The new constitution for the republic of
Ecuador Is far superior to the one that fell
under the revolution of last year. It pro
vides for ndmlnlstratlvo economics , for the
extension of popular education , for the
enlargement of the liberty of the press ,
for the better regulation of guff rage and
elections , and for mniiy other things that
glvo promise of ndvantaga lo the country.
When General Alfaro s-larted the revolution
the government of Ecuador was perhaps
more oppressive and obdtructlvo that any
other In South America ; but , In case the
president shall act In conformity with the
new constitution. Ecuador will hereafter
have an excellent government. During the
year , In which General , nloy AUiro served
aa the revolutionary executive , ho made It
manifest that lie Is possessed of a sound
judgment , and furnished reason for believ
ing that he will administer the duties of the
offlco of constitutional president for the

unsonmoN BY BACON.
Mr. Bacon , democrat of Georgia , presentee :
the following joint resolution :
"The United States deprecates war and
dcnlrcs the maintenance of peace and friend
ship with all the world , and that this desire
l not limited to any one nation , but extends
to all the nations of the earth , whether the
same be great or small , strong or weak.
"Resolved , further , That to the end that
these relations of peace and amity now
happily existing between them and all na
tions may be perpetually preserved and that
wars may be discouraged , and as far as
practicable bo mode impossible , the United
States favors the practice and principle of
International arbitration for the settlement
of all questions between them and any other
nation which they may fall to adjust by
treaty or diplomatic negotiation.
"Resolved , further. That the United States
docs hereby avow It as Its future policy
and Intention whenever there shall arise
any question In difference between It and
any other nation which It may fall to adJust -
Just by treaty or diplomatic negotiations
that It shall and will , so far as It can con
sistently with the national honor and es
tablished national policies , agree with such
other nations to submit such other question
In difference to the arbitrament and flna
decision of an International court of arbi
tration. Such courts will In future , as in
the past , bo constituted by agreement be
tween parties consenting thereto , with
special reference and adaptation to the par
ticular question In difference and to tlio
conditions then existing.
"Resolved , further. That the United States
hereby Invlte'i all civilized nations to nrikp
corresponding nnd reciprocal declarations to
the end that wars may cease and to the end
that a universal reign of peace may be In
augurated and perpetually maintained. "
Mr. Bacon spoke briefly on the resolution
saying that a declaration by congress , which
Is the war making power , would exert far
greater Influence toward peace and against
war than anv treaty. He expressed hope
that a favorable report would be speedily
made by the committee on foreign relations
and that congress would make the declara
tions stated In the resolutions. The resolu
tions were referred to the committee on
foreign relations.
ALLEN OFFERS A RESOLUTION.
Mr. Allen , populist of Nebraska , offered
the following concurrent resolution :
"Resolved , That n master's , marshal's , or
any other Judicial or executive sale of the
properties of the Union Pacific and Kansas
Pacific , or either of them , without additional
legislation by congress would not be bind
ing on the government of the United States
or preclude It of any legal or equitable right
therein now possessed , unless such sale
should bo subsequently ratified by con
gressional action. "
The resolution went over without debate.
The debate on the bill for an International
monetary conference was then resumed , and
Mr. Vllas of Wisconsin ppoko on It. Ho
characterized the bill as vicious and mis
leading. It was wholly Illusory , perhaps de
ceitful , In the promises It held out and was
fundamental acknowledgement of the
theory of the Bryan campaign. Mr. Vllas re
ferred sarcastically to these "pretty plays"
of international conferences. Three of thorn
had proven failures and the American people
were tired of "International farces. "
"Ot course If the United States shall con-
tlnuo to bo li spired by that sort of states
manship , " continued Mr. Vllas. "which will
trv to keep an Intelligent people from , both-
ortng politicians in their pursuit In peace
by putting them off with the expectation
of splendid results to coma In the sweet
bye and bye , from n mlllenlal concord of
nations in financial affairs , why just so long
polite , courteous and sympathizing politic-
land In Europe will gravely consent to light
council fire and have a 'big talk' with
the United States. It Is for nations as for
Indians , a rule of politeness. "
The conference would doubtless 'bring ' to
gether many bright financiers who would lis
ten and blink like owls , and , after dinners ,
receptions nnd social festivities the con
ference would close without action.
"Tho people of the United States have the
right to expect such legislation as will give
them a sound currency. If that object shall
bo , traded oft for the pain of favored classes
sacrificed to cowardice , woo to them who
Bhall bo guilty of It. "

cairn to satisfy thee who wore favorable to

Mr. Allen of Nebraska , while ridiculing
the bill , nnd declaring that the conference
was doomed lo bo n contemptible farco. said
he would not scok to defeat It , IIo referred
to .Mr. Wolcon'a trip to Kuropo and his fall
me , tlus far , to get any ono to confer with
him.
Mr , Carter of Montana spoke of the recent
political contest In which Mr. ilcKlnlcy
represented the Idea ot an International
conference , while Mr. Ilryan denounced the
plan , Mr. McKlnlcy was elected and ndw
this .measure was presented , a step In the
execution of the conference plan. The bill
was carefully designed to uecuro the largest
possible results , and Mr. Carter appealed to
Mr. Cameron not to embarrass the well con
sldcrcd bill by urging his amendment. It
the com In K administration failed to secure
satisfactory results then It would be demon
Urated Hint such n conference was futile.
Hut In making the effort he would he left
free to direct his own course.
The Nlciragilan canal bill was taken up and
Mr. Morgan asked that the vote be taken
nt G p. m. , on Tuesday next , to which Mr.
Turple objected. Mr. Morgan then advised
the Ecnatora that he would call up tbo canal
bill on Monday.
ATTITUDE OP JONHS.
The debate on the monetary conference
bill was then resumed. In the course ot
tlio debate Mr. Jones of Arkansas made n
statement ot big attitude , which , In view
of hh position as chairman of the democratic
national committee , attracted some atten
tion. Ho said he believed In allowing the
friends ot the 1)111 to shape It In their own
way , but believing It would fall. And yet
there were many earnest friends ot sliver
wlm believed It would sncccsd. The last clecJ
tlon had shown that the sentiment was.al-
moit universal for bimetallism , the only
division being as to the method of bringing
It about. If It came through an Interna
tional agreement he would accept It gladly ,
but would oppose any amendment not ap
proved by republican senators , ns ho desired
to make them fully responsible for this move
ment.
Mr. Hoar gave the results ot his observa
tion ! ! in Huropo last summer , showing the
tendency toward bimetallism. : lie had
talked with M. BouiKcau , author of the bi
metallic resolution In the French assembly ,
which secured the written endorsement of
3G7 out of 400 members. M. Mellnc , the
Krench premier , had declared that when
othrr nations wanted bimetallism Kroner
would not be long behind. In London be had
an agreeable talk with Mr. Ilalfotir , whose
championship of bimetallism bad been main-
tallied against the views of Mr. Gladstone
and Sir William Vcrnon Harcourt. He
said he had refrained from repenting the
views stated by Mr. Balfour , although at a
dinner party In London n number of eminent
men had assured him that the views of Mr.
Balfour were shared by a largo part , If not
a majority of the English people.
Mr. Hoar read a letter from Germany stat-
that great nations were steadily advancing
to bimetallism. It was coming and coming
to stay. Mr. Hoar denied that the east was
assailing the west declaring that the east
recognized that the power of the nation
like the star of the empire was slowlyi mov
ing westward. The sections were Indls-
soiubly linked and their interests Identical.
Mr. Whlto ot California declared that
while tbo bill would prove abortive , yet its
republican friends should bo left untrammeled -
meled to make the effort they doslrod.
Mr. Allison of Iowa urged that the be
lievers In stable money felt It wise to see
whether or not other commercial nations
would unite with us In bringing the money
metals Into closer relations and thus test
whether the metals could circulate on an
agreed ratio ! sldo by side. Ho rezcnted the
Jeers of Mr. Vllas on the failure of past
conferences and asserted that each confer
ence had materially advanced the concurrent
use of gold nnd silver.
GORMAN'S IDEAS.
Mr. Gorman felt that tbo country was to
bo congratulated at the unanimity of senti
ment for this earnest and honest effort to
ward an international conference. The
American people favored bimetallism and
would not much longer submit to methods
which did not bring definite results in that
direction. Being In power , the republicans
were entitled to fair treatment , and ho said
that there should be no obstruction to the
policy of the republican party unless It became
cameimrely partisan.
Mr. Palmer of Illinois and Mr. Hawley
of Connecticut were seeking recognition
when the time for the vote arrived.
The first vote was on the Cannon substi
tute , making action by the president im-
poratlvo within ninety days from March 4.
Mr. Chandler moved to table the substitute ,
which on motion on a roll cell prevailed
yeas , 41 ; nays , 8. These voting In the nega
tive wore : Allen , Bate , Butler , Cannon ,
Clark , Pefter. Pcttlgrow and Iloach. The
amendment of Mr. Bacon , adding a now sec
tion distinctly authorizing the president to
call 'the ' conference , was agreed to. The
bill thus amended was put on Ha final pas

call was followed with keen interest. It
resulted : Yeas , 46 ; nays , 4 , as follows :

WASHINGTON , Jan ! ' 29. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The selection ofLyman J. Gage for
the Treasury portfolio has been received with
. .
the warmest of expressions from leading men
In public life In Washington , nor nro the
congratulations confined to republicans , but
democrats and oven populists unite In com'
mending the sterling good sense of the presi
dent-elect to choose a man for this most
tc3ponslblo position who would not have to
"learn his trade1' ' when he assumed the re-
spouslbllltUs. It Is Interesting In this con
ticctlon to state that Mr. Ilotcwatcr brought
the first authentic news to Washington that
a western man would bo chosen for the trcas-
ury , and that In his opinion Mr. Gage was the
coming man. Not since the days of Me-
Culloch has the treasury been filled by n
man who had any great training for the
place. Lyman J. Gage , however , has made
a nami ! for himself In the great business
world and has special fitness for the place
to which ho has been chosen by Major Me-
Klnlcy. The Idea that McKlnlcy's Is to be a
business , administration seems to havu some
foundation. The defeat of Fred Dubols
.
was received with every manifestation of de
light by republicans In congress , even some
of | the gold democrats uniting In congratu
lation over his humiliation , Politicians tan-
not forgive Utlbnls for his course In the
last campaign. Little or nothing Is known
ol Dubols' successor. Senator Shoup of
Idaho stated that the nominee was a good
cltlren of his state , hut undoubtedly never
expected that eenntorlnl lightning would
strike him. It Is thought the senator-elect
from Idaho will unite with the republicans
for the passage of a protective measure. In
this connection It la authoritatively stated
that Senator John 1' . Jones of Nevada hab
tent word to Major McKlnlcy that ho will be
with the republicans on tariff matters , but
would not pledge himself to be with that
party upon the question of reorganization of
the senate.
tlhi Itcprosontatlvo Gamble of South Dakota
has been assured by Speaker Ucod that ho
would bo given recognition for his bill for
the relief of settlers on the Sioux reservation.
Under , the treaty the price of land was
fixed nt $1.25 per acre for the first three
, .
years , , 75 cents for the next two years and
50 cents thereafter. No right was given set
tlers to commute , but the department hold
that In case settlers did commute they would
bo obliged to pay at the above rates , nnd In
addition $1.25 per aero under the old home
stead law. Gamble's bill Is designed to re
lieve the settlers In North and South Dakota
and Nebraska from the operation of this
ruling of the Interior jlepartment.
MONEY FOR SOUTH DAKOTA.
The Indian appropriation bill , which has
gene to the senate , carries $200,000 more for
Indian schools , buildings , etc. , so far as
South ' Dakota Is concerned , than was appro
priated last year. All.told the hill carries
In the neighborhoodot , , $2,000,000 for Indians

whole total represented in the bill. Ne

schools.

iv ) . led by Mr. Barrett. The latter was
particularly Bevero In his criticisms , charg
ing that a stock Jobbing operation was ba-
liiml the measure. This drew a reply from
Mr. Powers , In which he charged that Bos
ton was the homo of railroad wreckers , and
with keen satire , ridiculed the Massachu
setts member , and continued that perhaps ho
was "Interested" In his opposition. Mr.
Barrett , In responding , was very vicious , not
only denying absolutely any Interest In tha
bill , but scoring Mr. Powers , who , ho raid ,
was on the supreme hooch of Vermont whan L
Hie Central railroad of that state was G.
"wrecked under Ita dqcree. " He was not
called to order , but , Mr , Orout of Vermont , to
.wico protested agqjns t ( ha attack on the
udlclary of his state.
The report was rejectpd by an overwhelm- ant
ng majority 71 to It and conferees were alry
nstrurtpd to Insist , on house amendments. son
Just before adjournment .Mr. Hardy , who K
was refused unanimous consent to continue
political speech h.p was making , declared
would retaliate by pjjjcctinfj to"every re
incst for unanimous consent for the remain A ;
of the session. "

CONFERENCE IEJ''OIIT | CALLED UP.
called up Immediately mftcr the reading of at "
Journal. One of the provision * rf the
vport which was cumbatcd was that pro his
viding for an Issuu of stock by the now join
company to the amount of funded debt un alj
paid at the time of foreclosure , and limit duty
It lo flOO.000.000 , With regard to ilia Inwli
IIOUBO amendment requiring that aa a con am
dition precedent to reorganization the pur cai
chasers should relinquish In writing all tro
claims to lands crnnled to the Atlantic nnd his
Pacific road and unearned July 0 , 18SO , li'd
v.hlch Iho conferees abandoned. Mr. Pow rot
said that the question as to the far- Ap
feltnro of land grants was now before the Lli
supreme court. If the court declared they th-
ttcre not forfeited ho argued that the mort v.-h
gagees were entitled to tbeso lands. tec
Mr. Terry of Arkansas opposed the re (
port. The IIOUBO had provldad that the new fie
corporation should assume all the debts Juty
legally charged against the old corporation , &
. Lacey of Inwu demanded that the pro
vision for the forfeiture of the unearned
lauds bo retained In the bill.
Mr. Harris of Alabama , ono ol the con ntt
ferees , advocated thu adoption of the ru
\ port and Insisted that a first Hen should not
Inol made subordinate by legislation to any
other obligation ot whatever kind ,
Mr. llatictt of Massachusetts secured the
floor. < Ho declared ho desired to discuss this
report as a stock Jobbing operation. Ho
asserted ' no railroad In the country had such
a disgraceful history as this one. Ilcforo
closing he severely condemned the great
power gl\cn by the rules to conferees which ,
be said , enabled them to bring In proposi
tions endorsed by neither house nor senate.
He said It was a parody on parliamentary
practice.
Mr. Cook nt Illinois , In opposing the re
port , was iTdleltoiis that the house should
Insist on the nmi.lmcnt forfeiting Iho un
earned lands of the road. The amount of
land which would bo forfeited , ho said , would
aggregate -It.lii.l.cno acres.
Mr. Powers denied that the properly had
been sold. Ho said ( hero- was a. notice of
a meeting of the bondholders In New York
today to consider such a proposition.
Mr. Harrett Insisted tint the fact that an
agreement bad been reached for the sjlo
of the road was true. Tlio Amsterdam
bondholders , holding ficven-elfihths of the
bonds , had already authorized the sate.
PERSONAL. -
After aomo further remarks In favor ot
the report Mr. Poweia took Ibe floor to close
the | debate. He appealed to members not
lo bo taken/ / oft thMr feet by charges ( if ras- J
callty made by the gentleman from Massa
chusetts ( Barrett ) . The latter , he said , was
probably reprencnllng omo of tlioso who
were Interested In the affairs of this com
pany. If any Massachusetts men Interested
wore Involved they wore not Involved In the
direction ot public good. Huston was the
plnco where the railroads were wiockcd
and It was a dirty bird which befouled Its
own nest. Massachusetts , ho weft on lionl-
cally , was a great state. It had furnished
many great men. They had passed away uml
wo were left today to bask In the { .uiidhlno
of the gentleman from Massachusetts ( llar-
rott ) and learn righteousness at his 1'cot.
Ho ( Harrett ) had come to conxro&a to blos
som and bloom , but his destiny had been
teal wither and waste his beauty on the desert
air.
air.Mr.
Mr. n.irrett was very much aroused
Mr. Powers' ildlculo and Inmmdocn , and the
moinnnt the Vermont member took his scat
bo was on hi ? feet. It was ovldont from
his opening words that he did not Intend to
usj a foil. After Indignantly denying that
he was In any way Interested In the opposi
tion to the pending measure or bad communi
cated with any one on thu subject except
his colleague ( Mr. Moody ) and the gentle
man from Vermont himself , ho said menac
ingly : "The gentleman charges me with
being Interested ; before I have concluded 1
shall draw a parallel which I think ho will
understand. "
IIo defied any one to show that he had any
further Interest in the matter. Ho said
ho was not surprised that the gentleman
from Vermont hid talked about his being
interested when he remembered the recent
debate on the Pacific funding bill , of which
the gentleman had had charge. On that
occasion grave statements were made that
the bill did not protect the Interests of the
government. He resented the Imputation
that Massachusetts men were engaged in the
business of wrecking rnilioads and highly
eulogized them for their enterprise and pub
lic spirit.
" " he continued. "I
"I nm a young man ,
came bore with no reputation beyond service
In the legislature of my state , but the gentle
man from Vermont came here after a long
term of service on the supreme court ot his
state. What was the record of that court ?
Ask any of the shareholders of the Central
railroad of Vermont , who wore robbed by the
decrees of that court , and then let the gen
tleman from Vermont talk to me of Massa
chusetts wrecking railroads. "
GllOUT DEFENDS VERMONT.
Mr. Grout , the colleague of Mr. Powers , at
tempted to stay the torrent of Mr. Darrett's
wrath and submitted that this "war between
the states" should not go on. He then
raised the point ot order that it was out of
order to attack the Judiciary of a state , but
the speaker overruled the point.
Mr. Harrett , proceeding , said the .wreck of
the Central railroad of Vermont , when that
railroad was in the hands ot the supreme
court of that state as receiver , was the most
complete in railroad history. H was a
stench in the nostrils , of civilization , and
he defied any man to dispute It.
"I dispute It , " cried Mr. Grout , who stated
rather sarcastically that the Judges of the
supreme court of Vermont were elected nnd
If their decision had stunk in the nostrils
the judges would not have been re-elected.
He said Mr. Barrett's statements were re
markable and expressed the opinion that It
was not proper for a member to Impute (
dishonest motives to a judicial tribunal.
No heed was paid to Mr. Grout and Mr.
Barrett received a round of applause when
ho concluded his remarks.
Mr. Powers , the subject of the attack , sat 1 <
.silent throughout the remarks of the Mas
sachusetts member and made no response.
The house then , by a vote ot 71 to 143 ,
rejected the report of the conference and
directed the house conferees to insist on the1 Cl
house amendments. Instructions were also Fl
given to the conferees to Insist on an
amendment making the now corporation
liable for all the debta of the old coi. . . > any
existing twelve months prior to the ap
pointment of the receiver. The remainder
the day was spent In the discussion of the
agricultural appropriation bill. At D o'clock Cl
the hoiiBo took a recess until 8 o'clock , the
evening session to be devoted to private
pension legislation. th
At the night Fes Ion ot the house nineteen dlr
private pension bills were favorably con of
sidered In committee of the whole. On motion
Jai
tion of Mr. Andrews ot Nebraska the names
members were alphabetically called , each tin
member being allowed to designate one bill Co
bo acted upon , departing from the custom wa
taking bills as they came In order on the IItin
calendar. Mr. Hrdman gave notice that tin
hereafter It would bo necessary to have n Un
quorum present Friday evenings before the pn

WASHINGTON , Jan. 20. An outline of
.he ( plans of the Chinese government In the
llrec'Ion of reconstruction and replacement

lapanese during the late war baa reached
he Navy department through a report from
Commander F. M. Barber , retired , who
vas invited to address the Chinese Tsung-
I-Yaraen or Imperial council last fall upon
he feasibility of securing ships In the
Jnitsd States. Ho was Informed that China
iroposcs to reconstruct Its navy and bs-
oino ) u first-class naval power in ten years.
The bay of Shan Tow , on the south Bldo ot
Shan ; Tung promontory , is to be thoroughly
Iredged and fortified for a gieat naval
larbor , and the arsenal at Fee Chow is to
enlarged and Improved under French en-
lneers so as to be capable of constructing
nodern vessels ot war of all types. There
a new arsenal In progress ot construe-
Ion on the Shan Tung promontory. Nine
rcsscls have already been ordered from
Jurope. Two of tlieso are unannori" ! cruisers
4,300 tons and twenty-four knots speed ,
rom Armstrong In England. The time of
onstructlon Is eighteen months. Three
iriuorcd cruisers of 3,500 ton-j and twenty-two
mots speed ftoin the Vule'an works in Gcr-
nany , time of construction eighteen months ;
mil four torpedo dcsttoyers of 200 tons and
hlrty-two knots speed from the Shlchau
voiks at Eiblng , Germany , time of construct
ion thirteen months.
The officer presented a strong argument to
Yamea to show that It would ho good
lollcy for China to buy some of i\r new
lavy from the United States. He showed
hat the rcaeona for this worn , In the first
dace , political , as exhibited In the Impor-
ant services rendered to China by the
Jnlted States during the late war ; second ,

'Uablllty of using the same kind of ships ;

States being toward the nso of powerful but
Ight draft coast defense chips able to moot
'How well you look'Yes , ' she Dalfl , 1
never felt so well in my life. ' She la a
woman of 43. 'And now , ' she said , 'I want lo
glvo you a llttlo advice. I have been almost
at death's door with liver trouble. After the
lector had done nil that he could for me
I told him not to come again. I showed
'
him n bottle of Palnc's celery compound and
told him I was going to glvo that a fair
trial. As a result I am strong and well. '
"I sent right over to the drug store and
got a bottle ot Palnc's celery compound , and
when I had taken two bottles the soreness
had left my stomach and my side felt much
better. After I bad taken four bottles my
sldo was much stronger , and I was In better
spirits and felt as though I might live and
not bo In such misery. Working pcoplo
nowadays work the vitality all out every
week , and all I ask IB to be able to earn
the money I have to every week.
"Pablo's celrryi compound has enabled mete
to do this , and has done mo more good than
all the doctors put together.
"Why , my nervous sj'stcm Is so entirely
strengthened that I feel like a now being ,
and what Is more , I look the good the medi

celery compound a fair trial , and If It
docs not do It , then they might as wecl die.
I hive recommended It to several and It has
helped In every case. I have a great deal to
worry me , and a dope of the compound gives
mo quiet and sleep and then I can work. If
any ono wishes to write me they can do so. "
Why should a sick person do anything c'so
but try a bottle ot Palnc's celery compound ?
