desired to make he had prepared his speech
in advance. He read deliberately, but in
firm voice, often depressing so to en-

expiration of his allotted time, whereupon
Sens tor Cullom. chairman of the commit

also read his speech from manuscript, pre-

the treatry and for constructing the canal.
Senator Cullom occupied only about
three-fourths of the hour allotted to him

ate. The vote resulted in the ratification
OF the treaty by 70 to 5. The result was
no surprise, for all had predicted that
when the offered amendments had been
disposed of the treaty would be approved
by an overwhelming majority. Such proved
to be the case. Indeed, the roll call had
proceeded for some time before single

Senator Daniel was joined by his colleague,
Senator Martin, and after them came the

Pension Law Construed.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Interior
Department has decided that the bar to
allowance of pension to soldiers who Served
in the Union army during the civil war
and who had previously served in the Con-
federate army is removed by Section / of
the joint resolution of July /, 1902. relating
to the pensionable status of such soldiers.
and it Is held to be unnecessary for such
claimants to file a new application for PEN
sion subsequent to July 1, 1902.
The applications of these veterans filed
previously to that date, 1t is said, give them
a legal status as pension claimants. The
decision was the last one signed by Assist
ant Secretary Campbell before reinquishing
the Office of assistant secretary. The de-
partment holds that claimants who had
been pensioned and afterward dropped
from the rolls because of such service are
entitled to restoration, and that those who
had claims pending which were rejected un-
der a departmental decision in 1894 are en-
titled to have their claims adjudicated on
their merits. Notwithstanding previous Con-
federate service.

Italy Turns the Tables.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE italian
government has turned the tables on the
Treasury Department here, somewhat to
the annoyance of a number of American
citizens. For some time past the health
authorities at New York particularly have
been excluding all immigrants who show
the least sign of eye trouble that might be
contagious. They held ''trachoma," which
is species or granulated eyelids very
common in southern countries, to be con-
tagious, and excluded very many immi-,
grants, especially Italians, who applied for
admission. There was broad difference of
opinion on this matter between the Italian
officers and our own but the Italians YIELD
ed. Notice now has been received that
the Italian government has prevented
number of naturalized American citizens
who have been visiting in Italy from TAX
ing ship to return to America, its medical
officers having discovered a few cases of
"trachoma" among those tourists The
Italian officials take the position that IL
the disease is really contagious, as certi-
fled by the United States officials. they
cannot risk the spread of the contagion to
the .other passengers on the ship. The
matter has been reported to Washington
and lively correspondence is in progress
between the two governments.

A great many women suffer with

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there
is o kind Of dyspepsia that is caused

fourth old man who has been struck
