expected to Identify the body by examina
tion ot the mouth , having done dental work

ble , as the fire destroyed almost every
vestige of humanity. However , sufficient
evidence has been offered to unqueitlonably
make the Identification mire. Conductor

thorizing the Arkansas & Choctaw Railroad

Mr. Allen Introduced the following rcsolu *
tloa ;
That a committee of five senators , no
more than two of whom shall be members
of the same political party , shall be ap
pointed to make full Inquliy Into the con
duct of the late war between the United
States and Spain. Said committee shall
have plenary authority to Inqulte and report

commlssniy , quartermasters and medical

Oblcctlon wns made to Immediate consid

A bill granting to the city of Saglnaw ,
Mich. , the privilege- beautifying and using
s a public park such part of the postofflco
lopcrty as may be deemed unnecessary for
jtodlco use was passed.
In accordance with notice previously
Iven Mr. McLaurln ( dem , S. C. ) addressed
ho senate in support of the Vest resolu-
on declaring the policy of expansion to be
nconstltutlonal , rollowlng Is an abstract
f his address.
I inn satisfied that our action In the next
month will settle the question of expansion ,
'here nro at this time in the senate and
atlon at largo two well defined and dls-
Inct views , one a policy of expansion , In-
olvlng a new definition of our government
nd the inauguration ot a colonial systcir
.vlth . all the perplexing problems Incldcn
It. The other view opposes a policy o
mperlallsm and is based upon the govern
mental policy of the last century , and , In
; iy Judgment , is the only position that la
.n harmony with the constitution and the
iplrlt and genius of republican ingtltu-
lons.
Mr. McLaurln felt that ns a representative
f South Carolina he was peculiarly quali
fied to speak on the Incorporation of
mongrel and semi-barbarous population Into
iur body politic.
The experience of the south for the las' '
hlrty years with the negro race Is pregnan
vlth lessons of wisdom foi our guidance In
ho Philippines. It is passing strange tha
onntors who favored universal suffragi
ihould now advocate Imperialism. There is
a glaring Inconsistency In these- positions
f they r.re sincere In their views as to the
'hlllpplnes they should propose an amend
ment to the constitution which will pu
ho Inferior races In this country and the
nhabltants of the Philippines upcn an
quality as to their civil cod politlca
rlglitu , and thus forever settle the vcxei
race and suffrage questions in th'a coun
ry as well BB In the outlying territories.
How can they conslatently , justly , and ,
might add , constitutionally , advocate a
_ olley for outlying territories , embraclni
races co nearly kin to the negro , whicl
crB so radically from the policy adopte >
its to that race in the south ? There can
bo but cue answer to that question , and i
s that they substantially admit , In th
Ight of a third of a century's experience
: hat universal suffrage is n mctiumentn
failure and that the time has come for th
correction of this stuprnduous govcrnmenta
error.
Vindication of the South.
Universal suffrage In the south long elnc
degenerated Into a race question , and a
such led to the practical elimination of th
negro from politics a policy that Is toda
v.lsely advocated by the great leaders o
he race like Prof. Miller and Booker T
Waehlngton , end which In time , wlthou
outside Interference , under the guidance o
ho best thought of both races will leai
0 a just and mutually satisfactory settle
ment of the gravcet problems that hav
over confronted any people In modern
tines.
It Is Indeed comforting to hear some o
hope who In the past criticised us , now tha
the question la brought home , complete !
Justify our methods In pro\ldlng a schcm
of colonial government. The senator fron
Connecticut has most amply vindicated th
south , perhaps unintentionally , but wo than
him the more heartily for the complete an
nouncement of the dlvlno right of the Cau
caslan to govern the negro races.
Mr. McLaurtn then entered upon a con
stltuttonal discussion of the question pre
sented by the resolution , maintaining that
all of the rights tail powers of the federal
government are enumerated specifically In
the constitution and euch as were not thus
specifically defined did not exist.
I deny , therefore , that the United States
as u nation has a sovereign , Inherent right
and control outside of the grint of such
powers In the constitution. This Is not an
essential element et nationality so far as our
ration is concerned , although it may be in
England or Russia , where the nationality
and sovereignty Incident to it are not cre
ated and limited by a written constitution.
I do not , however , controvert the proposi
tion that the United States has the power
to acquire territory by conquest , purchase or
otherwise , and to govern the same under the
grant of power contained in the constitution.
1 do , however , denv the proposition that ter
ritory can be acquired and permanently held 1
on such by the United States , of course sub
ject to the exception of small tracts ac
quired for specific governmental purpose-i ,
like coaling stations , under the act of 1856.
I think Hawaii comes under the exception of
a military and commercial necessity.
I believe the time is not far off when our
flag will float over every foot of North Amer
ican soil , but It must come naturally and
peacefully , by the consent of the governed ,
not by the rude hand of war.
Mr. McLaurln occupied the attention of
the senate for an hour and ten minutes and
was accorded good attention by both senator *
and people in the galleries.
A bill was passed providing for the ad
justment of the swamp land grant to the
state of Wisconsin.
A bill for the relief of the Citizens bank
of Stuart , Holt county , Neb , was passed.
Mr. Davis of Minnesota withdrew a motloti
that the senate go Into executive session , In
order that Mr. Sullivan of Mississippi might
deliver his announced speech on the Nicar
agua canal bill , giving notice , however , that
he would renew his motion at the conclusion
of the speech.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. As part of the
ilan for the reduction of the military estab
lishment to a permanent basis the War
ilcpartment has selected a number of gen
eral volunteer officers who will bo honorably
discharged from the service of the United
States within a few days. Nineteen major
generals head the army list , but as not more
than two or three are unemployed , and
without actual commands , the reduction In
this grade will not be as extensive as was
at first contemplated.
It is understood that Major General
Wheeler Is not on the list to be discharged ,
perhaps for the reason that the officials of
the War department , even If they were dis
posed to recall his splendid war service , are
not Inclined to take any action that might
affect the status of General Wheeler pend
ing tbo decision of the house ot representa
tives of the Issue raised by Representative

The special committee appointed to attend

reported favorably and the report was
adopted. The visit Is to be made on ths

to population was passed without debate.
Proponed ItcprlMtrntton Law.
The question of registration of voters ,
which has been so freely discussed In the
state the past two years , has called out a
l which was Introduced by Wllmarth of
Beadle , and which , with slight modifica
tions , has been favorably reported to the
house by the Judiciary committee. It pro
vides for a list to be taken by the asses-
: ors of the state to be filed with the proper
officials , and a revision of this list by a
registration board on the fourth Tuesday
preceding the election , when any new names
of voters may bo added , and any who are
upon the list who have removed or are dis
qualified shall be stricken off. Such a bill Is
generally desired , and the only fight which
win be made upon It when It comes up for
dual passage , will be to strike out the portion
tion which applies It to every voting pre
cinct In the state , and only make It apply
to a precinct when the number of voteis ex
ceed a given number. It will bo urged that
the expense of registration In sparsely set
tled precincts will be too great and that
crooked voting In such precincts Is rare.
This Idea will probably prevail and the bill
passed only applying to large voting pro
ducts
A bill introluced by Bouck , In the senate ,
provides for a State Board of Auditors , to
consist of the governor , secretary of state
and attorney general , to audit the accounts
of the state treasurer and to ascertain the
descilptlon and amount of various funds
on hand and to make such examinations
without notice at least four times , a year.
The bill also provides for payment of Inter
est on dally balances of state funds In handset
otjonks on agreement with the treasurer
for the benefit of the state , the Interest paid
not to foe ICEB than 3 per cent.
A party named Tllleblne is hero In
the Interest of n measure to have the state
take charge of the 'threshing of all grain
In the state and make that work a portion

Congressman
For Thirty Years a Victim of
Chronic Catarrh.
Finds a Long-Sought Remedy at Last.
Hon. David Mecklson , of Napoleon , Ohio , Is a native of Scotland. Ho has served
four consecutive terms as mayor of his own town. He established the Mecklson bank
of Napoleon , Ohio , which Is well known In commercial circles. Ho was elected to the
Fifty-fifth Congress by a large majority , and Is the acknowledged reader of his party
In his eectlon of the State. He had been afflicted with catarrh for many years. Speak
ing of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy , In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman , Mr. Mcek-
ison writes as follows : "I have used several bottles of Pe-ru-na and feel greatly ben
efited thereby from my catarrh of the head , and feel encouraged to believe that its
continued use will fully eradicate a disease of thirty years' standing. " It Is no longer
a surmise that chronic catarrh can bo cured. If cases from fifteen to twenty-five
years' standing can be cured , that ought to settle the question as to the curability of
chronic catarrh. Pe-ru-na cures these cases. Thousands are cured every year. Send
for free book of testimonials.
Catarrh Nine Years ,
Mr. Peter Hattenberger , Porterflcld , WIs , .
writes to Dr. Hartman under the following
,
dates : "Aug. 1 , isao :
I have been suffering
with chronic catarrh
about nine years , and
it has now settled on
my lungs and I have
all the symptoms of
consumption. Dec. 18 ,
1SBO : I nm still follow
ing your advice and
nm netting along well.
Mr. Peter j-eb 12 1891 : I am
Hattenberger Btlfl , mprovlng , „
every way. The catarrh Is leaving my head
and throat. April 27 , 1891 : I am still using
your medicine. My health i& improving
right along , my appetite Is good , and I feel
better than I have In five or six years . Aug.
23 , 1891 : I am rid of the catarrh now , and
feel perfectly well and happy. "
Catarrh Fifteen Years ,
Mr. S. I. Nance , Roberson Fork , Tenn. ,
writes : "I will state that I am entirely well
of that dreadful dis
ease , catarrh. I was
afflicted with It for 15
years , and It was a
very aggravated case
for the last five years.
No ono can possibly
realize the value of
Pe-ru-na until he trl s
It for himself. It will
certainly cure the
worst of chronic
case Mp < g j N
catarrh. I had as bad
a case as I ever saw , I have taken seven
bottles of Pe-ru-na and every one was
worth $100 to me. I haven't the language
to express my gratefulness to you for your
kindness to me nnd the Interest you have
taken in my case. "
Catarrh Twenty Years ,
Mrs. M. M. King , Waterloo. N. C. , in
recent letter to Dr. Hartman , makes the
following statement :
'
Mrs' ' . M. M. King. ' haU n baJ cou h anl
running at the nose
all the time. I was advised to try Pe-ru-na
and I took four bottles. I nm now well ot'
the catarrh. I believe Pe-ru-na saved my
life. The doctors and all other medicine *
failed. I can recommend
Pe-ru-na to all
my friends. It is the best medicine In ths
world. You can use my name when ver you
please. "
Catarrh Twenty-five Years ,
Mr. John O. Atkinson , 71 Jcifcrson avenue ,
Trocport. 111. , eays : "My case of catarrh
was of 25 years' stand
ing , and at times I was
almost past going. I
commenced to UEO Po-
ru-na according to
your Instructions nnd
continued its use for
about a year , and It
has completely cured
me. I have to say that
your remedies do all
you claim for them ,
and even more. Ca-
"I vvaa afflicted for 20
years and did not
know what oiled me.
My hubband employed
three doctors , but they
did mo no good. I
I took different kinds of
k medicine , all to no of-
r feet. In 1895 a friend
told mo I had catarrh.
