FAULT THE SENATE'S
Prospect of Tariff War Causes Sc
rious Apprehension.
TREATIES ARE PIGEoN-HoLED
ATFew insignificant Interests Are
blocking Their ConHrma-
tion.


Washington, Feb. 27-The prospect of
tarlH war is exciting apprehension in
congress pretty generally, but it will be
the Eault OF congress if it occurs, the fault
Oh lew men who represent special inter
ests OF little or no Importance, like the
walnut growers OF California and the
plncnDeck 1ewelry manufacturers of New
England, who are willing to sacrifice the
great agricultural interests and the grow
lng export trade in manufactures rather
than take the risk of losing a little of
their profits. IL a tariff war comes it will
come because this country has been guilty
OF inexcusable folly in seeking concessions
from foreign governments and then re-
l9cllng them as fast as they are offered.
In the Dingley law congress instructed
the president to negotiate reciprocity with
foreign nations and indicated the policies
to be pursued. Special commissioners
were appointed who have entered into
agreements with twelve or fifteen nations
which are of great Importance to American
agricultural and our machinery indus
tries. All of these treaties lie untouched
IN the room Of the committee on foreign
relations. The senate refuses to ratify
them because of the opposition of the in
Significant interests mentioned. When the
time for the ratification of these treaties
expires retaliation may be expected.
No Action This Session.
The senate committee on foreign rela-
tlons to-day decided to make no further
effort to. secure action upon the recipro-
city treaties before the senate during the
present session. 1t was agreed that il
would ne impo ssible 10 secure action.

DEMOCRATS GIVE IN
They Are Not Likely to Block Cuba
and Philippine Action.
SOME WANT AN EXTRA sEssINo
But the Majority Thinks 1t Bad Poll
tics to Force Congress
to Meet.


Washington, Feb 27.-The democratic
senators are divided on the question OF
policy Some of them are anxious to
prevent all legislation that will help the
president out in Cuba and the Philip
pines, and they are able to do it If they
desire, because the appropriation bills are
piled up at the senate end of the capitol.
Other democrats argue that such re-
sistance is useless and impolite. because
1t will simply result in a special session
for the consideration of the same meas
ure which must be passed sooner or
later, and the blame of the delay will be
to their political disadvantage. They
think ii is wisdom to make few speeches
calling the attention of the country to
the imperial" tendencies of the admin
istration, and to give the republicans
plenty Of rope
Mr. Morgan and several others are anx-
lous to have a special session called. He
wants it for the consideration of the Nic4
araguan canal BILL and the others have
personal reasons But the great major
ity of both houses would like to avoid
the expense and inconvenience of spend
ing two or three months in Washington
during the summer.
The republicans will not be bluffed this
time. They propose to. stick to the Phil
ippine and the Cuban amendments even
at the loss of the appropriation bills, be-
cause they know there must be an extra
session to consider the Cuban and Phil
ippine policy, and it will be no difficulty
to pass the appropriation bills at the
same time.
Mr. Allison, who is the wisest man in
congress; Mr.. Platt of Connecticut, who
is looking after the Cuban resolutions and
Mr.. Spooner. who has the Philippine leg
islation in hand, are all confident that
the democrats will back down in a few
days and let everything go through.

Ashley, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-The investigation
of the Ashley City bank, which has sus-

with not one cent in the bank to pay them.
Edmund Palmer was arrested to-day at

GOT HER COFFEE
And,It PuIied,H Out.

Doctor after doctor said / should not
drink strong coffee. 1t struck me as pe-
culiar that this advice should be so uni
versal.
II have been school teacher, and a
few years ago began to feel l was pretty
well worn out and nervous, found that |
was depending more and more upon my
coffee to carry me through my days work.
Many times, when teaching in a boarding
school, have asked the matron for cup
of coffee Strong, because felt could
not get through the recitation without it.
''Of course, was living on borrowed
strength, and two years ago the physical
crash came. Nervous prostration and
neurasthenia. For weeks l could not even
walk or stand alone. The physician said
1t would be two or three years before |
could recover SO as to be able to do any-
thing. My appetite was gone. l could
not, sleep, and l was in a desperate con-
dition, nervous and otherwise.
1 was wanting coffee very badly, but it
was kept from me. One morning about
three weeks after the breakdown the
nurse brought me cup of coffee, of de-
licious flavor May l have it,? 1 ex-
claimed; Yes, the doctor says it will
not hurt you now. I could not under
stand 1T and did not try but just drank
the coffee, and had it every morning after
that.
MY appetite began TO return with the
first cup, and / had been enjoying it for
a month or more when sister said: Does
your coffee taste as good as it did before
you were sick?' sOh, yes, l said. 1T
never tasted better Is it strong enough
to suit your said, 1T could not be i'm
proved DO you know she said, you are
not drinking Mocha or Java, but Postum
Food Coffee; and so it was, every grain
of it.
Il had often sCoffed at Postum Food
Coffee before j knew Of its value, and its
delicious flavor.
1t has been savior to me. Instead of
waiting two or three years to recover
strength, l am now in good working con-
dition six months after the breakdown.
and feel better than l have in ten years
past. s. w. H, Everett, Wash Full
name given by Postum Cereal Co., Ltd,
Battle Creek Mich.
There is a reason for such rapid re-
covery. Postum Food Coffee contains the
natural phosphate of potash and albumen
from the grains of the field, which ma
ture has sent for the use of humanity in
the body. These materials combine in
the human system and go to make up the
gray matter that fills the nerve cells in
the brain and all through the structure.
We must furnish proper materials if we
would build the poper body.
You can get those materials in a de-
licious form in Postum Food Coffee.
