There is much speculation as to the
nature Of the amendment in the answer
Of the United States that the ambassa-
dor succeeded in inducing President Nc
Kinley to make after the document had
been so carefully constructed by his
cabinet. All that can be knowingly
stated Is that it relates to that part Of
the answer which deals with the future
Of the Philippines. 1t is known that the
Spanish efforts were coucentrated upon
the retention Of the islands and the
Madrid cabinet was willing to make al

that end. Whether or not the ambas

What They Say is of Local
Interest.

When an incident like the following occurs
r'ght here at home, it is bound to carry weight
with our readers. When 50 many strange
occurrences go the rounds of the press; are
published as facts; when the intelligent
reader knows they cannot be true, there is
no wonder that the people become skeptical.
On one subject skepticism is rapidly disap-
bearing This is due to the actual personal
experiences of our citizens and their public
utterances regarding them, The doubter
must doubt no more in the face of such
evidence as this. The public statement of a
reputable citizen living right here at home,
one who you can see every day, leaves no
ground for the skeptic to stand OIL

WHAT 1T INDICATES

Nothing so interferes with ones plans or
ambition like sickness or poor health. Have
you ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness? You can easily find
out by setting aside your urine for twenty four
hours a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain i'll the
back, iSalso convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
1t is a source of comfort to know that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great remedy for
all kidney and bladder complaints 1t relieves
pain, stitch or dull aching in the back, difficult
or painful urination, frequent desire to urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night. The mild and extraordinary effect o
Swamp-Root is soon realized. Its action is
gentle, yet immediate, the relief speedy and
the cures permanent. At druggists fifty cents

"It is an error to say that the gov

ncmocrnts For Recognition.

The Democrats, both of the commit
tee and the house, have taken an un-
equivocal position i'm favor of the rec
ognition of independence, although
there is a difference of opinion as to
whether Intervention would follow. A
majority Of the Republicans of the
committee have within a few days de-
clared themselves for Intervention and
independence. Two of them, Messrs.
Quigg of New York and Henry of Indi-
ana while they do not favor recogni-
tion of the existing republic, have
earnestly advocated a declaration to
the effect that Spain's dominion over
the island cease, leaving to the future
the question of the actual government
of the island.
But in the desire of the Republicans
of both houses to secure harmony of
action some of the advocates of inde-
pendence have about come to the con-
clusion that the difference between
armed Intervention and recognition is
more technical than substantial, as un-
less the island should be annexed, to
which they are opposed, a republican
form of government for the island
must follow. 1t seems probable that
existing differences may at least to
some extent be adjusted, and whether
all the Republicans agree to a resolu-
tiun declaring for Intervention only or
not such a resolution viii be reported.
1t seems equally certain that a resolu-
tion for Independence possibly coupled
with intervention will be presented by
the minority No definite arrange
ments have yet been made as to the
debate, but there seems to be no de-
mand for prolonged time. Mr.. Bailey,
Of the minority thinks two days ought
to suffice, and some of the Republicans
think our action would be strengthen
ed if there were no debate at all. Two
/ days seems to be the general opinion
/ as to the length of the debate. There
| probably will be considerable pressure
| for time for brief speeches, as many
members desire to bury their hatchet

Senators working For Harmony.
The week in the senate probably will
| be given entirely to the Cuban ques-
/ ton. The presidents message will be
referred promptly to the committee on
foreign relations, and the present un-
derstanding is that no report Will be
made by the committee before tomor-
row. The report may, in case of the
development Of radical differences in
the committee, be delayed to even a
later day.
There is a decidedly strong disposi-
tion on the part of many of the sena-
tors who are not members of the COM
mittee to have the senate as body

WARRING RELIGIOUS FACTIONS
Indulge In n sunday Riot and Wreck
n Buffalo Church.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 11.-There was a
riot in front of the new Polish church,
on Playter street, near Broadway, yes
terday afternoon. For nearly an hour
the air was full of flying stones, and
the street was black with an angry,
vicious mob. The doors of the church
were broken in, and all Of the windows
in the front smashed before the police
arrived, The riot grew out of a split
in the Polish Roman Catholic church,
The church that was attacked is a tenn
porary structure, built by Apolinary
Karowsk and his followers, who ceded
recently from the church of Bishop
Kaminlski. The police had to be rein
forced before quiet could be restored,
and more trouble is looked for, es-
pecially on Wednesday, when the new
church is to be dedicated No one was
seriously hurt during the rioting.
