Representative Bland's hopes of reporting a free coinage bill are considerably Interfered with by the contlued absence of Representative Allen , a member of the coinage committee. Mr. Al len la a free silver man , and If lie had been present at the committee meeting last Thursday It would have given Mr. Bland the margin of one vote ecessary to report the bill. But without him the committee was a tie , with prospects of remaining so. To meet the emergency Mr. Bland has se cured a letter from Mr. Allen stating that the latter desired to vote to report the bill. But this move has been offset by Rep resentatives Tracy and Harter , who have objections to all proxy voting. Thus the free coinage bill la at a standstill until Mr , Allen returns , and even the anti-silver men. In the event of another absentee , will probably postpone the reporting of the bill. Representative Tracey of New York- said today : "There are not five men in the entire house who want the silver fight re opened. " To InvcntlKuto Coxoy's Treatment. WASHINGTON , May 7.

Vf , AVIIcox , Alt Kxtjpct'to Sco Clovo- laiut'd 1'ollcy r.mlor e < l Itciuljr to Overthrow Dole. WASHINGTON , May' 1 I'robabty few members of congress realize just how strained the situation Is In Hawaii today and what exciting news wo arc llkoly to receive from there shortly after adjourn ment , If not earlier. A letter , dated April G , just received by C. C. Moreno from R. W. Wllcox of Honolulu puts the case In this way : "Every Hawaiian expects to learn ot the final decision of the Hawaiian question on the arrival ot the steamer Marlposa , which Is expected on the 12th. They look only for fair play on the part of the senate. They ask simply that the sonata will support Cleveland's policy for the restoration of the status quo ante the ICtli ot January , 1892 , when Stevens , the Jingo representative of the United States , overthrow the legiti mate government and established a mission ary oligarchy , .which Is a disgrace to the United States and a disgrace to modern civilization. The Hawallans are keeping the peace , notwithstanding the Insults they have received from the provisional govern ment , for they wish to show every regard and courtesy to President Cleveland and his policy. A bloody revolution will follow , however , If the senate falls In Its duty and throws contempt upon the honor , Integrity and Justice of the policy of the chief magis trate of tha United States towaid Hawaii. Whatever the senate may do , you may rest assured that I will do my duty to my coun try , and that very soon. ) "S. M. Damon , minister ot finance of the provisional government , has given his assurance - suranco to Samuel Parker that the provi sional government would retire la a body and surrender control of the kingdom to the queen as soon as It learns that the senate approves of President Cleveland's policy. The schema of the provisional government for Inducing the Hawallans to forswear their independence and forsake their queen turns out a complete failure. ) "The Chinese have organized as a body to secure the restoration of the queen in case the United States senate falls to do Justice. The Japanese have taken the same course. These , bear in mind , are all apart from the Hawallans themselves and from the white foreigners. The Hawallans are going to hold a mas's meeting next Monday to denounce the fraudulent constitutional convention and the mock republic set UD by the missionaries. " ALLEN WANTS TO KNOW WHY.

The animals that eat starchy lood are the hea\lost In the \\orld , as witness the elephant , the rhinoceros , the horse , the steer , etc. It Is well known that people who are too fat are alwavs advised by doctors not to cat starchy food. The reverse Is always truo. If you want to get fat cat starchy food. food.But digestion. That Is often the trouble. Anaomlcs and dyspeptics cannot properly dlgost starchy food. It causes pain , eruc tations and distress. By eating starchy food that has been artificially digested , you can overcome this trouble. Paskola Is such a food. The specialists who first prepared Paskola made It ot starch because they knew that starch Is the only food that fattens. They made It of fruit because fruit Is naturally healthy , and because the fruit ot which Paskola Is prepared contains ferments which help to digest other food. They thought Paskola would bo a good food for thin people , but they MUle thought It would bo such a wonderful success as It has become. What It does for ono person always makes ten more buy It. It cures dyspepsia. If you have the slightest doubt of this read what follows : PORTSMOUTH. Va. , March 7 , 1891. The Pro-Digested Food Co. , 30 Reado St. , Now York. Gentlemen : t have for more than three years been afflicted with a very weak stomach , the most distressing symptom of which was a dreadful nausea atter eating. In many cases I lost my meals entirely , es pecially breakfast , as my stomach was weaker In the mornings than at other times. I have had a great many doctors of different cities prescribe for me , but none of them gave me any permanent re lief. They all said I was suffering from indigestion. They would give mo pepsin and a tonic to build up my debilitated system , but I did not experience any ma terial benefit from any of them. I became thin , very thin. In fact I was extremely emaciated. A physician recom mended the use of the "Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil , ' but my stomach was BO very weak that It seemed to aggravate the nausea and I could not continue it. In fact , nothing did mo much good until I began the use of Paskola. Now my appetite is splendid , my food does me good. I Imvc gained in flesh and have not suffered that dreadful nausea after eating one single time 'since the very first dobo of the food I ever took. I really cannot say too much In favor of It and I sincerely hope that any one suffering as I did may take this means ot relieving them selves , as it Is a speedy and certain cure. Yours very respectfully , MRS. A. D. MOSELEY , 220 High st. ELBERTON Ga. . April G , 1894. The Pro-Digested Food Co. , 30 Rcado St. , New York. Gentlemen : Your sample of Paskola came safely to hand. I did not give It to others but took it myself. Was from home while taking It and did not weigh , but It Is all you claim It to be. a flesh maker , aid In digesting other diets , and not only a food , but very pleasant to take. With thanks I am Most respectfully , D. P. BELL , M. D. Paskola may be obtained of any reputable druggist.
