THE BOERS ARE
 GROWING BOLD Will Attempt to Invest Roberts
 at BIoemfontein. MAY RECAPTURE THE CITY They Will Try to Garry Out Their Boast-Harassing British Lines of Communications Situa-
 ton is Mystifying
MAY RECAPTURE THE CITY

London, April 5.-5 a. mt looks today as though the Boers had conceived the audacious plan of attempting to invest Lord Roberts at Bloemfontein, or at least to endeavor to delay his northward ad- vance by harrassing the British lines of communication.
 On his side Lord Roberts is concentrating his forces and preparing to take every ad- vantage of the bod t5ut risky tactics Of t'nc enemy. He Is not likely to strike at any of their forces until he is certain of delivering 9 crushing blow.
 The situation, in the absence of any off clal dispatch from Lord Roberts, is both mystlfying and interesting. There is little doubt that Lord Roberts is inampered by the necessity for remounts and transport, and the loss of the convoy guns and all of Colonel Broadwood's baggage was seri- ous matter. The Boers are now trusting to what they believe to be their superior nobility.
 The spcial correspondents at the front are now denouncing Lord Roberts policy of leniency toward the Free Staters and are calling flor an abandonment of that policy.
 A special dispatch announces that Mafe- king was still besieged but safe on March 27th.

THE SENATE

Washington, April 4.-Peace was restored in the senate today before the body con vened and during the proceedings of the session there was only a reminder of the harsh language used just before adjourn ment yesterday. The session opened with a lively and interesting discussion of the status of the Quay case, in the course of which MT. Wolcott apologized for the lan- guage he had used yesterday, dsclaiming any intention of being offensive to any body least of all his friend, MT. Lodge. The Colorado senator made vehement and eloquent appeal for early action upon the Quay case. He was supported by otn- CT friends of MT Quay and it was decided finally to take the case up tomorrow un- der the unanimous consent of agreement made on March 16
 In accordance with that agreement the Spooner bill was made the unfinished busi- ness, thereby bringing the Philippine ques- ton to direct issue in the senate.

MADAME FULLY
The World-Renowned Dermatologist at
 the Morris

The Morris hotel has as it's guest Madame Fully, who, during the past year, has visit ed every city of importance in the United States, and whose triumphs in dermatologN entities her to the first place in her pro- fession.
 She has engaged parlors II and 15 at the Morris for limited stay and will be. pleas ed to meet the ladies of Birmingham.
 In conversation with a reporter of the Age-Herald Madame Fully went onsto tell of the triumphs of her art She spoke of the ladies who cod-creaIn and nassage their faces in vain on wrinkles and faeial blemishes when one visit to her would ac- complish more than months of such labor. She also exhibited an electric roller, a de- vice to be used by those at a distance who could not see her personally. It will posi- lively remove wrinkles andfacial blemishes but she was very particular to state it should never be used dry or without an as- stringent, one of her many preparations. The madame also has process which will increase or diminish weight. She also guarantees to lengthen a waist and make it two inches smaller naturally in two weeks. This sounds marvellous, but Madame Tully is prepared to prove it by actual test.

MT. Wheeler then reviewed the hissory of tine whole controversy step by step. The question was now before the court of last resort, he said.
 How they will decide, cannot say" said he 'sbut if they decide that tMr. Taylor is governor of Kentucky, no citizen of the state will support him more Loyalty than myself. We stand ready to abide by the decision of that tribunal, whether it be adverse or whether it be favorable.
 Republican Party Not Guilty
 ST do not believe, MT. Chairman that the republican party of Kentucky is responsi- ble for the assassination of William Goe- bel. I would be willing to leave the state if I thought so. Some of the best friends 1 have on earth are republicans, and am rot so gangrened with political prejudice that l am bound to see something bad in a man that does not agree with me on any question: (Applause) Some of Ken tucky's most chiyalrous ard d-stlng gulsheu sons have been republicans; and they would put behind them with scorn, as would any knightly democrat in the state, the insinuation that they had stained thelr hands in the blood of this magnificent prod uct of civilization l do not charge it on the republican party. l say there are some republicans who are responsible, and this same law that we have obeyed, and intend to obey in future like the poisonous shirt of Nessus, will stick to them until 1t con- sumes their very bones, and We prosecute them to their conviction"
 In conclusion MT. Wheeler assured the members who had crowded about him dur ing the excitement and the packed galler- ies that there would be no bloodshed in Kentucky.
 But" he said, "the Goebel law is there to stay. It will remain as a permanent and enduring monument to the knightly son of Kentucky who was stricken down by a concealed and c0wardly assassin
 The democrats gave MT. Wheeler round of applause when he concluded.
 MT. Lacey of Iowa replied to Mr. Wheel er denouncng the Goebel law as "a sub version of the constitution and necessarily productive of the anarchy that reigned Ill Kentucky. He especially complained be- cause it did not provide for election com missfoners of opposite parties and said 1t put a 'premium on crime" and was an in vitation to blo0dshed.
 The debate drifted back to the bill under consideration.
 At 4:55 the house adjourned.

 Either Political Party. HIS WIFE IS RESPONSIBLE Underwood Wires All Democrats to Come to Washington Immediately
 to Assistin Defeating Porto
 Rico Tariff Bill
HIS WIFE IS RESPONSIBLE

| Washington, April 4-(Special) )-Dewey' s presidential candldaey causes much com ment It is the general opinion that the admiral has no chance for nomination by either party. Bryan and Mckinley nomin- ations are certain. As an independent can didate Dewey would be a very bad third. His cadidacy Is. regarded as a serious mis- take, due to his wife's ambitions. His ac- tion comes too late and disappoints his friends and admirers.
 Chairman Hepburn of the house interstate commerce committee proposes to try to get a rule for the consideration of the Nicarag- uan bill as soon as the Porto Rican and Hawaiian bills are disposed of. Senator Morgan now awaits Hepburn's action. If the house takes up the bill, Morgan Is ex- pected then to press it in the senate.
 Alabama democratic representatives, as we'll as house democrats, generally most severely crltcise Stalling's absence, partic- ularly the fact that he draws his salary, though here only one day during ithe ses- sion. They hope, but do not expect, his re- turn to vote on the Porto Rican bill.
 Representative Underwood the democrat ic whip, wires all democratic absentees urg ing their immediate return He says the democrats propose making the fight of their Wives against the Porto Rican bill; that no excuse whatever avails the present crit ical situation He insists that democrats should remain in Washington till the fight is ended, and because it is of the utmost importance to the party. It is the general opinion of democrats here that absence is now equivalent to party treachery.
 J. Winston Smith and Major Anderson of Birmingham are here.

There is but single medicine which is radical specific for catarrh. It is Peruna, which has stood half century test. It has cured thousands of cases of catarrh. Ninety times in 8 hundred, those who have been cured of catarrh by Peruna thought they had some other disease."
 The remedy to cure caterrh must be able to reach the mucous membranes, and this is exactly what Peruna does. Peruna operates at the fountain head. Peruna produces normal, clean and wig orous mucous membranes. Catarrh can not remain in the system if Peruna is used according to directions.
