LURID DISCUSSIONS
Enliven Proceedings In the Halls
Os Congress.
PETTIGREW MAKES SERIOUS CHARGES
Cannon Defies Objectors—-Date Fixed For
Vote on Financial Bill In the Senate.
Appropriation Measure Passed.
Without difficulty and within five
minutes an agreement was reached in
the senate Wednesday to take final
vote on the pending bill fixing gold as
the standard of value in the United
States. Mr. Aldrich chairman of the
finance committee, suggested February
Ist as a suitable date for the vote. Mr.
Jones, Democrat, of Arkansas, named
February 15th, and his proposition was
accepted by Mr. Aldrich.
In the intervening time the measure
will be discussed. After several days
of debate the drag-net resolution of
inquiry regarding the conduct of the
) Philippine war was adopted. It was
I introduced by Mr. Hoar of Massa
' chusetts, and practically was adopted
as a general substitute for resolutions
of a similar, but less extended charae
*? ter, offered by Mr, Pettigrew and Mr.
Lodge.
Beyond a vigorous speech by Mr.
Pettigrew the resolution aroused no
debate and it is within the discretion
of the president to send or not to send
any of the information required.
The resolution offered by Mr. Hale,
of Maine, as to the seizure of the flour
by the British authorities was adopt
ed, but only after a spirited debate and
after the resolution had been material
ly amended.
When the Hoar resolution, amend
ed by Mr. Lodge, calling for general
information regarding the conduct of
the insurrection in the Philippines was
taken ;.p, Mr. Pettigrew, of South
Dakota, spoke iu favor of its passage.
He declared that he had received in
formation since the introduction of
his resolutions, that assured him of
the facts he had asserted.
“The blood of every soldier,” said
he, “who has fallen since the war be
gan, is on the hands of the administra
tion. The blood of the sixty soldier
boys of South Dakota who lost their
livens after being conscripted into an
unwilling service after their terms had
expired, lies at the door of the admin
istr^*; op, and there is no escape for it.
I b. „ge that the censorship of the
press and the suppression of facts are
for the purpose of advancing the politi
cal ambitions of Mr. McKinley.”
If this action, said Mr. Pettigrew,
put the administration in a hole as
was stated, it was not his fault. The
resolution was then passed without
division.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The house had another inning Wed
nesday over the sale of the New York
custem house by Secretary Gage. Mr.
Sulzer, of New York, the author of the
resolution for an investigation of the
treasury’s transactions with the New
York banks, started the ball to rolling
by charging that the mandate had gone
forth to suppress it.
Mr. Sibley, a Pennsylvania Demo
crat, formerly a radical advocate of
free silver, who is now out of sympa
thy with the Democrats in the house,
warmly commended Mr. Gage’s course.
These two speeches precipitated a de
bate which lasted almost three hours.
Mr. Hepburn, Republican, of lowa,
assailed Mr. Sulzer for some of his ex
travagant statements and declared
there ought to be some way to rebuke
a member for slandering honored offi
cials.
Later in the day during the discus
sion of the appropriation for the army,
Mr. Cannon, in charge of the bill,
challenged any member to move to
strike it out.
Mr. Williams, Democrat, of Missis
sippi, replied to Mr. Cannon in an
eloquent speech in which he affirmed
the loyalty of every American citizen
to the flag and charged Mr. Cannon
with shrewdly issuing a challenge
that he knew would not be accepted.
The urgent deficiency bill was passed
with only one unimportant amend
ment.
Mr. Terry, of Arkansas, and Mr.
Cannon became involved in a contro
versy toward the close of the session.
Mr. Terry denounced the war in the
Philippines as criminal. Mr. Cannon
.said the appropriation of 845,000,000
in the bill was to support the army,
uphold the flag and suppress the in
surrection.
Mr. Terry said he was willing to
support the flag. His denunciation
was of the purposes of the war. He
taunted the Republicans with forever
wrapping the flag about them and cry
ing “Patriotism.”
Clark Bribery Investigation.
After a recess of four days the sen
ate committee on privileges and elec
tion resumed its investigation Wednes
day of the charges of bribery in con
nection with the election of Hon. W.
A. Clark to the senate from Montana.
Edgeley's Wonderful Welk •
For many years Edgeley, N. D., has
boasted of one of the finest flowing ar
tesian wells in the State. The water
comes gushing out with high pressure
in a stream as large as a man's arm.
The well is 1,370 feet deep, and the
Water is too saline for domestic use.
A beautiful lake has been made at a
small cost, which in the winter time
furnishes a splendid skating rink for
the young people. The water has been
placed under control, and Is piped
through the streets, affording a sys
tem of waterworks, the most cheaply
of any town In the country.
For many years It has been known
that the water was mixed with gas,
but no effort was made to separate the
two until last fall. C. J. Sturgeon, a
druggist, has at last succeeded in ac
complishing this after many experi
ments, and now secures gas for light
ing and heating purposes In his store
and residence. The separation of the
gas Is to be accomplished on a larger
scale, and the streets and residences
are to be lighted and the business
bouses all heated at a minimum cost,
from the same source that furnishes
the town a free waterworks system.
The well is on the experimental farm,
under control of the State Agricultur
al College.
A number of the larger farms In the
State are equipped with such wells,
and in the future their farm houses
may be lighted and heated at the cost
of putting in gas pipes.—St. Paul Pio
neer Press.
Best Snakes Come From India.
Snakes and birds form a large part
of the animal importer’s business.
These creatures come in great numbers
from India, Africa and South Amer
ica. The public is peculiarly fascinated
by snakes, and they are among the
most popular creatures exhibited. The
best specimens of reptiles come from
India, and a snake twenty feet or more
in length is worth considerable money.
In a cage it is the size of the snake
more than its venomous qualities that
attract, and a large boa constrictor or
python is worth more than a rattle
snake of smaller size.
New Cable Line*.
France Is absolutely dependent upon Eng
land for news of the Transvaal war, because
the cables are under her control, and she is
ready to spend a vast sum of money to free
herself. This is like many people, who, alter
allowing dyspepsia to settle upon them, spend
a fortune seeking deliverance. Save your
money and try Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters,
the medicine which never fails to cure dys
pepsia, constipation, biliousness, malaria,
fever and ague.

CUTICURA Remedies Bring Speedy Relief
and a Permanent Cure at a Cost of Only $2.
I was a sufferer for eight years from that most distressing of
all diseases, Eczema. I tried some of the best physicians in the
t country, but they did me little
good. The palms of my hands
were covered and would become
inflamed; little white blisters at
first would appear, then they
would peel off, leaving a red,
smooth surface which would burn
like fire and itch; well, there is
no name for it. On the inside
of the upper part of both my
limbs great red blotches, not
unlike hives, would appear, and
as soon as I became warm the
burning and itching would begin.
Night after night I would lie
awake all night and scratch and
almost go wild I heard of Cuti
cura Remedies, got them and
gave them a thorough trial, and after a few applications I noticed
the redness and inflammation disappear. Before I had used
one box there was not a sign of Eczema left. I can truthfully
assert that $2.00 worth of CUTICURA REMEDIES cured me.
There has been no sign of its return anywhere upon my body
since I wrote you I was cured, nearly four years ago. Hardly a
month passes but what I receive a letter or some one calls and
wishes to know how I got cured if I had Eczema bad, and if
the cure has been permanent, etc. etc. I always take pleasure in
enlightening them the best I can. '
