THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley the Great English Scientist,
 Considered the Best start tn Life

The great English scientist, Hux- ley, said the best start in life is d sound stomach. Weak stomuchs fail to digest food properly because they lack the proper quantity Of di- gestive acids (lactic and hYdrochlor- ic) and peptoEenic products; the most sensible remedy in all cases Of indigestion, is to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets because they supply in Il pleasant, harmless form lll the ele- ments that weak stomachs lack
 The regular use ofStuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer Of the stomach
 They increase flesh, insure pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and clear complexion, because all these result only from wholesome food we'll digested.
 Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents, full sized package.

CITIES BEING PILLAGED.
Disturbances COntin nue-AutOnOnly Y
for the Island.

CANEA, March 14.-Pillaging began
yesterday at Gambia, Retimo and at
this place and has continued today
The bishop Of Nicephere remains here,
though alone. in the hope of being
able to save the Metropolitan church
from pillage. The landing of European
insurgents maintain a ceaseless cannon
ade at Spinalonna. They are in ex-
cellent spirits and health, while the
health of the troops of Col. Vassos
shows no signs of falling off.
The foreign admirals have not yet
been informed as to the decision of the
powers on their proposals of a week
ago Yesterday they telegraphed their
respective governments asking that de-
tachments of sailors. equal in number
to those already landed at Canea, Reti-
mo. Gambia and Sitia, be sent i'm
mcdiately TO relieve the present force
whose work is most harassing, COM
priSing as it does, the double function
Of police and ffremen.
The admirals have been instructed to
confer with the cOnsulates as to the
best means of proclaiming the fact
that Turkey has granted to Crete COM
plete autonomy. The hope is enter
tanned that such a measure will help
to pacify the island. Great Britain
has instructed Col. Chermside and Mai
BOr to remain at Canea- In addition
to the Italian warships, one British
ironclad assisted in the bOmbardment
of the Greek insurgent forces COM

FRIENDS OF GREECE
Hold Another Big Mass Meeting in

LONDON, March 14-Between 2O,O0l
and 10000 people crowded the APP
prOaches to Trafalgar square this af-
ternoon to express sympathy with
Greece and Crete and, according to the
posters announcing the meeting, to as
sist diplomatists to make up their
minds
The gathering was made up Of a less
respectfully dressed class than the
great Hyde park meeting of a week
ago The windows of the clubs and
hotels facing on the square and the
approaches to it We're filled with spec
tators. The Greek colors were worn
by a majority of those present, and
many Greek flags were displayed The
proceedings began at 4 o'clock, the
speakers including Rev DIR. John Cliff

the house of commons: Michael Davitt,

HAVANA, March 14.-Gen. Jmenez
Castellanos, owing to the persistent
rumors that the insurgent government
had its headquarters at San tf,''onimo

DAVIS WILL PUSH ARBITRATION.
Treaty VIII Occupy the Senate for "a
Time.
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON March 14.-Vice
President Hobart will rap the senate to
order at noon tomorrow for the begin
ming of the work of the Fifty-fifth con-
gTeSS.
The week does not now promise to be
busy one in the senate, except in the
event that the arbitration treaty be-
tween this country and Great Britain
is considered. Senator Davis, chairman
OF the committee on foreign relations,
said today that he would force the
question Of ratification to as speedy
determination as it would be possible.
The treaty will be considered in execu-
tive session. There will be considerable
opposition to it even in its amended
form, but the friends of the treaty as
sert that there will net be to exceed
twenty opposing votes when the final
result is announced.
Some nominations are expected on
Monday. and there may be a brief
executive session tc permit their ref
erence to committee. A number Of
bills, a majority of which will be those
which failed in the last congress, will
be introduced during the week, but as
none Of them can be taken up until
they receive committee action there
will be but little or no legislative work
The presidents message is expected
Monday.
OOuSlOS1dDl6 time uul1nS. the week
will be spent by the committees of the
various parties in the senate in an
effort to reach a harmonious adjust
mcnt of the senate committees. There
is now talk Of an agreement to fill
all the vacancies except those existing
in the committees on finance and
appropriations. Both these committees
are fortunately quite equitably ad-
justed, and it is feared that an effort
to supply the vacancies might result
in bad feeling and an entanglement
which the Republicans desire to avoid
on the eve of the tariff fight.
There is only occasional reference to
changes in the elective offices in the
senate, and there is no prospect Of a
controversy over this point at the pres
ent time.
1t is expected that the credentials OF
Messrs. COrbett and Henderson, ap-
pointed to fill the senatorial vacancies
from Oregon and Florida, respectively,
will be presented Monday. They Will
be referred to the committee on privi-
leges and elections.

DON'T NEED GREECE'S AID.
Russian Comment on the Pacifica-
tfon of Crete.

C1On crete
ST. PETERSBURG, March 14.-The
official st. Petersburg Journal says this
morning: I'VE recently stated the rea-
sons which determined the attitude of
the imperial government as to the
Cretan question. Unfortunately they
do not seem adequately recognized at
Athens. Humanitarian motives actu-
ate the powers more than any other
consideration, as has been shown by
the action of the powers toward the
Hellenic government. The Greek note
III reply to the powers, endeavors, in
spite Of the practical utility Of a sys-
tenn of autonomy for Crete, to prove
that annexation to Greece will alone
end state of anarchy. While consent
ing to recall her ships, Greece persists
that the cooperation Of her troops is
necessary to the paciffcation of the
island, after which a plebiscite should
decide the fate Of Crete.
Such an attitude is unsatisfactory.
The powers had not in the present case
to consult the opinion of the Greek
government. They simply expressed to
Athens in succinct terms the decision
imposed by circumstances, Whereunto
it was for Greece to conform. In re-
fusing to heed this decision, Greece
gives clear proof that under a preteXt
of assuring a condition of peace and
a much less distinterested object, name
ly annexation by surprise.
THE powers are too unanimously re-
solved to maintain peace in the East
to sanction such designs. They find
themselves compelled, though much
against their will, to have recourse to
vigorous measures which they shrink
from adopting in regard to Greece. At
the same time they will have in the
resources at their disposal a sure means
of pacifying Crete without the CO.
operation Of the Greek troops"

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 14.-The
Mississippi river continues to rise and
the situation in the low lands of Ar
kansas, opposite this city, is very Sc
Iious.
Tonight the river stands at 463 a
rise of seven-tenths since last night.
This is the highest record since the
establishment of the weather Office here
III 1872. The government gauge today
recorded 36.3 feet above the low water
mark, but owing to a change in the
gauge since the previous high waters,
this would read on the cid gauge 37.2
The high water mark on the old gauge
was 36.6 made in the flood of 1880.

rather lower than usual, and specie

has been deposited without recourse to
the usual purchases in the money mar

TARIFF AND APPROPRIATION BILLS
The Limit of Legislation to Be AIIowed-Davs
VIII Urge the Approval of the
Arbitration Treaty.

WASHINGTON, March 14-The Fif-
ty-fifth congress meets in. extraordi-
nary session tomorrow at noon in pur-
suance Of President McKinleys proc
lamation. The work before 1.-THE pas
sage of a tariff BILLS pretty well cut
out in advance, but the indications are
that it will be stormy session, and it's
length and scope are as yet matters
of speculation. The present secretary
of state, Mr.. Sherman, remarked sever
al years ago on a memorable occasion
in the senate that the president, like
Aladdin, could rub the lamp and cause
the genii to appear, but that once they
had appeared they were masters of
their destinies. So that congress once
in session may go much further or
not SO far as the president may wish.
SO far as the house, which will be or
gan1zed tomorrow, is concerned, the
present determination Of the leaders is
TO direct the energies of the lower
branch to the accomplishment Of the
task before it with all expedition, and
throw the responsibility for any com
plications whihc may arise out Of de-
lays in the senate upon that body This
s
speech at the Republican caucus last
night, when he spoke Of the necessity
of bringing the work Of the session to
speedy close. Whether the leaders
will emphasize any inaction by the
senate when the bill reaches that body
by programme Of a three day recess
remains to be seen, but it seems likely
that the speaker will, at least for the
present, refrain from appointing any
save the actual committees necessary
for the transaction Of the business in
hand. This will prove an effective bar
to the passage of miscellaneous or
general bills, as the rules of the house
are such that all legislation must come
through the agencies of committees
But even this is not absolutely neces-
sary, as the committee on rules can be
invoked to furnish special orders And
1t is by means of special orders that
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-03-15

the appropriation bills which failed to
receive Mr.. Cleveland's approval are
to be put through at the extraordinary
session.
Consideration in committee would in
VClVe great delay and result besides
in almost interminable debate in the
house, as it is the peculiar character
1stlc of new house to use every op-
portunity to talk. Mr. Cannon, the
chairman of the appropriations COM
mlttee, says the bills as they went to
MI. Cleveland are all right, and he
favors their re-passage under special
rules without the formality of again
putting them through the regular chan
nels. This will be the plan followed
and all the time before the actual de-
bate on the tariff begins will be de
voted tc the appropriation bills.
The new tariff bill, upon which Re
publican members Of the ways and
means committee have been working
labOriously for three months, is com
plete and will be formally introduced
tomorrow. It will then be printed and
submitted to the Democratic minority
and receive formal consideration by the
full committee. 1t is not expected that
this will require more than three or
four days at most, although the Demo-
Gratis may, and probably will. protest
vigorously against such expedition
AT any rate the house leaders hope to
enter upon the consideration of the bill
in the house before the end of the
week. Some of them tonight fixed
Thursday as the day on which the de-
bate would probably commence AL
though the limits of the debate have
not yet been decided upon the prevail
ing opinion is that it will not last over
ten days. Night sessions WILL Of
course, be held throughout the period
allowed for debate. This will give the
new members an opportunity to make
set speeches for the benefit of their
constituents.
Unless some unexpected hitch occurs
the new tariff bill may be sent to the
senate q week from next Saturday, or
q fortnight after the session opens
The organization of the house tomor-
row, while a perfunctory performance,
will no doubt attract a large atten-
lance. The new house will be called to
order by the clerk, Maj Mcdowell,
