Demanding the Attention
of Congress
HAWAII AND CORBETT'S CASE
THE RAGS WHICH THE SENATE
WILL CHEW ON
ANY Old Question Is Good Enough to
Start Political Debate in
the House
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. - The atten.
ton of the senate this week will in al
probability be divided between the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty, appropriation
bills and the right of w. H. Corbett to a
seat in the senate from Oregon The
treaty will proba bly, occupy the greater
share of attention Monday, but after
that the committee on appropriations
will claim the time for the Indian appro-
prlation, which it is expected will be
reported early in the week. This bill
will provoke considerable debate, and
by the time it is disposed Of the commit
tee on appropriations hopes to have the
Notifications bill before the senate. Sen
ator Hoar will at the same time press the
Corbett matter upon the attention of the
senate as matter of the highest priv
ilege, and several speeches will be made
upon it. 1t does not appear probable,
however that a vote will be reached
during the week on the Corbett resolu-
ton.
IN THE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, Feb. ct is prob
able that the program of the house,
which has been confined almost eXclus-
lively this session to the consideration of
appropriation bills, will be varied this
week with the consideration of con-
tested election case.
1t is the purpose of the house leaders
to keep the house appropriation bills to
the front in order to obtain final early
adjournment, or, as the alternative
throw the responsibility for delay on the
senate. But after the Notifications bill
is disposed of only one other appropria-
ton is on the calendar for the present
the military academy. and it should not
consume more than few hours.
1t is the intention of the leaders, there
fore. to fill the hiatus this week with the
considera ton of the Aldrich- -Plowman
contested case from the fourth Ala bama
district. The elections committee di-
vided on this case on party lines, and
the indications are therefore that the
house will do the same, and Mr.. Plow-
man will be unseated. The members on
both sides of the house have been using
the latitude allowed in debate on appro-
priation. bills to make campaign
speeches to be used more or less ex-
tensively in the impending congression-
al campaign this fall, and these are like
ly to continue indefinitely. All the men,
bers are keenly alive to opportunities
to make political capital for themselves
or their party. and this fact may at any
time upset prearranged program plans
by plunging the house into rancorous
and acrimonious political discussion.
The Democrats and Populists seem to be
directing their assaults principally
against the Republican claim that pros
perity has returned to the country, so
that all evidence on this point, pro or
con, is. likely to find it's way sooner or
later into the Congressional Record for
distribution this fall.

count of bad track. The accident oc-
Cured on a small bridge over dry
stream which had ben swollen by the
recent heavy rains. The stream is not
more than 25 feet wide. The engine

partly over. The engineer and fireman
stuck to their posts and were unhurt.

TURKISH TROUBLES
Evacuation of Thessaly Accompanied
With Bloodshed

LONDON, Feb. 6.-Sanguinary con-

troops and the peasants in Thessaly.
1t is reported that the Turks have oc-
cupied several villages and that hun
dred persons have been killed

Times says: The Turks, after severe
fighting, have occupied and burned four
villages in the Agrapha district, in the
north of Acarnania, about midway be-
tween Arata and Domoko. Eight thou
sand Turkish troops were engaged in the
conflicts.
1t is reported that in the neighborhood
of Palaekastron the Turks were re-

situation is ominous. 1t is probable that
the Cretan question will be dropped.

SUNDAY CYCLING
Won't Cause Ripple at the L. A. w.
Meet

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-Next Wednesday
the national assembly of the League of
American Wheelmen will begin a three
days session. There is much to be ac-
complished at the convention, but the
most important matter will be the cleo
tion of officers. There is considerable
rivalry for the position of president be-
tween Isaac p. Potter, incumbent, and
George D. Gideon, the ex-chairman of
the racing board. President Sterling
Elliott of Massachusetts is back of the
Gideon boom. While it is known that
Gideon would be good man for pres-
dent, the chances seem against his cleo
ton. 1t is stated that the Potter ticket
has allowed Pennsylvania, the second
strongest division of the league, to name
the first vice-president, and the support
of the keystone state has been prom
ised them.
There are almost any number of res
olutions to be acted upon, and they will
be the subject of much debate. Almost
every delegate to the assembly has a
pet idea of his own. 1t is not expected
that the fight for the granting of local
option will amount to much. Missouri,
as we'll as majority of the western and
southern states, Is known to be in favor
of this movement being passed, but the
eastern states are opposed to it, and as
they practically control the league, what
they say will go.

acknowledged originators of the new and now
widely adopted method of treating chronic and
complicated disorders.
Their reputation rests not on the cheap, trans

long list of cured patients, visible local wit
nesses of their skill. As physicians OF business
and social status in the community they pledge
complete course of treatment and ultimate cure

prices within the reach of all.
They are regular graduates in medicine from
some of the best medical colleges in the world
and hold licenses to practice from different State

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you
can not get better price for it?
Ans. AS there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller ON single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is moth
ing equal to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For sale by c. E. Grafton.
