Washington, February z5, 1903.
The remarkable facility with which
the republican leaders in the Senate
accomplish Their ends. regardless Of

sion Of considerable comment IL
Washington this week and grave ques.
ton as to the sincerity Of M. Quay's
spectacular devotion to the Statehood
is being raised. Wlte majority Of
the Sente favorable TO Statehood,
Senator Quay has had decided ad
vantage, ever since the beginning OF
the session Twice he has secured a
vote. not on statehood but on some
question so closely related thereto as
TO reveal the sentiment of the Senate,
and on each occasion his majority has
been demonstrated. Under these
circumstances it is evident to those
familiar with the Senate procedure
Mr. Quay could have prevented the
passage of every measure, by the Sen
ate, had he been so dispose !, until a
day had been set for vote on the
Omnibus Statehood bill. On several
occasions the Senator from PennSyl.
vania has announced that such would
be his course and as many times has
he receded from that position.

Senator Morgan, whom no influence
can tempt to abandon the path which
he believes 10 be his duty, has from the
first opposed the Panama canal and
has denounced the Colombian treaty
as drawn as a merltriclous convention

Nlcaraguan route as the better, Mr.
Morgan has assented to the Panama
route and to the Colombian treaty on
condition that it be so amended as to
avoid the evils he has pointed out
His opposition placed the republicans
in most embarrassing position and
they called a caucus and adopted a
resolution to the effect that the Senate

yesterday, "The democrats have no.
thing TO regret in so far as their action
at this session is concerned. They
accepted even the message OF a re-.

feeble protest against the encroach.
ments of monopoly. They have vot-
ed for every antitrust measure and
have earnestly worked for more ad.
equate measures. They hane stood
for St'tehood in the Senate because
they believed that the territories were
entitled to Statehood. They have not
seriously opposed the Alaskan treaty
because they desired to afford the
Administration an opportunity of set
Ting the Alaskan boundary dispute if
possible. They did not contest the
passage of the Philippine Coinage bill,
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t was
not the remedy which appealed to
their views, because it seemed the on

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulSioniSth Sthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypoPhos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

London. Nov 3--M. Tzokoff, the
new Bulgarian diplomatic agent. who
has just arrived here, regards war be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria as being
practically inevitable in the coming
spring. In an outspoken interview he
declares there is not the slightest real
Improvement in the situation in Mace
donia. that the Austrian-Russian re-
form scheme is futile and that in con
sequence of the treatment of Bull
gafians in Macedonia and the strain
on the principality's resources arising
from the necessity Of supporting l60,-
600 refugees Bulgaria viii be forced
to have recourse to war.
The Bulgarian agent further de-
clarcs that trade with Bulgaria has
absolutely ceased and adds that the
European banks have stopped the
credit OF the Bulgarian banks. which
in turn have stopped the credit Of the
Bulgarian people.
This economic crisis the agent
continues, will be huadredfold
worse next year and in itself must
provoke war. All Bulgarans agree
that it is better to have few weeks
war with Turkey. after which normal
relations will be resumed, than a pro-
longation of the present strain on Bull
garia's resources.
