MR. SYME'3 GREAT VOICE.
And Some Other Large Voices that Haye
Been Heard in Congress,
There is always some member of
Congress who possesses a voice far
superior in depth and volume to that
of any of the other members, which in
itself serves to give the member pos¬
sessing It a certain reputation. In the
present House this voice is possessed
by Marriott Broshis of the Tenth Penn¬
sylvania district. Mr. Broslus has a
faculty of talking so loud at times that
the people In the galleries cannot dis¬
tinguish what he says. Another Penn¬
sylvanian who possessed a similarly
powerful voice was the late W. D.
Kelley, commonly known as "Pig-Iron
Kelley.” in his day ho held the volte
lcoth agaiuRi ail ..11 vomers comers until until Chirles cndru.s
H. Van Wyck of New York, who wan
forward a Senator from Nebraska,
appeared on the scene. His voice was
even grcatci than that of Mi .... Kelley,
Hack In Ihe old days the greatest voice
( [nowJ) j n (‘ongress was that of the late
William Allen of Ohio, whose statue
now standa In Statuary Hull at the
Capitol. It Ih told of Mr, Allen,.when
ho urns in tho House before the days
of rail roads, that one of Ills colleagues
loft for Ills home In Ohio. The day
■iftor ho was gone, Mr. Allen lamented
the fact that he had taken hie-depar¬
ture so soon, as he wanted to consult
him about some inoaiiire which had
up suddenly. Thdt needn’t trou¬
ble you, Allen," said a fellow member.
Me hns not got across tho Alleghanlea

The greatest voice of which there
is any record or tradition about Con¬
gress was that possessed by George G.
Symos of Colorado. Byrnes, who was
i good deal of a character, finally com¬
mitted suicide. He was an Ohioan by

The Queen &; Credent train dis¬
patchers at Vicksburg, Miss., reported
qt 12 o’clock Friday night that Biggs
levee, in‘Madison; parish, broke at 10
o’clock and that" the break was one
hundred fget.'vide in twenty minutes.
The break-is foiir and a/half miles
south of the delta, Louisiana, and one
and a half miles above the upper end
of Reed’s levee.
The news waa sent to the delta at
once, the operator being roused out of
bed and the. message of warning sent
along the line of the railroad west¬
ward.
The levee is a very large one and
has been engaging the special atten¬
tion of the levee authorities, for weeks,
or ever since the Mississippi crevasse.
About six hundred .convicts were
employed borers, on it in addition to other la¬
and so greatly strengthened
had it been made that until up to the
time of the break it was believed to be
safe.
Advices from Natchez and other
points below Vicksburg indicate that
the supreme test in the flood situation
is at Iqitid, The swift current which
is rising steadily is heating against the
levees with such force as to cause the
gravest apprehension at many places.
At Natchez the river is near the top
of the levee and everything possible
is being done to fight, back the rising
waters. AU kinds of rumors have
been current regarding wholesale loss
of life on Davis island, but diligent
telegraphic inquiry fails to confirm
tho stories,
Tt is known that three negroes were
drowned on the island, but outside of
these fatalities no further loss of life
is known to have occurred.
At Vicksburg the river is rising at
the rate of four-tenths of n foot daily.
The swift volume of water pouring out
of point the Yazoo miles into the Mississippi, at a
twelve north of Vicksburg
will continue for several days.
Tho levees between Bedford, four
miles south of the delta, Louisiana,
and Duck port, six above, arc in a preca¬
rious condition and every man and boy
available was put to Work strength
ning the embankment. At some points
in this stretch of levee the water is ;
washing over and the greatest, alarm i
is felt. j

SPAIN WITHDRAWING THOOI’S.
Part of Her Army In Cuba If* Called
Home,
According to information received
at Washington from trustworthy
sources the withdrawal of at least a
part of the great array that Spain has
maintained for several years in the is¬
land of Cuba, will begin when the
riyny season sets in within a few days.
The initial movement will be the de¬
parture of 10,000 Spanish troops from
Havana for Spain and within a short
time after that 30,000 troops, it is un¬
derstood, will follow.
Whether this movement i« to be
construed in favor or against Spain it
is impossible now to say. Spain says
positively that little or nothing now
remains of the insurrection ;tbat Gomez
has only about fifty ot a hundred fol¬
lowers and that to watch these under
the conditions in which the campaign
has been necessarily conducted, a few
thousand men are quite as effective as
the army of 80,000 men which has
been maintained in Cuba.
The Cuban contingent, on the other
hand, insist that the Spanish financial
resources are exhausted and that the
troops are to he withdrawn because of
lack of money to keep them in the
service.

PRECIPITATED IN SENATE BY A
MOTION BY MORRILL.
DEMOCRATS SHOWS SOLID FRONT.
Gorman Criticizes Speaker For Not Ap¬
pointing Committees—Special Message
From President.
An unexpected tariff vote was pre¬
cipitated in the senate Wednesday by
Senator Morrill’s motion to refer to
the finance committee the Vest resolu¬
tion declaring the order of Secretary
Gage as to the protective clause of the
tariff illegal. A yea and nay vote was

fer prevailed—yeas, 24; nays, 23.
The only republican vote cast
against the motion was that of Mr.
Chandler, while the democrats voted
solidly against it. They had the as¬
sistance of all the silver republicans
and the populists present except Mr.
Mantle (silver republican-), of Mon¬
tana, who voted with the straight re¬
publicans. Mr. Cannon (silver repub¬
lican) (Tennessee), and Messrs, Butler, Harris
Heitfelt, Pettigrew and
Turner against the (populists), were recorded

A Special Hlfssajje,
The presideut sent a special message
to congress urging it to make suitable

The closing paragraph of the message
was as follows: “It is proper that I

postponrnont of the matter for nearly
a year longer could not but operate
greatly to the disadvantage of the
United States in view of tho elaborates
preparations already making by other
governments and of the danger that
further delay may result in inadequate
allotment of space to this country, as
well as incomplete organization of the
American exhibit.
Firfet CongroDMionn! Action.
The first step toward the acceptance
of the invitation from Fiance to par¬
ticipate in tho Baris exposition of 1900

lowing action:

ing the invitation and for
the appointment of a commissioner

al and nine scientific experts to repre¬
sent the United States,
The sum of $750,000 is appropriated
to meet the expenses of the exhibit.
The resolution directs the president
of the United States officially to notify
the governors of states of the desire of
the government to he represented at
this exposition and to request them to
take proper steps for representation ot
all (die states and territories in the
United Stales at the exhibit.

Motherhood.
A mother who is in good physical condition transmits
to her children the blessings of a good constitution.
The child fairly drinks in health from its mother’s
robust constitution before birth, and from a healthy
mother’s milk after.
Is not that an incentive to prepare for a healthy
maternity?
Do "you know the meaning of what
is popularly -called those “long¬
ings,’’ or cravings, which beset so
many women daring pregnancy?
There is something lacking in the
mother's blood. Nature cries out
and will be satisfied at all hazards.
One woman wants sour things,
another wants sweets, another
wants salt things, and so on.
The real need all the time is to
enrich the blood so as to supply
nourishment for another life, and
to build op,the entire generative
system, so that the birth may be
possible and successful.
If expectant mothers would fort¬
ify themselves with Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, which
for twenty years has sustained
thousands of women in this condition, there wdtild ixrfever disappointments,
at birth, and they would not experience thosa annoying” longings.)’
In the following letter to Mrs. Pinkham, Mrs. AYhituey denpmstrates the
power of the Compound in such cases. She says:
“ From the time I was sixteen years old till I was twenty-vlirCe, I was
troubled with weakness of the kidneys and terrible pains when my monthly
periods came on. I made up my mind to try Lydia E. Pinkfuwn's Vegetable
Compound and was soon relieved. After I was married, the doctor said I
would never be able to go my full time and have a living child, as I was
constitutionally weak. I had lost a baby at seven months and a half;- The
next time I commenced at once and continued to take.your Compound through
the period of pregnancy, anil I said then, if I Went my full time and the baby
lived to be three months old, I should send a letter to you. M.v baby is now
seven months old and is as healthy and hearty as ono could wish.
“ I am so thankful that 1 used your medicine, for if gave me the robust
health to transmit to my child. I cannot express my gratitude to you; I
never expected such a blessing. Praise God for Lydia B. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, and may others who are suffering do as I did and find relief, and
may many homes be brightened as mine has been.”—M bs. L. Z. Whitney, 5
