played great passion throughout. At mid

Senator Alien was the only one of Wash
tons delegation present at the opening OF
congress today. He was rested from his
long journey. and said he was never in
better health. Several of the senators told
him he had been growing fat since the adj
journment:
'when went home expected to take medi-
cine" he said, "but my friends there prescribed

health improved all the time"
Senator Alien said that he found many
matters which needed his attention dur
ing the recess. He had been compelled to
neglect his correspondence. and it had ac-
cumulated in great quantities. The
senator Is greatly Interested in the reap

measure means more to Washington than

expected to complete the work on the
Pacific coast. None can say when they
will complete the work for which

as it was largely left with him to decide the
scope of the work. 1t is not likely that any
business will come up in the Senate which
will incline the party leaders to urge their
presence before their work is completed.
Representative Wilson arrived in WASH
ington City this evening, being delayed
several hours this side of Chicago by the
wreck of a freight train. Mrs. Wilson is
with him. They have quarters temporari-
ly at the Ebbitt house. and may make
their residence there for the winter.
Mr.. Wilson said he would at once devote
himself to the Coeur d'Alene and two or
three other measures now pending, which
are of special interest to his state.

WASHINGTON CTrY, Dec. There was an
unusual attendance of senators atthe OPEN
ing of today's session of the Senate. The

other as the best of friends. whom no politi-
cal successes or reverses could estrange.
Immediately after the chaplain's prayer
the credentials of the senators-slect from
Wyoming were presented by Hoar. When
they were read Senators Carey and Warren

THE PENSION APPROPRIATIONS.
One Hundred and Thirty-Five Millions-
To Be Rushed Through.

WASHINGTON C1TY, Dec. 1.-The pre-
sentation OF the appropriation bill provid-
ing for $l35. COO, 900 in pensions by Repre-
sentative Morrow is without precedent.
The disposition to rush matters through
this session is very appa. ent. The appro-
priation committee has been ip session
every day for a week, and it was determ-
ined to put the biggest item out Of the way
first. The bill is on the calendar for to-
morrow, but will not be called up for at
least four or five days. The Democrats are
preparing 10 fire off large amount OF CAM
paign ammunition at it. and will bring In
such issues as the tariff and silver, II possi-
bic. The duty of heading of all the lrrele-
want speeches has been deputed TO Mr..
Morrow.
The appropriation for the District of Co
lumbla, always a source of annoyance and
delay, will probably be reported next, and
quickly disposed of.

She often felt dizzy and had noises in her ears

to her lungs, she coughed, her breath became
short and she felt tightness in her chest and

SO weak that food or even water
would cause a heaviness and burning
in her stomach followed by nausea. She had
pains across the small of her back and kidneys

PENNSYLVANIA'S SONS
TO FORM A PERMANENT ORGANIZATION
IN CHICAGO,

A Society Already Numbering Over 400
Former Residents of the keystone State
Its Aim aad Objects-A Scheme TO
Further Promote Its Usefulness.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPAroH.i
CHICAGO, June 22.-There is a scheme
on foot to make the Chicago Society Of Sons
of Pennsylvania permanent organization,
with regular clubhouse, to serve as head
quarters for all present or former residents
of Pennsylvania residing in Chicago
or occasionally visiting the city. The plan
has not yet fully matured and has never
been broached at any of the regular meetings,
but it has gone so far that circulars have
been printed, to be mailed to the editors Of
all Pennsylvania newspapers, briefly setting
out the scheme and asking their cooperation.
1t is proposed that any person who now re-
sides In Pennsylvania, or once lived there,
may become member of the society upon
paying in his initiation fee of 81 and an an
nual fee of the same amount. In return ior
this, the society will extend its hospitality
TO all nonresident members when visiting
the city, will furnish them with accurate and
full information as to the cost of
board and lodging, and furnish an
attendant to see that they are properly cared
for. The theory is that very many people
will visit Chicago with whom money is an
object, and by telling them at once upon
their arrival the cost aud location of private
boarding houses in the various sections of
the city, the organization will save them
very much more than it will cost. By
gathering together Pennsylvanians from all
over the West, 1t would be invaluable as
means of extending the acquaintance of
the visitor. He would "stand in" with
Iaroa pumher of neonle whom IL would be
very desirable to know. The matter has
been informally laid before number of
well-known Pennsylvanians who have been
in Chicago within the past few weeks and
has met with the unqualified approval of
most of them. 1t is believed that an
aggregate of 100. 900 members might be OBJ
tanned, including non-residents OF course,
and the organization might be made very
effective means of promoting the great
interests of Pennsylvanians in the West.
At present It has membership of over
400, all residents of Chicago, and it meets
on the second Thursday of each month in
one of the club rooms OF the Palmer House.
