Fifty Eighth Congress.
Washington, Nov. 10.
SENATE.

Carrie Nation of Kansas for the first
time in her life, today saw the United
States Senate opened. She occupied a
seat in the front row of the public gall
lery to the left of the chamber During
the PRAYER she leaned slightly forward,
her chin resting in the palm of her
right hand A doorkeeper stood beside
her. Nearby was Capitol policeman,
ready for an emergency. 1t was feared
she would create a disturbance, as she
insisted upon disposing of miniature
hatchets to the spectators in the gallery.
She was heard to make no comment and
when the order OF bills was reached she
quietly retired. There we're many SEN
ators present. They viewed her with as
much interest, apparently, as she did
them, but not so openly.
At 1915, just as Mr.. Ball, of Della
ware, had been recognized, scuffle was
heard in the gallery recently vacated by
Mrs. Nation and shrill feminine voice
cried: "Salute-Its treason; its con-
splracy; now its treason, now again Its
treason; salute9 An internal ag-
gregation of conspiracy" But the
sentence was not finished. The dis
turber was Mrs. Nation. She took this
method of making her return known tc
the Senators. The doorkeeper had been
caught mapping, but only for moment
She was pulled and pushed outside. A
murmur swept over the galleries. Two
or three Senators indiscreetly smiled, but
the majority apparently gave no heed
and were in utter ignorance why the
reading clerk should have stopped in the
midst of reading a title to a bill. They
never turned head. Soon the accus
toned quiet stole over the body's de
liberations.
A number of petitions asking for The

The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.]
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle Of
the night by whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost in case of Group
as revolver is to be lost in case Of burg
lars. There used to be an oldfashioned
remedy tor Group, known as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost so much. IT
causes the patient to a throw up the
phlegm" quicker, aud gives relief in a
shorter time. Give this remedy as soon
as the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale

NOTWITHSTANDING the official state
ments made periodically that the Philip
pine war is over, dispatches from Manila
today state that "the Moros of Jolo have
broken out in rebellion" and that Gene
raj Wood has gone to the scene Of the
disturbance; also that the captain of a
United States army transport has landed
re-enforcements in Jolo and that fighting
commenced as soon as the troops were
landed. 1t has always been said that
this country would have the same trouble
with the Filipinos as had Spain, and so
far this prophecy has been fulfilled. The
trouble with the Filipinos is that they
never know when they are whipped, and
such people are difficult to conquer when
their conquerers live twelve thousand
miles away.

THURSDAY EVENING. NOV 10, 1908

In THE United States ShipbuildiDg
Company's scandal the two contending
sides got down to definite agreement
as TO terms in New York yesterday.
In consequence of this the hearing which
was set for today before U. S. Special
Examiner Oliphant will not take place
It is not expected that any other hear
inos will he held. The settlement vir-
tually reached yesterday concludes the
most remarkable investigation that was
ever made into the affairs of Wall street.
It is understood that the terms of the
settlement are as follows: First, that
William d. Guthrie, counsel for Charles
NJ. Schwab, Max Pam and the Ship
building Company will confess Judgment
in the case. Second, that the legal fees
and other expenses attendant upon the
enormous amount of litigation which the
complaining first mortgage bondholders
were put to will be paid by the Schwab
marty. These expenses are said to
amount to $4,000. Third, that the
holdings of the complainant bondholders,
who wish to sell their bonds, will be
purchased on basis of 80. These
bonds have recently sold in the market
at IA. In confessing Judgment the
schwab party will acknowledge that the
shipbuilding company is insolvent ana
that the temporary receivership should
no made permanent. While much tes-
timony of a startling character was
brought out at the previous hearings
the facts unrevealed, and which will re-
main hidden if the settlement is perfect
ed are even of more extraordinary ma
ture. 1t is believed that had these facts
heen brought out condition of affairs
would have been exposed that would
have caused the district attorney to take
co0nizance of the matter and place it be-
fore the grand jury. The fear OF this
doubtless was the actuating cause OF the
agreement" for trust barons while
caring little for law suits do not like the
idea OF standing trials which might land
them in the penitentiary.

SOCIALISM was the subject of debate
IN the convention of the American FED
Grafton of Labor in Boston again yester-
day. and while some radical members
made speeches favoring the adoption OF
certain resolutions by the convention
which would have pledged the repre-
sentatiyes of labor to socialism, ma
iority looked at the matter in the correct
light and voted them down. SocialIstic
leaders have long coveted the votes OF
workingmen, but so far the latter have
not been reduced by their wiles, and
the persons now assembled in Boston,
considering as they are the general wei
fare of those who toll, have acted wisely.
They show their allegiance to those they
represent by waving off socialism. There
are already enough troubles and vexa-
tious in the United States, and there
would be legions instead Of scores If
people holding impractical ideas of po-
litical economy ever get in power. What
claims have socialists on laboring men,
Their aims are as Numerically opposite
as the East is from the West. Socialists
are seeking their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
not that of those who toll and spin, and
the latter are naturally avoiding them
The emissaries of socialism have always
made themselves conspicuous at labor
meetings and the setback they received
at Boston yesterday is just rebuke.
