this, and that the usual course should be
pursued. namely, of the house adjourning
from day to day The action of the min
listers, he said, was an objectionable in
suit to the Crown, and whatever expla-

now.
Hon. 6. e. Foster, ex-minister of

Ing In the marble room of thu Senate
with full attendance.
The caucus adjourned at 10 o'clock
without coming to definite conclusion.
Another caucus will be held after the
Senate adjourns.
Inc discussion showed that majority
OF Senators favored passing the bill as
IL came from The House, but there was
some opposition to this from such Sena-
tors as represent states having large
agricultural constituencies and the fruit
regions ana sugar country of the West. 1t
IS peleved by many that the sense of the
parry VIII find expression this afternoon
IN O determination not to amend the
bill
speeches were made By Senators AL
auflch, Allison. Hawley, Baker, Quay,
burrows. Perkins and others. While
Messrs. Adrioh and Allison were quite
uiplonlatlc IN their utterances it was east
y noted that they, speaking for the com
lhlttce favored the House bill without
amendment. Mr.. Baker made strong
speech Ior bill protective in its eharac-
Ter and along Republican lines in place

terlzed as Democratic throughout. There
was noth1ng done this morning to indi-
cate coming together of minds, but all
Senators believe that this afternoon
conference will result in the outlining
OF definite policy
while it is undoubtedly true that the
majority OF the Republicans are in favor
OF reporting the House tariff bill as it
came from that body, the position of Mr..
Jones of Nevada, is STUN bling block
that precludes such action. He insists
that the ID per cent Of increase made by
the House bill shall be applied to the
sugar schedule and urges that the omis-
sion Of this by the House is an unjust
discrimination against the sect sugar in
terasts of the West Mr.. Jones was in
frequent conference today with Rpubli-
can Senators, but SO far has given no in
dlcation Of any change of heart Some
prominent Republicans think it would
be better to let the bill be smothered in
committee than report it with amend

prayer and also reported from the meet

The reception of delegates at the resi-

Mrs. Bailey was particularly pleased

Two Weeks From Vinal Haven to Portland
"A Captain Who Nearly Froze Monday
"A Fleet of Delayed L lumber Vessels in
Port.
The coasters have of late been working
against every possible disadvantage.
Yesterday the following lumber schoon-
ers destil ed for Loslon and New York,
came in for q harpor: Flash, Avn, Gem,
H. A. Holden, Frank and la, Romeo
and Mary E. Snow.
The Flash had the worst luck of the
neet, Saving been exactly one month on
the way from St. John to Portland. She
lest q boat on the passage. She came 10
Monday. and went out again, but was
forced back after rather an unpleasant
experience. They went directly into
what seemed to be cold wave, and suf-
feied greatly. The captain had one foot
frozen. and fearing that his men would
perish at their work he returned to port.
The Mary e. Snow, was two weeks in
coming form Vinal Haven't to Portland,
ana all the rest of the lumber fleet had
been more or less delayed The shippers
are unable to recall a like experiene.
Taking advantage Of the dull season
the tug L. A. Belknap, Captain No
Dufie, has been laid off for needed re-
pairs.
The Numidian is rapidly taking a car
go, and the Labrador is disoharging
cargo. Yesterday was dull day on the
Grand Trunk, and but TWO special trains
came down, but today will be another
lively day, two cattle and several general
freight trains being looked for.
The railroads while down in their luck
on local freights have saved many thous-
and dollars SO far by reason of lack of
snow. No trains have been delayed, no
accidents happened, no cuts have been
shoyeled out, and the saving in these i'm
portant respects will go far to make good
the loss sustained by reason of the stop
ping of local trains. 1t is doubtful if af-
ter all the railroads, the Grand Trunk in
particular, are not really ths gamers
It is supposed that the fishermen are
finding it far too cold and rough for
fishering. The dealers are filling orders
as well as they can from the stocks on
hand, and are hoping for arrivals. 1t
would be a good time for a fisherman
with good catch to make this port.

Mrs. BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan's tribute to his devoted
wife is one of the finest incidents oc-
curing since the close of the cam
paign. During almost the whole of
Mr.. Bryan's extraordinary fight for
the people, Mrs. Bryan was at his
side helping, advising and sustaining
him. She was his comforter and
counselor. No couple could have pre-
sented a more perfect example of
union. They passed together through
scenes of frantic enthusiasm. They
were the center of series of popular
demonstrations unequaled in the his
tory of this country. Amid it all they
preserved sacredly to themselves mu-
tual confidence and help and love.
However widely the waves might
rage outside, none could disturb their
serene harbor.
Mr.. Bryan's association of his wife
with himself, in his public letter. u oes
honor to his head and heart. Few
men have the courage and generos-
ity to accord to their wives a fair
share in their greatness, but in this
as in every other word and deed the
magnanimity of Mr.. Bryan's soul
shines out allowing us a glimpse into
that holy and perfect home life
which is sweeter than presidencies
and abideth unto the end.-Denver

Death Of ''Big Marie"

Many of our readers will remem-
ber the side show at the fair ground
during our last county fair that ex-
hibited big Marie" the fat woman.
The show was not success financi-
ally while here, and the big lady
seemed to be sorely in need of funds.
Where she went from here we do
not know, but it was understood that
she and her husband stranded at
Upper Sandusky, where they sold
their outfit, and disappeared. A dis
patch in the daily papers last Friday
said that big Marie was dead.
The message is from Ravenna, and
says 1.-THE death of Mrs. Mary E.
Edwards occurred at the city hospi-
tai today. The deceased is better
known throughout the country as
Big Marie She weighed between
$50 and 700 pounds, and came to Ra-
VIENNA from Warren a week ago in
charge of her husband. She was i'll
and they were without money, hav-
ing played to hard luck because of
the excitement which preceded the
election. The authorities called as
sistance and got her to the hospital.
She was seven feet in circumference
and has been the object of much at
tention during her illness and death.
When married eight years ago she
weighed less than 200 pounds. Their
home is in Attica, Ind. Rev. DR.. T.
F. Phillips has been engaged by the
Epworth League to preach the fun
eral sermon on Friday afternoon.
She will be buried in a coffin made
especially for her, in Maple Grove

ON Wednesday the 18th, the En-
qatirer contained an interview from
Senator Sherman that confirms every
claim as to the intention of the east
,ern leaders of the Republican party
on silver made by the silver advo-
Gates this fall on the stump. Here
are Senator Sherman's own words in
answer to this question. "Will there
be an international conference on
the silver question:" The Senator
said, THERE WILL BE NO CONFER
ENCE WHICH WILL HAVE FOR IT'S OB-
JECT THE FREE AND UNLIMITED COIN
AGE OF SILVER This is what the
friends of silver said during the cam
paign, and this is what the Mckinley
stumpers as vigorously denied. We
now mention it as significant coming
from the leader of the gold men, and
SO soon on the close of campaign
that was replete with promises both
in the platform and on the stump,
that if successful that party would
do all in its power to promote bimet-
allism.

WHY LADIES LIKE COFFEE.
Though Many Admit it Hurts
Them.

Many ladies have so great liking
for coffee for breakfast that the meal
seems fiat and unsavory without; but
the muddy complexion which is al
most sure accompaniment, is a
great trial and the question is seri-
ously discussed, many and many
times over IN ones mind, whether IL
is possible to give oyer the coffee and
gradually get back the lost complex
ion, or keep on with the coffee and
get on with the bad skin and make
the best OF il.
The disordered stomach and liver
sometimes bring on more serious
troubles. To quit the use of coffee is
the only true relief, it contains the
same poisonous alkaloids as tobacco,
strychnine and morphine, although
less in volume. One can use the
delicious hot food-drink, Postum
Cereal, at meals and never miss the
coffee. 1t browns the deep seal
brown of Mocha and takes on the rich
golden-brown of old Java when
cream is added. 1t is made by the
Postum Cereal Co. Lin. of Battle
Creek, Michigan, purely and wholly
of the Eourishing grains intended by
the Creator for mans subsistence.
The pungent taste so well liked in
strong coffee is retained in Postum.
Nature quickly RECEIVERS when cof-
fee is left off and the natural health
coffee is used in its place. Health
full sleep is again enjoyed and nerves,
stomach, liver, bowels and heart
caaSa fhair cnmpIaiDin1 u-ban tho
disturbing cause is withdrawn.
These are great big live facts
worthy the attention anyone who
cares for the exquisite fun OF being
perfectly well.

MIR. Bryan's Close Shave.

Complete election returns in the va
rious states show that Mr.. Bryan es-
capped being the next president of the
United States by avery close margin.
Various estimates have been made in
regard to the number of votes neces-
sary to be changed in order to elect
him, but, on the fullest information,
the Press believes that 26,249 bal
lots thrown from Mckinley to the
Democratic nominee in only six
states would have changed the result
of the election.
Mr. Bryan will receive IT'S of the 447
votes in the electoral college, 224 be-
ing necessary to elect. An addition
of 40 electoral votes to his column
would therefore, elect him. These 40
electoral votes would have been OBJ
tanned by the change, as follows of
26,24S ballots in six states, giving Mr..
Bryan the requisite 224 in the cleo
toral college:

The True Democracy,

When the next national convention
meets it will be a convention of Dem
ocrats, and as such will declare the
policy of the party without reference
to the orders or wishes of the per-
sons who brought about this years
defeat.
The Democratic party requires no
recognizing. 1t is q very large, ar
dent and resolute body of Americans,
possessing principles and favoring
politics which insure it all the organ
ization it may stand in need of. The
anxiety of Mr.. McKinley's friends to
volunteer as commissioned officers of
the party and lead it away from Dem
ocratic on to Republican ground is
kind and disinterested, of course, but
their valuable services will not be
accepted. They themselves are
where they belong, but there is no
conceivable reason why any genuine
Democrat should wish to join them.
