Senate Adiourns Sine Die.

Washington, March 10-The credentials
OF Andrew Z. Wood, as Senator from
Kentucky by appointment OF the governor
was presented and referred in the Senate
today without discussion to the commit
tee on privileges and elections.
Mr. Hoar gave notice OF two amend
ments to the rules which we're read. They
are botn radical innovations upon the
practice of the Senate for century past.
The first, according to a notice presented
by MIR. Hoar, is to enable the Senate to
act on legislation when 1T desires alter
reasonable debate.
1t provides that when bill or resolu-
tion has been under consideration more
than one day, any Senator can demand
that the Senate be closed. Ii majority
of the Senators so decide, there shall be
a vote without further delay. No motion
shall be in order pending the vote. but
one to adjourn or to take recess. The
other is in relation to the calls OF the
Senate go IL a suggestion be made Of the
absence of quorum the presiding oftioer
instead of instantly ordering the call
made, shall determine the matter and
report whether there is quorum present.
If there is, the business shall proceed; /;
If not the roll is to be called.
The purpose of this proposed change
was stated to be 80 prevent the inter-
ruption of business by unnecessary call
ing of the roll. "
Mr. Shoup presented a memorial from
the legislature of Idaho asking for the
annexation of portions of Wyoming to
that state.
Mr.. Warren referred to the memorial as
an attempt to have a good and fertile
state added to somewhat dry and barren
one and intimated that opposition to 1t
would be made in proper time.
The Senate at 12 Is p. m. went into ex-
ecutive session and at 12.4 40 adjourned

STEERING COMMITTEE MEETS.
Senate Republicans Expect to Retain Con-
troll of That Body.

Washington, March 10.-The Republi-
can senatorial stee.ing committee met
today in Senator Allison's room. No
action was taken. The members re-
celved notice late and some did not ar.
rive until the conference was breaking
up. While no member of the committee
was able to offer tangible solution OF
the existing difficulty In connection
with the filling Of vacancies on commit
tees. it was the general impression that
no combination having for it's purpose
the organization Of the Senate commit
tees by the silver vote could be made
effective. Several members Of the COM
mittee who as individuals have given
this question the most painstakin9 con-
sidsration and have held numerous con-
ferences with the leaders of both factions
OF the Democratic party and the b0ltins
Republicans have reached the conclusion
that the differences between these eie-
ments are SO great and the oemanus
made SO incapable of being complied
with that it will be utterly impossible
for the Repu bliosEs to concentrate ON
any particular plan Of action.
For this reason the members OF the
committee state that the status quo ID
the Senate will be maintained and ult1-
mately vacancies will be filled with Re-
publican retaining chairmanshlps al
though, owing to the POpulist repre-
sentation on some of these committees it
will not be possible for the Republicans
to fully control the action of some.
Another meeting of the steering COM
mittee will be held tomorrow. A denial
Is made of the published statements
that a compromise was agreed to, where
by the Republicans are to retain control
until December when the regular session
convenes and that at that time the con-
test for control of the Senate Is to be
waged.

After Them.

New York, March 10.-City Magistrate
Kudlich wrote letter to the police COM
missioners which was privately read at
their meeting today. Magistrate Kudlich
made public the letter tonight. In it he
charges that there is as much dishonesty

the police force as there was before the
Lexow investigation. He says the police
in the excise, disorderly house and policy
GASES are dishonest. He intimateH that
they are bribed.
He accuses the commissioners of being
incompetent or they would have weeded
out the dishonest men. He says as the
commissioners have refused to Investigate
the complaint he made against two
policemen in reference to the execution
of warrant, the next time he will COM
plain to the grand jury.

bad shape that I could eat nothing but
a little matted milk. AT that time I
could not eat meat, vegetables, or even
bread of any kind. Before I got
through with the first bottle of Puri-
tana I had begun to eat regular meals
and the condition of my stomach was
much improved. My bowels were also
much better.
When finally left off using Puri-
tana I could eat anything. even pud-
ding, and my health was all right. AS

Saco, March 10.-This city has the
reputation of being comparatively "dry''
but tonight that term could be literally
applied A criss-oross war between the
Republican deputy sheriffs and the DEM
ocratic officers, this afternoon, resulted
in several seizures, lots of exoitement
and general hustling off of contra band
goods
Tho first seizure was made by Deputy
Sheriffs ]. ii. Miles of Saco and J. @.
Goldthwaite of Biddeford, who visited a
tenement house at the Saoo end Of the
M ain street bridge. Next they called at
Harry Mullen's shop and found some
beer. At Jack Haipes's house on Water
street they found a bottle Of liquor and
at the Saco house they made another
small haul. 49,.
The Democratic mayor and marshal
thought they recognized in these seizures
a political retaliation, so to make the
thing even, Marshal Burns and Deputy
Marshal Remick started out and raided
three drug stores kept by Republicans.
At the drug store Of Freeland 81. Oaks
they found jug and demijohn of liquor,
and at DR.. L. D. Dennstt's made q big
haul. They found nothing at C. L.
Percy's drug store, but he refused to
open his safe to allow them to make
search therein.
Liquor selling is a brand new thing
in Saco, and for time while the war
was on business along Main street was
practically suspended.
