Mr. McComas spoke at length of the

i tally upon the career of John Hanson,

Mr. Dolllver (la.) told of a recent In
spection of the original manuscript of the
Declaration of Independence and said be
iiad found that all the signatures had
practically faded away. Including that of
Carroll. That circumstance he considered
significant, for that memorable document,
after all, owed Its origin to .all the people
and not alone to the few whose names
were attached to It.
Mr. Depew (N. Y.) In the course of his
remarks referred to the fact .that public
men of the colonics of the revolutionary
period were without experience as diplo
mats, but he declared their accomplish

alleled. Referring to the fact that John
Hanson had passed out of mind, Mr. Depew
said the time would come when the only
persons connected with our civil war. who
would be remembered would be Lincoln,
Grant and Lee,
Mr. Bacon Qa.) suggested that tn addi

PANAMA TREATY IN DANCER
" "
Mucu Opposition to the Document ;i
Threatened in Senate
"
MORGAN IS IN DOUBT OF LEGALITY
tnirndnirnt. Kr to 1r Offered t
prl) K.verj ertlnn of Treaty
and llelny In Itallflentlon
Is Inevitable.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31 An Important j
conference was held st the White Hons
today, the participants being the president,
Secretary Hay and Senator Culloni. chair
man of the foreign relations commllteo of
the senate.
The subject under discussion was the
status of the Panama canal. The situation
with regard to th" treaty as It has devel
oped In the senate is giving the administra
tion and its supporters grave concern. Tho
president Is exceedingly anxious that the
treaty should be ratified at the earliest pos
sible moment, yet the Indications now sre
that serious obstructions may be placed in
the way of ratification.
The conference held today was with a
view of ascertaining If possible what could
be done to hasten consideration of tho
treaty by the senate. An effort is to te
made to get the treaty out of committee
with a favorable report. That the effort
will be successful Is reasonably certain,
but then Its troubles In the present view
of the matter will only have begun.
Senator Morgan, chairman of the commit
tee on interoceanlc canals, takes the
ground that the negotiations conducted by
the State department with Mr. Herran, rep
resenting Colombia, are not valid, as he
holds that Mr. Herran did not possess th?
necessary authority to mnke a treaty bind
ing upon his country, and it Is understood
he will use his utmost efforts to defeat the
treaty In Its present form.
To Offer Amendments.
Indeed, the information has reached the
president that when the treaty Is called up
for consideration In the senate amend
ments will be offered to almost every sec
tion of It.
Such action, It Is well understood, will
seriously delay final action upon It, even
If It should not result In the defeat of Its
ratification. It Is stated definitely that any
amendment to the treaty would 'com
promise the entire canal project, as the
government of Colombia might hesitate to
accept amendments made to It, particularly
If they Involved essential details or prin
ciples. During the conference today the situation
was considered carefully, but what decision,
If any, was reached could not be ascer
tained. It Is known only that an earnest
effort is to be made in the senate to secure
ratification of the treaty at the present ses
sion, but the method of procedure Is not
disclosed.
While the treaty will not fall even If It
should not be ratified at this session, the
officials fear that the delay which would
result from failure of the senate to tako
final action might Involve serious conse
quences. The senate committee on foreign rela
tions again today discussed the Panama
canal treaty.
The discussion was baaed entirely upon
the amendments to the treaty which were
offered yesterday by Senator Morgan and
his resolution directing an Inquiry into
the credentials of Senor Herran, who ne
gotiated the treaty on the part of Colom
bia, was voted down.

Statehood Bill as Rider.
The senate committee on agriculture to
day agreed to place the omnibus statehood
bill on tho agricultural appropriation bill
as a rider.
The proposition was strongly antago

The annual dinner of the t'.ridiron club
given toulghl enabled the Washington cor
respondents who compose the organization
to agtln combine toasts and roasta for an
evening's amusement.
Among the 200 guests and members were
ambassadors, senators and representatives,
governors, high officers of the army and
navy, prominent men in the financial and
business world, editors and proprietors of
newspapers and scientists and men of let
ters. The Inauguration ot the new president af
forded an opportunity for reverting to the
part he took in securing the attendance of
Spanish grandees for the World's fair at
Chicago. The pomp and ceremony of the
Spanish court of 1492 mingled with twen
tieth century Ideas and events made It a
showy and laughnbla affair. One of the
questions propounded to Columbus was,
"What Is a trust?" to which he answered,
"A bunch of money surrounded by water."
J. Plerpont Morgan, one of the guests of
the club, was made the subject of another
burlesque. Fur the alleged benefit of the
New York financiers the Gridiron club In
stalled a "bucket shop" as an adjunct to
Mr. Morgan's office. The burlesque con
cluded with a song dedicated to Mr. Mor

ASKED TO HAVE A RECEIVER NAMED
Only Ahnnt Three Hundred Thnuand
Dollars ot Stork Represented
In Bill of Knotty Filed
In t bleasro.
CHICAGO. Jan. 31. A bill in equity was
filed here today In the state circuit court
by C. H. Venner Co. of Poston, through
their counsel, James Hamilton Lewis,
against the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway company of Illinois, tho Rock
Island Railroad company of Iowa, the Rock
Island company ot New Jersey, the Central
Trust company of New York and the offi
cers, directors and prominent stockholders
ot those companies. Including William H.
and James H. Moore, William R. Leeds,
Daniel O. Reld. It. C. Frlck, Marshall Field,
Ogden Mills and others.
The bill attacks the validity cf the late
reorganization of the Rock Island system
and the legality of the Issue of (75.000,000
ot the new stock, and demands that the
Iowa and New Jersey companies of the
consolidation be declared 'Ifrauds," as
created In violation of the Illinois consti
tution, and that the Central Trust company,
the holders of the stock and bonds of the
consolidated roads, be enjoined from voting
the stock or acting as trusters tn Illinois.
The plaintiffs also ask that the officers
bo declared guilty of fraud on the minority
stockholders and that a receiver be ap
pointed for the stock properties.
Venner & Co., who bring the action, claim
to represent a majority of the dissenting
stockholders. About $300,000 Is represented
In the bill. There has been, it Is said,
some bad feeling among certain stockhold
ers ot the system since the reorganization
was affected last July.

WILLIAM COMMITS AN ERROR
German Emperor Boards American
Yacht and Says Unpleasant
Things About England.
LONDON, Jan. 31. The National Review
again refers to Its famous story about
the emperor's visit to an American yacht,
saying:
The story may now be regarded as no
longer challenged In any competent quarter.
It Is beyond all possible doubt that the
kaiser did perpetrate an appalling Indis
cretion by talking Anglophobia at large, In
the presence of strangers, and discussing
his uncle, our king, in the most offensive
manner.
Judging from the communications which
have reached us during the last two months
this Incident made a deep impression upon
our readers.
The reason we lay so much stress upon It
Is that It affords so much reason why the
German emperor should not be allowed to
occupy the position, which he covets. In this
country, of being the power behind the
throne.

LONDON, Jan. 31. Exceptional Interest
Is attached to the departure of the chan
nel squadron from Portsmouth today on
a prolonged cruise. For the first lime
British battleships have been fitted to con
sume oil as fuel. These experiments hsve
so far been confined to small war vessels,
but now both Hannibal and Mars will use

BEAUTY
ADD
Ancient and Modern Ideas on
the Subject.
Time and Disease the Effacing Agents
of Beauty,
What Has Science Done to Restore tho Lily
and tho Roso?
Socrates called b?auty a short-lived
tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature,
Theocritus a delightful prejudice, Theoph
rastus a ellent cheat, Carneades a solitary
kingdom, Homer a glorious gift of nature.
Ovid a favor of the gods. Aristotle aHlmed
that beauty was better than all the letters
of recommendation In tho world, yet none
of these distinguished authorities has left
us oven a hint of how beauty Is to be per
petuated or tho ravages of age and disease
defied. Time soon blends the lily and rose
Into the pallor of ago, disease dots the
fair face with cutaneous disfigurations and
rrimsous the Roman nose with unsightly
flushes, moth, If not rust, corrupt the glory
of eyes, teeth and lips yet beautified by
defacing the complexion, and fills the sen
sitive soul with agony unspeakable.
If such be the unhappy condition of one
afflicted with slight skin blemishes, what
must be the feelings of those In whom
torturing humors have for years run riot,
covering tne skin with scales and aores
and charging the blood with poisonous
elements to become a part of the system
until death? It is vain to attempt to por
tray such suffering. Death in many cases
might be considered a blessing. The blood
and fluids seem to be impregnated with a
fiery element which, when discharged
through the pores upon the surface of the
body, inflames and burns uutil, in his
efforts for relief,, the patient tears the
skin with hla nails and not until the blood
flows does sufficient relief couio to cause
him to desist.
Thus do complexlonal defects merge Into
torturing disease and piqued vanity give
place to real suffering. A little wart on
the nose or cheek grows to tho all
devouring lupus, a patch of tetter on the
palm of the hand or on the limbs, suddenly
envelops the body In its fiery embrace, a
bruise on the leg expands into a enawlng
ulcer, which reaches out Its fangs to the
sufferer's heart in every paroxysm of pain,
a small kernel in the neck multiplies Into
a dozen, which eat away the vitality, great
pearl-like scales grow from little rash-like
Inflammations In such abundance aa to
pasa credulity; and so on may we depict
the sufferings to which poor human nature
Is subject, all of which Involve great men
tal distress becauso of peraonal disfigura
tions. Every school girl or boy knows that If
a pore In the skin in his or her face be
comes clogged a little blackhead appears
and surrounding It a little pimple. It a
dozen pores become clogged there are a
dozen blackheads and pimples. So It Is
with acne. In salt rheum, or as It Is
technically called, eczema, the cause ot the
disease aeems to be In the blood, from tho
fact that the fluids which pour out through
the tubes are charged with a poisonous
element that creates the meat Intense Itch
lug and violent Inflammation and rapidly
destroys the outer or scarf akin. This
dreadful . form of skin disease attacks all
ages ' and may frequently be seen fully
developed In infants at birth. In such
cases It is often called milk crust, ecald
head, etc., but there Is no doubt ot its
real nature and that It is an Inherited
humor.
If there was not another external disease
known, eczema would be a sufficient In
fliction on mankind. It pervades all
classes and descends impartially through
generations. While some are constantly
enveloped In It, othera have It confined
to email patcbea In the ears, on the scalp,
on the breaat, on the palms of the hands,
on the limbs, etc.. but everywhere its dis
tinctive feature Is a small watery bister,
which discharges an acrid Quid,
causing heat, Inflammation and In
tense itching. Ringworm, tetter, scallcd
head, dandruff, belong to this scaly and
Itching order of diseases. Psorias. our
modern leprosy, with its mother-of-pearl
scale, situated on a reddened base, which
bleeds upon the removal of the scalo. Is to
be dreaded and avoided as of old. Impetigo,
barber's itch, erysipelas and a ecore of
minor disorders make up In part the
catalogue of external diseases of the skin.
Thus fsr we have made no allusion to
those afflictions which are manifestly Im
purities of the blood, viz.: Swelling of the
glands of the throat, ulcers on the neck
and llmhs. tumors, abscesses and mer
curial poisons, with loss of hair, because ,
the whole list can be comprenenaca in tne
one word scrofula.
It la In the treatment of torturing dis
figuring humors and affections of the akin,
scalp and blood, with loss of hair that
the Culicura remedies have achieved their
greatest success. Original In composi
tion, gciontlfically compounded, absolutely
pure, unchangeable In any climate, always
ready and agreeable to the most delicate
and sontiitive, -.hey present to young and
old the most successful curatives of mod
ern times. This will be considered strong
language by those acquainted with the
character and obstinacy of blood and skin
humors, but U is Justified by innumerable
successes where ell the remedies and meth
ods In vogue have failed to cure and in
many cases, to r'lleve even.
The cutlciira treatment is at once agree
able, speedy, economical and comprehen
sive. Bathe the affected parts freely with
bin water and Cutlcura soap to cleanse
the surface of crusts and acales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard
rubbing and apply Cutlcura Ointment to
allay itrhlng. irritation and Inflammation,
and soothe and heal, and lastly, take Cu
tlcura Resolvent to cool and cleanne
the blood. This treatment affords Instant
relief, permits rest and sleep In the sever
est forms of eczema and other Itching,
bunting and scaly hutr.ore and points to
a speedy, permanent and economical cure
of torturing, disfiguring humors, eczemas,
raphes and Inflammation, from infancy to
age, -when all ciher remedies and the
betft physicians fall. The remedies con
stituting the Cutlcura system will repay an
Individual sirutl'M of their remarkable
properties.
Cutlcura Soap containa In a modified form
the medicinal properties of Cutlcura Oint
ment, the great skin cure and purest and
sweetest of emollients, combined with the
most delicate snd refreshing of flower
odors. Ii Is absolutely pure and no Ingre

some. It purines and invigorates the pores
of the skin and Imparts activity to the
oil glands and tubes, thus furnishing an
outlet for unwholesome matter, which if
retained would cause pimples, blackhead,
rashes, oily, niothy skin and other com
plexlonal Olsflguratlons, aa well aa scalp
affections and irritations, falling hair and
baby rashes. Its gentle and continuous
action on the natural lubricators ot the
skin keeps the latter transparent, soft,
flexible and healthy. Hence its constant
use, assisted by an occasional use ot Cutl
cura Ointment, realizes the fairest com
plexion, the softest, whitest hands aud the
most luxuriant, glossy hair within the
domain of the most advanced scientific
knowledge to supply. Sale greater than
the world's product of other skin soaps.
Cutlcura Ointment Is the most success
ful external curative for torturing, disfig
uring humors of the skin and scalp, Includ
ing loss of hair, in proof of which a single
anointing with It, preceded by a hot bath
with Cutlcura Soap and followed In the
severer cases by a full dose of Cutlcura
Resolvent Is sufficient to afford Immediate
relief In tho most distressing forms of
Itching, burning and scaly humors, permit
rest and sleep and point to a speedy curd
when nil other remedies fall. It. Is espe
cially ao in the treatment of infants end
children, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of Infantile humors
and preserving, purifying and beautifying
the skin, scalp and hair.
Cutlcura Ointment possesses et the same
time the charm of satisfying the simple
wants of tho toilet of all ages, in caring
for the skin, scalp, hair and hands far mora
effectually, agreeably and economically
than the most expensive of toilet emol
lients, while free from every ingredient of
a doubtful or dangerous character. Its

sparring or any sport, each In connection
with the use of Cutlcura Sonp, Is sufficient
evidence ot this.
Of all remedies for the purification of tin
blood and circulating fluids none ap
proaches In specific medical action Cutlcura
Resolvent. In forty minutes after taking
the first dose it may be detected by chemi
cal analysis in the saliva, sweat, fat and
blood, showing it has entered the circu
lating fluids and made the entire circuit
of the human labyrinth. Chemical testa
also show it to be present In the water
in which the patient has bathed. on arising
In the morning, which proves that It has
becomo a part of those fluids which pass
through the skin to the surface of the
body. It neutralizes and resolves away
(Lence Its Dame) scrofulous, Inherited and
ether humors In the blood which give rise
to swelling of the glands, pains in the
bones and torturing, disfiguring eruptions
of the skin and scalp, with losa of hair.
Cutlcura Resolvent extends its purifying
Influence by means of the porea to tho
surface of tho skin (as abovo noted), al
laying Irritation, Inflammation, Itching and
burning and soothing and healing eczema
tons humors. Hence its success In the
treatment of distressing hemors of the
skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair,
which fall to be permanently cured by ex
ternal remedies alone. Cutlcura Resolv
ent Is, therefore, not only most Important
In the -cure of all external humors, as well
as Internal, but Is moat economical, hasten
ing the cure and insuring Its permanency.
It further exerts a gentle, but. constant In
fluence upon the bowels, liver, kidneys and
uterine system, purifying these organs and
maintaining them In health, thus remov
ing a common cause of yellow, motby,
greasy skin and more or less of pimples,
blotches and blackheads. Mothers are
assured of Its freedom from any Ingredient
that Is In the least objectionable In action,
tasts or odor. It Is, therefore, readily
taken by children of all ages and condi
tions and rhould be given on the first ap
pearance of severe humor, whether simple,
scrofulous or hereditary. It Is also
a mother's remedy, regulating and
strengthening the maternal functions, while
purifying the system of ulcerative weak
ness and debilitating humors.
The grandest testimonial that ran be
offered Cutlcura remedies la their world
wide ssle, due to the personal recom
mendations ot those who have used them.
It is difficult to realize the mighty growth
of the business done uader this neme.
From a small beginning In the simplest
form, against prejudice and opposition,
against monled hosts, counties rivals and
trade Indifference, Cutlcura remedies have
become the greatest curatives of their
time and, In fact, of all time, for nowhere
in the history of medicine Is to be found
snother approaching them in popularity
and sale. In every clime and with every
people they have met with the same re
ception. The confines of the earth are Ihe
only limits to their growth. They have
ronquered the world. By rail and sail, bv
caravan, by park and saddle and on th
backs of human beings they have made
their way to the farthermost parts of th"
earth.
There reems to be something ali.nn
Cutlcura remedies which Invites the con
fidence of mankind. National peculiarities,
European, Eastern and Asiatic teaching
and traditions seem to have.no adverse
Influence upon them. Hence they are to la
found In every part of the world and the
sight of them In the stores, bazars and
native shops has Inspired the American
traveler In foreign lands with patriotic
emotions second only to those Inr.plred by
by the contemplation of bis country's flag.
While It Is true that prosperity to an
abundant degree has blessed those con
nected with the manufacture ot the Cutl
cura remedies, yet It Is equally true that
full value has been given the public In
return. That this latter statement la true
no one caa doubt who stadlea the Indis
putable record of their world-wide popu
arity, as evidenced by a sale greater than
that of all other blood and skin remedies
combined. '
To the test of popular Judgment all
thinss mundane must eflnslly come. Th
world has rodtrcd lta verdict to (aver ot
C.iUcura,
