SENATE AFTERNOON SESSION.
A General Road Law Under Consid-
 eratiou,

er6C1Ou.
 The Senate reconvened at o'clock, Lieutenant Governor Cunningham presid- ing, and nineteen members present.
 The general road bill was called up. The matter had been considered before the dinner recess. There were no objections to the general purposes of\ the bill, but a number of minor amendments were submitted. To save time the matter was informally passed.
 During the dinner recess the Senators wishing to amend conferred and drew up a set of amendments which were in the main satisfactory.
 To one amendment. however, there was an objection. It was offered by Senator Spragins of Madison, and provided that the general road law should by a unani- nous vote of the Court of County Com missioners, repeal all local laws govern ing roads.
 Strenuous objection was entered by Sen ators Acree of Dale, and Johnston of Tuscaloosa. They took the position that they had enacted laws to suit conditions in their counties, and did not wish the general law to override these laws.
 But the Court of County Commission CTS has to vote unanimously to make this law effective" said MT. spragins.
 "Yes." said Mir. Acrec, but under my bill they haven't got vote coming to them.''
 Senator Spragins explained that the amendment provided that if the Court of County Commissioners see anything In the general bill which Is more advant- ageous than the local law. they may add this to their local road law. but need not adopt any of the general law if the local law is satisfactory.
 All objection was withdrawn and the bill as amended was passed. General Health Fill. The general health bill caused consid- erable debate. The bill provides for coun- ty health officers with salaries and other minor changes in the health regulations of the State.
 Senator Hogue of Perry. said he did not think that the counties should be compelled to pay a physician unless the Court of County Commissioners elected to do so. He moved to strike out the sec tion referred to.
 After lengthy debate between Sena- tors Hogue, Harrison, Powell and Rogers, the amendment was adopted. More amendments followed. The Senate saw that the bill was a time killer and in order to get to other bills, informally passed the measure until Saturday. Several minor bills were passed and the Senate recessed until 8 o'clock.

 The House refused to table the Simpson amendment, or substitute, 46 to 45.
 MT. Lusk then moved the indefinite postponement of the Simpson amendment. The substitute differed from his amend ment in that 1t did not name a time in which the examinations were to be held This left the examinations In the hands of the Treasurer who shall order the ex- aminations.
 A message from the Senate informing the House that it had receded from its position on the solicitor amendment was received. The report of the Conference Committee was then adopted by the House. This action by the House was equivalent to the final passage of the gen. eral election bill.
 The Senate resolution providing for an adjournment until Saturday was taken up. MT. Lyons moved concurrence in the resolution. The Senate resolution was adopted
 The hour for recess arrived before the banking bill was disposed of.

CABLE LANDING
AT MANILA

MANILA, March 27.-Secretary Roc
! has granted permission to the Pacific
Commercial Gable Company to land it:
! line on the Military reserve near For
San Antonio Abad. and the construc-
ton of the cable station at that place
will commence at once. Under this
arrangement with the government the
cable gets a revocable license to use
the land. This decision in the matter
ends a hitch which has existed for
several weeks past and which pre-
vented the commencement of work on
the receiving station. 1t was thought
originally that the land belonged to
either the municipal or insular gov
eminent, and the Gable Company ap-
piled through its counsel. Pillsbury,
Sutro, and Lawrence for permission to
purchase a small plot of ground for it's
purposes.
When a survey preparatory to
Strengthening out the question of title
was made it developed that the land
was within the military reservation
that surrounds Fort San Antonio. 1t
is the intention of the government to
at some time locate a heavy battery
at the fort as one of the new defenses
of the city, and objection was made
to the location of any kind of building
upon the site.
The Cable Company had but limited
time 10 prepare a station for the cable
which it is now planning in the Pacific
Ocean, and it was decided after con-
siderable negotiation to lay the whole
question before the War Department.
To that end Governor Taft and Gener-
al Davis sent a joint cablegram of ex-
to Secretary Root A dis
patch received from Mr.. Root this
morning authorizes the issue of a re-.
Focable license to the cable company. |
1t was stated this morning by the |
of the Gable Company /
hat a contract for the cable house
would be let at once.

AGAINST THE TIDE.

Rowing against the tide is
hard work, even when the boat
is light and the rover strong.
Every stroke takes away a little
strength. The lungs work hard
to keep the blood supplied with
oxygen. Objects on the shore
seem 70 move past with dis
heartening slOwness. Arms and
back ache, and courage fails.
The sick person, with a slug
gish liver, bad blood and worse
digestion, is like a man pulling
against the tide. His struggle
to keep alive is heartbreaking.
His emerciless mirror shows a
pale, haggard face, with sunken
cheeks and eyes, either dull or
shining with the brightness so
often noticed in consumptives.
He needs treatment but no last
ing benefit may be expected
from that which is oyergrown
with the moss of tradition. The
effective and reliable cure is
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
of the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. 1t is palatable as
honey, and as a remedy for
wasting diseases it stands in the
front rank in the march of
medicine. 1t stimulates the slug
gish organs of secretion, purifes
the blood, promotes digestion,
revives a natural appetite and
builds up the whole system.
Sufferers from Nervous Debility,
La Grippe, Bowel Complaints,
Throat and Lung Troubles, etc.,
testify to it's transcendent value.
