scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Eruitless-suf.
fcred 10 Years-CompletcIy Cured
by Three Boxes of Cuticura.

ny 1uEet DUKES VI SutiCurd.
Small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs and shortly afterwards both of
those limbs became so sore that could
scarcely walk. The sores began to heal,
but small, scaly eruptions appeared. The
itching was SO severe that l would scratch
the sores until the blood began to flow.
After sufered thus about ten years l
made o renewed effort to effect lure.
The eruptions by this time had appeared
on every part of my body except my face
and hands. The best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no relief.
Finally my hair began to fall out and l
was rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything else,
! thought l would try Cuticura Ointment
and ,CuticWa Soap. After using three
boxes l was completely cured, and my hair
was restored, after fourteen years of suf-
fering and IN expenditure of ct least $50 to
$50 in vainly endeavoring to find cure.

CALLING FOR INFORMATION.
Several Resolutions Adopted by the
Senate.


The Senate today agreed to a resolution
offered by Mr.. Tillman calling on the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. the Attorney General,
the Secretary Of the Interior, the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor and the Secretary
Of Agriculture and the interstate commerce
commission to Immediately report 1.-The
number and names of all persons employed
by them or under their authority during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1905. or who are
now so employed as special agents, attor-
neys, inspectors or otherwise employed,
where no specific appropriation in detail
has been made to Congress for such en-
ployment; the amount paid or to be paid as
compensation and allowances, and a specific
statement as to the nature Of the employ
ment in each case, and whether such per-
sons are in the classified service
The resolution also asks for information
to the funds from which such employees
are paid.
Another resolution was agreed to, at the
instance of Senator Warren, calling on the
President for the report of the Keep COM
mission upon the methods Of the admins
tration of the Department of the Interior. -
Still another resolution was agreed to, at
the suggestion of Senator Culberson, calling
on the interstate commerce commission for
the data submitted to 1t by Special Employe
Hanks, who has stated that passenger and
freight rates could, without hardship to the
roads, be reduced 10 per cent.
Mr.. Culberson incidentally remarked that
1t was reported that the number Of special
employees of the various departments had
increased from 700 to 5000.
AS to his own resolution, he said the an
swer Of the commission to the statement of
Mr. Hanks was unsatisfactory because the
information furnished by Hanks to the COM
mission was not given to the Senate.

HEREDITARY INSANITY.
Plea Urged in Behalf Of Lieut.. John S.
Hamilton.

Elijah Theall counsel for Second Lieut.
John S. Hamilton, 23d Infantry, who was
sentenced by court-martial to dismissal
from the military service and Imprisonment
for eighteen months on charges of conduct
unbecomng an officer and gentleman, en-
bezzlement Of 81. 100 of company funds, dis
obedience of orders and desertion, has sub
mitted to Judge Advocate General Davis
a brief containing a strong plea in behalf
of his client. This is based on allegations
that the accused is mentally unbalanced,
and that insanity is hereditary in his fam
lily. A twin brother formerly an officer of
the army, was judically declared insane, his
father was insane, and a paternal uncle
has been confined for the past forty years
and is now confined for the treatment of
the insane.
The President has promised to give this
case his personal attention, in view of his
acquaintance with the family history, and
Judge Advocate General Davis is conse-
quently reviewing very carefully the pro-
ceedings of the court-martial as a basis for
action upon the application for clemency.

CHAIRMAN sHoNTs BACK.
Favors Building Panama Canal by
Contract

Chairman Shonts of the isthmian canal
commission returned to Washington last
night and was at his offices today. He I'M
qualfiedly expressed himself in favor of
building the canal by contract. He said
that the great advantages accrung there
from would be the witnessing of immediate
results. Contractors he said, "have
solved the labor problem. They can get
what they want and we can only get what
is left. Then, again, in constructing the
canal they could bring into play their vast
combined experience, skill and organza-
ton, and this necessarily would effect the
completion of the work in much sooner
time than if matters were allowed to go on
as they are
Mr.. Shonts said he was much surprised to
read the statement that Chief Engineer
Stevens had indicated his intention to re-
sign should the work be done by contract.
He said that Mr.. Stevens always had
favored the contract plan and only recently
had written him commencing the idea in
the strongest possible terms.
The building of the canal by contract,
said Mr.. Shonts, could not possible inter-
fere with Mr.. Stevens, because his author
ity would be supreme, and the contract SO
expressly provides.

GOVERNOR IS KILLED
ASSASSIN SHOT WHILE TRYING
TO ESCAPE.

PENZA, Russia, February SIS. A. Alex
androvsky, governor of Penza, was shot
and killed as he was leaving the theater
last night.
The assassin fed, was pursued and kept
up a running fight, during which he was
fatally wounded. He died in the hospital
last night. The assistant chief Of police
Of Penza and two other persons were
wounded by the terrorist before lullet
brought him down.
The deceased governor was commissioner
to the st. Louis exposition and later head
Of the Red Cross service in the field during
the war between Russia and Japan.
NJ. Alexandrovsky was an official of the
finance ministry of Russia when, in August
19O3 he was appointed Russian commits
soner-general to the st. Louis exposition.
He arrived in New York August 10 of the
same year for fifteen days stay in this
country in connection with the work es-
tablishng the headquarters of the Russian
exhibit. On his return to St. Petersburg
NJ. A1exandrovsky was placed in charge Of
the Red Cross field work and in February,
1904 started for the far east and estab-
lished his headquarters at Hardin.
Late in December, 1904, M Alexan-
drovsky was replaced by Prince Vassilitch-
koff at the head of the Red Cross in the
field, his removal, 1t was understood at the
time, being due to scandals which had
arisen in connection with the Red Cross
service. General Kuropatkin, however, Of
fered him a high position in the hospital
service. which NJ. Alexandrovsky declined.
He Indignantly denied the charges of mis-
appropriation of Red Cross funds, which
had been made in the press. A few days
later he challenged Baron Tiesenhausen and
Count Massinpuskin, his principal accusers,
who, however, refused to fight him until he
disproved the charges brought against him.
Subsequently M. Alexandrovsky was ap-
pointed governor of PenZa.
The name of Governor AleXandrovsky
was mentioned last November in connection
with the grain scandals, for which Assis-
tant Minister Of the Interior Gurko was re-
moved from the direction of the relief.

don't know exactly what is the purport of
our mission Mayor Schmitz said. "The
President did not say what the nature of
the hearing would be further than that we
were to have a discussion on the Japanese
matter. I suppose it will be discussed be-
fore the President and his cabinet. We
probably can give good deal of informa-

of San Francisco that has not yet reached

an entirely satisfactory settlement during

LET NEW MEXICO
MAKE THE FIGHT.

Nogales (Ariz.) Oasis.
Thinking over this problem of state
hood, it has struck The Oasis that the
best plan will be to let New Mexico
make the fight for statehood in the
coming congress, and Arizona do all
that can be done to aid that issue
Then, when New Mexico is landed in
the fold safely, let Arizona grid up
her loins and go after statehood upon
ner own account, with two senators
and couple of congressman from
the state of New Mexico to help her.
Two statehood bills before the coming
congress might lead to complications
that would defeat statehood for either
territory Don't forget that the senate
committee on Territories is inimical
to separate statehood for the two ter
ritories. And, with two bills, for ad-
mission of both Arizona and New
Mexico, there might be a move in that
committee to amend by joining the
two in such way that the question
of jointure would be up again. If
bill so amended should go up to the
Presidents he would have to approve
it and force again the issue of joint
ure, or disapprove, and kill all hope
of statehood for either territory. Let
them tarry at Jericho until their
boards grow
