WASHINGTON , May 1. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The failure of Senator Teller ot
Colorado and Representative Sherman ot
Now York to attend the meeting of the con-
fcrenci ) committee put the Indian supply
depot matter over until Monday , Senator
Pettlgrcw taking this action after consulta
tion with his conferees. Thcro was an In
terested crowd around tbo committee room
on Indian affairs to Inllucnco the committee
If RUch might bo possible In the location of
the supply depot , bijt Senators Pcttlgrew and
Cookrcll thought It better to postpone con
sideration. Senator Allen was on hand to
explain Omaha's geographical situation and
rallioa'l facilities necessary to such a dis
tributing point , and had even gene so far
as to Invite W. H. .Alexander to bo present
_ In cane It was necessary to have a corrobora-
tlon of what ho might say In favor of the
Gate City. One thing la certain , there Ima
never been such u persistent light put up for
Omaha , and Its chances are about even for
winning out. Mercer * Is pursuing his tact
ful policy of making no antagonisms , but
' quietly rounding up hero and there associates
who are not committed to any ono place.
Senator Allen addressed the subcommittee
on finance , having in charge tbo tariff bill
. thin morning , preaching the gospel of pro
tection for Nebraska Interests. He argued
J for the Dlnglcy tariff on sugar plus three-
. quartets of 1 cent bounty , one-fourth to geoff

WHAT TO IJO. i
There Is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed , that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Hoot , the great kidney remedy , fulfills
every wish In relieving patu In tbo back ,
kidneys , llyor , bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. It corrects Inability
to hold urine and scalding pain In passing
It , or bad effects following use of liquor ,
wino or beer , and overcomes that unpleas
ant necessity ot being comnclllgd to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Hoot U soon realized. It stands tue
highest for its wonderful curro of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medicine

of 1 cent on dry chicory and 3 cents on the
prepared article. When the question of duty
came up on cattle Allen favored $1.50 on
calves , $3 on yearlings and 35 per cent ad
valorem on all cattle above that age. He
suggested 50 per cent ad valorem on gypsum
and 35 per cent ad valorem on flax. Tills la
understood to be even a higher rate thnn the
most ardent protectionist Interested In the
growth of flax for1 fibre- asks for the specific
duty , amounting to about 28 per cent. Gum
chicle , which Is used extensively In the man.
ufacturo of shewing gum , he asked to be
placed on the free list ; also fresh fish taken
In Canadian waters. Upon the question of
hides the senior senator from Nebraska
asked a specific duty of 1 % cents , showing
that the state produced 'upward of a million
hides annually , three-quarters coming from
South Omaha. He also committed himself
for 1 cent duty on lead In ore.
iDAILKY BACKS NELSON'S DILL , .
Representative 'Bailey will next Monday
morning move In the committee on rules , of
which ho Is a member , for a special order
' bill which
to take up Nelson's bankruptcy ,
recently passed the senate. If defeated In
committee , ho will endeavor to get a direct
expression la tM house. It Is believed that
there Is a friendly understanding In tills mat-
; tcr between Heed and ( Bailey. Even If
i llced refuses to let the matter come up , he
I will glvo IJalley an opportunity to make His
play to eel himself right In the eyes ot the
! cantankerous minority , by urging the enact
ment ot nonpartlsan legislation , for which
there Is n widespread and genuine demand.
It la thought If the matter be permitted to
como before the house. It will be In such
a .way as will allow of the amendment of the
i Nelson bill In any way a majorjty ot thj
house may desire. H must be remembered
that the majority for any bankruptcy bill
that may pass the house will tie made up
from at least two of three parties In the house
and possibly all three.

thcro are about forty of them In the build.
Ing. was asked for a bible , but no blhlo waste
to bo found In their large collection of public
documents , reference books , statutes and
other pamphlets needed In the business of
legislation. Senator Allen , howevsr , came
to the relief of the sorely distressed chairman
of the committee by fishing out from , an In
ner receptacle In his room an Oxford edition
of the bible , bound In flexible covers , which
showed no marka of any great usage , i-xcept
as a reference book , In conjunction with the

classified servlco In his olllce were laborers
and said ; "As applied to this office , which
is simply a great manufacturing plant , In
volving varied branches of skilled labor of
high grade , the civil service rules nre an
obstruction rather than an aid to efficiency
and economy. The civil servlco rules as
promulgated for enforcement hero should be
modified radically , suspended or repealed. "

WASHINGTON , May 1. The formidable
nature of the competition which our steel
makers are now offering toward the British
Bteel trade Is most strikingly eet out In an
article prepared ; by an expert for publication
in London nnd transmitted to the Department
of State by United States Consul Parker at
Birmingham. The expert shows that England
Is threatened In Us supremacy as the Iron
master by two conditions : First The ex
haustion of Us own orca and of the cheap
foreign orea It has been EO largely using , and ,
second , tbo rapid growth of American com
petition.
It Is this second factor that Is naturally
of absorbing Interest to Americans In tbo
estimation of Consul Parker. He directs spe
cial attention to the means that have en
abled our steal men to bring their ores GOO to
800 miles to the blast furnaces , carry tbo
finished product 500 milca from ths Interior
to tidewater at Now York and thence trans
port It a distance of 3,200 miles by sea and
compete easily with British homo made Bteel.
The expert believes that the most remark
able of these means Is the gigantic scale
upon which American Iron-making plants are
built and operated.
Commenting upon the British expert's
article , Consul Parker says ho Is continually
being asked by British .manufacturers
whether the American competition will last
nnd If so where they can buy the steel. The
shipments ot stppl so far made , he says , have
given general eatU faction " "As to quality. In
deed thcro has been a'etUari'He complaint that
" " which that It la
It la "too good , trnoans

customed to employ toi a given product.

dressed in becoming silk robes and made a
picturesque appearance as they were ushered
into the blue parlor , where the president was
awaiting them.
Yang Yu , the retiring minister , presented
his letter of recall. Ills remarks , aaldo from
the usual formal thanks and expressions ,
were as follows :
It will always , bo a matter of < leep grati
fication to mo to recall the fact that the
treatment of all ( mentions affecting the
mutual Intel ests of the two nations have
