UNITED STATES SENATE.
Adjournment Out of Respect to the
Death Of Senator Harris.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The Senate
met to-day under the depressing in
fiuence of the death of Senator Harris
of Tennessee, who has been one of
the conspicuous figures in the upper
House of Congress for over twenty
years. The desk he occupied so long
was not draped, as the Senate had as
yet no official knowledge of his de-
mise.
Rev. Johnston, the Chaplain of the
Senate, in his invocation referred feel
ingly to the loss the Senate had sus-
tanned, and spoke of his rugged hon
esty, his answering attachment to his
political principles, his opposition to
all he considered wrong, his devotion
to his State, and his service to the
nation
After the journal had been read, Sem
ator Bate of Tennessee made the an
nouncement of the death of his coll
league. Senator Harris, he said, pos
sessed high qualities of leadership, the
courage to assert and the ability to
maintain. His devotion to his duty as
he saw it inspired confidence and
friendship, while it often disarmed op-
position. He was the last of the great
war Governors North and South, said
Senator Bate, who presided over the
destnies Of sovereign States during the
stirring struggle of the States. He had
been an influential factor in Tennes-
see, and his long and eventful life
would live after him. He also referred
to his late colleagues parliamentary
ability, and those personal character
istics which endeared him to his COL
leagues.
Mr.. Bate offered the usual resolu-
tions, which provided for a public fun
eral in the Senate tomorrow, to which
the House was invited. and for COM
mittee of nine Senators to accompany
the remains to Tennessee, where the in
terment will be made
Mr.. Cockrell of Missouri offered
supplemental resolution extending an
invitation to the President, the men,
bers of the Cabinet, the members of the
Diplomatic Corps, the Major General of
the Army and the Admiral of the Navy
and to the members of the Supreme
Court to attend the obsequies
Then on motion of Mr.. Bate as
further mark of respect to the de-
ceased the Senate adjourned

CURRENCY QUESTION.
The President May Yet Send a
Message to Congress.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The main
topic of discussion before the Cabinet
at the regular meeting to-day was the
message on the subject of a Currency
Commission which has been withheld
for a few days in Difference to the
wishes of many prominent Republi-
cans.
After considering all of the objections
that had been made against the pre-
sentation of the message at the present
session of Congress, the President and
Cabinet were still of the opinion that
in order to follow the party promises
the subject of currency reforms should
be treated in a message recommending
the creation Of a special non-paTtiSan
commission, and unless there is anoth-
er change in the plans of the President
he Will send the message to Congress

The workman often eats his lunch
on the same bench where he does his
work. The office man turns his desk
into dining-table. Neither gets the
out of doors exercise he needs, neither
takes the proper time for eating. 1t
is small wonder that the digestion of
both gets out of order. In such cases
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets come to
their assistance by aiding nature in
taking care of the food.
The cause of niue-tenths of the sick
ness of the world is constipation.
From this one cause come indigestion,
disorders of the stomach, liver and
kidneys, biliousness, headaches, tlatu-
lence, heartburn, impurity of the
blood and the serious complications
that follow. To begin with, oonstipa-
tion is little thing, and little thing
will cure it. The pheasant Pellets
are tiny, sugar-coated granules. They
will perfectly cure the worst case of
constipation and indigestion. If the
druggist tries to sell you some other
pill that pays him greater profit, just
think of what viii best pay you.

any penalties for the infraction of these
