The Tellej~nnboI«-Mantle- Tan non-Carter Combine Llkcljr to Be Strengthened by Cndlcal 611m Wen ' om Colorado, Ctah and Other State*, and Be Able to Block the TarlfL Concord, N. H., June 29.—United States Senator GalHnger said yester day: ‘-I fear for Republican control of the Senate. The full senate now numbers ninety members, and we shall need forty-six for a majority, though, inasmuch as the existing vacancy in Kentucky will continue until 189'J, we can get along during the next con gress with forty-five. We have now forty-four senators who are nominally Republicans, but of these, five—Sen ators Teller, Dubois, Carter, Mantle and Cannon—refused to act with us in the passage of the Dingley emergency tariff last winter,and 1 suppose we must now add to them Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota, because he left the St. Louis conventiou with other Breeders. This reduces us to thirty-eight struightout Rcpublicansjwho are for protection as against protection yoked with free silver, and we shall need seven more to enable us to pass the revenue bill, which the country de mands. Some of our gainsi are already made, as in Maryland and Ohio, and we shall elect In New York, Illinois and Wisconsin. This will give us forty-three, or two short of a - major ity. Among our danger spots we must include North Carolina Sena tor Pritchard’s seat is likely to be lost, because he was first chosen by a fusion movement, which probably will be hard to effect again. In Uta'* also, there is danger of losing senator Brown, who refused to act with the sliver men in deadlocking the Dingley bill, and who nowbas been confronted with an iBSue in his fight for re-elec tion, which will either defeat or cause him to coalesce with Senator Cannon in a policy of opposition. In Colorado Senator Wolcott >s in similar danger, as he has been subject to veuomous criticism because he would not go so far as Senator Teller in his devotion to tho white metal. Add to this the not altogether remote chance of los ing a Republican Senator in North Dakota and California, and the claims of the Democrat's that we cannot elect in either -Kansas or Illinois, and the outlook is not rosy. I must admit that I cannot now satisfactorily out-' line the method by which we shall be able to hold the Senate for a protciy tive tariff without a free silver rider.” FILIBUSTER SHIPS SEIZED. ?»• Noted Uujtan Yeiielf Kao Down by a Ke venue Cutter.

A reporter of the WAve having heard of the great faith Mr. and Mrs. I. O. Brace, of Odell, Nebraska, have in the curative properties of Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, de- ' termined to see the parties in person, and ascertain the truth of the reports. With that purpose in view a drive was taken to their fine farm a few miles west of town, where Mrs. Brace was found busily engaged in assisting her husband make wire fence. No doubt noticing our surprise, she apolo gized, saying "that the children were old enough to be of much help with the housework, and she thus had time to* assist her husband. "But is it possible that you have re covered so as to do work requiring the constant use of your arms, without, suffering?” asked the reporter. This question elicited the following, wonderful story: “I do not wonder that you are surprised, said Mrs. Brace, for as every one in this vicinity knows for several years I was .nearly crippled and suffered constantly from rheumatism.' When I first felt the at tack I got medicine from a local phy sician, but instead of getting better ■ X grew worse, until I suffered intense, agony, which no one who has not had the dread disease can understand. In hopes of relief, leading physicians in other towns were consulted, and they all agreed in pronouncing it a severe- , case of muscular rheumatism, and as their prescriptions were taken month after month without beneficial results, . they ceased to give . encouragement, . and said that I was gradually becoin- • lng paralyzed. “I had by that time become so crip pled that I had to give up all work,. and the only way I could carry my right arm was in an upright position. Any attempt to lower it caused ex cruciating pain. Constant suffering: caused general debility, and life seemed1, too great a burden to bear. It is saidl a drowning man will catch at a straw,, and so it was in my case, as I read a. testimonial in a newspaper I happened! to pick up, of a case similar to mine, which had been cured by Pink Pills for Pale People pnd I determined 16 give them a trial, _ L _ ^ "I admit my faith was weak, fi* ft had always been prejudiced against : so-called patent medicines, but by the* time I had taken three boxes,the relief was so apparent that I determined to» continue their use.
