M'GANN'S MOTION.
Propoies a General Inquiry Into the Cause
of Industrial Depression.
WASHINGTON , May 7. Mr. McGann of
Illinois , as chairman of the house committee
on labor , has framed a terse joint resolu
tion proposing the appointment of a com
mittee of three senators and three members
of the house to Inquire into the cause ot the
present Industrial depression and idleness
and to report wlthlm thirty days both on
causes and probable remedies. The resolu
tion will be laid before the house on Wednes
day. The resolution is to make the Inquiry
on broad lines , so that the effects of the
tariff uncertainty , silver legislation , etc. ,
will all bo considered without reference to
the polltlcos Involved.
Mr. McGann says he thinks It can bo done
and that it might do a positive good Irre
spective of the , political theories which
suffer.
lilnnil Struck a hniiR.
WASHINGTON , May 7. 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. "

mittee of five senators to investigate the al
leged clubbing by the Washington police
of the leaders of the Commonweal when
the army tried to break Into the capital
grounds last Tuesday. The resolution went

CURIOUS LIGHT ON HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS
Americans In the InlainU , According to II.
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. "

It Is a Question of Food and
Nothing Else.
AND BASILY UNDERSTOOD
A Clear and .Simple Kip'nimtlnn of tlio
iutlro Subject Drawn from
Nature.
If wo want to learn about this wo must
study nature. Let us look at the lower
animals. The pig contains moro fat In
proportion to Its weight than any other
animal. What food docs It cat ? Starchy
food. H can digest food. 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.

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.
