WASHINGTON. March 7. Without deter
mining sny quctlon of policy In regard to
the Santo Domingo treaty, the senate de
cided today that the treaty phould be re
ported a soon as possible from the com
mittee on foreign relation and the entire
question fought out In executive session.
This was the sentiment of the foreign rela
tions committee aa well us the senateand
In two es.lon of the committee the pro
ceedings were with a view to reporting
the treaty tomorrow If posnlble.
The amendments offered In the commit
tee were confined to a reduction of an al
leged urplunago of words. They were of- f
fered verbally and taken down by a ntn g
rapher. They are to be printed and consid
ered when the committee meets tomorrow.
By a tacit understanding the policy In
volved In the treaty was not taken up by
the committee and It was understood that
the action In submitting amendments In
this manner did not commit any senator to
the support of the treaty. The program
u merely to facilitate action and remove
all chance of It being made a party ques
tion In the committee.
The prompt nctlou of the foreign relittons
committee undoubtedly will rcFult In a
much earlier decision In the Sfiinte. Nearly
every sf-nator who discussed the tteaty t
day cxprest-ed n desire that I lie measure
be kept from becoming n party question.
To prevent this Hrntnr Iu"-nn offered to
withdraw hi resolution concerning the
protocol of nn agreement entered into lie
tween the rnltfd Stites In January, 1!03.
In reference to (lie Santo PoniliiK" Improve
ment company's claim and modify it. Winn
he again offers It the resolution will le
general In character and ask thiit the lor
elgn relations committee Inquire and re
port whether th executive had tne au
thority to make up agreement by which the
T'nlted States take charge of the customs
of another country.
, The rlplit ol" the t'nitod States to enter
Into an agreement with nriother country
for tlienollection of a claim hjild by a
VnltrS fttntos 'clt'cn or eompuny -was con
ceded by fleimtor liacon, but ho contended
that the- executive' exceeded his authority
In entering Into;' an agreement to ' tako
charge of the customs affairs nf such gov
ernment without first submitting the ques
tion to the senate and receiving Its ap
proval. Senator Kpooner agreed with Sena
tor Bacon's, views ns lo the authority of the
president to make such an ngieement with
Banto Uomlngo. ' Several other senators ob
jected to the' form of the resolution, claim
ing that It went too far. Senator Riirnn
met this criticism by withdrawing the reso
lution with, a view to remodeling It and
offering, .It again. " ' '
The sentiment of the senate seemed to be
that an early report on the treaty should
be made by the committee on foreign re
lations. A suggestion to . this effect met
with favor and It was announced that It
had been agreed In the committee that a
report could be made within a few days,
probaMy tomorrow. It Is not the expecta
tion that the treaty will be reported from
the committee In a form approved by all
of the members, but It Is believed that
greater headway can be made by having
the discussion on the floor of the senate.
While most of the debate' today related to
the Bacon 'resolution, there was an Inci
dental exchange of views among the sen
ators concerning the treaty and the effect
of the Intervention of the United Btattes In
the affairs of the Dominican government
Including the right of the United Stattcs to
collect debts due to American citizens. On
the latter point there . was substantial
agreement, but there was a wide divergence
of opinion aa to the method.
Replying to the effort made by the United
States In the Interest of the Santo Domingo
Improvement company, Senator Piatt of
CWlBsctlcut advanced the Idea that the
United States officials engaged In collecting
the money for the payment of this debt
are the agents of the Dominican govern
ment. Senator Teller combatted this sug
gestion by pointing out that they were ap
pointed by the United Stutes, which, he
contended, robbed them of the most essen
tial feature of agency.
A new proposition was suggested by Sen
ator Morgan, which was that the United
States should make an Investigation of
the debta of Banto Domingo before entering
upon any plan for their payment. He
aid It would be dangerous for this country
to engage 4n the business of debt paying
until the obligations of Santo Domingo had
been Investigated and sifted. To enter upon
the payment of these debts without any
knowledge of their extent or whether they
were honest or fraudulent, he contended
would Involve the country In untold trouble
and controversy with creditors. He took
the position that the treaty should not be
ratified until such an Investigation had
been made. . .
Brief Session of Senate.
WASHINGTON, March T.-The senate to
day after an executive session lasting an
hour adjourned until tomorrow.
RHEUMATISM
Columbus, Ohio, May ao, 1903.
Six years ago I bad a severe attack of
Inflammatory Rheumatism. I was laid tip
in bed for six months, and the doctors I
had did me no good. They changed med
icines every week and nothing they pre
scribed seemed to help me. 1'inally I be
gan the use of S. S. S. My knee and elbow
joints were swollen terribly, and at one
time my joints were so swollen and pain
ful that 1 could not close them when
opened. I was so bad that I could not
move knee or fool. I was getting discour
8eii 7ou may b sure, when I began S. S
B., but as I saw it was helping me I contin
ued it, and to-day I am a sound well man
and have never had a return of the disease.
S. S. S. -purified my blood and cured me
of this severe case of Rheumatism after
everything else had failed. I have rec
commended it to others with good re
sults. R. H. Chapman.

NEBRASKA CORN AT ORLEANS
Severn! Million Bushels Cleared at
that Port During Month
of February.
New Orleans during the month of Feb
ruary, In addition: to 1,322,764 bushels of
corn loaded on board vessels at that port,
but not cleared, sent out for foreign ports
a total of 6,109,134 bushels of corn. A
large portion of this Is Nebraska corn.
The destruction of the Illinois Central
docks and elevators, while It has affected
business, has evidently ' not very much
crippled the shipping facilities. The port
of New Orleans during' February of 1904
cleared 1,220,516 bushels of corn, thus show,
lug an Increase In one year of 3,888,616 bush
els. The port lost on wheat and oats,
owing to the condition of the market. In
February, 1904, there was cleared 404,728
bushels of wheat, while this year no clear
ances have been made. In the corn ship
ping business this February Hamburg leads.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Law Books for City Attorney's Office Will
Be Purchased at Once.
JOHN GRANT'S CLAIM MAY BE SETTLED
Harry Cowdnroy Withdraws Ohjee
tlon Which Tied l"p Payment and
Amount la Kow Referred to
Finance Committee.
Nothing was done by the city council
last night towards filling the vacancy
from the Seventh ward caused by the
death of R. W. Dyball. The subject was
not even mentioned. Business transacted
was mostly of a routine nature. Acting
Mayor Zimman's ordinance proposing to
have all contracts with public service cor
porations let by ordinance only was shelved
by the same vote as that expressed at
the committee session, except that Coun
cilman O'Brien was present and voted in
the r.egatlve.
At the request of City Attorney Breen
tWO was appropriated to buy books on
munlclpnl law and digests for the legal de
partment In order to form the nucleus
for a municipal law library. The attorney
explained that the hooks are necessary as
many of those he will ned the most are
not among his private library which he
has placed In the city hall.
Harry W. Cowduroy, In writing, with
drew his objections to the claim of. the
Nebraska Bltullthie company of 1840 for
the use of Its paving plant In 1903, when
the city repaired asphalt paving by day
labor through John Grant ns agent. The
protest caused the claim to be disallowed
and tied up In court. A resolution to In
sert the amount In the next appropriation
ordinance was referred to the finance com
mittee. The claim has been looked upon
with askance by a number of city officers,
because the understanding as to the use of
the plant Is not clear, not having been
placed In writing.
Claim for Broken Hydrant.
A bill of $99 from the Omaha Water com
pany for damages alleged to have been
Incurred by the breaking of a fire hydrant
at Twelfth and Howard streets by em
ployes of the sewer department was re
ferred to the city attorney. City Engineer
Roeewater stnted that the city employes
did not break the hydrant and that the
accident was caused by the defective ma
terial, the pipes bursting below the sur
face as the employes were turning off the
water which had been used In connection
with the ' Mercer-Klrkendall Are, further
that the claim Is an attempt to lead the
city Into a position of responsibility for
damage caused by the bursting hydrant.
The D. J. O'Brien Candv
pects to begin suit In a few days against
the water company and the city Jointly
to recover $1,800 damnges alleged to have
been done to stock In the basement, and
A. 1. Root, the printer. Is said also to
have a claim for damages.
In response to Councilman O'Brien's de
mand for Information the comptroller sent
In a statement of the cost of city hall
lighting for five years. The showing Is
as follows: 1900, $2,046; 1901, $2,065; 1902,
$2,654; 1903, $2,849; 1904, $3,000. This In
cludes the special lighting of the city hall
during the Ak-8ar-Beh festival.
Inspection on Sewer Work.
Councilman Back's resolution calling
upon the Board of Public Works for sewer
speclfli.it Ions for 1906 and a form of con
tract which will compel contractors to
keep at least fifteen men working at all
tlmea on each Job, waa lost after Council
man Hoye said it looked to him as though
the measure was drawn expressly to en
able contractors to avoid Inspection. Back
protested that this was not so, and alluded
to cases last year where a $5 day inspector
watched the toll of no more than two men
on sewer Jobs. City Engineer Rosewater
told how he had tried to prevent this sort
of thing iast year, but had failed because
the other members of the Board of Pub
lic Works and the council failed to back
him up.
City Attorney Breen gave an opinion that
the county treasurer has no right to retain
as fees due the county any charges for
collections of back taxes under the scaven
ger law or money derived -from tax sales in
this way. A resolution authorizes the city
treasurer to attempt to collect the $2,992
that has been withheld and In case of re
fusal by the county treasurer to begin pro
ceedings to collect the amount.
Personal Injury Claims Settled.
Personal Injury claims caused by defec
tive or Icy sidewalks of Charles Llnter,
who asked for $1,050, and Nettle Keehn,
were ordered settled for $175 and $100 re
spectively, upon the recommendation of the
city attorney.
A report from appraisers fixing a mini
mum price of $1,200 on the streets and al
leys In Wilcox addition, near the Krug
brewery, vacated for the C. W. Hull com
pany, was approved.
Two grading machines, with ten extra
blades and sixty sets of brooms for the
street sweeping machines, were ordered
purchased at the request of the Board of
Public Works.
By a 4 to 4 vote the council refused to
adopt a resolution appropriating $75 for a
new roll top desk for Chief of Police Dona
hue. The objectors thought the price too
much and O'Brien declared that a "desk
good enough for Teddy Roosevelt could be
bought for that price," adding that he had
eat for many years before a durable piece
of furniture costing but $18.

Mary Vanicek, who describes herself as a
Moravian woman, is suing Frank Vanicek
for divorce. She came to America laBt
April and on August 1, 1904, was married to

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.
It Is easy to keep well If we would only
observe each day a few simple rules of
health.
The all Important thing Is to keep the
stomach right, and to do this It Is not
necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or
bill of fare. Such pampering simply makes
a capricious appetite and a feeling that
certain favorite articles of food must be
avoided.
Prof. Welchold gives pretty good advice
on this subject; he says: "I am 68 years
old and have never had a serious Illness,
and at the same time my life has been
largely an Indoor one, but I early discov
ered that the way to keep healthy was to
keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran
crackers or dieting of any sort; on the con
trary I always eat what my appetite craves,
but dally for the past eight years I have
made It a practice to take one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
and I attribute my robust health for a man
of my age to the regular dally use .of
Stuart's Tablets.
My physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and were not a secret patent
medicine, but contained only the natural
digestive, peptones and diastase, and after
using them a few weeks I have never
ceased to thank him for his advice.
I honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals Is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health to the sick and ailing and
preserves health to the well and strong."
Men and women past fifty years of age
need a safe digestive after meals to In
sure a perfect digestion and to ward off
disease, and the safest, best known and
most widely used Is Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
They are found In every well regulated
household from Maine to California and In
Great Britain and Australia are rapidly
pushing their way into popular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, full slue packages at 60 cents, and for
a weak stomach a fifty cent package will
often do fifty dollars' worth of good.
