Payne and Bailey in Tilt.
A little passage at arms between Mr.
Payne of New York and Mr.. Bailey Of
Texas was thrown into the debate at this
point. Earlier in the day Mr.. Bailey had
called attention to Mr., Payne's remarks
yesterday imputing to him statement thai
the proposition to disband the Democratic
party was now being discussed, and sug-
gestel a withdrawal Of the imputation
after he had read his speech, Having done
this, Mr.. Payne frankly said that his s-ate-
ment was not justified by what Mr. Bailey
had said. He said that the country and the
House probably were 10 be congraJu. ated
upon the fact tnat an opposit on party be
ing inevitable. it was 10 be found in the
organization Of the Democratic party, how
ever far it had stTayed from the Old-time
principles of Democracy.
MIR. Bailey with some show of temper,
said the Republican party was to be con
graduated upon having floor leader WEo,
when compelled TO withdraw a statement
/ misrepresenting a member on the foor,
sought to evaLe the consequences Of that
act by making a contemplate, malignant
partisan speech. IApplause-l
Mr.. Payne warmly retorted that he had
not been compelled TO make any retractiOn
or withdrawal. and he had no apologies 10
make for his speech Of yesterday, being
satisfied 10 leave it with the House upon
he record Of the speeches. What he had
said had been said out of a spirit of cour-
tesy and good nature to the gentleman
from Texas.

Payne had ceased to speak to resent the

WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach Of Motherhood is the
Occasion Of Much Anxiety to All.

Occasion Of Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is source OF
constant anxiety, fear and dread. to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entaiis. The joyous
nnticipations with which she looks for
ward TO baby's coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight q
remedy which insures to them inn
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental TO collaborating.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour of
childbirth. Mothers Friend"-is a
scientific liniment-and il used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
parative ease and comfort. This Won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it,.
What woman Is not interested in
"Mether's Friend?' This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price
less value proven by the experience of
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach
and elimination of motherhood.
1t has won their everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need "Mother's Friend >" The
little book, Before Baby is Born"
telling all about it, and when it should
be used, will prove of great interest and
benefit to all expectant mothers, and

fects the northern section of the city but
it is believed that the Rockefeller move will
cause the Sage interests to accept the cut
and thus lower the gas rates throughout
the city to the same basis of Go cents or
perhaps even lower.
This is the latest notable illustration OF
the fact that the cost of illuminating gas
Is very much lower than the retail rate
would disclose. What can be done profit
ably in New York by competing companies
can assuredly be done profitably in Wash
ington by single company monopoizing
the service. This city is quite as near the
coal fields and the naphtha supplies as is
New York. Company figures may show for
a time that certain vaguely defined factors
locally operate to increase the cost. hut
the fact that large dividends are paid on
literally watered stock and that this stock
is held In such high esteem as to warrant
its purchase by a syndicate for a price
higher than the prevailing market rate
creates the belief that the business of max
ing and selling gas to the people of this
city at S1.1O is very profitable. The new
owners of the gas company will show them
selves to be men of sagacity and prudence
If they will consent to further reduction
OF the gas rate beyond that prescribed by
the act of 1886. Washington will continue
to note the progress Of the gas war in New
York for future reference.

Is AguinnldO Out of Power.

There is the best of reason for believing
that Aguinaido's power in the Filipino in
surgent organization is waning. The junta
at Hong Kong. which is favorable to hIm,
puts forth a statement ridicuirg the propo-
sition that Aguinaldo is suing for peace and
asserting that the overtures come solely
from Gen. Luna. who has sought of late to
undermine Aguinaldo. Several weeks ago
statements We're published from Manila
sources to the effect that Aguinaldo had
been supeceded as commander in chief OF
the Filipino forces by Luna. The latter
has apparently been most active in the
field operations for some time. The peace
emssaries have come directly from him
and have spoken in his name rather than in
that Of Aguinaldo. Il may be true. as the
Hong Kong junta says, that these nego-
tiations do not really represent Aguinaldo' s
view of the war. But it is vastly import
ant to learn that the once-supreme leader
has fallen from his high estate and that
ne can not command entire obedience on
the part of his generals and soldiers. The
junta declares that Luna has long been at
work trying to secure votes in the insurgent
congress In his favor. IL he has in fact
been given the full command of the forces
an Office which Aguinaldo himself held dur
ing the early stages of the Instruction
he must have secured sufficient support
among the Filiplnos to warrant him In con-
tinuing. IL now he has opened negotia tions
for peace 1t can not be without the backing
of his soldiers. Aguinaldo to the contrary
notwithstanding. Thus far In the case
Aguinaldo has stood before this country as
the snm-total of Filipino opposition TO
American sovereignty. Events have JUST;
