I have persuaded many to try this valuable medicine, and they are all as well pleased as myself over the re sults." For sale by L Taggart. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, April, 21st, 1902. In the presence of three hundred representatives, some forty senators and galleries packed with men and women, but amid a silence as com plete as it was dramatic, forty odd Republicans passed between Messrs. Payne and Tawney, acting as tell ers, and then a mighty cheer burst from the Democratic side of the House of Representatives and the Democrats hastened forward to be counted on the motion to over-rule the decision of Mr. Sherman, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole. The cheer must have sounded like a wail in the ears of Mr. Payne, for in that brief moment he seemed to visibly age, his hands dropped to his sides and his head on his breast, while, in tones which were audible to the farthest corner of the chamber, Mr. Tawney con tinued the count until he announc ed the vote 171 to 130, and, for the first time in history, the Reed rules were overthrown, precedent cast aside and the Cuban reciprocity bill, so earnestly championed by the President and on which the Re publican leaders had staked all their prestige, had been weighted down with a free trade mill-stone which was calculated to sink it in the oblivion of a conference com mittee. Cuba's hopes of American generosity had been shattered. It was late Friday afternoon when Representative Dalzell con cluded the general debate on the Cuban reciprocity bill with a force ful and logical speech. Imme diately, .Judge Morris of Minnesota offered the amendment, previously offered in the Committee on Ways and Means by Mr. Tawney, and which provided for the removal of the duty on refined sugar. Mr. Payne promptly made the point of order that the amendment was not germane to the bill and the ques tion was argued for hours, the Chairman finally deciding the point well taken. Tawney appealed from the decision of the chair and forty odd Republicans voted with the Democratsand overruled the chair's decision. The amendment was then promptly adopted, the bill re ported to the House, and, on a yea and nay vote, the amendment was carried l!)i) to 105. The measure as amended passed by a vote of 217 to 52. The bill will reach the Senate early this week and will be referred immediately to the Com mittee on Relations with Cuba, of which Senator Piatt of Connecticut is Chairman. As indicated by an interview published in these letters some weeks ago, Senator Piatt strongly favors the object of the bill but there is reason to believe that when it is reported back to the Senate it will be shorn of its free trade amendment and of tl»>timc limit, while the rate of concession is likely to be raised to 25 percent. Speaking on this subject yester day, Senator Bard, of California, told me he believed there was no chance for the bill in the .Senate. Senator McMillan told me the same thing a few days before and it seems unlikely that, even if the friends of Cuba, in the Senate, suc ceed in passing the bill, amended as indicated, there will be any hope of its getting through the House. There was no expectation on the part of those Republicans, who voted with the Democrats to so hamper the measure, that the bill would eventually become a law as, were it to do so, it would prove more injurious to the beet sugar interests than would Cuban reci procity. The action of the Demo crats in voting unanimously for an amendment calculated to defeat the 20 per cent concession to Cuba, which they had previously pro nounced a "20 per cent concession to their views" is as inexplicable as are the majority of the Demo cratic inconsistencies. The Senate, last Wednesday, passed the Chinese Exclusion bill but not until it had been so amend ed as to be a virtual re-enactment of the Geary Law. The fear that some of the provisions of the new bill would be found to abrogate our treaty with China and so hamper the possibilities of trade with the Orient, at a time when the remark able success of American manufac turing enterprises makes the acquis ition and cultivation of new and extensive foreign markets impera tive, was responsible for the action of the senators. On Thursday Senator Lodge call ed up the bill providing for the temporary civil government of the Philippines but yielded to Senator Morgan of Alabama who, with characteristic energy, proceeded to deliver a 30,000 word speech on the Nicaragua canal, speaking for live consecutive hours. Whatever may prove to be the effect on Isthmian canal legislation, the effect of the Alabamian's oratory on the Senate was immediately apparent. Within ten minutes the Senate chamber was practically empty and so re mained for the rest of the day. To day consideration of the Philippine bill will begin in earnest. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL, 24, 1902. STATE AND COUNTY POLITICAL NOTES. "You can quote me as saying that Mr. Elkin will not be nominated for Governor," is what Senator Quay is reported to have Baid to the newspaper men in Washington on Monday and all of them have quoted him to that ef fect. The statement was made in answer to an inquir}' as to whether the declaration of certain State officials that they would "sink or swim" with the Atorney General would improve the latter's chances. Senator Quay is also reported to have made the same statement to Congressman Connell on Sunday night, when they had their conference, and when Mr. Connell in formed the Senator that he would be a candidate for United States Senator to succeed Senator Penrose unless opposi tion to Elkin was withdrawn. Mr. Con nell is satisfied that the Senator cannot be moved from his position. Letter to Geo. fletzger, Jr. Emporium, Pa.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway lias recently putin service 011 its Pioneer Limited trains the largest and handsomest dining car ever built. It is 82 feet in length from tip to tip, and its body is 6 inches wider and high er than the usual dining car. It seats 36 people comfortably in movable chairs, and has a kitchen large enough to permit the working of six cooks which with six waiters and a conductor make up the crew. The dining cars heretofore in service did not provide sufficient space to properly care for the large number of patrons of the Pioneer, so that it became necessary to have a larger car. 8 3t A MATTER OF HISTORY. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, popularly known as "The St. Paul Road," began the use of electricity for train lighting in 1888. In thit and many ways it has been a pioneer in the adoption of comforts for the traveler. In building the world famous Pioneer Limited trains a mark was set in luxury and beauty of cars that has never been equalled, and probably never will be. S-3t Reduced Rates to the West.
