QUAY HAS THEM ALL GUESSING.
serata Managers Cannot Avoid Extra
Session Without Passinn His Fill

Serata Managers Cannot Avoid Extra
Session Without Passing His Bill.
Washington, Feb. 19.-Mhether there
will be an extra session of congress may
be determined before the senate adj
journs today. The republican steering
committee last evening tried to figure
way out of the present difficulties
but the statehood measure. looming
larger on the horizon with every pass
ing day, was insurmountable. 1t was
decided to have Il definite test on ii.
The postal appropriation bin, having
had the statehood measure fastened to
1t as Il rider, is to be brought out today
according to plans of the steering com
mittee. The amendment viii be moved
and objected to as not sermane to the
bill. The president pro tenn, Senator
Frye, must rule with the DIRECTORS.
Quay will appeal, and the vote Oh the
appeal will decide whether statehood
absolutely controls the situation.
Statehood Men Determined.
If the statehood people will not even
allow the postal appropriation to pass,
it means that there must be com
promise or an extra session.
No compromise can be reached, ap-
parently, short of admitting some new
states. Quay might accept two states,
but this does not seem likely to be the
arrangement. Three or none seems
more likely.
Between Quay's insistence on a state
hood vote, and Morgan's determined
opposition to the Panama canal treaty.
the steering committee has a bad
tangle on Its hands, and doesn't see a
way out. Passing the statehood bill,
which the senate maiority undoubtedly
favors, would bring business to finish
very soon. But the opposition seems as
determined as ever and to force a vote
on either side is simply impossible.

/ You are hard to please he said,
but his heart was full of joy at the
thought of trying to please her. If

The girl answered his words and not
his thoughts.
My hero must have every virtue for

BY this time she had reached the ter

Nillon called to her longingly:

The girl smiled denial.

have said it long since. FAREWELL"
Nillon made a dash for audacity
Il viii follow YOU he said, and he
moved to do so, but the girls lifted
finger stayed him.
You may not" she said peremptor-

a swift salutation, gracious as the dip

AN angel. He murinured to himself her
words as he slowly descended the steps

ooh, that man would come to
court and on that text he wove the
hopeful commentary of his thoughts.

He was exquisitely pleased with him

that held him and katherine. He for
got as lovers always will forget, that
there was any one else in the world
save himself and his beloved, and he
was so wrapped in his sweet contem-
plations that he did not hear the tower
door gently open. did not hear the soft,
creeping footsteps OF the king as he
came out of his hiding place and
shufed across the soft grass toward his
plaything.

New euro for Lame Baoh.

Rutledge, Mimi, Feb. 18.-Mr. Il. O.
Getchell Of this place relates happy
experience which will be read with In.
terest by all those who have similar
trouble.
1t appears that last winter Mr..
Getchell was seized with lameness
and soreness in his back which grew
worse and worse till at last 1t became
very bad and made It very difficult for
him to get about at all.
After time he heard of new rem.
sdy for backache which some Of his
friends and neighbors said had cured
them and he determined to try 1t. The
name of the remedy is Dodd's Kidney
Pills and Mr.. Getchell has proven that
1t Is sure cure. He says:
II used two boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills according to directions and my
lame back was entirely cured and am
all o. K. again. Dodd's Kidney pills
are as good as represented"
This remedy is very popular here
and has worked some remarkable cures
of Backache and Kidney Trouble.

ire PRESIDENTS GROW RICH.
v.n..u.!.'. Ex.eutiv.. Go Into Pow.

venexuela's Executives Go Into Power
Poor and Come Out Wealthy.
London Telegraph: A representative OF
the Daily Telegraph had an interview
yesterday with gentleman who has
been well acquainted with Venezuela for
many years past, and has been associated
with several important industrial under
takings In that country. According to his
view, the one chance Of salvation would
be the placing OF the customs under Euro.
pean control-an even. however, which Is
not likely to take place. Venezuela itself
teens with natural resources. Apart
from Its mineral wealth, 1t grows almost
anything. and its coffee and cocoa are
considered to be the best in the world.
The trouble Is that the people. who. left
to themselves, would be content to till the
land and otherwise lead an industrious
life. are ruled by class of broken-down
journalists and lawyers. whose one OBJ
ject Is to get into power for the sake OF
what they can make during their term of
office.
ut may seem Incredible said our in
formant, but not many years ago, on
the day before DR.. Palacio was elected
president, he was unable to get credit for
the price of ham. Yet in fourteen
months he retired to the more genial
guarantee the accuracy Of the amount be-
cause / assisted in counting the boxes OF
bullion in which the treasure was sent to
Europe. The fact that the one object OF
the government Is to divide rs much OF
the revenue as 1t can among its members
and to spend rs little as possible upon the
administration of the country. The rev.
enue returns that are supplied are wholly
untrustworthy, and few people except the
inner ring know what 1t really is. The
late President Crespo used to send down.
every day. including saints day and Sun
days, to the treasury for f360, which hi
said was due to him for his salary a.
president, so that he regarded his Aosi-
ton as being worth at least s130Oo
year.
The huge fortune which was made by
the now deceased Guzman Blanco Is a
matter of history, but it is not 80 well
known that when he retired from the
presidency he went to Paris an envoy ex-
trs.odinary, with salary of E25,000 year
In addition to expenses, one item OF these
expenses on on occasion being $4,000 for
q ball.
.'Of course, If the government class lives
IL. this extravagant manner and fails to
pay the subordinate officials, the latter
have to earn their living by getting
backsheesh wherever they can. No one
who has not had practical experience can
realize the infinite annoyance to which
foreign industrial undertakings are sub
jected unless they are prepared to pay
handsomely for being leIt alone. To take
only one instance. the La Guayra harbor
was undertaken on government guar
antee of per cent, but, owing to the con-
slant interference of government officials.
the company was eventually glad to re-
iinquish the guarantee in consideration OF
being allowed to carry on Its business in

wonder If you wish. but IL you do, by
my word as king, you shall swing for
it."
Villon rose to his feet and caught at
his throat as IL the grip Of the rope were
at that very moment closing about 1t.
He choked as he spoke.
In Gods name, sire, what have
done that YOU should torture me thus?"
The king snapped his answer:
You have Knocked king and maim-
ed minister. You can't get off scot
free"
Villon's bewildered thoughts forced
themselves into words. He spoke not SO
much to the king as to himself, desper-
ately trying to decide.
Heaven help me! Life squalid,
sordid, but still life. with its tavern
corners and its brute pleasures of food
and drink and warm sleep, living hands
to hold and living laughter to gladden.

of love-and then shameful DEATH"
He flung himself on the marble seat
and crouched there, shuddering.
The king patted him on the back.

Judgment"
He had taken off his black velvet cap
and ran his eye over the little row of
metal saints which encircled it as IL
he were mcditatins TO which particu-
lar patron he should recommed his
grand constable to address himself. AS
he did So Olivier lie Dain came through
the garden and moved swiftly to the

need the free air when we hold speech

AS Olivier left the royal presence a
little thing happened which meant
much to four people. Katherine came
on to the terrace with Noel lie Jolys.
She had a lutte in her hand and she
touched its chords lightly, seeking to
make an air for words as she ,dled the
time with her wooer Louis saw her,
though Nillon did not for he was hud-
died in heap on the marble seat with
his head in his hands trying to control
his wh!rling thoughts. a new demon of
mischief entered the kings heart
How he thought, "if my lady Vir-
tue, who flouted me, could be lured to
love this beggar- mann" He a1nbled
him on the shoulder. Nillon turned to
him q face drawn and white with
agony.
"One further chance. fellow" said the
king. IF the Count of Montcorbier win
the heart of Lady Katherine de Vau-
celles within the week. he shall escape
the gallows and carry his lady love
whore he pleases.
"On your word of honor sire?"
My word is my honor, Master Fran
co.'s. Wei?'
AT this very moment it pleased
heaven that Katherine, sitting on the
terrace and smiling at the alteration in
Noel lie Jolys' eyes, seemed to find the
air she sought and began to sing The
tune was quaint and plaintive, tender
as an ancient lullaby the words We're

he heard them Il new hope seemed to
come into his heart.
