Law at Once.

Washington, Jan. 29--When the
senate convened Monday the presid-

to the following cablegram from the
directors of the federal party at Ma
Mia, which was read:
Manila. Jan. 2S.-The President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Washington: Accessions

of archipelago. Attitude of hitherto ir-
reconcilable press and the general public
opinion show that 1abors of party to

success. Until now political parties have
attempted formation on plans more or
less questioning American sovereignty.

ity may be lost of rescuing some poor

In some cases, their recklessness in
thus exposing themselves has been
commented upon as almost suicidal
Their answer to such criticisms in

Divine injunction to do right and fear

means she employs to keep her Sol

81 have found Dodd's Kidney Pills OF
great value in cases of Kidney and
Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted
from severe colds. Several of our LADS
and lassies have been repeatedly ex-
posed to cold weather and rain, and
have spoken for hours out of doors,
often with wet feet and chilled to the
marrow. AS consequence of this ex--
posture, Pulmonary Trouble, Rheu--
matism and Kidney Disorders often
ensue. In such cases, 1 always advise
Dodd's Kidney Pills, for I have noticed
better results, quicker relief, and more
lasting benefit from the use of Dodd's-
Kidney Pills in such cases, than from
all other medicines I know of com
bined. They cleanse the blood, regu--
late the system, and destroy disease"
A medicine which can do what Lieut..
Hunt says so positively Dodd's Kidney
Pills do is surely worth the attention
of all who suffer with any form of Kid
ney Trouble, Rheumatism, or Blood
Disorders.

A recent letter from Rome states
that the pope's income for 1000

Absence of news from Liverpool which market was closed account of Whitsuntide holidays with rumors of a bad scare of shorts in New Orleans, helped to unnerve the bear in- terest and to stimulate buying for further advance.

Claims that large blocks of low grace were coming here from the South. the difference allowing handsome profits in such shipments now that our market is the highest in the world. appeared to be in no way to calm July shorts, who con- tinued to bid feverishly for large blocks.
