Senate Foreign Affairs Com

Given Access to Consular Re-
ports From Which to Draw
Conclusions.
Republicans on Committee ADJ
verse to Pushing the Ad-
miniStratiOn.

WASHINGTON, May l3.-The senate
committee on foreign relations did not
conclude its consideration OF the Cuban
situation during the day. 1t will meet
again in the morning, but the sub-com-
mittee, consisting of Senators Davis,
Foraker and Morgan, which was given
access to the Cuban reports now held
at the state department, probably will
ask for further time before submitting
their ideas to the full committee. The
sub. committee was unable to go
through all the reports that have been
received from Consul General Lee and
other consuls and officers in Cuba. 1t
is possible that Senator Morgan will
consent to have the resolution now
pending in the senate to go over with
out prejudice until the committee can
make it's report. 1t is not intended
that all the reports of consuls shall be
sent to the senate, but the senate COM
mittee will select certain documents
bearing on
The Condition of Affairs
On the island and on these make its
recommendations and report. Some
question has arisen as to the effect the
report of the committee or the infor-
nation at the state department may
have upon the resolution now pending
in the senate. Members of the COM
mittee do not express an opinion on the
subject, but enough is known to Justify
the conclusion that instead of weaken
ing the resolution, its friends will find
cause for insisting that there is a
stronger reason for passing it. The OBJ
ject of the foreign relations committee,
which has deprecated hasty action and
suggested that the resolution be re-
ferred to the committee, is that the
senate should not act in the premises
until there is more information at
hand. The Republicans of the COM
mittee do not feel justified in
Pushing the Administration
until it has had time to act. 1t has
been pointed out that only two months
have elapsed since the administration
came into power and it has scarcely
had time TO take up and consider so
important matter as that which has
been presented. The pending resolu-
ton, unlike joint resolution, will
require the executive either to ap-
prove or disapprove of it. This be-
ing the case, the Republican sen.

bassadors of the powers held pro-
longed conference during the day at
the close of which they presented to
the Turkish government collective
memorandum proposing an armistice
between Turkey and Greece on the
basis of the negotiations for peace now
in progress through the powers.
The memorandum, which was pre-.
sented to Ahmead Twefik Pasha, the
Turkish minister of foreign affairs, by
the dean of the diplomatic COZ ps, Baron

bassador, enumerates the conditions
which have been accepted by Greece

LONDON, May 13.-The correspondent

refused the Tur kish demands will be

The Berlin correspondent Of The

Edhem Pasha is developing an out

the Greek position at Domokos unten-

1t Occupies the Entire Attention of the

WASHINGTON, May l2.--The Cuban
question occupied the entire attention
of the senate during the day, the de-
bate taking wide range and at times
becoming spirited when comparisons
were made between the attitude of the
former administration and the present
on the subject of Cuba. Senators Nor
rill Cf Vermont and Caffery of Louisi-
ana spoke in opposition to the resolu.
ton Senators Lodge Of Massachusetts,
and Foraker of Ohio advocated defer
ring the question until further infor-
nation could be secured from the state
department, and Senators Mills of
Texas and Allen of Nebraska urged the
immediate passage of the resolutions.
The debate was not concluded when
the senate adjourned.

A KlOndyke Fable.

The Klondyke gold miner wrapped his

With nervous hand he scooped them
up and climbed to the top of his ice

But he could not eat the Aurora

In feverish haste he counted up his
wealth. Together with the triAe in his

In speaking OF the matter Sheriff Dyer
says that the above account is entirely
untrue. He was summoned early this
morning to serve notice upon the Rex
mining and leasing company to vacate
the mine on account of a breach of con.
tract No forcible possession OF the
mine was taken by Loveland and Welch
but they secured the serving of this
notice.
The Rex mining and leasing company,
it appears, is formed for the purpose of
leasing on the Rex mine, and one of the
clauses of the contract is that if royalties
are not paid regularly on the 18th of the
month, the lease is forfeited. The Rex
company, it is said, is now $4,000 be-
hind in royalties to the Louisville com.
pany, the owners of the mine, and hence
the latter had the notice to vacate served
as stated. The men still in possession
Of the mine constitute minority of the
Rex company, as the majority are de.
sirous of forfeiting the lease.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty -four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back,
is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out Of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times in the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized It
stands the highest for it's wond .erful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have
