Steps Looking to National Defense Outlined

Steps Looking to National Defense Outlined
by the nembers
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec. 1S.-Though
less than a dozen senators were present
when the session opened today, the Nene-
zuelan issue at once came into prominence,
but not directly as in the house, the SEN
ate's buainess taking the form of measures
for national defense
In presen ing bill for the repeal of the
law imposing disabilities on those who
served in the war of Che rebellion, Mr.. Hill
democrat, New York; spoke briefly. The
main purpose, he said, was to wipe out the
feature of the statute which prevented ex-
confederates from serving in the United
States navy and army.

ment," said Mr.. Hill, "that these men
from the south cooperate with those of
the north in giving the country any mill.
tary or naval defense that may be re-
quiTc1."
one, tending to obliterate the animosities
of war long ago closed. In conclusion,
Mr.. Hill asked that the rules be suspended
and the bill put on it's immediate passage.
Mr.. Piatt rep, Conn suggested that it
was rather novel procedure to ask the
senate TO pass measure of this character
before senators had considered the sub
ject.
"There is no immediate haste" said Mr..
Platt. "The country is not likely to have
war before congress reassembles after the
holidays. There may be no objection to
the repeal after it has been examined"
Mr.. Hill consented to let the bill 60 on
the table fer the present.
Senator Chandler introduced the follow.
ing bill, which, with others, will require
early consideration in case complications
reach mere acute stage:

authorized and directed to strengthen the

GROSS MiSMANAGEMENT
A Horrible State OF Affairs at the FoundiingS
Home

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 1S.-The investiga-
ton into the charges of alleged mismanage-
ment of the foundlings' home in this city,
conducted by DR.. Ruggies of the state
board of health, developed some rather
sensational testimony today.
Witnesses testified that the home was in
very unsanitary condition. One of the
former nurses said the place was fairly
alive with bedbugs. Tn her opinion the
large death rate was due to the filthy con-
dition of the nursery. The children were
dosed with gin nd opium to make them
sleep. The children had been dosed to
such an extent that they acted like con-
tlrmed opium tiends.
The same witness told of gross i'm
morality between boys and girls of Ii and
ID years of age.
AT the close of the investigation, DR..
Ruggles said he would take the matter
under advisement.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Dec. lS.-Eugene
Y. Debs has voluntarily withdrawn as a
member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, of which body he was grand sec.
rotary for fifteen years. He went before
the local lodge ana made a speech, in
which he stated that as his path lay in a
different direction from that pursued by
the tiremen, he felt it his duty to retire.
Two years ago, when he first organized the
American Railway union, an attempt WAS
made to expel him. but he went before the
lodge and carried everything with him by
storm. A like movement was to have been
inaugurated at the national convention at
Harrisburg in 1894, but he went there and
hrs enemies welcomed him as their friend.
However much the members of the bro b.
erhood may disagree with him, nearly all
are his particular friends.

Indicate as surely as any physical symptom shows anything, that the or gans and tissues of the body are not satisfied with their nourishment.
 They draw their sustenance from the blood, and if the blood is thin, im- pure or insufficient, they are in state of revolt. Their complaints are made to the brain, the king of the body, through the nervous system, and the result of the general dissatisfaction is what we call Nervousness.
 This is concise, reasonable expla- nation of the whole matter.
 The cure for Nervousness, then, is simple. Purify and enrich your blood by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the nerves, tissues and organs will have the hcalthful nourishment they crave. Nervousness and Weakness will then give way to strength and health.
 That this is not theory but fact is proven by the voluntary statements of thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa- rilla. Read the nextaoolumn. e9
