THE CABINET HOPEFUL.
The Philippine Situntion Regarded
with Less Concern.

Secretary Hitchcock attended his first
Cabinet meeting yesterday. 1t lasted an
hour and half. and Secretaries A'ger.
Long. and Wilson were absent. Mr..
Hitchcock was accompanied to the White
House by his predecessor, Mr.. Bliss, who.
after formally Introducing him as the Sec
retary of the Interior, withdrew.
Affairs in the Philippines furnished the
principal topic of discussion. a number
OF questions were raised and considered,
but no definite decisions were reached.
The dispatch received from General Gus.
announcing the voluntary surrender of tn
island of Negros, was read, and the Pres
ident expressed his qualification over the
news. This action on the part OF the Fill
pinos, together with the existing condi-
tions around Manila, the memb-rs of the
Cabinet believe. indicate an early term-
nation of the insurrection in the islands.
Plans were discussed relative to the es-
tablishnent of permanent garrison posts in
the principal seaport towns OF the Phllip-
pines. Nothing was decided upon further
than that regular troops will be utilized
for this purpose, in accordance with the
desire of the Administration to so dis
tribute the American forces in the Philip
pines that the volunteer regiments may be
ordered home as soon as possible.
President Mckinley acquainted the
members of his Cabinet with the details of
the situation in Cuba and the pfobabi ties
of the Cuban army accepting the offer OF
$3.O00.000 for the payment OF the troops.
Mr.. Mckinley held an extended conversa-
tion with Senior Quesada at the White
House Monday afternoon. During the con-
ference the Cuban Charge d'Afaires as
sured the President that there was no
doubt that the Cubans would accept the
offer of the United States.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not He Alarmed. But Look for
the Cause.


Heart troubles. at least among the
Americans. are certainly increasing. and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
citement and worry of American business
life, it is more often the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is ncurable: but
not one case in a hundred of heart trouble
is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves,
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastrc
In another way, also. the heart is affect
ed by the form of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food There is a feeling of op-
preston and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs. interfering with their
action: hence arise palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making ii thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and 20
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe. pleasant and effective
digestive preparation. like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores. and which contain val
liable. harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant. convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular persist
ent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Full sized package OF these tablets sold
by druggists at 80 cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free. Address

A NEW DISTRICT JUDGE.
Harry VI. Ciabaugh. of Mary land.
Succeeds senator NcCOmES.

Harry NJ. Clabaugh, present Attorney
General of Maryland was yesterday nomi
mated by President Mckinley for the po-
sition OF Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia. made
vacant by the election of Louis L. Nc
Comas, also of Maryland to the United
States Senate. The appointment is a pop
ular one, Judge Clabaugh being we'll
known and liked by members of the bar
of the District of Columbia. and it is prob
able that it will be confirmed by the Sen
ate at once.
Judge Clabaugh's appointment was not
unexpected. For some time his friends, SEN
ator- elect McComas among them, have urg-
ed upon the President his desirabiity as
a nominee to the vacant judgship, and
several days ago it was definitely an
nounced that he would be given the place.
He had practically no opposition. and be
sides his political influence, the leading
members OF the District Bar Association
called on the President and urged his selec-
tion.
Judge Clabaugh earned his reputation as
a lawyer early in life. He was born in
Cumberland. Md. July 16. 1856, and his
early boyhood was spent in that city.
When he was six years of age his father,
c. ". Clabaugh. removed with his family
to Baltimore. where the son received his
ia tuutdtiOH tHt pubic SCHOOLS.
In 1873 the family again removed to Car
roll county, and Judge Glabaugh was sent
to the Pennsylvania College at Gettys-
burg. graduating in 1917. In 1878 he grad
uated from the Law class of the Cniversi-
ty of Maryland.
After graduating he read law with Ber-
nard Carter in the city of Baltimore. and
he began the practice of his profession
there. In 1880, however. his father died
and he removed TO Carroll county. where
he has since divided his time between ag-
ricultural pursuits and the law He has
been for number of years prominent in
Republican politics in Maryland, and was
a delegate to the National Convention in
Chicago which nominated James G. Blaine
for President in 1884 Later he was NOM
mated for the State Senate from his coun-
ty, but was defeated by Pinkney ]. Ben
nett.
Judge Clabaugh was made Chairman of
the Republican State Committee of Mary
land in 1891 and was reelected four years
ago He was nominated for Attorney Cen
eral in 1895.
Nearly all of the older members of the
bar of Washington are personally acquaint-
ed with Judge Clabaugh and those who
are not have known him favorably by rep
utation as a brilliant lawyer and a CON
scientious worker His selection by the
President has given general satisfaction.

CUTTING DOWN THE FORCE.
More Than Thousand Snow-shoyeI-
ers Paid ON

More than thousand discharged snow
shovelers swarmed around the sheds of
Daggett & Dugan, the District street
cleaning contractors. yesterday. and re-
ceived pay for the work they did in re-
moving snow from the streets of the city
last week.
The task of paying these men was no
small job. Most of the faces were new to
the contractors, and in the emergency dur
ing which they were engaged the custo-
mary method of numbering them for the
purpose of facilitating payment could rot
be adopted. F. \. LaRowe. super.nt ndent
for the contractors, directed the payment
of the men. who lined up and passed before
the pay window and We're chez ked of N
alphabetical order. Almost eleven hun
dred men, carried on the payrolls last
week. were paid.
The snow shoyeling force is being de-
pleted now, in view of the decreased
amount of work required. The contractors
had about 200 shoyelers working yester-
day. where they had 1000 men last week
The entire force of men at work now does
not number more than a thousand.
Men are being discharged by degrees
so that the cleaning force may be reduced
to its normal size. Some of the men who
were discharged yesterday complained
that the contractors refused to pay them
and that they were discharged because
they had asked for their wages Superin
tendent LaRowe explained matters very
clearly. He stated that it is CUSTOMARY
10 pay on Fridays. During the present
emergency when so many men, most of
them strangers, were employed it required
more time to make out the pay rolls For
this reason the men are being paid on
Tuesday for the week ending the previous
Friday. The men who were discharged
yesterday and who complained of not being
paid probably misunderstood the situation,
The work Of the snow shovelers was
yesterday confined to hauling snow piles
and embankments from the city streets.

blessing upon the work OF the association
and prayed that peace and truth might pre-
vail upon earth. Mrs. Roberts. State Re-

of the work of the Daughters of the Amer

of the task of selecting the large number
of nurses and sending them to the front
where their services were so badly needed.
There were thousands of women who de-
sired to volunteer and the task OF selecting
those best fitted for the work was n great
undertaking. The committees and officers
were obliged to make Washington their
headquarters during that time and their
labors were carried on faithfully. Each OF
the State Regents gave their support to the
work by keeping themselves in touch with
the committees in Washington The work OF
sending garments and reading material TO

their stubborn patriotism. The American
soldier was never n soldier of fortune who
fights with an oath upon his lips. His
history has become immortal, and back

the government because it is claimed
that publication would cause compli-

The secret dossier has been in exclusive
control of the general staff up to the

saying what it may contain. So far
the entire nasty Dreyfus mess has
shown so much corruption, conspiracy
and forgery that the value of this Sc
cret dossier is very problematical.
