A CRIPPLE
The Chicago "Timcs Herald Corrc-
pondent at Knoxville Meets
an Old Friend.

From the TUncs-HCyild, Chic g, III
At the Normal Institute n knoHNi.le,
Iowa, on August 9Th. the Knoxville CORE
spondent of the Chicago Times-iIerald was
much surprised to meet his old friend, Mr..
\. T. Conn. whom he believed to be a life
long cripple. from rheumatism and s%ciatica,
moving around as brisk as anybody. As
the last time Hir. Conn had been seen by
the Times-Eerald man he was on crutches,
and i'll q terrible condition, the subject of his
recovery was the topic of conversation. The
following is a resume of Mr.. Conn's story:
"Nou are aware that from overwork and
exposure i'll April, 1894, contracted sclatlca
and rheumatism, and grew steadily worse,
Notwithstanding the best Of medical treat
ment that the neighborhood afforded, until
| was at last confined to my bed, and what
little locomotion | performed was done on
crutches. From the time was taken until
August, 1895, | tried every remedy l could
hear of without any relief whatever. 1t
was at that time that a friend recommended
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and was SO en-
thusiastic over their virtues that ! was per-
suaded to try them, and began to take them
in September. 1895. l was rather discour-
aged at first to find myself decidedly worse,
but was urged by my frinds to persevere
and give the medicine a fair trial and SO l
did. After a while | began to feel an i'm
p~rovement, though it was not noticeable to
those aroun me, but l knew | was better,
ana soon was SO cletcd lnat l lOOllSlly ulS-
carded my crutches, and received a severe
fall for my pains. This SO retarded my re-
povery that l became disheartened, and
ave up taking Pink Pills, SO great was my
encouragement. l shortly after this mis-
hap and set back, began again to a Pink
Pills steadily and perseveringly, and in q
short time could walk without crutches,
and in January, 1886, was able to discon-
tinue the medicine altogether, being entire
ly cured. Since then l nave cleared a
piece of brush land, and planted and at
tended this years crop. l took in all
seventeen boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
before l was entirely cured
Mr.. Conn's address is Pleasantville, Mar
ion Co., Iowa, where he is as we'll known
as in Knoxville, his former home.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for trouble peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and all
forms of weakness. In mel they effect q
radical cure in all cases arising from men
tai worry, overwork or excuses of what
ever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes
(never in loose bulk) at 50cents a box or six
boxes for 50. so, and may be had Of all drug

Cuban QUESTION UP AGAIN
Senators the Friends Of the
Oppressed Islanders.
D5uR RESOLUTIONS READ

or Recognizing Insurgents as Bel
NJ ligerents and Calling for Infor-
mation-AIlen Would Save Rivera.
Washington, April 3.-The Cuban
question was revived in the senate to-
-iay after long period of comparative
calm. -Four distinct Cuban resolutions
were brought forward in rapid success
sion. The last and most important
one came from Morgan. 1t declared
that state of war exists in Cuba, and
announces the policy of the United
States to maintain strict neutrality
as between both parties to the conflict,
with full recognition of the insurgents
as belligerents. Morgan gave notice
that he would call the resolution M at
the next meeting of the senate, with
the expectation of securing final action.
OF the other resolutions two were
agreed to. One calls on the president
for letters of General Gomez to himself
and to Cleveland, and for other infor-
nation. The other, by Mills, instructs
the committee on foreign relations to
report what obligations the United
States has assumed by compelling Cuba
10 remain subject to Spain. Both res
'olutions were passed without opposi-
tiOn. Still another came from Allen,
and proposed protest against the re-
ported purpose of the Spanish authori-
ties to try General Ruiz Rivera, the
Cuban officer, by military drumhead
court-martial. This led to an animated
controversy between Allen and Hoar.
The discussion went over to come up
with the resolution for the recognition
OF Cuban belligerency at the next meet
ing.
The tariff bill, passed by the house,
was received by the senate as soon as
the session opened today. Without
motion or comment, the presiding off
Ger, Mr.. Hobart, referred the bill to
the committee on finance.
An interesting incident of the ses-
sion was Senator Chandlers refusal to
agree to final vote on the treaty to-
day. He called attention to the press
dispatches in regard to the situation in
.Crete, and said he did not feel disposed
to enter into negotiations with any
power whose guns were trained upon
community of Christians struggling to
throw off the yoke of Moslemism. He
also spoke of England's conduct toward
the Beers of the Transvaal as deserving
OF condemnation, and cause for hesi-
tation in the negotiations. He said he
would probably in the end vote for the
treaty, but he was not in the mood for
it today.

Appropriation Bills.

Washington, April 3.-The senate
committee on appropriations today
agreed to report the sundry civil and
Indian appropriation bills practically
as agreed to before the adjournment of
the last session of congress. A few
verbal changes We're found advisable
ana an important change was made in
the provision in regard to the opening
OF the Uncompaghre Indian reservation,
in, Utah.
This provision was presented as a
senate amendment at the last session,
and agreed to by the house. The house
struck it out when it passed the bill at
the beginning of the present session.
The senate committee again recon-
mends the inclusion of the provision
but reduces the number of claims of
gnsonite one person may take from
1opr' as originally provided, to two.
change was made also in the pro-
VISION for the right of inheritance of
en- ldren born of white fathers and In
dian mothers, so as to provide that the
mother shall belong to her tribe "by
niood'" The original provision made
II by blood or descent" The bill
pfo oably will not be reported until next
"eek' The deficiency bill was not
considered.

TERRORS INCREASING.
Rain and Wind Add to the Mississippi
Flood Dangers.

Memphis, Tenn, April "A heavy
rainfall, accompanied by strong gale
from the west, is adding to the terror
of the flood situation. One hundred
and fifty miles below Memphis, in the
Mississippi delta, there are four breaks,
and each is letting in stream as large
as the Ohio river at Cincinnati, or the
Hudson at Albany, and this tremen-
dous outflow has caused fall of only
one-tenth of an inch at Vicksburg, i'm
mediately below the last break. The
rain and wind will cause more breaks.
The river is now like an inland sea,
and this afternoon a telegram from a
point below Rosedale, Miss, announced
that the waves were pounding against
the levee and that at frequent intervals
the water tore itself loose from the main
channel and dashed over the embank-
ment. This being true there will be-
in all probability, more crevasses be-
fore morning. All the forces of nature
are against the people. The rainfall
increases, and the wind intensifies the
danger. On the Arkansas side the
levee from Helena to Arkansas CITY is
as full of men as the inner wall of a
beseiged fortification.
There is break at Westover, which
occurred at an early hour this morning.
A thousand men were at work on the
levees when the crash came. For a
moment thin thread of water began
to trickle from the inner wall of the
embankment. Experienced levee men
saw the danger and cried out word Of
warning, and the laborers rushed back
but in five minutes a gap fifty feet wide
and six feet deep was torn in the wall
of earth. The break grew until it is
now several hundred feet wide. This
crevasse is ten miles below Helena. and
the water rushing through it will de.
stroy dozen splendid plantations, and
may back up to Helena.
The Laconia circle country, a few
miles below Westover, is under water.
This circle is surrounded by a levee.
The levee in the rear wall went to
pieces at late hour on Monday, and
the water rushed in and spread itself
over and across some of the most fertile
land in Arkansas, cut up into planta.
tions and giving support to no less than
5000 people.

Arbitration Treaty in the Senate.

Washington, April 2.-The open ses-
sion of the senate today lasted less than
half an hour. 1t was productive of an
other Cuban resolution by Mills of
Texas, calling upon the committee on
foreign affairs for report on the obli-
cations assumed by the United States
in insisting that Cuba should not be
annexed to any European power, and
should remain subject to Spain.
Hale's objection sent the resolution
over. The Morgan resolution calling
on the president for General Gomez
letters also went over. The rest of the
day was spent in executive session on
the arbitration treaty. At 1890 O'Clock
the senate went into executive session,
and, at 4 o'clock, adjourned.

PARTY LINES DRAWN
Dingley Bill Passed the House by a
Majority of Eighty-Three.

Washington, April with tomor-
row the duties imposed by the Dingley
tariff bill will be in force, and the
present law will be thing of the past,
if the last amendment attached to the
bill before its passage in the house to-
day shall be in the bill when it is
finally enacted, and provided also, that
it shall be held to be legal by the courts
The Republican victory today was
complete. They presented an unbroken
front to the opposition. On the other
hand, five Democrats, one more than
was anticipated, gave the bill the APP
proval of their votes. These five Dem
ocrats are interested particularly in the
sugar schedule. Three came from
Louisiana and two from Texas. One
Populist, Howard of Alabama, voted
for the bill. Twenty-one other mem
bers of what is denominated "the oppo-
sition," declined to record themselves
for or against the measure.
The vote on the final passage of the
bill stood: Ayes 205, noes 1872; present
and not voting, s1-a majority of SO.
The galleries were today crowded to
suffocation. After the amendment fix
ing tomorrow as the date on which this
bill should go into effect had been
adopt ed, against the protests of the
Democrats, who contended that it was
retroactive, and therefore unconstitu-
tional, the first three hours were taken
up with short speeches, most of which
were made for the benefit of the gal
leries, and constituents of the speakers.
The Democrats had yielded the ques-
tion of a long debate over the Grosvenor
amendment, in the hope that enough
progress might be made with the bill
to permit the house to reach the sugar
schedule, but only two more pages
were read, leaving 140 unconsidered in
committee of the whole.
The motion to recommit with in
structions to amend the bill so as to
suspend duties Oh articles controlled
by the trusts, upon which they based
the principal hope of breaking through
the Republican ranks, failed of it's pur-
pose. Every Republican voted against
it. There was great demonstration
on the floor and in the galleries when
the bill was finally declared passed.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER,
Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.


Trading in wheat this week has not
been widespread, but to a great extent
was confined within the ranks OF the
professionals. who are considerably
worked up over the increasing amount
of bad crop news. st. Louis appears to
be the center OF the disturbance and
has been persistently loading the wres
with stories of great harm done. Many
traders have been disinclined to give
the reports much attention, and in fact
have only arched their eyebrows when
brought to their notice. Many of those
who have been loathe to acknowledge
these stories are now changing front
and think there must be some fire where
there is so much smoke. The country
at large, though, is only buying wheat
sparingly, but st. Louis professionals
appear to be taking hold literally, and
are pinning their faith in the reliability
of crop damage in the Southwest. This
is just the time of year for a genuine
crop scare, and, with the weather con-
ditions as they are, damage tales will
multiply instead of diminish
Statistics are, of course, Just as favor
able for an advance as at any time re-
Gently; in fact more so. Visible stocks
are decreasing and the worlds stocks
are steadily diminishing. The worlds
shipments are running from 1000, 900
to $500, 900 bushels below the weekly
requirements of the United Kingdom
and the continent, but for all that, for.
eigners are not alarmed over the out
look. They are certainly not taking
the wheat from this country in such
quantities as one would expect under
the circumstances. Gables are merely
fractional in quoting changes on the
other side. Exports of wheat and flour
from both coasts for the week are lOO,-
600 bushels more than last week, and
exceed those for the same week in 1896
by about 5000 bushels. We have had
war scares of the opera bouffe order,
but war seems to be just as distant as
ever.
There has been fair amount of trad
ing in the corn market this week and
speculation has been brisker. Wheat
no longer exerts much of an influence
upon values.

Copper Amendment Forgotten.

Washington, April 3.-Through an
nverslght, during the consideration of
.ne Dingley tariff bill, the house neg
'ecfed to adopt the amendments to put
coPper on the free list prepared by the
Ways and means committee. Conse-
luently there is no provision for copper
"a the bill. Not having any special
neh ton, copper falls into the basket
'apse at 20 per cent ad valorem.
2 the original draft of the bill, the
'''hlnley rate of cent per pound on
"pper was retained. The subject was
o'vFight to the attention of the commit
~ second time, and as it appeared
sofopper is imported into the United
'.'t yes and some is exported, the COM
'ee saw no reason why it should not
= included in the free list. A clause
'"lding for it in the metal schedule
n stricken out by the house, but the
f hdment putting it on the free list
fas not offered.

SPAIN'S EASTERN WAR,
Madrid Authorities Declare the Philip
pine Revolt Ended.

Washington, April 5.-The Spanish
legation has received official dispatches
from Madrid, under date of April 8, an
nouncing the most decisive engage
ments in the Philippine islands since
the insurrection there began. The losses
were heavy and $3.50 prisoners surren-
dered as result of the shelling OF Cavi-
levego. The officials of the Spanish
legation are highly gratified at the an
nouncements, and state that the results
practically close the conflict in the
islands, these being the last of a series
of severe engagements.

TARIFF BILL CHANGES.


Washington, April 5.-The Repub-
licans of the senate committee on
finance are continuing their work day
and night on the tariff bill with the in
tentiOn OF reporting it to the senate at
the earliest possible day. They are
not prepared to give out any results of
their investigations and state that they
have not reached any conclusions as to
the proposed changes. There is, how
ever, a well-defined impression about
the senate that the bill will be gener-
ally remodeled and the rates considera-
bly, reduced in many schedules.
There is general belief among West
ern senators that there will be material
changes in rates on wools, especially
those of the third class.
Among other suggestions urged is
return to the Wilson law of cents a
pound duty on hops, instead of 10
cents, as proposed by the Dingley bill.
1t is claimed that the proposed increase
will be an injury rather than Il benefit
to the producer, and hardship to the
consumer.
There is much contention about the
lumber schedule. The American lum-
bermen interested in Canadian forests
appear to be especially concerned over
the Dingley rates.
The committee is not receiving any
verbal statements except from senators,
but is giving close attention to type
written presentations of fact and argu-
ment
