WASHINGTON LETTER.
To Dow Senator Elect Ken.
ney-A Bright Washing
ton Girl-Olher Items.
Special to The HERALD.

Senator Gray. of Delaware,
will this week present the ere
dentials Of Mr.. Kenney, who
was last week elected Senator.
by the Legislature, and whose
credentials are properly certi-
fed by the governor of that
state. A hard fight is going to
be made by the republicans to
keep Mr.. Kenney out of his
seat. Inasmuch as Mr.. Kenney,
who is a silver democrat, will
receive the support of all the
silver Senators, it is expected
that the republicans will de-
vote their efforts to trying to
stave off a vote until after the
4th of March, when they will
be stronger in the Senate. 1t is
SAID that "LittIe Billee" Chan
dler's scheme of reopening the
Dupont application will be
abandoned because of the re-
fusal of some of the republican
Senators to support it, and
that instead the claim of the
gas millionaire, Addicks, which
has already been presented to
the Senate by Chandler.-he is
always around when anything
dirty in the political line is
needed-will be urged against
that of Senator elect Kenney.
Addicks has got plenty of mon
ey and if there are any votes
in the Senate that can be
bought, he is willing TO spend
it.
Senator Turpie called mp the
Cameron Cuban resolution and
made a spirited speech thereon,
in which he made it plain that
while he was just as strongly
in favor of the independence OF
Cuba as ever, be was even more
strongly in favor of action
which would declare the Sen-
ate to be independent of ex
ecutive authority.
Senator Morgan has not at
any time been overfriendly TO
wards the arbitration treaty,
and since the Nicaragua Canal
bill, of which he was an ardent
supporter, was given its death
blow by the notice from the
minister of the Greater Repub
lie of Central America that
Nicaragua, which is part of
that republic, would not
ALLOW the concessions grant
ed to the Canal Company
to be controlled by the Unit
e / States, as proposed in the
bill, but would be willing 10
open negotiations on the sub
iect with this government
direct, be seems disposed to
even mp with Eng and by
trying to defeat the arbitration
treaty. Senator Morgan says
that England is merely making
a catspaw out of those little
Central American governments,
and that one of its reasons for
wanting that arbitration treaty
enforced is to get a hand in
the control of the Nicaragua
canal. This it would do, if the
arbitration treaty were in force,
by getting up dispute with

"Should the Governor convene

might be credited with the time

the matter be postponed till then.

collecting their taxes. II after

money be not sent, the authorities
place one or two hungry militia
men in the house, to be lodged

STUART CONVALEsCING.

Carson, New, Feb. 20.-Dan Stuart's
condition was reported to be far i'm
proved last night and it is thought he
will be allowed out for an airing to-
day. Stuart is pleased with announce
ment that there is a possibility of the
Missouri Legislature legaliZing box
ing and that a committee of that body
may be sent here to see how the big
"mill'' is conducted, so as to be in pO-
sition to make a report. He sent n
telegram to Representative Radie say
ing he had reserved five of the best
seats in the pavilion for the commit
tee.
COrbett expects to go out to his
training quarters this morning. The
things becoming especially noticeable
about Corbett's training, are the i'm
provement in his leg work and the
great attention he is paying to break
away hits and clinch blows, and par
ticularly the open glove shove-in-the-
face at close quarters. He seems to
be able to jump from any spot and
at any angle and land in position to
defend himself.

NO CoNsUMPTIvE WILL DIE.
So Long AS He Can Digest And AS
simulate Food.

So Long AS He Can Digest And AS
simulate Food.
All physicians admit this. Yet here
the difficulty begins. How can we
build up the consumptive's body as
fast as the disease tears it down? Let
us consider.
Cough mixture muset be avoided be-
cause they frequently contain opiates
which arrest the digestion. Their on
ly effect on the cough is by Supplying
the nerves. Let them alone.
All foods that are hard to digest
must be avoided, especially fats and
oils. Only those foods that are east
ly digested mad assimilated should be
eaten. Foods not thus accepted by
nature do no good; they do harm.
Not what is merely eaten but what is
digested and assimilated gives flesh
and strngth.
Consumption is starvation, slow or
rapid, as may be. The first symptom
is, not necessarily a cough, but ten
dency to lose flesh, to grow thin. Stop
this tendency now. Don't wait for
obvious lung trouble. That's only a
later development-only minor
point.
Stop the wasting and you master the
disease-even though it may have
made some slight inroads already. In
crease the flesh and the danger is past.
What is needed is an especially pre-
pared food-a nutriment in itself and
a digester of other foods.
Such an article is the Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial, made by the Shaker Com
munity, of Mt. Lebanon, N. Y. 1t
creates a natural appetite and insures
the digestion of what is eaten with it.
1t overcomes the wasting which is
fatal in the consumptive process.
A man may lose money and not die
a bankrupt. One may have consump-
ton and not die of it. This is science
and sense. The success of this RENE
dy proves it.
