that the Madrid government Will
ratify the treaty. With congress
ready to begin the short session on
Monday and the treaty certain to be
signed before Christmas, the admin
istration is considering whether to
submit it to the senate for ratification
at once or to wait until after March
and then call an extra session of the
senate, which will have clear repub-
lican majority OF almost two-thirds.
The danger of defeating the treaty is
not so great as is the danger of having
n few anti-expansionists monopolize
the session with long speeches in the
executive sittings, to delay all other
business before the senate.

Mr.. Purdy's Remarks on
the Cotton Industry.
SITUATION IN THIS STATE.
The Clinging TO Old Machinery is
Partly Responsible.
ADVANTAGES OF THE SOUTH.

The hearings before the joint spec ial
committee, appointed to inquire into the
depressed condition of the cotton Industry
in Rhode Island, were resumed In the
hall OF the House OF keprc sentatives at 3
O'Clock Yesterday afternoon, and very
exhaustive addr ess was made by Lawson
A. Purdy OF New York, In which he re-
viewed very thoroughly. from his stand
point the situation in Rhode Island and
the eau ses leading upfo 1t.
Mr.. Purdy said in 81 tstance that cling
ing to old machinery is the cause for de.
preston. In tho South the mills are new,
anu therefore have now machinery. be-
sides In Georgia tho plants are exempted
from taxation, and in other places their
valuation Is purposely piacea low. NO
wonder Rhode Island suffers from South
ern competition. Then the speaker
advocated exemption from taxation OF all
mill plants. One-fourth OF the states
DC cpuI Iation Is employed In factories and
one third of those in the cotton industry.
Exempt all the personal property OF the
Misunderstanding interests from taxation.
No other scheme can be devised OF
equal value which the Legislature has the
power to grant, and thereby you benefit
the entire commonwealth.
Mr.. Purdy argued that the present tax
alton system. as IL Is actually administer
ed, results In debauchine the moral
sense 1t Is q school OF perjury. IL sends
large amounts OF property into hiding.
1t draws capital In large quantities from
the state. The moral sense OF the com-
muDity Is blunted; it's citizens are made
familiar with all manner OF evasions;
they are taught to lie. |"

Mayor Courtney, In employing Paine's
celery compound in his family, had the
example and assurance of many persons
who occupy today like responsible posi-
tions In other cities.
Mayor Ramsdell OF Lynn, personal
friend of Mayor Courtney, recently gave
his opinion of this great remedy as fol-
lows:
"a previous experience with Paine's
celery compound as a restorer of exhaust
cd energy induced me recently to take 1t
again, the many duties OF the mayors
office having taxed my slight physical
resources greatly. / made % o mistas Q.

His unhesitating ecommendation dad
much to do with its use by Mayor Court

Conn, said within a day or two, speak
inR Of the same remedy:
"The modern man of business be be
