cific coast as a transport for several years.
DR.. Rixey recently presented to the Soc
retary a Recommendation that the Solace
be fitted out as a hospital vessel. Almost
simultaneously Admiral Pillsbury submit
ted Recommendation that the Solace be
fitted out as a parent ship. The subject
was discussed by the general board. and
it was recommended that some suitable
Available vessel at once be fitted out to
convoy and otherwise take care of the
rapidly growing torpedo fiO.illa on the
Pacific. AS the Solace happened to be
the only suitable available vessel on the
Pacific. It has finally been decided that
she shall be adapted for that use. It will

Missouri Senator Asserts Lawless-

One Race.


The Brownsville debate was continued
In the Senate today. A careful analysis
Of the testimony before the committee on
military affairs was presented by Senator
Warner of Missouri, who has been the
leader in that body In defending the &C
tion Of the President in discharging With
out honor three companies Of the 25th
Infantry. The attendance both on the
floor ard In the galleries was large, and
the closest attention was given through
out the speech notwithstanding the fact
that 1t was largely legal presentation Of
the case.
BEFORE beginning his speech Senator
Warner said In reply to question by
Senator Clapp that he believed between
eight and fifteen men took part in the
shooting. He also remarked that. he was
of the opinion that the guilty soldiers had
accomplices among the troops
At the close OF Senator Warmers speech
he was warmly congratulated by both
democrats and republicans, although
there was no such demonstration as was
given Senator Foraker last week by SEN
ators and occupants of the galleries, when
he ended his speech presenting the op-
posite views Of the affair.

Mr.. Warner. ''The surviving veterans of

The Missouri senator quoted freely
throughout his discourse from testimony

charge that the negro soldiers shot up the
town.

1T is to be regretted" he said. that
a studious and systematic effort has been

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says 1t Weakens the Heart.

''In my opinion" says we'll
knowa German physician, mo one
can truthfully say that coffee agrees
with him, rs It has long since been
proven that caffeine, contained in
coffee, is an Injurious, poisonous
substance which weakens and de.
generates the heart muscles.
For t is reason the regular use
OF coffee, soon or late, causes con-
dition of uniernourishment, which
leads to various kinds of organic dis
ease.
Convinced o. this fact, have
often sought for some healthful bev-
erage to use instead OF coffee. Al
last I found the thing desired in

bid people using coffee. whose hearts
were affected, I have recommended
