amended by the committee would pledge
the government to the general prop

strong contention for the preservation
of the senatorial prerogative and, in
stancing the agreement with reference
to the Plus fund, declared that even
that should have been presented to the
senate, Notwithstanding the general
provision for submission to The Hague

treaties, which is the crucial point in
the contention between the president
and the senate
The discussion, which was charac-
terized by expressions of highest re-
gard for the president, was along the
| lines that the senate could not, if It
would, surrender its part of the treaty

diseases to treat
Nearly every physician has dlfter-
ent treatment. There has been no
common agreement as to the best way
of handling this scourge of the CIV
ilized world.
In 1850 DR.. Hartman introduced Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. and as soon
as la grippe came to be recognized as
epidemic catarrh. Peruna gradually
came to be used as la grippe remedy.
From that time. the use of Peruna
as a la grippe remedy has steadily
grown. Now it is the recognized STAN
dard remedy of the world for la grippe.
Not only is it prompt and efficient
in it's action in the acute stages OF la
grippe, but. for the after -effects of la
grippe, no better remedy can be found
AS rule, la grippe leaves its victims
in a very bad state of health. The
nervous system is disturbed and
especially the digestive and nutritiVe
organs are deranged.
This condition has produced host
of chronic invalids in all sections of
the country.
In no other class of cases has Peruna
been able to accomplish more remark
able cures than in these cases.
Peruna at once removes the catarrhal
condition of the mucous membranes,

SENATE DEBATES LETTER
Opposition to Stand Taken by Pres
ident Is Unanimous

By Associated HTesS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. n.-lmme-
diately after the close of the routine
morning business the senate at 12:1S
p. m, on motion of Mr.. Cullom, went
into executive session. In moving the
session Mr.. Cullom antagonized several
senators who expressed a desire to
transact other business. He said it
was especially desirable that the con-
sideration of the arbitration treaties
he proceeded with and expressed the
hope that they might be disposed of to-
day if an early start could be secured.
AS soon as the doors were closed,
Senator Cullom presented and had
read the letter from the president to
himself i'm which the president had
taken exception to the senate amend
ment substituting the word treaty"
for the word agreement" The letter
was something of a surprise to many
members of the senate and the reading
received the undivided attention of all
present.
Tendency Toward Usurpaton
When the reading had been con-
cluded, Senator Morgan took the floor
and, making the presidents letter the
text Of his remarks, proceeded with a
sharp criticism of executive inter
ference with the senate in performing
its part i'm the making of treaties.
He spoke of the letter as another
evidence of the presidents tendency
toward the usurpation of the senate
rial prerogatives. and said that the
president had no more right to inter-
fere with the senate's consideration of
the proceedings than the senate would
have had to interfere with him while
the treaty was in process of prep
aration.
Plus Fund Instance Cited
When Senator Morgan completed his
speech Senator Spooner took the floor
and following somewhat on the lines
OF Mr. Morgan's remarks, took issue
with the president ON the substitution
Of the word treaty" for agreement" "
eontending that the change was not an
indication of any backward step but
that, even with this change, the con-
summation of the treaties would mark
an important step forward, He said

taking coal on board and are making

Z The French cruiser Descartos and
five torpedo boats are cruising off Cape

gunboats Acheron and Styx are about
to leave Saigon for the purpose, it is
said, Of preserving neutrality of

is furnished with wireless telegraph
apparatus, has received several dis
patches in foreign code, which are
illegible. A Chinese junk, which ar
rived here recently reported that two
Japanese vessels purchased supplies at

General News.

Paris, April 12.-Germany's efforts to
secure an international conference on
the Morocco question do not cause fur
ther apprehension here, as the gov
ernment is aware that practically all
the powers having any political inter
ests in Morocco would not participate.
This applies to France, Great Brit
ain, Spain, Italy and Russia, other
European powers having little or no
interest in Morocco. Consequently
Germany would be practically alone in
favoring or participating in an inter-
national gathering. 1t is assumed the
neutral attitude of the United States
will probably lead her to withhold
participation, if all interested parties
except Germany declined to take part
in the proposed conference. The French
authorities, therefore, do not attach
further serious Importance to the in
ternational conference movement, be-
ing convinced that it is doomed in adj
vance to failure. Germany's plans
concerning the suggested conference
have not taken definite form.

WHY THEY ACCEPT
Prudential Committee Of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions Make Statement Regarding
Acceptance Of Rockefeller Gift.

Boston. April IA statement was
made public today by the prudential
committee of the American board OF
commissioners for foreign missions,
which Yesterday voted to accept the
s10O. 900 offered to the board by John
D. Rockefeller. Two weeks ago the
committee adopted the report of the
subcommittee recommending the ac-
ceptance of the money, but in view OF
the strong protest made by the Con-
gregational clergy final action was de-
ferred until yesterday, when sup
Elementary report was MADE py the
subcommittee. This report, togeth-
er with that of two weeks ago, was
adopted. The supplementary report
takes up the objections Of the protes-
tants and asserts they are not sufft-
cient to prevent the board from ac-
cepting the money.
One OF the principal points raised
in the report is the claim of the COM
nittee that the board can not now
legally return Rockefeller's money be-
cause the decisions of the highest
court are to the effect that trustees
who have once accepted a gift and
assumed certain obligations have no
power to return the gift and to alb
solve themselves from those obliga-
tions. The committee holds that by
returning the gift, as suggested by
the Protestant clergymen, the Amer
lean board would be made responsible
not only to those for whose benefit the
gift was designed, but also to the pre-.
sent officers and successors This
statement refers to the fact that the
board already has used one half of the
Rockefeller gift which was actually
accepted February IA. The commit
tee holds the return of the gift would
have been wrong, for it would have ex-
pressed disapprobation and condemns
ton of the man when he was doing an
act Of benevolence. The committee
says: "This would have been to con-
fuse the issue and to act contrary
to the Christian spirit. To prevent any
man from doing good is a wrong way
in which to condemn him for doing
evil. 1t is as wrong to condemn him
when he is doing good as to condemn
him when he is doing a bad deed"
The committee also contends the
board is not organized to decide qucs-
tions of temperance, economics or So
cialis1n.

REBATES LEGALLY PAID.
Despite Controllers Opinion, Rate Con
cessions Will be Made.

Washington, April 12.-The opinion
of the comptroller of the currency,
holding that the interior department
violated the law when it took rebates
from railroads on transportation sup
plies for irrigation projects, does not
disturb the officials of that department
They believe the government will
doubtless continue to get the benefit of
the good intentions of western rail-
roads regarding freight rates on ma
terials carried for irrigation service.
The dams and regulating works
come in most remote places, at nom
competitive points almost without ex-
ception where rates have been adjust
ed to small business of a kind that
should make UP for more moderate
charges where water and other COM
petition intervene The sudden in
crease in the volume Of business at
these high rate points makes it only
fair that charges should be much less
than those applicable to ordinary
traffic. and especially so when the rail-
roads have an interest in promoting the
reclamation service, because of the re-
turn business that will come from set
tlement Accordingly they offered
half rates, as the interstate commerce
law permits reductions to the govern
ment.
The only question involved, the in
terror department felt, was how to
make this concession directly available.
Formerly, contractors, knowing that
they could have this concession, made
their bids accordingly, but last March
a refund act was passed by which any
moneys received on payments out of
irrigation funds We're returned to it
instead of going into the treasury's
general Golfers. Since then it has been
intended to have railroads return di-
rectly to the government the amount
of this concession, and all the depart
ment wanted of the controller was
his opinion as to how the benefits of the
law could best be utilized.
