is nearer to construction than it ever
has been. The Senate, today. by a ma
jority of s votes voted the Spooner sub
stitute for the Hepburn Nicaragua
canal bill, the vote on the substitute
being AZ to "a. After two amendments
to the measure had been adopted, one
providing for a commission to super
wise the construction of the canal and
the other providing for the issuance Of
$50, 900, 600 Of two per cent. gold bonds to
raise money with which to construct
the waterway, it was passed by a vote
of CT to 6.
The vote on the Spooner substitute

1t has been evident for several days
that the Spooner substitute which in
brief provides that the President shall
select the Panama route if he can OBJ
tain a clear title to the Panama Canal
COS. property but, otherwise, he
shall adopt the Nicaraguan route
would command the votes of a ma
iorty. The Panama route was con-
Sidered more desirable by the Senate
than the Nicaraguan route. The only
question left open is the title to the
property and that the President will
determine. if the House should adopt
the Senates amendment to its bill.
Morgan, Ala, closed today's debate
with an earnest appeal for the adop-
ton of the Nicaraguan route. He had
been proceeded by Clark of Montana, in
support of the Nicara guam route and
Allison. Iowa, in support of the Spoon
er proposition. Only minor amend
ments except those indicated were
adopted. all others being voted down.
Inc Senate nad some deDdE over
the trouble into which it has gotten
with the House over amendments to-
the army appropriation bill, and finally
asked for conference with the House,
ignoring the offensive" message which
caused the trouble.
The votes in the negative on the pas
sage of the bill were cast by Bate,
Tenn. Cockrell Mo, Daniel, Va, Du-
bois, Idaho, Pettus, Ala, and Vest, Mo.

silk mills in Hudson county, n. j., have
closed down About 10000 hands are, in

iority of the proprietors OF the silk mana
featuring establishments In Hudson, fear
ing an outbreak of similar trouble here,
decided as the result of a conference, to
close down indefinitely.
The expected trouble came, late this
afternoon, when a mob Of 500 men and
women gathered at Simons' mill in
Union Hill. Police Captain Knight and
his five men, with few citizens kept the
mob in check until the fire department
was called out. The firemen turned eight
streams Of water ON the crowd and seat
tered it, Seventeen people were arrested.
The mob mentioned formed in West HO-
boken and formed into a procession with
a band at the head and marched 70
Union Hill. Capt. Knight and his little
band met the rioters. A number of wo-
men in the mob tried to rush the police
line, but We're pushed back. Postmaster
Armbruster knocked senseless with his
fist one man of the mob, Immediately
stones began to fly. Three of the police
were slightly hurt. The rioters made a
rush. but Captain Knight and his five
men laid II of them low with their clubs.
1t was then the fire department was cali
ed out ana dispersed the mob with
streams from the hose.

rush of water were shattered and
thrown high into the air and the ruins

Nearly Died Of Starvation.

A young man in one of our large cities
was recently found in an unconscious
condition, and upon examination it was
found that he was dying of starvation.
Food was given in small quantities and
in few days the patient recovered.
There are many other people starving
themselves because they are afraid to eat
good substantial food. Their stomachs
are weak and cannot therefore digest it
properly. Consequently the patient loses
flesh and the blood and nerves become
impoverished. \ few doses of Hostetter 5
Stomach Bitters will restore the stomach
to its normal condition and cure head
ache, indigestion, dyspepsia, fiatulency,
constipation and biliousness. 1t is the
