IN THE SENATE.

Washington, Dec 1S.-What the
Senate may accomplish in the way of
legislation for the Philippines, during
the present session, is prOblematical,
but that the question will he thorough
~ discussed is indicated by the num-
Der of resolutions bearing upon it being
introduced, In opposition to the re-
tention by the United States of the
Philippine islands, two resolutions were
introduced. today. one by Mr. Tllman,
s. c.. and the other by Mr.. Bacon. Ga
While they differ in phraseology. their
intent practically is the same-to yield
the islands To a government to be es-
tablished by the Filipinos themselves
Both senators gave notice of their in
tention to address the Senate on their
respective resolutions. Mr. Morgan
Ala, addressed the Senate briefly up
on the necessity of legislation to con-
troll trusts, his argument being direct
ed particularly to the committee on ju-
dietary. to which his joint resolution,
upon which he based his remarks was
referred.
The Senate at 200 p NJ went into ex-
ecutive session. At 2.5S 2. NJ the Senate
resumed business in open session and con

committee to attend the reception and un-
yelling of the statue of Daniel Webster in

was so amended as to provide for a COM
mittee OF eight three senator's and five

sense is it a cure-all." There are
certain principles that underlie, alike,
all diseases and ailments. With
these principles foremost in the
mind the botanical chemist in the
employ Of The Toniko-Tea Co.,
evolved the formula for this wonder
full herb combination.
Toniko-Tea in theory promised
results not claimed by any other
remedy and in actual practice it has
demonstrated that it is Of greater
value than it looked on paper.

honest and sincere testimonials of
the cures it has affected. This book

Statements are current that Presi-
dent Hills interests have greatly in
creased their holdings in Northern Pa
cific. 1t is hardly to be expected that
an official statement could be had re-
garding this. but an authority high in
such matters says that not merely is
this not the case, but that the loid-
ings of the Hill interests in MOI tnern
Pacific are to-day as small as at any
time since the reorganization of the
company. 1t can be stated authorita-
lively that some very large blocks of
common stock were sold by these inter-
ests a good many months ago, and they
have not been replaced.
The authority also states that there
is no truth whatever in the statement
that there has been a. change in the
relations between the various inter-
ests in the northwest They remain
exactly as they were last winter. There
is a strong speculative combination
working in the Northern Pacific stocks.
which combination is entirely in har-
mony with the principal interest in the
road. The foreign buying is generally
put down to these interests, and there
is a good deal of talk to the effect that
this fall will probably bring more div
idend to the common stockholders. Re
cent changes in the board amount to
nothing more than the maintenance of
the status quo, and have no bearing
on the differences between the North
ern Pacific and other roads.

President Mellen in an interview at

gagged in booming townsites, and has
no interest in any city over and above
the patronage derived from its traf-
fic."
In speaking of the relations between
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern, Mr.. Mellen is quoted as saying:
Il wish to say that ! have been Woe
fully misrepresented in the attitude of
my own road toward our competitor,
the Great Northern. The Northern
Pacific's relations with its rival are
as cordial as it is possible for them
to be under the circumstances. / very

which were manufactured out of whole
cloth, and which convey the impress
sion to him that the Northern Pacific
is engaged in any undertaking aside
from legitimate competition which
would result in any unfair advantage
to our road. Tacoma papers could not
forego the opportunity to misrepre-
sent relations between us, and / feel
that they could have employed their
time more profitably."
General Manager F. e. Kendrick of
the Northern Pacific. when asked as
to the roads condition and the pros
poets of farmers and grain growers
in the territory tributary to the COM
pany's lines, said:
1.-THE Northern Pacific was never in
better condition than it is to-day. Its
new management has expended large
sums of money in putting the road in
first class condition, which is fully war
ranted by the growing business of the
territory through which it runs. The
grain crop of the West will this year
be about one-fourth less than last
years yield, but as the yield of 1898
was fully % per cent. larger than nor
NAL, you can see that there Is no
shortage in production"
