mission, and said Phil Sheridan would
never have served the government IL he
had been compelled to pass a civil SER
vice examination.

president for information as to the death
OF two American sailors at Santiago de

The debate on the Anglo American
arbitration treaty was continued by the
senate In executive session. Senator
Gray, a member Of the committee on
foreign relations, held the floor during
the two hours that the question was un-
der consideration, but he yielded to
numerous Interruptions, some of which
amounted TO independent speeches. Mr..
Gray defended the treaty as one which
would reflect credit upon it's authors and
upon the two nations which IL was in
tended to bind together even more
closely than they are at present bound
He ridiculed the fears Of those who con-
slider the treaty a trap for Americans,
and said that IL as originally negoti-
ated II could be construed as prejudical
to American interests (and he did not be-
lieye IL could be) certainly all defects
were cured by the amendments Of the
committee on foreign relations. He
made an argument to show that these
amendments would accomplish the re-
suit which the Chiffon amendment aimed

Senator Thurston took occasion to ex-
plain his position, which was that there
should be declaration so explicit on the
character of disputes to be settled un-
der the treaty as to leave no room for
misunderstanding on this point in the
future. He said II should be made en-
tirely clear that all questions of Ameri-
can policy, whether foreign or domestic,
were to be reserved from the operations
Of the treaty, and he would vote for the
amendment that would bring out this
fact in the clearest language.
Quite pronounced tendency developed
in the direction Of an amedment similar
to the first amendment originally re-
ported by the foreign relations commit
tee. excepting all questions Of policy, and
II was suggested by some that there
should be return to the original posi-
tion Of Lord Salisbury favorable to the
arbitration Of only pecuniary claims.

of territorial rights.

A POISeM,D LIVER.
DON'T KEEP POISON IN YOUR BODY
LONGER THAN YOU HAVE TO.


II your stomach poisons your liver the
consequences may be serious.
What poisons arise In your stomach
come from undigested food which has
decomposed there. They are absorbed by
your blood and go to your liver, where
they paralyze its functions and make you
bilious.
Finally they go into the blood again and
are carried all over the body, disordering
your different organs, and perhaps making
you dangerously sick.
This is the origin of many diseases
which are not always known for what they
are.
The poisons OF undigested food can
only he got rid OF by the use OF a purify
ing, strengthening, digestive tonic, like
the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
A few doses of this wonderful cordial
Will soon clear away all undigested, fer
menting, poisonous substances, restore
your appetite, aid you to digest your food,
purify your liver aud blood of all danger
GUS poisons, and restores you to perfect
health.
1t will cure biliousness, Indigestion,
nausea, headache, dizziness, mental de-
preston, weakness, fever flatulence, con-
stipation, loss of appetite, bad taste in
mouth, stomach-ache, anamia, rheuma-
tism, ETC., where other medicines will
barely give relief.
At druggists. Ten cents for trial bottle.

UNDER FIvE-MIMUTE RULE.
Tinksring Of DingIey Tariff Bill Now Il
Full Blast

Washington, March 27-Seven hours
were spent yesterday in debating amend
ments to the tariff bill under the FIVE
minute rule The Democrats offered
many amendments, but they were all
rejected
Three slight committee amendments
were adopted, and also an amendment
offered by Mr.. Mahany (Rep., N. W to
increase the duty on white lead from II
to cents per pound. the rate in the act
Of 1890. The present duty is 11s cent
Mr.. Mahany said the increase was asked
for by a concern which was independent
OF the Lead trust. 1t was adopted by a
strict party vote. The discussion COW
cred a wide range ofpolitical topics, and
at times was both interesting and ex-
citing. By far the most important fea
ture Of the day was the attempt Of Mr.
Dockery of Missouri, Mr. Cooper Of
Texas and others, backed by the entire
opposition. to secure a vote on an amend
nent offered in q multitude of forms,
which provided that I'm case any article
made dutiable by the bill was controlled
by q trust or combination, the duty upon
such article should be suspended. Mr..
Dingley made the point Of order that
the amendment was not germape to the
dutiable list and would not be in order
until the free list was reached. For al
most three hours this point of order was
fought over and made the subject of
examinations and recriminations. The
Democrats contended that IL the amend
ment was ruled out II never would be
voted upon, as the free list, in all human
probability, would not be reached be-
fore the final vote was taken. The chair
sustained the point of order. An ap-
peal was taken, but the chair was sus-
tained by a strict party vote, 15S to 1o4.
