Disposition of the Financial Bill.
WASHINGTON, March S. -Probably not

bill by the conference. The discussion
on the bill ceased Is minutes before the

Half an Hour Later More Men Would
Have Been in Red Ash Mine.
HINTON, w. Va, March SIT is al
most a certainty that 40 lives were lost
in the explosion at the Red Ash mine.
The cause of the explosion is unknown,
but is supposed to have been caused by
miner entering all unused room in the
mines with an open lamp. There were
az men in the mine at the time of the

Said the President Still Relieves in Free
Trade for Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The Post
says: President Mckinley, in converse
ton with callers at the White House,
reiterated his belief that the people of
Porto Rico were entitled to free trade
with the United States. He made it
clear that his views had undergone no
change since he wrote his message to
congress. At the same time he said he
was unable to subscribe to the theory
that the constitution followed the flag;
that the Porto Ricans must have free
trade as necessary legal right. When
he found that the house deemed it the
part of wisdom, the president explained,
to impose a small tariff upon condition
that the revenues so collected all be re-
turned to the island he had been con-
strained to yield to the Judgment of the
house.

NOT TO MUCH COTTON.

There is an extraordinary variation
between the government bureau esti-
mate of the cotton crop and that Of
Latham, Alexander & Co., which has
just been received. It will be remem-
bered that the government estimate
was 10, 100000 bales. The firm, how.
ever, under date of December 18th,
issued a circular in which it announced
that it had mailed $3.50 letters to
selected and reliable correspondents
banks, bankers, cotton commission
merchants, brokers, proprietors of pub
lie gins, railroad officials and planters,
covering every cotton growing county
in the South, asking information as to
the probable total cotton crop of the
United States. The firm received :, 285
replies of average date of December
6th, and it thinks the information thus
derived to be as reliable as any infor-
nation that can be obtained on the
subject. Its tabuIation shows that
crop of 19Oo-10o1 to be 900, $40 bales,
/. as against 8, 1876, 900 bales for 1899-19OO

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con
tinual flow of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food, to
keep the blood rich. When it
fails, take SCOTS emulsion OF
cod-liver oil. 1t sets the whole
body going again-man woman

Remember to be considerate of the
people who wait on you IN the stores.
It Is easy to be courteous. and kindly
in your demeanor toward those tired
and patient workers If you only stop
to think.
Remember to keep within the
bounds of your means IN giving. Ex-
travagance will serve only to distress
You, and lessen the true esteem of
the recipient.
Remember the significance of the
day we celebrate as Christmas, and
guard your actions accordingly.
Remember that we are upon the
dawn of new century. What can
we do to strengthen our own lives
and upljft those about US ?
Remember to be an optlmist. You
will feel better, and may save some

HANNA's SPEECH.

Senator Hannas speech, as reported
by the Associated Press. does not illum-
mate the ship subsidy bill. He did
not explain why TIDE bill does not pro-
vide for more shi bs; why it is that IN
der it the mails V Jill still be carried by
the fast German knd British ships, that
there is no assure Ince given in the bill
that larger cargoeA will be secured for
American vessels, ! and that uader it
ship OWNERS can hire foreign seamen at
-@Tow wages and still receive a subsidy.
Senator Hanna reviewed the history
of American shipping, but did not ex-
plain the ship bill. The public is fair
ly well acquainted with the history of
American shipping. 1t knows it has
been steadily on the down grade since
before the civil war, but it is not well
acquainted with the lntricacies of the
ship bill, nor have the people of the
countrH yet understood that making
them pay their pro rata of the 50, 900, :
600 tax per year will give them any
thing in return.
