WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 Tho Pacific
cable bill was considered by the house com
mittee on commerce today nnd much prog
ress made, with, tho etxpoctaUon -hat the
final form of tho mcasuro would be secured
during tho day. As heretofore decided, tbe
bill of Mr. Sherman of New York, authoriz
ing tho postmaster general to contract with
an American cablo company to transmit
cable messages to Honolulu, tho Philippines,
Japan and other Pacific points, was tho bill
considered. The provision thnt the cablo
rhall be laid "from a suitable point on tbo
Paclflo coast" was changed to tbe specific
provision that It bo from n point nt or near
San Francisco.
Mr Corliss of Michigan secured the Inser
tion of a claiiho that tlto cable shall be of
American make nnd the cablo Bhlpa shall
fly the American flag. The provision as
agreed tn is na follows: "That tho cables
shall bo flrst-clat in material, construction,
equipment and operation and capable of
transmitting not less than, 130 letters per
minute. They shajl be of American manu-
facture and laid and maintained by ahlps .
flying (ho American (lag, provided, that If,
after tho advertisement, It appear to the
satisfaction of the postmaster general that ,
a cable of American manufacture cannot be ,
laid-within tbe period herein prescribed after
the award Is made, said table mny be secured
from foreign markets."
Another change fixed the time of complet
ing tho line' to Honolulu -nt January 1, 1902,
Instead of 1003, nnd the line to Manila and
Japan by July'l? 1903, fnstcad of 1901.

"In tho history of tbe world," ho said,
"no such blatant stiipldlty has masqueraded

If It stayed It would stay of Its own right."

Proceeding, he said the democrats had
Bought to turn everything, good or bad, to
political account; that U'had gone In "part
nership with the diseases In the camps and
had tried to pick up votes at every 'soldier's
funeral;" that It had magnified tho quarrels
of oHlccrs, magnified our Bcandals beforo the
world nnd had formed a treaty of peace with
tho Tagal leader through tho agency of tho
"Inimitable fortune teller from MUsourl
(Mr. Clark), who delighted tho houso with
his talcs of fallen empire."
Mr. Dolllver then said the tlmo had conio
for plain speaking.
"Tho other day I rode through the city of
Philadelphia nnd bought an evening paper
nnd nt tho head ot tho column, In type an
Inch long, was': 'McKlnley a Murderer,' nnd
I turned down tho column nnd found that n
gentleman, whoso name I cannot recall, had
denounced tho president as a murderer by
name nmld a universal applause of tho nntl
Impcrlaltstlc meeting on In Philadelphia, to
celebrato Washington's birthday that great
conference presided 'over by n dead man and
Its exercises conducted on tho floor by mad
men." (Laughter nnd npplause on repub
lican side.)
Mr. Dolllver then defended the president's
course In tho Philippines, read General Law
ton's letter charging that tho Insurrection
In tho Philippines was kept nllvo by the
agitntlon In this country nnd urged his
countrymen, north and south, without rc-
imrrl tn Ihnlr nnllflrnl nnrtv. "to Illlt a StOD
t0 tno unscrupulous agitation which for
nCilriy two yenrs has filled tho hearts of our
boys with despair and tbe hearts ot their
enemies with cqnfld.enco and good cheer,"
lilts of Wit uml Satire.
"Tho failure of the democratic attack on
the front," he went ou, "has not discouraged
them. After retiring from tho front attacks
they havo ordered a movement by the flank
nnd havo brought up n battery ot condemned
cannon and opened on the republican posi
tion with a emoothboro Interpretation of law.
(Laughter on tho republican side.) Some
timid nnd pious fouls on this sldo of tho
house have entertained the notion that after
having driven these people from tho front,
tho American neoplo are going to bo scared
out of tho Philippine Islands by pounding
their commercial prospects to death with
a copy of tho constitution of. the United
States -annotated In the hand of John C.
Calhoun." (Applaitso ou tho republican
sldo.)
Dolllver then, nmfd' the laughter and ap
plause ot hlH republican associates, scored
tho domocratlc party for Its continual oppo
sition out of powsr and Impotence In power.
"But," ho"sl(!,,,"fike nearly everybody
elso. I like tho 'cTemocr&tlc party better In
Its habitual attimfto In belaboring the policy
of Its ndversarv. rather than to see It
! clothed In authority, hopelessly mixed up In
I a policy of Its own. (Laughter.)

MONEY TO GO TO PORTO RICO
All Revenue Collected Toiler Hie
Temtor.ir' Mennilro Will llfiirllt
I'orto Hlcunn Only.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-U was stated
by a member of the cabinet today that the
provision In the Porto Rico compromise
tariff bill which stipulates that nil revenues
collected on Porto Rlcan goods and goods
imported from tho United states unit n sp
here shall bo expended in tho Island for
tho benedt of Its people Is tho prominent
feature which reconciles the president to Its
passage, with this nrov s on n tho b 11.
ho said, tho net result would bo, In n meas
ure, the samo as freo trade, which the presi
dent recommended to congress in his mes
sage.
It was said that In making that recom
mendation tho president had taken Into ac
count all tho factors which entered Into it,
tho great need of schools, the provisions
which must be mnde for the suppression of
piuetnic dlsoascs, the necessity for tho con
structlon of roads and bridges and tho other
ecessary Improvements In the Island which
the situation Imperatively demands, He also
took Into nccount, ho said, tho fact that '
business on the lslnnd Is In a deplorable,
i,....i .... , . I
elplcss to meet tho ordinary demands of
government. In this situation It wns the
resident's view that tho United States,
from Its abundance, should extend a helping
hand and he had In preparation nt one time
message to congress asking for an appro
priation of $3,000,000 to bo expended for tho
public schools of tho Island.
Another phase of tbe subject which has
occupied tho attention of tho ndmlnlstratlon
s that Involving tho open door policy. This
government having secured rrom tho Eino
pcan powers a pledge that tho United States
shall have equal trade rights with them In
the cast, could not, it was said, with any
degree of consistency, shut tho doors to their
trade with tho Philippines.
Although It Is admitted that n declaration
n favor of free trndo with Porto Rico might
cstnbltsh n precedent which would bo dif
ficult to ovcrcomo In dealing with tho
hlllpplncs, yet It was stated that a declar
ation In tbo bill Itself, of tho right of con
gress to deal with these two questions
separately, and as in its Judgment It might
deem best, would simplify tho problem nnd
lenvo this government free to treat the
hlllppines as an entirely Independent
proposition.

pointed n committee to consult with tbe

they nro compelled to work from sunrlso to

Value tn TIioiisuiiiIn,
Common Benso would suggest that If ono
wishes to become fleshy and plump It can
only result from the food wo eat and digest
nnd that food should bo albuminous or fieoh

mako Hesh aro tho foods which form the
greater part of our dally bills of fare.
Dut tbo troubio is tnai wnuo we cat
enough and generally too much, the stoni-
nch, from nbuso and overwork, does not
properly digest and nselmllnto It, which Is
the reason so many people remain tnin and
under weight; the digestive organs do not
completely digest thn Hesh forming bcef-
stenk nnd eggs and hlmllnr wholesome food.
There nre thousands of such who nro
really confirmed dyspeptics,, although they
may have no particular pain or Incon
venience from their stomachs.
If such porBons would lay their prejudices
asldo and make a regular practice of taking
after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets tbe fond would be quickly
and thoroughly digested, because these tub
lets contain the natural peptones and dla
Btaso which every weak Momach lacks, and
by supplying this want tho stomach Is en-,
abled to regain Its natural tone and vigor.
Stttait's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of fiesb-fonnlng food, meat, eggs,
bread and potatoes, and this U tho reason
thoy so quickly build up, strengthen and In
vigorate thin, dyspeptic men, womon nnd
children.
Invalids and children, oven tbe most deli
cate, uso them with marked benefit as they
contain no strong, Irritating drugs, nn ca
thartic or any harmful ingredient.
