Weekly Letter From Our Reg
ular Correspondent at
Washington

Washington. D. g., April 10 =
Committees of both houses OF congress
having fixed their eyes on the old
homestead. are now refusing further
hearings and rounding up the odds
and ends of business preparatory to
adjournment. The last Of the appro-
priation bills, the Deficiency. has
been reported from committee and
will NOT cause long debate.
Senator Morgan, now in his eight
les, has occupied the floor for more
than two days in continuous speech
on the bill for the governments OF the
Panama canal zone. He takes the
ground that, having been acquired
dsspotioally, it should be governed
despotically; that it was not acquired
for colonization but for a canaliza-
tion, that it is purely United States
reservation, like any of our forts OF
military properties, and that to en-
graft upon it the functions of civil
government is transparent pretence
and a gross sham. Senator Bacon. OF
Georgia, succeeded yesterday in
securing the adoption of an important
amendment formally substituting the
name Of the Republic of Panama fol-
the Republic of Columbia as the
payee to whom is due the money that
is to be paid. The administration
had insisted that the ratification BY
Panama of our treaty with Columbii
entitled Panama to the payment o.
the ten million dollars offered t
Columbia. The bill passed.
The house has passed the Philip
pine BILL. It provides for the con
struction Of railroads, telegraphs, ant
other internal improveme1 ats and fol
the taxation Of the Filipinos to pay
for them. Democrats declare that il
is an elaboration Of the benevolent
proposition that the FilipinOs cal
have everything under the sun tha
they are able to pay for. A lev
weeks ago Secretary Taft enlisted an'
fou ght under the banner Of 1.-THE
Philippines for che Filipinos, /" bui
he now pipes the strain exceedingly
small.

quinquennial census next year. Thli
will be especially interesting in the
South, where it will definitely statis'
tic the cotton product.
Capitol Hill is to be immensely
beautified by the addition of great
palace for the accommodation OF
members of the senate for offices.
1t will occupy an entire square OF
land and will be located across b
Street, opposite the northeast corner
of the senate, to balance the similar
building for the use OF members OF
the house of repr ssentativees the
construction of which has been or
dered and is now progressing on the
other side of Capitol square. The
structure is to cost 81, $50, 900. Mean-
time the extension of the East front
of the Capitol will be suspended till
next winter. The construction of q
new home for the State Department
opposite the White House is also
postponed.
The city is struck dumb, with con-
sternation at the appalling disaster ON
board the battleship Missouri. Who
is to blame? How did it happen? Is
it likely or even liable to happen
again? Are these great engines OF
battle as fragile as card houses ?-and
are the lives of their officers and crew
at the mercy of unknown and incom'
prehensible forces? These are the
questions which are being eagerly
asked. am acquainted with Cap
tain Cowles. He is "a -qeite, self
poised man. and always struck me as
being careful and prudent comman-
der.
The house has passed bill enact
ins rigid Sunday measure for this
District. 1t prohibits the sale OF any
groceries, meats. vegetables or othel
! provisions on Sunday and infiicts
fine Of $25 for the first offence ant
imprisonment in the District Jail fol
one month. It is being contested
before the District committee of the
senate by laboripg men who canno
always provide their tables on Satur

QUIET
Hop Buyers Believe That
Price viii Go to Large
Figures

The hop market is one of the uncer-
t~ainties of the year at the present
time and reports from local and for
eign sources are Of wide divergence.
Some buyers assert that the market
will go to pieces within a few weeks,
but the majority seem to think that
the brewers will pay well for the crop
before long.
Bernard Bing in his last letter from
Nuremberg says.
"There is no material change to note
since my last report. Owing to the
heavy demand from Bohemia, the
transactions of our market were rather
considerable during the last week. Elk
eepting some inferior grades, prices
are unchanged from the high level. The
stock shows an extremely reduced ON
and is smaller than in other
years; sellers are therefore very firm,
with a quiet but firm tendency

Emperor Nicholas has issued the

First-Just and equitable enforce
ment of existing laws, with a view to
securing the harmonious administration
OF all the courts. .
Second - Zemstove organizations,
with a view to giving the widest lati-
tude and autonomy to the various Zem-
stovos, calling additional Zemstovo rep
~resentatives where required, and ere
ating smaller Zemstovo units capable
of dealing directly with the local needs
of the peasants.
Third-Equality of all citizens be-
fore the law, this touching the much
mooted question of pleasant equality
before the courts.

Water Cure Used.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 2s.-The watel
cure is used as means of punishment al
the state penitentiary at Walla Walla
This was made known Saturday by
James M. Toy, a recently discharged
convict.
"The water cure is exceedingly
cruel, , said Toy. ''The- victim is
stripped and then bound so that he can
not struggle. Then water is played on
his body from a two-inch hose with a
half-inch nozzle, at a distance of seven
feet. 1t does not take long to render
the man unconscious. +"
Warden Dryden when asked about
the water cure, said:
1.-THE cure has been administered
three or four times since 1 have been
in charge of the penitentiary. 1t is
severe punishment, but not a cruel
one, and is used only in the case Of re-
fractory convicts who cannot be made
to obey the rules of the penitentiary
by ordinary methods"

Fifth-To secure citizens against ar
bitrary arrest and to accord immunity
for harsh action of the police, except
in the cases of persons known to be
conspiring to commit overt acts
against the stability of the state.
Sixth-The religious freedom of all
subjects of the empire, without re-
spect of creed of manner of worship.
Seventh-For resembling all unnec-
essary repressive laws, leaving in force
only those designed for the participa-
tion of peasants, and for the benefit

OF interest to Thin, weak People.

1t is perfectly understood by every
sick man or woman that if they can
get some remedy hat will stop the
gradual loss of flesh and strength, their
recovery is assured. People that are
nervous and unsteady, with dizzy
spells, weakened memory, and loss of
ambition, their blood is thin and
watery. 1t shows in their sallow com
plexion and tired manner, soon as they
commence to gain flesh they look bet.
ter and sleep better. To gain from l
to 8 pounds of good solid flesh per week
the blood must be made rich and pure.
DR. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic puts
in the body the very pith of what
makes pure rich blood in the most di.
rect way, and cures disease by making
strength. This tonic is in tablet form,
to be taken right after meals. Sold by
