FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, May &c.
SENATE.

SENATE.
The Senate Chamber was a center of
interest to-day, as it was expected that
the tariff debate would advance from
the stage of set speeches to the actual
consideration Of the bill. This was the
programme for the day, as outlined by
those in charge of the bill.
The public interest in the discussion
promised to exceed that on the Cuban
resolutions, and the galleries were
crowded from the outset. The parlia-
mentary status of the bill, according to
the calendar, was that of unfinished
business" which gave the bill the right
of way at 2 o'clock, although it was I'M
derstood the measure would be taken
up before then if the morning business
was disposed of before that hour.
The approach of the Victorian jubilee
served as q theme for an invocation by
the chaplain of the Senate, Rev. DIR.
Milburn. "The long and illustrious
reign of the gracious lady, Victoria,
| wife, mother, as we'll as sovereign" he
said, ''has shrined her in the hearts
and reverence of true hearted men aud
women around the world. May her
last days be her best and happiest.
Guide the councils of that realm and Of
our own beloved country, that, hand in
hand, they may tread the path of con
sentative progress to the goal of Christ
ian civilization"
Another long debate occurred over
| the chartering of ships to carry relief
supplies to India. Mr.. Chandler Of
New Hampshire, e%ndeavored to get q
vote on his proposition to send supplies
by any suitable ship.
Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, insisted
that American ships under the Ameri-
can flag should be employed. He
favored naturalizing two foreign built
| ships ''even if it does grind on some
gentlemen who monopolize the coast
wise trade in steamships"
1.-THE proposition submitted by the
| Senator from Alabama is the most i'm
| pertinent one ever presented to the
Senate of the United States" declared
Mr.. Frye, Of Maine.
81 protest" interrupted Mr.. Morgan,
against the Senator's cha~racterizing
as impairment q proposition originally
offered by his own colleague, MIR.
Hale"
81 will settle with my colleague"
answered Mr.. Frye, good naturally.
He went on to state that the PROPOSE
ton OF Mr.. Morgan vas a scheme"
originating with Hogan & Sons, New
York ship owners, who were seeking
to makes bargain as an incident to this
charity, by which two of their foreign
built ships would secure permanent
) American registries.
A motion by Mr. Morgan to table the
Chandler proposition was defeated,
1910, and the joint resolution was then
J passed.
The final conference report on the
Indian bill was then agreed to.
The tariff bill was taken up at 2
o'clock and Mr.. White, in behalf of the
democratic members of the finance
committee, submitted o number Of
tables showing the articles on which
the duties were from so to 70 per cent,
from rs to 100 per cent and over 100
per cent.
The formal reading of the bill then
began, and the Senate was thus brought
to the point of considering the measure
by paragraphs.

The Shakers have made q great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be
the most successful remedy for stomach
troubles ever introduced. 1t inmedi-
ately relieves all pain and distress after
eating, builds up the feeble system and
makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested
are better than ~so.called tones. TIE
Cordial not only contains food already
digested, but is a digester of other foods.
Food that is not digested does more
harm than good. People who use the
Cordial insure the digestion of what
food they eat and in this way get the
benefit Of it and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the Shak-
ers have sent druggists for free distri-
button, contain much interesting infor-
nation on the subject of dyspepsia.
LAXoL is not a mixture OF drugs. 1t
is nothing but Castor Oil made pala-

Lost in the Desert.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 26.-J. Diet.
rick, a desert prospector, has arrived
almost insane from having been without
food for three and a-half days. 1t is
possible tina two men who were with
him on the desert are dead. Last
Thursday Dietrich went on ahead Of
his companions, but they failed to fol-
low. He went back and found their
trail, which led out on the desert. He
followed their trail for thirty miles and
then turning back made mis- way, near
ly dead, to Banner. A searching party
will 90 out from here.

SENATOR GoRMAN, as stated in yes
terday's GAZETTE, says the considera-
ton of the new tariff bill will not be
completed until some time in July.
Other people say, not until September.
AS the republicans and their allies have
a majority in both branches of Con-
gress, the bill is sure to pass, sooner or
later, and as its ~iniquities are as patent
now as it is possible for democratic
congressman to make them, and as the
worse its provisions are, the surer the
democrats will be Of success at the
next election, why democratic Senators
should produce their opposition further
than the point of voting against it, is
what they know, or think they do, bet
ter than anybody else.

THE Baltimore Sun says the proba-
BILE defeat of the proposition to hold a
constitutional convention in Virginia
is a sample of what Organism has
done for the Old Dominion" If the
Sun we're better informed about Vir-
GINA than it is, it would know that
Organism has no more to do with
the vote to be taken on the constitu-
ton question than the man in the moon.
And then, too, many of the ben
efts of q convention, without its ex-
pense, cal be derived from the legisla-
ture. The Sun should not let its preju-
dice against the democratic party blind
its eyes to what is going on before
them.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY DC. 1897
A WASHINGTON correspondent of thu

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says, "Hold ups and
highway robberies are OF frequent &C.
currence in Washington" Yes, and
all other crimes, and, what's worse,
they are becoming more frequent as
the weeks roll by. Now if the Wash
ington newspaper whose mission seems
to be to defame this city, were to ex-
plot the crimes and vices that prevail
under its own eyes, it would be better
engaged than it is in its long continued
effort to injure the business and properly
OF this city and county by parading
both as Botany Bays, and by making
mountains out of mole hills, in order to
do so. 1t should take the beam out OF
its own eyes before going into con
niptions" over the mote in those OF
others.

Elk SENATOR BRICE, of Ohio, is one
OF the many other democrats who have
seer the error of their way and realized
the injurious effects thereof. His love
for his party grew cold last year, but it
has warmed up again, and he now says
he is with his party silver or no silver,
and whether its nominee be a silver man
or not. Democracy with him now, as
before, 9 the rule of the majority
and a willing submission to the decis-
ions of the party's highest court.

AN ELECTION will be held in this city
and in all the other cities and counties
of the State tomorrow for city and
county officers, and also to determine
whether or not there shall be a conven-
ton to amend the State constitution.
AS there will be few contests for Off
GERS, and as little or no interest in the
proposed convention is manifested, the
vote, it is supposed, will be very
small, the democratic nominees be
elected, and the convention be de.
feated.

Now THAT u country has recognjz-
ed the %belligerency of Cuba would it
not be advisable for Alexandria city to
assist by forming a company of such men
as the noble police officer who, yesterday
morning, SO inhumanly butchered o
poor half-dead dog near the corner of
Prince and St. Asaph streets? Such
brutality would undoubtedly have a
disastrous effect upon the enemies OF
Cuba.

The conditions of peace between
Greece and Turkey formulated by the
powers and the identical note of the
European governments setting forth
these conditions was presented to the
Porte yesterday as stated in the GA
ZETTE of that date. The text of the
note is unknown, but it is credibly
stated that its tone is mild and rather
suggestive than imperative. 1t does
not admit the Turkish demands regard
ing the cession of Thessaly or the abro-
CATION of the capitulations in favor of
Greek subjects in Turkey. 1t admits
the principle of indemnity, but claims
that the payment asked for by Turkey
is excessive. In conclusion, the powers
refuse to accede to the peace negotia-
lions being conducted at Pharsala, and
insist that the terms of peace be discuss
ed at Constantinople.
