LARGE SUPPLIES OF FOOD.

San Francisco, May 5.-The authorities
today held a conference relative to the
food situation. All present agreed that
rigid economy should be practiced in
future distribution. General Greedy said:
1.-THE condition of the food supply will
render 1t possible to issue very little, ex-
cept flour, which will last ten days. pota-
toes coffee and rice. Meal we are buy
ing In small quantities. The supplies now
on hand must be carefully husbanded.
~ am convinced that there Is regular
repeating, and since thousands of men
are reported to have obtained employ
ment, there should be a material reduc-
ton in the number of those entitled to
relief.
I'VE have recommended the patronage
of cheap restaurants which may be locat-
ed throughout the city. They will be as
sured of support by the working popu
lation, and will greatly relieve the sit
uation.' u
The police and military authorities are
ferretting out the people who have abused
the free supplies privilege. Detectives
found at the home of a member of the
relief committee. so they say, store of
provisions sufficient to last for many
months They also seized at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Levitne $500 worth of
military blankets. bedding and clothing
She refused TO tell where she got the
goods.

RATE MEASURE Is
AGAIN MUDDLED
A CONFLICT HAS ARISEN AS TO
THE AUTHORSHIP OF THE AL
LIsoN AMENDMENT"--KNox is
GIVEN CREDIT.

Westinghouse va 5.--(SpeciaD.-The So
called Allison amendment to the railroad
rate bill, upon which the republican side
of the Senate is seeking to agree, is the
product of the mind Of Senator Knox of
Pennsylvania. regardless of who formally
introduces 1t.
Some time ago the Pennsylvania sena-
the adoption of just such an amendment,
in fact almost verbatim, as that now
credited to Senator Allison. Nothing more
more was heard of the amendment until
yesterday, when II was sprung unoffi-
cially upon the Senate with the announce
ment that the president had decided to
support it Senator Dolliver of Iowa says
his colleague is not responsible for the
amendment. Senator Dollver himself is
against the amendment though If there is
a general republican agreement In it's
favor he will hardly hold out against it.
The Iowa senator is greatly cut up over
the situation, and minces no words in
respect to the sudden turn of affairs in
the Senate. 1t is plain to be seen that
the Republican senators who have been
holding out for what they believed to be
the contentious of the president are of
the opinion that he has deserted his
friends and Joined the Aldrich faction
While many contend, even among the
democrats, that the Knox amendment
does not give the courts any more power
than they possessed under the Hepburn
bill as passed by the house, a large
majority of the democrats, and not a
few republicans declare that the latest
attitude of the president, an attitude
which may again be changed by tomor-
row, is backward step and surrender of
his original principles. Senator Bailey of
Texas says the amendment gives as broad
a court review, a review de novo, as
could be enacted
He adds that railroad attorney could
not draw an amendment which would be
more satisfactory to the railroads of the
country. The Texas senator usually
knows what he is talking about. Other
Senate democrats take much the same
view. For instance Senator Rayner says:
"The amendment ] regard as surrender
on the part of the president and an ac-
ceptance of a position that the president
has heretofore refused to recognize, in
asmuch as it opens the courts for an
entire review of the proceedings of the
commission without any limitation at all.
I hope 1t is not true that the president
has consented to this amendment.
Senator Tillman makes a declaration in
the same strain.
One of the most surprising features in
the whole mater was the attitude of the
president yesterday toward Senator
Bailey of Texas The president had called
in a number of his newspaper friends to
get them to advertise his surrender to
the Aldrich faction Most of his time
was spent in denouncing the amendment
of the Texas senator, which was drawn
with the purpose of meeting the views of
the president In his Raleigh speech.
Seemingly upon the eve of Qualification,
the railroad situation is again muddled,
and the organization republicans, led by
Aldrich and Spooner, say they have the
votes to pass the allison amendment

tho same as the mucous membranes in
any other part of the body.
Or, it may be brought on by overwork,
NV irritating discharges and by excuses
of various kinds.
When the organs of the pelvis once be-
come the seat of catarrh, various derange-
ments arise which are called by different
names.
It is the variety of symptoms of pelvic
catarrh which cause 1t to be mistaken for
many other diseases. Many of the slight
headaches and back aches experienced
daily are merely the external symptoms
of pelvic catarrh.
Local treatment often does not seem
to be of any use.
Some of the organs are so located as
to be beyond reach.
Peruna is an internal, systemic remedy.
1t relieves catarrh wherever located in
the human body.

SHERMAN ABANDoNS TRIP.
viii Journey to the Pacific instead Of
to the Atlantic.

Chattanooga, May ESPECIAL Rev.
Father Thomas f. Sherman and his mill
tary escort returned to Fort oglethorpe
yesterday morning after having gone as
far as Gainesville on the 1906 "march to
the sea-" Father Sherman will not under
take to renew the march to the sea-"
without military escort, and since the
war department has taken the escort
away from him he has decided not to I'M
dertake to go over the ground followed
by his distinguished father in the early
COS.
A reporter undertook to interview Faith
err Sherman a few minutes after he ar
rived at the post, but Col George r.
Chase of the Twelfth cavalry, who is the
guest of the distinguished priest, would
not permit an audience with Father Sher-
man. Instead of undertaking the trip
again Father Sherman will attend a we'd
ding of a relative in California, leaving
the post Monday. Father Sherman is a
delightful little man. said Mrs. Chase,
land he had no thought of doing wrong
to the state of Georgia or the SOUTH
Colonel Chase said he did not under
stand how 1t was that the people of the
south objected to the 1906 march to the
sea-" land Father Sherman is absolutely
innocent of any intention to do wrong"
He went on this trip as he was invited
to go. He was invited in December to
take this trip by General Berry, who was
then under General Wade. The trip was
arranged for before Father Sherman was
invited. You know we have a practice
march at Fort Oglethorpe every week
and we thought that 1t would be good
idea to make a march to the sea and ask
Father Sherman to go along, as we
thought he would be glad to go along
over the route taken by his distinguished
father"
Colonel Chase admitted that the news
of this trip would never have been made
public had 1t not leaked out from Spring
field. Ill

Thousands of cases of pelvic catarrh
have been relieved by the internal use Of
Peruna.
If you suffer from catarrh in any form
try bottle of Peruna.
A bottle or two of Peruna taken in the
beginning of the disease will often save
much expense and suffering.
Revised Formula.
For a number of years requests have
come to me from a multitude of grateful
friends, urging that Peruna be given
slight laxative quality. | have been ex-
perimenting with laxative addition for
quite length of time, and now feel graf
flied to announce to the friends of PERU
ma that 1 have incorporated such quail
ty in the medicine which, in my opinion,
can only enhance its we'll known beneh-
cial character.

against the betrothal system.
THE other day | saw in daily paper

were in singular conformity with similar
ideas which we would expect to find ex-

women are now demanding to be al

want to make addresses. Some fathers
have even dressed their daughters In boys
clothing SO that they could lead them
forth and let them see the world.
Cause of Chinese Boycott.
"The Chinese have been mistreated in
this country and that has caused the
boycott. President Roosevelt told me the
other day that he hoped to have the situ-
alton improved soon so as to allow stu
dents and merchants to enter the country
freely. 1t is no more than Justice.
1.-THE relations of missions and mission
aries to the actual situation in China are
so close that there is no reform threaten
ed in China today which cannot be traced
directly or indirectly to the influence of
the missionaries. The gospel is a gospel
of power. Are we to suppose that a
gospel of power has been at work in China
for one hundred years in vain? Never. l
