Senator Davis it said to have tleelinetl
a piopnsition matin by Senator (Sol
ium), who is lfatlinr tin) opposition,
to set n tiny for taking a vote on the
trtaty. Many believe that the oppo
sition is imltiliiiiif' in n htj blnfT for the

clarinR tho policy of this govuiiiinctit
to bo tho same toward tliu Philippines
as toward Cuba merely to keep t lie m
under a military povcrnmeni until
they are cnpahlo of maintaining a
stable government of their own. Wliilo
many of tho strongest supporters of
tho treaty and of tho administiation
believe that it will be tho policy of tho
administration to allow tho Filipinos
tho fullest extent of self government
thfit they show themselves capable of
even tnabsoluto independence they
do not regard it as good policy to bind
this government in advance; therefoic,
there is little probability that such a
resolution will pass tho senate, and
none whatover that it could get
through the house. Tho treaty will
either bo ratiiied or theio will bean
extra session to ratify it.
Tho senate passed the amonded Mor
gan Nicaiaugua canal bill Satin day
afternoon, by a voto of J8 to 0. If the
leaders of tho house were so inclined
this bill coultl easily be passed, but tho
chauces seem to bo that an entirely
now bill will bet epoi ted to tho house
which would moan no canal legislation
at this session.
Tho framors of tho river and harbor
bill, which has been lopoited to the
houso, aro adepts in tho division of
public "pork " Thirty odd states will
sbaro in tho twelve and u half millions
appropriated by tho bill; consequently
votes will not bo lacking.
For tho first tinio this session tho
houso had what the old timers call a
"field day." It was a sort of running
discussion, which, although nominally
upon a bill allowing a ship-building
firm to suo in tho court of claims for
additional pay, it claims to bo entitled
to on contracts with tho government,
it really embraces about everything in
sight, including tho war, the embalmed
beef contioveisy, tho Philippines, the
treaty of peace, anil somo spicy per
sonalities. The ro wero fivo gentlemen
who puitioipatcd, Giosvenor, of Ohio;
Simpson, of Kunsas; Cat mack, of Ten
nessee; Ruiloy, of Texas, and Lewis, of
Washington, but tho star parts wero
played by tho first ami last named.
While tho discussion was going on
memhois of tho houso seemed to enjoy
tho hits made, regardless of who mailo
them, but as partisanship figured large
ly, they afterwards divided on political
lines in expressing opinions as to who
pot tho best of it. Tho speech of Lewis
was, however, a genuino surpriso to
tho house, and caused more than one
man who had been previously indiffer
ent to express regret that ho will be
lost to tho houso after March 4th.
Gen. Grosvenor has for many yeais
been regarded as ono of the most dan
gerous men in congress to tackle in a
running debate. That a man serving
his first torm coultl oven hold his own
in a scrap with him is considered to
mat kablo by old members. Lewis cor
taiuly did that.
Senator Perkins has announced his
intention to obey the insti notions of
tliu California legislatuto ami vote for
the ratification of tliu tteaty of peace,
because he believes nine-tenths of tho
people of his statu wish him to du so,
wliilo Senator White says ho will re
fuse to obey the instructions of the leg
islatuie, because a majority of its
memhcr-i am his political opponents,
and because he does not lecogui.o tliu

ishment will depend entirely upon the
president. A vol diet of guilty can ies

but the president may change tho pun

much public indignation for General
Eagan to hope to escape punishment,
however friendly tho secretary of war
and tho president may fuel towards

La Grippe Successfully Treated.
"1 have just iceovered from tho sec
ond attack of lagiippe this year," says
Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of tho
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In tho latter
case I used Chamberlains Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed n littloover two
days against ten tilths for the former
attack. Tho second attack I am satis
fied would have been tqually as bad as
tho first but for thu use of this lemctly

after being 'stiuck' with it, while in tho
first enso I wns ablo to attcntl to busi

Ballot Law to Be Changed.
Senato (ilo No. 1, by Pi out of Gage, to
prevent tbo namo of a candidate from
appealing on the ballot more than
once, was discussed freely by tho com
mittee of tho wh )lo on last Tuesday
and finally recommended for passage
Fusionists thought the bill was to pre
vont fusion, so they fought it hard.
Tho bill makes no change in the pres
ent form of the ballot, but it prevents
a candidate from having his name ap
pear in inoro than one column on tho
ticket. Several republican senators
expressed dissatisfaction with tho
blanket ballot.
Drink GrakvO.
aftor you have concluded that you
ought not to drink coffee. It is not a
medicine but doctors order it, becauso
it is healthful, invigorating and appe
tizing. It is made from puro grains,
has that rich seal brown color and
tastes liko tho finest grades of coffee
and costs about ono fourth as much.
Children thrivo on it becauso it is a
genuine food drink containing nothing
but nourishment. 15 an 25c at grocers.

There is enough wear and tear on the soldier
without the discomforts that come from having to use
a strong laundry soap. Common brown soaps, when
constantly used for washing the person, are extremely
irritating. Ivory soap is the ideal soap for the soldier,
suitable for oil purposes, for the kitchen utensils, for
washing clothes, and for the bath.
Ivory Soap is not easily lost, forit floats.

No Appropriation for the Exposition.
By a unanimous voto of all members
present tho house committee on ways
and means Tuesday decided tn lay on
tho table tho lesolution for government
recognition of tho Greater American
exposition. Mr. Meioei, who Intro
duced the resolution, spoke in favor of
its adoption, and .Judge Strode was
recognized in opposition. Tho latter
said Nebraska hail given loyal support
and patronage to tho trans-Mississippi
exposition nnd nil her citizens felt
proud of its success, even though ninny
of her business men had suffered pe
cuniary loss on its account nnd they
now felt that self preservation demand
ed their untiring efToita to prevent an
other exposition being hold no soon
after that of last jear. Ho said it was
a duty ho owed to himself and to his
constituents to oppose in nil ways pos
sible any form of government recog
nition of a continued exposition, nnd
ho earnestly appealed to tho members
of tho committee to voto against tho
resolution. Ho then went on to state
theiensons why it would damngo nil
kinds of business enterprise outHido of
Omaha. Tho people attending, ho
said, would spend their monoy in tho
exposition city, and tho department
stores, street car companies, hotels nnd
restaurant men nnd liquor doalers
wero tho principal factors in tho
scheme for the continuation of tho ex
position, as they wero tho principal
gainers thereby. After hearing soveral
petitions from various Nebraska towns
against tho exposition tho coniniittco
wont into execoutive session, and after
a shot t consultation a voto was taken
resulting in indefinitely tabling tho
bill for government help.
