Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll OF the nerve centers. located in or near
the base OF the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged- When 1t is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point. because the nerve force IS
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion. it will be understood how

Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base OF the brain, not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ 1t
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centerS which
are the cause Of the trouble.

CALLS THE BLUFF
And Forces nm Incontinent Back
down.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-This was
field day in the senate There was
maneuvering, marching, clashing and
rapid firing. The bugle notes of defiance
had sounded on both sides. Hostilities
did not actually begin, and it was ap-
parent that there was no intention that
they should begin. There were counter
marching, retreats and quick reforming
Of lines, leaving the contending armies
within the same Notifications and camp
ing on the same grounds as before.
When Mr.. Aldrich demanded that Mr..
Harris Of Tennessee speak for the demo-
criaio side and say whether or not the
democrats would vote on the tariff bill
as it now stood, at 3 o'clock, the interest
Of senators and spectators in the gallery
became intense.
All eyes conferred upon the sturdy,
white-haired senator from Tennessee, but
he did not reply. There were hurried
consultations and it was soon known
that the defiance of the republicans
would be hurled back and there was an
air of expectancy when Mr.. Lindsay
neared the end of his speech.
When he finished Mr.. Harris was on
his feet Immediately. and. although
others sought the floor. he was recog-
nized. In an intense and dramatic man.
ner he read the verbatim report Of the
cOlloquy between the Rhode Island and
Kentucky senator's ard himself and at
its conclusion he accepted the proposition
TO vote on the senate bill and followed
it up with a request for unanimous con-
sent for such a vote at 3 o'clock.
1t was at once apparent that Mr.
Aldrich did not intend to accept this
offer. Several republican senators
objected to the unanimous consent and
Mr. Adrich. with difficulty, received
recognition. He explained that while
he had offered 20 vote on the house bill.
he had only asked the democratic SEN
ators if they would vote on the senate
bill. Further than this he made the
proposition to the senate and not to a
democratic caucus, which he intimated
had been held since his proposition had
been made. He was accused Of backing
down and quibbling. and Senator White
Of California intimated that he had been
"bluffing" and had been called and
also said that the senator from Rhode
Island would probably understand the
terms. The senate and spectators knew
and an audible demonstration followed
the sally.
Mr.. Aldrich evidently knew what was
meant and replied by saying that it was
not common in places where the words
were applicable to allow the adversary
two hours to look over his hand before
making a CALL and that was what the
democratic senators had done.
Senator Teller stated his objections 10
a vote in vigorous terms, and in an allu-
sion to the compromise tariff bill brought
out a vigorous denial by Senator VOor-
hees that any such bill was i'm existence.
But the interest in the battle had dis
appeared, the bugle sounded a retreat
and the most dramatic incident Of the
senate tariff debate closed.

Miss spencer's Appointment is Disap-
proved.
BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL.

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL,
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 81.
The new pension agent for Indiana,
Mr.. Spencer, is having considerable
trouble with the disposition of the TWEEN
ty-eight clerkships under him. When he
secured the appointment an understand
ing between the two Indiana senators
was arrived at by which Mr. McNag-
nys district was to be given twenty
clerkships and the remaining eight were
TO be filled by selections by Senators
VOORHEES, and Turpie. The patronage of
the Office was conceded to Mr.. McNag-
ny because his district had been left out
in the cold in the distribution of the
big offices of the state However, Mr..
Cooper put in a claim for his own dis
trict which he claimed had not received
an appointment in the internal revenue
service. 1t appears he succeeded in Sc
curing a promise from Mr.. Spencer to
appoint two persons recommended by
him, Miss Fannie COyle of Johnson and
Coyle was appointed, but in course of
time Mr.. Cooper was notified by Mr..
Spencer that he had no room for Dun
can. Mr. Cooper would not be put off
IN that manner and he carried the mat
ter to the secretary of the Interior who
all his clerks from one district
The trouble did not end there. Mr.
Spencer appointed his own sister to a
clerkship and the secretary disapprOved
the appointment. Mr.. Spencer came over
TO ascertain the trouble and yesterday
was Informed by Secretary Smith that
he had issued an order some time ago
prohibiting pension agents and other Of
ficers from employing members of their
own families. This order had not been
issued to meet Mr.. SpenceT's case, but
the secretary's attention had been direct
ed to several cases existing in pension
offices under the last administration and
he desired to correct the evil. The pen
sion agent of New York had placed a
female member of his own family in Of
flee. but she did not perform much work.
She was absent in Europe nearly a year
while drawing her salary. He had no
doubt. however. that Miss Spencer was
competent and would attend to business,
but he thought a four-thousand-dollar
office ought to satisfy one family. He
said he desired the clerkships TO go to
democratic soldiers. He agreed to allow
Mr.. Spencer 70 retain his sister until
Aug. l. Then her place must be given
TO a democratic soldier or the widow of
a soldier
In the matter of nepotism. Mr. Spencer
did not go half so far as his republican
predecessor, Ensly, who had three mem
bers of his own family in office. His
son was chief clerk at $1,000 a year and
two daughters drew each 81 900. Mr..
Spencer left for Fl. Wayne today to be
on hand to vote at the city election. Be
fore departing Mr.. Cooper succeeded in
clinching the appointment Of Duncan to
a clerkship in the pension office. Dun
can is an old soldier and good demo-

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The prin-
cipal changes to be made in the tariff
bill, in accordance with the agreement
made today by the democratic senators.
are in the income tax and the sugar
schedule. The sugar men have been
from the first clamorous for an ad
valorem instead of a specific duty, and
that change has been conceded. The de-
tails haven't been absolutely fixed, but
there is little doubt that the sugar
schedule will be entirely supplanted by
a new one. which will provide a uniform
duty Of 40 per cent. ad valorem with
an addition of one-eights of a cent for
refined sugar.
The principal change in the income
tax is provision fixing the time that
the law shall remain in operation. This
is another matter of detail which has
not been absolutely agreed upon. 1t will
probably be about five or six years.
There will be no change in the rate Of
taxation, which will be left at per cent
on all amounts in excess of $4,000.
A number Of changes will be made in
the iron schedule. in which there will be
a slight advance over the rates fixed
secure an advance. In many cases the
rates fixed in the house bill will replace
those Of the bill reported TO the senate
by the finance committee.
Another material concession will be
made to the disafected senators will be
the restoration of the specific system In
many places where the finance commit
tee changed the house bill by the sub
stitution of ad valorem duty. The manu-
facturerS have made especial complaint
of the ad valorem system because Of the
opportunity which they say il offers for
fraud. Their senators have supported
them in this repr esentatiOn and the
finance committee, while still retaining
their confidence in the fairness Of ad
Valorem methods. have decided 70 yield
the point in many instances. for the
sake of harmony, and with the hope
of securing the support Of the united
party in the senate.
There will be no change in the rates
fixed on iron ore, lead ore or coal, and
wool will remain on the free list. The
whisky tax as reported by the finance
committee will also be undisturbed.
1t is understood that the entire demo-
cratic majority Of the finance commit
tee is in hearty accord upon the wis
dom of the proposed changes. Senator
Jones of Arkansas has taken the initia-
tive and formed the greater part of the
work i'm effecting the compromise by
getting the dissatisfied senators TO state
what they wanted and bringing them
together and also by securing the assent
and cooperation of the president and
Secretary Carlisle.
The conservatives, with the one ex-
ception of Senator Hill, who is absent
from the city, have been fully consulted
at the various stages of the negotiation,
and it is understood that with the
amendments added TO the bill it will re-
ceive their cordial support. They have
given assurance to this effect, and those
supposed to be authorized to speak for
Senator Hill say they also have assur-
ance of his support.

FREE WOOL.
senator Voorhees, Holds out No Hope
TO the Duty boomers.

The advocates of a duty on wool were
hopeful Of accomplishing something in
that direction as long as the democratic
senator's were not united in support of
the tariff bill, nut their hopes have been
much dampeled by the compromise
which has been virtually arranged by
the democrats. Senator Voorhees, has
written letter on the free wool question
TO Chicago friend, in which he says:
1t is my understanding that very few
carpet woods are produced in this country
and that they aggregate about three-fourths
of all the woods imported. If this be true
then as 10 carpet woods there could be no
disadvantage and must be a certain ad-
vantage to carpet manufacturers of the
country and the consumers of their goods
in free wool.
?. i am further advised that the largest
proportion of fine woods imported to this
country are woods which cannot be pro-
duced here, owing to climatic conditions,
and that they are essential to the manu-
facturers in the production of fine fabrics
II this be true they should also be admit
ted free of duty. This would leave nut
small proportion of woods which compete
at the present time with domestic woods.

story of his good fortune A few months

awaiting him and advised him to find
his half-brother. He found the missing
relative, William T. Phelps, in this city,
and on investigation they learned that
two uncles had died in San Francisco
some time ago without leaving wills,
and that the property which is said to
be worth about $1,000 900, has since been
in the care of The state. Mr.. Chase says
he and his half-brother expect to come
into possession of the estate soon.

HOW THE FUN BEGAN.
AIdrich Blufyed without Much Pre-
NiOns thinking.


It was not until 11:17 today that enough
senators were in their seats to make up
a quorum Mr.. Alien endeavored to
call up his Coxey resolution as unfin-
ished business, but Mr. Harris objected,
stating that there was no such thing as
unfinished business. The chair so ruled
Mr. Harris's motion to take up the tariff
bill was agreed too to 16. Mr.. Dolph
yielding to Mr.. Lindsay his right to the
floor, the Kentucky senator then spoke
in support of the tariff bill.
In the course Of Mr.. Lindsay's speech
a colloquy occurred in which Mr.. Sher-
man drew attention to the fact that the
Mckinley bill. instead of raising the
duty on iron. steel and all other metals
except tin plate. largely reduced the
duty and therefore, it was said, whether
right or wrong. that it was necessary TO
institute a reduction of wages which led
to the labor troubles at Homestead
Mr.. Lindsay agreed that the Mckinley
bill had reduced the duty on iron and
steel from the former tariff law and he
was aware that the manufacturers had
attributed the necessity for reducing the
wages to the reduction of duties. That
wasn't the real cause Of the reduction Of
wages. which was TO be found in the
natural desire of manufacturers to re-
duce wages without respect to the rates
Of duty
In reply to a question by Mr. Aldrich
as TO whether Senator Lindsay sub
scribed to the doctrine enunciated by Mr..
Mills that coffee, tea and sugar should
be taxed and the duty on iron and steel
reduced. EIr. Lindsay said he didn't
think Mr. Mills voiced the sentiment Of
the entire democratic party.
