QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civiliz-
ed world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or BiliOusness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Pros
tratiOn or Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation ofundigested food,
regulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action Of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses

CONGRESSIONAL.

After six weeks of controversy the
Senate and House yesterday evening
reached an agreement upon the army
appropriation bill. The result was
accomplished by acompromise, in which
the House leaders claim a victory. The
Senate recedes from the position which
it assumed, and the House in turn voted
to increase its appropriation for the con-
struction of barracks to SO, $50, 600,
which the Senate will accept. The
original appropriation was for SO, OOO,-
600. which was increased in the Senate
to 81, 900, 600. When the bill came
back to the House Mr.. Cannon, the
chairman of the committee on appropri-
ations, moved to instruct the cOnferees
not to agree to this amendment, and
after considerable opposition the motion
was finally adopted. Since that time
the conferees have been struggling with
the question, and each house refusing to
Weld until yesterday, when the cOmprc-
mise was effected Chairman Hull call
ed up the conference report in the House
Yesterday. which settled all save two
questions in dispute. He moved that
the House agree to make the appropri-
alton for barracks SO, $50, 900, which, he
said, the Senate would accept. He cx-
planned that the House had come out
victorious in the controversy, as the
Senate had receded from all legislative
questions in the bill which had been OBJ
noxious to the House. Mr.. Hull said
that the democrats opposed his motion
because they were not in favor of taking
care of the army.
Mr.. Richardson denied this statement
and said that the minority had simply
followed the leadership Of Mr.. Cannon,
who made the motion to instruct the
cOnfcrees not to agree to the Senate
amendment increasing the appropriation
for barracks.
Mr.. Cannon thought Mr.. HulPs
motion should prevail, rs it would dis
pose of the matters in dispute to the
satisfaction Of the House.
Mr.. Hay, of Virginia, characterized
Chairman HulPs statement that the
democrats opposed the amendment be-
cause they did not want to care for the
army as a malicious SANDER made for
cheap political purposes. Mr.. Slayden
was recognized for one moment and
spoke in the same vein.
Mr.. Hull's motion was agreed TO by
vote of 1870 to 20.
The bill was then returned to con-
ference and later the Senate agreed to
yield and accept the compromise.

THE APPREHENSION caused by the
serious illness of King Edward was in no
way allayed by the dispatches received
during last night There were several
idle rumors in circulation concerning the
condition of the royal patient. One was
to the effect that a bulletin had been
posted in Washing ton stating that the
kings symptoms had become so alarm
ing that a second operation was to be
resorted to. This was not confirmed by
the dispatches printed this morning.
There is still much cause for anxiety As
to the outcome, while all are hoping for
the best. The old observation that the
angel of death hovers about the palace
and the cottage gate is patent in the case
of King Edward The silken canopies OF
Buckingham Palace, the medical expert
of the kingdom and the most careful
nursing are alike pOwerless when the
axe is once laid at the root of the tree.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT in a speech
Yesterday afternoon at the Harvard
alumni banqu't vigorously defended
Gen. Leonard Woods administration as
Governor General of Cuba, and sharply
rebuked the generals critics. He also
bestowed high praise upon Governor
Taft Of the Philippines, told why he
could not carry out his desire of honor
ing the Judge by an appointment to the
bench of the Supreme. Court, and credit
ell Elihu Root, the secretary of war,
with performing most successfully the
most responsible work of any man in the
administration. In concluding, the
President said he could not show his ap-
probation of these three men in any
way save the wholly insufficient one OF
standing up for them and for their works,
and that he would do. Mr.. Roosevelt ;
opinions in such cases are entitled to no
more consideration than those of other
people who have observed the course of
events in the past four years, and those
who have welded power in the Philip
pines and in Cuba having made them
selves objects of criticism they will not
escape public censure Notwithstanding
the President approves of their actions.
