WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE President
does not seem the least disturbed by the
action of the recent republican caucuses.
Those nearest him socially and politically
say there is no possibility whatever that
he will. as requested by the resolution of
Senator Sargent, in caucus last night,
rescind the order forbidding participation
in political meetings of officials in the
executive branch of the civil service, and
these friends do not think il probable any
such request will be made by the congress
sional committee, though they may confer
with the President on political subjects
generally, in view of the approaching elec
ton. They say the President never de-
clines to listen attentively to suggestions,
but when be makes up his mind to the
rightfalness of any measure, be adherei
to it. Republicans in congress, for the
greater part, will endeavor to avoid direc
issue with the President. however rnuct
they disagree with him in some of BIZ
political measures.
The senate postal committee authorized
the nomination of Charles FL. Eddy a
postmaster at Toledo to be reported
favorab!y.
The senate committee on commerc
agreed to recommend the confirmation O
Justice Colburn as United States consu
general at the city of Mexico.

she seldom eou sleep without taking large doses
Of opium. EVel1 joint was swellsd very much, and
her knees, hands, and neck, covered with large
Jumps. She could do no kind OF work, the sinews
and muscles being so hard and contracted that her
limbs were drawn together. so that she was obliged

been for twenty years. without ever getting anyre-
