Mr.. FRYE TO REPUBLICANS.
She Ship Subsidy BILL a Logical Re-
Spouse to the Demands and Prin-
cipIes of the Party.

she Ship Subsidy Bill a Logical Re-
Spouse TO the Demands and Prin-
ciples of the Party.
Washington, March 4.-The ship
subsidy bill was further discussed in
the Senate to-day by Mr.. Frye. No
tice had been given by Mr.. Vest that
he would address the Senate on the
bill, but Mr.. Clay explained that ne
was unavoidably absent. Mr.. Frye's
remarks We're directed principally to
the Republican senator's.
Mr.. Clay gave notice that he would
address the Senate tomorrow on the
pending measure. No other senator's
desiring to speak to-day, the bill was
laid aside.
Mr.. Frye declared that in drafting
the bill now before the Senate he had
undertaken to obviate the objections
OF those who were friendly to it, and
he added:
L think 1 have succeeded"
After reading from consular reports
giving statistics of American exports,
Mr.. Frye, turning to the Republican
side, said:
Il wish to say few words especial
ly to the Republicans of the Senate"
He then told them that he regarded
the present bill as a logical response
to the demands and the principles of
the Republican party, and read from
messages to Congress by Presidents
Arthur, Harrison and Mckinley, in
which the inferiority of our merchant
marine was set forth.
President Roosevelt had likewise
stated his views in his message to
Congress.
MIR. Frye Caught Mapping.
An amusing incident occurred at
the conclusion Of Mr.. Frye's remarks.
Mr.. Clay rose and addressing him
self to the chair, employed the usual
phrase, "Mr. President" Mr.: Frye
who was on the floor, forgetting he
was not in the chair, quickly re-
sponded by granting Mr. Clay the
floor, which created no little amount
of laughter.
Mr.. Hoar gave notice that he would
on Thursday, next, after the dispo-
sition OF routine business, call up the
bill for the protection of the Presi-
dent of the United States, and press
it each day until vote was taken
upon it.
Mr.. Cullom, from the Committee on
Appropria tons, reported the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropri-
alton bill for the fiscal year 1903 and
gave notice that he would call it up
in the morning.
The Senate after an executive ses-
sion adjourned.

ca1CAGO IRISH NATIONALIsTs
HEAR WARM SPEECH.

congressman Lentz of Ohio Turns
Loose His Batteries Upon Great
uritain and the Administration at
wasbinGtOn-If England Is Right
IN south Africa and Washington Is
Rinht in the Philippines Then the
United states Would Be Justified
i'm Annexing Canada.
Chicago. March 4.-The woes of Ire
land and the wrongs of the Beers were
t;ndred subjects at a meeting of the
Irish Nationalists held in this city
,o-niebt. The meeting was primarily
held to pay tribute to the memory of
Robert Emmett, but the South African
war occupied almost an equal space
with the Irish patriot in the addresses
that were made. The chief address Of
the evening was made by e0-Con-
gressman John j. Lentz of Ohio, who
spoke as follows:
"If it is good policy, if it is correct
morality for Great Britain to prevent
the development and growth of repub-
ucan governments in South Africa,
then the time is ripe for the United
States to prevent the growth and de-
velopment of monarchical institutions
in North America. If England can
iustify the barbarous war she is MAX
ing against the Beers on the ground
mat she cannot afford to allow re-
nublic to be established across the
Vaal river then the people of the
aff at.d fn
a monarchical institution to strengthen
itself across the Detroit and st. Law
renee rivers. If England is right in
South Africa, and if the government
AT Washington is right in it's policy in
the Philippine Islands, then much more
Unsuitable will the people of the Unit
ed States be in insisting Immediately
upon the annexation of Canada.
There is no good reason why Con-
gress should not take action and pre-
vent the people of this country from
supplying the British with more horses
and mules in South Africa, which the
Beers say are among the most effective
equipment and the most dangerous in
struments of the British against them.
Nor is there any good reason, nor even
a good excuse for the President of the
United States neglecting the duty of
neutrality imposed by article of the
treaty of Washington.
Another Alabama Case.
Eve We're exceedingly active and
aggressive in the demands made upon
Great Britain for damages and in
juries done at sea by the Alabama
and other vessels and I fail to see
why we should not be liable, morally
at least, if not financially, not alone
to the people of South Africa, but the
lberty-loying people of the whole
world for lending substantial support
10 Great Britain in her unwarranted
war on the Transvaal republic and
the Orange Free State. We are per-
hitting Great Britain to make use of
New Orleans for the purpose of re-
REVEAL and augmentation of military
supplies. We are not exercising due
diligence as to all persons within our
Jurisdiction to prevent violation of
cur obligations and duties"

BALTIMORE DEMOCRATS MET.
HENRY GEORGE, JR., THE
ORATORS.

Mr.. CIeveIand's Health Would Not
Let Him Accept-DeArmond Ar
raigned the administration for Its
Imperinlistic Policy and the Fos-
terinE of Trusts-The Mission of
the Democratic Party TO over
throw Such n System, He Said.
Baltimore. March 4.-Congressman
Henry George, Jr., of New York were
the principal speakers at the celebra-
ton of the thirtieth anniversary of
the Crescent Democratic Club in this
city tonight. Letters were read from
ex-President Grover Cleveland, Mayor
Thomas L. Johnson of Cleveland, John
Dewitt Warner of New York and
Henry w. Lamb, president of the
American Free Trade Society.
Mr.. Cleveland's letter was as follows:
II am sorry to say that the condi-
ton of my health is such that l feel
obliged to forego the satisfaction which
my acceptance Of your invitation would
afford me-"
Mr.. Diamonds speech was a severe
arrangement of the Republican rational
administration for it's ''imperialistic"
policy and fostering of trusts" by the
present system of taxation. He spoke
in part as follows:
Those in control of the government
have carried it farther in a few years
than ever before it was carried in gen
erations. and almost everything that
has been regarded as sacred by our
forefathers has been disregarded. The
burden and duty rests upon the Dem
cratic party to bring it back to sound
principles.
1.-The time was when this great con-
tinent was supposed to be sufficient,
but the time has come when far dis
tant lands beyond the sea are to be
brought under our dominion contrary
to the teaching of all the wise men
of our history"
Adverting to the need of tariff re-
form, Mr.. DeArmond said
The only authority for taxation is
necessity for revenue only. Tariff tax
alton should be so adjusted to bring
the largest amount of revenue for the
needs of government, with the least
amount of burden upon those who bear
the burden of taxation. The present
system of taxation has built up mighty
trusts that make legislators and con-
troll legislatures. 1t is the mission OF
the Democratic party to do what can
be done for the interests of the Ameri-
can republic in an endeavor to over
throw such a system. Tariff reform
properly placed should take the tariff
off those commodities sold abroad
cheaper than they can be bought in
America"
Referring to the American merchant
marine Mr.. DeArmond said:
T"he time ought to come when Amer
can ships would not be strangers on
the briny deep, when travellers should
see more than one American flag on
the ocean,
Mr.. George made a plea for free
trade.

M'KINLEY'S STAND FOR CUBA.
DESIRED PEACE, BUT WAS DETER
MINED ON RESCUE.

Charles Emory Smiths Address at
the Memorial Exercises of the
New York Legislature-The Speak
err Made the Positive Assertion
That 1t Was by Mr.. McKinIey's
Decision That the Philippines
Were HeId-WiII BE to FiIipinos OF
Future What Lincoln Is to Negroes
of To-day.
Albany, N. Y. March 4.-The MEM
DRY of the late President Mckinley
was honored by the Legislature of
the state tonight. The exercises
and presided over by Gov. Odell.
Seated on the platform were United
States Senator Thomas c. Platt and
the members of the legislative COM
mittee which arranged for the exer-
cises. The chamber was appropriate
ly decorated.
The opening prayer was delivered
by the Ri. Rev. William C. Doane,
Protestant Episcopal bishop of AL
bany. The choir of All Saints Pro-
the music. Gov Odell introduced the
speaker of the evening, the Hon.
Charles Emory Smith, formerly post
master general. Referring to Presi-
dent McKinleys course just before
the Spanish war, Mr.. Smith said:
mo one who did not see the Presi-
dent at close hand during those stormy
and trying days could measure the
greatness of his spirit or the courage
of his purpose. OF all men in the land
he was the coolest, the calmest and
the most clear sighted.
HE did not despair of a pacific and
accepted solution. In his purpose of
rescuing Cuba he never faltered. In
more sober understanding and aim he
shared the hot determination of the
country that the intolerable wrongs
in the unhappy isle must cease; he
had reiterated the protests of other
Presidents, and, as the offenses grew,
had gone farther into action, but he
still hoped and believed that the re-
demption could be effected without the
necessity of war. The country does
not yet know the full extent of the
effort he made to save Cuba and at
the same time avert war. But it was
events outran every plan; the mighty
issues FASTENED to their deadly Crap
pie, and the war was on"
OF President McKinley's decision to
hold the Philippines the speaker said:
1.-THE one overmastering influence in
deciding his course was his profound
conviction of duty to the rude peoples
whom the course of events had placed
in our keeping. He felt that to aban-
don them under such circumstances
would be recreancy to a sacred trust.
His, then, was the authority, his
the responsibility, his the decision in
what was a turning point in American
history and a new epoch in the course
of civilization. It is certain that the
freedom which has spread its glorious
light in the Philippine Islands can
never be dimmed. 1t was William Nc
Kinley who lifted them out of the
thraIldom and darkness of three hun
dred years, into the liberty and en-
lightenment of the twentieth century,
and whatever the vicissitudes of cir
cumstances, it is sure that in the COM
ing time the millions of dark-visaged
and disenthralled people and their
millions of descendants will recognize
him as the blacks of America recognize

Tie Catholic Insurance Order in "A
Very Satisfactory Condition.
New Haven, Conn. March Especial
interest attached to the national con-
vention of the Knights of Columbus,
which began here to-day, in view of
the fact that the new constitution
framed at the last session of the ma
tional council of the order was to be
submitted for adoption. The change
of insurance risks and the clause in the
new constitution barring more rigidly
than ever before from membership in
the order, persons directly connected
with liquor traffic already have given
rise to much discussion and the con-
vention was expected to give these
matters especial consideration. The
change in insurance rates has been in
force for two months, but movement
has been inaugurated in this state re-
Gently to have the level rate of insur-
ance reduced to members who have
reached the age of 60, and it was
thought probable that this movement
would find strong expression in the
convention.

ingham, Mass, supreme knight of the
order, called the delegates to order
and after the preliminary business was
ended, presented his annual address

How old is a Chinaman? Can
you give good guess? says the
Washington Post. 1t is harder to tell
than the age of a negro. The China
man has no beard and his hair is of
a jet and glossy blackness, which
turns gray only at an extreme age,
when Caucasian head would be
either snow white or bald Then,
again, the Chinese have the most per-
feet nervous system of any people in
the world and do not wrinkle up with
age. They can stand any amount of
opium smoking without material in
jury that would send a white man to
his grave or an insane asylum. So
you have little to go by. A China
man viii look 80 when he is 20 and
when he is so. If you ask him his
age he viii place it at least 10 years
ahead, for he holds age to be honor
able. and among his people he viii be
respected and looked up to by all his
juniors.

Floods in Tennessee Alone Cost IL
About $25O,OOO.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March A.
Official reports received at the rail-
road headquarters show that the sit
uation in the flooded district is i'm
proved. The Southern Railways loss
between Morristown and Asheville
will aggregate from 100000 to $780,
600 to roadbed and bridges alone. The
loss by delayed and annulled trains
and cutting off of all passenger and

FOUND 1T.
Coffee Was Doing the Work I'm Good
Style.

Gomez was Doing the work In GOOD
style.
Members of the same family are af-
fected differently by coffee drinking
One may feel the effect in a disordered
stomach, while another may have no
trouble with the stomach so far as
known, but have palpitation of the
heart and finally organic heart disease,
or perhaps in another the kidneys may
become affected.
AS an illustration, a family in Muir
physboro. Ill, reports an experience.
Mrs. Cole discovered that the sour
stomach and nervous restless nights
were caused by coffe drinking. Her
mother suffered from nervousness when
coffee was used while the brother of
the family became a wreck directly
from coffee drinking.
Mrs. Cole, in her letter, says, refer
ring to her brother, HE went from
one physician to another and his case
puzzled them all until he had tried
eleven different physicians. Some
thought he had apolplexy, other loco
motor ataXia, some advised operations
to relieve the pressure at certain
points, altogether his case became so
alarming that we were afraid to have
him alone. He frequently tainted away,
Finally one of the physicians sug-
gested that possibly coffee brought on
some of the symptoms, so he was per-
suaded to give up coffee and begin the
use of Postum Food Coffee. Then he
began to recover, and day by day the
old troubles left. Now he has gotten
entirely we'll, has gained about thirty
pounds and is the picture of
health. OF course, he and his family
use Postum regularly. He says he
would as soon drink a spoonful of pois-
on as of old-fashioned coffee.
When we first began to make Postum
it was boiled but a few minutes and
none of us liked it, but since we began
making it properly by having it boil
long enough to bring out the flavor we
all consider it superior to the old
fashioned coffee. 1t is delicious when
made right, and that is easy.
A number of our friends have been
cured of various ailments by leaving
off coffee and using Postum. With Mrs.
- the coffee caused a smothering SEN
sation, bloating and serious trouble
with the heart. She has entirely recov-
cred since changing from common cof-
fee to Postum"
