor explained that Secretary Hay had been Invited to deliver the memorial address by botu houses of congress following which the resolution of thanks was offered in terms identical with that passed by congress after Bank croft, the historian, had delivered the eu logy upon Lincoln. Mr. Richardson then yielded his 20 minutes to Mr. Clark, of Missouri, who made an objection to the consideration of the resolution in commit tee. < Mr. Clark said that he appreciated that any one who opposed the pending resolu tion would subject himself to the criticism of every editor in tbe United States who also was a postmaster or who hopefl to be a postmaster. In some respects Mr’ Clark said he had a high opinion and a high re gard for the secretary of state. He was an historic personage. He had made a name m literature, both in prose and poet ry that any man might envy. It was not against the man therefore that his criti cism was directed. It was because in the presence of a great, brilliant and sympa thetic audience he had abused the occasion to inject into his eulogy of McKinley a high-class stump speech. KILLED OLD GRAY GOOSE AND WAS AFTERWARDS FINED The old gray goose at Grant Park Is dead. She was run over Sunday after noon by a young man, who was arraigned before Recorder Broyles next morning on the charge of reckless driving. Henry Pittman, who lives beyond the Fulton Cotton Mills, was the defendant. The goose killed had long been one of the sights of the park. She was infirm from old age, and walked sideways. In the lake there was nbt a duck or goose that could keep up with her at all, but on land she got sea sick. She was What a fancier would call a Chinese or Hong Kong goose, having a long swan-llke neck. “What say you,” asked the recorder, "to killing the old'gray goose?” The young man said his horse became frightened and that he was unable to hold him. He had tried to stop in time to save the life of the goose, but his efforts had been futile. “That might have been a child, instead of a goose,” said the recorder. “And, be sides, a goose should not be run over. People driving in the park should be very careful.” A small fine was Imposed. This was paid and the young man departed with the death of the old gray goose on his conscience. clubmTmbTecTto” UNDERTAKER’S SHOP BIRMINGHAM. Ala..

SAVANNAH, Ga., June 3.—Judge Pope Barrow, of the superior court of Chatham county, who stated* last week that he would pay his attentions io the beef trust in his charge to the grand jury of his court, kept his word yesterday and tackled the big corporations. He holds that under the Georgia laws against the offenses of “forestalling, re grating and engrossing,” which have slept dormant for many years, the beef trust can be proceeded against in the superior courts of the state. ~ He told the grand jury if they would indict the persons responsible for the com bine of beef, there,was plenty of evidence against them that could be used in the courts of Georgia. He said in conclusion: “If you can find the names of the lead ing packers who have been Instrumental in forming ‘the beef trust,’ as it Is called, and who are members of It, the first step will be taken. If you can then secure evi dence going to show that they have in fact bought up cattle throughout the country, ‘coming ’in the way to market,’ and that they have by these means been enabled to enhance the price of beef pro ducts and have In fact enhanced the price in the markets of Savannah, you will be authorized to bring in a bill of Indictment against them, and I believe it is your duty to do it. In the bill filed in the United States court in Illinois by the attorney general of the United States the names of the defendants can be found. In their an swer, admissions which will be of value to you, will be found, and in the pleadings and evidence in that case, you will be able to secure enough to go a long ways towards making out a case. “I give it to you as my opinion that an indictment can be legally found, if the facts are as they are publicly and univer sally stated to be. I think it is your duty to investigate and present these people. If you will find a bill of indictment, I prom ise-you that no stone will be left unturned to bring the defendants to the bar of this court for trial. If they can be Indicted and punished in this court, it will settle the question that they can be similarly in dicted and punished in every county In the United States, in which they sold beet, where the law Is the same as it is in Georgia. “I hope you will take this matter up in earnest and at once. I will give you all the assistance in my power. They ought not to be allowed to oppress the people any longer.' They ought not to be allowed to go on levying forced contributions upon the men of this country by applying the of hunger to the women and children of this country.” It is more than probable under this charge that the grand jury will do some investigating of the beef trust and indict ments may be found.

AUGUSTA, Ga., June 3.—On the eve of the election tremendous efforts are being made by the various local candidates to get each ahead of their opponents. Es pecially stirring is the race between Messrs. O’Connor and Clark for sheriff. Both claim to be confident of election, and the prospect is for one of the bitterest fights at the polls next Thursday for this office that has ever taken place for a county office. It is claimed, and reluctantly conceded by Captain O’Connor’s friends, that from the country precincts and the lower wards Mr. Clark will come to the Fourth ward with a majority, variously estimated to be between 200 and 350. The Fourth and Fifth wards are former O’Connor strong holds, and here he hopes to overcome the adverse majority and have It shifted the other way. and hence every vote in these wards will be fought for. Every ward heeler is now employed by one side or the other, and it is freely stated that there will be rqpney to pay for votes, as high as S2O if necessary, to win. The chief interest in the county centers in this fight, it being apparently closer than any other. In the other contested county offices it is conceded that the incumbents will be re-elected.

Walker, on July 22d, the anniversary of his death. The Walker Monument association was formed a short time ago to erect a mon ument to the memory of General William H. T. Walker, ’the only major general from the state of Georgia, who was killed in the civil war. The monument is to be an exact duplicate of the monument erected several years ago to the memory of General McPherson, the Federal gen eral who was killed at the same time. Major General W. H. T. Walker was killqd on the 22d day of July, 1864, In the fighting around Atlanta. He was the only major general from Georgia who died from wounds during the war. He was a gradu ate of the West Point Military academy and a native of this state. He was wound ed in the Seminole Indian war, in the swamps of Florida, and was again almost fatally wounded in the Mexican war. He was a lieutenant oolonel in the United States army when Georgia left the union, and he immediately resigned his commis sion.to fight for his state.

BY INFERENCE THE CHARGE IS PRACTICALLY MADE IN THE SENATE BY SENATOR BEVER IDGE. WASHINGTON, June 3.—Senator Bever idge, who is understood to be the mouth piece of the administration in the Philip pine legislation, today in the senate asked Senator Culberson, the Democratic Philip pine leader, if General Miles furnished the Democrats with parts of the war records on which the charges of American brutal ity in the islands are based. The question was highly significant, us it shows the administration's suspicion of the head of the army. The war department has been suppress ing reports of cruelty in the Philippines, but somehow the Democrats have been securing the reports and they have great ly embarrassed Roosevelt and his follow ers. j Senator Culberson refused to answer the question. When the senate convened at 11 o’clock today, Mr. Frye, chairman on naval af fairs, reported the naval appropriations and gave notice that he would call it up for consideration at the earliest possible time. Mr. Foraker called up the house concur rent resolution calling for thanks of con gress to Secretary- of States John Hay for his memorial address, delivered to the tvfo branches of congress on the life and ser vices off William McKinley. Mr. Allison moved that the senate con cur in the resolution and the motion wad agreed to without comment or division. Mr. Pettus, of Alabama, on account of other duties, withdrew from the commit tee of the senate appointed to confer with a like committee of the house with respect to differences as to conference reports, and Mr. Teller, of Colorado, was named in hfa stead. Consideration then was resumed under the 15-minute rule of the Philippine gov ernment bill. Mr. McLaurin, of Mississippi, denied that the Democrats had attacked the army, and placed the responsibility for the outrages committed in the Philippines up on the policy advocated by the Republi cans. / Mr. Beveridge, of Indiana, said the next world's drama would be enacted on the Pacific and it was essential that the mas tery of that great ocean should be ours, and It would be ours. Mr. Berry, of Arkansas, deplored the fact that the president on Memorial day had seen pfroper to make “a bitter partisan speech.” The president, he sald,,had gohe back forty years to rekindle the fires es sectionalism and had referred to the acts of an infuriated mob to Justify, he sup posed, the awful order of General Smith tn the Philippines. By unanimous consent, Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, was permitted to print in the record the remainder of Sixto Lope*’ statement, a portion of which was read yesterday. Mr. Culberson, of Texas, inti mated that the war department was en deavoring to suppress information con cerning matters in the Philippines. He then presented the charges of Private Andrew K. Weir, against Lieutenant F. P. Arnold and the report thereon by Chp tain P. W. West, alleging cruelty against Filipinos. Mr. Beveridge asked if information of the charges had come from the war department. * 4 ' Mr. Culberson, being pressed, said: “The question of the senator might prop erly be characterized as impertinent,” and finally refused to answer Mr. Beveridge. Mn Beveridge again inquired whether the matters presented had comp from an ofiUer of the war department: "i have already indicated to the senator with sufficient emphasis that I am not to be inquired of e further,” responded Mr. Culberson. "I ask the senator," Mr. Beveridge per sisted, “whether or not, directly or indi rectly, the papers were received by him from General Miles?” Mr. Culberson nqade no reply. Mr. Allison, of lowa, said if the charges had been presented to him he would not have given to them the publicity which Mr. Culberson had given them.
