Terms Situation a Peaceful Do-
IiticaI Blockade.
SHOWS ULTERIOR MOTIVE
Albanian Intimates That Real Mean
ing of Obstruction Is to Force

at Last Moment.

Washington February 10.-The state
hood bill again came up in the senate

half He said the senate had been lock-
ed In a peaceful political blockade.
Scarcely a ripple has appeared he
said, ito agitate anybody but the block
ade has been going on, the time of the
senate being wasted and keeping us from
engaging in the discussion of a real topic
that is looming up behind this matter
the trusts that have afflicted the people
of the country" Hetsaid the trusts have
been kept back and they will be kept
back until 1t is to late to have any dis
cussion regarding them, and he said:
I'VE will be forced to accept PROPOSE
ton that has come to us from the house,
possibly without amendment and with
out the opportunity of explaining our
views against it,"
The whole world knows that the trust
bill is nothing more than ''mush poul-
tice to be put on the people to alleviate
the pain The object was not to defeat
the admission of the territories as states
which there is no excise. He then con-
tinued his remarks ii support of the
statehood bill.

court martial cases ii the Philippines

CANAL TREATY FIRST.
Senator CulIom viii Give Panama
Agreement Preference.

Washington, February Ex-senator Gull
lom, chairman of the senate committee
on foreign relations, said today that he
had decided to give the Panama canal
treaty preference when an executive ses-
sion long enough to consider any of the
pending treaties can be secured for the
reason that the option of the United
States on the franchise and other canal
property of the French Panama Canal
company expires on the 4th of March,
and because of the announced determin-
alton of Senator Morgan to talk at length
on the treaty.
Mr.. Cullom said he will move an ex-
ecutive session to take up the treaties as
soon as the consent of the advocates of
the statehood bill can be obtained They
are still in a position 20 prevent ex-
ecutive sessions of any length, which
would prevent discussion on the state
hood bill.

COMPROMISE PREPARED.
Republican Senators Have Gotten Up
New Statehood Bill.

Washington, February 1O.-The repub-
lican senatorial advocates of a compro-
mise statehood bill have prepared their
measure for the admission of the two
states. Oklahoma and Indian Territory,
comprising one state, and Arizona and
New Mexico the other.
They will bring it before the commit
tee on territories at the first opportune
moment, but are holding back because of
the opposition of the democratic sena-
tors and because some republican sup
porters of statehood are not entirely re-
conciled TO the change.
There is renewed talk of pressing the
omnibus bill as an amendment TO the
agricultural appropriation bill, and tbs
advocates of that course contend that
they have pledges of support from ma
jority of the senators.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
BUT 1t Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

common sense would suggest that II
one wishes to become feshy and plumn
IL can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be albu-
minous or flesh forming food like eggs.
beefsteak and cereals; in other words
the kinds of food that make flesh are
the foods which form the greater part
of our daily bills of fare
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the stom-
ach, from abuse and overwork does not
properly digest and assimilate it, which
is the reason so many people remain thin
and under weight the digestive organs
do not completely digest the flesh form
ing beefsteak and eggs and similar whole
some food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics. although
they may have no particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs
III such persons would lay their preiu-
dices aside and make regular practice
of taking. after each meal one or two
OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets the food
would be quickly and thoroughly digest
ed, because these tablets contain the
natural peptones and diastase which,
every weak stomach lacks. and by sup
plying this want the stomach is soon
enabled to regain natural tone and vigor.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of flesh forming food. meat eggs,
bread and potatoes. and this is the reason
they so quickly build up, strengthen and
invigorate thin. dyspeptic men. women
and children.
Invalids and children. even the most
delicate, use them with farked benefit
as they contain no strong. irritating
drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful in
grcdient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
successful and most widely known of any
remedy for stomach trouble because 1t is
the most reasonable and scientific of
modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
every druggist in the United States and
Canada as we'll as in Great Britain. at
80 cents for complete treatment

stomach trouble or to make thin. nerv-

AGREE ON ARMY BILL.
Conferees on General staff Measure
Come to Terms.

Washington, February TO- The con-
ferees on the army general staff bill
reached an agreement today. The retire
ment provision was eliminated, as it is
a part of the army appropriation bill.
The section making the chief of artillery
a member of the general staff, is agreed
to with provision that he must be ap-
pointed and confirmed by the senate as
a brigadier general. The number of
brigadier generals of the line are re-
duced to fourteen so that the whole num-
Der shall be only fourteen. The pro-
vision that the chief of staff shall be
under the direction of the secretary of
war by direction of the President, is re-
tanned as is also that provision which
makes the act go into effect August Is,
