voted to sustain the speaker would

them did so vote when the bill came
up.
The consequence was when the bill
was taken up at the beginning of the
afternoon session there was no debate,

The order reducing the army to the minimum of 59, 600 men is in course of preparation at the war department and is one of a series of orders that have been issued cutting down the regular army as the decrease could be made as result of reduction of the force in the Philippines. The manner in which this order will be carried out is to discontinue enlistments until the num5e fixed has been reached
 In the course of few months the export duty on lumber imposed by the government of British Columbia has resulted in driving a numbe, of Ameri- can sawmils across the line and large ly prospering the Canadian lumber trade. A short report to the state de- partment from United States Consul Dudley at Vancouver sums up the workings of the new law to that effect. He says the shingles produced in Can ada go into the United States notwith- standing the duty. There is a demand for 5000 or 5000 men to work in the mills and logging camps, although the wages offered are lower than on the American side.
 A committee, headed by R. H. War ner, chairman of the citizens execu- tive committee, of the recent national encampment of the G. A. R., and Hon. J. H.. Brigham, assistant sec- retaiy of agriculture, called at the White House Thursday and presented to President Roosevelt G. A. R. badge commemorative of the national encamp- ment. The badge is of solid gold, handsomely embossed and engraved. The president expressed to the com mittee his appreciation of the thought fitness which prompted the persenta- tion and indicated that he would treasure the badge as a memento of the visit to Washington of the mem- bers of the G. A. R. and of their uni form consideration of him.

eign office entirely discredits the report telegraphed from Bucharest. Rouman- ia, to the London Daily Mail that Russia has proposed to Turkey a re- vival of the treaty of 1882, which es- tablished a Russian alliance, under the terms of which the government of Turkey undertook at Russias request to exclnde in time of war all foreign warships from the Black sea, while Russia undertook at Turkeys request to furnish her aid by land and sea if necessary. It is pointed out at the foreign office here that all European powers are concerned in the existii z treaties governing the passage of the Dardenelles by foreign .warships and that it is impossible for Russia to modify them without the consent of the co.signatories.

CATASTROPHE INVERTED
By Pastors Goodness a Church Was
 Cleared Before Floors Gave Way

A serious catastrophe was narrowly averted at the First Christian church, Omaha, last Sunday, when the 800 people who gathered to hear Rev. Allen Wilson of Irvington, Ind, barely escaped being thrown into the base ment, twenty-five feet below, by the giving away of rotten timbers in the floor. The congregation passed out quietly, however, upon being notified of their peril and all escaped unhurt. Rev. Harry G. Hall, pastor of the church, quietly notified the audience that the floors were unsafe and request ed tha people retire as quietly as possi- ble. and asking that. the ladies be per- mitted to first go out of the building. Those in the audience did not know of their real peril until thev were ali out of the building. when it was learned that the floor had settled five inches, aud that the gallery was in tottering condition.
 The church, which was an old build ing was rendered useless and probably will have to be rebuilt.

A Cloud in the East

London-In a dispatch from Buchar- est, Roumania, the correspondent of the Daily Mail says he has just returned from Constantinople, where he investi- gated the reported Russian diplomatic advances to Turkey. He says he is able to affirm positively that Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia during his visit to the sultan proposed to Turkey the revival of the treaty which was concluded in June, 1888, and which es- tablished Russo Turkish alliance. Under the terms of this treaty the ports undertook, at Russia's request, to exclude in time of war all foreign warships from the Black sea, while Russia undertook, at Turkeys request to furnish aid by land and sea forces.
 Ths treaty, continues the correspond ent of the Daily Mail, which really placed Turkey in the position of sub ject state of Russia, lasted for eight years, but on account of the opposit tion Of the western powers It was not re- newed. Russia now proposes not only to renew it, but to introduce articles strengthening its purport.
 The Turkish court and government were thrown into consternation, fear ing it was Russa's intention to enforce her wishes. Some of the ministers were.disposed to entertainsthe proposal but majority of the influential mini sters were against it.
 In an editorial article on the dis patch of it's Bucharest correspondent, the Daily Mail says it thinks this news explains the recent rumors of the Russian attempt to regain control of the Dardanelles. The paper sounds an alarmist note of warning to Great Britian, Austria and Germany against this new "thunder cloud" in the east.

where admit that Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, which they sell at 50 cents for full sized treatment, is the safest, most ef- fective and popular of all catarrh reme- dies
 Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and throat lozenges contain opiates; these cheap medicines give a temporary relief, especially with little children, by destroy ing nerve sensation; the irritation in throat, which causes coughing is tenn porarily removed, not by removing the cause but by deadening the nerves of feeling the irritation is not felt, although it is still there and will promptly return.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is the best remedy to remove catarrhal secretion, whether in the nose, throat or stomach, because they are composed of wholesome antiseptics like Red Gum, Blood Root, etc: when you use these tablets you know what you are putting into your system and not taking chances with CO., caine, opiates or similar poisons found in so many catarrh cures and cough medi- cines.
 pr. Ramsdell, in commenting on catarrh cures says: "I can heartily recommend Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because they contain no cocaine nor other dangerous drug found in so many advertised catarrh cures. I have known of many cases of long standing catarrh of the head and throat completely cured by the daily use of these tablets for several weeks. One case in particular. which I could not reach with an inhaler or spray and where the catarrh caused daily headaches and a noticeable loss of hearing was entirely cured by this harmless but effective rem- edy."
 pr. Wainwright says: "I never hesi- tate to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for catarrhal headaches and catarrhal deafness because I know them to be per- fectly safe for child or adult and have seen many remarkable cures resulting from their regular daily use; because they are advertised and sold in drug stores is no reason why any good physi- elan should not use them because We should seize upon the means of cure wherever fo9gd. .Tsnoiss,
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are especially valuable for catarrhal colds in children because they are pleasant to the taste and may be used freely to break up se- were colds and croup at the very begin ming.
 All druggists sell the remedy at fifty cents for full sized package.
