SENATOR ELKiNs SAYS THERE'S
NO HOPE.
SESSIONS GET LONGER
Upper Branch Agrees to Meet an
Hour Earlier to Consider Canal
observation-disclosures Passes Philip
pine Tariff Biil-President Grateful
for Democratic Votes.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The senate
yesterday passed the military acad-
envy appropriation bill.
Early in the day, in response to a
question. Senator Elk1ns, chairman of
the committee on interstate commerce,
expressed the opinion that it would
be impossible to secure railroad rate
legislation during the present session
of congress.
The senate took UP the isthmian ca
nal bill and agreed to meet an hour
earlier today i'm order to advance the
bill.
Ex-senator Higgins finished his
preliminary statement in opening the
defense for Judge Swayne and one
witness for Judge Swayne was exam
ined.
Philippine Tariff Bill Passed.
/ The house passed the Philippine tar
! iff bill practically as it came from
the committee and with but little dis
cussion. There was no especial OPP
position to it, although amendments
coming from the democratic side, de.
signed to put certain products ON the
free list, met with defeat. An effort
to prohibit the importation of opium
into the islands except for medicinal
purpose also failed, although Mr.
Payne of New York explained that the
Philippine commission was dealing
with the subject in its own way.
Battle Flags Go Back.
Immediately after the Philippine
tariff bill was disposed of the house
took up the river and harbor appropri
alton bill, but it was soon laid aside
and several measures were passed
the most important of which was the
authorization given the secretary Of
war to return to the several states the
union and confederate battle flags.
Several members of the house com
mittee on naval affairs including
Messrs. Foss, Dayton and Meyer
called on the president. They ex
changed with him fluctuations over
/ the passage of the bill by the house
containing the provision for two bat
tleships The action of the house
was pleasing to the president and he
expressed qualification that so many
democrats supported the measure by
their votes.
Russians Violate Parole.

report from Admiral McCalla, com
mandant of the Mare Island navy
yard, stating that the three Russian
officers of the Lena who left the shil

yond the limits of San Francisco, ex
cept upon express permission from thu
president of the United States, or il

where he has since resided. He was
first chosen to the senate in 1896,
again in 1900 and last fall he was elect
ed for third term. In politics he
has been identified with the stalwart
branch of the republican party. He
has long been an active member OF the
Congregational church and has done
much to further the interests of the Y.
M. G.. A. A brother is a successful at
torney at Rockford and a sister, Miss
Elizabeth Whitehead, was for many
years matrOn of the Mendoza hospital.
1t is strong and cultured family. In
1900 Senator Whitehead was one OF
the candidates for the gubernatorial
nomination, but withdrew before the
day of the convention, along with the
other aspirants, Messrs. e. M. Rogers,
De Wayne Stebbins, Ira B. Bradford
and A. M. Jones, leaving clear field
to Governor La Toilette. Two years
later he was the stalwart candidate
for the nomination and in the conven-
ton was honored with some 260 votes.
In the session of 1899 he was one OF
the original Quarles men and was one
of the members who stuck by the jun
ior senator until he landed the toga.
Last fall Mr.. Whitehead's democratic
opponent was Robert M. Richmond OF
Evansville. an old varsity boy, class OF
1887, and a brother of Attorney T. G.
Richmond of Madison. For several
sessions Senator Whitehead was chair
man of the senate committee on as
sessment and collection Of taxes. In
1899 he did much to press the measure
which resulted in the establishment
of the tax commission.
Older members of the assembly and
the follower senators miss the face OF
the late Senator Christian. Sarau OF
Oshkosh, who met tragic death In
the summer of 1903. He was good
member of the assembly in the ses-
sions of 1899 and 1901 and two years
ago he was elevated to seat in the
senate Often his fund Of humor
caused much merriment in both houses
of the legislature and at times did
much to ease the strained feelings be-
tween the two warning factions of the
republican party.

tional safeguards to the health Of the
people. This public health service has
a rather interesting history, as it is
unique in the governments of the world.
No such organization exists in any other
country, and probably no function of
OUr federal government carries with it
more arbitrary and far reaching pow
er5 than the enforcement Of health reg
ulations. The marine hospital service
was established by act of congress July
16, 1898. Within two years there was es-
tablished isolated hospitals at Norfolk,
Boston, Newport and Charleston. Up to
1871, when the service was r~eOrganiZed
under a single head, a dozen hospitals
had been established, including those at
Baltimore, New York and Evansville,
Ind. For three-quarters Of a century
there was a very lax administration of
these isolated hospitals. When the
service was ~reorganized, Surgeon Gen
eral Woodwork became its head, and
Improvement at once followed.
The ~upbuilding of the service is slow
work, however, but under DR.. Wyman,
who took charge IA years ago, this serv-
ice, which then only looked after the
sick merchant sailors, was transformed
into a national health service, controll-
ing national and interstate quarantine,
and the inspection Of the millions Of i'm
migrants who come to this country. The
bureau also handles epidemics, state,
national and i~nsular, and controls the
production and distribution Of serums,
viruses. toxins and analogous products.
1t conducts scientific research along hy-
gienic lines, either in the finely equipped
laboratory in this city or in some part
of the territory or possessions of the
United States.
The hygienic laboratory which now
occupies the old naval observatory, is
engaged in most important inHvest1ga-
tons. 1t promises in time to become one
of the great institutions Of the United
States devoted to medical research. OF
the $50 doctors connected with the bu-
eau some of the brightest are assigned
to work in this laboratory. 1t is study
ing leprosy, spotted fever and looking
after the purity Of drugs, as we'll as in

Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-

to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges'

reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams

a stoppage in his speech. This does not
prevent him, however, extracting a max
imum of enjoyment out Of his
vacation, which he annually takes
in southern France and north

giOns which he explores or a bicycle.
This is a rather inadequate description
of Hon. Alvey. A. Adee. whose official
designation is the second assistant Sec
rotary of state, but it will suffice TO pic
ture him to the hundreds of people who
have had to do business at the state de-
partment.
Secretary Adee's whole life has been
devoted to diplomacy, and if the truth
were known, the majority of the able
state papers that have appeared over the
names of much more famous men than
he during the last 20 years have been Of
his composition. He is an expert in the
use of diplomatic language, and in the
construction of correspondence that
will carry harsh truths in the softesI
terms.
Not long ago Mr.. Adee presided at the
meeting of the directors of the bureau
of American republics. AS he could not
hear n motion made or speeches de-
livered, he worked out a programme
which he had typewriter and given to
each member. In this programme the
order of business was indicated and the
time to be allotted to each subject. The
number Of minutes each member was TO
be allowed to speak was also indicated.
Mr.. Adee called the meeting to order
exactly on time and then with a split
second watch before him proceeded to
carry out the programme. Some of the
grandiloQuent South and Central Ameri-
can ministers were much astounded to
be cut off in the midst of their speeches
by the sharp pounding of Mr.. Adee's
gavel. The latter never let on for a mo-
ment that he knew he was interfering
with speeches, but Immediately an
nounced the next order of business, and
in this way the meeting was conducted
on schedule time and according to the
Adee programme.
