DiNGLEy BILL AMENDMENTS.
A Democratic Row Senate Commit,
tees Hawaiian Affairs.

LeeS-ifaWaidn Affairs.
(From onr Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April 10. President
Mckinley is not taking sides either
for or against any of the proposed
amendments to the Dingley tariff
bill. All he has asked of Senator's is
that they will act upon the bill as
speedily as possible. He believes
that when the bill is passed and the
amendments adopted by the Senate
have been acted upon by a conference
committee that the bill will be as
good measure as it possibly can be
made under existing circumstances.
The much talked about
I TO the Dingley tariff bill, which
Western Senators have asked for
turn out to be very different from the
predictions made by those who have
been hoping tor breach in the Re-
publican ranks in the Senate wide
enough to defeat the tariff bill. The
amendments deal mostly with the
wool schedule, and are largely devot-
ed to so classifying wool that some of
the frauds known to have been
perpetrated under the classification of
the Mckinley tariff, will be avoided.
1t is also claimed by the Western
Senators that these amendments are
intended to equalize the protection
given to the wool manufacturer and
the wool-grower.
The regular semi weekly row be-
tween the followers of Representative
Bailey, of Texas, and those of Re-
preventative McMillin, of Tennessee,
the rival would-be Democratic leaders,
has become a feature of the short
meetings of the House, which draws
full galleries and which has crowded
Jerry Simpsons little Populist circus
to the wall. In this rivalry local
paper, which poses as Bryan mouth
piece, has sought to convey the
impression in its daily diatribes
against Bailey that McMillin was the
personal representative of Mr.. Bryan.
One OF these editorials was denounced
on the floor of the House as an in
| famous and malicious 1e' by Mr..
Bailey, who added by way of empha-
sis: II denounce every man who
has helped to circulate it as an
infamous and malicious liar. The
editorial in question said in effect that
the leadership of Mr.. Bailey was the
leadership of Mr.. Reed.
Not wishing to keep the new
Senators out of the privileges belong
ing to members of the committees
any longer. the Republican caucus
committee charged with conferring
with the Democratic committee on
the subject, reported to the caucus in
favor of accepting the last Democratic
proposition for filling the committee
vacancies. This programme gives
the Republicans all vacancies, in
Guiding chairmanships, that were
made by the retirement of Republi-
cans, and gives one place on the APP
preparation Committee that was
filled by aDemocrat to Republican.
while the committee on Post Offices
and Post-Roads will get one additional

FeSIhheuCe OF Fdmtue.
And yet thousands of women. are
so afflicted. In spite of all they can
do this continues to grow worse, or at
least grow no better. RIGHTEOUSNESS
and breath perfume seem Of no avail.
The reason of their failure is, in the
majority OF cases at least. they do not
know the cause of their trouble. Per-
haps the most frequent cause of I'M
pleasant breath is catarrh. The in
fiammation of the mucous membrane
of mouth and throat discolors the
teeth, coats the tongue, causes the
lips to become harsh and sore. and
imparts a more or less disagreeable
odor to the breath. Such condition
must be an extreme annoyance to the
women whose instincts are naturally
dainty; and she would do anything
in her power to overcome it.
To all such women, the word that
Pe-ru-na will absolutely cure catarrh,
will therefore be good news. Peru
ma, by removing the catarrh, sweet
ems the breath and causes healthy
secretions to take the place of the II
ritating ones which have been the
cause Of SO much discomfort. The
teeth are easily cleaned and the effects
of brisk brushing remain. The
tongue resumes its natural color and
the unhealthy coating disappears.
Catarrh of the stomach also is often
the cause of foul breath. Pe-ru-na
cures catarrh wherever located.

ed pages on catarrh, of which DIR.
Hartman is the author. will be sent

ing the town. they came suddenly upon

lenge was given, and the insurgents
opened fire.
The authorities are entirely at a loss
to know how the insurgents entered the
town and succeeded in getting by the
fort garrisoned by the Third Regiment
of local guerrillas, which was at the
extreme end of the street. AS soon as
the insurgents were discovered great
panic ensued among the residents, wo-
men, children and the aged fleeing
protection, while the men either took
sides with the insurgents or joined the
Spaniards. The stores We're looted, the
invaders providing themselves with

pulsed, the regular troops losing one
man and twelve wounded The insur-
gents left four killed, and took away

It is evident that the company in

chance to make a run or two as COM

of Captains ready in case of an emer-

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4. Jack
Everhardt of New Orleans was given
the decision over Spider" Kelly to-
night, after twenty rounds of fighting.
Everhardt sustained his reputation as
a rusher. From the sound of the bell
for the first round until the gong rang
at the end of the twentieth the South
erner was after his man. While Jack
was. the aggressor, he had not the cleV-
erness of the local man. Kelly is a
long-range fighter, and While not a
hard hitter, is exceedingly clever in
eluding rushes and stopping them with
straight leftS. Everhardt was the
stronger of the two, and in close work
may fairly be classed as superior to
Kelly. Several times Kelly put in some
straight left blows which Strengthened
up Jack, but the latter came right on
after each clinch, and compelled Kelly
to do some lively sprinting about the
ring. In point of cleverness Kelly
clearly outpointed Everhardt, but be
gun to tire from the terrific pace after
the twelfth round.
In the thirteenth Everhardt caught
Kelly over the right eye with a left
swing, WHICH OpeIeu d SdSi III liC
Spiders face, from which the blood
flowed throughout the remainder of the
fight. Kelly braced up in the nine
teenth and put in some staggering left
swings on Jacks jaw, but the sturdy
Southerner kept right after his OPP
pOnent.
While the decision was not popular
with the majority of the spectators,
this may be partly accounted for by the
fact that Kelly was the local man, and
that he was on the short end in the
betting.
The first event on the cards, a ten
round go between Charlie Reno of this
city, and Eddie Anderson, a green
youngster from San Pedro, served ad-
mirably as an appetizer, for the latter
fought his more experienced opponent
to a standstill. and would in all prob
ability have won out had the mill been
prolonged. AS there was no Knockout,
however Referee O'Donnell declared
the bout a draw.
The next event was a middle-weight
contest between Frank Purcell of Salt
Lake and Jack Weady. a blue jacket,
which was scheduled for fifteen rounds.
The sailor, however proved easy game
for Purcell although he put up hard
fight for nine rounds. In the tenth
Purcell fioored him repeatedly with
smashes on the jaw, and the sailor was
finally counted out.
