Mark Close OF the Session.

Washington, July S.-The end of this
session of Congress in the House was
marked by two notable incidents.
one was sensationally partisan, we'll
nigh resulting in personal conflicts
upon the floor; the other was notably
patriotic and swept away all signs of
the former. In the former, Messrs.
Ray, Rep. n. Y, Handy, DEM. Del,
Cannon Rep. H., and Ball. Dem,
Texas, were the principal participants
In the latter all members joined, ire
spcctive of party affiliations.
After the rather stormy session OF
two hours, the members of the House
when adjournment was announced
joined in cheers for the President ana
war heroes and the singing of patriotic
songs. making perhaps the most not
able ending to a session since the civil
War.
The only measure of Importance
passed was a bill to reimburse states
for expenses incurred in aiding the or
ganiZation of the volunteer army.

ASTHMA CURED.

What l suffered with Asthma for IL
years no human being can imagine.
From the first breath of cold weather till
spring my life was torture. Frequently
l would have two attacks in q hours,
when for three hours at a time l could
scarcely speak or swallow, or get my
breath. Propped up in bed, unable to
lie down, coughing and strangling, dur
ing these paroxisms it seemed that every
moment would be my last The best
doctors and all the celebrated Asthma
cures did not give me even temporary
relief. | used six $500 bottles of one
cure, but the first relief l obtained was
in using Bya-iHH Balm. That was in
September, 1888. ! used four 50 cent
bottles during the winter following and
did not have one attack. Nor have /
had a single attack during the past
twelve years | always keep Brazilian
Balm on haud and at the hrst sign of
-old take It and am quickly cared and
all right. In TACT the Balm is the doc tor

wonderful what it will do Nothing is
too hard for it. We have practically
had no doctors bills since we began to
use it. If people only knew its value,

General Weyler purchased a large
quantity Of dynamite, submarine wire

WeYler denies that he placed any sub

What did he do with the material
adapted for the purpose OF making

this country? 1t will be observed that
the exact language Of Weyler's denial
does not relieve Spain of the necessity
OF explaining the situstion. Weyler
says in his statement made TO the New
York World: IL never laid any mines
inside the harbor OF Havana. But that
does not mean that l had not formed
plans Of fortihcAtions and defenses IN
case OF any emergency or conflict "
General Weyler does not deny that be
made plans Of defense" in case OF
an emergency" Is il not possible
that someone carried cut those plans
so far Us the destruction Of the Maine

There ought to be considerable light
shed on this matter il the history Of
