i
Sec remarks made by Benjamin Travers, F. R. C
S. Speaking of those diseases, and diseases arising
from the excess of mercury, be states that no reme.
dy is equal to the Extract of Sarsaparilla; Its power
is extraordinary, more so than auy other drug I am
acquainted with. It is, in the strictest sense, a
tonic, with this Invaluable attribute, that' it is ap
plicable to a state of the system so sunken and yet
so irritable as renders other substances of the tonic
class unavailable or injurious.

H. T. HELMBOLD Esteemed Friend: We con
gratulate yon on having the handsomest, and, at
the same time, the MOST EFFECTIVE PILL that
we have ever known for the purpose intended.
WM. R. WARN SR.. & CO.
II. T. nELMBOLD will remark, In conclusion,
that his remedies are the result of long and careful
study. The Fluid Extracts have been before the
public twenty years; tue sale of them in that time
proves their value. All have been benefltted by
them who followed my instructions, and to-day they
stand UNEQUALLED In the extent of their sale and
UNSURPASSED by any Medicament In tie Dispen
satory of the United States, not excepting a single
HERB, ROOT, PLANT, or scientific preparation.
Pharmaceutical I claim all mine to be, and have
never patented a single one.
To dispel any impression or prejudice that might
exist Ua the minds of many against my Preparations
from the publicity given through advertising, and
that I am and have been a druggist for a period of
twenty years, and more conclusively to prove this
see letter:
From the largest Manufacturing Chemists in the
World.
November 4, 1954.
I am acquainted with Mr. H. T. Helinbold; he
occupied the drug store opposite my residence, and
was successful In conducting the business where
others had not been equally so before him. I have
been favorably impressed with his character and
enterprise.
WILLIAM WKlUlITMAX,

Chemists, Ninth and Brown streets, Phlla.
ALL STAND ON THEIR MERITS.
The Pill I have thought of offering to the ailllcted
for ten years.
They are now perfect, and I shall stake my time,
money, and fame on their effectiveness. The in
viting style in which the Pill itself is made, tue bot
tie, label, wrapper all show with what care they
have been prepared. After examination, no ffng
llBh or French preparation will show greater care,
and I am really proud of them.
Instead of the nauseous-looking, carelessly-pre
pared Pills vended generally and put up lu wooden
boxes, and made generally or offered by those
having no experience as physicians, druggists, or

offered by your obedient servant,

Claims Agntust the Vnlted States.
The letter of tho Secretary of State transmitted
with the brief niesi-Hge of the President to-day to
tne senate, togetner witn a book written oy lion.
W '.:liam Whiting, late Solicitor of the War Depart
ment, says that from time to time reports were
made by jur. u, niting on claims preferred by
foreign subjects against this Government, growing
out oi the war of insurrection during 1801 and 1805.
So far as the re-examlnattons have been completed
in nineteen cases, and the points in the more im
portant ones nave been made public, while many
others are contaiLed in Whiting's work on the war
powers of the Government.
The Senate are referred to the casps printed in
tbe designated pages of that book. These claims
include some irom British aud others from French
subjects. As a sample: A. Kerabtn, a British sub
ject, preferred a claim for property seized by order
of General Butler. Mr. Whiting, in his opinion,
gays this claim was treated as all similar claims
ought to be treated, the claimant not acting the
part oi a neutial British subject; and so lu kludred
cases.

Tne following renolntlons were adopted:
Jienolwifl, That the press of the SUte and country,
actli.g for the whole people, have a deep Interest n
prompt and efficient cable servl -e, and that any iis
crlmitiBtion whereby mem-ages are delayed, sent out
of time, or In any way displaced so as to delay ttieir
transmission, is a breach of faith, violation of con
tract, ai d a prent wrong to the public.
Jttsnlvetl, IVatthe detention of messages of the
New York Associated Press in the London cabto
ofltce, whereby important commercial aud general
liens despatches are delivered from one to seven
teen hours arter despatches Hied at a later hour
than those addressed to the New YorR Associated
I'rees were received, Is not only a violation of law
and equity, but deserves forfeiture of the charter of
the company.
Hesohed, That unless such discrimination is
promptly forbidden, disavowed, aud punished, the
pub.lc ean have no ceutldeBce in any cable service
where such wrongs are tolerated or excused. If one
party or class of persons can have their despatches
delayed In place of another class, then such tele
giaplilc service becomes rather an agency for specu
latino and private advantage than a corporation for
the benefit of the public.
Itctolcea, That we express our sympathy and earn
est co-operaUon with the New YorK Associated
Press in their florts to expose and reform abuses
of the cable service, and that a copy of these resolu
tions be forwarded to its members for publication.

Extraordinary Session of the Senate.

Tbe Viee-PresideDt lid before thn bodv an &nswnr frnm
the President to former i evolution calling lor a ooyy of
the ropoit of william VI iting, lute Solicitor of the ar
l'epaituicnt, containing a list ot claims from foreign sub
jects growing out of transactions of the war of tbe He
bellion. The Vice-President, in rep'yio? to Mr. Sumner, said the
reiMirt was in the printed vo unie transmitted, and two
written p-ges from tho Secretary of State accompanied.
About, tbitty hvo pages of tbe book related to tbete
claims.-
Mr. Sumner thought that as the information was not
now generally accessible it ought to be piiutea, with tbe
letter of the Secretary of Mute.
The printing was ordered and, then on motion of Mr.
Cameron the heoate went into executive session.
At ten minutea past one o'clock Messrs. White and
Kamrdell wee brought into the Semite under arrest.
Air. Carpenter, trom the select committee, ottered a
revolution tbut required tbe Vice-President to propound
the question to tbetn, Wbst excuse tbey have for nj.
answering certain interrogations reUtive to tbe prema
ture publication of the treaty, and whether ttiey were now
prepaied to ULSwer all proper questions asked by tbe
committee?
Mr. (inrpentor made a statement showing the un
doubted right of the tscnute to mtke the interrogation,
and tbe impropriety of making public matters of such vast
importance.
Hesuid there were two courses, either of which they
niUKt pursue. First, tbe Hen.te must go forward and compel
obedience to its rules, or confess in 1 be face of tbe world
its want ef nerve and weakness.
Mr. l'enton offered a substitute for tbe pending resolu
tion, rtquiriig the question to be propounded as fol
lows :
Did you receive a copy of the treaty eithor from a Sena
tor or tbe clerk or secietury of a .Senator, or any officer or
employe of tbe Senate, or any member of his family?
'1 his, Mr. fronton said, was as far aa they nuubt to ro.
Mr. YVilsnn supported tb substitute, speaking in favor
of a fre press, and saying this proposition would vindi
cate the Senato, and there tbey i ught to stop,
Mr. Motion took similar ground.
Mr. 'i'burman said that if aojbody was responsible for
the rublioation of what purported to be tue treaty, it was
tbe manavin ' editor of the paper in wbieb it appeared,
lie should vote for Mr. t euton's substitute, though be
did not believe it was logically correct.
Mr. Tipton advoouted the fullest freedom of the press,
and would tand by the correspondents.
Mr. Carpenter opposed tbe substitute.
