AUDIENCE IMPRESSED.
The General again declared emphat-
icnlly that the burdcreau could not
have been written by an artillery DILL
Ger or by one who had passed through
the polytechnic school. This made a
profound impression on the court
which was intensified when General
Sebert, who is venerable looking
gentleman, concluded, fearlessly:

The Senatorial Fight.

At this writing there is no change
in the Senatorial situation, and none
is likely to occur for some time, not
withstanding the many rumors set
afioat to the contrary by the ever
resourceful political correspondent.
The lines are tightly drawn and there
is no expectation of any radical
changes on either side The Demo
Gratis present a solid front, and like
the famous plaster, the more they
are pulled the faster they stick
In the event, therefore, of no cleo
tion at the present session the public
will be interested to learn what steps
may be taken thereafter. The pro-
vision of the organic law upon this
subject is peculiar Article 2, section
4, of the Constitution says "In case
of a vacancy in the Office of United
States Senator from this Common
the Governor shall convene the two
Houses by proclamation on notice
not exceeding sixty days to fill the
same
i t will be observed that the words
sin a recess between sessions occur
and there can be no doubt what that
means, and in such event an extra
session Of the Legislature within
sixty days of the occurrence of the
vacancy would have to be called. But
Mr. Quay's term will expire on the 4th
OF March next, while the present
Legislature is in session, and if this
body does not perform its Constitu-
tional duty and elect a Senator, the
question is, will the Governor be re-
quired to call an extra session Of the
same legislators, or must the matter
20 over until new Legislature is
chosen?
1t would seem to be useless to go
through the motions a second time
after prolonged contest, and even
if the session should be called, the
lines would probably remain the
same. Therefore, il will be seen that
this question may come before the
people directly in the election Of leg
islators, an entire House and one half
the Senate next year.
Ii is to be hoped, however, that
there will be no such failure to elect
by the present Legislature.

Washington. Feb. 3.-Ambassador
Hitchcock, from ST. Petersburg, has
reported to the state department on the
famine conditions prevailing in certain
parts Of Russia. The report is taken
from the statement Of the Red Cross
society in the official gazette. Ambas-
sador Hitchcock says that before trans
hitting the report I'm question he call
ed upon the minister of foreign affairs
to ascertain whether the report as set
forth was accurate and whether or not
the imperial government would care
to have the matter brought to the at
tention of the public in America, with
the view of enlsting the sympathies
and action Of our people who respond
ed so generously to a call made upon
them under similar conditions several
years ago. Count Mouravief stated
that the report might be considered
official
Destiutlon following a failure Of
crops exists in seven eastern and two
central provinces of Russia and the
relief work is being carried on by the
Russian imperial government through
the agency Of the Russian Red Cross,
because 1t was felt that direct govern
ment aid might foster feeling among
the peasant class that they had right
to demand rather than to request as
sistance, even when their suffering was
the direct result of their own laziness
as well as the failure of their crops
The Red Cross thus far has appro-
priated about 1852 600 to the relief work.

no WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Gcrul0Iilyis a matter Of Importance
IN every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that It
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicutes
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of womau's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statemcnt we print from Miss GER
rRUpE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
DEAR Mrs. PNKHAM:-I feel like
new person since following your adj
vice and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full lnenstruation and leucorrhea. l
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
l never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. Inow wish to say that never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrh9a. L hope these few
words may help suffering women
The present Mrs. Pinkham's eXperi-
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely TO Mrs. Pinltham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

five chambers of his revolver, shooting
Bennett through the abdomen. Stretch

him instantly. Bennett died last night

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL PASSED.
1t Goes Through the House by a Nearly
Unanimous Vote.

a.
Unanimous Vote.
Washington, Feb. 3-The river and
harbor bill, carrying slightly more
than $50 100000. passed the house yes
terday by a vote of 100 to Z. This is
the largest majority any river and har-
Dor bill has ever obtained in the house.
The bill attracted little opposition, and
every effort to amend it in important
particulars failed. The only important
amendment adopted yesterday beyond
provisions for surveys was the one
striking out the provisional appropria-
tion for Brunswick. Ca, harbor and
inserting provision for a survey and
an appropriation of $40 900 for the in
ner harbor. This amendment was pro-
posed by the river and harbor commit
tee. Saturday Feb. IL, was set apart
for paying tribute to the memory Of
the late Mr. Dingley, of Maine.
A notable speech was made in the
senate yesterday by Mr.. Spooner,. Of
Wisconsin. He took for his text the
anti-expansion resolution offered bv
Mr.. Vest, but did not confine himself
closely to that proposed declaration OF
policy. He discussed the question of
expansion in all its phases and urged
the ratification of the peace treaty as
the best means of bringing the burning
question home to the people themselves,
who, he said, could well be trusted on
their sober second thought to do that
which would be fair, just and generous
towards the inhabitants of the Philip
pine archipelago. Al the conclusion Of
his speech Mr.. Spooner received the
warm congratulations of many Of his
colleagues, notably among whom was
Mr., TiIlman, of South Carolina with
whom he had had a sharp personal
tilt in the course Of his argument.

the foot Of Pacific street, Breeklyn, at

tugs assisted her to swing around in
the stream, while all the ferryboats and
harbor craft in sight set up footing.
It had been expected that the trans
port would get started on her long
Journey to Manila yesterday, but the
delay in getting aboard all the equip

arrived from the west during the night,
and other additional stores made 1t
necessary to defer her departure TIL

her pier. therefore, she went TO anchor

at 10 o'clock this morning, passing out

Benefourche. S. D., Feb. 3.-Discour-
aging reports are coming in from the
cattle ranges because of lack of water
for stock. At no time has there been
more than three inches Of snow on the
ground and all the water holds which
have rarely been dry, are now empty.
In several localities cattle are actually
suffering for water. On the Slime Butte
range wolves have become very bold
and numerous bodies of cattle which
they have killed lie about promiscuous-
ly. These conditions, taken in con-
nection with the present severe wealth

the ranChers.
