PoSToFFICE APPROPRIATION.
Current Years Appropriation In
creased ny 81, 296,932

Although the House set apart yester-
day for the consideration of the post
Office appropriation bill little time was
really devoted TO the measure. The
rules which govern the Committee Of
the Whole admit Of all sorts of digres-
sicns, and advantage Of this was taken
by some Of the members.
The bill appropriates sos, 962, 500. IS,
which is So, 296. 932 more than the appro-
priation for the current year. In open
ing the debate Mr.. Loud Of California,
Chairman of the Postoffice Committee,
explained briefly the character Of the
bill and then Mr.. Cromwell Of Ohio, a
member of the Postoffice Committee
entered into a detailed explanation of
the requirements of the Government for
the postal service.
He devoted considerable time, and so
did Mr.. Gardner of New Jersey, to the
item for rural free delivery and fast
mail service. For the rural free de-
livery the appropriation of $4,000 was
urged 1t is 100000 more than the
amount for the current year. 1t was
explained further that the bill per-
mitted the Postmaster General to use
in addition to the $4,000 a sum equal
to the aggregate compensation Of post
masters, cost Of mail transportation,
star-route service and mail messenger
service that may be discontinued be-
cause of the free rural delivery service.
This sum, it was said, would be con-
siderable, because the free delivery
would result in the abandonment Of a
number Of fourth class postoffices.
II 1r1rirarr 1aha TO

600 600 people viii enjoy the benefits Of
free delivery within five years.
Before an adjournment was taken
yesterday it was agreed that debate on
the bill shall close at o'clock today.

and Mr.. Swanson OF Virginia.

$2l, SOC, coo. Notwithstanding these heavy
shipments the foreign exchange market
continues depressed and it is likely that
tho importations will be continued until
the supply of bills heretofore carried in
this market has been forwarded to col
lection. Posted rates for sterling eX-
change were reduced today 1-2c, and the
actual market conditions reported were
little short of decentralization. London
advices today told of expectations there
that the Bank Of England would advance
its rate OF discount on Thursday. Heavy
purchases of bills by foreign banking
houses had little or no effect upon ster-
Inns rates, but as the banking houses in
question called in their loans on the stock
exchange. slightly higher rates were
made i'm that division of the money mar
ket- Bank officials report little demand
for time money, but on the other hand the
disposition of money lenders to employ
their funds at long periods causes these
rates to be well maintained. The de-
mand for currency from banks in the in
terror continues fairly heavy, but the re-
ceipts of gold serve to offset this drain.
The movements of prices in today's
market followed a somewhat irregular
course. The idea prevailed yesterday re-
gardng the chances for a peaceable dip
lomatic settlement of the Cuban queS-
ton, and today found still wider accep-
lance and they superficialIy accounted for
a further sharp advance in the market in
the first half of the day. The trading
during that time was upon very heavy
scale, particularly in the granger shares
Manhattan and Union Pacific preferred
The lower prices reported for American
stocks in the London market had no more
than temporary effect and the early
market accepted without f1inching the
fairly heavy sales for foreign account
Subsequently and with no actual or ru-
mored changes in the situation the
market became dull and heavy BY rea-

lations. If so requested.
Mr.. Boutelle asked unanimous consent
for the consideration of the bill.
The only Directing voice came from Mr..
Loud Of California.
Mr.. Boutelle was thunderstruck at the
objection. He looked at Mr.. Loud for
moment, evidently wrestling with his
feelings, and then in 4 most contemptu-
Gus tone exclaimed:

SHARP REACTION IN WHEAT.

Largely by Shorts

Chicago, March 15.-Wheat opened at
about yesterdays close, and with light
offerings under fair demand the market
advanced / lac for July. The improve

followed by a rapid reaction, which car

the clique have shipped 10000 bushels
during the last week the contract stock
decreased only 1875 900 bushels.
There is every indication that unless
there is some change in present conditions
receipts of wheat here between now and

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People RidicuIe the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, II Not Argument
and Facts are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
pie are apt 10 look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming 10 be radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on never be-
ing humbueged, especially on medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged may be
carried too far: SO far. ia fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak diPes-
ton, rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims OF
a preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different IN one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret rat
ent medicine. no secret is made Of their
ingredients, but analysis shows them 10
contain the natural digestive ferments,
pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux.
They are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ. but they
cure Indigestion on the cOmmOn-sense
plan Of digesting the food eaten promptly,
thoroughly before il has time 10 ferment
sour and cause the mischief This is the
only secret Of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely upon the
bowels. whereas the whole trouble is real
ly IN the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there
Is TO IL. Food not digested or half di-
gested is poison, as ii creates gas, acid
fly, headaches, palpitation Of the heart

The markets had varied career yes
terday from the most enthusiastic
strength in the morning to something
very like panic in the afternoon The
reason for the change of tone is hard
10 discover. The early strength was
undoubtedly due to the peace-at-any-
price tone Of all the newspapers, which
Mas more marked in it's unanimity than
al any time since the disaster to the
Maine a month ago. The supposition
is that the street began To realize after
a while that even if Mr.. Mckinley is
for peace at all hazards to his own
and to the nations honor, the difficulty
is not by any means settled and prob
ably Will not be with peace. The con-
gressmen both in the upper and lower
houses are talking very savagely over
the sinister look of the evidence OF
treachery published in The Times and
other papers and they are very positive
in their statements that they will not
allow Congress to adjourn until the
Cuban question is settled. All this is
not calculated TO inspire a Wall Street
man with buoyancy.
