Catarrh
!S .1 blood disease. Until tne poison is
expelled from tho system, there can
bo no enro for this loathsome and
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only
effective treatment Is n thorough course
of Aycr's Snrsnparllla the best of all
blood purifiers. Tho sooner you begin
the better ; delay Is dangerous.
" I was troubled with catarrh for over
two years. I tried various remedies,
and was treated by a number of physi
cians, but received 110 benefit until I
began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me of
tliis troublesome complaint and com
iiletely restored my health." Jesse M.
Jltigs, Holuiau's Mills, N. C.
"When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rec
ommended to ino for catarrh, I was In
cllned to doubt its elllcaey. Having
tried so many remedies, with little ben
efit, I had no faith that anything would
euro me. 1 became emaciated from loaa
of appetite and Impaired digestion. I
had nearly lost the sense of smell, and
my system was badly deranged. I was
nbout discouraged, when a friend urged
me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, ond re
ferred me to persons whom it had cured
of catarrh, After taking half a dozen
bottles ot this medicine, I am convinced
that the only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease is through the blood."

FIFTY-P.BST CONGnESg.
Condensed llepart of 1'roeeedlngs In Sesv
ate and Uouse.
Washinotox, Fab. 20. Arguments befon
the bouse were commenced today by repre
sentatives of the various cities ambitious tc
secure the World's falrot 1(193. Mr. Flower,
of New York, opened the ball for New
York, and was followed by Messrs. Cum
mlngs, Tracy and others, Messrs. Ilitt and
Adams, ot Illinois, advocated Chloago'i
claims, and Washington and St. Louis were
well represented. Opposition to any fair
whatever was manifested on the partol
southern members.
Washington, Feb. 21. The exposition
question was warmly debated by the mem
bers of tbe bouse.
There was considerable opposition shown
toward holding a fair at all by a number ol
members, among tbem Mills, of Texas
Morse, of Massachusetts; Peters, of Kansas.
Mr, Mills said an Immense amount ol
business that did not belong to congress bad
been forced upon the representatives of tbi
people. The government bad nothing to dc
with a World's fair. It was a state pro
position. Mr, Mills said that Columbut
bad never seen North America; he never
knew there was such a continent as North
America, lie bad lsft Spain to bunt In
dians; landed at Ban Salvador and goni
back home again. He had come a second, a
third and a fonrth time, and gone back
home without aver knowing of tb existence
of the country that wanted to honor bun.
t'n sir muni I bn tie ktfliL p.. JSjiWfl
proposition. Since 1870 these fairs" had been
Increasing, and If they kept on Increasing
helped by government appropriations, the
people would finally break down under tbe
burden of taxation, lliese fairs could be
held without any help from the govern
ment. If the city, ot Chicago or the city
of New York, Washington or Bt. Louli
wanted a fair its business men could raise
the necessary money, He thought the bill
would pass, and It would bo charged up to
patriotism and to Columbus. Ho supposed
that he would have to cast bis vote for
some particular site, and that vote would be
cast lor Hu IjOuIs. When the question of
passing the bill came up he would cast his
vote against the proposition like a little
man.
Mr. Splnola (N. Y.) pledged his city to
refrain from asking a dollar from tho gov
ernment. He did not approve of the sec
tion of the bill appropriating tl,600,000,and
would vote against It. He dilated upon the
grandeur of New York's financial record;
and, speaking of Its property, said that Its
assessed value equaled that of three states
ot the Union. Mr. Wallace IN. Y.) In ad
vocating New York city said: "We have
the money. We have the site; give us the
fair and we will promise you an exposition
of which every American wilt be proud."
Air. names (fl. .) pleaded earnestly for
New York. A small alTalr, he said, such as
a National Republican convention overtaxed
Chlcngo's accommodations In 1883.
A8IIIN0T0N, Feb. 21, A memorial
signed by about thirty leading bank
ers and merchants of Wall, Broad
way and Nassau streets, New ork city,
was presented in tho senate and house to-day
protesting ngalnst the removal ot the
custom house in that city to Bowling Green,
and against the erection of a custom house
and appraisers' stores on tho Bowling
Green site. The petitioners urge congress
to amend the act of September, ISbS, so ne
to provide merely for the erection of ap
praisers' stores, and that tho secretary of
the treasury be directed to select a site for
tbe stores that will be of easy access to the
Importers and facilitate their business.
August Belmont & Co., Brown Brothers
& Co., Wlnslow Lanier & Co. and J. W.
Heligman & Co, head tbe list of signers to
the petition.
Washington. Feb. 25. The senate today
bad another animated discussion of tbe
charge that Mr. Call had Interpolated re
marks lu the ofilcial report of tbe proceed
ings of the senato. The resolution offered
by Mr. Chandler censuring Mr, Call was
taken up and Mr. Sherman moved Its refer
ence to tho committee on privileges and
elections.
Mr. Call stated, as a matter of personal
privllcgo, that The Washington Post con
tained tin article this morning with head
lines: "Call's Bitter Remarks," "lie Slipped
a Paragraph Into Tho Congressional Rec
ord." That, Mr. Call said, was a fnlsehood.
He had slipped into The Congressional Rec
ord nothing that bad not been in substance
uttered on the floor of the senate. He gave
notice to the senator from New Hampshire,
Tho had arraigned him by the resolution,
that he (Mr. Call) would arraign him (Mr,
Chandler) before the senate, and would de
mand un Investigation by tho commlttco
for making an accusation that was untrue.
He (Mr. Call) would convict the senator
on evidence of his own that he did hear and
know that ho (Mr. Call) had uttered on the
floor of tbe senate substantially the whole
ot the charge contained in the paragraph.
Ho would uot ask the censure by tbe senato
of the senator from New Hampshire, but be
would leave him to the just judgment of
public opinion throughout the country for
having beard his (Mr. Call's) remarks and
having had neither tho courage nor tbe
manhood to resent them,
Mr. Sherman declared that tbe rules ot
the senate had just been violated by tbe
senator from Florida In as gross a manner
as he hud ever witnessed. When tbe senate
of the United States came to such a condi
tion that tbe charge of cowardice could be
applied to a senator, and that a senator
could be charged with stating a thing
falsely, it seemed to him that the senate wa
receding from the dignity which had dis
tinguished It from the foundation of the
government.
Mr. Call If I have violated any rule of
the senate by any observations which I have
made today or formerly, I withdrew tbem,
and I apologize to tho senate.
Mr. Chandler 1 will not reply to the gen
tleman from Florida this morning in unpar
liamentary language. The complaint which
I made was that tbe senator bad Inserted lu
his remarks words which be had not uttered.
The senator wrote language in the report ac
cusing me of all the crimes in tbe decalogue,
and he has now, this morning, charged mo
with being a coward for uot replying to thut
which I did not hear, and to that which he
afterward wrote In The Record report.
When tbe senate has decided on this stage
what language It Is parliamentary to use I
will take occasion to defend myself from all
his imputations. Mr. Sherman's motion tu
refer the resolution to tbe committee.' ou
privileges and elections was agreed to.
Tho sonate then passed tho bill granting a
pension of 100 a month to the widow of
Maj. Gen. Judson Kil;iatrlck.

The News lu New Y'ork.
New York, Feb. 25, There was much
regret expressed by citizens of New York
when it became kuowu that tbe house of
representatives had voted to have the
World's fair located at Chicago. The re
sult was attributed by many to political
quarrels in tuis state, and by others to the
efforts of tbo railroads oenterlug at Chicago
to secure the fair for that place.
Mr, Thomas U Piatt was soeii at the Fifth
Avenue boUl. He aaldi "I am very much
disappointed, with tha vote at WashUutou.
VOL. 25, NO. 9-
as 1 had hoped that JHew York Would secure
the World's fnlr. I do not give up hope yet,
ns there is a possibility of tbe senato deciding
to give tbo fnlr to New York, bollevlng ns I
do that tho majority of that body Is In favor
of Now York,"
He Tried to Help New York.
To n statement that it bad been gonerally
thought that he opposed the fair being held
In New York and that he went to Washing
ton to achieve such a result, he saldi
"I vonturo to ny that any such remark
as to my visit to Washington cam from a
Democratic source. My visit was on bust
ness of n commercial nature, but while thero
I spent some time among the Republican
members trying to secure votes for New
York, and I know that I got votes that
would otherwise, have gone to Chicago. It
Is not true that I have opposed tho fair at
any time, but, on the contrary, have done
all 1 could to bring it here."
The 1802 Uue.tlnn.
Mr. Piatt further said ho did not think the
Republlcon party feared having the fair
hero tn 1S92 because of Its being a presiden
tial year, and gave as bis reason for so think
ing that the two-third amendment to tbe
bill enacted at Albany precluded any possi
ble advantage to any political party. He
