WILL NOT BE CALLED.
President Said to Have Abandoned
idea Of Summon!ng Congress
in Extra Session. r.,

Washington, May Is. - President
Roosevelt's decision to make southern
trip in October is believed to settle per-
manently the question Of an extra ses-
sion of congress. Before the president
left Washington for the southwest his
mind was made up apparently irrevoca-
bly,, to assemble the Fifty-ninth con-
gress in extraordinary session not later
than October l, for the purpose of enact
ing railroad rate legislation along lines
that would insure permanent reform for
many of the evils of railway manage
ment. He was only dissuaded from call
ing an extra session Immediately follow
ing the adjournment of the Fifty-eighth
congress in March by promises OF lead
ing republican senators and representa-
tives to support his legislative pro-
gramme so far as 1t applied TO railroad
rates, if the call was delayed until Oc-
tober. Now the president appears to
have voluntarily changed lbs pro-
gramme, and instead of calling congress
here in October he will make q pro-
longed tour of the southern stateswhich
will keep him on the road at least three
weeks. He may decide to issue the call
for the list of November, but this is pure
ly conjectural.
Senators and representatives who
keep in touch with his purposes are in
clined to believe that there will be no
extra session; that the president is sat
isfied that the Fifty-ninth congress will
heed the demand Of the people for salts
factory railroad legislation and that a
bill can be passed as speedily at the reg
ular session as it could at q special ses-
sion. He has received positive assur-
ances from Senators Elkins, Cullom,
Dolliver, Clapp, Kean and other intluen-
tial members of the committee on inter-
state commerce that bill will be re-
ported to the senate at the beginning of
the next congress, and that it will en-
body many needed reforms in keeping
with the presidents suggestions. All
this is very gratifying to Mr.. Roosevelt
1t seems to assure the passage of salts
factory bill next winter and the presi-
dent does not feel that he ought to ask
for more than that.

Mrs. Van scoy Experiences Dangerous
After Effects from Grip and Learns
Value Of q Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired d.
Restion and over-sensitive nerves.
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis. rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, aud even con-
sumption. '
a The story told by scores Of victims Of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
anmmia or scantiness Of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve.tonio, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness Of action nothing Is known
that win approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
! ."I had severe attack Of grip and, be-
fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was IN q badly rundown
state. Soon after it began I was 80 lame
for a week that could hardly walk. It
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had to give up completely and for
three weeks I was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were 80 stiff I couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart aud thoroughly
alarmed me.
z" While I was suffering in this way I
Glanced to run across little book that
told about the merits Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it i'm
pressed me and led me to buy box. These
pills proved the very thing I needed.
improvement set in as soon as began
to take them, and it was very marked by
TIE time I had finished the first box.
Four boxes made me well woman. :"
Mrs. Laura M. Van Scoy lives at No.
30 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow in the train Of grip. They are
sold by all druggists. ..

plans FOR Peace
MEET With CHECK
CHICAGO TRANSFERS AGAIN ne
JEcT TERMS FOR SETTLE
MENT OF STRIKE.
Express Companies Refuse to Reem-
ploy Striking Drivers and the
Trouble Will Be Continued-Indus-
trial War May Spread.

Chicago; May 22.-COmplicatiOn
suddenly have arisen in the transfers
strike situation that threaten the over.
throw of all peace negotiations and the
precipitation of a general strike. The
Transfers Joint Council, at an hour
when the calling Off of the strike was
looked for, rejected the proposition
for settlement agreed to by the EN-.
ployers and the union leaders, and
voted to continue the struggle. The re-
fusal by the express companies to re-
employ any of their old drivers was
the cause Of the joint councils action.
The arbitration that the Chicago team
owners requested several days ago, le-
garding the right of teamsters to re-
fuse to make deliveries to strike-bound
firms, also was turned down in the re-
newed manifestation OF the war spirit.
Strike May Spread.
The situation, therefore, has been
put back exactly where it was before
peace negotiations were begun last
week. following the arrival of Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. This situation, however,
promises to become aggravated when
lumber and hay and grain interests at
tempt to deliver their products to boy
cotted houses. The inevitable result,
unless other means of bringing about
settlement are found, will be the
adding of thousands more to the ranks
of striking and locked-out teamsters.
With spread of the strike may
come troops to cope with the law and
end of the situation. This is regarded
as certainty, and Sheriff Barrett, who
had been awaiting the outcome of the
joint council meeting at the Sherman
House, a few doors away, announced
his determination of taking immediate
action.
Terms Voted Down.
The terms of the Chicago Employ
ers' association, formulated at a con-
ference in Levy Mayors Office after a
series Of peace negotiations through
4S hours, and which were voted down
by the joint council, were:
l. The unions to fix a date for the
end of the strike
?. The employers to announce the
evening before how many men would
be reinstated the following morning.
3. Policemen, special guards, detec-
lives and private operatives to be re-
moved from the barns and wagons
within 80 minutes after strike is set
tied.
i. Employers to take back employees
without discrimination.
5. Wages, hours and working condi-
tons to remain unchanged.
6. No agreements to be signed ON
either side.
Z. Agreements to apply to depart
ment stores, furniture dealers, coal
firms and all other strike-bound firms
except railway express companies.

Thieves Steal
HANDSOME N !! jewels
FIRM OF TIFFANY & CO., ROBBED
OF THREE STONES CUT FROM
FAMOUS DIAMOND.
Value of the Gems Is Placed at 500, 900
old and Trusted Employees Are
Blamed for Carelessness Making
Theft Possible.

New York, May 22-Three diamonds
cut from the world famous Excelsior
stone and valued in the aggregate at
100000 were stolen from the shop Of
Tiffany & Co. on May 4. The fact was
made public for the first time Saturday.
Detective forces on two continents are
working to recover the gems. In all
ten diamonds were cut from the Excel
sior last fall shortly after it's purchase
by Tiffany from an English syndicate.
The stone was found at Jagersfontein,
South Africa, in 1898, and in the rough
weighed OIL carats. It was the largest
diamond that has ever been cut up and
the tctal value Of the ten stones taken
from it was 100000. Five of the dia-
monds were sold by Tiffany to we'll
known New York people last Christ
mas. OF the remaining five the COM
pany now has only two.
Stolen in Workshop.
The robbery was committed in the
workshop on the fifth floor of the Tiff
fanny building in Union square, on the
afternoon of Thursday, May 4. The
next morning, when the manager Of
the department went to take them from
the safe in which they should have
been locked for the night, they had
disappeared. In fact, the three d;a
monds upon which q trusted workman
had been employed all day on May 4
never had been placed in the safe.
Loosely wrapped in paper the 100000
worth of jewels had been laid by the
workman an the shelf window of the
wire cage which separates the Office
from the workshop.
Detectives are working on the theory
that one of the so men and boys in
the shop knew what this particular
package contained and that the temp
tation to take it was too great to be
resisted.
Although 16 days have passed since
the robbery was committed, not one
satisfactory clew has been found, but
Tiffany & Co., and the police are con-
fident that the jewels cannot be dis
posed of without detection.
Wonderful Jewels.
OF the three diamonds, the largest
weighs 81 carats and is valued at $780,
900. Another Of "a carats Is worth
$4,000. The smallest one, weighing 20
carats, would bring $4,000. All are
pearl shaped and absolutely pure
white. Their brilliancy is remarkable.
Eacn one is aawless. Tiffany g. Co.
were proud of the ten diamonds and
experts pronounced them to be as fine
as ever known.
They never had been displayed in the
store, but were shown to customers in
the diamond room. J. Pierpont Nor
gan, Thomas w. Lawson, the Astors,
Vanderbilts and other wealthy people
handled and admired them when the
firm decided first to sell the ten stones
in one set. The price asked-$500,000
proved a stumbling block to this
plan, 50 the diamonds had to be dis
posed of separately.

CHRISTIAN sCIExcE IN NEBRASKA
Pending Legislative Bill Calls Forth
Severe 'Censure.


No one will conceive any higher opinion
of the intelligence of the Nebraska legisla-
ture from the fact that 1t is making war
on the Christian Scientists. What it pro-
poses to do Is not entirely clear, but the
dispatches say that a bill has been re-
ported from the committee OF the whole
which provides that 'it shall be unlawful
for any person to attempt to cure mental
or physical ailments real or imaginary. for
pay. without first obtaining a license 10
practice the healing art from the State
Board OF Health"
This is called in the dispatches "a knock
out blow for Christian Scientists" probably
because the state board, being composed OF
regular physicians. will refuse licenses to
Christian Science healers. That this is the
expectation Is likely from the fact that the
bill was originated and promoted by the
regular physicians, who crowded the hall
OF the legislature when It was agreed upon.
The Chronicle, without meaning to in
dorse Christian Science. characterizes this
proposed action OF the Nebraska legislature
as oppressive. To require Christian Science
healers 10 take out licenses is unobjectiona- =
BILE. but to require them to obtain licenses
from people who are at swords points with
them is as unjust as II the case were re-
versed and the regular physicians were re-
auired to obtain licenses from the Christian
Sciences.

THE PRIVATE PENSION FLOOD

The present session of congress will
surpass the record of any of its prede-
cessors in the passage of private pension
bills 1t Is thought that the number of
these bills will be fully 1900 and may
perhaps exceed that number, which
would be nearly twice as many of such
acts as the previous highwater mark.
This large drain upon the national treas
ury is a matter in which the public gen
orally has perhaps taken too little inter
est, though 1t has not failed to receive
some attention from the press at every
session of congress. This, however. has
failed to have the desired effect of check
Ing the introduction of these bills.
Unquestionably some of these private
pension measures are meritorious, but It
is a well-knOwn fact that a considerable
number of them are not and that il the
proper consideration were given TO all
these bills many of them would be re-
jected. This has repeatedly been pointed
out by members of both houses of con-
gress, but apparently without making
any impression. since the food of private
pension bills continues to grow. The
number already passed at the present
session will add very materially to the
demands upon the treasury and will con.
stitute no small part of the expected
deficit
