WASHINGTON, March Sin the senate
today the Bland seign;orage bill came
up as unfinished business, pending the
question Of Allison's motion TO recon
slider the vote by which the bill passed
to the third reading. Harris announced
that the bill obtained place in regular
order and should not be changed with
out vots. Sherman began 3 speech
on the bill.
Sherman said that although there WAS
confidence in the money of the United
States, yet the addition of $50, ,0O0, 900 Of
practically paper issues might cause
grave approximations. He was OCCASION
ally interrupted by Teller during his re-
marks.
Sherman, with an ominous frown on
his brow and speaking in an earnest,
determined tone, reiterated the hope
that the motion of Senator Allison
would prevail, for there was no disposi-
tion on his eide of the chamber to pre-
vent the passage of the bill.
He was followed by Senstors Lodge
and Higgins. The bill went over with
out action until tomorrow, when vote
will be taken.
The senate passed the bill for the sale
of unsold portions of the UmAtilla reser-
walton in Oregon.
The senate adjourned after brief ex-
ecutive session.
The resignation of Senator White of
Louisiana to take effect March 18th,

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.
It's 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; effectually 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
news, 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

INSANE CRIMINALS.

Counties Must Pay for Their Care and
Clothing.
STOCKTON, March 8.-Under an old
law providing for charging counties for
the care and clothing furnished insane
criminals, the asylum authorities have
made out claims against several coun-
ties, aggregating $40. .365, but it Is
thought that not more than $400 can be
collected for any one patient for two
years, as the statute of limitations will
bar any further charge. The bills now
in the hands of the attorney of the
board OF directors for collection are these :
Sacramento county, SIS, for All Jim !;
Mariposa. $500, for Caesar Vuillsmin,
murder; Los Angeles, s875 for All Len,
murder; Santa Clara, sI105 for Thomas
Lspan. wife murderer San Bernardino,
$1915, for Albert Beny; San Francisco,
$1430. for b. Mahoney; Yolo, $3.50, for
Thomas Whalen; San Joaquin, 1915,
The supervisors OF this county allowed
the claim and the next day reconsidersd
the vote and will test the matter in the
courts.

President Reinhart and ice-Prssident
Crocksr 60 Meet aud Adjust Dif-

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN Francisco, March S.-The Call
says the recent difficulties which have
arisen between tbe Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific
railways, which resulted in rate war,
are about to be overcome and rates are
to be restored to their former standard.
President Reinhart OF the Santa Fe and
thesvics-prseident OF the Southern Pacific
have been in active telegraphic commu-
nication on the subject, with the result
that it is mutually agreed to discontinue
the war. and as soon IS possible to dis
cuss and remedy the differences which
have existed, when meeting can be
arranged between the two gentlemen
named. President Reinhart OF the
Santa Fe is expected to visit San Fran
cisco sometime in April, but there 10
possibility that Vice. President CIocker
of the Southern Pacific will take a trip
to Chicago before that time. Rates will
probably be restored as soon as the pro-
visiona OF the interstate commerce law
have been observed.
The Chronicle says: There seems to be
some possibility that the Southern Pa
cifc may be unable to control its allies.
In that event the Santa Fe will win its
fight. The withdrawal of the Santa Fe
from the Western Passenger association,
and its threat to demoralize rates east OF
the Missouri river, have brought food
of kilograms from Iowa lines, asking
that some agreement be reached. These
roads. it is believed, will exert a strong
pressure on the Southern Pacific to
compromise with the Santa Fe. The
roads involved are the Rock Island, the
Chicago and Northwestern, the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and in fact all
the lines leading west OF Chicago. This
threat to cut rates east of the river has
been used before to advantage by the
Santa Fe. 1t is believed that If the war
Is actually carried into that territory, as
low rate as that of 1886, when tickets
from California to Chicago were bull
letined at S., may be reached. The Santa
Fe's El PaHo cut goes into effect today.
The rate applies only one way, west
bound, and is fixed at $40 from El Paso
and Deming to Mojave and Los Angeles.

the United States in Central America,
and that the correspondence will
include matters OF a later date
than the brief report from Minister
Baker OF the landing OF British
troops. 1t is still hoped the conditions
have been misstatad, and the troops
landed solely TO protect the lives and
property Of British subjects, instead OF
for the purpose of interfering between
the Nicaragua and Mosquito governments.
But there is no disposition to disguise
the real gravity OF the incident, for
although the British have often talked
OF their rights of protectorate, and
even threatened It, it never in this CEN
tury came to pass that British troops
were actually landed in Central Amer
lea since the assertion OF the Monroe
doctrine, TO assert protectorate.

MURDER OR sUIoIDE4


Did Miss Aldersley Meet Addie GIL
mour's Fate?
SAN Francisco, March S.-Dr. James
L. Lsek, who with Miss Alice Aldersley,
was found in an unconscious condition
in the formers apartments last Monday,
suffering from the effects OF poison
which proved fatal in the case of Mics
Alderseley, recovered sufficiently tonight
to tell his side Of the story to reporter.
DR.. Leek said that on Saturday night
Mics Alderseley accompanied him to the
theater; that after leaving the theater
he purchased bottle OF cherry pectoral
and the pair went to his apartments,
where they spent the night. During the
following night, which they also spent
together, Miss Alderseley got up and pre-
pared dose OF cherry pectoral, which
was psrtaken OF by both. Shortly after,
the girl becsme unconscious, and as she
-ehowed symptoms OF fits which she was
subject to, Leek got up and securing a
bottle OF ammonia, attempted to restore
her, but while doing 80 he became un-
conscious also. Lsek says Mas AL
dersley was in a delicate condition and
was insanely jealous of lady to whom
he was engaged to be married.
W. X. Aldersley, father OF the dead
girl, insists that she did not commit
suicide and thinks that DR.. Leek's ill
ness ia a sham to keep Miss Aldersley's
relatives from seeing him.
DIR. J. A. Noble says that on the night
OF February Goth, DR.. Leek rushed into
his Office for medical aid for Miss AL
dersley. DR.. Noble found the girl iE an
unconscious condition and restored her
with difficulty. Leek said the girls
condition then was owing TO hYsteria,
but DR.. Noble says he thinks poison had
been administered TO her,

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The sensations
al trial OF the suit of Madeline V. Pol
land against Congressman W. @. P.
Breckenridge of Kentucky, for seduction
and breach OF promise of marriage and
$4,000 damages opened this morning
in the district court, Judge Andrew @.
Bradley presiding. Long before the
time for the court to open the corridors
adjacent to the court room ewarmed
with men and women endeavoring by
every device to pass the doorkeeperH.
The spectators were disappointed by
the non-appearance OF the fair COM
plainant, but it is understood she will
be on hand at future sessions. Breckin-
ridge appeared, smiling and apparently
at ease. For the complainant Judge
Jere Wilson and Calderon Car
lisle, two OF Washington's best
known attorneys, appeared. Colonel
Breckinridge will probably take lead
ing part in his own defense, assisted by
Ben Butterworth and Col. Phil Thomp-
son, though the latter was temporarily
represented today by W. F. Mattingly.
When court opened, MsttingIy inquired
in regard to certain depositions taken
for plaintiff which had been removed
from the files. Carlisle replied that liv.
ing witnesses will be produced instead
Wilson gave notice that the plaintiff
would object to all dispositions for the
defendant, on the ground that they were
irrelevant and of hearsay nature. Tn en
a panel OF jurors was submitted to coun
sci. After a number had been excused
a motion was made on behalf OF Breck-
inridge for an adjournment till tomor
row, to allow counsel time to examine 6
mass of affidavits which had just ar
rived. The request was granted anC
