IS NOT YET SECURE.
Canal Treaty MuBt Run Gauntlet
of Opposition.
President Itonftovolt Atiilnn Tim I. It I'iwiii
In 1'remint Form und Meimtor Moriruu'M
riKlit on It Wnrrlc the Chief
Kxrcutlve.
Washington, Feb. 2. An imnor-
nut conference wns held ut lie white
lonse Suttirtlity, the pur tic! pants be
ing the president, Secretary Hay and
Senator Cnlloin, chairman of the for
iign relations committee of the sen
ate. The subject under discussion
.vas the status of the Panama canal.
The situation with regard to the
treaty as it has developed in the sen
lie is giving the administration and
Is supporters grave concern. The
president is exceedingly anxious that
the treaty should be ratified at the
surliest, possible moment; yet the in
3ieations now are that serious ob
structions mn 3 be placed in the wy
af ratification.
Senator Morgan, chairman of the
committee on inter-oceanic canals,
takes the ground that the negotia
tions conducted by the state depart
ment with Mr. Iferran, representing
Colombia, are not valid, and holds
Unit ilr. J Terra n did not possess the
necessary authority to make a treaty
binding upon his country, and it is
understood that ho will use his ut
most efforts to defeat the treaty in
its present form. Such action, it is
ivell understood, will seriously delay
final action upon it, even if it should
not result in the defeat of its ratifica
tion. It is stated definitely that any
amendment to the treaty would im
peril Ihe entire canal project, as the.
government of Colombia might hesi
tate to accept amendments made to
it, particularly if they involve es
Bential details or principles.

THE HILLMON CASE.
The Celebrated Knninn Ininrnnca Cano
Sent Ilnek to tho Trlnl Court by

Washington, Feb. 3. The celebra
ted Kansas insurance case which
grew out of the alleged death of
John W. Illllmon in that state in 1871),
was to-day sent back to the. trial
court for the sixth trial. Hillmon's
life wns insured in the Connecticut
Mutual Insurance company for $35,
000 and when his death was reported
the pa3'ment of the policy was re
sisted on the ground that he entered
into a consiiirncy with others to dis
appear, have, the report circulated
that he was dead, then substitute
the corpse of another man and claim
payment of the polic3 Hillmon dis
appeared while traveling on tho
plains with a man named Jlrown, who
swore that he had been killedvby the
accidental discharge of a gun. The
ease has been in the courts ever
since. The circuit court of appeals
for the Eighth circuit at the last
hearing decided the case in favor of
the claim of the widow of the insured
man, but the superior court reversed
the opinion on the ground of error in
the trial. The opinion was delivered
b3' Justice Urown, Justices Urewer
and White dissenting.
MAY BE A GENERAL STRIKE.
Conductor find Trainmen on Wonlorn
Idnea Ask for n Twenty l'er Cent.
IncroiiBO,
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 3. The con
ductors and trainmen on the western
lines, among which is the Santa Fe,
are voting on a proposition for a gen
eral strike unless the railroads accede
to their demand for a readjustment
of the wage schedule. So far as can
be learned the sentiment appears to
be favorable to a strike, although
this is in a great part conjecture, as
the men keep their business pretty
elose' to themselves.
The roads have all refused to meet
the demand for a 20 per cent. in
crease, although quite a number linvo
offered to compromise on a smallei
percentage. Put the boards of ad
justment, both for the conductors
and trainmen, take the ground that
they have made a conservative re
quest in the first place, that their
demands are fair, and they will not
budge from 20 per cent. This is an
increase of 20 per cent, from the
schedule agreed on in 1892.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Ivifc out of doors nnd out of the games which they play and the enjo)'
hicnt which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten nnd strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts arc known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
be used bj fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be no carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, health' and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines arc not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them ouPy the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as 3'ou value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please
to remember, the full name of the Company
CALIFORNIA FIG SYR.UP CO.- is printed on
the front of ever' pack
age. In order to get its
beneficial effects it is al
ways neccssar' to buy
the genuine only.
