Committee.
WASHINGTON' , Feb. ! . During the ehort
open session of the senate today two phases
of the Cuban iueitlon | wcro adverted to
briefly. The amendment of Mr. Allen to thu
diplomatic and consular appropriation bill
recognizing th'6 belligerency ot the Cuban
ItiHurgontrt was reported adversely by thu
foreign relations committeenot. ! . as Mr. Mor
gan explained , on the merits of the amend
ment , but because the committee did not
approve of UcHng such legislation to ap
propriation bills.
Mr. Morgan's resolution calling upon the
president for the reports o [ United Stiues
consuls In Cuba and for Information an to
whether any agent of the autonomous gov
ernment in Cuba had been accredited to thla
government and recognized by It was adopted
without dlreent.
A feature of the session was a. speech In
advocacy of the frco coinage ot standard
fillvor dollars by Mr. Allen of Nebraska. Dur
ing the remainder of the afternoon the een-
ate was In executive session.
A largo basket of rcses cud lilies
adorned the desk of Mr. Turloy
( Tenn. ) at the opening of the senate
today. The flowers , which were particularly
lieautlful , were the gift of Washington
frli nds of Senator Turley , presented In honor
of his recent i > U < ctlon. Itev. Dr. Heed , presi
dent of Dickinson eollcse , Carlisle , Pa. , de
livered the Invocation.

mlnlslrrcd.
Mr. Morgan ( Ala. ) reported adversely from
the committee on foreign relations an
anirn'liuc'tit to the diplomatic and consular
appropriation 'bill recognizing the belliger
ency ot the Cuban Insurgents. In connec
tion with the report i.Mr. Morgan said a word
ot explanation w a necessary. It had not
occurred during his membership of the com
mlttco that It had been necessary to place
upon an appropriation bill a matter of the
kind suggested by the proposed amendment.
The report makes no suggestion as to the
merits of the preposition contained In the
.until Imcnt. It docs , however , regard -this as
an Inopportune manner of taking up the
subject.
Mr. Harris ( pop. , Kan. ) Introduced o reso
lution with reference to the latest phase of
the Kansas 1'acllle Dale. He said in con
nection with the resolution that the reason
for its presentation at this tlmo was that
the attorney general had Informed him less
than a week ago that he proposed to re
deem the first mortgage bonJs of the Kansas
I'a'-lllc and have a receiver appointed tor
the road.
"We were surprise.- ] yesterday , " , nld Mr.
Harris , "to Icurn that the attorney general
hud decided to abandon his expressed plan
of red-'i-mlns the first mortgage bonds ot

Mr. Chandler then objected to present
consideration und the resolution went over
until tomorrow.
Mr. Morgan In calling u-p his resolution
requesting the president to furnish the
senate with certain Information relative to
Cuba , said It wju hLi dcslro simply to learn
what the situation In Cuba Is at the present
time.
"It 'la Important , " said he , "that before
any action \a \ taken by the senate upon < hla
matter , that wo know whether thn govern

and whether an agent has como hero to

WASHINGTON , Feb. 12. The annual re
port of the civil service commission for th
focal year ended Juno 30 , 1897 , has been pre
scntcd to the president. It beglna with a
statement lo show that after au experience
of nearly fifteen years the hopes of tiic ad
vacates of the civil service Hiw have beci
largely realized. In practice , the law has
proved to ba a constantly exerted and cf
fectlve force in the direction of economy.
Considering the few changes In the service
under the merit system and the wholesale
removals under the patronage system , the
economy and efficiency of the one stand In
striking contrast to the extravagance and In
efficiency of the other.
Slnco 188.1 ( the yt r of the organization of
the commission ) the unclassified position :
which have been subject to political ccntro
have Increased In number 37 per cent aiu
in cast 43 per cent , wfillo the classified posi
tions subject to examinations have rotnatnci
at a standstill. The large cxtmislcm ot clvl
service rules In May. 1896 , to include positions
hitherto unclassified , the report s.ye , brought
to light a number of unnecessary positions.
Quite a number of these have been abjllshei !
as a measure of economy.
The w'jolo number ot applicants for posi
tions examined during the year was -19,115 , ot
whom 25,593 passed. The number of ap
pointments wts1,136. . The commission , the
teport nayfl , hn.s been steadily malting Its
examinations more practical. Numerous com
plaints have been inido ot violation ot the
mien of the civil service In the Treasury de
partment , the Department of Justice and the
Interior department. In each case examina
tions have been made by representatives ot
the commission and such cases ns appeared
to be violations of the law were reported to
the department to which It belonged. In
each case the cominUalon has not yet re
ceived a reply.
Thu report speaks highly of the promotion
system based on the efficiency record. This
has been especially cndoised In Hie Navy de
partment in the work In the yards. On the
ether hand the commission deprecates the
proposition of limited tenure of government
oflice , pointing out that It would not only
Impair the efficiency of the service , but open
the dooi for political Influence.

off southeast Capo St. Lawrence Island at
2 p. in. , 13th , where Ice was met. At G:40 :
a. m. , December 14 , Ice was making rapidly.
Captain Nome was ninety-six miles distant.
Concluding that the vessel would be frozen
In Ions before thi : cape could be reached ,
therefore turned and stpumed Kouthwaril
for Cnuo Vancouver , which was reached at
3 : . " > 0 p. in. , luth , too late to make a landing.
The relief party , Lieutenants Jarvls and
nertholf. Dr. Call and Jlr. Koltchoft with
their outfits and mails for St. Michael and
the no ; t'n , were landed on the Kith nlout Ilvp
miles from the village of Tunnuk , . Cape
Vancouver. Lieutenant Jarvls made ar-
ranpementa with the trader of the village
to ( julde and assist his party to St. Michael
to be reached In ten duyd. On account of
bad weather and running- Ice , the Hear
could not remain to see trio party started
overland. Sailed from Cape Vancouver at
S:40 : n. m. , 17th. Called at the Seal islands on
the 20th and 21st. All well there. Arrived
nt Unalaska. December 22. All well. The

Island.
Captata Shoemaker , chief of the revenue
cutter service , said that owiing to the ad
vanced season of the year the landing
of the expedition was affected at about the
time and place anticipated by him , and that
ho feeh that owing to the Indomitable- cour
age of Jarvls and llertholf , Ita succc&i is
practlc-ally assured. They probably reached
St. Michaels , he said , on December 2fi , a week
thereafter they probably reached the Teller
reindeer station on the north ehoroof Nor-
toca sound and are now well on the road to
I'olnt Hope by way of Kotzebu sound. From
that po'at they will take the coast line route
to I'olnt Harrow , making such arrangements

phase of the question.

fornia attempted to ascertain from Senator
DivU , in chargeof the treaty , whether
there would bo any early attempt to secure

vote for arrangement of pairs. Ho said
ho would be compelled to bo absent from
thn senate for the next three weeks and ex
pressed a dfslre to know something of the
plans for 'bringing ' the discussion to an end.
In reply Senator Davis simply said he
could not at present nay when the debits

WASHINGTON , Feb. 11. ( Special Tele-

from the supervising architect's ofllco for
labor and materials required to put In place
and complete the eight-day tower clock and
boll for1 tbo United States court house , cus
toms house and pcetofTlce at Omaha. Undci
the spoclflcations each .bidder la requested
to visit nnd examine the building and Include -
cludo in Ills proposal every item necessary
to the proper execution and completion of
the work. The specifications require that the
clock machinery must bo of the highest typo
of construction and have all the latent Im
provements , approved gravity escapement ,
compensation pendulum and automatic do-
vlco for turning on and lighting the gan
Jets behind the dials , which nro to bo four
In number , Uirce-elghths-lnoh glass ground
on 'both ' sides. The clock movement Is to bo
designed to strlko the hours nnd half hours.
The bell Is to weigh 2,000 pounds , must bo
hung In the belfry from a ton-Inch steel I
beam thirty-three pounds per foot and
braced with tlo rods. The boll la to be made
of the best quality ot bcllmctal and bidders
must state in their E-poclllcatlona the name
of the manufacturer of the bell proposed to

Gcorgo G. Tunncll of the Hurcau of Sta
tistics today submitted an additional report
to the secretary ot the treasury on lake
commerce. Ho states that the Duluth-Su-
perlor business grew almost without a set
back from 60,000 tons in 1880 to 2,128,751
tons In 1S93. For several years thereafter
tralllc fell off , owing to commercial depres
sion. The movement of coal through St.
Mary's Falls canal in recent years , ho says ,
has grown at a much more rapid rate than
the receipts at IJulutli a d Superior. Every
effort has been made by the coal dealers of
Chicago and Milwaukee on the ono hand and
DiiUitH and Superior on the other to secure
the trade of the northwest. The rates from
the lower lake ports are almost always less
to ports at the head of Lake Superior than
they arc to ports at the head of Lake Michi
gan. If a line be drawn from Kau Clalro
to LaCroroo across northwest Iowa to the
Missouri river and down this river to about
the center ot Nebraska all the territory
lying to the north and west on this line
would be supplied with hard coal from the
liead of Lake Superior.

Immediately given , but it was some time
before the position ot the blaze was ascer

Mconwhilo the passengers had learned of
the llr and for a time there was consterna

a suita-blo berth and as the terrible position
of the situation dawned upon the fortune-
seekers the excitement was intense. The of
ficers of the Oregon alone were cool and
went among the frightened passengers us-
surlng them that the fire would 'bo ' ex

crow 'was better enabled to work at the
bunkers.
The flro was at the 'bottom ot the coul and
it was necessary to put back to port. Tlio
steamer arrived at Its dock at D p. m. and
the work of unloading the coal commenced.
The tire was caused by spontaneous com
bustion. The damage is very slight and the
Oregon will sail again tomorrow morning.

SPAIN STANDS PAT
( Continued from First Page. )
wag a report ot his Interview with tha
Spanish minister ot foreign affairs , which
showed that no direct disclaimer had luen
made by Spain of that feature ot the do
Lomo letter which has been Interpreted to
indicate the Insincerity of the Spanish gov
ernment In the matter of autonomy nnd in
tbo negotiations for a commercial trenty.
Absence ot such a disclaimer is not en
tirely satisfactory to the president. Ac
cordingly , Minister WooJford has been Riven
further Instructions on the subject. With
out making any express demands for a dis
avowal , Minister Woodlord is required by
his new Instructions to impress upon the
Madrid authorities the Importance to all
parties concerned of some distinct repudia
tion of Senor do Lome's declaration , which
the president cannot believe correctly repre
sents the position ot the Spanish govern
ment. Mr , McKlnley believes that when
the Spanish minister of foreign affairs fully
appreciates the interpretation which has
bom put upon Senor do Lome's letter In
some quarters In the Unite-1 States he will
hasten to disavow It. Minister Woodtord
has been told In a positive way what the
president would like to have done , but ho
has not been told anything which would
justify him In making a demand for a dis
avowal. In other words , it la assumed that
ho will two delicate diplomacy to secure the
desired end , and It is believed another In
terview 'between ' Minister Woodford nnd the
minister of foreign affairs in Madrid will
end the whole trouble.
As far ns that feature of 'the ' do Lome let
ter crltlcUlug the president Is concerned ,
the InclJent Is closed. That was established
when the State department received Senor
Dubolso as charge d'affaires to succeed
Senor da Lome. The other phase of the
letter the president considers should very
properly be made the subject of further ne
gotiations In order that Spain should have
an opportunity to show that Senor do L/ome
falsely represented lt.i position when he
made the statements which he Jld.

on the highest authority that the real rea
son for sending the United States torpedo
boat Cushlng to Havana waa that the Span

mail sent to the battleship Maine la Havana
harbor , says the Washington correspondent
of theHerald. . This resulted In Captain
Slgsbee of the Maine semlfcig ix protest to
Washington with the suggestion that a regu
lar service be established between Key West
nnd Havana by means ot torpedo boats. On
the strength of this protest the Gushing
was dispatched to Havana. Although It has
been frequently reported that official mall
has been tampered with in the past. Secre
tary Laig said last night that he had re
ceived no reports from Captain Siqsbce eay-
ing that the Spcnlsh authorities had inter
fered with his letters in nny way.
"The dispatch ot the Cushlng to Havana , "
ho continued , "was In line with the depart
ment's action In sending the Maine on a
friendly visit to that port and the Mont

I expect it is now , or will bo soon , on its

NEW YORK , Feb. 14. A letter was re

Consul General Fltzhugh Leo In Havana ,
relative to the foundation of an orphan asy
lum In Cuba. General Leo said :
"I have considered the advisability of
renting a large and suitable building for
the purpcse of founding an orphan asylum ,
where the little starving children who have
no parents or relatives to watch over and
protect them , can be placed , and where they
will be fed and well cared for , and perhaps
later given some sort of education , I find
I can rent a most commodious establishment
with a largo bath and all conveniences , as
well as ground around It , which the children
can use for air and exercise. I would through
humane agents collect these little ones and
have them transferred to the establishment
where they could bo in charge of nurses and
other suitable attendants. "
The Christian Herald In reply cabled that
It would pay the rent of the proposed asylum
for a year , and furnish all supplies , and
guarantee to raise all other expenses for the
Institution.

of Mr. Field In the House of Commons today
as to whether the government Intended to
co-operato In promoting an international
conference to consider the currency question ,
Mr. Ualfour , first lord of the treasury and
government leader , said he was happy to say
the government would bo very glad to see
an International agreement regarding cur
rency , but that ho had nothing to add to the
Information already In the possession of the
bouse.
The house later discussed the amendment
of Jobn Lawson Walton , liberal member for
South Leeds , to the address In reply to the
speech from the thrccie , and raising tlio ques
tion of the government's Indian frontier
policy. Mr. Walton criticised It from a lib
eral standpoint , die-approving of the occupa
tion of Chltral as being the source of the
present troubles , and urging tbo govcrn-
me-nt not to tamper with the Independence
of tfio frontier tribes , \vho , ho said , were
"the natural bulwark of India. "
Lord George Hamilton , secretary of fctate
for India , replied. Ho said It was impos
sible to evacuate Chltral without impairing
tbo prestige of Great Britain and tbo tran
quillity of these tribes. The present troubles ,
he continued , proved that the occupation of
Chltral was welcome , and ho warmly repelled -
polled the opposition's charges that the gov
ernment had teen guilty of breach of faith

cupation.
Hlght Hon. Sir Harley Fowler , member

which had 'boon a costly blunder and the lib

thronterred the northwest frontier was a
"policy of aggressive militarism , "

SHANGHAI. Jan. 9. Authentic- reports
have reached here vt recent Oato from all
sections ot the Chinese empire , Indicating
that riot and attacks upon foreigners Is the
order of the tiny. The attacks twin to b ?
these of Isolated ruffians , rather than a con.
certeil action on the part of the iwpulacc.
lu one of the contra ! provinces , Hit 1'en ,
ft riot was Instigated 'by ' thn students ot the
military acidemy. Property was stolen and
the meniborri of several native churches
wcro scattered over the country. Seventeen
leaders ot the riots have lbe < m arrested nnd
are standing trial. A chapel ot the Wesleyan -
leya-n mlralon was dcstroved during the riot.
In the sarao 'province several Chinese
merchants were sot upon toy marauders , and
attsr a fierce fight the robbers carried away
the spoils consisting of 7,000 taclp , which the
merchants wcro currying In coin to a neigh
boring city.
From See Chow , In central China , comes
the authoritative Information that In thu
collection of rentals In and around See Chow
there has been a persistent refusal on the
part of the natives , nnd that an altercation
occurred in which a woman was killed and
others were Injured. The native magistrates
themselves when attempting to hear these
cases have been mobbed , pelted with mud
and compelled to Ilco from the court of Jus
tice.
tice.At
At Canton , from the Routli of China , where
most of the traveling Is by the rivers and
canals , steam launches and boats carrying
foreigners have been repeatedly held up by
bands of rulllans , and recently a European
woman missionary was brutally treated , her
boat being held up In the river. The men
overpowering her , coolies boarded It by force
nnd , robbing her of her money , left her In
a sorry plight.
From Formosa , Just off the coast of cen
tral China , authentic reports come that the
whole of the comitry 16 disturbed. Repeated
attacks by armed bands of robbers are being
reported day by day. Travel In the Interior
Is unsafe at the present time.
From the province of Chiicn , one ot Uie
nrovlnces nearest the highlands cf Thibet ,
authentic information comes of riots Insti
gated , lo-l onby - military students and of
the destruction of property.
In thp will-governed city of Shanghai In
the European section there are confirmed re
ports of insulting treatment of forelgneis
by Chinese. A prominent woman riding
upon a wheel , passing the'west gate , was In
sulted by a Chinaman , who spat in her face.
Chinese soldiers oven in Shanghai have
attempted to throw foreigners from their
carriages. Hoys in the streets are set by
older people to follow at tlio.heels of prom
inent European residents of the city , throwIng -
Ing mud and calling Indecent named ,
In view of the fact that the treaties are to
throw sections of Japan open to foreigners ,
there nro interesting reports of the 'IJuddhlst '
and Shinto priests assembled In ono of the
provinces to discuss the situation. They
have promulgated the following resolutions
and request Japanese to 'bo ' governed by
them :
First To cultivate feelings of abhorrence
of foreigners and to refuse on principle to
sell ur buy of them anything whatsoever.
Second To refuse to rent their houses or
lands to foreigners.
Third To refrain entirely from usingfor -

SAN CARLOS , Nicaragua , Jan. 23. ( Cor
respondence of the Associated Press. ) The
hydrographlc party under the command of
Lieutenant G. C. Hanus and the party of
civil engineers under charge of G. W. Brown ,
both belonging to the United States Nicara
gua Canal commission , arrived here Decem
ber 31. .
On January 7 tlio work of the survey "be "
gan In earnest. Mr. Drown began the meas
urement of a base , but found the country
so difilcult that ho had to abandon his first
line after having cut through wood ana
ewamp for more than a mile. A point was
reached where It was Impossible to set up a
transit. The men sunk to their armpits in
tbo mire.
The party had better luck with its next
effort and a line has been cut through the
forest for nearly three miles , which will af
ford a practicable base for the hydrographlc
party.
Much sympathy Is expressed for air.
Hrown , who , Just as success was In sight ,
was relieved to return to the United States
as a witness In the court-martial of Cap
tain Carter , U. S. A.
Lieutenant Hanus and his party have not
been Idle. There being' no base to work on ,
ono was assumed and work pushed with en
ergy. The regular ayslem of line was begun
January 15 and the total up to date is up
ward to SOO pea miles.
Lieutenant Hanus received a telegram from
Admiral Walker , telling him that thu Nicaraguan -
raguan gunboat " 1893" has been placed at
hh disposal for the running of the survey.
Mr. Hanus will bo away for ten days or
two weeks and about two weeks after his
return the work on the lake will bo finished.
The commissioners passed through here
on January 13 on their way to Rlvas and
the west coast.
The party determining the rainfall evap

will have to continue lt observations for at

A well selected text is half of the ser-

who is in earnest , and the result is sure
to he good. The text of this article is a
plain simple statement that proves itself
the reader's mind without
in own argu
ment. The text is " Good health is bet
tcr than great riches. "
Without health nothing really matters
very much. A hacking cough takes all
the beauty out of n landscape or n sunset.
Erysipelas or eczema will spoil the enjoy
ment of sprightly conversation , ofa beau
tiful concert , of a wonderful painting.
The biggest bank account in the world
won't pay n man for his health , but a
very small amount of money will make
him healthy and keep him healthy.
Most all bodily troubles start in the ;
digestive or respiratory organs. It is
here that improper living first makes an
opening for disease The development
differs ns constitutions nnd temperaments
differ. The causes nrc almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is shnpln
enough if you start right.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is a medicine for the whole body. It
works through the digestive organs oil
all the others.
It cures the first thing it comes to and
after that , the next. It puts health in
place of disease in the stomach , and from
the vantage ground thus gained , it
reaches every fiber of the body and drives
disease before it indigestion , liver
troubles , kidney complaint , biliousness ,
skin and scalp diseases , salt-rheum , tetter ,
eczema , and all the troubles caused by
