A CONTINUAL DRAG.
THE EXACT TERM.

Only those who haveesxperfeneed the pain and
suffering incident to Piles or Hemorrhods can know
what drag and handicap this complaint is; how
sven the nildest forms hinder the patient from
putting forth his or her best efforts, while those

SCOTT AGAINST WOOD
THE WEST VIRGINIA SENATOR
REVIEWS THE CASE.

Senator Scott has submitted in executive
session of the Senate review of the EVIL
dence introduced before the committee on
military affairs in the hearing on the nomi-
nation of Brigadier General Wood to be a
major general.
Senator Scott gives his reason for oppos-
ing confirmation He quotes many points
brought out against Gen. Wood, particular
ly those in connection with charges that
Gen. Wood accepted gifts from the Jai Alai
company, gambling institution of Ha-
vana, and was guilty of completely with
Lieut.. James E. Runcie in the preparation
and publication of an article rejecting dis
creditably on Mai. Gen. John R. Brooke,
his ranking officer.
The testimony of Gen. James II. Wilson
concerning the advancement of Gen. WOOD
is quoted at length. including that portion
which asserts that Gen. Wood was not In
the battle of San Juan.
Referring to the conduct OF Gen. WOOD
toward his superior officer, Gen. Brooke,
Senator Scott says that no impartial per-
son can review the evidence In this matter
without reaching the conclusion that the
charge of disloyaIty Is fully established. He
saws the circumstances so strongly support
the charge and exclude the theory or IN
nocence Of Gen. Wood that If he were being
tried by jury of his countrymen TOT a
crime upon like evidence and under ike
beyond question.
Senator Scott comments on the evidence
introduced tending to reflect directly upon
Gen. Woods character as a man by i'm
peaching his integrity and veracity, and
then after summing up other charges,
says:
''To my mind a most grievous injustice
has been done in the preferment Of Gen.
Wood over hundred or more old army
off1cers-off1cers who won distinction on
many a bloody battlefeld-battlefields where
more lives were lost and more prisoners
taken in one day than during the entire
Spanish-American war"
On the suggestion of some one connected
with the committee Mr.. E. G. Rathbone
sent to Senator Proctor, the acting chair
man Of the committee, q letter, dated De-
cember 10. 1903, submitting to him the mat
ter of whether or not he is entitled to reim-
bursement for expenses, of witness fees, or
both. as a witness before the committee in
the investigation. The major says he came
to Washington expressly son the Wood in
vestigation business. The expenses account
submitted aggregates $2S5, which includes
railroad fare including sleeper from Wells
Vile. N. Y, to Washington and return, and
hotel expenses for thirty-seven days. Mr..
Rathbone said he presented this matter for
such action as the committee might deem
proper. ~

any part Of them.
The greater part of the eighty proposals
received were from individuals who offered
to take anywhere from 81 900 to 10000 Of
the total loan. Some of the bids were from
the south and some from New England,
but none from west OF Omaha. Besides the
Harvey Fisk bids. some Of the principal

PLUMBER WAS HID IN HIS HAIR
Curious Hiding Place for Stolen Prop
| erty Of Negro Prisoner.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, January IL, 1904
Jailer May Of Greensboro, N. c., has been
greatly annoyed of late by complaints COM
ing from prisoners of petty stealing from
one another in the Jail. The latest COM
plant came from a negro. who occupied the
cell with another man OF his color The
complainant charged that a gold scarf pin
had been stolen from him, and that a gold
tooth, which he fastened in his mouth with
a screw. was also gone. The negro had
frequently exhibited the gold tooth to the
other prisoner and commented freely upon
its large cost. JaiIer May started an in
vestigation and, sure enough. the negro
complainant had been robbed by his cell
mate, who had the pin and gold tooth hid
don in his thick head of hair. The tooth
had been taken out of the owners mouth
while he slept.

more than usual enthusiasm on ac- count of the decided tone of his teIe- gram to the mayor of Hull on Monday.
 Speeches of members of the cabinet and of the house of commons today in different parts Of the country voice the sentiment Of Great Britain, and the spirit in which the utterances were met shows that for the moment party dif- ferences have been laid aside and the country is solidly behind the govern ment.
 Lord Selbourne, at the Pilgrims. banquet tonight. denounced the Dogger bank affair in the most unspokeu terms yet heard from q member of the cabinet. He referred to it as an ''in- excusable outrage" and "a Terrible blunder which would be impossible in either the British or the American navy" Colonial Secretary LyttIeton, too. in another place, spoke ir plain terms, saying that it was impossible to view the affair as other than the re- suit of mucderous intention or wicked negligence.
 A posJ-mOrtem examination Of the bodies of the~Tictims of the Dogger bank affair was held today at Hull. The proceedings were purely formal and no official announcement was made, but it is stated positively that both of the dead men bore wounds in flicted by both machine guns and larg- CT shell.
