sITuATIoN OF TIE cANAL BILL.

Notwithstanding the vigorous efforts
that are being made to pass the Nicara-
qua canal bin at this session the indica4
tions are that it will go over TO the next
1t is probable that it will be passed by
che House, because the House appears
to be unwilling to wait and see what the
Senate will do with the Hay -Pauncefote
treaty.
When the treaty will come before the
Senate for ratification is not known with
any degree of certainty. Senator Morgan
ii. There seems TO be great deal of
doubt that it will get the necessary two
thirds majority. The friends of The adj
minstration say that the necessary votes
will be secured, but they do not appear
TO be confident.
What threatens to prevent the passage
of the bin al this session is the Porto
Rican tariff bill and the determine ton of
the Republicans to adjourn the session
early. The Porto Rican bill has passed
the House but there will be a long debate
over it in the Senate. BY the time that
body gets through with it the appropria-
ton bills will be claiming attention. If
an early adjournment is decided upon the
chances are that the enemies of the canal
bill Will be able TO push ii over until the
next session.
1t is noticeable in the Washington dis
patches that the sentiment in favor OF
insisting that the United States shall have
the right TO fortify the canal is not so
strong among members of Congress who
have given the matter very careful con-
sideration as it was couple of weeks ago.
The claim is made that the right 10 forti-
fly would not, after all, be of such very
great value. Admiral Dewey is quoted
as being of the opinion that the cost OF
fortifcations would be very far greater
than the value of the benefits that would
arise from them.
1t is conceded that the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty must be gotten out of the way be-
fore the canal bin can be passed. II is
evident that il is going TO take consider
able time TO arrive at a vote on the treaty
When it is out of the way the Senate will
give preference 10 the measures to which
attention. has already been called. II is
pretty safe to say therefore that there
will be no canal legislation at this session

A bit of political gossip from Washing
ton, which is probably worth very little is
TO the effect that Admiral Dewey has about
reached the conclusion that he would like
TO be candidate for the presidency. This
reversal of his opinion is alleged TO have
been brought about by Mrs. Dewey The
story, as it appears in the correspondence
of the New York Mail and Express. is
that Mrs. Dewey believes the Admiral
would be an available candidate TO head
a third ticket, and that those dissatisfied
with the regular tickets of the old parties
would accept his candidacy as solution
of a difficult problem.

A story is told Of a very popular cav
airy officer says Golfers Weekly. He
was being tried for drunkenness, and
among other witnesses was his Irish or
derby. The court, anxious to give the Off
Ger every chance, put several questions to
this witness with view to eliciting any
facts that might be in the masters favor.
When the orderly said that his master.
on going to bed, had expressed wish to
be called early, the members of the court
martial were distinctly pleased
A man who gave special instructions to
be called early could not surely-they ar
gued to themselves-have been drunk.
Hoping to get favorable particulars, the
judge advocate put a further question.
And why did the major wish to be
called early?" they asked
Faith, an he told me It was because he
was to be queen of the May" came the
answer.
That settled IL

The famine in India is one of water as
well as of food. 1t is said that the
drought has so reduced the cotton crop
that there will be no cotton for export.

in favor of high prices for the American
cotton crop of next season; provided the
American planters do not spoil their own

THE SUCCESS OF THE BRITISH.

IT is not surprising that the British are
rejoicing. They have reason for doing
so. They have won three great sue
cesses within the last three or four days
the relied of Kimberley the surrender of
Gen. Cronje and now the relief of Lady
smith.
These successes have cost the British
many lives. IL was the flower of their
army that was pitted against the Beers
in the most desperate encounters
What will follow these victories? VIII
the Beers take steps toward peace or will
they continue the war? If they decide
TO continue ii will the Free State Beers
still stand shoulder to shoulder with those
of the Transvaal.
There is nothing yet TO indicate that
their spirit is humbled or that there is
any faltering in their determination to
carry on the war as long as there are
men 60 carry guns.
1T may be, however, that an effort will
be made before there is much more fight
ing to find out what terms Great Britain
would offer with the view of bringing the
war to a ciose. AS yet the Beers have
not shown any intention to sue for peace
The road TO the Transvaal capital is
rough one, and ii win cost the British
many lives 10 get there against the pro-
test of the Beers. Eventually, II seems,
the Beers wiz have 20 yield 10 superior
force Even If they admit this to be true
il is question whether they could not get
better terms later on than now inst a flor

The town of Wilkesbarre, Pa, has an
ordinance under which tramps are com
PEELED TO labor on the streets. The other
day several of the genus were rounded
up, given breakfast and set TO breaking
rock. After working an hour or two they
went on strike. The spokesman of the
strikers stated TO the marshal in charge
of the gang that the punishment that was
being inflicted upon himself and his fell
lows was unconstitutional, in that ii was
cruel and unusual; first because il bis
tered the hands of the men, and second
because it was not in keeping with the
dignfy of their professions. The spokes-
man said he was a lawyer, another man
was doctor a third a teacher a fourth
a chemist and a fifth civil engineer If
the town authorities would provide them
with employment suited to their educa-
ton and attainments they would be
pleased 10 perform ii in return for their
meals and temporary lodgings; but they
would not degrade themselves by break
ing rock.

The British press censor, in refusing TO
let the correspondents send out a de
tailed report of the surrender Of Gen.
Cronje permitted an impression which
does injustice to Lord Roberts 10 get
abroad. To judge solely by the formal
dispatch of Lord Roberts reporting the
surrender of the Beers. it would appear
that Gen Cronje had been treated with
a marked lack Of courtesy. Il told Gen.
Crouje," said the British commander, 'he
must present himself at my camp and
that his force must come out of their,
laager after laying down their arms BY

pears from later accounts that the gal
liant Boer commander was met at the

sizes customary on such occasions. This
incident will probably lead to the exer-
else of better judgment on the part of the
censor hereafter.

&| = and Blood Disease.


Savannah, Ca Feb. q, 1904 few
months ago l noticed the advertisements
of Prof. A. j. Dexter. At first l paid very
little attention to same, as l classed the
Professor with other advertising frauds
whose ads appear daily in our city papers.
Time after time l read the signed state
meRs of some of our business men the
Professor had cured, and at last l came
to the conclusion that there must be
something in this mans method of curing
disease different from the general run of
the advertising doctors and other physi-
clans who for the past twenty years have
been treating my troubles, as all failed to
cure me or even give me relief When 1
went under the treatment of Prof. A. j.
Dexter l was almost living skeleton,
having lost fOrty-seven pounds. L was
running into quick consumptlon-at least
the doctors said so, and that / would not
live six months. | was suffering from a
most horrible blood disease, having con-
tracted'a bad disease many years ago.
When Prof. Dexter began his treatment
of my case l had the gleet, which has
been with me for many years, also strict
ure and bad case of old chronic catarrh,
and was also a great sufferer from lost
manhood or sentinel weakness. l am now
an old man. but | must say in justice to
Prof Dexter that he has cured me of all
my diseases, and 1 feel like a young man
in perfect health. Surely there is some
thing wonderful in this great mans treat
ment 1 have gained in weight 80 pounds
since 1 went under the Professors care,
and believe that in a few weeks l will
be back to my old weight. My stomach.
which has caused me many sleepless
nights, is now in perfect order, and l can
eat any kind of food. He has also cured
me of the piles, from which | have been
a great sufferer for many years In con-
clusion I wish to say, God bless Prof.
Dexter for what he has done for me and
others. Yours truly.
