The Bankruptcy Bill.

The Senate Committee on Judic-
iary, at its meeting yesterday, had
the bankruptcy bill under discuss
ion, and while no decision was reach
'ed, a general disposition was mani
fest to report bankruptcy bill.
There was a difference of opinion as
to whether the bill to be reported
should provide for both voluntary
and involuntary bankruptcy or
simply for voluntary bankruptcy.
There was also a discussion as to
what act on the part of the person
shall constitute bankruptcy The
bill before the committee provides
that failure to meet note due
shall be sufficient, but some of the
members of the committee were not
satisfied with the definition of the
requirements, and a subcommittee
consisting OF Senators George, Villas
and Hoar was appointed to investi-
grte this question and to report to
the full committee at a future
meeting.

Crossing the Atlantic

Usually involves sea sickness. When
the waves play pitch and toss with
you, strong indeed must be the
stomach that can stand it without
revolving Tourists, commercial
travellers, yachtsmen, marineas, all
testify that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the best remedy for the
nausea experienced in rough wealth
er on the water. Nervous and weak
ly travellers by land often suffer
from something akin to this, and
find in bitters it's surest remedy. No
disorder of the stomach, liver or
bowels is so obstinate that it may
not be overcome by the prompt and
thorough remedy. Equally effica-
cious it is for the chills and fever,
kidney and rheumatic trouble and
nervousness. Emigrants to the
frontier should provide themselves
with this fine medicinal safeguard

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs,
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efeCtually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

CALDWELL CALLED HIM.

OMAHA, March 28,-In the hear
ing of the Union Pacific Gulf case
before Judges Caldwell and Sanborn
today Attorney Hobson started to
show that the Union Pacific was
not a bankrupt road, but that on the
first of January of the present year
it was in a hourishing condition.
When he began to quote figures to
sustain his contention Judge Cald-
well interrupted and inquired why,
if the facts were as stated, Mr.,
Hobson did not bring proceedings
to have the receiyership set aside,
The Attorney replied that he was
not attacking the receivership but
he wished to show that the road
was perfectly solvent, and therefore
able to carry out the contracts en-
tered into with the Gulf Company,
He asserted that there had been no
failure on the part of the Union
Pacific to pay interest obligations
on the main line when due. He al
legged that when default was immi-

such purposes and brought out

WASHINGTON NOTES.
News of Important Events at the
National Capital,

National Capital,
From all present indications it
would appear that Secretary Carl
isle, had undergone complete
change of mind as regards the
seigniorage bill, and is now advis-
ing the President to sign it, not
withstanding the assurances given
by him to the New York bankers,
who foated his bonds, that there
would be no more silver legislation
by this congress. Mr.. Carlisle's po-
sition is purely political. He ar
CUES that the apprehension that
the approval of this bill will impair
the credit of the government and
precipitate a heavy demandfor gold
is greatly exaggerated, and that it
would be much better for the coun-
try to suffer whatever financial con-
vulsion may follow than to run the
risk of losing a Democratic majori-
ty in Congress. This is exactly the
position the President refuses to
take. so that Mr.. Carlisle cannot
have much influence with him. The
committee from the New York
bankers who are there watching the
presidents action say that Mr..
Carlisle will go elsewhere when he
wants to float another loan.
The full text of the new Chinese
treaty having been published, the
opposition to it's ratification has
been considerably modified and ev
en- Representative Geary of Califor-
MIA the author of the exclusion
law, is willing to admit that it is
not so bad a measure after all. The
protests, however, continue to pour
in from California and doubtless
will for some time. Senator White
of that state is now in San Francis
co, where he will have an oppor
tunity to confer with the people
and ascertain public opinion. Sena-
tor Perkins has not yet expressed
himself, but it is known that his
opposition, like that of Mr.. Geary,
has considerably moderated.
Disinterested people, at Washing
ton, commend Secretary Gresham
for having made a convention that
removes a stigma from the United
States in its treatment of the
Chinese and relieves us from an act
of national 'dishonor in passing laws
that were in direct violation of
solemn agreement which we as a
nation had previously made with
China, Judge Gresham, it is said,
has gone around that law and Sc
dured modification Of the treaty,
which it clearly violated, although
it should be said that the restric-
tions governing the landing of
Chinese in the United States are
not quite as severe in the treaty as
they are in the law.
The Supreme court has decided
that an act of congress passed sub
sequent to a treaty overrides any
stipulations the treaty may contain
and it may be assumed, on the 9th
er hand, that treaty stipulations
ratified subsequent to the passage
Of an act of congress must be rec
ognized in the same sense and for
the same reason. Therefore, if this
treaty is ratified the Geary law will
become a dead letter. No test of
the sentiment of the senate has yet
been made, but it is believed by the
treaty will ultimately be ratified.
Some of the Democrats, and par
ticularly the labor people, are Sc
verely criticising Judge Gresham,
and claim that he has been outwit-
ted by the Chinese minister.
