Liver and Bladder Cure. [ am now 63
years old, and have suffered almost death
for about three years. | had given up to
die, but as profess to be Christian man
and great believer in the prayer Of the
righteous, | prayed that God would send
something that would prolong my life, and
[ feel thankful to him and you for the means
that was sent. May God spare your life
many years yet that you may hear the great
good that your medicine is doing. On the

half hour.

ing sensation. Would urlnate sometimes a
gallon night; then it seemed my kidneys

There Is more catarrn III this section OF thu
country than all other diseases put together

be inCurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease. and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing tc
cure with local treatment, pronounced u -
durable. Science has proven catarrh 10 be-
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure

Those who try Swamp-Root have geuer'
ally first employed the family physician, or
used all the prescriptions within reach with
out benefit. AS last resort. when their
case has become chronic, the symptoms conf
plicated and their constitution run down,
then they take this remedy, and it Is just
such cases and cures as the one above that
have made Swamp Root famous and given
it a worldwide reputation.

THE BERING SEA DISPUTE.
Lord Salisbury Has Arranged to Accep
mr.. Blains's Plan.


mr.. Blains's Plan.
WASHINGTON, January 12.-The Ber-
Ing Sea question was before the Cabinet
meeting to-day. 1t is understood the
case has taken a favorable turn within
the past few days and that Secretary
Blaine has been advised that Lord Sal
iSbury will agree to his suggestion as to
selecting three of the arbltrators from
the countries which have no interest
whatever in the question at
issue. When these three neu-
tral arbitratOrs have been agreed
upon, there need be no further delay in
deciding on the personnel of the tribu-
nal, ii already having been arranged
that the United States and Great Britain.
shall each have the appointment of two
members. Another point settled is that
one OF Great Britair's representatives
shall be resident of Canada.
The prospects are that one of the
arbitrators on the part of the United
States will be selected from the Repub-
lican party and the other from the
Democratic party. Hon. Edward NJ.
Phelps, eX-MiniSter to England, is men
toned as most likely to be one of the
aroitratOrs on the part of the United
States.

SHORT AND SWEET.
The Senate and Eouse Have Short Sessions
and Do Little Business.


WASHINGTON, D. c., January 12.-In
the Senate to-day many petitions in
favor of the loan Of five millions to the
Worlds Fair on condition Of its being
kept closed on Sunday, were presented
and referred.
Mr.. Dolph, from the Committee on
Coast DefenSes, reported bill for the
purchase of sites for Notifications; also
a bin providing fortifcations and other
sea coast defenSes, and they were placed
on the calendar.
Mr.. Berry, q member OF the Commit
tee on Coast DefenseS, said that he dis
Sented from the report on the latter bill,
which appropriated S123, 600, 600 extend
ing over a period Of eleven years. In
view of the fact that the revenues OF
the Government were hardly sufficient
10 meet the ordinary expenditures, and
in view OF the further fact that there
was an almost universal demand for re-
lief from excessive taxation he had not
been willing to report in favor Of bill
carrying such a very large approprl-
alton.
Mr.. Chiffon, another member OF the
committee on coast defenSeS said that
he concurred with Mr.. Berry in his
opinion as to the report. The Senate
then took up the calendar and passed
the following bills: Appropriating
500, 900 for a public building at Brad
ford, Pa, appropriating S325,0OO for
the construction Of two United States
revenue cutters for services on the Pa
cifC coast. After a short executive
session the Senate adjourned.
