HAY-PAUNCEFOTE
 TREATY DRAGS ON May Not be Passed on Until End
 of Session THE RETIREMENT OF PAGAN Again the Question of Increasing the Term of the President to Six Years is Brought Forward
 by MT. Sibley.
THE RETIREMENT OF PAGAN

Washington, December 8-(Special) - It will probably be at least a fortnight be- fore the Senate disposes of the Hay Pauncefote treaty, and several Senators express the opinion that the treaty may drag on until the last day of the session It seems entirely improbable now that the treaty will be ratified without amendment. Possibly a narrow majority of the Senate would vote to ratify the treaty, but a two- thirds vote is necessary for the approval of treaties. If the Davis amendment, permit ting the erection of Notifications. be added to the treaty it can probably be ratified by a very narrow margin, but even that is doubtful.
 The Nicaragua canal commission, of which Admiral Walker Is chairman, made no reference to the proposed neutrality of the canal, and this omission has caused some comment. The fact seems to be that the commission is convinced of the desira- bility of neutralizing the canal, but it deemed it more eonsiderate to the Senate not to make any recommendation, expect ing the Senate, if it wished its views on that subject, to summon the members of the commission before it with the view of asking questions on the subject.
 Tax on Beer.
 While several members of the Senate finance committee are opposed to reducing the tax on beer any more than the House bAl does-and at least one of them thinks there should be reduction-it is evident that there is a strong sentiment in the Senate favorable to the removal of the en- tire increase, making the tax $1 a barrel It appears to be the opinion of those who should be best informed that the Senate is more likely than not to take off the entire tax. There will be pretty fight on this question, at all events.
 The action of the President in restoring Brigadier-General Eagan, chief commissa- ry of subsistence, who was suspended from duty on February 9, 1899, because of his criticisms of General Miles, to duty and then retiring him, the only solution of an embarrassing difficulty. General Eagan was deserving of punishment for his unsol- dierly conduct before the investigation board. He had better, perhaps, have been dismissed from the army than suspended on full pay, but in view of General Miles strictures on his department, there was guage toward his superior. His retirement was made on his own application and un- doubtedly intended to avoid the further humiliation which he saw he must suffer under the paragraph in the army bill which permitted his retirement regardless of his wishes.
The age-herald., 1900-12-09

President should serve for seven years He would also make an ex-President a Senator at-large ex-officio, but without the voting power. To do these things a constitutional amendment Is necessary. Of course, noth- ing will be done with the proposition, but it serves to show the anxiety of statesmen to meddle with the constitution.
 There is absolutely no probability that the antitrust bill passed almost unani- mously by the House just before the ad- journment of the late session of Congress, will receive any consideration in the Sen ate at the present session. That body, in its plans for the session, takes no account of the antitrust bill. It is to be permitted to die with Congress, only to be revived again. evidently, when it seems desirable to show, for the benefit of the public, some little anxiety to throttle the rusts This is hypocriteal but unfortunately statesmen usually suffer from that fault. There is un- doubtedly many Republican Senators who would like to do something to end the trust evil, and many of them think the anti trust bill is too drastic. Others think the existing law is sufficient and others do not care about it, while few are glad that the trusts are not to be bothered. No one seems to want to push it, and the Demo- crats themselves have not been at all dis turbed that it is lying a sick bed The truth is that public men are afraid to fool with the great monetary combinations, as has been evidenced this session by the ten der care each party shows for the wishes of the beer trust.

SHE SLEPT WELL ANNA EVA FAY FINDS SWEET
 REPOSE IN METROPOLITAN HOTEL She Sought the Cause.-The Result Was An Order for Ideal Down" Mat tress-Sent to Her Boston
 Residence.
N METROPOLITAN HOTEL

Miss Anna Eva Fay the mind reader who is entertaining large audiences at the Auditorium this week, and who, of neces- sfty, because of the strain upon her ner- vous organism, does not find sleep always beckoning her, slept at the Metropolitan Ho- tel Monday night on an Ideal Down" mat tress manufactured by the Birmingham Mattress Company of this city. The Met ropolitan was supplied with these mat tresses through J. M. Herzfeld, the we'll known furniture man, and MT. Herzfeld' s name, therefore, appeared on the tag of the mattress Miss Fay slept so well Monday night that she examined the mattress to ascertain its manufacture and the result was the following letter:
 Birmingham, Ala, December 3, 1900 J. M. Herzfeld, City:

BLEEDING PILES.
And All Other Forms of this Common and Annoying Disease, Cureu By
 the Pyramid Pile lure.

Thousands of men and women suffer from some form of piles without either knowing the exact nature of the trouble or knowing it, carelessly allow it to run with out using the simple means of a radical cure.
 The failure of salyes and ointment to cure piles had led many sufferers to believe the only permanent cure to be a surgical opera tion; but surgical operations are dangerous to life, and moreover, very expensive, and by no means always, or even often, suc- cessful.
 The safest and surest way to cure any case of piles, whether itching, pfotrudng or bleeding. is to use the Pyramid Pile Cure, composed of healing vegetable oils and ab- solutely free from mineral poisons and opiates.
 MT. Wm Handschu of Pittsburg, Pa af- ter suffering severely from bleeding piles, writes as follows:
 T take pleasure writing these few lines to let you know that I did not sleep for three months, except for short time each night, because of a bad case of bleeding piles. I was down in bed and doctors did me no good.
 "A good brother told me of the Pyramid Pile Cure, and ] bought from my druggist three 50-cent bot.es. They completely cured me and I will soon be able to go to my work again."
 The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only the safest and surest pile remedy, but 1t is by far the widest known and most popular, because so many thousands have tried 1t ad found it exactly as represented.
 Every physician and druggist in the coun- try knows the Pyramid Pile Cure and what it will do.
 Send to Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, for little book on Cause and Cure of Piles, mailed free to any address. Or better yet get 5O-cent 5ox of the remedy itself at the nearest drup stora and fry if topioht
