son affair was the chief topic of dis
cussion in the senate yesterday. 1t

tation of the bill led Senator Tillman

minated that he wished to call before

Dlied that he thought there would be

lRssume Of the Weeks
Proceedings.
Tuesday.

Washington, Jan. s. - Senator Aid,
rich yesterday introduced his curren'
cy bill, which has been a subject for
discussion among the members of the
committee on finance for some days.
He had the bill read to the senate and
announced that the committee would
be glad to consider in connection with
it all bills that senator's might desire
to introduce. He assured Senator Gull
berson that his resolution would re.
ceive attention.
At LAO the senate adjourned until
tomorrow to permit more work by
committees.
The usual resolution referring the
presidents annual message to the sew
eral committees furnished the occa'
sion in the house of representatives
yesterday for a number Of addresses,
mostly by members on the Democratic
side. These covered a variety of sub
cial attention were by Representatives
Sheppard of Texas and Willett of New
York. The former not only made a
plea for the restoration Of the legend
In God we trust on American coins,
but discussed the cruise of the Ameri'
can battleship feet and referred to a
possible conflict with Japan.
Mr.. Willett placed all the blame for
the recent financial panic on Presi'
dent Roosevelt, whom he denounced
in severe terms.

ARE TOO BUSY IN LAND CASES
Colorado Congressman. Makes an Al
tack on the Administration.

Washington, Jan. 14.-In a personal
letter which he addressed to the presi
dent, the vice president. Speaker Can
non and all members Of congress, the
justices of the supreme court, mem,
bers of the presidents cabinet and the
Washington newspaper correspond.
ents, George w. Cook, Republican con
gresham at large from Colorado, sc,
verely arraigns the administration for
its course in prosecuting alleged in.
fractions of the public land laws In
Coloroda.
Congressman Cook insists that great
injustice has been done to a number
of Colorado's most honorable, upright
and law abiding business men, in
that they have been unnecessarily
branded as criminals through over.
zealousness of the government in or.
dering indictments without furnishing
proper evidence.
He cites the recent decision Of Fed
eral Judge Robert E. Lewis at Denver,
in which he quashed the indictments
against some thirty citizens, to show
that government prosecutors were
~overactive in their efforts to punish
land frauds.

re
General Demand

OF the Well Informed OF the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup OF Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

NEW YORK FIRE FATAL TO FIVE
Firemen Are Caught by Falling Floors
and TumbIlng Walls.

CIV seftiS''iS 'e'~s
New York, Jan. IL. Four fremen
went to their deaths last night when
| they responded to a fire that ruined
the Parker building, a t~welve-story
business structure, occupying the
| block between East Eighteenth and
| Nineteenth streets, on Fourth avenue.
Fought by half the firemen of Man
haitian and apparatus that blocked the
streets for blocks, the flames were
never controlled and only with diff.
Guilty were confined to the building in
which they originated. Floor after
floor gave way and dropped to the
basement, and beneath these and
crumbling walls no less than thirty
firemen were caught and either killed
outright or seriously injured.
Four Fail to Respond.
When the fire had burned itself out
and the firemen's roll was called four
men failed to respond.
One fireman was removed, dying, to
the hospital, and two others were dan
gerously hurt.
The monetary loss was estimated at
So, 600, 900. The fire was one of the
most spectacular as well as disas-
trous in recent years. From start to
finish it's course was marked by heart
rending scenes, sensational escapes
and acts of heroism.
Spectacular Rescue.
On the top floor, In the Suffolk En-
craving company's establishment, six
men were working. Their escape was
cut off and they fed to the roof.
Flames had surrounded them on three
sides, and they were in imminent
danger of death when rescued by
mean Of a life line shot from a NOR
tar gun and manned by a hook and
ladder company on the root of the
Florence building adjoining. Down
this rope, hand owe hand, the six men
dropped to safety
Retreat Is Cut OFF.
Seven firemen ran I'D to the fifth
floor of the building after extension
ladders had Deen raised to the win
dows of hat story to make possible
the firemen's retreat. After a fruitless
effort to stay the flames at the place
of origin the iremen were driven to
the windows, only to find that the
tops of the ladders had been burned,
cutting off their only retreat. Three
of the seven made a desperate effort
to reach the roof. They were not
seen again, and are supposed to be
dead in the ruins. The other four
were rescued by men who at the risk
of their W lives ran up scaling lad
ders and dragged the more or less
burned firemen from the windows.

Friday.

Washington, Jan. 11--The house of
representatives yesterday resumed its
old activity and for over five hours
transacted business of public nature.
Material progress was made with the
bill to codify, revise and amend the
criminal laws of the United States.
An attempt by Mr.. Littlefield of
Maine to amend the bin SO as to af-
ford protection TO aliens in the matter
of civil rights failed by a decisive vote
after considerable discussion.
The feature of the session was a
brief address by Mr.. Burleson of Tex
as, who credited Senator Foraker and
other Republicans with having charg-
ed the president with responsibility
for the recent financial panic.

O'BRItN HELPING THE JAPS
AMBASSADOR is NOT FORCING
Willy MTkADo TO SIGN THE
PAPERS.

Washington, Jan. IL. - Considering
the smartness with which exchanges
are progressing between America and
Japan, relative to the adjustment OF
questions growing out of the immigra.
ton of Japanese laborers into the
United States, the officials Of the state
department are puzzled to account for
the publication In various foreign cap
itals, as well as in this country, of re-
ports calculated to convey the impress
sion hat there is serious friction be.
tween the two countries ever this sub
1ect.
The latest Of these reports that the
Japanese foreign ONCE is reluctant to
accede to a demand" of Ambassador
O'Brien that an agreement to restrict
Japanese coolie immigration into the
United States be reduced to writing.
meets with unqualified contradiction
at the state department.
No Treaty Wanted.
Mr.. O'Brien is. merely aiding the
Japanese oficials to perfect interna.
tional regulations that will serve to
stop the indiscriminate immigration
evil. He is not expected to negotiate
any treaty with Japan on this subject,
OF ven to secure a modus vivendi, or
anything In the nature of the written
agreement referred to in some Of the
press dispatches.
He has, under instructions from the
state department, acquainted the Jap
anese government with the fact that
the measures adopted in Japan last
spring, following the undertaking of
the Japanese government to restrict
undesirable immigration to the United
States by a careful regulation of the
issue of passports, have proved utterly
ineffective.
Japanese Amazed.
The Japanese officials were sur
prised at the figures presented by Mr..
O'Brien illustrating not only the cor.
tinuance of the coolie immigration
into America, but its startling in.
crease, even after the adoption Of the
Japanese restrictive policy.
Therefore these Japanese officials
have been endeavoring to frame regu.
lations that shall be effective and in
the course of that effort they have nat.
urally communicated freely with the
American ambassador.

apprised, and which make impossible

be steady and consistent, conserving
what is good and safeguarding the OPP
