REPUBLICANs IN CONFERENCE.

REPUBLICANS IN CONFERENCE. The Tariff Bili to be Taken Up In the
 House To-MOrrow-General Debate
 te East Four Days-Night Sessions
 for SPeeches-The Previous question
 on the Final Passage of the Bill to
 be COnsidered May 2l.
 WASHINGTON, May 5.-After adjournment of the house this afternoon the republican members assembled in conference to en- deavor to ascertain the feeling respecting the proper time to be allowed for debate in the house upon the tariff bill, and reach an understanding that may be adopted as the policy of the party.
 The river and harbor bill managers made strenuous effort to have that appropriation bill made special order for a consideration to conclusion before the tariff bill is taken up, and Representative Henderson, who is chairman of the committee on rivers and harbors, by direction of that committee made statement of the reasons why this should be done. He pointed out the danger of the failure of the bill! through delayed considera. tion and offered resolution setting apart Wednesday and Thursday for action upon the bill. Apparently majority of the mem- bsrs could not be made to take this view of the matter for 1t was decided by vote of 90 to 195 that the tariff bill was the matter of prime importance and should be called up Wsdnes- day. Then arose the question of the time to be allowed for it's confederation. Finally 1t was agreed that the general debate should go on for four days Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week with night sessions for speeches. Fight days additional will then be allowed for the confederation of the bill by paragraphs under tho five minute rule. May 21 the previous question on the final passage of the bill is to be considered as ordered by the terms of a special rule to be adopted.
 When the subject had been disposed of the river and harbor men made another effort, this time seeking to have adopted special rule providing for consideration of their bill immediately after final action upon the tariff bill, but again they were defeated. There l was some talk about the remaining business before congress, and it became evident that the general feeling was that final adjourn. ment could be taken about the middle of July.
 The members of the committee on rivers and harbors feel somewhat indignant over the manner In which their bill has been side. tracked. They appreciate the fact that, unless early action Is taken upon their measure, 1t may fail by reason of e lack of time for due confederation by the senate. Yielding to the inevitable, however. they are determined te press It's consideration as soon as the tariff bill is ont of the way, and will antagonize all other legislation until the river and harbo, bill is disposed of.
 The caucus adjourned to meet in joint caucus this evening with the republican senators for the appointment of the congres sional campaign committee.

HIS IDEA OF WOMEN.
What a Prominent English Au. thor Thinks of American Ladies-A Comparison with European Girls.

wellknown English author, who vas recently in the United States, was entertained by gentle man and lady of wealth, residing on Fifth Avenue, New York. In the course of the dinner the conver- satlon turned upon American women, when the English gentleman said:
 "Nowhere in America do you find such com plexions and nowhere such health as we see in tho faces and forms of English girls. have noticed this in every city that have visited. American ladies look tired weak. faded They lack color and they lack life. Existence seems 8 burden them, not pleasure. You in America, do not notice il, because you are here, while I can see 1t very plainly"
 We may say that this English author was prsj- udiced, was conceited, was bitter, but we cannot say that he was wrong. American ladies are not strong, healthy, brilliant. they should be- Their compexions not clear nor their eyes so bright as could be desired. Doubtless the climate has something to do with this, but 1t Is unques- tionably true that by proper care, and 5vdicIous use of tho right means, these things can be over come. Any lady who feels tired, despendent or weak can readily overcome these troubles by proper use of little pure whskey taken in water:
 Bear in nnind however, that it should be the best
 whiskey, anything else Is injurious, and aiso re- | member that the best physicians and chemists m America unhesitatingly declare that Ouffy's Pure
 Malt has no equal. The effect of this whskey IS to build up the system, to improve the complexion and
 to give brightness and vigcr in the place of weak
 ness and languor. It is being used by the leading l ladies in the land, and its popularity proves It's | value my6 oaw
