winding road to the post, where sor-
rowing, sympathetic army women met
and ministered to them. With them,
too, came such of the wounded as could
be moved, and at the head of the little
squad of horse rode Lieut.. Dean,
whom the post commander and several
officers greeted almos effusivcly.
Yet almost the first question was:

RECONSTRUCT CANAL

TO HOUSE.

WARRANTS MUST BE SIGNED BY
PRESIDENT.

Matter-AdamsOn of Georgia Par
ticularIy Active and viii Endea-
vor to Secure United Support by
Democrats--Thc President Is
Authorized to Acquire the Right
of Way-Secretary of War VIII
Construct the Canal.
Washington, Dec. 13.-The House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, at its first meeting to-day,
voted to favorably report the Hepburn
bill providing for the construction of
the Nicaragua canal. Representative
Fletcher of Minnesota was the only
member voting against reporting the
bill. Before the vote was taken sew
eral amendments were proposed. One,
by Mr.. Adamson of Georgia, was
agreed to, providing that the expendi-
ture of $l0000,000 as provided by the
Dill shall be made on warrants signed
by the President of the United States.
Other amendments fixing a maximum
and minimum depth for the canal were
voted down, the desire being to retain
the original form of the Hepburn bill
as near as possible. Chairan Hep
burn was directed to urge the measure
to consideration and a vote in the
House at the earliest practicable time.
Mr.. Hepburn said after the meeting
that in accordance with the instruc-
tons of the committee he would push
the hill IN a tn, .
an early day He hopes to make the
canal bill one of the first measures to
be taken I'D after the holidays.
The unanimity of the committee to-
day was gratifying to the friends of the
canal measure. The motion to report
the bill was made in the committee
by Democratic member, Mr. Adam
son of Georgia, and the entire Demo-
cratic membership of the committee
for the bill. Mr.. Adamson is also CO.
operating with Chairman Hepburn on
the floor of the House with a view to
securing united action when the meas
urc CON es up.
81 The bill as finally agreed upon au-
thorizes the President to acquire the
necessary territory from Costa RIGA
and Nicaragua for the construction of
the canal and the money to secure such
control is appropriated. 1t is made the
duty of the Secretary of War to ex-
cavate and construct the canal from
point on the shore of the Caribbean
sea, near Greytown, by way of Lake
Nicaragua, to point near Brito. on
the Pacific ocean. Such canal shall be
of sufficient capacity and depth as that
1t may be used by vessels of the largest
tonnage and greatest draft now in use.
and shall be supplied with all neces-
sary locks and other appliances IS meet
the necessities of vessels passing from
Greytown to Brito. and the Secretary
OF War shall also construct such safe
and commodious harbors at the ter
mini of said canal and such provisions
for defense, as may be necessary for
the safety and protection of said canal
and harbors."
The San Juan river and Lake Mica
ragua shall be used in the construc-
ton of the canal. Agreement may be
made with Costa Rica and Nicaragua
upon terms for the use of the canal.
Ten million dollars are Appropriated
toward the project, the total sum not
TO exceed in the aggregate $3.50, 900. 900.

the nomination concluded to withhold
it for few days. 1t is understood that
Senator Hqar has given the opponents
OF Gen. Knox until Saturday to fur

their original statement to prevent his
confirmation. 1t is doubtful whether
the petition of the so-caHed league
would have received any serious con-
sideration By the committee, had it
not contained the name of Mr.. Bride,
whose sole distinction is that he is a
personal friend of William Jennings
Bryan, which doubtless induced Sena-
tor Jones to urge due consideration of
the petition. Otherwise the nomina-
ton would have been confirmed the
first day of the session.

New York. Dec. -Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Holiday trade is in full swing at all
markets, while jobbing distribution
naturally shows a. quieting down
preparatory to stock taking Nearly all
advices touching these latter branches
OF business are encouraging. and the
years results, so far as ascertained,
are on the whole very favorable.
Among the industries iron and steel
are easily first in strength of demand
and prices and the word buoyant about
accurately describes the situation as
regards the feeling in trade general
ly. Probably never before was so much
business booked in advance as there
IS at present in pig iron, rails and
finished products. Southern iron de-
hveries in November were the heav-
lest on record, and higher prices for
this and for bituminous coal are pre-
dicted.
The crest of the recent rise in cereals
for the present was reached on Sat
urday last, for coarse grains and on
MONDAY, Dec. 8, for wheat and provis-
ions. The proportions of the recent
rise induced enormous realizing. which
for a time was offset by heavy new
buying, but ultimately the size of the
grain movement and increases in Wis
ible supplies added to the breaking of
the drought in the Southwest. and the
tightness of money left the bears mas
ters of the field. The steady rise in
wheat and corn prices shown since the
early part of November had resulted
in gain of about 10 cents each in
wheat and corn, from which the fall
this week is only about cents.
Cotton alone of the great agricul-
tural staples has strengthened this

ness brought out by the low govern

GAS AND TROUBLE
Comes From white Bread.

While it is true that we build up the
body from food, 1t is also true that
different kinds of food have different
effects on the body and produce diff
ferent results.
For instance 1t is absolutely impos-
sible to live on white bread alone, for
it contains almost nothing but starch
and an excess of white bread pro-
duces gas and trouble in the intestines
while at the same time, the other
elements required by the body for
building up brain and nerve centers,
as well as muscular tissue, have been
left out of the white bread, and we
see from experience the one trying to
live on white bread alone gradually
fails in mental and nervous power as
well as loss I'm muscle.
Such diet could not be kept up long
without fatal results. A lady In Jack
sonville, Fla. was crippled by an ac-
cident two years ago. Being without
the power of exercise, an old stomach
trouble that was hers for years be-
came worse. and 1t was serious ques-
ton regarding food that she could
digest.
A physician put her on Grape Nuts
Breakfast Food with some remarkable
results. She says now that, not only is
abe able to do a big days work. be-
cause Of the strength of her brain and
nerves, but that she has finally thrown
away her crutches because the muscles
OF her limbs have gradually grown
stronger since she began the use Of
Grape Nuts and now she Is practical
