Danger of Colds and Grip,

The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain Cough Remedy
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for these
diseases we have yet to learn of a
single case having resulted in pneu-
monia, which shows conclusively that
it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous disease. 1t will cure cold
or an attack of the grip in less time
than any other treatment. Ii is pleas

Christian Temperance Union.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 1S.--The thirtieth
annual convention of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union began session
of six days here today with a very large
attendance, the five hundred delegates con-
shutting only a small part of the visitors.
Mrs. Lillian Stevenson. of Portland,
Me-, in delivering the presidents annual
address said:
THE w. c. T. u. is today, and if true
to its heritage will ever be arrayed
against all forms of impurity and legal
lied vice. We painfully recognize that
there are some evils that cannot be ami
hilated in this day and generation, but
we evermore declare that these evils if
they exist shall do so in opposition to
law rather than by sanction of law.
1.-The question rs liquir drinking among
women increasing?' is hard to answer. We
surely hear more about drinking women
than formerly, perhaps from the fact that
the drinking habit attracts more atten-
ton than if did in the days when early
every one used liquor in one form or an
other"
At the afternoon session reports of off
GERS were heard.

The order has grown to such proper
tions that the honor of having been its
founder has become matter of dispute.
The claim of Mrs. M. C. Goodlet, of NASH
vile, Tenn, as founder, was TODAY ques-
toned by the Georgia delegation who
claimed the honor for Mrs. Raines, of that
State. The matter was long discussed
but left undecided.
The morning session was devoted al
most exclusively to hearing reports from
the presidents of the various State divis
ions. Ten minutes were given to each
report Alabama, Arkansas. California,
the District of Columbia, Georgia, LOUIS

from in turn, and the reports were most
encouraging. including the erection of
stones and monuments to the dead. OF
homes for veterans and their widows and

(By the Associated Press.

Valdosta, Ga, Nov. 13-There is a

THE CHICAGO STRIKE
The Outlook for a Settle ment
by Arbitration Seems
Very Good.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Nov. 13.-Twenty five cars run
on the Wentworth Avenue line without
damages to the cars or injury to the non
union employees operating them, was what
the Chicago City Railway Company was
able to accomplish today with the assist
ance of the police department. The cars
were run.at thre>dfferent times, five leav-
ing the 18th street barn at $40 a. m.,; ten
leaving at 1O:40 and ten at $40. In the
first two runs the round trip was made
in about three hours; in the third in
about one and one half hours.
Crowds on the streets jeered and boot
ed the police and the non-union men al
most without intermission.
At nightfall the officials of the car com
pany announced that cars would be run
tomorrow on the Wentworth Avenue line
at the same hours as today and that at
tempts would be made to operate other
lines, which, however, were not specified.
Shortly after this decision was announc-
ed the situation was complicated for the
company by a sudden strike of the fire
men employed in all six power houses
owned by the company. The firemen's
union made an agreement two days ago
with the company, which was to last for
year. There was clause in the contract
which gave the firemen the discretion to
go on a sympathetic strike if the COM
pany declined to arbitrate with the en-
ployes now on strike. The company ex-
planned its attitude on arbitration and
said it had always been willing to arbi-
trate the question of wages.
The firemen then signed the contract
which was repudiated this evening. The
officials of the firemen's union declared
that they had ordered the strike because
the company had declined their offer to
mediate between the company and the
employees now Cd strike.
The calling out of the firemen involves
oilers. water tenders, coal passers, ash
handlers and coal supply men, $50 in all
The real danger in this last strike lies in
the attitude of the teamsters. They may
decline to deliver coal to the company if
non-union firemen are employed, and the
company has but three days supply on
hand
During the afternoon members of the
State Board of Arbitration called on Man
ager McCulloch. and on the latter's sug
gestion went into conference with E. r.
Bliss, counsel for the company with the
hope of arranging settlement between
the strikers and the officials. Nothing
definite was accomplished, but another
meeting has been arranged for tomorrow
One of the arbitration board said that
the indications were that the management
of the company would agree to arbitrate
all the demands of the men with the ex-
ception of recognition of the union.

BY FORCE If NEED BE.
What Roosevelt Wrote With Regard to TAX.
ing Possession Of the canal.
(By the Associated Press.)

10y the Associated fIeSS.J
Washington, Nov. IA For several
weeks President Roosevelt has had in
preparation his annual message to the
Congress to be presented at the opening
of the regular session on the first Monday
of December. That part of the message in
which the President discussed the negotia-
tions between the United States and the
government of Colombia for an isthmian
canal treaty it is stated, was completed
two weeks ago. Events which have oc-
Cured on the isthmus and in this country
since that time have made it necessary for
the President completely to rewrite that
part of the message touching the canal
negotiations.
In his discussion of the canal question
the President wrote:
High authorities on international law
hold that the canal can be dug as an in
cident to exercising the power to pre-
vent the obstruction of traffic across the
isthmus Nevertheless, in accordance with
our settled policy of behaving with scru-
pulous fairness and generosity towards
our weaker sister republics of the South,
taking no position that can even by i'm
plcation be treated as unfriendly, unless
literally forced thereto, we have endeavor-
ed to provide for the building of the
canal by treaty.
This nation does not desire to be I'M
reasonable or impatient; but it cannot and
will not permit any body of men perma-
nently to obstruct one of the great world
highways of traffic and refusal to permit
the building of the canal amounts to such
obstruction. OF course, to insist upon
unreasonable terms is equivalent to re-
fusal.
cit seems evident that in matter such
as this we should finally decide which is
the best route; and if the advantages of
this route over any other possible route
are sufficiently marked we should then
give notice that we can no longer submit
To tritling or insincere dealing on the
part of those whom the accident of posi-
ton has placed in temporary control of
the ground through which the route must
pass; that if they will come to agreement
with US in straightforward fashion we
shall in return act not only with justice,
but with generosity, and that if they fail
TO come to such agreement with us, we
must forthwith take the matter into our
own hands"

On the Bill Making the Treaty With
Cuba.
(By the Associated Press)

10y lne Associated 1TeSS.)
Washington, Nov. 13.-The House Com
mittee on Ways and Means today au-
thorized a favorable report on the bill
making effective the Cuban reciprocity
treaty, by vote of IA to 2. Mr.. Metcalf
(Rep., California;, was present but did
not vote, and Messrs. Robertson Oem.
louisiana, and Cooper (Dem., Texas,
voted against the bill.
Two amendments were offered in com
mittee but another was rejected by 4
Republican. One offered by Mr.. Coopx
extended the provisions of the treaty -
all other countries. The other, offered by
Mr.. Williams the minority floor leader
abolished the differential duty on refined
sugar.
The report says:
The enactment of this bill into law is
necessary to give effect to the convention
providing for reciprocal trade between
this country and Cuba. This results not
mercy because the convention itself pro-
vides that it shall not take effect until
the same shall have been approved by the
Congress- but because the constitution
gives no power to the President and the
Senate to make a convention or treaty
changing the rates of revenue. That pow
er is expressly lodged in the Congress.
This legislation will result in no harm
to any American industry. Articles to the
product of this country, like the articles
embraced III this convention now import
ed from Cuba receive the very highest
protection of any in the same schedule
The duty on sugar was placed above the
protective point for the purpose of rev
enue. The House tariff bill provide ex-
pressly for a reduction in the interests of
reciprocal trade agreement, which it au-
thorized the President to make. The duty
on tobacco has for years been much high
er than any necessity required on account
of the competition of Cuban tobacco. The
reduction III this bill leaves it amply
protected
