Are You DyspeDtic?

When they put a man in Jail, he can
not follow his natural inclinations.
He cannot eat what he wants to-he is
limited to very frugal diet Is it not
equally true of dyspeptic? For all Of
the real enjoyment he gets out of life
he might as well be in Jail. He can
not eat what he likes, nor enough.
He suffers much, gets little sympathy
AT first, perhaps little heaviness in
the stomach, little sourness. windy
belchings and heartburn; headaches
biliousness and foul taste in the
mouth in the morning. Chronic con
stipation is almost inevitable, and
means that the body is holding poison.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Chinese
government has at length turned its at.
tention to the construction of railroads,
and, according to United States Min.
lister DENLY, has appointed Chi. Ahen,
q provincial judge, to superintend
the building Of a railroad from
Tien Tsin to Lu Kou bridge, eight
miles west of Pekin, which is as neal
the sacred precincts of royalty as Chi.
nese etiquette will permit the road te
approach at present. The cost of &c
miles Of road is estimated at 81, 600, 600,
and it is to be finished in one year.
Excludes Foreign Capitalists.
The decree ordering the work also
requires Chinese merchants to form
stock companies to build other railroads,
for the government is determined
to exclude foreign capital and for.
eign control Of the roads, although
there is reason to believe it will ulti,
mately yield these points when a prac'
tical trial has shown the magnitude Of
the undertaking and the lack Of abil.
ity, owing to ~inexperience, of the Chi.
nese managers. In this case there will
be a great field for foreign railroad en-
terprise, and Mr.. DENLY, who has lost
no opportunity of setting out the pre-.

should not be allowed to pass without

Mr.. Kotzebue Denies the St. James
Gazette story.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Russian
minister, M. E. Kotzebue, was surprised
and amused when shown the statement
in the st. James Gazette saying hat he
had informed Secretary Olney hat
Russia would see to it that Turkey paio
any indemnity required by the United
States and that upon this assurance the
United States abandoned a contem.
plated naval demonstration in Tur kish
waters. Minister Kotzebue says he
has given no such assurances to Mr.
Olney. He is careful to avoid discussing
diplomatic subjects, but in view of
the fact that this has no diplomatic
status, he thought himself fully war
ranted in dismissing it as a pleasing
fiction.

REPORTED TO THE SENATE.
Mr.. Quay Moves to Recommit, with
Instructions.

Mr.. Quay Moves to Recommit. With
Instr ucti0ns.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The senate
devoted a half hour to clearing away
routine business, and then Mr.. Morrill,,
chairman Of the finance COMMITTEES, Sc
cured recognition to report back the
tariff bill. He road in somewhat trem-
ulous voice the original title, and then
the new title a. reported:
IAN act to provide for the free coin
age of silver" etc.
Mr. morrill, smiled as he added, Il
am disposed in presenting this to add
the conclusion of official proceedings in
Massachusetts 'and may God save the
commonwealth"
Quay Moves to Reoommit.
Mr.. Quay had remained standing
while Mr.. Morrill, spoke and at once
followed with a motion to recommit
the bill and substitute back to the
finance committee with instructions to
report the original bill and amendment
separately.
MI. Hill called attention to the fact
that the motion was irregular during
the morning hour and the presiding
officer sustained tho point.
Then" said Mr.. Quay, II ask unan-
imous consent that this bill be referred
! back with instructions"
Il object at this time" interposed
Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Quay's proposition wa
disposed of for the time being.
VIII Probably Kill the Substitute.
AS soon as the action Of the commit.
tee became known it was recognized
that the fate of the bill would depend
largely if not entirely upon the way it
would be received by the silver Repub-
licans. The report proved a complete
surprise to them and was unfavorably
received without exception so far as
could be discovered. They Immediately
began q movement to have the two
propositions, tariff and silver, separated
and they will generally support Sena-
tor Quay's motion to this effect.
Not So Sure About the Matter.
Although the result Of the final vote
on the silver substitute to the tariff bill
il in a great deal Of doubt there seems
to be q very general opinion that the
resolution of Senator Quay will be de-
feated, as it is asserted that all the
Democrats and all the Populists will
vote against it. If this il true the mo
ton cannot carry and the contest will
come directly upon the substitute.
Some sound money Democrats r in
clined|to support the Quay motion but
most Of them take the position that
they should vote against the motion
As q means Of killing the tariff bill.
