IN THE SENATE.
Senator Smith Wants Water Rights
Settled In New Canadian Treaty.

Washington. Jan. 31.--After deVoting
over four hours to consideration o.
the Canadian Waterways treaty today
the Senate adjGiirnel without having
made any substantial progress in tie
confirmation of the instrument.
The treaty probably will be consider
cd daily until it is voted on. Most of
the executive session was consumed
by William Alden Smith, who insisted
that ths treaty should not be ratified
without Il provision fixing a division OF
the interests of Canada and, the United
States in the 6,203.000 tons horsepower
proNiueG by the rapids on the s..
MaryS river.
He showed that only one per cent.
OF the flow of the river is required to
operate the locks at Sault Ste Marie,
leaving the remainder of the vast flow
to be utilized for power purposes. To
leave this division of the water power
undetermined. he declared. would be to
leave a vcXing question open for tine
future and he made PLAIN his deter
mination to fight the treaty.
If. as matter Of right, he said, IS
Fer cent. of this power belongs to the
United States. as he was satisfied it
did. he wanted that fact specified in
the treaty.
In the development of the trans
mission of power he insisted it would
he possible to utilize all of this vast
energy For mining and manufacturing
purposes on the American side of the
st. Mary's river and he did not wish
to have the industries of his state Grip
pied by failure in the treaty to con-
serve American interests.
Lodge defended the treaty On ground
THAT the disposition of water rights
related to question of boundary and
could be settled later In this view
Lodge WAS supported by Carter OF Mon

Wheeler and Representatives Mar
shall Eurlcigh and Hersry, in regard
to the matter of a substitute for the
Stursis bill, should should that meas
ure be repealed by the present Leg
islature. Speaker Weeks presided at
the caucus and the discussion deVel-
oped the fact that there were sufficient
differences of opinion so that 1t was
not advisable to take action on the
report of the committee at this meet
ing SO further adjournment was taken
for one week.
While no definite statement was
given out by those in charge OF the
caucus, it is known that three propo-
sitions We're presented by the commit
tee, all to go before the people on
referendum in September, 1908: Inc
present Sturgis law, the Eaton Dill
providing for the removal OF sherlffs
not doing their duty, and the Hersey
bill providing for removal of county
ATTORNEYS under similar circumstances.
1t is understood that while the bulk
of those present at the caucus We're
in~favor of some referendum measure,

Fowler of this city, and an old-time
railroad engineer. died at Providence
hospital Saturday night as the re-
suit of being run down by train of
the San Jose line of the Southern Pa
cific Company near Newark. He was
riding from Dumbarton point to his
home in Newark on bicycle.
Fowler had completed his work
and was riding in the same direction
as the train which was being backed
along the track At this point the
rails are far apart and sort of path
runs between. 1t is supposed that On
account Of the engine being on the
rear end Of the train the unfortunate
engineer did not hear its approach.
He was removed to Providence hos
pital but died Saturday night
The caboose and engine were de-
tached and impressed into service to
bring the injured man to Oakland. 1t
was found at the hospital that the
skull had been fractured.
] Mr. Fawler was one of the Oldest
locomotive engineers in the country,
having for over forty years been in
the employ of the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy road. He retained his
membership in the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers of iowa, being
a member of the Keokuk division.
After coming to this state he took
charge of the engines in the South

WEAK PEOPLE
NEED A TONIC
Strength for the Days Work
Depends Upon Good Red
Blood to Moorish the
BODY.

There are thousands of people, who
are without ambition or strength to do
their days work and who are always
tired cut, have but little appetite and a
poor digestion, cannot get refreshing
nights sleep and are subject to head
aches, backaches and nervousness be-
cause their blood is impure.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills give quick re-
lief and permanently cure such men and
women because of their direct action on
the blood, which they purify and build
up to it's normal strength. As the blood
becomes pure and red it strengthens the
muscles, tones up the nerves, makes the
stomach capable of digesting the food
and repairs the wastes causedby growth
and work. In word it gives perfect
health.
The usefulness in every family of
safe and effective tonic is shown by the
following statement of Mrs. A. B.
Gates, of No. 807 East Second street,
Duluth, Mimi.
