GENERAL STAFF BILL IN HOUSE
ATTEMPT TO PASS IT FAILS OW-
ING TO ABSENCE OF A
QUORUM.


Washington, Jan. 6.-When the SEN
ate reconvened yesterday after the
holiday recess, few senators were alb
sent. Almost Immediately a discus
sion began regarding the coal situa-
ton. Mr.. Lodge %prefaced his introduce
ton of a bill ~suspending for ninety
days the duty on coal with the state
ment that in New England there was
much distress owing to the scarcity OF
coal, and that unless relief was az
forded at once a number Of factories
would have to shut down. He was
aware, he said, that a bill should orig
mate in the house of representatives,
but it was his desire to call h atten-
ton Of the finarce committee to the
state Of affairs. Mr.. C~ulberson fol-
lowed with a resolution providing for
the removal OF the duty on anthracite
coal and asked its immediate consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Plat nf Connecticut OBJ
iected, saying il was his understand
ing that there was TO duty on anthra-
cite coal. Mr.. Vest took exception to
this statement and said that the board
of general appraisers and President
Roosevelt had decided that such a
duty is imposed. MIR. Vest also intro
duced a resolution on the subject.
Another resolution bearing on the sub
ject, introduced by Mr.. Jones OF Ar
kansas, recited the charge OF w. X.
Hearst that there was an illegal COM
binatiOn among certain railroads to
control the shipment Of anthracite
coal, and called On the attorney gen
eral for the evidence which it was al
legged had been secured by him. 1t
caused a lively debate, in which sew
eral Republican senators vigorously
resented what they thought was a re-
Election on the attorney general. The
discussion continued until 2 o'clock,
when the resolution went over. being
displaced by the omnibus statehood
bill. MI. Nelson OF Minnesota ad-
dressed the senate in opposition to the
bill and favored single statehood for
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. At 4
O'Clock the senate adjourned.

The house resumed work Yesterday
after a recess of two weeks, but within
two hours the machinery broke down

it under suspension of the rules, which
requires a two-thirds majority. AL

Of the hurried manner in which it

house followed but the roll call showed
about 80 less than a quorum and the

UNCOVER A CONSPIRACY.
Prosecution Of Chicago Coal Men Is
Demanded.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-After a conference
yesterday afternoon eight members of
the Illinois Manufacturers association,
constituting an executive committee,
resolved to call upon the federal au-
thorities to investigate the causes of
the coal fomine. The resolution adopt
ed contains the statement that evil
dence supporting the charges Of I'M
lawful actions on the part of the rail
roads and coal dealers would be given
by the association. Positive proof OF
the existence of a conspiracy among
the coal operators of Illinois, the Chi
cage wholesalers and the railroad COM
panies is said to be in the possession
Of this association. Members Of the
directorate assert that u~ndeniable
proof of the existence Of the conspira-
cy to obtain exorbitant prices for coal,
when actual conditions do not warrant
it, has been secured, and that criminal
prosecutions of the conspirators will
be demanded.

sides of the conons have been blasted
away by the government agents. This
action aroused the sheepmen to a

principal industries OF the state is
about to be completely destroyed. All

About Cubans and Music.

IF there's any truth in what Shakes
peare says about the nan who has no
music in his SOUL" said Lieutenant
George Culver, who has seen service
In Cuba, both in the army and out,
the Cubans will always be fit for
%treasons, strategems and spoils.' They
have less Of what one might call in
diginous music than any other peo-
pie l have ever seen. The Spaniards
are essentially musical. So are the
Mexicans. In Mexico one hears not
only Spanish music, but 'greaser'
songs, in which the Indian ~weirdness
comes out strong.
But over in Cuba everything IL
borrowed. The native Cuban sings
less than the average American when
he works. He doesn't begin to sing as
much as the Southern negro does.
He does not seem to originate melo-
dies. His dance music. even, is not
his own. The genius OF the Cuban
does not lean toward concord Of
sweet sounds, and hat lack in him
may account for the great difference
between the Cuban and the Mexican
character"

The readers OF this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and hat is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
t!onal disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur.
faces Of the system. thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution ana
assisting nature in doing its work. The pro-

powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
