Nature intended that
every woman should
look forward to the COM

and hope, unclouded by
anxiety. Almost pain

the usual thing among
uncivilized people.
Even in our own country
it occasionally happens

ton ; and it is a fact that

RECIPROCITY CLAUSE.

Washington. Jan. I.-The effect OF the
operation of the reciprocity clause In the
tariff act OF 1890 repealed by the present
tariff law. will probably be made the sub
ject of an Inquiry by the committee on
ways and means or by the sub-commit-
tee OF which Representative Hopkins, OF
Illinois, Is chairman. The suggestion was
made at the meeting yesterday by Rep
resentative Tawney, OF Minnesota. Speak
ing OF his proposition, Mr.. Tawney said:
II told Messrs. Dingley and Hopkins that
In my opinion Il would be good thing
for the committee TO invite before It rep
resentatives of the several interests af-
fected by the enactment of the reciproci-
~ clause In the Mckinley tarin Of 1891,
and again by its repeal by the WILSON,
German law OF 1894 Their statements
would tend TO settle the disputed ques-
ton of the effects Of the reciprocity
treaties, and OF their annulment. From
their statements the committee could de-
termine whether or not II would be wise
or expedient or both to re-enact the pro-
vision. This would not require nor In
volve general revision of the tariff law;
the inquiry and action could and would
be confined. so far as I am concerned.

treasury department will resume the
coinage OF silver dollars and continue
until about slS.O00,0OO has been coined.
When the administration came in there
was in the treasury about S29,0O0,0OO in
silver dollars, coined from bullion under
the act OF 1870 and available for the re-
demptlOn OF treasury notes issued In pay
ment OF the bullion purchase.
Since August. 1898. about siSo000o0 OF
these notes have been redeemed In silver
dollars and cancelled.
The secretary has now decided to coin
from the bullion now on hand. and pur-
chased under the act OF 1850, about $lS,-

Washington, Jan. n.--Aside from the
leisurely manner in which the Venezuelan
commission Is arranging to prosecute its
work, there are other Indications that
the administration has become convinced
that this august body will not have the
honor OF settling the great boundary dis
pute. While II cannot be stated positive
ly that this belief Is based entirely upon
any specific reports from Ambassador
Bayard upon the subject. yet there Is
reason TO believe that the matter Will

two months or before a report can rea-
sonably be expected from the Venezuelan
commission. and upon lines that will be

While details OF the arrangement are
not obtaniable. and perhaps have not yet

will be arbitration as proposed originally
by the United States. but with iimita-

The bill 70 be drafted will reduce this
time. The subsidy asked is $4,000 a year
for a term OF twenty years, the govern
ment TO have free use Of the cable in
that time. In the course OF the discus

too large, In view OF the estimated cost

probable amount OF government business.
which the committee estimated At from
