For YOUR Protection.-Ca Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits cf catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
Inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

AND NOW KINCAID.

The Oregonian must certainly
be aware that it deceives no one
when it attempts to make Mr..
Mitchell's financial views appear
the reason of its opposition to his
reelection. The real reason of
that opposition is no secret and
needs no explanation.
1t is now attacking Oregon's s
secretary of state, and claims in
justification that he is a silver
man. The Oregoniar is guilty
of another transparent fraud.
Mr.. Kincaid's financial views
have nothing whatever to do with
the management of his office.
Oregon has never had a better,
more economical secretary OF
state. The state has now a nov
city, an auditing board that au-
dts. The system of compensa,
ton for the secretary of state
cannot be commended it is true,
but this is the fault of the legls'
lature. Mr. Kincaid is not the
lawmaker.

Mr.. FAULKNER RESIGNS

He Cannot Approve tife Action of the
House In Regard to Certain

Immediately after the Senate met today

out dissent.
Mr.. Faulkner then remarked that his
place on the commissicns should be filed
by the chair, and resumed his seat.
This resignation, unusual though it is,
is not surprising in viewiof the events of
the past few days. Senator Faulkner last
evening in the brief debate on the final
report of the conference committee on
the general deficiency bill indicated his
radical dsapprova, of the action of the
House in insisting upon recommittng the
cases enumerated in the recent letter of
Secretary Lamont to Representative Say
He spoke calmly, but plainly, and
left the impression that he could not ac-

today's events prove, he could not accept

the Norfolk navy yard and will sail very
soon for Key West 1t was the intention of
the Navy Department to attach the ship at
once to Admiral Bunce's squadron at
Tomkinsville, but a change was made
necessary in this plan owing to the neces-
sity for the use OF warship to take the
North Carolina naval militia to sea on
their annual cruise. So the Maine Will be
sent to the Florida coast to take the place
of the monitor Amphitrite, which has been
lying there for some time, to cut off fill
clustering parties, and the Amphitrite will
be used for the militia drills, being better
suited than the Maine for this work by

THEY ARE FOR HOIES.
Texas Wen Say They Will support
Him and Think He VIII Win.

1t has developed within the last few days
that there have been several Informal con-
ferences of state delegations of silver men
in COngres on the question of the best man
to support at the Chicago convention. One
Of these conferences was held by the Texas
men, anG it was decided 10 do all they
could for the nomination of Boies. The
effect of this decision, it is thought, will
be seen at the Texas state convention,
where, it is probable, there Will be con-
siderable talk of Boies, if not an indorse-
ment of his candidacy. The Texas men, it
is said, while showing a leaning to tie
Iowa man now, will be satisfied with the
nomination of any good silver man. As
the situation at present stands, they be-
lieve that Boies is the most available can
didate and say that he could win.
When ii was mentioned to Cne OF the
Texas representatives that there seemed to
be some objection to Boies among the sll-
Yer men of the west, he said that he did
not think the objection would amount 10
much and did not believe 1t well founded.
Boes, he said, had always been a silver
man. and his recert fight in Iowa, in which
ne announced that he would not accept
an election as a delegate from the state
except on silver platform, showed plainly
that he was not tainted.
Several of the silver republicans who are
expected to leave the St. Louis convention
and join the democratic hosts oppose the
nomination of the ex-governor of Iowa OH
the ground that he would not talk silver
while on visit to the west several years
ago. Notwithstanding this, it is said that
both Senators Teller and Dubois have
stated that Boies will suit them. Senator
Dubois is said to have asserted outright
that he would support Boies if the silver
men leave the st. Louis convention In
case both Dubois and Teller give encour-
agement to Boies, any other man, it viii
60 a long ways to his nomination. The
democrats are anxious to draw in the west
this year, and will not likely nominate a
candidate offensive to that section.
One of the westerners said to a Star re-
porter that while he did not relish the idea
of supporting Boies, he thought the west
would be satisfied with Bland or with Nor
gan or some other southern man whose
record for silver is all right

TALK OF ADJOURNMENT.
An Effort to BE Made to Close Tn
business by Sunday.

There was a good deal of talk around
the House today of an attempt to be made
to close up the business of Congress and
adjourn within the next thirty-six or
fCrty-eight hours. 1t Is said that the ap-
preparation bills are in good shape and that
as soon as the contested election cases are
out of the way there will be nothing to
prevent early adjournment. 1t is also de-
sired by many to adjourn by Sunday be-
cause of the fact that 50 many members
OF the House are getting restless and leav-
ing the city, presenting the contingency of
no quorum remaining and the consequent
long delay.
Mr. Randolph of the branch weather bu-
reau on che House side has prepared a
table of the number of days that each
Congress has been in session. According
to that table If Congress adiourns tomor-
row 1t will have been in session 27G days,
the shortest long session since 1880. If ii
adjourns Monday 1t will be tie with the
Thirty-fifth Congress, 1SoI-5S, which set
for 2TS days.

The discussion in the Senate behind closed
doors today was devoted entirely to the
Cuban question, and the greater part Of
the time was consumed by Senator Morgan
in the continuation of his speech. Senators
Sherman and Lodge made brief explana-
tions of their visit to the White House and
their conference with the President. say
ing they had gone there as a suDcommit-
tee of the foreign relations committee
They expressed the opinion as a result Of
that interview that the executive was using
all due vigilance in the protection of the
rights of American citizens and said that
while 1t might be well enough for Congress
to put its opinion in regard TO the situa-
ton in Cuba. which had already been ex-
pressed In a different form, in the shape of
a joint resolution, there was little prob
ability of getting such a resolution through
without prolonged debate, which was i'm
practicable in view of the general desire
for early adjournment.
Senator Morgan continued his remarks
upon the same lines he had followed in the
course OF his argument in the open Senate.
He said entirely too much confidence was
Tel osed in the executive in this matte~:
that whatever was done should be cone with
the concurrence and in cooperation with
Congress, and intimated that for Congress

said the object of his measure vas to Sc
cure the rights of Americans and that the
refusal of the President to furnish infOr-
nation as to what had been done in CON
nection with the Competitor affair left
Congress dependent entirely upon unofficial
sources for that information.
