LOOKED LIKE A VOTE
Senators Ready for Test on
 BdCOn'S Resolutions.
Arrival of Hour for Executive SeS- sion Alone Prevented Action. Senator Teller Urges Ratification of Peace Treaty..

Washington, Feb Tor 8 few minutes this afternoon it seemed likely that a vote might be taken on one or more of the pending resolutions re- lating to expansion. An unusually large number of republican senators were in attendance all of them having been notified to be present in the event of a critical vote on the pending ques- tion.
 MT. Bacon of Georgia had called up his resolutions and MT. Chandler of New Hampshire had withdrawn his motion to refer them to the committee cn foreign relations. MT. Sullivan Of Mississippi had entered motion to substitute his resolutions for those of MT Bacon, while MT. Davis, chairman of the foreign relations committee, had announced that he was willing that vote should be taken immediately.
 As it was evident, however, that vote on the resolutions and amend ments could net be taken before oclock-the hour fixed by unanimous consent for the senate to go into execu- tive session-Mr. Bacon asked for unanimous consent that the vote be taken at 12:30 tomorrow. To this re- quest Mir Carter of Montana objected and the whole question was left sus- pended.
 MT Rawlins of Utah addressed the senate upon the Vest anti-expansion resolution, devoting the greater part of his time to a defense of his position, that the constitution applies as well to people Of our territories as to those of states.
 MT Lindsay of Kentucky offered a joint resolution to the effect that the acquisition by the United States through conquest, treaty or otherwise, of territory net adjacent to the con tinent of North America, carries with it no constitutional or moral obligation to admit it as 8 territory, or any DOT ton thereof in the Federal Union as state or states. At MT. Lindsay's re- quest the resolution was left on the table subject to call.
 When the senate went into executive session Senator Teller took the floor in support of ratification of the peace treaty He replied to many objections to the treaty, and urged favorable ac- tiOn as the only A~iSe and safe course for the country under the existing cir cunStanCeS

Paris, Feb. 1.-The most ardent sup porters of the theory that Dreyfus was unjustly condemned now admit that there is no longer the least hope that justice will be done.

CHECK ON DISHONESTY.
Bank Presidents Invention Which
 Duplicates Deposit Entries.

New York, Feb. 1.-The Union Dime Saving institution at Broadway and Thirty second street has for some time been using a machine constructed at the suggestion of the president, Chas. E. Sprague, intended to make next to impossible any mistake in the entry of the receipts, of the payments of the bank, as well as to prevent dishonest manlpulatlpns of the accounts by the clerks. This machine, which is used to enter deposits and drafts upon the books of the depositors makes at the same time a duplicate registration up on a tape, which is locked in the ma chine and cannot be tempered with, and thus is made a complete record of the days transactions. The teller cannot enter an item upon a deposi- tors book without it's being recorded on this tape, a fact that preclude5 not only unintentiOnal discrepancies, but also falsification of the entries, as well as suppression of items
 Another feature of tEe machine is that it records by means of an adding machine of novel design the total Of the banks transactions, the officers be- ing thereby enabled to determine in a moment the days receipts or disburse- ments without figuring them out from the books, which are kept in the usual way, and upon which the machine acts as a check.

FOR COST OF FLORAL WREATH.
Ex-Premiar of Canada Sued for Flow
 CTS Sent to Funeral.

Toronto, Ont, Feb. 1-Suit was en- tered today in the high court of Canada against Sir Mackenzie Boswell, con- serva.tive eX-premier of Canada, for $1 1,141, the cost of a wreath placed on the coffin of Sir John Thompson, who, while premier of the dominion, died on December F, 1894 when on visit to the queen at Windsor castle.
 The wreath was supplied by w. R. Davidson, florist. Mont. cal, on the or der of Sir Mackenzie Boswell, who was made premier on Sir John Thomp- sons death. When the accounts of the state funeral were presented, 'tOtaling $25,OOO, there were charges of various kinds made, and much haggling took place, the conservatives themselves doing the kicking.
 When Sir Wilfred Laurier and a lib- eral cabinet came into pcwe- in. July. 1896, the wreath account was pre- sented, but again the conservatives, al though then and now in opposition, objected, and the amount was refused. Unless conservatives promptly and pri- vately subscribe the amount long legal fight will begin after the usual ten days from tOday's service of writ. The account is made up of $500 for the wreath and $241 for interest The florist who supplied it is dead and the acUion has been taken by his execu- tors

About Mocha Coffee.

Although every grocer In this and
most other countries will supply his
customers with as much "Moeha
Coffee" as they choose to pay for,
there is very general impression,
amounting practically to a belief,
that the name is merely one Of the
comparatively harmless little con-
ventions of trade, and that real Mo-
cha coffee is commodity too small
in quantity and too high in price for
ordinary dealers to sell or ordinary
consumers to buy. Mr.. e. S. Cum
ningham, the American consul at
Alden, seems to have been troubled by
the skepticism of his countrymen on
this point, and report just made by
llim, without going to the length of
denying the justice of doubt in re-
lation to any or even every particu-
lar package of Mocha" does show
that far from inconsiderable ship
ments of the genuine article come to
the United States annually, and that
therefore the commercial designa-
ton cannot always be inaccurate.
In the year ending with June 80,
1899, for instance, the expectation
form Alden and Hodeida of high
priced coffee grown on the Arabian
peninsula amounted to 32,156 bags,
or 5,144,960 pounds, the invoiced
value of which was $S92,825. This
cuts but small figure, to be sure.
i'll cur total importations Of coffee,
but it is something, especially as not
quite everybody here insists on
drinking Mocha, either real or pre-
tended. AS for the other suspicion
that coffee from East Indian ports
is sometimes turned into pure Mocha
by few days rest in the Alden ware
house-Mr. Cunningham declares
that it has no foundation in fact.
Strict precautions against this sort
of fraud are taken by the Alden board
Of trade, and he believes that neither
mixing or substitution is practised
there. What happens in this
country the consul does not pretend
ltc say.

chard of the ninth cavalry, acting
together with Adjt. Gen. Scurry, as
sisted by T. w. Kennedy, county
Judge; w. w. Shelley, sheriff, Knox
Jones, county attorney Henryl F.
Hoard and F. w. Seabury, were in
session yesterday morning at the
court house hearing witnesses as to
the late shooting.
1t is admitted that the soldiers flr-
ed on the town with Krag-Jorgen-
sens and gatling gun. The disput-
ed point is, who STATED the firing.
The testimony of the citizens this
morning goes to show that the sol
diers fired without provocation by
the citizens, and that the latter fred
but eight or ten shots during tbs
second and third volleys by the sol.
diers. The testimony by the soldiers
will probably be averse to the con.
tention by the citizens.
| &Col. Roberts, Capt. Day and Lieut..
Pritchard and Adjt. Gen. Scurry are
now hearing testimony in the post.
The soldiers contention that they
did not leave the fence around the
post is contradicted by the testimony
of citizens and the finding of several
pounds of empty shells in the brush
much nearer to town.
Nothing definite is now known as
to the conclusions which Col. Roberts
and Adjt. Gen. Scurry will reach as
TO the origin and responsibility of
the trouble, but suppositioDs are
that they will make differentreports.

A FOrerunner of the Most
 Fatal Disease.

Though it's offensive features are sometimes almost unbearable, few people are aware of the danger of which Catarrh is the forerun- her. Catarrh invariably leads to Consumption. Growing worse and worse each winter, those who rely upon the usual treatment of sprays, washes and inhaling mix lures find that it is impossible to check the disease with these local applications which only reach the surface. The offensive discharge increases all the while, causing feeling of personal defilement, and gets deeper and deeper until it Is only q question of short time until the lungs are affected.
 The importance of the proper treatment can therefore be readily appreciated. But no good what ever can be expected from local applications, as such treatment never did cure Catarrh, and never will.
