Senate Committee Showed No DISPOSE
tiOn to Accept His RecOmmendatiO tiOns.
At the morning meeting Of the Senate
finance committee the various propositions
embodied in the Jones. Vest. Mcpherson,
Smith and Sherman bills were gone over,
and there were some indications toward
the close OF the meeting that it might be
possible to secure a majority vote on
modification of the Jones bill. There was
no vote on any proposition, however. and
the expression Of opinion was not clear
enough to render it certain what would
be the outcome of the afternoon meeting,
the committee having agreed to meet again
at pm.
Mr. Jones told the committee that If
there was no decision on the lines of his
bill or any other measure, he would ask
leave to report his bill, that 1t might be
before the Senate for action. No. DISPOSE
ton was shown in committee to accept the
recommendations of the President, and
there was but slight reference to his mes
sage. The proposition outlined by him
for gold bonds was not received with favor
by majority of the democratic members,
and even the republican members appeared
averse to committing themselves to bonds
of such great duration as the President
recommends.
The republicans again indicated their
willingness to unite upon measure grant
ing authority for loan on notes of two or
three years time of sufficient volume to
relieve the treasury from its present dis
tress, but not to go farther at the present
time.

NEW YORK, January 29.-Michael S.
Considine who shot Broker John j. Ma
lone last night, was arraigned in the police
court today. He was self-possessed and
gave to a reporter the following story of
the events leading to the tragedy: Il had,
said Considine, known Malone for a num-
ber Of years, ard had some money which
had saved. I was working on salary, and
the prospect Of making more money out of
his nailless horseshoe scheme was very al
Turing to me. The agreement we had was
that was to let him have $500. and then
1 was to get so much Of it back every
week until the debt was Cancelled, and in
addition 1 was to hold half interest in
the horseshoe business. I have lately been
short and have been turned off every time
l spoke to him about money. Last Mon
day I told him that must have some
money, and he said that he would have
money to burn by night, and agreed to
meet me at the st. James Hotel before 8
o'clock. About a quarter-past Malone
came. and then the trouble between us oc
cured
At the hospital 1t was stated that Ma
lone was somewhat improved, but that his
condition was still very serious, and the
proba bilities are that he will die.

THE COLOMBIAN INSURRECTION.
A warshfp to BE Sent to Protect
American Interests.


The Secretary Of State has received a
telegram from Minister Mckinney at Bo-
gotta, saying briefly that an insurrection
has broken out in the United States of Co.
lcmbia, but giving no details. In order that
the interests of the United States In that
country may be properly protected during
the troubles now in progress Secretary
Herbert has directed that the U. s. S.
Ranger, which has just arrived at San
Diego, Cal, from San Francisco, be dis
patched to Buena Ventura, on the west
coast of Colombia, as soon as she can be
got ready. The Secretary has also ordered
the U. S. S. Alert, which accompanied the
Ranger from San Francisco, to continue
her cruise further south for the purpose
of visiting ports on the west coast Of Gen.
trail America, at several of which the in
terests of the United States are reported to
be in need of attention. AS fuI ther pre-
caution in this regard the y. S. S. Atlanta,
which has arrived at Colon from a cruise
to Honduras and Blueficlds, has been or
dered to remain in those waters for the
present for whatever service may be re-
quired of her. It is not apprehended that
United States interests are in any special
danger in the countries named, but the
warships are sent there in order to insure
their protection.

in effigy last night from the trolley wires
of the Union avenue line at the crossing
of Hamburg and Flushing avenues. From
the high tenements on either side dead cats
and dogs, old clothing and boots and shoes
were thrown across the wire. 1t kept

JAPANESE IN CHINA.

Reports Regarding the Fleet ut Wei
Hal Wei.
HIROSHIMA, January 29.-A dispatch
received here from the headquarters of the
Japanese army operating against the Chi
nese says that q strong force of the
enemy, which retreated from Yung Cheng
to the northwest without hghting, is Low
in the vicinity of Ku Shang Hon. Large
numbers of the enemy are reported to be
along the coast road from Yung Cheng.
The dispatch adds that it is now pos
sible to convey field guns three miles west
ward, but the roads are bad and 1t Is
difficult to repair them.
A telegram from the commander of the
second Japanese army announces that a
Chinese fugitive from Lierking Island, Off
Wei Hal Wei, reports that the Chinese
fleet inside that harbor numbers eight
warships, six gunboats and eleven torpedo
boats.
The hole which was knocked in the bot
tom of the Chinese battle ship Chen Yuen
when she grounded has been filled with
cement; but she will be unable to fire her
heavy guns. The repairs to the Lai Iuen,
the Chinese doubIe-screw armored cruiser,
are incomplete, and the Kang Chi has no
guns.
China's Naval Stronghold.
Wei-Hai-Wei, the Chinese naval strong
held on the Shangtuns promontory, Is COM
pletely surrounded. says the New York
Herald. The Japanese troops, 25,OO0 strong.
which were landed at iuns-Cheng, and the
other division, at Ning-Hai, are marching
slowly but steadily ON, the former east and
the latter from west. to attack the rear Of
Wei-Hai-Wei. adopting the same tactics as
they did at Port Arthur.
In front of Wei-Hai-Wei a formidable
fleet of twenty japanese cruisers and twen-
ty torpedo boats are watching both chan
neis OF the entrance of the port, to pOunce
upon the remnants of the Chinese Northern
squadron if it attempts to escape.
These warships, including the Chen-Yu
and the Ting-I Iuen, have been lying safely
sheltered within the harbor Of this naval
port since they escaped from Port Arthur,
ty order of Li-Hung-Chang, before the
Japanese commenced their attack there.
The Chinese fleet is evidently caught in a
trap, and the Chinese must either burn
their ships or fight their way out, which is
nest unlikely.
The third Janapese army, though it has
be Ell reported often either to have left
Japan or to have landed in the Shangtung
province, seems not to have been started
at all, but the bulk of the second army,
with the addition of few hrigades from
Lima, Japan, under Field Marshal Count
Oyama again in command. undertook the
task of the attack of this naval port. The
Chinese SO far have offered little resistance
since the Japanese landed. -

Like a Seive.

The chief function Of the kidneys is to
separate from the blood, in its passage
through them, of certain impurities and
watery particles which make their final
exit through the bladder. The retention of
these, in consequence of inactivity of the
kidneys, is productive of Bright's disease,
dropsy, diabetes, albuminuria and other NAL
aides with fatal tendencies. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, a highly sanctioned diuret-
ic and blood depurent, impels the kidneys
when inactive to renew their sitting function,
and strain from the vital current impurities
which infest it and threaten their own exist
ence as organs of the body Catarrh of the
bladder. gravel and retention of the urine
are also maladies arrested or averted by this
benign promoter and restorative of organic
action. Malaria, rheumatism, constipation,
billiousness and dyspepsia also yield to the
Bitters, which is also speedily beneficial to
the weak and nervous.
