DOINGS OF CONGRESS.
THE TARIFF AND TREATY UNDER
 CONSIDERATION.

The Dingley Bill Debate Continued In the House-western Republicans Object to Hides Being on the Free List-Hoar's Amendment to the Treaty In the Senate. Washington, March 31.-Party feeling
 ran high during the tariff debate in the house. Political speeches were wedged in at every opportunity, and there was constant maneuvering for political ad- vantage.
 The opposition directed their. efforts as far as possible toward stirring up dissensions on the Republican side, but
 they succeeded only in exposing single
 instance of revolt. That was on the subject of free hides. The Democrats pressed the question of a duty on hides for the benefit Of the farmer with such
 vigor that Mir. Hepburn. an Iowa Re- publican, was drawn into the debate
 and made a strong plea for dutiable hides. He demanded that the house be given an opportunity to vote on this | question and declared that every west ern Republican was in favor of it. MT. | Cannon of Illinois also gave a qualified | ndorsement to this demand.
 The Republican leaders defended the | bill with vigor. The ways and means committee held the floor with their amendments for four hours About 35 were offered and adopted. Among them
 was one admitting free of duty books. | scientific apparatus, charts, maps, etc, | for scientific and educational purposes" | After that five. more pages of the bill were read, making 20 pages in all of the | 162 pages of the bill. The Democrats | displayed a good deal of anxiety to get | In an amendment to strike out the diff | ferential rate on sugar, but they proba- | bly, will be frustrated in this. The only | motion they may be able to secure | vote on is one to recommit with instruc- | tions. This motion has been prepared | in the shape of a resolution and is the | Dockery amendment to suspend the du- | ty on articles whose prices are con- | trolled by trusts or combinations. Even | this motion may be held to be out of or | der under the special order.
 There is some talk of number of Re- publican votes being cast against the | bill, but after investigation 1t seems | probable that those who may be dissat- | isfied with particular provisions of the | bill will line up on the final vote and l there will be no break in the Republican ranks.

 The irritation which I have already noted as regards the impediment put forward against the rrompt settlement of affairs in the east. which prevents any serious or continuous policy among the powers and which causes Greek en- thusiasin by waking up fallacious hopes, finds vent here in torrent of newspaper abuse against England.

taliating he was placed under arrest

happened that Fitzsimmons was de-
tained until it was too late for him to
reach this city. Manager Byrne re-

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
Nv Internal Remedies.

The only sure way to cure every form
Of piles Is to use a remedy like the
Pyramid Pile Cure which Is applied
directly to the parts affected and It's
wonderful healing effects are apparent
from the first application because the
medicinal properties are rapidly alb
sorbed by tissues and sensitive mem
branes of the rectum, and the cure Is
made speedy and almost before the
patient is aware Of 1t, every trace OF
piles has left him.
This is one of the reasons why the
Pyramid Pile Cure has been so uni
formly successful. 1t is applied di-
rectly where IL is needed and where IL
will do the most good. Not by the
roundabout way of the stomach nor by
the harsh, barbarous methods of var
icus surgical operations and so called
systems.
Direct application to the seat OF
disease is the only rational way, and
this is fully accomplished by the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
If the voluntary testimony of thous-
ands who have tried this remedy is
worth anything then no sufferer has
any excuse for longer delaying in CIV
ing 1t a fair trial, knowing that when
you do so the Pyramid Pile Cure will
have made one more friend, the best
possible advertisement we can have
The chief advantages of the remedy
are: 1t cures without pain, the cure
is lasting, 1t contains no poison, and
lastly, it is the cheapest and quick
est cure yet found. Your druggists car
tell you what it has done for others
