He arraigned the President for failing to carry the Spooner law into effect. and he declared that the President had boldly announced his intention to steal Panama or take it by sheer force.
 Mir. Patterson referred to the portion O. the Presidents message of January, 4. in which he stated that it had been the in- tention, if Colombia did not accept our terms, to submit to Congress "the pro- priety of a direct arrangement with Pan anna or take up other steps that might be needed in order to begin the canal enterprise"
 Such proposition, MT. Patterson de- clared. would have been an insult to the dignity and honesty of Congress.
 He repeated the charge that the Presi- dents mind was known in Panama. and asserted that his course was pure. cold blooded participation with the rebels.
 MT. Patterson having quoted certain newspaper reports. Mir Aldrich inter- rupted that the statements were unau- thorized newspaper reports.
 MT. Patterson replied that he had ob- served that certain newspaper reports concerning the affairs. of the admlnlstra- ton are promptly contradicted. AS an instance. he cited the denial of the re- port that the President had said. con cerning certain attitude toward the

 Mir. Patterson asserted that MT. Bunau- Narilla had come to Washington to lobby the canal measure through for the Pan anna Canal Company, and declared that Bunau-Varilla had not even been in Pan anna since 1886.
 He charged that the effort to dlsplace the Nicaragua canal with the Panama canal was in the interest of those who want no canal at all, and, at the worst, one which would give the least competi- tion to the trans-continental railroads. He believed the Nicaragua canal could be completed in fifteen years less time than the Panama canal He therefore would vote against the ratification of the treaty.
 MT. Patterson was followed by Mir. Platt (Conu.), who said the assaults on the President had been a mystery to him. Often these attacks had been in decent English but some of them had been brutal Mir Patterson's speech. however. had relieved the attacks of their rnvsterv. for he and Mir. Carmack had shown that the purpose was to force the construction of the canal by the Ncara- qna route rather than the Panama route, tbe former being the route of the Demo- cratic party.
 MT Platt declared that the Democrats; lost sight of the fact that Panama's in dependence was an established fact rec ognized not only by the United States. but by all the great nations of the earth, and if we had violated international law.

DEBATE ON THE CANAL
PATTERSON AGAINST AND
 PLATT COMM FOR.
Colorado Senator Says He Will Vote Against the Treaty as He is in Favor of the Nicara-
 qua Route.

Washington. Jan. 20.-Mr. Patterson of Colorado today completed, and MT. Platt of Connecticut began, a speech on the Panama canal question. MT. Patterson declared that the President was largely responsible for the revolt in Panama and announced his decided preference for the Nicaragua route.
 Mir. Platt took this pronouncement for Nicaragua as the text of his remarks, saying 1t explained the mystery of the otherwise unexplainable opposition on the part of the Democratic Senators to the Panama treaty.
 At the beginning of its session the Sen ate took up the resolution for the addi- ton of a clerk in the Senate pOstoffice. Mir Hale objected to immediate cOnsid- eration, saying that too many increases were being made in the clerical force of the Senate. At MT. Hales request. the resolution went over.
 MT Cullom presented a number of peti- tions for service pension bill. saying that he had received such petitions from almost every G. A. R. post in Illinois, and that he hoped they would have the atten- tion of the Senate
 MT. Patterson then continued his ad- dress on the Panama canal question. MT. Patterson undertook to show that Presi- dent RooseVelt's claim that his course In Panama Was in line with policies of the preceding administration was un- founded. Referring to the President 5 declaration that what had{ been done in Panama had been done as the mandate of civilization, Mir. Patterson quoted with approval statement by MT. Spooner to the effect that that was new phase, ad- ding, that it was a new phase and the man who penned it must have been in q state of mental exaltaton at the time as others have been on other occasions. Mahomet. Joe Smith and Dowie have moved in such exalted spheres that they imagined themselves as very vice-regents or the Almighty, and it may be that the Fresldent moves in the same sphere"
 MT. Patterson entered into an argument intended to demonstrate thatColombia had acted in good faith in rejecting the Hay Herran treaty. He said that Colombia mad a perfect right to reject the treaty and declared that its rejection could be

conditions of blood poisoned patients with which we have to contend would never have manifested themselves, had the pa tient needed Natures warnings at the start and begun taking Foergs Remedy to perfectly purify the blood of this deadly poison.
 The secondary stage begins generally with slight fever, with breaking out on various parts of the body, and with a rash usually resembling measles. but in a more scattered form. Then little white cankerous sores will appear in the mouth and on the tongue.
 The patient will have become by this time a human poison-tank.
 The bones themselves will next be at tackled. The patient will be complaining of sharp, torturing pains all over the body, increasing in intensity at night.
 There may be severe headache, the hair and eyebrows will begin to fall out in spots, and the scalp become covered with running sores, presenting a loathsome and disgusting sight.
 THIRD STAGE.
 The third stage of specific blood poison ing offers the most pitiable and shocking condition that the human flesh can fall heir to. Now we see the body a mass chronic running sores. The victim suf- fers pains in the muscles, looseness of the joints, rotting of the bones, unsteady gait, throbbing in the head, dizziness, poor memory, confusion of thought, swirl ing vision, infiamed eyes. Then years after comes the slow approach of paraly- sis, locomotor ataxia, epilepsy or fits, complete loss of memory and ability to think, defective speech, deafness, consump- tion. and lastly softening of the brain, in sanity and-death.

 THE HISTORY OF A MOST REMARKABLE CURE
COMPLETE AND TRUTHFUL STORY OF THE CASE OF J. N. JONES OF
 PRINCETON, XIV.

Jones' arm this day and be made the fol- lowing statement of 1t in our presence. He says that he had 17 running sores on his left arm between the hand and elbow that they were of 12 years duration, very painful and very offensive: that he could not sleep for pain, and for many years when Le did sleep he would have to ele- vate his arm in a pillow and that on one occasion he came to Princeton; for the purpose of submitting to an operation, by having his arm amputated, that being the only hope as held out by the best phy- sicians. After arriving in Princeton his heart failed him and he refused to have the operation performed, saying he would rather die than submit to it. About that time Mir. Hugh Mayes, proprietor of Foerg's Remedy, proposed to him that he would furnish him this great blood rem edy absolutely free, saying he was confi- dent it would cure him., Mir. Jones ac- cepted the offer and about 8 months ago began taking it and that today he onsy has two sores running at all and they are almost stopped. Mir. Jones attributes his being alive today to this great rem edy. He exhibited his arm to us and we could plainly see that he has been greatly benefited, his complexion being clear and he looks so much better in every way. We certify that Mir. Jones is reputable citizen, though poor, and it was charf. table act in Mir. Mayes giving him this remedy. He is very loud in praise of it and we personally know that he has been greatly benefited by it.

Twelve years ago NIT. John NJ. Jones of Caldwell county, Ky. began to suffer from terrible sores on his arms as the result of blood poisoning. and in short time on his left arm seventeen running sores developed between the hand and the elbow. These were very painful and very offensive. incapacitating him entirely for work. The pain was so severe that he could not sleep without elevating his arm on a pillow.
 After undergoing excruciatmg torture for years, and treating with the best phy- sicians, he went to Nashville, Tenn. and underwent a course of treatment with specialist. This was all unavailing and finally the matter was submitted to consultation of doctors and they decided that the only way to save his life was by amputating the arm.
 At the time he arrived in the city to have this operation performed, MT. Jones happened to meet MT. Hugh Mayes who was then the proprietor of Foerg's Rem edy. MT. Mayes became immediately in- terested in the case and proposed to Mir. Jones that he would furnish him with Foerg's Remedy absolutely free so that he might give it good trial and perhaps in his way save his arm. Mir. Jones ac- cepted the offer and about eight months ago began taking this remedy.
 We print here cut showing the arm before taking the remedy aud the ap- pearance of the arm as it is'today.

 It is a disease that drags the victim down in its course rapidly and merci- lessly stealing the brain, footing the body and finally with a defiant finger. points out to>its wretched victim the last re- sort, which is retreat for idiots and Ilunatics, or else, is orders a more char itable ending-death.
 Specific blood poisoning is growing in an alarming way. Doctors and even specialists confess they are not able to cope with it. r
 Anyone who is afflicted with specific blood poison in the primary or second ary stages Is a danger to everyone with whom he comes in contact.
 Fol instance, the members of a family may all contract it by using the same articles. A servant or visiting friend may infect the innocent babe of the house hold simply by kissing it; parents may infect their children, husband their wives, and friends their associates.
 COURSE OF THE DISEASE.
 For the first few weeks after the victim has become infected, he win notice noth. ing unusual, and his health will be ap- parently undisturbed. This is called the period of incubation, during which time no symptoms whatever will appear. Nevertheless during this time, the dis ease is quickly ripening, gathering force and virulence. ready to burst out in all it's terrors within few weeks.
 FIRST STAGE.
 The first symptom of specific blood poisoning appears at the place where the poison first entered the system, on the mouth or tongue, around the finger nails, or any other part of the body, depending entirely on the source of infection.
 These sores have a peculiar hardness surrounding and underlining the scab.
 Sometimes, however, the only evidences of the primary infection are fine pimples at the point of inoculation..
 In about month or less time, the glands nearest to the sore will enlarge become hard and sometimes break, :, SECONDARY STAGE.
 From two weeks to two months after the appearance of the first sore, the symptoms of the secondary stage will appear.
 Right here let us say that because the primary sore has been healed either by the use of caustics or by nature itself, it is no proof that the disease is not still in the system.
