Considerable Progress Made on Agri
cultural Appropriation Bill Pollard
of Nebraska Leads Fight Against
Rmrt nlrlh..Hnn. .
Washington, May 2. Dy a vote or
153 to 58 the house decided to con
tinuo tho free distribution of garden
and flower seeds. Many of tho Items
in tho agricultural bill broadening the
Bcope of the bureau of chemistry and
Dr. Wiley's department were ellmin
atod on points of order, particularly j
those relating to tho adulteration of
food, condiments, drugs and bever- '
ages. Considerablo progress wan
mado on tho bill, after the freo seed
proposition waB out or tho way, and
tho bill will be completed today.
Pollard (Neb.) made the most form
al speech of the day, opposing free '
seeds and urging that tn place of free
seeds tho money be turned over to Ing, a quarter of a mile distant. Thero
promote tho work of experiment Bta- 5,000 of tho city's Inhabitants wero I
tlons in co-operation with tho farm- ( gathered, together with the famous '
ers. He devoted himself especially to choir, now divested of Its ecclesiastical
tho Interests of the orchardlsts or tho I garb, and the Zlon band and orches
country, pointing out that last year j trn. Thoso who listened to the words

trees in tho country, when tho produc
tion ought to have been five bushels
per tree. Tho reason, he Insisted, waa
that tho varlotiB tree pests arc ruin
ing tho crop. Tho experts of tho agri
cultural department know how to stop
these pests, but thoy have not facil
ities for popularizing their work and
making tho people understand their
methods. Pollard wanted these meth
ods taken to tho people and ho wanted
tho Boed money used for this purpose.
He spoko tho greater part of an hour.
When the vote on the seed question
was taken Mr. Tollard voted against
the seed people, and the southerners
in turn voted against his amendment
when they got tho chance, bo he was
hopelessly defeated.
Representative Hearst of New York,
although not in Washington, had pre
sented under his name In the house a
joint resolution for the repair of the
federal buildings In California dam
aged by tho earthquake and fire.
Tho amounts for the purposes men
tioned are said to bo the treasury de
partment's figures, and colncldo with
the figures in tho resolution intro
duced in tho oenato by Flint. Tho
resolution also directs the secretary
of war to replace tho quartermaster's
supplies and stores, tho signal corps
property and the medical and hospital
property Injured or destroyed.
Senator Daniel Discusses Rats Bill.
Washington, May 2. Tho proceed
ings In tho senate included an ex
tended discussion or the railroad rato
bill by Daniel, an explanation or tho
status or the appropriation for tho re
lief of tho earthquake sufferers of
California by Allison and a contro
versy among several senators as to
the propriety of adopting without re
ferrlng to a committee a resolution
tendering the thanks of congress to
General Horace Porter for his services
In rescuing the body or John Paul
Jones from Its long-lost resting place
in Paris. In tho last mentioned pro
ceeding Aldrlch opposed action by tho
senate In advance of committee con
sideration and succeeded in having
tho matter referred to tho committee
on foreign relations.
In IiIb rate speech, Daniel supported
tho right of congress to legislate so as
to fix rateB and to delegate Its power
to a commission. He opposed llalley's
non-suspenslou provision and Indi
cated indifferenco as to whether a
court review clause should bo Insert
ed. Ho did not conclude and will con
tlnuo today.

DOW IE ADDRESSES ZION.
Will Remain in Retirement Urrtll After
Court's Decision In Injunction Case.
Chicago, April 30. Standing un
steadily and with great effort before
an audlenco of 2,600 persons In Zlon
tabernacle, John Alexander Dowla
challenged his traducers, If any word
present, to rise to their feet and inaUu
their accusations before the wholo
congregation The followers of Vol
lva, tho now leader In Zlon City's af
fairs, however, were at that moment
attending a rival aeetlng, set for the
same hour, at tho Zlon college build-
- - . ....., ........... ... j
tho hundreds by tho electric cars and
railroad trains. Immediately In front
of the platform and In the choir loft
wero probably 150 of the faithful.

stalwart negro attendants from an
nnte-room up tho Btairs to tho plat
form and deposited upon his feet be
roro the elaborate prayer altar. Ho
was attired In an apostolic robo of
white and gold and purple. He deliv
ered his address and sermon seated
before tho altar. Only occasionally,
when aroused to an unusual pitch of
earnestness, did he rise to his feet.
Mrs. Dowlo, who has severed her alle
giance with the Vollva faction, sat In
a chair among Dowle's followers In
the congregation. Ho prefaced his ser
mon by a spirited denial of the
charges that have been brought
against him, in the course or which
he exhibited much or the fiery Impa
tlenco which marked his dlscouises in
times past.
Displaying great emotion, Dowle de
scribed the sorrow he felt upon receiv
ing tho news while in Mexico of the
revolt among his people.
Dowle made his first appearance in
the tabernacle at G:30 a. m., when ho
conducted a prayer and praise service.
About 100 wero In attendance. Vollva

hour also, which was largely attended.

ter of hl9 Injunction against Vollva
and others next Thursday.
GRAND JURY'S FINAL REPORT.
Falls to Investigate Political Contribu
tions by Insurance Officials.
New York, May 1. The grand jury
returned a presentment to Recorder,
Goff, "In which t declared that it had
failed to Investigate political contribu
tions by insurance otllclals becauso
District Attorney Jerome had advised
the jury not to do so. The jury stated
also that it had asked Mr. Jerome for
the evidence against the Insurance of
ficials and that he hnd opposed action
becauso he desired first to secure an
opinion from tho appellate division of
the bupieme court of this state on
the question whether bucIi political
contributions constituted larceny.
Such an opinion, Mr. Jerome had told
the jury, would bo given early In May I
and the cases then could be taken up
by a special grand jury, which ho had
asked for.
Justice Greenbaum, tho district at
torney informed tho Jury, had already
decided that tho contributions wero
larceny, but Mr. Jerome expressed his
doubts whether this ruling would bo
sustained by tho appellate division.
Mr. Jerome said it was in order to
secure such a ruling before Indicting
any of the Insurance ofllclals and at
taching to them an Indelible stain
that ho took the case against Georgo
w. Perkins direct to tho court Instead

TROOP8 PREVENT OUTBREAK.
Cavalry Oarges Mob6 In Paris and
Many Persons Are Wounded.
Paris, May 2. The night was quiet
throughout. Several bombs were dis
covered by tho police, but none was
exploded. A further attempt was also
made to derail the Tidal train proceed
ing to Sleppe. A heavy rail was
placed on the track near Rouen, but
contact with the wheels of the locomo
tive caused the obstacle to leave tho
track.
The long-dreaded May day failed to
bring the revolution which inflamma
tory Journnls predicted, but none th
less It brought scenes of extreme vio
lence. The labor districts, which
thousands of troops controlled with
difficulty, and even central portions
of Paris, have taken on the appear
ance of a siege, with regiments of In
fantry and cavalry camped about tho
Arc de Trlomphe, the Bourse, tho
Bank of France and the great railway
Elation, while military sentinels paced
before banks and private establish
ments. The main thoroughfares in
the residential portion of Paris re
main tranquil. In the west end, far
removed from tho riotous scenes, peo
ple were disposed to treat the events
In the labor quarters as harmless ef
fervescence. It was, however, much
more than that. Throughout the aft
ernoon dragoons, republican guards
and cuirassiers charged disorderly
masses, sweeping the Place de la Re
publlque and the broad Boulevard do
Magenta. Toward nightfall cavalry
charged with drawn swords and many
persons were wounded on both sides.
The manlfestants overturned omni
buses nnd threw up heavy barricades.
Over 1,000 arrebts were mr.de during
the day.

directed the curtailment of the move
ment of tho Twelfth cavalry as es
cort to Rev. Father Thomas Sherman,

! What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
