NEW YORK, April l3.-Mr. Conkling still
shows steady improvement, and there is
reason TO believe that the crisis has passed.
He passed one of the best nights since his
illness on Wednesday night. The peri

themselves at all during the night. The

There was a marked difference in Mrs

There was hope in the faithful wife's
voice and eye. She too had slept and
much of the haggard appearance had left

Mr. Edward Stokes went up to the sick
chamber to inquire about Mr.. COnkling s
condition, and returning said that he had
seen Mr.. Conkling; that he was very ner-
vous, but recognized him by an inclination
OF the head. He thought it would not be
best for him TO excite the Ex-senator by
talking, 80 he merely sccosted him pleas
antly and left the room. Mr.. Stokes was
not very favorably impressed by the ap-
pearance Of the sufferer.

Why is cedar always selected as the best
wood for cigar boxes, You might put the
question 20 hundred cigar manufacturers
or dealers and thousands of smokers, and be-
yond the reply that it is the most suitable
and that cedar is always used not one can
tell you the true reason. Cedar is used be-
cause it is the most porous wood, is easily
dried and can be cut and nailed better and
quicker than hard wood into boxes. But the
principal reason is because OF the flavor,
which is contained in the essential oil with
which the wood is saturated. The flavor Of
the oil evaporates freely and has the most
beneficial effect upon any kind of tobacco

The Coming Weeks Congressional Busi-
ness.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-An attempt will
be made in tie House on Monday to pass
the River and Harbor bill under suspen-
sion OF the rules. The Speaker has agreed
to recognize Mr.. Blanchard to make the
motion. The matter was considered by the
leaders Of the party and it was concluded
that this would be the safest plan to be fol-
lowed, as the chances Of the appropriations
being increased by the House would be
lessened The understanding is that the
bills having special assignments, which
have lost their day by the deadlock, will
not recover their position There may be
one or two that will get time after the
tariff bill is disposed OF. but the general
purpose appears to be to let them drag.
q To-day Is private bill day, and it IS no.
certain that there will be . session on Sat
1rday. Monday is committee suspension
day, and Tuesday the tariff bill is to be
called up.
The last named. it is supposed, will be the
regular order until disposed OF, although
debate may give way at some period to let
an appropriation bill slip through.
There Is some talk among Republicans Of
flibusterihg against the tariff bill, but it il
not general.

WASHINGTON, April i3.-Consul General
Phelan, who is here on his way from

treaty said: THE people of Nova Scotia,

They do not want it. Our people are very
foolish in opposing the treaty, for it OBJ
tains for us more than one could have
hoped. All the criticisms l have seen are
based upon the apparent assumption that
this treaty is an original one.
That is not correct They forget
forget the treaty of 1918, and that the En-
giish people were tenacious in holding to
everything they could. In my opinion the
more public the treaty is made the better;

people in all its bearings, and intelligently
discussed, they will see how favorable it is
