Ca tarrhal
POI S ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Cata rrh
explains the following important facts:
1. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
souous infection, AT first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional. the infection ia
beyond the reach Of mere local remedies.
3. That Impurities in the nostrilS, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urnary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows The mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia
Chronic Diarrhoa, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea
and Consumption.
5. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and
Insoluble snuffs. cannot possibly remove In
ectfous infiammations from the organs named.
6. That ansantidote Tor Catsrrh must pos
sess an inoculative affinity for, and the quality
of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories, DIR.
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infsllible. 1t not only re1eaves, it cures

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Senate Deadlock-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, April 1O.-fF is expected that Republican Senate caucus will be held tomorrow morning, and it is authoritatively stated that another effort will be made to have the majority consent to consider some of the executive nominations That this eff fort will prove unsuccessful is already as- sufed and the deadlock may be continued during the week unless executive interference s brought to bear upon it, which is not ex- pected at present. The Democrats think it unnecessary to hold caucus, as there is now no desire in their ranks for a change of po- sition.
 Considerable excitement has been caused here by the discovery of what may prove to be an attempt to defraud the government by important omission in the publication of notices for proposals The matter is laid at the door of Joseph T. Bender the financial clerk of the Indian bur- eau, who has charge of the notices of proposals for furnishing beef for the Indians The usual notices recently appeared in west ern papers without the clause providing for deductions on inferior cattle and this omission has been reported to Secretary Kirkwood, who ordered the notices with drawn. It is estimated that had the omission been unnoIiceo tne goVernment would nave sustained loss of over $500, GOO. The In- terior department will thoroughly investigate the matter. The defence, that the omission was an oversight. will scarcely hold since the error occurs twice in each notice.
 The Secretary of the Treasury yesterday said that the financial programme would be announced early next week. He is now en- gagged in completing the details, and no fur ther consideration would be required by the Cabinet before making the scheme public He says he has not intimated to any one what the programme is to be.
