CHANCE IS SMALL
FOR MORE MONEY
District Building May Not
Get 100000
OPPOSITION IN THE HOUSE
Idea Conflicts With Notions of Keep
ing Down Appropriations TO Make
a Showing.
OPPOSITION IN THE HOUSE

The chances for the District securing
from Congress the desired additional APP
preparation of 100000 for the construc-
ton of the new Municipal Building are
exceedingly Slight on the House side.
So we'll is this recognized that the
District authorities are already figuring
on the possibilities of having the item
appended to the District appropriation
bill when it goes from the House to the
Senate. it being understood that the
Senators are more favorable than the
Representatives to the appropriation.
The reasons for the House opposition
to granting the money are manifold.
Conflicts With Economy.
In the first place, the general rule
of strict economy followed in the House
is against second addition being made
to the original estimate of the cost of
the structure, and the appropriation
would be fought on this ground alone
Under the rules of the House the item
cannot be recommended for passage
from the Committee on Appropriations.
1t would have to be included IN {. bill
prepared by the House Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds. The
chances OF any such bill being presented
before this session Of Congress have
mitted on ali sides that such action is
at present doubtful of fulfiliment.
Members Don't Want It.
Should this omnibus pubic buildings
bill be prepared and submitted, it is by
no means certain that the Municipal
Building item would appear therein.
The uncertainty on this point is caused
by the enormous influence that would
be brought to bear by several members
of Congress to have The available APP
preparations for public buildings go to
their own districts, and it is extremely
doubtful whether the District Of Column
bia could withstand this pressure suffi-
GENTLY TO have the s500,0O0 kept in the
measure
Even should this be accomplished
however, the indications are that the
appropriation would by no means be
assured 1t is reported on high au-
thority that members of the Committee
on Appropriations would fight it from
the floor, with the result that 1t could
not pass on the final vote.
Should Hew to Line.
Such a position on the part of the
Appropriations Committee is explained
by the fact that it thinks the District
authorities should have hewn 10 ths
line~of the original figure set. for the
cost of the building. and should not have
planned for a structure beyond that
: figure in price.
The local authorities hope that the
Senate VIII make the desired amendment
To the House District appropriations bill
ana that the passage of the item will
hollow such action.

MOROCCOANS HAIL
KAISER AS FRIEND
Believe He Will Defend the
independence of Their
Country

BERLIN, April 1.-The Lokal An
zeiger, in a dispatch from Tangier,
says that in replying to the members
of the German colony Emperor Will
lam said he was glad to make the ac-
quaintance of the pioneers of Germany
in Morocco and to tell them that they
had done their duty. They must re-
main united and continue to fulfill their
duty under the emperor's protection.
Germany had great commercial inter-
ests in Morocco. Her trade was adj
vancing gratifyingly. He the en-
peror) would make it his business to
promote this trade. which was only
possible on the assumption Of the
equality of all the powers and the SOW
ereignty of the sultan and independence
of the land. His visit was a recog-
milton of this independence.
The speech created an immense i'm
preston in the foreign colony at Tan
gier and especially among the natives,
who now refer to the emperor as the
protector of the independence of Mo-
rocco.
Has Treaty Foundation
The Berlin side of the controversy is
founded upon a treaty of which article
l reads:
Shall exist between his majesty, the Ger
man emperor and his majesty the sultan
of Morocco. also between their empires
and their subjects. Between both empires
shall the present freedom of trade con-
tinue and for this purpose, each of the
nigh contracting parties binds itself to
give and to secure to the subjects of the
other all rights, advantages and privi-
leges now or in the future held by the
most favored nation.
This is the treaty Of 1891, which was
not revised and runs without limitation
and without any provision for its de-
rocco cannot of right be dissolved or
impaired, it is asserted by the German
government, by the agreement between
France and Great Britain to which
Germany is not asignatory. Germany
declines altogether to recognize France
as having any more dominant position
IN Morocco than Germany.

Britain has been fully discussed in the

Minister Delcasse's conversation with

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature, but few real
lie its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
CHARCOAL is remedy that the more you
take OF II the better; it is not drug at
all, but simply abserbs the gases and i'm
puritles always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
ana other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in Stu
arts Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed
OF the finest powdered Willow charcoal and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet form
or rather in the form of large. pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mix
ed with honey.
The daily use OF these iozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
SWeeter breath and purer blood and the
beauty of it is, that no possible harm
can result from their continued use, but
on the contrary, great benefit.
Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: Il advise
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bow
els, and to clear the complexion and puri-
~ the breath. mouth and throat; 1 also

Dunno has made the canvass on a munich

PERHAPS CANNIBAIS
GOT THESE EXPLORERS
Men Who Set Out to Inspect Tiburon
Island Are Lost

YUMA, Ariz., April lit is now al
most an assured fact that Harry E.
Miller and Capt. Gus Olender have lost
their lives in an attempt to explore
Tiburon island. Whether they were
killed and eaten by the cannibals
among the Teri Indians on the island or
drowned in the gulf of California, or
were slain by some marauding band of
renegade Yaqui Indians on the main
land of Sonora is a mystery that prob
ably never will be solved. The fact
remains, however. that the men are
lost, and the circumstances lead to the
conclusion that they met death in one
of the three ways mentioned. Miller
was a school teacher from Los An
geles, of an adventurous turn of mind
and Olender was a seaman engaged
by him to accompany him on an explo-
ration trip to Tiburon.
