A Sluggish and FiIth-Laden Stream the
 Cause of Salt Rheum.

Scrofula. Erysipelas and other terrible blood diseases.
 It is blood that feeds the different organs of the body-keeps them going at their nor nal pace. If for any reason the blood can- not carry this nutriment, the entire system suffers-debility follows, and eventually a complete breakdown occurs.
 Rich, red, lively blood is needed. The only true way to nourish, purify and enli- ven the blood is to use

 The senate bill to create a commission of five to investigate and report upon the commercial and industrial conditions in China and Japan was debated at length, but was vigorously antagonized by the democrats, and they finally succeeded In striking out the enacting clause in com mittee, and this motion was pending when the house adjourned. If the motion prevails in the house the bill is dead.
 The bill for constitutional amendment to disqualify polygamsts for election as senators and representatives, and to prohibit polygamy, was referred to the committee on Judiciary, after meeting with opposition from both sides of the house.
 Every speaker who antagonized the bill said he opposed poygamy, but did not see any reason for legislating on the constitu- tion, and invading the rights of the states. The house agreed to the conference report on the joint resolution extending the tenure of military officers in Porto Rico.

CLAIM AGAINST TURKEY
MT. Griscom Has Not Sent the Porte's
 Reply

Washington, April S0.-It is said at the state department that MT. Griscom the United States charge d'affaires at Constan- tinople, has not yet acquainted the depart ment with the nature of the reply made by the porte to his last presentation touching the American indemnity claims, and it is presumed that he himself has not received the answer.
 There is some reason to believe that a powerful effort is being put forth by the Turkish government to compromise the missionary claims unofficially. Various methods to achieve this have been suggest ed, but the one which is looked upon as the most feasible is that connected with the building of a warship for Turkey in the United States.
 If the claimants chose to receive the amount of their claims from an American shipbuilder instead of through the state de- partment, thereby removing from the de- partment the basis for further prosecution of it's demands upon the porte, some inter- esting points of international law might be raised It would seem that an international claim cannot be withdrawn without the consent of the department, though whether there would be refusal in this case can not be stated.

LACE MAKING PLANT
John Dowie, the Well Known Faith
 Healer, in New Business

Washington, April 30-John Alexander Dowie, the well known faith healer of Chi cago and the general overseer of the Christian Catholic church. was at the treasury department today, and had con- ference with Secretary Gage. He stated that he had recently purchased at Noting ham, England, five machines for making Nottingham lace, as well as other neces- sary machinery, which he would set up near Waukegan, Wis. He also had en- gagged under contract twenty experts in lace-making, and his purpose in seeing the treasury officials was to learn whether there would be any legal objection to their coming into the country He was in- formed by the secretary that the contract labor laws of the United States made spe- ei1c exception in the cases of workmen to be employed in an industry new to this country, and as lace-making undoubtedly was new industry here, there could be no objection to his bringing over the men he had engaged.
 pr. Dowie stated that he had 20, 900 acres of land near Waukegan, where his lace plant would be established for the bene- Tt of the members of his church com munlty, and he expected to make the en- terprise very profitable.
