BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat Of an almost end.
less variety Of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action Of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
Of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class Of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pimples.

founder of the greatest bell of China
had been threatened by the emperor
because of his unsuccessful attempts
to make n bell having perfect purity
of tone. The bell founders beautiful

to the reason for failure. Being told
that should the blood of n fair maiden
mingle with the bell metal the result
would be secured. she, waiting beside
her father until able TO see her face in
the molten ore, plunged In and was de-
stroyed- To the sacrifice of this maiden

MORGAN OPPOSES AMENDMENT.
Thinks the Treaty Is About Right as 1t
Was Negotiated.

was Negotiated.
In his minority report Morgan an
nounces his concurrence in the main
report. Referring to the history of
the Clayton -BuIwer treaty Morgan
says that the extreme contention of
the government of the United States
has been that the ayon-Bulwer
treaty is violable at our option. Not
having exercised that Option.the treaty
Is confesSedly conclusive as to the
parts of the agreement that have been
executed. and is operative as to the
parts that remain uneXecuted.'
The senator then takes up specific
ally the proposed amendment, saying
But the committee insists that under
articles and 10 or the treaty of Con-
StantinOple provision is made in IA
vOr of Turkey that is not secured to
the United States in the convention.
If we had a possession that
correspOnded in its geography with
the Red Sea on the western coast of
Arabia the force of the proposed
amendment would be more apparent
But we have no such possession in or
near Nicaragua, and have no need to
reserve a special right TO defend 1t or
any ciher possession. Turkey made
no reservation of Il right to defend
Constantinople when she reserved the

The only legal effect of the amend
ment-if it can have any effect upon
our national rights or powers-iS TO
annul the naturalization of the canal
provided for in article of the treaty
under consideration. If this is its pur-
pose it would be more satisfactory TO
strike out that article and declare the
L. n
the Clayton Bulwer treaty"
The minority report deals at length
with the contention that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty is vOidable by the Init
ed States because il has been violated
by Great Britain and the committee is
unanimous in negativing this propO-
sition- This part of the report says:
The only objections that have been
urged by the United States have not
related TO the treaty as binding COM
pact. but to the conduct of Great
Britain in executing its terms and in
refusing 10 abandon certain islands
and coast possessions which she
claimed We're not held after the date
of the treaty in violation of its terms.
But we have a more cOmpul-
sorry reason, one that involves our due
respect for the history of our own
country. for ceasing to bring into fur

Session-Depew's Point.
Washington. March 10.-JuSt as Ma
son was about TO begin a speech on
his resolution against England for
fighting the Beers the senate went into
secret session and Republican senators
showed plainly that they did not want
a discussion of the question in open
session, because il would perhaps re-
suit in disturbing existing relations
with Great Britain through something
that might be said. Mason urged that
whatever was said would get out any
how: that it had been our custom to
sympathize with republics, etc. He also
said there was nothing against Great
Britain in the resolutions. No cOnclu-
sion was reached.
During the talk Depew said he had
recently been waited upon by n COM
mittee of Finlanders who wanted the
United States to take action upon out
RACES perpetrated upon them by the
cZar. He asked why it was that when
the junior senator from Illinois was
bubbling over with sympathy some of
it had not swashed over on the Fin
landerS.
Mason responded that he still had n
number of other resolutions on tap
which he would introduce.
