Washington, March 17.-Momentar
lily in the day there was lapse in the
vigilance of those who would prevent
legislation taking away the rank OF
lieutenant general in the army, and
the chances of Generals Corbin and
Macarthur for promotion. Mr.. Prince
of Illinois, whose bill abolishing the
grade is the regular order of business
slipped into the legislative breach
There was an immediate call to arms
and for three hours the friends of the
generals filibustered against the bill
The net result was that the previous
question was ordered on it and an
amendment offered by Mr.. Grosvenor
which extends the time of the opera
ton of the bill so as to allow the pro
motion of the two officers, is pending.
On this amendment the house was
voting, but without a quorum, when
adjournment was had until Monday
when the vote will be completed.

Monday.

Washington, March 20.-The house
yesterday reached a compromise on
the bill for abolishing the grade OF
lieutenant general in the army, by
providing that it shall not become eff
fective until Oct IL next, in order
that Generals Corbin and Macarthur
may be promoted before their retire
ment.
An important bill, declared to be
the first step toward a reorganization
of the consular service, was passed.
During the completion of the gen
eral debate on the legislative bill Mr..
Grosvenor of Ohio came to the de-
Tense of the army in the Mount Dajo
battle and was replied to briefly by
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader,
who asserted that all criticism was

bate was general
There were three speeches on the

Washington, March 16.-The senate
yesterday continued consideration OF
the railroad rate question by listening
to the reading of the report on the
house bill by Mr.. Tillman, and to 9
speech on that measure by Mr.. Mel
son.
Mr. Tillman's report was read at the
request of Mr. Aldrich, who saia that
he was curious to hear the opinion OF
the South Carolina senator.
Brief attention was given TO the
message of the president transmitting
the letter of the secretary of war rela
tive to the recent Moro battle. MI
Bacon spoke of the killing OF the
Moros as slaughter" and Mr.. Lodge
deprecated criticism until the facts
should be known.
A large number of private pension
bills and some other semi-prlvate
bills were passed.
The killing Of women and children
at Mount Dajo by the American forces
under Gen. Leonard Wood was severe

Washington, March 81. - In less
than twenty minutes the senate yes
terday voted away $140,00O.000 Of the
public funds. The sum is carried by
the pension appropriation bill, which
brief document was the subject OF
very little discussion.
The railroad rate bill was laid
aside and the major portion of the
time devoted to the Notifications ap
preparation bill.
The house of representatives yes
terday conducted business with q
microscope in the one hand and the
bill appropriating salaries for it's Of
ficers and employees in the other. The
result was that although five and one
half hours were spent in reading the
bill for amendment, less than twenty
five pages were completed. The
spirit of economy in little things was
all-absorbing.

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.

then | began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum

My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and 1t
was not long before l could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks I would take a hot bath every
night and then apply the Cut1cura
