of a str by introducing a bill provid-
ing for a reduction of the Congress
sienal representation of the Southern
States on the ground that many of the
citizens of these States are deprived of
their right to vote. Scott plunged the
Senate into an exceptionally early de-
bate by attempting to secure the
passage of a bill granting pensions to
telegraph operators of the Civil War.
large number of bills and joint
resolutions were introduced and many
petitions were presented. The discus
sion of the time for voting on the
Philippine bill brought out the fact
that there is a general understanding
that the Christmas holiday recess VIII
begin on the 18th inst.
In executive session the Senate con-
firmed all four Cabinet nominations
and those of Postmaster Wilcox at
New York and Indian Commissioner
Leupp.

ter upon the consideration Of the bill

graph operators who served as such
during the Civil War Cockrell called
attention to the fact that soldiers were
paid S12 per month, while telegraph
operators had received from $50 to 800
per month, and on this account he op-
posed the bill. He also said that if
telegraph operators were u be pen
stoned it would be necessary to pen

ployes

hearty assistance and cooperation Of the
Department Of Justice in bringing the land
These frauds have been more far-reaching
than the country has suspected. and the task
OF unearthing them and securing the necessary
proofs has been a difficult one. but there has
been no abatement OF the intention TO over
come all difficulties and secure the conviction
of the land thieves. No one will be shielded,
whether high or low. and the work of pros

STATEMENT WITH 1T

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7-Senator
Platt of New York to-day introduced
his bill, prepared under the direction of
the committee on national affairs of the
Republican Club of the city of New
York, having as its purpose the redue-
tion Of representation in Congress Of
the Southern States that have dis
franchised the negroes. The bill if en-
acted in its present form would lessen
the membership in Congress by nine
teen, according to the estimate that
has been made by the Republican CLUB,

ator Platt were referred to rhe Com
piittee on Census.
The bill provides for the reduction of
representation in the House of Repre-
sentatives as follows: Alabama, from

8, Mississippi, TO 6; North Carolina,
10 to s; South Carolina, to 5; Tennes-
see, 10 TO 8; Texas, 16 to Is; Vorginia,

The statement says:
This bill is framed upon the lowest limita-
ton possible and treats as excluded from the
sCffra-e only the male negro citizens over II
years Of age. classed by the twelfth census
lished since the apportionment act of January

The aggregates actually excluded from the
suffrage in each Of the States mentioned are
in truth larger than those used the basis

male citizens over 21) regardless of illiteracy
should be deemed to be excluded, the reduction
in representation, figured from the same
tables, would be nearly twice great as
stated in this bill.
1t requires no evidence beyond the notorious
historical fact for Congress to adjudse what
cannot be denied, that the class OF negro Hit
crates. to the extent stated, is practically ex-
cluded from the suffrage in the States men
toned in the bill, no matter what may be the
nominal provisions of their respective consti-
tuition or election laws The bill therefore
presents the smallest reduction practicable and
is very conservative.
The 'aDportionment' remains fixed in
1901 and the reduction is to when the
facts shall warrant it,
The bill has been prepared under the direc-
tion OF the committee national affairs of

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is IN
Preserving Health and Beauty.


Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature.
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the sams
cleansing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the mors
you take Of it the better; II Is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out OF the system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectuaIly clears and i'm
proves the complexion; 1t whitens tho
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; ft
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal IN one
form or another. but probably the
best charcoal and the most FOR the
money is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozen-
ges; they are composed OF the finest
powdered Willow charcoal and other
harmless antiseptics In tablet form. o
or rather in the form OF large pleas

tion OF the general health. better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer

possible harm can result from their
continued use. but. on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. in speaking OF
the benefits OF charcoal, says: Il advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
