Negotiations between this government nnd
Denmark for tho purchase of tho Islands
were practically terminated by tho resigna
tion of tho Danish ministry, headed by
Prime Minister Hocrrlng. Tho cabinet re
signed becauso of tho great popular up
rising against tho salo of tho Danish West
Indies to tho United States.
King Christian and tho cabinet of Den
mark had commuted to sell tho Islands to
this country for $1,000,000. It was stipu
lated, however, that tho salo should bo
mado before tho adjournment of tho present
session of congress. Tho Gardner bill was
Introduced at tho Instance of tho president
nnd Secretary Hay and had It been acted
upon speedily, or even considered, tho
cabinet might havo been forced to resign,
but tho bargain arranged would havo been
carried out,
Tho now cabinet will bo mado up of
Danish politicians in favor of retaining tho
Islands.
In ISO" a contract of salo between tho
United States and Denmark for theso
isiamis was entered inio. mo price was io
bo $7,500,000. The treaties failed by tho
refusal of tho United States scnute

tomn receipts collected on Porto Rico goods

hour, hut in this time the wliolo tango of
Porto Rico legislation was discussed,
Richardson, tho democratic 'loor leader,
asked leave to print In tho Record eotno edi
torial prcos criticisms on the subject. When
Dolllver o Iowa objected, Richardson de
clared that this wan most ungracious, to
which Dolllver answered that ho doubted
tho propriety ot reprinting tho newspapers
In tho Record.
Payno of New York, chairman of the
ways and means committee, denied tho re
ports that any rampnlgn fund was involved
In tho bill, and denounced as falso the
statement that mich reports emanated from
members on tho republican sldo of tho
chamber. Ha also combated the Idea that
tho trusts would be beneficiaries of the
pending tariff bill and declared that the
two great trusts, sugar and tobacco, would
benefit moat by getting their sugar and
their tobacco froo of duty. So that, he as
sorted, If there was any campaign "boodle"
It wtis escorted ngalnBt tho proposition of
placing a tariff on goods coming from Porto

Cannon of Illinois closed tho debate In
support of tho conference report. Ho de
clared that the minority, llko cuttlefish,
were trying to muddy tho waters and divert
attention from themselves. Rut tho people
would recognize tho fact thnt tho minority
opposed this practical measuro of relief to
tho Porto Rlcans. For half a century the
democratic policy had been ono which would
havo carried tho governmont to anarchy
and destruction. Now that party was pos

WASHINGTON, March 24. For a few
minutes In the ncnato today surprise, bor
dering almost on consternation in somo
quarters, was created by a request of Ftor
akcr that tho Porto Rico governmental bill
bo recommitted to tho Porto Rico commit
tee. Tho requent precipitated n lively col
loquy, but It finally was developed that tho
bill Foraker wanted recommitted was tho
governmental measuro now on tho calendar,
and not tho unfinished business. During
tho elucidation of his request, however.
Foraker plainly Indicated that It was bis
purposo to ecparato tho bills and press tho
Porto Rico tariff bill to an early vote, his
desire being to havo tho vote taken not
later than next Thursday.
A measuro was passed providing for the.
appointment by the president of a commis
sion to Investigate tho trado and commerce
of the Orlont with a view to the extension
of American commerce.
Galllnger supported the bill, saying tho
pretildcnt had strongly recommended tho

'W Bhort time ago I was called to a pa

I Dr. C. Leutwoln.
The reason n delicate stomach can take

even n small babe can hnndlp It as It causes

Hoar opposed the appointment of senators

AIIIkoii'h Tribute to Morton,
Tho closing hours of the session were de
voted to the consideration of resolutions
accepting from tho stato of Indiana a
statue of Oliver P. Morton. Fitting and
eloquent tributes wero paid to tho memory
of Morton by Fairbanks, Allison nnd Ucvcr
Idge. Allison, following Fairbanks, paid a trib
ute to Morton, with whom ho had served In
tho senate. Ho said It was not only his
plcnsurC to servo with Senator Morton, but
to know much of him, nnd It nfforded htai
special pleasure, after bo many years had
passed nnd tho antagonisms of a genera
tion ago bad been softened or qulto for
gotten, "to address tho senato briefly on tho
occasion of tho receipt by tho United Stntcs
from the ptatc of Indiana of a statue of
this great mnn."
Allison paid particular attention to Mor
ton's enrcer In tho senate. Ho was ono of
tho fow men In tho country's history who,
Immediately upon entering tho senate, had
becomo tho leader of his party In that cham
ber. Referring to Morton's advocacy of tho
reconstruction policy, Allison said:
"That policy has been severely criticised,
but It is not posslblo now to say what
would havo happened had tho states which
had been In rebellion been readmitted to
the union without limitation."
In the courso of his rcmnrks Allison ad
verted to tho work done by Morton on the
financial legislation of his time, particularly

LONDON, .March 24. (Now York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tho money
market lo still In an unsettled condition and
Is likely to Vcmaln so until tho cud of tho
quarter, when dividends and other payments
will be made. Tho Hank of England's
prompt releaso of tho excess of tho war loan
appropriation money enables tho market to
llquldato a considerable part of Its Indebt
edness. Anticipating easier conditions, blllB to ar
Tlvo next week havo been down to 3&, but
on Friday tho .tono wan slightly harder;
3 11-16 was tho rato for threo and four
months nnd S for six months' bills.
During 'tho week tho markot reduced the
Indebtedness to bankB $40,000,000. This nat
urally Improved the outlook In South Africa
and has affeoted tho stock market, but tho
volumo of business Is still only slightly In
creased. Governmont securities under tho lead of
tho khakl loan displayed exceptional
strength. Foreign Btocks Improved, on tho
whole, Rraztllans receiving exceptional sup
port. South Africans, while moving up
ward, are still nlugglsh. The mcst active
market has been for Amorlcnn railroads,
buying on Thursday coming from all quar
tern, sending prices up rapidly. This move
ment Is probably duo to tho belief that tho
passage of the currency net provision for
tho maintenance of the gold standard secures
American prosperity for many yearn
Tho Statist says on this point: "America
during tho recent depression accumulated a
great deal of capital and groatly doveloped
Industrial resources. This growth In tho
country's manufactures and mineral produc

It will bo remembored that six months

she Is beautiful, created a good-sized sen

'fashion Jewels for her dog. Among others
was a completo ruby sot sot collar mado
of four rottu of largo rubles arranged clcaoly

Do you know what happens to tho humnn
system when the kidneys becomo clogged?
They nro unable to throw out tho Impurities
from tho blood, and become Infected with

tho poison all through tho system nnd If not
checked, death follows. The kidneys are tho
sewers of the human system.

iB. J. Cornish und John L. Webster ad
dressed tho regular weekly meeting of tho
Patriotic lcaguo Saturday night. Mr. Cor
nish directed his remarks to a discussion
of tho genernl principles of tho American
government and especially tho relation of
the republican party to Hicro principles.
Mr. Webster directed tho platform adopted
by tho Nebraska fuslonlsts nt their state
convention.
Mr. Cornish spoko of a criticism ho had
heard mado recently by a man who hud
lived in Cnnnda on the 'political condition
of tho United States. Ho asserted that in
Canada there wero no political upheavals
and no financial and commercial disturb
ances mich as nro experienced in America
during presidential campaigns. Ily com
parison, however, .Mr. Cornish stated, tho
United States Is nwny head of Canada In
material prosperity and In tho progress nnd
energy of her people. "I tiollevc In our
syHtem ot presidential elections," ho de
clared. "Every person haa opportunity to
discuss great public questions nnd problems j
i , . p.., ..... i ... . i
or xuuen unpen iuo euui'tuiuuui lu.iiuivn
arising thorcfrom develop men and charac
ter." Desplto the criticisms mado concern
ing tho United States, Mr. Cornish called
attention to tho fact that people who havo
migrated to this country from foreign shorcn
aro always exceedingly glad to return to
tho United Stated after they huvo gone to
their natlvo land for a visit.
Discussing tho fusion platform adopted nt
Lincoln Mr. Wobster called attention to its
reaffirmation of tho Chicago platform.
"They aro clinging 'to n doctrine." ho said,
"that ,tho nconlo of tho United States re
pudiated at tho last election. At that
time, after going through n campaign of
education lasting for several monthn, tho
pcoplo went to tho polls and expressed their
opinion of this samo platform by defeating
it ovorwhelmlngly." Mr. Webster dovoted
a considerable sharo of his time to n dis
cussion of tho Philippine question.
