He thought it not unlikely that congress
might remain in session with a view of
assisting the executive as far as lay in
talk
Two things. however, are considered
as certain. One is that congress will not
adjourn tomorrow as expected and Sec
ondly that the announcement of the COM
mittees will be made shortly after the
House meets. The Presidents message
will first be laid before the House. and
after the committees have been made
public It will be referred to the ways
and means committee. Beyond this
course is a. mere speculation. The speak
er himself has formulated no programme.

hours tonight with two prominent re-

Other gentleman called later in the even
ing, among them Senators Platt of Con-
necticut and Chandler Of New Hamp-
shire, who also discussed the situation.
There will doubtless be another conference
between Speaker Reed and others of his
party associates at the capitol tomorrow
forenoon at which further interchange
of opinion will follow and at which some
definite plan of action may be agreed upon.
Some OF the members regard ii as folly
to remain continuously in session during
the holidays season, and these will use
their influence to secure a recess not later
than Tuesday next, until New Y Tears S. They
argue that the better plan is to return
home and consult with their constituents,
so that upon reassembling their work can
be more intelligently performed Those
who argue thus condemn the Presidents s
message in strong terms. They contend
that it would have been wiser to have
consulted with a few leading senators and
representatives Of both parties, represent
the condition of the treasury and secure
their cooperation against any adjourn
ment for the holidays. This 1t is claimed
could have been easily done, thus spar
ing the country the shock which they as
sert it will naturally experience upon the
receipt of the message.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2O.-The strike of the
Union Traction Company employees has
been declared off.
Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. q. a. m.-The
strike situation is in a worse muddle than
ever from all appearances.
At 1 o'clock this morning it was an
nounced that a proposition submitted to
the mayor by the Rev Dr. Baker and
George Griffith, representing the Christian
League, had been laid before Mr.. Welsh
Union Traction Company. The PROPOSE

back and return to their work and peace

laid 1t before the executive committee of
the strike board, and the committee at
once accepted it. The committee there
report for duty tomorrow morning.
Manager Beetem of the Union Traction
Company answered a telephone call at
80 O'Clock and denied absolutely that
the Union Traction Company had made
any such proposition or would come to
any such understanding with its former
employees. He said that if the committee
had declared the strike off it was because
they were beaten at every turn. The
outcome of this singular complication
must be awaited this morning."

Senator Chandler, and l congratulate the

But the senator from New Hamp-
shire has not answered my question: in

the colloquy was lost IN the laughter that
followed.
1t Is evident that Senator Tillman does
not like to be classed as a populist and he
has purged himself of that charge by at
tending the democratic caucus. Senator
Chandler may or may not have been
aware of the latter fact but he put the
laugh on the senator from South Caro-
lima, and that was what he was after.

A THOROUGH, SYSTEMATIC COCRSI
Of Treatment Is Necessary to D..
manently Cure Catarrh.
The Copeland Treatment Has Passed the Period Experiment
Testimony Friends and Neynn
Month Treatment and Medicines. W :

Week after week Drs. Copeland and
Provost publish statements of persons
well kncwn-your friends and neighhors-
who have been cured OF that loathsome
and insidious disease, catarrh- The testi-
mony thus submitted should satisfy the
most skeptical of the permanent results
where patients follow out a thorough and
systematic course OF treatment TO the end.
especially during the favorable season
ana until the tissues are brought TO a
perfectly healthy condition.
The great difficulty DrS. Copeland ana
Provost have TO contend with is that
majority or patients are satisfied II they
get temporary relief from their most dis
tressing symptoms, and viii not take the
time or have the patience to follow up the
treatment long enough to obtain perTna-
nent cure: The result is, in few months,
or with the advent of winter, the trouble
returns again, and many are unjust
enough TO blame the doctors and condemn
their method of treatment.
Again, quite number of patients VIII
take but one months treatment, and II
positive results are not noticed In that
time they. too, condemn the treatment as
not beneficial Drs. Copeland and Provost
repeatedly urge the necessity for continu-
Gus and systematic treatment during the
favorable season. and where patients nave
followed their instructions closely, have al
ways been pleased with the ultimate re-
suits.
These are hard times for every one. the
wage-worker, the merchant, the profess
sional man. the manufacturer etc. 1t is
every ones desire TO make a dollar go as
far as possible and to make no expert
ments. Drs. Copeland and Provost recog-
nize the fact that there are hundreds in
this community who are actually suffer-
ing for need Of medical attendance. but
they haven't the money to spare 10 exper-
iment with. These persons reason thus:
az know I need treatment. and If / was
positive l could be benefited I wouldn't
hesitate minute to take treatment, but
1 cannot afford to spend the money and
not be helped
To these patients Drs. Copeland and Pre-
vost's method OF treatment particularly
recommends itself. 1t has passed the
period of experiment and is based upon
sound physiological and therapeutical
principals. Drs. Copeland and Provost
point with pride TO the many permanent
cures they have made. the like of which
has never been known in the history Of
medical practice.

THE FIRST FAILURE.

The new Ammen ram, Katahdin,
made record of 1913 knots. The speed
required by the contract was II knots.
The navy department. therefore, re-
fuses to accept the new vessel. and the
whole matter has been turned over to
the president for settlement. The Ka-
tahdin is the first craft built for the
new navy that has not come up to the
specifications. 1t is probable that a
strong effort Will be made to get the
government TO accept her. but tho en-
deavors should be unsuccessful The
plans we're open to competitive bidding
and the Bath Iron Works, when 1t took
the contract. knew its liability, and pre-
sumably agreed TO take all the risks.
Without such an understanding. OF
course. the letting OF all government
contracts would be a farce.
While ii will not help matters. the
fact remains that the rejection of the
new vessel will work a hardship of 10
small magnitude on the Maine ship
building company The Katahdin was an
experimental vessel Nothing like her
has ever been built before. and just how
she would act has been largely a matter
of speculation. Her design was novel.
and 1t is possibly true that her failure to
make the required speed is a. much the
fault of the government designers as of
the contractors. There Is no doubt the
designs furnished have been faithfully
wrought out. but the contractors agreed
10 take them and turn out 11-knot yes
sci. and II they have not done It, OF
course. upon them will rest the burden of
the failure.
II Is by no means certain that the gov
eminent VIII not be- able 70 make some
use OF the Katahdin. As a matter Of
fact. she fell only 500 OF a knot be-
low the requirements and without doubt
would yet prove very scrviceable ves-
sci for the purposes for which she was
designed. For one thing. she contains
$4,000 worth OF United States armor
that Is available for no other purpose
That In itself makes her Of some value
20 the government There Is no doubt
the ram Is splcndidly constructed and IS
a formidable war vessel even though
a fraction OF knot slow. II the navy
department can get her at dis
count. perhaps IL would be a good bar
gain. The government VIII not. OF
course. pay the contract price. or any
thing near IT. and the contractors can
not expect 81. but allowing them q com
promise figure which represents what
! she Is actually worth 70 The government
/ might not re out 81 place, This would
naturally relieve TIE builders from enov-
nous loss and the government would
rot be a loser BY the transaction.

THE corNcIL,s RoGIEs.

Although attention has been diverted a
little from the main proposition in the
controversy "a 20 whether there have
been secret meetings OF the fire and water
committees OF the council. that phase Of
IL cuts no figure The sole question for
the people TO consider is the wisdom OK
the project. Nobody need care what
form the discussions took while II was
being formulated: what the people want
TO know is why on earth the city should
deliberately and with It's eyes wide open
blunder into more Indebtedness.
The members Of the city council are
honorable men. Throughout their entire
term OF Office there has never been the
falntest suspicion of jobbery. The fact Is
that the council is composed Of as fair
an average OF good citizens as Will ever
be likely to administer the eity's affairs.
and while the Post-Intelligencer feels
constrained to criticise their judgment in
this matter. Il will warmly defend them
against any aspersions upon their integ-
rlty.
The truth seems to be that some OF the
members thought they saw chance TO
secure a coup detat which should send
them spinning down the gallery of
fame shimmering In a phosphorescent
blaze of glory, and landing them with
triumphal bang right at the threshold
of the mayoraity chair. IL the city were
not so deeply in debt, IL a great public
necessity stared US in the face, If by the
new scheme we could rid ourselves Of
the present obligations. the HAPPY
thought of the fire and water committee
would have a ready welcome. But we
are deeply in debt. no urgency confronts
US, and we can not avoid paying what
we already owe.
SO far,as any private corporation Is con-
corned. the city can effectually check IL by
acquiring the necessary land and water
rights. Just as the committee proposes TO
do II ii hands as over 10 contracting syndi-
Gates. Il VIII be remembered that the cost
Of the land Is not Included IN the proposed
debt. but is to be betrayed b. other means.
Suppose, Notwithstanding this, the cor
poration should be able 10 control some OF

tary wire except by permission OF the city
council. The city is as secure, If the coun-
ell does its duty. against any corporation
coming into the city limits as il every
avenue were personally defended by Hora-
ito elise, Spurius Lartius Hurd and Ar

Calling guns. The people may well fear
debt, but they need not be scared by bogies.
