Important Concession Granted to

Pittsburg, Feb. 12.-An important
feature in the interstate mining agree
ment is officially announced here by
District President Dolan. 1t provides
for the payment in advance of wages
to union men only, and on April l,
when it takes effect miners who are
not members of the united mine work

VENEZUELA.

The British protocol providing for
raising the blockade Of Venezuela was
shown to Bowen, and suited him.
A secret agreement is said to have
been made by Germany and Italy
whereby Germany promised to secure
for Italy the same treatment il Vene-
zuelan claims as is accorded Great
Britain.
President Roosevelt refused to act as
arbitrator Of the differences between
the allies and Venezuela, and it now
looks as if the matter Of preferential
treatment would be referred to The
Hague, though Ambassador Herbert's
laundering has so tangled things up
that the outcome cannot be predicted

Washington, Feb. 10.-The house
today adopted the conference report
On the department commerce bill by a
vote Of 251 to 10. Mr.. Littlefield and
nine democrats voted against this &C.
ton. The remainder of the day was
devoted to sundry civil appropriation
Oils. Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the

that at the proper time he would
move two amendments, one to provide
for the purchase of a site, and the
erection of three-story 4OO-room of

connected with the capitol by a sub
way and to cost $3,80O,0OO and another
appropriation of $2,5OO,OOO to carry out
the original plans for beautifyine and
charging the main wing of the capitol,
A notable feature of the general de-
bate on the bill was a speech by Mr..
Dearmond (Missour), on the Hanna
Dill to pension ex-slaves. He spoke in
a sarcastic vein. The statehood bill
again came up in the senate and Sen
ator Morgan Of Alabama spoke on if
Tor some time. In the course of his
remarks he referred to the bills re-
gard1ng trusts which he said had been
Kept back and will be kept back until
1t is too late for discussion regarding
them. He presented the conference
report on the department of commerce
bill, the final vote on it being deferred
IN order that it might be printed. The
conference report on the general staff

He ordered up a schooner.

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington. Feb. 5.-The mormon
question was interjected into the de-
bate on the statehood bill in the SEN
ate today as a resul of Senator Nc
Comas, Criticism that the pending
bill was too liberal. Senator Morgan
introduced a bill providing that no
treaty with Colombia Nicaragua or
Costa Rico shall be held to altar or
modify the act Of June %, 1902, re-
garding the Panama canal bill. Sena-
tor Morgan also introduced a resOlu-
ton asking the secretary of the navy
to supply the senate with copies or
any correspondence that may have
occurred between the naval forces Of
the United States and persons on
shore in Colombia during the recent
stay of the American vessels in Col
ombian waters. Morgan's purpose is
to ascertain whether there is any
truth in the report that the American
naval officers made an offer of $3,OOO,-
900 to the revolutionists to desist. The
antitrust bill debate, which opened
in the house, did not develop much
animation, although there was fair
ly large attendance in the galleries.
The death of Mr. Moody of North
Carolina was announced at the close
of the session and out of respect to
his memory the house adjourned.
Washington, Feb. 6.-For time
today in the senate it looked as if
the question of the construction Of
the isthmian canal would be finished
in open discussion. Senator Morgan
spoke on his resolution introduced the
day before, calling on the secretary Of
the navy for correspondence regard
ing the military occupation of the bays
of Panama and Colon. He had not
proceeded far, however, when Sena-
tor Cullom, who had been following
him closely, interrupted with a mo-
ton for an executive session, which
Senator Morgan resisted. The chair
overruled Senator Morgan's objections
and the doors closed. Senator Nor
gan continued his remarks in execu-
tive session and alleged the $1,00O,000
which the United States paid to Col
ombia would go to the insurgents
who made peace last year. When the
open session resumed Senator Morgan
predicted that if the United States
continued it's policy with reference to
the construction of the Isthmian canal
a war with Columbia was inevitable
A general debate on the antitrust
bill occurred in the house. More in
terest was aroused as it proceeded
and the closing speeches by Messrs,
De Almond (dem., MOI, and Little
field (rep., Maine), were delivered to
crowded galleries and to a very full
on the floor. Other speak
ers were Messrs. Laurence (rep.,
Mass.), Parker (rep., N. j., Terrell,
(rep., Mass, jenkins (rep., Wis.,,
Douglas (rep,, N. y: Henry (dem.,
Tex.), Fleming (dem., Ca, Mcclellan

Washington, Feb. 9.-In the senate
today Senator Carmack spoke on the
Rawlins resolution calling for the
records of courtsmartial of officers
serving i'll the Philippines. He urged
that murders in the Philippines by
American soldiers had become so COM
mon that they would not bear investi-
cation and that this answer was en-
tirely satisfactory ito our noble, gen
erous and humane secretary of war"
He also criticised the president. Sen
ator Kean spoke on the statehood
bill for short time when he yielded
to various senators who INDUCED in
a debate over the question of the in
reference of the Mormon church in
politics. Senator Elkins also spoke
at length in defense of the claims Of
New Mexico to statehood. The house
spent practically the entire day upon
two District of Columbia bills, one to
authorize the government to advance
$6,000,000 to the district, and the other
the conference report on the union
statehood bill The former was de-
feated and the latter sent back to con-
ference. Representative Aplin of
Michigan introduced a bill granting
of $12 month to all soldiers
and sailors who served at least one
year in the civil war. The house
committee on ways and means IA
vorably reported the bill providing
that all registered brood animals be
admitted duty free whether they are
to be retained as the property of the
or brought in to- be sold.

Through the mothers influence
they may become a blessing to
her and the world or a curse to

not made physical laws that we
must obey? When we remember
that so many of these innocent

form themselves by tight lacing,
and sacrifice their health to false
ideas of beauty. Hair dye and

in all these departments has sent

If it is important to know how
to get we'll, is it not more i'm

This knowledge is indeed the
true guide to health, wealth and
happiness. Doctors are not EN-
ployed to tell us how to keep well,
that is our mission. Every
family should have the book,

family can afford to pass it by.

puts a good book into family,

sickness, pain, suffering ant
even death itself how nobly will
the author feel repayed.
