GERMANY STILL HAeaLEs.
Tries Another Tack In Effort to Get
Immediate Pay.

WASHINGTON, Feb "a. - Having
failed in the effort to obtain from Mr..
Bowen the immediate payment in cash
Of the f5, 500 which it was provided in
the protocol of Feb. Is should be paid
to Germany thirty days from that date,
Germany yesterday requested Mr..
Bowen to give draft for the amount
payable In Caracas on the latter date.
This latter request was made insbehalf
of the German embassy by Herr Bal
tazzi, formerly charge d'affaires at Ca
ington and has been assisting the en-
bassy in the pending negotiations.
Mr.. Bowen was again forced to de-
cline this request, which he did polite
~, at the same time reminding Herr
Baltazzi that he was bound by the
terms Of the protocol, which provided
that the $500 should be paid at Ca
racas on the 18th day Of March to the
diplomatic representative of Germany
just what reason was given by the
German representative for making the
request Is not known. Such q draft,
however, it is presumed, would be ne
gotiable, and the result would be that
the Germans could Immediately obtain
the money it called for
Mr.. Bowen has prepared and handed
to the diplomatic representatives of the
blockading powers the drafts Of the
protocols for submission Of the ques-
ton of the determination of preferen-
tial treatment to The Hague tribunal.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency OF medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world Is being Civ
en- to the subject. It Is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. It has
been fully demonstrated that pneu
monia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, can be prevented by the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack Of influenza (grip).
and it has been observed that this rem
edy eounteracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven in many thousands
of cases in which this remedy has
been used during the great prevalence
of colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit conf
dence. Pneumonia often results
from a slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there Is fever and diff
Guilty in breathing and pains in the
chest, then it is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
1t always cures. For

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA large
crowd was attracted to the senate yes
terday, most of them visiting Daugh-
tiers Of the American Revolution.
Washington's farewell address was
read by Mr.. Dubois Of Idaho. The ON
nibus public building bill was passed,
and the postoffice appropriation bill
was considered without final action.
Mr.. Tillman spoke for nearly two
hours, principally in reply to Mr.. Spoo-
ner, on the Indianola (Miss.) postotfice
case. He said that If tho policy Of the
administration in regard to the equal
fty of the negro was carried on and
Booker Washington should be appoint
ed to the cabinet he would vote for his
confirmation. He did not conclude his
remarks.
All day there was talk of compromise
on the statehood bill. 1t was gener-
ally understood that what was known
as the Spooner compromise, being the
two state bill drawn by the Wiscon-
.sin senator, would be satisfactory to
the Republicans. The terms of this
compromise have been given heretofore
save that the provision for the state of

Arizona.
There was an earnest conference in
the senate chamber after adjournment
participated in by Senators Aldrich,
Quay, Hanna, Foraker, McComas, Bev-
eridge and Kean, when it was definite
~ decided that the proposition for a
compromise on two states should be
submitted to the Democrats. Senator
Quay presented a memorandum of the
important features OF the compromise
to Senator Bate, who will present it to
conference of Democrats today 1t is
expected that the Republican PROPOSE
ton will be, rejected and counter
proposition made. Democratic leaders
say that they cannot accept the COM
promise suggested, and the Republic
ans say that no further concessions
will be made
The house passed the general def
cheney appropriation bill, the last Of the
regular supply bills. 1t carried $751;
69S,7S1. The only amendment of i'm
portance was one appropriating $1,000

 Beveriey saw d plroSGe, 4-4 one ehu or which a dark figure swayed to the strokes of a paddle. The slender and shallow little craft was bobbing on the choppy waves and taking 8 zigzag course 8inong floating logs and masses of lighter driftwood while making slow but certain headway toward the hither bank.
 Beverley took a bit of punk and a flint and steel from his pocket, relit his pipe and stood watching the skillful boatman conduct his somewhat dan- gerous voyage diagonally against the rolling current. It was a shifting, hide and seek scene, its features appearing and disappearing with the action of the waves and the doubtful light reflected from fading clouds and sky. Now and again the man stood up in his skittish pirogue, balancing himself with care, to use short pole in showing driftwood out of his way, and more than once he looked to Beverley as if he had plunged headlong into the dark water
 Beverley stood at ease, idly and half dreamily looking on, when suddenly something caused catastrophe, which for a moment he did not comprehend. In fact, the man in the pirogue came to grief, as a man in pfrogue is very apt to do, and fairly somersaulted oyer-

RICH 6 POOR
ALI Mls!

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, ,rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseasesf afSthe skin. Doan's Ointment is. a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the; skin.

I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until procured Doan' 6 Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market. '
