Would Extend Presidents Power
 in Canal Matter
MANN BILL IS DISCUSSED
Section Providing for Aboishing Pan. ana Canal Commission Is Elim- .. mated From the
 Senate Bill.

Washington, February 16.-Without waiting for the Mann canal bill to come over from the IYouse, the Senate commit tee on inter-oceanic canals authorized Senator Kittredge to prepare a new bill for the committee and introduce it to the. Senate, which was done today.
 The committee has been sitting for several weeks, having before 1t the Mann bill as originally reported in the House and amendments reported on February l. The Mann bill provides specifically for the repeal of that part of the canal act authorizing the appointment of the 18th milan canal commission, and fixing its duties and powers. This section Is eli- minated from the Senate bill. and the entire question is covered in the first sec tion which extends the present canal act.
 The bill introduced by Senator Kittredge follows out practically all the remaining provisions of the Mann bill. but provides also number of new features. One inn portant change is in the section which extends the authority now enjoyed by the President for the control of the canal zone. The Senate bill extends this au- thority until the end of the next regular session of Congress, while the Mann bill provides for an extension until tEe end of the next Congress.
 Another new feature of the Senate bill is as follows:
 "All income at any time received by the United States from rentals dividends or otherwise in respect of any property now possessed or hereafter acquired In con nection with the canal, the railroad or other works, shall be turned Into and credited to the fund for the construction of said canal and said works
 Two new sections are added as fol- lows:
 That all laws affecting imports of ar- ticles, goods, wares and merchandise and entry of persons into the United States from foreign countries, shall apply to articles, goods. wares and merchandise, and persons coming from the canal zone, Isthmus of Panama, and seeking en- trance into any state or territory of the United States or the District of Colum- bia."
 The other provides for the deposit of not to exceed s1,500, 600 with a bank hav- ing a fiscal agent on the Isthmus of Panama, in order that there may be sufficient supply of money to meet the necessities of the government.

What To Do
 For Heart Trouble.
Back Up My Advice with this Remark acle Ofrer--A Full Dollars Worth of my Remedy Free to Prove That
 I Am Right,

 am warranted in making sthls unusual affer because mine Is no ordinary rem edy, It does not svalniy try to stimulate the heart. Such treatments are wursc than useless. rt goes straight to, the cause of all hoart trouhie-tha heart nerves--and strengthens them and vitalizes them and restores them, Then that is the end of heart discusses.
 For the heart itself has no more self control than common; sponge. It Is nude to boat by a tender nerve so tiny that 1t Is scarcely visible to the naked eye. Yet ten thousand times a day this delicate nerve must cause the heart to expand and contract
 The heart Is about the size of your olenched fist, Open and close your fist dozen times, even. and you will see tho nonstrous labor this little nerve must do.
 The heart nerve is only one of the branches of tho great sympathetic nef- vous system, Each branch of this system is so closely allied with the others that weakness or irregularity at any point is apt to spread. Heart trouble frequently arises from Stomach trouble through sym pethy, and Kidney trouble may also fol- low. For each of these organs is operated by branch of these same sympathetic nerves~-the Inside nerves.
 The bond of sympathy between the nerves that operate the vital organs has useful purpose as well. For what will cure weakness in one branch will surely cure weakness in every branoh--what will restore one center will surely restore them all.
 There Is nothing new about this-noth- ing any physician would dispute. But 1t remained for Dr. Shoop to apply this knowledge--to put it to practical use. Dr. Shoops Restorative Is the result of a quarter century of endeavor along this very line. It does not dose the organ or deaden the pain--but it does go at once to the nerve-the inside nerve-the power nerve-and builds 1t up and strengthens it and makes 1t well.
 If you have heart trouble and have never tried my remedy, merely write and ask. I will send you an order on your druggist which he will accept as gladly as he would accept dollar. He will hand you from his shelves u standard sized bot tie of my prescription, and he will send the bill to me. This offer is made only to strangers to my remedy.

Mir. Moore,s Renort.

WaSnlnSlOn, IeDfuafy I.--lDe re- port of John Bassett Moore, the agent of the United States in the Dominican arbi- tration, referred to by the PresidRnt is a long statement, giving great detail of all the financial operations of the Dominican government in relation to the San Do- mingo Improvement company, and with European syndicates.
 The important factor in Mr. Moore report, so far as they- touch the protocol submitted yesterday. are set out in the r esidents message. Mir. Moore's detailed statement is a remarkable disclosure of the methods of previous Dominican ad- ninistrations in dealing with foreign cred itors. He tells how the San Domingo In provement company took over the ob- legations of the Westendorps, which had been hampered in their operations by the Barring failure in 1s9). The improve ment company was successfully carrying out it's engage .ents, when, to prevent seizure of the custom house by tho French governn ent in 1e95 the company was obliged to undertatke to defray the French claims
 Further Embarrassment Caused.
 Further embarrassment resulted from the depreciation of the Island currency by paper adulteration, and also from the assassination of President Heureux. Fi- naily, after repeated hotsiie collisions with President Jlminez. the company was peremptorily excluded from the discharge of the functions in the collection of the revenues under the laws.
 MT. Moore tells how. after appeals to the Washington government, the com panys claims against San Domingo were brought to arbitration, and reduced from SC, ,O0,000 to s4. 500,0 600 at the instance of the Dominican government. All that was left to be settled by arbitration, therefore, was not the amount of the award, but merely the terms and times of payment, and the manner of the collection of the installments, which subjects were treated in the protocol signed at San Domingo. January 31. 1903. MT. Moore says that it was shown to the arbitrators that the island revenues were being dissipated

Would Have Been Farce.

If the arbitrators had accepted this condition of things as normal or per- manent, their proceedings would necessa- rily have been a farce, and they could have rendered no award. So, says MT. Moore, they framed the letter upon the assumption that the revenues were to be properly devoted 10 the payment of legit- innate expenses of government, and the satisfaction of It's creditors instead of being worse than thrown away in harm full and illegal ways

Can Point With Pride.

"We can point with just pride to what we have done in Cuba as a guarantee of our good faith. We stayed in Cuba only so long as to start her alright on the road to sef-government which she has since demonstrated with such marked and distinguished success, and upon leav- ing the island we exacted no conditions save such as would prevent her from ever becoming the prey of strangers Our purpose in Santo Domingo Is as bensfci- ent The good that this country got from its action in Cuba was indirect rather than direct. So it ts as regards Santo Domingo. The chief material advantage that will come from the action proposed to be taken will be to Santo Domingo it. self and to Santo Domingo's creditors. The advantage that will come to the United States will be indirect neverthe- less it is supremely to our interest that all the communities immediately south of us should become prosperous and stable and therefore not merely in name. but in fact, independent and self-governing.
 "I call attention to the urgent need of prompt action in the matter We now have a great opportunity to secure peace and stability in the island without fric- tion or bloodshed, by acting in accordance with the cordial invitation of the govern
 ment authorities themselves It will be unfortunate from every standpoint if we fail to grasp this opportunity for such failure will probably mean increasing and very possibly embarrassing foreign complications in addition. This protocol affords practical test of the efficiency
