relevant to the amendment, points which
were sustained by the Speaker. When
Mr. Settle referred to the municipal cleo
tons at Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus
and Canton as an indication of the pub
lie disapproval OF the Houses inaction
and forerunner of that November day
in 1900 which would prove the Arma-
geddon and the Waterloo OF the Re-
publican party the Speaker again rapp-
ed him to order and Mr.. Dingley and Mr..
Bailey crossed swords over the question
as to whether Mr.. Settles remarks were
in order.
Mr.. Dingley contended that the Ken
tuckian's remarks were wide of the mo-
ton and Mr.. Bailey that it was always
proper to speak of public opinion. 1--WE
have always had respect for public opin-
on," said the latter, land We think it
proper to lay it before you for your in

where at the Republicans laughed.

The minority demanded the yeas and

the Speaker laid before the House the

Gently elected to succeed the late Rep

Mr.. Burleigh was escorted to the bar

Mr.. Knowles, Pop, S. d., then rose
to a question of personal privilege and
sent to the clerks desk and had read an
Associated Press dispatch dated at Lew

man charged, on the alleged authority of
Mr.. Knowles, that the Middle of the
road" Populists had accepted 81 800 from
the proceeds Of Mr.. Bryan's book with
the understanding that nothing should
be done to prevent fusion in 1900.
Mr.. Knowles denounced Mr.. Bateman's
statement as a wilful falsehood without
shadow of foundation. Mr.. Dingley
objected to the airing of private griev-
ances in the House. He said the gen.
tleman might hire half if he desired
to make personal explanation.
Mr.. Knowles insisted, however, that
he had a right to denounce a statement
that was false as helP' and the Speaker
allowed him to proceed. Mr.. Knowles

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
tiers improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton, and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for
so cents or $1.00 per bottle at any drug
store.

FEAR FOR SAMOA.
A German Newspaper Thinks We
May Want That Next

Berlin, June 1S.-The Nossiche Zei-
tung thinks that the action of the Uni
ted States imposes upon Germany and
England the necessity of devising meas
ures to prevent the adoption of a SINH
lar policy as to Samoa.
The Post, however, expresses the
authoritative view held here when it
says:
Germany has long regarded Hawaii
as within the sphere of American inter-
ests and can scarcely find any pretext
either to question the right of the Uni
ted States to annex or to interfere by
protest or obstruction.
London, June 18.-The Times cores
pondent in Paris, says:
I met a member of the American
me: In one way or another we are
bound to take Hawaii. It has. first of
all, the advantage that it can be annex
ed without serious difficulty arising from
any European power. Therefore, we
can satisfy our desire for some sort of
annexation without running the risk of
serious cOmplica tiOns. Moreover, Ha-
wall is so near America that it is quite
out of the question that it should be-
long to any other power, and its gov
ernment is so weak that it could not
seriously resist if any other power real
ly tried to take it.
Although not worth much, Hawaii
will make an excellent coaling station
our hands. Unless We annex it now,
we should expose ourselves to compIica-
tions with the japanese. who would
soon Outnumber the Americans in the
isla nds, while now we have to fight no

BOMBS FOR GERMANS.
The German Ambassador was Near
Strasburg When the Explosion
Occurred

Paris, June 18.-The police of this city
connect the explosion of a bomb in front
of the Strasburg statue with the al
legged attempt to assassinate President
Faure by the explosion of a bomb in
the Bois de BoIougne on Saturday last.
An eye witness of the explosion says
that he saw a man on a bicycle stop at
the foot of Strasburg statue and then
ride rapidly away.
A reporter of the SoleiI declares that
at the moment of the explosion he saw
Count Won -Ledenburg the
German ambassador to France, and
Lieutenant Colonel Won SchwartzhOp-
pen, the military attache of the German
ambassy, near the StrasbOurg statue.

MAKES HERR MOST LAUGH.
Bomb Burst Near President Faure He
Calls Giant Firecracker.

New York, June 18.-"This is too fun
ny for anything" said Herr Most, when
asked what he thought of the attempt
to take the life of President Faure.
Attempt to assassinate the president
of France? Ridiculous. There is abso-
lutely nothing in that. I understand
the situation just as fully as though 1
had been on the spot myself
1T is just this way: In the first
place, let me tell you that there is Moth
ing to the story. Absolutely nothing.
Don't you understand that it was all
put up job? The anarchists had no
more to do with it than you had. I
think the president himself was respOn-
sible Maybe I am mistaken. but I
don't think I am far out of the way.
President Faure has not had much
printed about himself for some time.
He saw q great chance to get up a SEN
sation He either had that so-caIled
bomb placed there himself, or, if he did
not know anything about il, then his
friends, the members of his cabinet,
were in the plot. They wanted to make
the president more popular. They
thought it was high time that he should
be made a martyr of, and here was the
chance They hired some poor fellow
and explode it just as the president
drove by in his carriage. This, of course
would arouse the people, and today the
president is laughing in his sleeve, no
doubt on account of the big advertis-
ing scheme he worked for himself.
thousands of dollars have been
spent in cabling the story of this al
legged attempt of assassination to the
neWspape of the world"

IT'S FRIENDS IN DOUBT.
are Not Sure That
Action Can be Had at This
Session

Washington, June 18.-The impression
is now prevalent in the senate even by
the friends of Hawaiian annexation, that
the treaty can not be ratified at the pres
ent session if there is any such opposf-
ton as is promised. The programme now
is that the treaty will be reported from
the committee and that after the tariff
bill has passed it will be called up. The
Senate will be asked if a time for a vote
can be fixed and upon the objections by
the opponents of the treaty, its friends
will say they are content to allow it to
lie over until the next session.
One reason for pressing the treaty in
the face of opposition is that the senti-
ment which may be only partially op-
posed to the treaty will be crystallized
which is not desirable. It is also believed
that senators who are now undecided
may become Influenced favorably after
mature consideration and after finding
out what the drift of sentiment is in
their states. It is well known that sena-
tors can not be held here after the tariff
bill is passed in the hot weather.
