as though there was nothing but coffee
flowing through my veins.
'Coffee agreed we'll enough for a
time, but for number of years |
have known that it was doing me great
harm, but, like the rum topper, | thought

Washington, D. c., April By a
vote Of 202 to 26 the house passed
the national quarantine bill The
bill places the control of all quaran-
tine stations, grounds and anchor
ages under the secretary of the treas

ment are best suited to prevent the

Washington, March Ex-senator
Knox made his first set speech in the
senate. He spoke on the railroad
rate question and dealt almost ex-
clusively with the legal features of
the problem. He indicated several
provisions of the house bill which he
considers unconstitutional and ex-
pressed the opinion that Senator
Bailey's amendment depriving the
United States circuit courts of power
to grant temporary injunctions would
not stand the test of the courts. The
senate then entered upon considera-
ton of the conference report on the
bill regulating the final disposition of
the affairs of the five civilized tribes
of Indians and much objection was
expressed to many changes. Some Of
these were criticised on the ground
that the conference committee had
transcribed it's authority by the in
sertion of new matter. There was a
renewal of the discussion of the dis
posal of coal lands in Indian Territory
and several senators, including Sen
ators La Toilette Of Wisconsin,
Clark of Wyoming and Tillman of
South Dakota, expressed disapproyal
of the conference provision authoriz-
ing the secretary of the interior to
lease the lands.
The house, in order that the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill might be considered without
being subjected to limitless points of
order, passed a rule prohibiting that
method of fighting the bill.

Washington, Mar. 29.-The senate
listened to speeches on the railroad
rate bill by Senators Clay, Carmack
and Newlands and then passed the
bill for reorganization of the medical
department of the army by authoriz-
ing the appointment of officers to
take the place of contract surgeons.
All senators who spoke on the rate
bill indicated their purpose to sup
port it, but Senator Clay expressed
the hope that it would be SO amended
as to afford a limited court review of
orders of the interstate commerce
commission.
The house committee on appropria-
lions suffered defeat in committee Of
the whole by a vote of IS to p, eX-
punging the paragraph from t,e bill
which was alleged to be properly a
part of the postOffice appropriation
bill. An increase of $4,000 over the
appropriation carried by the bill was
voted for confidential agents of the
