Massachusetts. has introduced a bill,
framed at the White House, to cover
the terms of the agreement, and the
Ways and Means Committee win prob
ably consider the measure this week.
Still Talk Extra Session.
There is little doubt that the agree
ment can be ratified in the next Con-
gress, but the President does not care
to wait till then. Many conferences
are in progress to surry the proceed
ure. and. as usual under like conditions,
there is much talk about an extra ses-
sion. But that is intended more as a
threat for the purpose of squirting the
recalcitrant Republican Senators to
action.
The agreement is undoubtedly de-
parture in the Republican tariff pro-
gram, and there is wide divergence of
opinion about its wisdom from a polti-
cal standpoint The growers of potatoes
in Aroostook County. Me-, declare
that the placing of their product on
the free list will depreciate the value
of real estate. The fishermen Of
Gloucester Mass, declare that free fish
will ruin an ancient industry and have
been flying flags at half-mast with the
union down.
The President takes these demonstra-
tons good naturally and continues tC
insist upon ratification. 1t all makes
the liveliest situation Washington has
had in many days.

DOCTORS FAILED AGAIN
THE GREAT KIDNEY
REMEDY SAVED HER.

Some time ago 1 became ill with kid
ney trouble. which the doctors called a
bad case. fearing it might turn into
gravel. At first it began with pains in
the back and the urine was sometimes
like mud. and then again it was full of
brickdust. l tried the doctors remedies,
but they did not do me any good.
| then purchased DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, and it helped me right along and
cured me of a sickness that the doctors
could not cure.
