THE SILVER QUESTION.
Report of the Subcommittee Heard But No
Action Taken.

Report of the Subcommittee Heard But No
Action Taken.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The House Re-
publican committee on the silver question
held meeting this morning and heard the
report of the committee appointed to confer
with the subcommittee of the Senate Re-
publican committee, with view to coming
To some agreement as to the basis for the
passage of the Silver Bill. The sub-com-
mittee reported that it had been agreed that
the bill should provide for the purchase
of 4,500,000 ounces Of silver every month,
the certificates issued in payment thereof
to be redeemable in lawful money. At
first the members of the full committee
were inclined to accept and adopt this
basis, and voted to do so, but afterward, in
discussing the manner of redeeming the
certificates, a sentiment was developed in
favor of making them Tedeemable in bull
ion. This proposition WAS advocated by
majority of the committee, and the sub
committee was instructed to again confer
with the Senate subcommittee and en-
deav0r to induce them to agree to provide
for the redemption of the certificates in ac-
cordance with the views of the House COM
mittee. Another meeting was held tonight
but nothing definite was determined upon.

No single disease has entailed more suffering or
hastened the breaking up Of the constitution than
Catarrh. The OF smell, OF taste, OF sight, OF
hearing, the human voice, the mind-one or mora
and sometimes all yield to its destructive influence
The poison 1t distributes throughout the system at
taeks every vital force and breaks up the most
robust of constitutions. Ignored because but little
understood, by most physicians, impotently assaied
by Quacks and charlatans, those suffering from 1t
have little hope to be relieved Of 1t this side of the
grave. 1t is time, then that the popular treatment
OF this terrible disease by remedies within the reach
of all passed into hands at competent and trust
worthy. The new and hitherto untried method
adopted by Dr. Sanford in the preparation Of his
RADICAL CURE has won the hearty approval OF
thousands 1t is instantaneous in affording relief

An Elaborate Dinner Given TO the PreSi-
dent and Other Officials.

WASHINGTON. April 16. - The Latin
Americans who have been the guests OF the
United States since last October turned
hosts tonight, and right royalty repaid the

greatest dignitaTies of the land were
present. At the Presidents right was

while opposite was Secretary Blaine, Presi-
dent of the Pan-American Congress,

The tables were arranged as an eight
pointed star. About the center table was
floral design composed entirely of roses
and ferns and grouped to represent five

scarfs of ferns picked out with hybrid per-
petual roses. There was one symbolic de-
sign to which every eye turned. 1t was
formed of three laurel circlets bearing
each name America, and joined by ribbons
of red, white and blue, tied in a lovers'-
knot 1t was the design of Senior Romero,
the Mexican Minister, and was repeated on

They Protest Against the Removal of the
Present Tariff
The sugar men have filed the following
protest with the Ways and Means Com
mittee:
We, the undersigned, representatives of
the Louisiana sugar interests, have read a
statement that we have consented to the
substitution of free sugar in lieu of the
duty on that article. We desire to assure
the committee that we have at no time con-
sented to such a proposition, and wish to
state that we are opposed to any proposition
that separates sugar from the other
industries of the country affected by
tariff legislation. We request that
the present rates of duty on the
grades of sugar that we produce he
maintained, and that we shall have the pro-
lection for our Industry that we are willing
TO cOncede to the other industries of the
country"

Secret Service Agent Harris seizes Imita-
tion Coins.
Secret Service Agent Harris yesterday ar
rested G. A. Klinkner and at the same time
seized 5000 nickel medallions which he
found in Klinkner's shop.
These coins, which were imported from
Chicago. very much resemble 5-cent nickels
and on one side bear an advertisement for
the nrm. While not causing much trouble
by their circulation among shop-keepers or
on street-cars, they have been source of
great annoyance to the owners of the nickel
ln-the-slot devices.
Inc arrest was made under Treasury reg
ulatlon which prohibits the manufacture and
distribution of medals or coins which re-
semble the coins of the United States.
klinkner was released by the advice of the
United States District Attorney after prom
cling not to repeat the offense.

eighteen miles north of this city, is reported
as giving way, and the water is running
over two miles of the leYee above Turner'S

has big force of men at work strengthen
