While accepting gradually the word and
expressions of sympathy which Russia has
received. as a result of the death of Vice
Admiral Makaroff and the Petropavlovslf'
disaster, the papers seemed specially Im
pressed with the sympathy shown by the
British press, several using the text to argue
on the opportuneness of the destruction In
favor of a RuMO-RrlMeh understanding.
Such a' rapprochement, the Novoatl be
lieves, could now be founded, not only

Progress They Will
Re Made.
WASHINGTON, April 20. The senate to
day listened to a set speech of almost two
hours' duration on the trusts by Mr. Dolll
ver and afterward completed consideration
of the sundry civil appropriation bill, again
outvoting- much time to the provisions for nn
extension of the cast front of the cnpttol
and for an additional office building for
the senate. The office building amendment
waa agreed to as reported from the com
mittee, but the extension paragraph was so
modified as practically to provide for plans
only, the appropriation being reduced to
175,000.
Mr. Hale, from the committee on appro
priations, reported the general deficiency
appropriation bill.
A bill donating 120 acres of land at
Leecher Island, Colo., to mark the site of
buttle of a party of fifty scouts and .about
l.oiio Indians which occurred In 1868, was
passed.
Mr.. Dubois introduced and tbe senate
passed without comment a resolution In
structlng the postmaster general to "ascer
tain as far as possible and to report to the
senate what, It any, postmasters in Idaho
are living In polygamy."
Mr. Dolllver then addressed the senate
on the trust question. He referred to the
attitude of the democratic party toward
the tariff, saying that for the first time in
our national history since 181 the policy
of protection stands approved, lt.a enemies
inemseives being the Judges, by the com
mon consent of the American people. He
defended republican policies from the
charge that they fostered trusts, and said:
There is onlv one sense In which the tiro
tectlve tariff can be held responsible for
the trusts, and that Is that without the
protective tariff there would have been
fewer industries to Combine and, therefore
fewer combinations.
He declared that the'effect of the aboli
tion of the tariff would be to turn our
markets and Industries over to other na
tions.
Dolllver oa Iho Tariff-
Mr. Dolllver referred to the president by
.name, saying that he wss the . worthy
leader of a greater cause and predicting
his election to the presidency on a platform
that would protect the Interests and con
serve the honor of the country. Mr. Dolll
ver In Closing said:
We approach this presidential campaign
united In the bonds of our historic faith.
We did not originate it, we Inherited It
from our fathers.
If changes sre required to bring the tariff
law of 1M7 Into a more perfect relation to
the Industrial progress of the American
people, we propose to make them ourselves,
whenever In our ludament the work ran
be undertaken without doing more harm
than good, but we shall not consent to any
change which surrenders tho rights of
American labor or the advantage which
every man who makes a bona fide Invest
ment of his money in the United States
ought to have over his competitors In other
lands.
We look forward with hone to the pro
gress of our commerce from the river to
the ends of the esrth, but we do not forget
that the statistics of our foreign trade have
brought the most encouragement to our
peODle In those exact cerlods when our
own producers have been most perfectly
guaraea against injurious approach or tne
outside world and that the law of 1897 for
the first time In our history has Yielded us
a fsvorable balance of our trad In manu
factured goods.
When , Mr. Dolllver concluded, the con
sideration of the sundry civil appropriation
bill was resumed, the immediate question
being the amendment fur an office and
coinlttee building for the senate.
Amendments Agreed To.
Mr. Stone and Mr. Stewart supported
the amendment and Mr. Newlands advo
cated a postponment of the entire question
until It could be investigated fay archi
tects. The amendment was agreed to- by
a .vote of 60 to 10.
The provision for an addition to the east
front of the copltol, Inserted by the huose
and amended by the senate oommlttes on
appropriation, waa discussed. Mr. . Allison
offered an amendment; which was adopted.
limiting the Immediate appropriation to
$78,000.
An amendment appropriating 171.000 as the
Share of the United States of tbe cost of
a building to be erected In Washington for
The Bureau of American Republics was
adopted. Mr. Bacon offered and the senate
accepted an amendment appropriating 130,-
000 for the erection In Washington of a
statue of Thomas Jefferson. He said ho
desired to have the provision inserted "as
an antidote to the provision for the status
of Frederick the Great," and he asked to
have the provision Inserted Immediately
after the paragraph relating to Frederick,
which waa done.
The sundry civil appropriation bill waa
then passed as amended.
The bill ratifying the agreement with tbe
Crow Indians for the cessation and sale of
a portion of their reservation In Montana
was passed. The pension appropriation bill
was laid before the senate, which then, at
1:30 p. m., adjourned.

half a dosen place and shortly before mid
night It became apparent that the whole
block south of East Wellington street from
the Queen's ' hbtel and the old Manning
residence, facing on Wellington street, was
doomed. The Gorduh-Mackay building, on
the northwest' corner of Bay and Front
streets, which has stood for seventy years,
made a fierce blase. The Copp-Clark build
ing and Warwick Bros, and Rutters was
destroyed at about the same time. The
heat was so great" and the smoke and
flying embers so thick that the firemen
were absolutely helpless and could not get
near enough to the fire to ' play a single
stream upon it To add to the terrifying
effect of the scene came a bombardment of
giant crackers and other Artworks stored
In the Copp-Clark building.
The fire next leaped across Front street
io the McPherson Bros', boot and shoe
warehouse and the adjoining buildings.
In forty-five .minutes the , flames had lev
elfcd every building between Front street
and' the Eeplanada, on the west side of
Bay street.
The customs house, a four-story stone
building, at the corner of Tonge and Front
streets, Was the barlsr . that stopped the
progress of the flames to the eastern end
it Front street. Tons of water were
thrown against the auTes of the customs
house. Tbat structure wss not seriously
damaged. Dynamite was used on several
small buildings'. '
Hundreds of streams' of water ' are still
being poured Into- Immense deposits Of
glowing embers, but the Tire has spent Its
force and all danger has passed.

PUNY CHILDREN.
' It Is a fact that quite a large percent
age of children born into this world are '
so unfortunate as to come of parents
whose physical condition is such that
the child gets but a poor start in lift,
and the result is that as the days and
weeks pass by the poor little one does
not seem to grovr in weight of strength,
but remains through no fault of its own
weak, debilitated and peevish, and cries
the greater part of the llnae,. thereby
giving misery and anxiety to its parents
and comfort to no one. . -. -
: Struggle as they may the parents find
Cwnselves unable to do more than keep
Ills in the child, and in their despera
tion they are willing to try any remedy
vt food which may be suggested to thern
by their neighbors or friends.
There is now being . introduced to
these parents a tew f, reparation which
has not as yet f riled to accomplish won
derful results in establishing- sound
physical conditions in sickly children
and one that is absolutely guaranteed to
give relief and make a permanent cure.
Many people have been benefitted by
this remedy since it was first put upon
the market in January, 1903, and bun
dreds of testimonials are in possession
cf The Milks' Emulsion Company of
Terre Haute, Ind., which you can se
cure by simply writing for them.
If you will buy a bottle ot this Milks'
Emulsion at your druggist's at a cost of
50 cents and it does not accomplish the
results claimed for it the druggist is
authorised to return the money to you.
