Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1903-03-28

BY n vote of sc to 16 the Senate
Thursday afternoon ratified the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, after making further
amendments, and adjourned sine die.
Twenty-four Senators had already left
for their homes. \ long debate preceded
the voting. Senator Foster of Louisiana
made speech in opposition and spoke
for two hours and half. He asserted
that the effect of the proposed reduction
on Cuban sugar would be to enhance the
profits Of the manufacturers, and that
the consumers would not be benefited in
the least. Senator Berry also made a
long speech, his opposition being to The
committee amendment which provided
that there should be no further reduction
or change in the Dingley schedules for
five years, thus shutting out All oppor-
tunity of reciprocity with other sugar
producing countries. He said the Unit
ed States could not afford to take this
position.
The Senate began to vote on amend
ments at 3 o'clock. The amendment pro-
viding that the treaty should not go into
effect until n joint resolution should be
adopted by both houses of Congress was
carried by vote of a. yeas to p nays.
In addition the committee put in pro-
viso that the reduction of duty upon
Cuban sugar should not be greater than
20 per cent of the present duty, and that
during the life Of the Cuban treaty the
duty on sugar coming from other coun-
tries should not be reduced by treaty or
convention. Cattle were transferred
from the class to enjoy 20 per cent re-
duction of the Cuban rates to 40 per cent,
and wheat and corn flour were put i'll to
enjoy a 40 per cent reduction Cotton
and manufactures thereof were trans
ferred from the % to 30 per cent reduc-
ton schedule.
A number of other amendments We're
offered, including annexation and inlmi-
grafton provisions, one being drawn to
require the Cuban government to adopt
our immigration laws to exclude contract
and cheap coolie labor. Some of these
amendments were withdrawn to facili-
tate adjournment and others We're not
forced to q roll call.
When all the work before the Senate
had been cleared up Senator German
moved that all the speeches which had
been made in secret session on the Co
lombian treaty be made public and be
printed in the Congressional Record. This
motion was opposed by Senator Hanna.
Senators Foraker Fairbanks and De-
pew, who are very proud Of the speeches
they made on this subject, favored Sen
ator Gorman's motion. Senator Hanna
said that he would have no objection to
having the speeches made public after
the treaty had been acted on by the CO.
lombian Congress.
The last business was the report of q
message from the President responding
to the resolution offered by Senator Nor
gan asking the President to inform tho
Senate how many soldiers, how large a
naval force and how much money would
be needed to defend the canal at Pan
ANA. The President replied that the
time was too short for the War and
Navy Departments to supply the Senate
with the information before adjournment.

What VIII the Ants Do Now7

The Secretary Of War has received an
opinion from the Attorney General in re-
gard to the case of Capt. Cornelius NJ.
Brownell, of the 1st VT Vols, to the effect
that that officer is no longer amenable
to either civil or military Jurisdiction for
his conduct in the Philippines during the
recent instruction.
1t was charged that Capt. Brownell and
other officers of his regiment, all of whom
were mustered out of the service over two
years ago, were responsible for the death
OF Father Augustin, in their alleged efforts
to extort information from him by the
water cure and other fortunes. The case
has recently been the subject of thor
Ough investigation by the officers Of the
War Department. AS he had left the
army, it was concluded by the Judge
Acknowledgement that he was beyond the
jurisdiction of the military authorities. In
order, however, that he might not go I'M
punished for any offense he might have
committed while in the army, the matter
was referred to the Attorney General with
view to his prosecution by the civil au-
thorities if it should be found that there
was legal warrant for such procedure.
The AttorneyGeneral has decided that
there is no legal way to reach Capt.
BrOwnell for the alleged Offense, and
Congress will be so informed by the Sec
rotary of War.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I have
just read with much interest your article
entitled "a S12-a-Month Pension" I am
one of the Examining Surgeons of which
YOU speak. Yet l almost fully concur in
all you have said. Indeed, l would even
go farther: l would give every soldier who
served his country for 80 days or more
during the war, a pension of $40 month,
and when GO years of age l would increase
it to $12 a month, without any medical
examination. do not propose at this time
to find fault with the management of the
Pension Department, but l would hail
with delight an amendment to the pension
law that would pension the soldier as
have already suggested, and in addition
to that have all soldiers placed under one
general pension law, without regard to
whether their disabilities were incurred in
the service or since. Nothing short of this
will bring equity between the soldiers.
Many noble young men enlisted in the
service, intending to do their whole duty
nations could not bear up under the hard
ships incident to the soldiers life, and they
became i'll and had to be taken to hos
pital. Here, perhaps, they recovered suff-
GENTLY to rejoin their company, but the
same conditions that caused them to fail
before do so again, and after few
months they are DISCHARGED, as unable for

in time they apply for pension; it is
granted; after another period they apply
for an increase, and it is granted. Theso
soldiers today are receiving $40, So, $14,
SIT, $24, $50, $50, or $72 per month PEN
sion, and we are glad of it, because it is
right. But take his companion, who went
out at the same time, under similar con-
ditions, and with the same noble pur-
poses. He is SO fortunate as to be prac-
tically well during the whole period of his
service. He does good service for his
Government 365 days in the year, for
from one to four years. He is discharged,
comes home, and for 20 OF more years,
he is able to care for himself; but now
misfortune comes in the way of i'll health,
or injury, that may totally disable him.
He applies to his Government for a PEN
sion, but is met with the reply, "You did
not incur your disability in the service;
We are very sorry for you, and we rec
Ognize The fact that you gave three long
years of service to your country, and the
fact that you now are totally disabled,
yet the best we can do for you is $12
MONTH" Now, is this right? l saw No;
it is all wrong. Let US have the law SO
amended as to place both under the same
general pension law. Anything short Of
this will not give justice, and we can see
no reason why the Government is not as
rightfully bound to aid the one equally
with the other. Yours.-JUsTICE, New-
castle, Ind.

Citizenship for Women.

Every once in while there comes up
the question whethert q: woman who was
denationalized by marriage with foreign
er has to come back and be rationale
ed' as a foreigner would, Senator Hoar
provides for cases of this kind in the fol
lowing bill, which pr0Nides that any wo-
man, being q years of age and over and
being bona fide resilient of the United
States, whose American citizenship has
been lost or suspended by marriage with
a foreigner may be permitted to resume
and not otherwise: Shsf shall declare on
oath, before Circuit or District Court of
the United States. or, q. District or Su-
preme Court Of the Territories, or a court
OF records Of any of the states having COM
mon law jurisdiction and, q seal and clerk.
that it is bona fide her intention to re-
sumo such citizenship, and to renounce
forever all allegiance and fidelity to any
foreign prince, pOtentate, State or sover-
eighty, and particularly, by name, to the
prince, potentate, State, or sovereignty of
which she may be at the time a citizen or
subject, and that she will support the Con-
stitutiOn Gf the United States; which pro-
ceedinSs shall be recorded by the Clerk of
the Court; that it shall be made to appear
to the satisfaction of the court admitting
such women that she has resided within
the State or Territory where such court
is ut the time held, one year at least, and
that during that time she has behaved as
a woman OF good moral character, at
tached to the principles of the Constitution
OF the United States, and well disposed to
the good order and happiness of the same:
that the court shall thereup0n permit such
woman to resume her citizenship a. af0r-
said, and TO receive certificate therefor"

Noiseless and smokeless Guns.

An apparatus has lately been invented
to suppress sound, smoke and fire in guns.
1t consists essentially of steel tube made
in compartments closed by partitions, these
partitions having orifces somewhat larger
than the caliber of the firearm. This tube
is fixed in front of the muzzle of the gun
by a bayonet clasp at the moment of fir
ing. At other times it Is detached and
carried as walking-stick. 1t operates as
follows: While the projectile is engaged
in the piece the gases from the powder
spread in front of the muzzle and are ar
rested by the first partition. As the pro-
jectile passes along the bore the gas is
arrested in the same way and when the
bullet leaves the piece there is so little gas
remaining that there is no flame produced
by its combustion. The gases, momen-
tarily stopped by the partitions, escape
successfully and quietly without sound or
smoke. The auxiliary tube weighs 700
grams, is 20 centimetres in length and can
be armed with knife at the end SO as to
serve as bayonet.

VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form OF
Indigestion.

Very few people are free from some
form OF indigestion, but scarcely two will
have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eating
bloating from gas in stomach and bowels
others have heartburn or sour risings, Still
others have palpitation of heart, head.
aches, sleeplessness, pains in chest and I'M
der shoulder blades, some have extreme
nervousness, as in nervous dyspepsia.
But whatev"r the symptoms may be, the
cause in all cases of Indigestion is the
same, that is, the stomach for some rea.
son fails to properly and promptly digest
what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach trou.
bles in a nutshell. The stomach must
have rest and assistance and Stuart's Dys.
pepsia Tablets give it both by supplying
those natural digestives which every weak
stomach lacks, owing to the failure of the
peptic glands in the stomach to secrete
sufficient acid and pepsin to thoroughly
digest and assimilate the food eaten.
One grain of the active principle in
1000 grains of meat, eggs or other whole
some food, and this claim has been proven
by actual experiment, which anyone can
perform for himself in the following man.
ner: Cut hard boiled egg into very
small pieces, as it would be is masticated;
place the egg and two or three of the
tablets in a bottle or jar containing warm
water heated to SO degrees 1.-THE temporal
ture of the body and keep it at this tenn
perature for three and one-half hours, at
the end of which time the egg will be as
completely digested as it would have been
in the healthy stomach Of hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
to the egg in the bottle it will do to the
egg or meat In the stomach and nothing
else will rest and invigOrate the stOm-
ach Sc safely and effectually. Even a lit
tie child can take Stuart's Tablets with
safety and benefit if its digestion is weak
and the thousands of cures accomplished
by their regular daily use are easily ex-
planned when it is understood that they
are composed of vegetable essences, aseptic,
pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which
mingle with the food and digest it thor
oughly, giving the overworked stomach a
chance to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither
do pills and cathartic medicines, which
simply irritate and inflame the intestines.
When enough food is eaten and prompt
ly digested there will be no constipation,
nor in fact will there be disease of any
kind because good digestion means good
health in every organ.
The merit and success Of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets are worldwide and they
are sold ut the moderate price Of 80 cents
for full sized package In every drug store
in the United States and Canada. a. well
a. in Europe.

service pension, for one will respond.
Now, nearly 40 years since the end of that
memorable struggle, it is said that some
100000 of these old soldiers do not yet
get any pension, while others receive q
small stipend of So and 50 PEI month.
With a plethoric Treasury. the country
prosperous as never before and at peace
with all the world, the time Cor the enact
ment of service pension law is certainly
propitious. Let those who have Jared
fairly well in the way of pension write
their voices with those of their less fortu-
nate comrades; to be happy is to make
others happy. Then, let US line up, Shout
der to shoulder, in this last charge as We
did on fields of carnage; let our spokes-
men ask for graded service pension.
That this has not been done is the subject
of much comment among the veterans"

One Of the Oldest Pensioners.
buffalo Commercially

Among the very Oldest pensioners in
point of years who are paid from the Buff
falo agency is Mrs. Sarah Andrews, of Sill
yer Springs, N. Y, who celebrated her
Tooth birthday on Nov % last. Mrs. An
drews is the grandmother of Mrs. Charles
II. Walker, proprietor of the Walker
House of that place, and was the mother
of Private Benjamin r. w. Andrews, of
Co. D, 154th N. Y, who died in the army
during the civil war. He was her sole
support, and it is because of his death
that she draws a pension of $12 month.
Mrs. Andrews at her advanced age is
possessed of all her faculties to a re-
markable degree. She is bright and act
i've and retains, to a degree that is Won
,derful, her memory of the many momen-
tOus events that have occurred during her
century of life. She signs her pension pa
pers in a legible hand, and does other
things that stamp her as beng a remarka-
BILE woman for her age.
She has lived in the lifetime of all the
25 Presidents of the United States ex-
cepting that of George Washington, who
died Dec. IA, 1888, three years before
she was born.

spain's Old Guns.

Secretary Root has been visited by
Senior Oje6a, the Spanish Minister, who
submitted in behalf of his Government the
proposition to sell to the Government of
Cuba considerable amount Of ordnance
now in position in the Cuban fortresses.
By the treaty of peace movable artillery
was to remain in the possession of Spain,
to be renewed at the pleasure Of that Gov
eminent. A large quantity of field artil-
lery was so removed. The Spanish claim
is that the guns mounted in fortresses
belong in the same category of NOV
ables, on the ground that having been
transported in one piece from Spain on
shipbOard they cannot be regarded as i'm
movables.
When the United States turned over the
Government of Cuba to its people it allow
ed all this artillery to remain in place.
Now the Spanish Government wants to be
paid for it. Secretary Root will advise
