HOUSE STILL ON
 WAR REVENUE BILL Effort to Further Reduce Tax on
 Beer Failed CHANCE AS TO SHIPMENTS The Express or Railroad Company Must Pay Tax Instead of the Shipper. Some Sharp Debate Over
 Amendments.
CHANCE AS TO SHIPMENTS

Washington, December 1.-The House to- day adjourned without dsposing of more than half of the war revenue reduction bill. General debate closed at 2 o'clock, after which the bill was opened to amend ments under the five-minute rule. A de- termined effort was made to reduce still further the tax on beer below the com mittee rate of $1 60 per barrel, but the ways and means committee overwhelmed the opposition. The committee, however, sustained two signal defeats. In connec tion with the beer tax MT. Payne offered an amendment in the language of the bill passed by the House last session designed to abolish the use of small beer packages, one-sixteenth and one-eighth barrels, but it was defeated. Another defeat occurred in connection with the amendment offered by MT. Henry c. Smith of Michigan. The bill abolished the 1-cent stamp tax on ex- press receipts and telegraphic messages but retained the tax on railroad and steam ship freights. MT. Smiths amendment re- stored the tax on express receipts and all tered the form of the section so as to com pei the company, instead of the shipper to pay the tax.
  bate in the course of which MT. Smith made personal allusion to a United States Senator who Is connected with one of the express companies. MT. Payne vigorously fought the amendment, but 1t was carried. The text of the amendment is as follows: Express and freight-It shall be the duty of every railroad or steamboat company, carrier, express company or corporation or person whose occupation is to act as such, to make within the first fifteen days of each month sworn statement to the collector of internal revenue, in each of their re- spective districts, stating the number Of shipments received for carriage and trans portation, whether in bulk or in boxes bales, packages, bundles or not so inclosed or included for which any charges what soever have been made, for each of such shipments received for carriage and trans portation, the said railroad or steamboat company, carrier, express company or cor poration or person whose occupation it is to act as such shall pay tax of one cent on bundles or packages of newspapers when inclosed in one general bundle at the time of shipment

THE SENATE.

Washington, December H.-Throughout nearly the entire legislative day the Sen- ate was in secret session discussing the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. No business of im- portance was transacted In the brief open session except the adoption of the House resolution providing for holiday recess to extend from Friday, December 21, to Thursday, January 3. Pending a motion by Mr. Lodge that the Senate proceed to the consideration of executive business brief contention was precpitated over phase of the Montana Senatorial case. MT. Jones of Arkansas announced that he had been directed by the committe on contin- gent expenses to ask that the investigation of the claims of Wiliar A. Clark and Mar tin Maginnis to a seat in the Senate under appointment of the Governor of Montana be referred to the committee privileges and elections, as it had not come from standing committee.
 MT. CT handler, the chairman of that con- mittee, immediately reported 1t back to the Senate and asked for its adoption. This was objected to on technical grounds but the resolution finally was referred to the committee on contingent expenses.
 The Senate, then at 12:50 D. m., went into executive session upon the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty, and at 4:50 p. m. adjourned un- til tomorrow.

BESSEM ER.
Governor Signed the Bill Giving the
 City New Charter.

Bessemer December 14.-(Special. )-The Governor yesterday signed the bill giving Bessemer a new charter. The principal feature of the new charter is the extension of the city limits. Formerly they extended only to Tenth avenue, but, now are bounded by Valley Creek on the west, between Twelfth and Thirty-seeond streets inclu- sive. This takes in furnaces 3, 4, and 5, the pipe works of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company and Kloss' brick yard, with the thickly populated dis tricts surrounding. As a result the city of Bessemer now has a population of 10000 people. The new charter also gives the city more power in the matter of licenses and makes other needed changes.
 The Bessemer Emancipation Society is preparing a big celebration for the first of January, emancipation day. w. H. Hor- ney is the president of the local society. w. H. Council of Huntsville has accepted an invitation to be present and deliver an address and Booker T. Washington has been invited and is also expected to be one of the speakers of the day. Several bands of music have been engaged, and crowd of 10000 negroes are expected.
 At a meeting of the police commission the charges of perjury made against sev- eral police officers were dismissed.

PRATT CITY.
Plan Determined Upon for Holding the
 Municipal Primary.

Pratt City, December H.-(Special.) .)-The executive committee appointed at the last Mayoralty election by the citizens of the city has determined the manner in which the present campaign for the nomina tion of Mayor and Board of Aldermen was to be conducted. The members of this commit tee are: J. B. Aird, at large and chair man; Dr. T. J. Brown, W. Y Powell Joe Lacey and Frank Culverhouse. At the meeting all of the committee were present except MT. Culverhouse, and also a large the candidates desired a Democratic pri- mary pure and simple. while those of an- other desired that the candidates for Mayor be required to name his choice for chief of police, and other city officials, and the at- tendance of the citizens was to some ex- tent based upon urging these views upon the committee.
 The citizens were, however. disappointed, as the chair stated that at the Suggestion of the committee" all who were not mem- bers of the committee would please retire." and the committee then went into executive session behind closed doors. H. rmony seems to have been reached on ihs io,ow- ing plan was determined upon.
 There will i-be primary election held of all the white qualified voters Of Pratt City and also of the sthree ne8 wards-Norts Highlands, Eas. Highlands and Wsst r gh- lands-on th i2th day 4 January, 1901, for. the purrc 9f -Vo.0l-3ting a sns can- didate M and naA s1 Eleven

ANTI-cANTEEN QUESTION.
Secretary Root Urges That the Provis-
 ion Be Stricken Out.

Washington, December H.-Secretary Root was before the Senate committee on military affairs for two hours today, going over the army reorganization bill. Among other things he urged that the anti-canteen provision inserted by the House be stricken out, saying that the canteen, or post ex- change is an important factor in army life from a social point of view. He feared 1t might be difficult to secure recruits with the canteen abolished. The secretary again dwelt upon the importance of speedy action upon the bill.

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE.
A Few Reasons Which are Rapidly Makinu a New Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca- tarrh cure, has the following advantages over other catarrh remedies:
 F1rst-These tablets contain no cocaine. morphine or any other injurious drug and are as safe and beneficial for children as for adults; this is an important point when it is recalled that many catarrh remedies do contain these very objectionable ingre- dents.
 Next-Being in tablet form this remedy does not deteriorate with age, or an ex- posture to the air as liquid preparations invariably do.
 Next-The tablet form not only preserves the medicinal properties, but it Is so far more convenient to carry and to use at any time that it is only a question of time when the tablet will entirely supersede liquid medicines, as 1t has already done ifi the medical department of the United States army.
 Next-No secret is made of the compost tion of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they con- tain the active principle of Eucalyptus bark red gum blood root and Hydrastin, all harmless antiseptics, which, however, are death to catarrhal germs wherever found because they eliminate them from the blood.
 Next-You cannot cure catarrh by local applications to the nose and throat, be- cause these are simply local symptoms and such treatment can not possibly reach tne real seat of catarrhal disease which is the blood; for this reason inhalers, touches, sprays and powders never really cure catarrh, but simply give temporary relief which dose of plain salt and water will do just as well.
 Catarrh must be driven out of the sys- tenn, out of the blood, by an internal rem edy because an internal remedy is the only kind which can be assimilated into the blood
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets do this better than the old form of treatment because they contain every safe specific known to modern science in the antiseptic treatment of the disease.
 Next: The use of inhalers, and spraying apparatuses besides being ineffective and disappointing is expensive, while complete treatment of Stuart -Catarrh Tablets can be had at any drug store in the United States and Canada for 50 cents.

Aldermen, and all the citizens participant ing in said primary are pledged to support the nominee of said primary. MT r. J. Powell was appointed registrar and books of registration will be opened on December Sl, 19O0 and remain open till and including the 9th day of January, 1901, and all voters will be required to register in order to vote in the primary.

There are at present four candidates for Mayor and the next few days will no doubt develop quite a large number of gentle men offering to serve their city in the hon. orary" position of city father.
