AFTER EXCITING DEBATE.

Moth odist Conf~rsnce Increases Its Hoard
"44S Of Superintendent.
CHICAGO, May l6.-The general con.
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church has voted to increase by two ito
board of general superintendents, thus
adopting the majority report Of the
committee on episcopacy. This was the
result of a vote taken after one Of tho
most exciting and eloquent debates Of
the quadrennial conference, in which
many of the most prominent members
of the church in both hem:spheres took
part. The proceedings were watched
by . crowd that taxed the capacity 81
the Auditorium to it's utmost.
The majority report, which was con-
sidered as being in the nature Of a COM
promise, was adopted, after two mi.
nority reports, one resolving that no
bishops be elected, and another provid.
ing for the election of four additional
members Of the board Of general super.
'intendents had been voted down. Pre-.
vtous to the voting the committees re-
port favoring the election Of q coloted
bishop was adopted by large majority.
One ballot on the election of the two
general superintendents was taken Just
before the close of the session, but its
result wa not announced. =.

Cuban Shortages Discussed ct . Cabinet
e.. '-" -"'' Meeting. 50 D.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Cuban
postal frauds was practically the only
subject Of discussion at the days cabi.
net meeting. No late news has been
received which throws any additional
light on the situation and it is not ex.
pected that anything conclusive will be
known until the experts now ON their
way to Havana, have concluded their
investigation and made their report.
News Of the suspension Of Postmaster
Thompson was received by Postmaster
General Emery Smith and by him re.
ported to the cabinet. 1t was evident
from General Woods telegram that ir-
Irregularities, at least, had been found in
Postmaster Thompson's accounts.
The war department has temporarily
ceased the prosecution Of the investiga-
ton here, for with the transfer of the
extradition proceedings to the district
attorneys Office in New York, and of
the detailed examination Of the books to
Havana, where it is to be thoroughly
prosecuted by the postoff1ce inspectors,
there is nothing further to be done here
at present.
The suspension Of Postmaster Thomp-
son wasa great surprise to the presi-
dent and to the members Of the cabinet.

WHY 1T SUCCEEDS.
Cecause Its For One Thing Only and
Little: Falls Is Learn
ing This.

Nothing can begood foreverything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing
only;
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney
ill.
Here is Little Falls evidence to
prove it:
Mr.. John Lenore of Fourth street
No., says: 81 never used any medi-
cine which gave me more satisfac-
ton than Doan's Kidney Pills. I
was bothered for a long time with a
persistent pain across my kidneys,
and the u secretions from those
organs were Irregular and unnatural.
III did not rest we'll nights and felt
languid and generally run down.
If caught cold or over exerted my
self it settled in my kidneys and
aggravated the complaint. When
in Wetzel's pharmacy one day I was
advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills,
acting on the advice l commenced
the treatment. I was benefited at
once and after finishing the box the
backache disappeared and there has
been no return of it,"

PARIS, May ia fire occurred at
the exposition during the afternoon.
The flames were discovered in the base
ment of the Chateau d'Eau, which is
intended to be one Of the leading fea-
lures of the exposition. Intense alarm
was created by the blaze, as it
was feared that the adjoining Sale DIES
Fetes might become involved. The
American section of the palace of elec-

Of the first places to suffer.
The efforts of the fremen, however,
succeeded in localizing the outburst and
after an hours hard work the fire was
extinguished with apparently slight
damage to portion Of the woodwork
beneath the Chateau d'Eau and few
tapestries.

Deafness Cannot DO Cnred

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused
BY an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling orimperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
is the result, and unless the inflama-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be forever destroyed;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

THE LAWMAKERS DUTY

WASHINGTON. May l6.-The house
judiciary committee has agreed to and
reported to the house the following Ar.
ticle XVI Of the constitutions: 49,, -
Section 1. All powers conferred by
this article shall extend to the several
states, the territories, the District OF
Columbia and all territory under the
sovereignty and subject to tho jurisdic-
ton of the United States.
Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to
define, regulate, control, prohibit or
dissolve trusts, monopolies or combina-
tons, whether existing in the form Of
. corporation or otherwise. The several
states may continue to exercise such
power in any manner not in conflict
with the laws of the United States.
Sec. 8. Congress shall have power to
enforce the provisions Of this article by
appropriate legislation.
The majority report favoring the con.
stitutional amendment rays in part:
Duty Of the Lawmsking Power.
I'm our Judgment it 10 the plain duty
Of those entrusted with the lawmaking
power to propose and submit to the PEG.
pie Of the states such remedy as will
enable congress to restrain and, If need
be, repress absolutely all illegal and
dangerous combinations which restrain
trade or destroy competition, or which
may unjustly ha1rass or Cypress labor.
1T is to be expected that the broad
and comprehensive proposition embed.
led in this joint resolution will meet
strong opposition and be subjected to
some bitter denunciation. But aggre-
gated capital, il honest in its purposes,
not only vii! not oppose but will ap.
prove and sustain i proposition that il
designed to restrain only where wrong
II being done and that compels snbmis-
don to the government Of q just and an
people. ~ 80
open T1sid 10, Conpetition.
Congress should have power to
maintain an open field for honest COM
petition in all industrial enterprises
throughout the entire Union.
"When corporation or business asso-
citation becomes monopoly or when
any combination or corporations or men
associated under any form or name for
illegal or improper purposes becomes q
menace to the welfare of the people
throughout the Union congress ought
to possess the power to control and re-.
press it. This is the purpose and scope
Of the proposed amendment"
The report argues in extenso against
the proposed remedy Of placing trust
made goods on the free list, which
remedy, it is asserted, would be worse
than the disease in ''strikng down pro-
lection in an experimental effort to de-
stroy a monopoly or repress q com.
bination."
