Cal, writes:
I wish to thank the Cos
lnopolitan Dispensary for the
skillful treatment they have
given my daughter Nora, who
had been a sufferer for five
years with bronchitis and
asthma. I was very much
alarmed about her condition,
and tried everything possible
to have her cured, without
avail. A short time ago I took
her to the Cosmopolitan Dis
pensary and put her under
their treatment, and am happy
to say that they completely
restored her to health.
Il shall always recommend
them to all sufferers, knowing
them to be fair and honest in
their dealings.
Il shall be pleased to be
referred to at any time.

Proposed Changes of Importance in tho
Interstate Commerce Act.

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 4-The bill fa-
vorably reported today by Senator Cullom
to amend the interstate commerce act pro-
vides that competing common carriers
may, with the approval of the interstate
commerce commission, enter into contracts
or agreements with respect to traffic, when
in the opinion of the commission general
public interest and general welfare are
thereby subserved.
These contracts and agreements, when
subscribed from such carriers and when
filed with and approved by the commits
sion, shall be binding between the parties
thereto, subject, however, to authority
conferred upon the commission to annul
any such contract or agreement when the
commission is of the opinion that public
interest requires it.
This provision will not permit the diver
sion of traffic routed or consigned by
shipper over any specified route. The
scope of section against ''undue or un-
reasonable preference. is extended con-
siderably. An amendment made to Sec
tion 10 declares unlawful, wilful false
billing, false representation of contents of
packages, or other means for obtaining
transportation at less than regular rates.
Other amendments provide that the
commission may require reports from
common carriers at any time, and nothing
in the act to be construed so as to prevent
free carriage to their homes or places of
treatment of persons injured in railroad
accidents, or OF the bodies for burial in
case of death, or physicians or nurses for
attendance on them, or transportation free
or at reduced rates of actual resident MEN,

declared that he would like to vote twice

the bill, and Mcknight said: .'Seven-

that eight hours is enough for laboring

Ready spoke for the bill, and Dysart
again objected, claiming it Disseminated
against other labor. Plumrner made a
warm speech, favoring the bill. and add
ing: Il believe in honesty in politics.
Both parties have pledged themselves to
pass such law, and | for one feel in

Taylor claimed that the bin was nov
sufficient, saying: "It is a case where the
laboring men ask for bread and we give
them stone. By this we benevolently
give the laboring men the choice of work

Garrettson, Nevin, Hutchinson and
others spoke, the latter declaring that the
speeches were all buncombe. He moved
to recommit. A parliamentary wrangle
ensued, and the motion to recommit was
lost by vote of 6 yeas and 81 nays.
Adams then moved the previous ques-
ton, and the bill was placed upon final
passage and passed. Following is the
vote:

He RidicuIes the Fears of Those Who
Oppose Free silver.

WASHINGTON Cry, Feb. 4-When the
House coinage committee met this morn
ing Representative McCarty read a COM
munication from William L. ST. John, the
New York banker, arguing in favor of the
Senate silver bill and ridiculing the pre-
dictions of dire disaster made by the
opponents of the bill if it should be
enacted. Francis G.. Newlands had de-
clared that Germany would have succeeded
in demonetizing silver without the opposi-
ton of the strongest nation on the earth,
the United States. Bismarck himself had
since pronounced the movement mistake,
but in that movement Germany had found
as assistant, not European nation, but
the United States. nation struggling
toward specie payments. When the
Bland act was passed bankers had pre-
dicted that all our gold would leave the
country: yet in 1850, after the passage of
that act, the gold circul alton was $26S 900
600. as against $i06, 600, coo in 1870 Pre-
dictions of disaster had thickened during
the ten years following, yet in 1890, after
the passage of the present act, the gold
circulation had increased 70 1886, ,000000.
AS it was nearing the hour of adjourn
ment, Barton moved that when the COM
mittee adjourned today 1t be to meet
tomorrow at l0:30 After a somewhat
| lengthy debate the motion was carried on

Money for Pacific Coast Factory.
WAsHISsTos CITY, Feb. AFTER the
transaction of morning business in the
Senate there was short executive session.
In reference to the presentation of petit
tions as to the Conger lard bill, a colloquy
took place, going to show that all these
petitions emanate from the same source
and go back to that source before they are
forwarded to the senators; that they are
distributed from central agency, and
seem to be the.rcsult, not of a spontane-
Gus movement, but of solicitation.
Apropos of the manner IN which such
memorials are gotten up, Cockrell read a
resolution of the Philadelphia maritime
exchange protesting against the passage
by the House of the Senate bill of May.
1880, for the monthly purchase of 4,500, 600
ounces of silver. No such bill, he said,
passed the Senate in May, $780, and yet
these Wlseacres were meeting and protest
ing against it. He went on to severely
criticise the words of Edward Atkinson
on silver and other economic questions.
Dawes remarked that Atkinson's political
and economical affiliations were with the
senators who were traducing him.
The fortifications bill was taken up, the
question being on the committees amend
ment approptiating 100000 for rihed sea-
COdst HOTldTS Oh cdSJ iron, nOOpeQ Win
steel. Chambers amendment, requiring
them to be wholly of steel, was agreed to,
and then, at the suggestion of Dawes, the
committee amendment as amended was
rejected.
The committee amendment to reduce
the item for completing the mandatory
at Watervliet, \. Y, from $24S, 900 to
$14S, 900 was agreed to, as was also the
committee amendment to reduce the ap-
preparation for machinery at Watervliet
arsenal from $46S, 900 to So66, 900.
The committee amendment increasing
the appropriation for a board of ordnance,
etc., to make purchases, experiments and
tests of the most favorite guns, small
arms, ETC., from 100000 TO $780, was
agreed 10.
An amendment by Cockrell. re-amended
by Chandler, was agreed to, providing for
the addition of two civilian members to
the board of ordnance and fertilization,
not TO be ex-offcers of the army or navy,
To hold Office four years and receive a
salary of 5000 and actual expenses.
The committee amendment to insert
paragraph increasing to 81. .250,000 the ap-
preparation in the fertilization act for the
procurement of heavy ordnance, was
agreed 10.
Dolph's amendment appropriating ST.
100000 for a plant for heavy ordnance
at some point on the Pacific coast was dis
agreed to.
The bill was then passed.
The military academy bill was passed,
with one amendment.

THE EIGHT-HoUR BILL.
Passed By the House, But the Senate
VIII Likely Kill it.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 4-ISpecial. The eight
hour bill of Representative Adams, reiat-
ing TO labor on public institutions, was
somewhat Unexpectedly brought TO an
issue In the House this afternoon, and it
was passed by an overwhelming vote.
There were, of course, protests against its
massage. on the ground that II would be of
no benefit to the workingmen, but they
were of no avail The bill had actually
passed to the third reading, and the vote
was about to be taken, before word was
said. but Hunsaker, suddenly recognizing
it's character. arose and asked what good
such a measure would do. He was imme-
diately followed by Tiffany, who protested
against the bill as class legislation pure
and simple. He declared that he could
not see wherein the laboring man would
be benefited. "The law of supply and de-
mand will settle this question, declared
Tiffany. seThis bill restricts the laboring
man. and its direct effect will be to throw
men out of employment and make more
tramps. I've been a laboring man myself,
and perhaps Others in this House have not
been able TO avoid the divine ordinance
tha: man shall earn bread by the sweat of
his brow. I never was able TO do my work
in eight hours, and don't believe others
can"
Parcell of King became somewhat
worked up on Tiffany's remarks, and said :
s.I have never in my lifetime worked over
eight hours. We have too many tramps
in the country nows made by long hours OF

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 4-fSpecial. l.
The Senate today had very instructive
debate on the question OF gun factory on
the Pacific coast. and finally defeated the
proposition by vote of p to %. The SUBJ
ject has been prominently in the minds of
the senators because of the incident by
which Senator Mitchell got the Benicia
site under consideration. This site was
favored by the commission, and strongly
opposed by some, who believed that other
points on the Coast had greater induce
ments to offer. Today Senator Dolph pre-
sented an amendment to the fertilization
bill authorizing new commission to select
the site and appropriating 81 900, 900 to build
the factory. In support /of this the
oregon senator made an appeal for the
Pacific coast, holding that it was entitled
to share OF the benefit coming from the
manufacture of ordnance, and setting
forth the facilities for an enterprise of this
nature.
The debate that followed brought out
the statement that the government can
not afford to construct such expensive
plants, nor the manufacture of such an
unlimited number of guns. 1t was said
that the better system would be to induce
private concerns or individuals to perfect
plans and turn out these guns as part of
that product. Considerable feeling was
stirred up between the senator's from the
East and West, the West holding that it
had been sighted in the apportionment
of government appropriations. 1t is likely
that the defeat of Senator Dolphs' propo-
sitlon may be the last of the gun factory
on the Pacific coast
Mr.. Dolph has never been in favor of
Benieia for the factory, and recently inti-
mated with other Northern senator's, he
would ask for all the papers of the old
commission, intending to prove by this
that other points further to the north had
better claims, based on natural adj
vantages, than Benicia

McAdoo Wants Canada Annexed-DipIo
matte Appropriation Passed.


WAsHINGToN City, Feb. 4.-In the House
Mckinley asked unanimous consent that
during the remainder of the session the
House meet at IL O'Clock, but Rogers of
Arkansas objected.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill. During the debate on
the bill McAdoo of New Jersey gave his
assent to the position taken by the secre-
tary of state, relative to reciprocity with
Canada. The United States should have
unrestricted trade and commercial union
with Canada, or it should have no COM
mereial relation with her. The only solu-
tion of the problem, a solution unsought
by the United Statesy was that the people
of Canada should in their sovereignty ask
for annexation, which was the ultimate
destiny of Canada. The bill, after further
discussion, was laid aside with favorable
recommendation and the committee pro-
ceeded 10 the consideration of the sundry
civil appropriation bill.
Chandler spoke in favor of the amend
ment instructing the secretary of the treas
ury not TO approve payment of any expense
attendant upon the meeting of the World s
Columbian commission or board of lady
managers except such meetings as may be
called at the time of the dedication and
opening of the World fair. Pending fur
ther discussion the committee rose and the
diplomatic appropriation bill was passed.

Concerning Forfeited Grants.


Concerning Forfeited Grants.
WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 4--[Special. +
Land Commissioner Croft today sent in
structions to registers and receivers in
Washington and Oregon, with regard to
overlapping lands in the grants to the
Northern Pacific road which was con-
structed from Wallula to Puget sound, and
those which were forfeited by the act of
last session. The lands lie in the Walla
Walla, Vancouver, North Yakima and The
Dalles land districts. The commissioner
says with such overlap the grant is of a
moiety on account of each line, and with
the approval of the secretary of the inter-
ior the company was called upon to desig-
nate which of the alternate odd-numbered
sections it would take in satisfaction of
the moiety earned by the construction of
the branch line, so that the remaining land
might be restored. The company has
taken generally sections 1, 5, o, Is, Ii, 21,
25, % and 80, and the sections so desig-
mated are withdrawn from settlement or
operation of the forfeiture act. A small
part only of the overlap is found in the
Walia Walla and Vancouver districts, but
considerable amount in The Dalles and
North Yakima districts. Along the grant
from Wallulu to Puget sound the company
will get half of the odd-numbered sections
where the lines of the main line over
