Washington, March 1S.-Durfng the
consideration in the senate of a reso-
luton to open the Uncompahgre reser-
walton in Utah, Secretary Hoke Smith
was severely criticised by Senators
Cannon of Utah, Wolcott of Colorado
and West of Missouri, and the last
named said that there had been time
when a cabinet officer who deliberately
disobeyed the law would be brought
before the bar of the senate. Mr.. Villas
dem, Wis.,, offered an amendment to
exempt asphalt lands from the opera
tons of the law opening the reserva-
ton and pleaded for time to consider
the resolution. It's passage would be
a reflection upon the secretary and
even upon the president. The resolu-
ton finally was laid aside as unfin-
ished business.
The Bayard ceIsure resolution was
called up in the house by Mr.. Hit
rep, ill.), who made a strong speech
in support of it and was followed by
Mr.. McCreary (den., KY, vino opened

1t is stated that the Venezuela COM
mission has come to the opinion, from
the result Of the Investigations al

untenable, and that Verezuela's claim
is just one.

senate, speeches being made by Stewart

livened by many spirited incidents.
Mr.. Gray's plea for Cuba brought on
a running cross-fire of comment and
inquiry from Mr.. Hale rep, Me-. The
Delaware senator caused much amuse-
ment by referring to Mr.. Hale as 1.-The
senator from Spain" A fresh and
vigorous contribution came from Mr..
Chiffon (dem., Tex), who has seldom
addressed the senate. He urged there

Messrs. Chiffon and Stewart in their
arguments insisted the resolution

REED ON MONEY.
(Bradstreet's.)

(BradstreetS.)
Perhaps the most forceful personal
ity in the Republican party, and GER
tanly one of the most forceful in con-
temporary public life, is Speaker Reed.
He is a man noted for strength of
statement in his public addresses.
which lose nothing of their force be-
cause of the discrimination which is
usually characteristic of them. An
address just delivered by him at Al
fred, Me-, illustrates his general habit
of statement. and will doubtless form
one of the campaign documents in the
struggle now on. The speech dealt
mainly with the one real issue in the
campaign, that as to the monetary
standard. In the portion dealing with
the attitude of party opponents, Mr..
Reed, who, in spite of many hard
knocks given and taken in political
combat, is perhaps the Republican
statesman best liked by the Demo-
Gratis, made a strong appeal to the lat
ter to sink party differences for the
| time and fall into line for the support
of the existing monetary standard.
His historical illusions were happy,
and there can be no doubt that the
address will turn out to have been Il
vote-winning one.
n a n If fran
coinage Mr.. Reed said that heretofore
whenever gold and silver have stood
together it has been at the market
value. When trying to make gold and
silver circulate together we have al
ways married them according to their
market value. Today we find them,
not 16 to /, but 81 to 1. and we are
going, they say, to lift silver to twice
its value, not by the universal sense Of
mankind, which alone makes values,
but by the statute of the United
States, single-handed against the civil
lied world. Mr.. Reed said that if the
decentralization of silver is a disease at
all, it is a world disease, md he defies
anybody to find single argument
which proves that the remonetiza ton
of silver would be good thing for the
whole world. If it is a world disease,
he said, how can it be reached except
by a world remedy. international BIZ
metallism he could understand, but
the driving out of gold and substitu-
ton of silver would be only silver
, recommendation for the United States.

Pump is an article which every
Farmer, Fruit Grower, Garden

out. 1t is practically three
pumps or syringes in one and
can be changed from a solid
stream to a spray while pump
ing. For Nurserymen, Coffee
Growers, it is of special value,
in as much as it will throw a
stream from 40 to so feet thus
reaching high trees, or those
which cannot be reached in a
shorter distance. 1t will
thoroughly spray a ten acre
orchard in a day. The spray
ing pump can be changed to
an agricultural syringe (for
Florists) or from an agricultu-
raj syringe to a veterinary
syringe. All parts are inter-
changable and each is complete
by itself. Everything screws
together and can be taken
apart readily and cleaned. 1t

1t is the best, most powerful,
easiest working and cheapest

IN \ RUSH.

Miss \. Cahill, the milliner, goes on
record from this afternoon for deter
mination and bravery. She intended
going east by the Alameda to purchase
goods for her establishment. n mis-
take was made by her in the sailing
time of the vessel and she appeared at
the Office of w. &. Irwin O. Co. ten
minutes late, breathless and all hurry
without ticket or passport. The agents
replied that they could not stop the
steamer.
Left to her own resources, the lady
drove rapidly to the wharf, took q
shore boat and pulled off to the
steamer, which was then -urning into
the stream. A rope ladder was dropped
and she climbed up with the agility OF
a sailor. When the Alameda got near
the lighthouse Port Surveyor Strate-
meyer rushed out of the custom house
with the lady's passport, took another
boat and pulled out after the steamer
The last seen of Miss Cahill, she was
waving to friends from the deck OF
the big liner as the vessel slowly
moved out of the channel

THE THEAIER.

1t is a pity the opera house was not
at the disposal or service of so good
a theatrical company as the Elsie
Adair Vaudeville troupe. The Drill
Shed is good enough in its way, but
has several very Objectionable features
known to all. The makeup of the
visiting combination, by the way, is
the outcome of the world wide and
earnest craze for light or variety en-
tertainment. Mr.. Nanderlip, the COM
edian and manager, brought Miss
Adair and her companion artists to-
gether in New York for this tour of
the world they are making. The very
best theaters in the American metrop-
oils and in London, Paris, Berlin and
st. Petersburg, which is to say the
leading theaters of the world, are now
given over exclusively to vaudeville
talent, The managers and their agents
seek constantly for novelties and their
admission fees are greater than the
attraction dares charge. There has
been a revolution in the theatrical bus
mess. Theaters at the center of pop.
ulation that in years ago presented
only the tragedy and drama now Offer
only variety entertainments. The peo-
pie have come to the conclusion that
they want advertisement that removes
all thought trace of carking cares and
for the time have abandoned the idea
that the stage is seriously educational
However, it remains instructive in its
way, and certainly has highest bene'
fits and uses. Mind action is quick

enjoyment of clean humor or artistic
oddity, there seems to come the emo

Mr.. Isaac p. Davis, who was, |
think, one of the proprietors Of the

went to this same hotel with party

salmon had come up the river the night
before. and he proposed to serve him,
with which answer Mr. Davis was well

Later in the morning he said he

interview with Mr.. s. II. Godfrey,

I was always well and peart,
then for a long while and until
last February, suffered with
indigestion and could not eat
anything hardly at all. My

told me how to take them, and
and they have completely cured
me. My wife is now troubled
