Most women do not understand their own

A women will go to a doctor when she has
a severe cold. or some acute digestive dis

Its consequences are always serious, and

life becomes more and more miserable.
The woman is killing herself with neglect
just as surely as if she were taking deadly

AGAINST FREE SILVER.
House Recommendation to NOn-Co1
cur in the Senate Amendments.

house RecOmm enila tiOn to NOn.COn-
cur in the Senate Amendment.
After ten days debate, the House yes
terday afternoon, by vote of 80 to 19O in
committee of the whole, rejected the Senate
free coinage amendment to the bond bill, and
reported the bill to the House. with recon-
mendation to non-concur and insist on the
House bill. The strength developed by the
silver men was disappointing. They had
been confidently claiming over 100 votes
propositions were offered during the day
to concur with amendments as follows: To
coin the American silver product, for the re-
tention of the seigniorage by the govern
ment, and to open the mints to the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 15h to l. when
Germany and France should have agreed
upon similar action. All were defeated bv
large majorities. The last proposition
offered by Mr.. Towne Of Minnesota. mus
tered ffty-three votes, the highest number
OF any. Mr.. Towne had stated to the House
that similar propositions would be submit
ted to the reichstag and the French parlia-
ment at the present sessions.
The most significant statement yesterday v
came in the form Of an intimation from ME-
Dlngley that a bill might be reported from
the ways and means COMMITTEES looking to
the initiation by this country of q project
for another International monetary confer-
ence. to meet within q year. While Mr. Ding
ley said he was simply expressing his per-
sonal position in the matter, it was gen.
orally understood, from the manner in which
he said 1t, that the suggestion had already
matured into a well-defined intention on the
part Of the republican leaders of the House.

A TARIFF SETBACK.
The Senate DecIfnes to Take Up the
House Bill.

The result of the effort made by Senator
Morrill, yesterday afternoon to take up the
tariff bill, after urgent deficiency Dill
had been disposed OF by the Senate. proved
something of a surpr-ae, and produced 4
mild sensation, which grew rather than di-
minished during the remainder of the day.
While Senator Morrill, had never acquiesced
in the proposition, it had come to be gen.
orally understood that he would not press
his request until the appropriations bills
should be disposed of. 1t was also the gen.
eral understanding that the democrats and
the other opponents of the tariff bill would
not oppose the consideration Of that meas
ure when an effort should be made to take
it up.
The vote had scarcely been announced
when a story was started that the result
was an indication of the means that the
combination Of the anti-tariff and pro-slver
men intended to employ to defeat the bill,
ard admissions made by some Of the more
pronounced silver republicans who voted
against consideration of the populists gave
color to this ruiner. They said that the re-
suit meant that there must either be an
agreement to couple silver with the tariff
and allow the bill to pass in that shape or
submit to having any proposition for the
consideration of the bill defeated in the fu-
ture. Some of the more cautious and con-
servative Senators, whose votes were
recorded in the negative, refused to commit
themselves to this statement, and they as
serted that there would be no objection to
the consideration of the tariff bill "at the
proper time" They added that 1t would
have been discorifteous to displace the Gu
ban resolution. which had been made the
unfinished business by unanimous consent,
which would have been the result of ac-
eepting Mr.. Morrill's proposition.
The vote created more or less feeling, and
the extreme tariff advocates were inclined
to accept the explanation that a combina-
tion had been formed by this means to de-
feat the bin, a result which both those Of
the democrats who oppose both the tariff
bill and the silver substitute and the silver
Een of all parties are anxious to accom-
plish
They argue that this is the only stage Of
the bill upon which solid democratic vote
could be secured. and that the methods
adopted today is the only course open to the
silver men to prevent adverse action by the
Senate on silver. Senator Platt of the
finance committee accepted the result as
final. 1T MEANS" he said, "the indefinite
pcstponement of the tariff bill.' and added,
ut also means the end Of the silver agita-
ton in this country"
Whatever the real cause of yesterdays 8
proceedings there is no doubt that the bill
has received very decided setback, and
1t Is impossible to now say when it can be
taken up.
