TREATY CONFIRMED.
Senate Puts the seal on Negotia-
tions With Japan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The senate
went into executive session at 2 O'Clock
today for the consideration of the jap
anese treaty, and the debate was i'm
medlately taken up where it was left off
when the subject was last under con-
sideration ten days ago. There was a
running debate, in which almost the
entire senate participated, and it soon
became evident that the senators who
had objected to the treaty in its present
form would continue to urge them until
the treaty should be amended or ratified
over their objections.
The executive session continued for
two hours, and resulted in the ratilica-
ton Of the treaty with an amendment
striking out the time limit. The treaty
as presented to the senate provides
that it should 90 into effect after five
years, and that, after remaining in
effect for ten years, it could be
abrogated by either party to it
after years notice. Senator Lindsay
offered an amendment striking out the
ten years provision as substitute for
Senator Frye's amendment, which was
directed at preserving the American
right to impose discriminating duties i'll
case of goods carried in Amerlcon ships.
The Frye amendment had been the
bone of contention during the entire
session, as it was in the previous seS-
sion devoted to this treaty, but it was
at once recognized that the Lindsay
substitute would cover the entire Ques-
ton, and it was accepted without Ques-
lon by those who had contended for the
Frye resolution as solution of the ell
tire problem, i'll thas it afforded means
Of securing relief i'll that or any other
direction in case it should be necessary,
The amendment met with little OppoSi-
ton, and was agreed TO without a diYi
sion. The ratification Of the treaty
speedily followed, and this was also ac-
cOmplished without yea and nay vote.

NO SURGERY.
A Discovery which Will Interest,"
and Benefit Thousands.
1T REMOVES THE NECESSITY GR
DARBAROUS SURGICAL
OPERATIONS.
Statements From Those Who Have
Tested 1t.

Modern medical science and skill has
at last succeeded in producing a rem
edy which effectually cures that COM
mon, but extremely annoying trouble,
piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the remedy
referred to and repeated and thorough
trials of the remedy during the past
three years have demonstrated that it
is the long sought for remedy which
can be depended upon as a genuine
cure. There are many remedies which
give relief, but such relief is only tenn
porary and the trouble soon returns.
as bad or worse than ever. But the
Pyramid Pile Cure stands practically
alone as a lasting cure. 1t not only
gives immediate relief but the relief is
there to stay
Mr.. j. w. Rollins, a gentleman living
at Sweet Springs, Mo-, writes briefly
and to the point regarding his expert
ence with Piles, he says: L consider
the Pyramid Pile Cure without an
equal. 1t cured me in less than thirty
days. 1 waited fifteen days or more
to be sure the remedy had fully cured
me before writing you. 1 can now say
[ am cured and 1 shall recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure at every possible
opportunity because it deserves it.
We quote from this gentleman's let
ter to show our readers how promptly
the remedy acts and also that there is
no return of the trouble.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is simple and
harmless, containing purely vegetable
ingredients and can be used in all cases
with perfect safety and with the assur-
ance that cure will follow. Physicians
prescribe it and use it in all cases of
piles in preference to the danger and
uncertainty of surgical operation. 1t
cures without pain or inconvenience Of
any kind.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by the Pyramid Drug Co. of Albion,
Mich, and sold by druggists every
where, the safest, surest. cheapest Pile
Cure before the public and one you can
try with almost certain success.

REILLY BLL TOO SEVERE
To Suit the English Stockholders
OF the Central Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Jan. so. - Sir Rivers
Wilson was brought before the senate
committee on Pacific railroads, and
made an argument as the representative
of the English bondholders and stock
holders of the Central Pacific railroad in
favor of the readjustment of the in-
debtedness of that company. He de-
clared that the continued existence of
the company would be doubtful under
the provisions of the Reilly bill, and
urged more liberal legislation. He did
not present any direct proposition. bat
intiinated that the Frye bill OF the Fifty
first congress, which refunds the entire
indebtedness of the Pacific roads for
fifty years at the rate Of per cent inter
est, would be acceptable. He said that
taking the past five years the net aver
age receipts of the Central Pacific had
exceeded the charges by about S1,500,OJ0
per annum, and that sum would be
sufficient to meet interest and keep the
sinking fund repIenished. The COM
mlttee took no action, and there was
but brief exchange of views after Mir.
Wilson concluded.

DOES THE CHICoRA FLOAT?
Friends OF the Crew Refuse to
Despair.


ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Jan. 30.-Belief
that the hull of the steamer Chcora is
still atloat is daily strengthening here,
and that sooner or later it will be found.
That all aboard her when she started
on her fatal cruise are alive, is not en-
tertained even as last hope, though it
is believed that some word will reach
sh ore if the weather moderates suf-
ficiently to send out relief. The fact
that her aft spar was cut down clearly
shows that some of the crew were
aboard after the upper work had gone.
OF course the upper works being gone,
the smOkeStacK, too. must have gone,
allow ing the sea to run in and put out
the fire, but with the pumps that water
could be gotten rid of. That the water
could not get further than the engine
room, is argued by marine men. because
of the -four being in sacks all around
her. and what water would get in would
wet the -four, then freeze, and the mass
of flour would serve as bulwarks. This
is the theory that great many people
base their belief on that the hull is still
a11oat.
When the upper decks were blown
off, the anchors were released, and no
one being at the lever to control them,
the full chain ran out, which was S25
feet to each anchor, enough almost to
reach any place and securely anchor
her, and that she will be found so is
firmly believed.
A marine man from Grand Haven who
passed through here this morning de-
MES that the spar shows any evidence
Of having been cut and st0utly main
tainS that it was broken. The probable
loss of the Chlcora and the terrible mys.
terry of her present whereabouts has
been source of keenest grief over the
twin cities, so greatly were the officers
and crew held in esteem, and every one
feels it is personal loss.
The Petosky is still fast in the ice and
all efforts to release her have proved
futile, as the ice is firm as far out as

SPAIN COMES TO TIME.
Trouble Over Cuban Duties Prac.
ficalIy Ended.

fiCaiiy Ended.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The state de-
partment has been informed by United
States Minister Taylor, at Madrid. that
the Spanish senate has passed modus
vivendi placing the United States again
in the most favored nation column as to
duties on imports into Cuba and Porto
Rico. The bill yet remains 10 DC signed
b.. the queen. but it is believed that two
days will suffice for the completion OF
all formalities. and that the United
States will be given the advantage of
the Old rates Immediately. This re-
stores the customs rates under which
the United States has enjoyed large
trade i'll flour, breadstutfS, lard and
other products with Cuba and Porto
Rico.
1t Is hoped that within day or two
American commerce will once more en-
Joy the benefits of the old and low rates.
The basis of the modus yivendi is as
follows:
Article 1. The government is author
lied to apply to the products and man.
ufactures of the United States which
proceeding from the ports of the said
states may he admitted into those OF
Cuba and Porto Rico, the second coll
umn of the tariff i'll force in the same, in
exchange for the application by the
United States of its lowest tariff on the
products Of the soil aud of the industry
of Cuba and Porto Rico. This modus
vivendi will continue until a definite
treaty may be executed between the
two parties interested, or until one of
of them announces to the other after
three months notice the day upon
which it desires to terminate it.
AS Spain already enjoys the benefit
of our lowest duties, the stipulation in
the modus in her favor is doubtless in
tended to prevent the imposition by the
United States of the 10 per cent dis

BOATNER'S BILL PREFERRED.
Opposition to the Reilly Pacific
Railroad Bill is Strong.

-
WASHINGTON, Jan. 50.-The Western
representatives who are working against
the Reilly Pacific railroad bill have
practically come to an understanding
that they will support Representative
Boatner's bill for Pacific railroad COM
mission, provided lie will amend it in
one important particular. The feature
which they oppose is that which pro-
vides that the purchasers, ID case the
roads are sold under foreclosure, shall
assume all debts of the old companies.
and shall give tile United States mort
gage Oh the property payable in fifty
years at per cent. They object TO the
road bearing so large capitalization.
as they say the Western states will
have to bear the burden in high traffic
rates. There is possibility that Mr..
BOatner will accept the wishes by Strik-
ing out this section, leaving that feature
open to future legislation. In that
event the Californians will support the
Boatner plan, if they think there is a
fair chance to block the Reilly bill. 1t
is understood that they prefer there
should be no legislation. and that the
government should foreclose in case the
roads default in payment OF their bonds.
