THE PRESIDENT MUST DECIDE.
Situation Regarding the Bacon Res
oIution Becomes Embarrassing.

Senators Hale and Spooner were in con-
sultation for some time yesterday with
the President, and it is asserted that the
conference was in regard to the matter
Of the Bacon resolution calling upon a.he
Secretary of War for The report of Au-
ditor Lawshe upon the Cuban postal
frauds. Secretary Root, as stated in The
Times OF Tuesday, has refused TO comply
with the terms of the resolution, and has
shifted the responsibility to the Presi-
dent.
Whatever is contained in the report it
is certain that the Administration is IN
willing to have its contents made public
Excuse for this is made upon the pretext
that the publication Of the report at this
time would put Nicely, Rathbone, and the
others implicated in the frauds In full pos
session Of the evidence against them COL
lected by the Government. This is re-
garded as a fiimsy excuse and has led to
caustic comment upon the probability of
further startling exposures concerning the
administration of the Cuban postal serv-
ice. This condition OF affairs is said TO
have been made plain to Senators Hale
and Spooner. and an effort is being made
to find some way out of the difficulty
without fatty refusing 10 comply with the
request of the Senate as embodied in the
Bacon resolution.
Should the Senate insist upon knowing
the facts contained in the report, II would
but add to the embarrassment of the Ad-
ministration, as Secretary Root has wash
ed his hands OF the matter by placing the
report in the hands of the President

BELIEVED TO BE INSANE.
The Sanity of Seven Men Questioned
in Legal Petitions.

Petitions were filed in the Supreme
Court of the District OF Columbia yester-
day afternoon by A. Leftwich Sinclair,
Assistant Attorney for the District. in

usual form. containing allegations that
the parties mentioned are lunatics OF
homicidal and otherwise dangerous tend
encies and unfit to be at large in the
community. 1t is the purpose of the au-
thorities to have the alleged lunatics com
mitted to St Elizabeth's Asylum for treat
ment, at the expense of the District gov
eminent. it being alleged that they are
INDECENT, without property or estate.
Upon presentation of the petitions to
Justice Cole the court appointed two ply
sicians in each case as required by law.
to examine the alleged lunatics, and
signed orders directing the physicians TO
make their examinations and appear in
court tomorrow afternoon and testify as
to the result of their enquiries.
George Weber is a soldier, about torty-
five years of age. He is the man who
was arrested AT the White House by Ser
geant GOss and Policeman Bramlett about
ten days ago because of his strange con-
duct. Weber called at the White House

claim which he imagines he has against

to Sc, 600, 600 The policemen who arrested
him were satisfied from their conversation

Burch were called in and after examining
him reached the conclusion that he was
insane and re commended that he be place d
in the insane asylum. He was committed
to St. Elizabeth's on a temporary permit

Joachim j. H. Schultze has been called in
question during the last six months. Pro-
ceedings were instituted against him last
summer at the instigation Of his relatives,
but when the case was called for hearing
before Justice Cole the relatives requested
that the proceedings be dismissed and that
they be allowed to take charge Of
Schultze Justice Cole dismissed the pc
tition as requested, and turned Schultze
over TO his relatives. who have been car

Schultze's condition has grown worse and

A NEGRO BEGGAR ARRESTED.
The Police Believe He Gets Money
by Fraud.

James Dodson, a negro. who gave the
name Of Robert Robinson, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Policeman Reh
Of the Sixth precinct station, because It is
said he tried 10 beg various sums of
money by exhibiting a fraudulent death
certificate. Two certificates were found
in his possession when searched 1T the
station. and he is held on suspicion.
Policeman Reh was standing in \ drug
store at First and c Streets northwest
yesterday when the negro entered. Dor
rOwed a pen. and began TO ill out a blank
certificate which he took from his pocket
After Dodson left the store the policeman
followed him, and noticed that the negro
went into a house in b Street near First.
Reh waited until Dodson left the house
and then learned that the prisoner had
shown the certificate and asked for money
with which to bury a child. AS the po-
liceman left the house the negro became
suspicious and began TO run, but was
oyertaken and arrested .ster a long
chase,
Both the certificates found upon Dod-
son bear the signature of ''R. Simms. NJ
D." but the police say there is no such
physician in the city. On December II last
W. S. Perry, residing at 600 r Street
northwest, con..'ained of an attempt to
defraud him by means of fraudulent
death certificate, and gave the description
of a negro said to answer that of Dodson
closely. The negro found he was under
suspicion at that time and ran away, Ioav-
ing the certificate with Mr.. Perry, who
gave 1t TO the police. Mr.. Perry will be
asked 10 Identify Dodson today.

| ippines must be brought home before
June so. and unless the bill becomes a
law very soon it will be impossible to get
even enough raw recruits to fill the va
cancies.
The steering committee proposes TO re-
sort 10 a cloture rule if the filibusters
openly try TO delay legislation. In any
event, the proposition is to start out
this morning and insist throughout the
session that in every hour devoted to
Legislation the members must adhere
strictly to the subject under debate. While
even this will give considerable latitude
TO those opposing progress, it is thought
that constant watchfulness and insistenee
by the majority leaders on the rights of
the Senate will be required.
Senator Lodge is convinced that, while
the Senate rules with reference to debate
are very elastic, there are limitations, and
he points out the tradition that the body
can always reach vote when it desires.
He IS averse TO forcing cloture rule I'M
less the filibusters demand it by continued
delay.
BY the end of January the Senate will
be well wearied Of filibustering tactics"
said he, land the limit of patience will
have been reached. We will then easily
find way 10 take a vote. There is no
disposition on the part of the Republic
cans TO violate the traditions of the Sen
ate, but limit to dilatory tactics will be
insisted on. / have no idea that the
Army bill will fail
Messrs. Pettigrew. Allen. and Butler all
go out on March 4. and care little what
may be thought of their tactics. They are
said to have the encouragement of a large
number of Democrats. Mr.. Money. on the
other hand. has the backing of the Repub-
licans who oppose Mr.. Hanna's Ship Sub
sldy bill and he will not attempt open war
fare unless this measure is forced to the
front.
1t was stated by prominent Democratic
Senator yesterday morning that a scheme
is being prepared by the minority which
proposes that at the last minute. when
delay can no longer be secured a resolu-
ton be offered continuing the present
army establishment for two years. This,
ii is said, would attract the attention and
support of every anti administration Re
publican well the Democrats.
The steering committee is determined
that the Ship Subsidy and not the Army
bill shall fail. A majority of the Sena-
tors dread an extra session, and will |
put the bill through to avoid it. The !
programme TO be outlined will include |
both morning and evening sessions after |
February l.
The steering committee has practically !
decided to carry out the agreement |
reached before the Christmas recess, |
and will keep the Ship Subsidy bill off |
the floor. In tberevent of the measure |
being forced upon the Senate, it will be |
referred back to the Committee on Com
merce.

FOR PURE DRINKING WATER.
Representative sorton Preparing n
Bill TO Provide for Filtration.

Representative Norton of Ohio, who is
a member of the House District Commit

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE.
Catnrrh Is Found Everywhere.

| Catarrh is at home anywhere and every
! where. While more common In cold
| changeahle climates, ii is by no means
! confined to them, but is prevalent in
every State and Territory In the Union.
The common definition of catarrh is a
chronic cold in the head, which If long
neglected often destroys the sense of
smell and hearing; but there are many
other forms of the disease, even more OBJ
stinate and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes as well as catarrh of the stomach
and liver are almost as common as nasal
catarrh and generally more difficult to
cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly blood disease
and can only be successfully eradicated
by an internal treatment. Sprays, washes
and powders are useless as far as reach
ing the real seat of the disease is con-
cerned.
DR.. McIverney advises catarrh sufferers
to use a new preparation, sold by drug
gists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be-
cause actual analysis has shown these
tablets TO contain certain antiseptic quail
tiles OF the highest value and being an
internal remedy. pleasant to the taste,
convenient and harmless, can be used as
freely as required, as well for children as
for adults.
had been catarrh sufferer for years,
says
Every fall I would catch cold which
would settle in my head and throat and
hang on all winter long and every winter
it seemed to get a little worse. l was
continually clearing my throat and my
voice became affected to such an extent
as 20 interfere with my public speaking.
l tried troches and cheap cough cures
and sometimes got relief, but only for
short time, until this winter, when |
learned of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, through newspaper ad-
vertisement. Two 50-cent boxes which l
bought at my druggists, cleared my head
and throat in fine shape, and to guard
against return of my old trouble Keep
box of the tablets on hand, and when
ever / catch a little cold take a tablet
or two and ward off any serious develop
ments."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to
head the list as household remedy to
check and break up coughs and colds, be-
cause, unlike many other catarrh and
cough cures, these tablets contain no
opiate, cocaine, or any injurious drug.

A LIVELY CONTEST AHEAD
An Interesting Fight for a Sen
atOrship in Illinois.
Mr.. Cullom Opposed by n Combinn-
ton for the First Time i'm Many
Years - Representatives Hit and

Open Headquarters in Springfield.

The fight for the Illinois Senatorship IS
exciting much interest among the mem
| bers of the Illinois delegation in the
House. For the first time in many
years Senator Cullom is opposed by
combination. The men who marshaIed
his forces six years ago are divided. some
supporting Governor Tanner. who will re-
tire from Office in a few days. some be-
ing for Representative Hit, while others
are urging the claims of Representative
Cannon, Chairman of the House Commit
tee on Appropriations. These three gem
tlemen are now in Springfield, and each
has established headquarters.
In the background, with their lightning
rods aloft, are Representatives Hopkins,
Warner and Smith. Representative
Reeves, who has charge of Cullom's
forces, is also spoken of as a probable
candidate in the event of a deadlock The
friends of Cullom and Tanner claim more
than enough votes to nominate their re-
spectiye candidate on the first ballot II

the outcome and add interest to the con-

A STATEMENT FROM DADY.
He Gives His side of the Havana
Contract Case

The War Department has received a
copy of the statement which Col Michael
j. Dady, who is endeavoring to obtain a
contract for the paving and construction
Of sewerage system for Havana. recent
ly submitted to the city council. setting
a price for the work. In his statement
Colonel Dady says:
The price of our original project. as il
stood until withdrawn by the Military
Governo:, on September 26, was S12 &c.,
600 Spanish gold. if paid in cash. instead
OF bonds At the time when the Military
Governor withdrew our expediente he
proposed 10 US that it be modified by the
adoption of certain plans which had been
prepared under the direction of the En-
gineer Department, and that we submit
new prices TO accord with the project as
so modified. The modified plans were
submitted TO our Inspection together with
the various quantities as estimated by the
Engineer Department. and accepting these
quantities as the basis of our calculations.
We estimated the price OF the works at
SIG 100000 American currency
The maximum price which should be
inserted in article 2 of the pliege ac-
cording to the notifications engrafted
upon our plans, and according to the
measurements supplied to US by the De
psrtment of Engineers, is therefore SI0,-
$4,000 American currency.
1T appears that the Department of En-
gineers estimates the costs Of the work
at $9,135,5s3, adding this amount may
vary as the quantity of paving and curb
ing is increased or diminished according
TO the exigencies of the case"
copy of the decision of MAYOR Rodri-
guez suspending the action of the city
council was also sent to the Secretary of
War Mayor Rodriguez explains that his
action was taken ION the ground that the
public interests are preiudieed in conced-
ing Messrs. Michael ]. Dady & Co. the
right of tanteo,' that of taking part in
the public letting without first giving
bond and of being Unidentified in case of
not being awarded the work, they not be-
ing the authors of the project nor of the
plans considered by the council. and which
go to serve for the execution of the
works; because the price that they have
asked for the public letting is that of s10,-
500, 000 and not that OF $9.13j, $50, which
the authors of the project estimate the
carrying cut of the works will cost be-
cause these concessions TO Messrs. Mi
chael J. Dady & Co. give them such great
advantages that il is impossible for other
bidders to take part in the public letting
and IL is 10 the best interests of the city
that the privilege of bidding be rot re-
stricted.
And l believe that the public interests
Will be more benefited by the project of
the Department of Engineers than by that
of Messrs. Dady & Co., and ii will obtain
a system of sewering and paving much
more modern and efficient
