Relief sor Flood Sufferers,

Washington, April 6.-President Nc
kinley may abandon his idea of sending
special message to congress tomorrow
asking for relief for the Mississippi river
flood sufferers. Such action, it is thought,
is rendered unnecessary by the passage
by the senate yesterday of the Bate reso-
luton diverting for the relief of the suf-
ferers the uneXpended balance of ap-
preparations made from time to time to
meet expenses raised in preparing to re-
sist cholera and other diseases. Since the
senate had already initiated such legisla-
ton as he would present in his message,
the question was rs to whether such ac-
ton by him was not rendered unneces-
sary. All data in connection with the
amount of money needed upon the passage
of the Bate resolution will be placed at
the disposal of the surgeon general.
Should the president send in a message
it is expected he will recommend a sepa-
rate appropriation of S150,000 or $780,
900, and it is possible in the event he
does not send to congress a formal mes
sage that he will transmit the informa-
ton in his possession. Senator Bate to-
day, when questioned on the subject, said
that if his joint resolution became a law
it would afford all the relief expected of
the government. He said that he had
made investigation and learned that this
fund, which had been set apart from time
to time for the suppression of epidemics,
now amounted to $45O,000. This would
be more ample than for the purpose. The
senator also expressed the opinion that
the marine hospital service, having agents
in all the principal cities. would be far
more effectual in distributing relief than
could any newly formed organization. He
said he believed the resolution would be
acted ON favorably by the house of rep.
and the marine hospital
would cheerfully undertake the work if
assigned to it.

A PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands of People Have Dyspep-
STA in It's Worst Form and Do
Not X now II.

A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-tenths of all disease, yet in most
cases the wrong thing is treated and the
true cause overlooked. . .....-
This is because weak digestion pro-
duces symptoms resembling nearly every
disease because it weakens and disturbs
the action of every nerve and organ in
the body: poor digestion causes heart
trouble, kidney troubles, lung weakness
and especially nervous break down or
nervous prostration; the nerves can not
stand the wear and tear unless generous
ly fed by well digested, wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one
need fear the approach of disease.

writes For the sake of suffering human

a very weak stomach, threw up my food

London, April G.-The Times will print
the following dispatch tomorrow from its
special correspondent at Larissa:
1.-THE celebrations in honor of the ami
versary of the declaration of war for in
dependence in 1921 began this morning
with a salute of twenty-One guns. Crown
Prince Constantine and his suite, wearing
Greek orders and uniforms, drove through
the lines south at 10 o'clock to attend
service at the cathedral. The edifice was
crowded and the ceremony was one of
the most impressive character. The
crown prince was apparently deeply
moved by feeling Of his own RESPONSE
bility. After the service he drove to pay
visit to the mayor, and he then return
ed TO headquarters.
The whole day passed quietly, with
music by the bands, fireworks and a gen
eral illumination. Tonight (ruesday)
there was a great dcmonstra ton in front
of the residence of the crown prince, the
crowd shouting and demanding war. 1t
is feared tomorrow will not be passed
without some demonstration by the insur-
rectiOnary bands.

He is Distributor of Patronage.
Paris, Tex, April Especial Hon.
f. H. X. Green arrived here tonight from
Washington, stopping over few days in
Chicago and st. Louis while en- route.
Regarding the appointment of J. W.
Bell for postmaster at Beeville and Pat
Gibbons for the same position at this
place, he asserted that Mr.. Bell original
ly forwarded his papers to him and that
he filed them with the postofice depart
ment, accompanied by his official endorse
ment, prior to his departure from the ma
tional capital. Regarding the appoint
ment of Mr.. Gibbons, he claims the credit
is due to c. NJ. Ferguson, the colored poll
tician of this city, in the main. He says
that while he recognized Mr.. Gibbons as
a Green man, and while Mr.. Gibbons So
licited his endorsement as such, that he
could not give it, having previously en-
dorsed Mr.. e. a. Russell.
Chairman Green appears quite confident
that he would have the say in the matter
of distribution of Texas patronage. He
stated that 1897 applications had been
filed with his headquarters up to date.
During the interview he took occasion to
refer to the fight that will soon come up
over the Ell Paso collectorshp and the
United States marshal office for the west
ern district He said he felt confident
that Green men would be appointed in
both instances. Mr.. Green will leave for
Washington again next Thursday to look
after the approaching conflicts.

Sir William Vernon Harcourt then said
that Mr.. Balfour appeared to have mis-
construed the purpose of the motion.
While he could not describe the motion
as vote of censure he explained that
there could be such thing as vote of
want Of confidence in what the govern

continued. was not to allow all its
forces to be employed against the Cretans
and, IL carried, it would be a restraint

poses to so employ the forces of the
