Travelling Men Welcomed By Messrs.
 Mcintyre and Kennedy.
 The convention was called to order by President Isaac H. DeWees of Mont gomery at 12:30 o'clock in the spacious dining hall of the New Exchange hotel. Secretary E. L. Higdon of Birmingham was in his seat.
 The meeting was opened with an in- vocation by Rev. F. E. Cobbs, rector of St. Johns Episcopal Church.
 On being introduced by the president. City Attorney c. P. Mcintyre, in the absence of Mayor w. M. Teague, deliv- cred brief address of welcome in the name of the city of Montgomery.
 MT. Mcintyre said that commerce. had performed wonders for the benefit of mankind. Under its influence preju- dices and wars were on the decrease and innumerable blessings had there by been bestowed upon the human race. The United States had selected more practical matters of commerce than probably any other nation. and a great deal of the credit for this was due the travelling men of the United States. To a large extent this commerce was due largely to the energy, activity and intelligence of the travelling men and they were pre- -eminently right in or anizing themselves into an association for their protection.

 DrummePs to the City.

In behalf of Post D." Selma, c. C. Cleveland was called upon and respon- ded briefly, saying that the Selmians were all glad to be in Montgomery and that he endorsed the sentiments of the other speakers.
 National Officers Introduced.
 Louis T. LeBeaume of St. Louis. Na- tional Secretary and Treasurer of the organization, and W. o. Hudson of New Orleans, one of the national di- rectors. were introduced by the presi- dent and each of them was asked to speak few words to the convention.
 Mir. LeBeaume was the first to speak. His address was informal and consum- ed about five minutes.
 Since he had been in Alabama, he said, he had seen nothing he could not compliment, This was his first visit to Montgomery and he was agreeably surprised with the city. Tn his opinion, Montgomery afforded q large field for greater organization and he believed that, with the close of the present con- vention, a new era of interest in the Travellers Protective Association would dawn. He urged better, larger and more compact organizations
 The remarks of Mir. Hudson were short. He pointed to the enthusiasm manifested in the address of Mir. Comp ton and suggested that some of the enthusiasm should be injected into other members. He deplored the fact that Alabama had shown such little progress during the banner year of the travellers Protective Association. He closed with a few happy words and was applauded by the audience.
 President DeWees then announced the appointment of a committee on cre- dentials, composed of L. c. Cardinal. Montgomery; H. B. Kennedy. Birming- ham; J. W. Weiss, Mobile, and o. F, Smith.
 At 1:15 o'clock. the convention re- eessed until 230 o'clock.

 The names of hotels in various towns of Alabama were used and they were freely criticised. A special report waa submitted on the Royal Hotel in Ope- lika where the drummers of the Stata are now taking steps to build hotel owing to their claim that they have not received fair treatment. The re- port was accompanied by letter from the proprietor of the Royal Ho- tel explaining his position.

Wednesday, April is.

Washington. This was "SuSpen-
sion" day in the house and a number
OF important measures were passed,
notable among them being the bill
permitting the withdrawal from bond,
tax free of domestic alcohol when
rendered unfit for beverage or liquid
medical uses by mixture with suit
able denaturinZing materials.
Mr.. Curtis of Kansas presented a
concurrent resolution admitting to
correct the bill for final settlement of
the affairs of the five civilized tribes.
One amendment proposed, however,
is entirely new, providing for the sale
Of all buildings now or heretofore
used for governmental, school or 9TH
er tribal purposes.
Mr.. Dearmond of Missouri opposed
the resolution on the ground that leg
islation by resolution is dangerous.
The rules were suspended and the
resolution adopted.
Mr.. Shartel of Missouri called I'D
the bill amending the revised statutes
relating to national banks. National
banks have heretofore been limited
in making loans so that they could
not loan to exceed 10 per cent of their
capital to any one concern. The bill
which Mr.. Shartell called up adds the
surplus to the stock for loan purposes
provided no loan shall exceed 20 per
cent of the capital stock. The bill
was passed 1873 to Z.
bill for the diversion of water
from the Sacramento river, California.
for irrigation purposes was passed.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri favored the
bill. IF the roseate predictions of its
most enthusiastic advocates are full
niled,' he said. we will witness
veritable Aladdin's lamp working its
myriad wonders beforS our eyes in
this rrosaic age. If even half of them
are realized we will see revolution
in lighting. heating and motor power.
The bill was passed, 224 to 4.

When the blood is impoverished the
| nerves starye and neuralgia or something
more serious swiftly follows. Nervous
people are generally pale people. By
supplying through the blood those vital
elements that the nerves need, DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People have
performed those remarkable cures that
make it impossible for any nervous suf-
ferer to neglect them.
A recent case is that of Mrs. Peter
Morrissette, of No. 315 Eleventh street,
Alpena, Mich, who writes as follows !:
After one of my children was born had
kind of paralysis. 1 was very weak
and my mouth was little crooked. 1
was always tired and was so nervous
that I could not bear to hear dog bark
or q bell ring-even the little bird in its
cage would annoy me. My heart fut-
tered a great deal and l had dizzy spells.
I was not able to be left alone.
"My doctor gave me different kinds of
medicine, changing it several times.
When it was evident that he could not
help me he said he did not understand
my case. This was three years ago and
l was very much discouraged, when my
brother, who had taken DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, recommended them to me. I
tried them and noticed a change for the
better when [ was taking the second box.

ALCOHOL BILL PASSES HOUSE
BY VOTE OF 22e To7.
MANY OTHER BILLS PASSED
Curtis Gets Five Tribes Bill Amended
Bill Regarding Coastwise Laws of
United States to hiIipoines Was
Passed.
Thursday, April 10.

Washington. - Senator Beveridge
and Representative Brick of Indiana
have returned from the Republican
convention of their state, and arrange
ments have been made for another
conference on the statehood bill.
Senator Newlands of Nevada has been
named in place of Senator Patterson,
who attended the first conferences. so
that all conferees are now in Wash
1ngton. 1t is expected that the next
meeting will be on Thursday.
There is less hope of an agreement
now than when the bill was first in
conference. Inquiry among senators
who supported the Foraker amend
ment has developed the fact that they
are rather tenacious for the last
amendment, and insist upon a sepa-
rate vote. The house conferees seem
more disposed to stand for their orig
inal bill than before, which would
mean no agreement.
The bill making appropriation for
the support of the government of the
District of Columbia was reported to
the house from the appropriations
committee. The measure carries a to-
tai of $9,131, 2S7. The bill requires
the local street car companies to
sprinkle the streets on which their
lines run. 1t also carries an appro-
priation of 100000 for a tuberculosis
hospital for the INDECENT poor of the
district.
After the conference report on the
five civilized tribes bill had been
agreed to in-the senate, and just be-
fore it was called up in the house, it
was discovered that clerical error
had been made in the senate commit
tee by striking out the words 1.-The
