NO ARMY BILL
Will Pass if the Democrats Can Pre-
vent It


Washington. Feb. 22.-Forma1 dis
cussion of the HuI1-Hawley army re-
organization bill was begun in the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Hawley
and Mr.. Warren, Republicans, support
ed the measure and Mr.. Mitchell and
Mr.. CockrelI, Democrats, opposed it,
while Mr.. Proctor (Rep) addressed the
senate in favor of some amendments
which he had proposed to the bill All
the speakers are members OF the com
mittee on military affairs. Mr.. CockrelPS
speech, though brief, was particularly
notable, as he spoke definitely for the
opposition to the army bill. He de-
clared practically in so many words
that the HulI-Hawley bill could not be-
come a law at this session. He and
those who stood with him were willing
TO give the president all the money and
every man he desired but they were
determined that no great standing army
should be fastened upon the country
without full and free discussion. The
postoffice appropriation bill was passed,
Mr. Butler IN. c. and Mr. Pettigrew
Is. d. having concluded their speeches.
Soon after the senate convened Mr.
Pettigrew Is. ID presented resolutions
of the legislature of South Dakota urg-
ing the senators of that state to support
the treaty of peace. Commening upon
the resolutions, Mr.. Pettigrew said that
he denied the right of the legislature to
instruct him. Although he was always
glad to hear from that body.
THE present legislature of South
was elected a senator the last time. In
one a resolution was passed endorsing
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Both houses of the next legislature
passed a similar resolution. The pres
ent legislature is in favor OF the single
gold standard. If I should undertake
to follow the course laid down by the
legislature l would be on almost every
side of almost every public question"
The conference report on the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill was agreed to.
Mr.. Allison reported from the finance
committee, house joint resolution

BATTING THE GOVERNMENT
Sagasta is Having Hard Time With
the Opposition.

Madrid, Feb. 22.-In the chamber of
deputies today the opposition continued
to bait the government. Senior Canale
jas put a long string of questions to
the minister of finance, Senior Puigcer-
Yer, who declined to reveal the con-
tents of the projected bills. The min
lister, however, said he hoped in due
time to introduce measures to settle
the arrears of pay of the soldiers re-
turned from Cuba and to deal with the
payment of Cuban and Philippine debts
To this Senior CanalejaS replied:
Nothing could be conceived more
1amentable than the words of the min
lister of finance. 1t is evident that he
has prepared no bills at all, despite the
gravity of the situation
Senior Canalejas then proceeded to
censure the government caustically, at
tributing it's careless glibness of ex-
plana ton" to the fact that it was one
in office. He said he thought Senior
Puigcerver would have done better to
acknowledge frankly that this was the
reason why no bills had been prepared.
In the senate Count d'Almenas re-
sumed the attacks begun by him yes
terday upon the generals who were en-
gagged in the war in Cuba. He COM
planned that chests of gold sent out to
pay troops in Cuba had been returned
to Spain intact and unopened, just as
they had been sent out. In terms of
special severity he criticised Capt.
AunOn, the minister of marine
Twice he was called upon by the
president to withdraw his remarks and
his speech was attended throughout
with great uprOar.
Marshal Martinez de Campos defend
ed Gen. Linares, who was in command
of the Spanish troops at Santiago at
the capitulation against the charge of
treason brought by Count d'AlmenaS,
adding that the latter would not dare
repeat his charges outside the court.
Count d'Almenas essayed q reply, but
he refused to hear him
Senior Sagasta, the premier, who
spoke amid Increasing tumuit, deplored
the attitude of Count d Almenas and
defended the governments conduct. He
concluded by calling for the closure.
The debate was adjourned.

New York, Feb 22.-If all goes well
New Workers will be running theo-
logical seminary in Africa before the
close of the year. The land is bought.

WILD RUMORS AFLOAT
AS to the Intentions of the Royalists
in France.

Paris, Feb. 22.-Wild rumors are
af1oat as to the doings and intentions
of the Bonapartists and Orleanists pre-
tenders; but the general belief is that
neither will do anything serious in the
face of the general acquiescence in NJ.
Loubet's election, although further dis
turbances are threatened after NJ
Faure's funeral.
The message Of the new president TO
parliament has greatly strengthened his
position, the agitation fonented by
Messrs. Cope and LIE Matrie against
him has incensed the moderate mem
bers of La Patrie Franchise and they
threaten to break up the organization.
NJ. Brunetire and several other mem
from the league protest and their
action will probably prove a great
damper upon further disorders prompt
ed by the organization.

THE POPE'S LETTER
Is Laudatory of Cardinal Gibbons and
American Catholics.

Rome, Feb. 22.-The pope's encyclicaI
letter, which occupied five columns in
lauding Cardinal Gibbons and the
American Catholics. Abiding to the
many proofs of his good will he has
given them in the past, the pope wishes
them to see in the present document an
other proof OF his affection for America.
While he makes it clear that the let
ter is one of warning and correction
with reference to the Life of Father
Hecker," his holiness carefully distin-
guishes between the doctrinal aspects
of the new theories and questions of
practical discipline and strongly urges
the impoSsibility of any change in the
former.
While admitting that the church has
always recognized and acted upon the
necessity of adapting certain points of
discipline to modern reQuiTe mentS, it
rests with the church, the pope points
out, and not with individuals, to de-
termine how and when such adaptionS
can be made.
"All virtues" says his holiness, must
necessarily be active. The contempt
shown by innovators for what they are
pleased to call the passive virtues has
naturally led to a contempt of religious
life as suited only to the weak and as
an impeachment to Christian perfection
and to the good of the community
This error the pope theoretically con-
dennis, declaring it Injurious to the
religious orders and in contradiction to
history
He reminds the Americans of their
indebtedness to the religious orders,
both active and contemplative.
The letter arouses deep interest in
Rome.
The liberal papers declare that it con-
stitutes solemn manifestation of the
! intransigeant spirit in Catholicism and
predict that it will produce an immense
effect in America
AN ENGLISH VIEW OF 1T.
London, Feb. 22-The Rome cores
pondent of the Times says:
Generally speaking, the encyclical is
regarded as a qualified condemnation
of the Hecker doctrines. 1t would be
erroneous to suppose that it condemns
or directly affects Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Ireland or the group of en-
! lghtened prelates who have so largely
contributed to the spread of Catholicism
in the United States.
"It is partly the outcome of a deep
laid, long matured intrigue and if this
is the only result of twelve months
plotting it is clear that the letter will
strengthen rather than weaken the
position of the American prelates,
whom the intrigue was intended to
overthrow.
Throughout the letter phases of the
bitter conflict which preceded it's pub
LEGATION the pope displayed Il prudence
and perspicacity astonishing in a man
of his age placed in a position where
unbiased information is not readily
forthcoming

and told her my name, Dorsie, and Of
grandpapa, and all our pet names at

her glasses and asked me to go to the
other side of the room, so she could see
me better.
Then she took a little jewel case ana
said This is for you 1 opened it
and saw a darling little brooch with a

The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The DOCTORS treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.
8. 81 goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
