HOUSE MAKES SLOW HEADWAY
Democrats Wear out Reading Clerks
and Force Fifteen Roll
Calls.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The democrats
stuck to their hlibustering program in the
house today and. even under the operation
Of the special rules the majority progress
Of appropriation bills and conference re-
ports was exceedingly slow and laborious.
The democrats forced a roll call on every
proposition and compelled the reading in
extenso OF everything presented. Every
parliamentary expedient was seized TO de-
lay matters, and at the end of a session
Of over nine hours the house, completely
worn out, at sos tonight took a recess
until noon tomorrow. There was no sign
Of the democrats abating their opposi-
ton.
The reading clerks tonight we're ex-
hausted by the days strain of trying to
make themselves heard above the cease
less din and confusion on the floor. There
we're fifteen roll calls and two calls of the
house. The feature Of the day was the
passage Of the senate omnibus public
building bill, with house amendments,
bill to over $4,000, 900. The leaders who
opposed the bill did not attempt to de-
feat It and it was passed, 20h-26. under sus-
pension of the rules.
Mr.. Mann took occasion during the de-
bate to charge "collusion" between the
architect and the contractor Of the Chi
cago public buildings.
Mr.. Gaines, during the discussion Of a
conference report. bitterly arraigned the
authorities for selling the sacred relics"
Of the White House, including. he said. a
sideboard which had been presented to Mrs.
Hayes by the women's Christian Temper
ance union, and which he declared was
now r~eposing in a Washington brewery.
Mr.. Grosvenor denied these charges, say
Ing that nothing but second hand fur
niture" had been sold.
The net result Of the days session was
the sending to conference of the naval
and fertilization appropriation bills, the
adoption Of the conference reports on the
railroad safety appliance bill and the mill
itary academy appropriation bill. the post
ONCE, the omnibus public building bill
and the bill to settle the accounts of Of
hcers during the Spanish war period and
the adoption Of the senate amendments to
two other comparatively unimportant
measures.

by reason OF the transactions he has had
with different secretaries OF the treasury,
has gained such an immense fortune, such a
control over the business organization. that

After a long discussion the bill was tenn
porarily laid aside and the conference re-
port on the District of Columbia appro-

sion. The senate also passed a bill for

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, EnectuaI aud Convenient Cure
for CataFFh.

Tor CataFFh.
Il Catarrh remedies, there is no End, but
of cataTrh cures. there has always been a
great scarcity. There are many remedies
TO relieve. but very few that really cure.
The old practice OF snufing salt water
through the nose would often relieve, and
the washes, douches, powders and lnhalers
In common use are very little, II any, better
than the old fashioned salt water douche.
The use OF inhalers and the application
of salves, washes and powders to the nose
and throat to cure catRrrh is no more
reasonable than to rub the back to cure
kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much
a blood disease as kidney trouble or
rheumatism and 1t can not be cured by
local treatment any more than they can
be.
To cure catarrh whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal a~ntiseptie
treatment is necessary to drive the catar-
rhal poison out OF the blood and system,
and the new catarrh cure is designed on
this plan and the remarkable success Of
stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is because being
used internally, Il drives out catarrhal in
fection through action upon stomach. liver
and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman of st. Joseph relates
an experience with catarrh which Is OF
value TO millions Of catarrh sufferers
everywhere. He says; II neglected a slight
nasal cataFrh until Il gradually extended
TO my throat and bronchial tubes and finally
even my stomach and liver became affected.

Some Of my friends recommended an In

else until I heard Of stuart's Catarri
Tablets and bought a package at my 6Nll
store. They benefited me from the star

They are pleasant 70 take and so mucl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The senate to-
day passed the fortihcations appropriation
bill and the house immigration bill, with
amendments. The general deficiency bill,
the last Of the appropriation measures to
be considered. was reported from the com
mittee.
The greater part Of the day was given
up to the consideration Of the Aldrich bond
deposit bill, which was debated at length,
but upon which no vote was reached.
While the bill was under consideration Mr..
Aldrich said the republican party would
undertake the reduction Of revenues at
the next session of congress, provided there
was a surplus.
The senate took a recess until II o'clock
tomorrow, when a session will be held to
deliver eulogies on deceased members Of
the house.
Money for FOrtiacations.
The fertilization bill was then consid-
cred.
Replying to questions by Mr.. Rawlins,
Mr.. Perkins said the bill made no pro-
vision for the fertilization Of the proposed
isthmian canal. No provision was made
for any Of the insular possessions.
Mr.. Rawlins spoke at some length
against the canal treaty.
Mr.. Plat Comm, who had been closely
following Mr.. Rawlins, said he regarded
It as improper to refer in open session to
any treaty under consideration by the
senate.
Mr.. Rawlins commended that he was not
speaking of anything which had not al
ready been made puollc. He declared that
by acquiring title to the land for an 18TH
milan canal, the United States secured
property which was not it's properly, but
that 1t took money out Of its treasury and
presented 1t to a private corporation.
Mr.. Frye stopped the debate by holding
that a discussion of a treaty under con-
sideration In executive session is out of
order in legislative session.
The senate at 1925 went into secret leg
islative session.
Mr.. Rawlins continued his discussion OF
the Notifications bill, paying special at
tention to the lack of provision for forth
flying the canal.
When the doors we're reopened the for
tihcations bill was passed.
Mr.. Aldrich then called up the bill to
further protect government deposits in
national banks. Mr.. Dubois Qdaho) de-
manded yeas and nays. which was ordered,

the bill. The vote dlsplaces the statehood

Oyster Controversy.

Hon. Monroe McClurg, ex-attor.
ney-general of the State, has COM
pleted the brief of the State OF Mis-
sissippi in the boundary dispute
now pending before the United
States Supreme Court over the oys-
ter fisheries in South Mississippi.
The State of Louisiana has fled q
complaint in the Supreme Court
questioning the jurisdiction of the
State of Mississippi over certain
waters of the Mississippi Sound.
The contest over these waters has
been pending for years between the
local fishermen on the coast. Gen.
McClurg had charge Of the matter
just before he went out Of office and
came back to wind up the case. The
brief was sent on, and the case will
be submitted on brief, according to
agreement. The State of Louisiana
will have twenty days in which to
answer Gen. McClurg's brief, which
demurs to the bill of Louisiana, and
sets up that there is no real bound
airy dispute between the two States,
but simply a squabble between the
local fishermen. The demurrer also
contends that the State of Missis-
sippi has jurisdiction over all, or
nearly all, of the territory in dis
pute.

took them going from him. Lying On
his back, with his shoulders on the
ground, the shooting was difficult,
but he managed to do fairly well.
When his gun was discharged all
the geese near him would yeer to
the right or to the left, but the
noise and, when ii got darker, the
firehashes had no effect on those
further to the rear. These came on
as if no gun had been fired.
There were so many of them that
all could not escape. Those which
went by him unhurt pitched upon
the salt water half mile out, and
there rested.
AS the geese were going from him
when shot, the pellets penetrated
well. Several of the birds fell in
the water, and when this happened
the dog could not be restrained, but
bulged in, making splash and lug
ging to land goose almost as big
as itself. This further worked to
alarm those in the air, but the rear
ward ranks kept on.
The geese were flying long after 1t
got too dark to see them. He and
the dog together retrieved eleven as
the result of not more than three
quarters of an hour of shooting. He
missed good many of them through
taking birds that were too high. He
is sure that not less than 5000 went
over and rested on the narrow bay.

see these old negroes handle some pen

said he kept the officers of his COM

a chicken any other way, he would go
to town and buy one.

can't solve it. The north is worse
puzzled over it than ever, and Secre-
tary Root has spoken out in meeting,

THOUSANDS OF WILD GEESE.
Great Flight of Big Birds Witnessed
by a Hunter on the Coast
of Texas.

A citizen of st. Joe, Mich, lately
returned from shooting trip to the
southwestern coast of Texas with an
idea that the wild goose is not so
smart a bird as it has been written.
His party had little trouble in killing
all of the geese they wanted-maIty
more than they could eat-and they
killed them sometimes under circum-
stances which indicated that the birds
had been feeding upon loco weed,
reports St. Joe paper.
The hunter says that a man on
horse carrying shotgun across
his saddle could nearly always ride
within gunshot of them when grazing
upon the prairie and knock down two
or more as they rose heavily and
so thickly that missing them was
impossible. He tells of one instance
in particular which shows either
that the Canada goose sometimes
does not know much, or else does not
care for anything when it is in
hurry to get home.
He found himself one afternoon,
when the sun was not more than half
an hour high, on the edge of long
arm that ran up from the sea and on
this sea arm the geese were in the
habit of roosting. He had dog with
him and had been walking along the
swampy edge of the salt water kick
ing up an occasional snipe.
Hearing honking. lie looked out
over the prairie and saw the first
flock of the geese coming in to roost.
There was no shelter anywhere near,
so he lay down fat on his back. The
dun grass matched fairly well with
his clothing and the dog, which was
Iiver-coIored. lay at his feet.
The first fight of geese passed too
high for shooting. but he could hear
others coming and in little while
all the air was vocal with the cries.
Fifteen minutes after the passage Of
the first fock the geese were going
over in steady stream and the rush
ing of theiz wings was continuous.
Some of them were high and some
lower, but as the sun sank they came
nearer to the ground and his shooting
began.
He had no means of seeing them
until they wcr. directly over him, but

that the Indications pointed to the
