THE OUTLOOK FOR
THE CANAL BILL
Chairman Burton Believes 1t
Should Not Pass.
He Dislikes the Changes in the
River and HarbOr Measure.
The Speaker Supposed to BE Adm g
Those Who Want To Defeat
the Project.

The Nicaragua CanaI plan is hanging in
the balance. Yesterday noon 1t seemed
doomed to failure; yesterday evening its
fate was again doubtful. Its opponents
had resorted to very fine piece of work
in order to defeat II, and for time ii
seemed that they would be successful.
Later in the day this grew very question
able.
Nearly every Representative in Congress
II interested in the River and Harbor bill,
and great may of them are interested in
the public building bills. With the near
approach OF the end of the session il
seemed more and more probable that both
the River and Harbor bill and the public
building bills might fail.
In this emergency plan was arranged
between the opponents Of the canal on the
one hand and its lukewarm supporters on
the other. The situation was put to the
latter in about this way: agree TO stand
out against the Senate canal amendment
and you shall have a day-and more, If
need be-for the consideration of your pub
lie building bills. Then, IL the Senate
yield and abandon the canal you will gel
your river and harbor pork also. On the
other hand If you refuse to do this you
will certainly not get your public buildings
while We will do our best TO kill the River
and Harbor bill altogether. II you agree
you may get both and will certainly get on'
and will be remembered when committe,
places are distributed next year-and j.

PUBLIC BUILDING DAY.
Fifty-Tvo Bills Pass the House In
Quick Time

Thirty-nine public building bills for
postoffices of the first class, custom
houses, and Federal courts were yesterday
passed by the House with little delay or
obstruction. They were as follows: Eliza
beth City, y. c.; Oakland, Cal; Elmira,
N. Y; Hot Springs. Ark; Fitchburg,

After these were disposed of filibuster-

minor bills remaining on the list. The
tactics that had proved so unsuccessful
last week were again resorted to, the worst
bills being put at the head of the list so
that they could not be antagonized with

| The bill authorizing a building at CO.
lumbus, Ga, was passed with compara-
lively little objection. but New Iberia La,
I the next on the list, provoked a sustained
! flibuster by Mr.. Payne of New York, who
/ said that the place was a one-horse village
without even a railway. However the hill
was passed al last and Bluefelds, W. Va,
/ was taken up.
This, il was said was even more scan

opposed. Mr.. Loud of California inter

Postoffice bill which occupied over an hour
When the bill was taken up again Mr.
Barrett of Massachusetts spoke against the
bill. Mr.. Handy of Delaware interposed
with statement as TO the population oi
Bluefields, which brought Mr.. Dorr of West
Virginia TO his feet with a shrill declaTa-
tion that Mr. Handy did not speak the
truth; that Bluehelds had larger popula-
tion than the entire State of Delaware.
When the Speaker had hushed the re-
sultant uproar Mr.. Handy remarked that
it was evident from Mr.. DORIS last remari
that he was not judge Of truth.
Finally the bill was passed. The bill foi
Annapolis, Md, was passed without objec-
ton as were those for GAINESVILLE, Wis.

When the Carrollton, KY, bill was under
discussion Mr.. Barrett asked for the read

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not BE Alarmed, But Look For
the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the
while this may be largely due to the ex-
citement and worry Of American business
life, IL is more often the result of weak
stomaehs, OF poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; 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 Pneumogastric.
In another way. also. the heart is af
fected by the form of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food. There is feeling of OPP
preston and heayiness in the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action: hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making IL thin and watery. which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is 10 improve the digestion and TO
insure the prompt assimilation OF food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals OF some safe. pleasant, and ef-
fective digestive preparation, like Stuarts S
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found
at most drug stores and which contain
valuable. harmless digestive elements IN
pleasant, convenient form.
II ik safe TO say that the regular persis-
tent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets al
meal time will cure any form Of stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach.
Full sized packages of these tablets sold
by druggists at SO cents. Little book OF
stomach troubles mailed free. Address F.

Opposition to the compromise Army bill

Military Affairs and the bill will probably

pressure brought to bear on the House for
the passage of the bill has quieted the op-
position and the bill will go through as IL
came from the Senate. including the Cor
man amendment limiting the increase in
the regular army TO two years from July l..
