Appropriation IUII I Pesscd.
The Cuban Resolutions'.
Washington. April 9. The senate did
a. rushing-Tmslneim in the way of pri
vate pension bills in the last hour of
today's session, having cleared the cal
endar and passed every pension bill on
It 75 in number, within sixty minutes.
The earlier hours of the Besston were
taken ui in the delivery of two pre
pared speeches, one by Sir. Mantle
Kep.. Mont.) and the other by Mr.
Uutler (Pop.. N. C). Mr. Mantle's
speech was mainly a defence of the
nenators from the silver producing
Mates for their action in helping to de
feat the Dinley tariff bill passed by
the house in the enrly part of the ses
sion. He criticised the bill for being
in the Interest of the wool manufnetur-t-rs
rather than the wool growers and
he declared himself as being equally in
favor of bimetallism and of protection
to American industries. He expressed
the hope, therefore, that the finance
committee would report back a tariff
bill coupled with the provision for free
coinage. At the close of Mr. Mantle's
speech (his maiden one in the senate)
he received the congratulations of
many senators, and then participated
in a running discussion with Senators
Hawley (Rep., Conn.), Hoar (Hep.,
Mass.) and Mills (Dem.. Tex.), the lat
ter characterizing a protective tariff
na a protective humbug.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The bill to repeal the compulsory
pilotage system so far as It effects
calling vessels engaged In the coust
wlse trade was defeated In the house
today after a day's debate, by a vote
of 117 to 52. Mr. (iropvenor (Rep.. Ohio)
In the course of the discussion said
that while this congress would not en
uct any legislation Intended to Improve
the condition of laboring men in thin
country, he was certain the house
would not pass a bill which laboring
men believed would tend to still fur
ther Increase the distress and discom
fort of any portion of their fellows.
The amended District of Columbia
appropriation bill for the year ending
June 30, lfciti. was pussed alter a brief
debate. The most notable Incident of
the debate was a bitter attack by Mr.
Fitzgerald (Dem., Muss.) upon the
American Protective association by
name, for Its attack In the dark, as he
expressed It. upon the Roman Catholic
church, of which he was a member,
which resulted in depriving institutions
in the District of Columbia, conducted
under the auspices of the church, of
what was Justly and legally theirs. No
response was made to Mr. Fitzgerald
beyond a bare denial by Mr. Grout
(Rep., Vt.) In charge of the bill that It
constituted in any sense an attack
upon the Catholic church. The vote
upon the bill was 134 to 111 and only 20
members, an Insufficient number.
Joined with Mr. Sulzer (Dem.. N. Y.)
in a demand for a vote by yeas and
nays.
FITZGERALD'S SPEECH.
He said:
In the few moments at my dlsposul I In
tend to pay my respects to an organization
existing In this country today that Is be
hind this bill and has been behind It ev-r
since congress caine Into session. The
American Protective association organiza
tion never made any opposition to the ap
propriations for these Institutions until
ihe night before the debate begun and
then they bombarded the committee room
und Insisted upon the appropriations be
ing stricken out.
The animus of this organization is well
known. A great many members of this
l,0.uJ,...have bpn Importuned to oppose
this bill, not in the interest of Justice, free
dom, or a broad spirit of liberality and
Americanism, but for the simple reason
that it appropriated money for Catholic
institutions. 1 stand upon the floor of
ihls house, born and bred a Roman Cath
olic and proud of it, and I deny the right
of any sect, oath-bound organization to
come before the legal representatives of
the American people and by Its dark,
deep, underhand methods, seek to deprive
ine and the members of Uie leligion which
l profess, of the honest rights and prlvl
and due" of American citizenship.
VV hat apology is thero for a Roman
Catholic to live In this country? Is ono
necessary? Look at history from the dis
covery of this land of ours In 1492. Look
at the deeds of bravery and heroism uml
statesmanship that have been performed
by Roman Catholics. 1 challenge any
member of the American Protective asso
ciation organization In 'this house, I chal
lenge any member who Is in sympathy
with that organization to name any sphere
in life, or any public duty that has been
badly filled or Ill-performed by members
of the Roman Catholic church. In the
great war of the revolution, Washington
had no lirmer friends, no llrmer support
than the Roman Catholic members of his
utaff; and when we look at the great
naval struggle at that time, the first name
that springs to our lips is that of an Irish
man and a Roman Cahtollc, Captain John
O'Brien, who achieved the first great
naval victory of the war off the coast of
Maine, it was not asked whether Kos
ciusko or Pulaski or Lafayette was a
Catholic, when the thirteen colonies were
struggling for their Independence, were
struggling for the right to breathe and
live; the rights which free-born American
citizens are enjoying today. At that time
could you find any religious fanatics or
persons stealthily creeping around from
one end of the country to the other in
secret order and In secret parlance In
triguing against a man's religion? I know
we talk about the breadth and liberality
of the American people In these days.
Why, sir, it Is not to be compared with
the breadth and liberality and wisdom
that were exhibited in those times.
Mr. Speaker, I should appeal in tho
Eplrlt of broad Americanism and true
charity. If It could be done, that this ap
propriation bill which has been reported
here today should be set aside and an
appropriation made in the usual form. 1
know, however, that that cannot be done
ut the present time under the rules of this
house; but I Intend to stand here and
utter my protest as an American citizen
nnd as a Roman Catholic against the un
just, unfair and un-American means that
have been used by the organization to
which I have referred to deprive these In
stitutions of the support which Is legally
and Justly theirs. My friends, if we
should have war with England, on ac
count of the Venezuelan matter or war
with Spain on account of the Cuban mut
ter, where would the members of this
famous organization be found? They
would toe found in the same place and un
der the same auspices that they were
found in the war of the rebellion taking
the steamers for Nova Scotia to put them
selves under the protection of Queen Vic
toria and the Rrltish flag. Those would
be the conditions that would exist and
those are the conditions that always ex
ist when people try to strike with a knife
In the back,
Conference was ordered on the senate
amendment to the postotlice appropria
tion bill.
Consideration wag begun of the
"filled cheese bill," Imposing a tax upon
its manufacture and sale will be con
tinued tomorrow, Mr. Cooke (Rep.,
Wis.) author of one of the bills for
which the pending bill was a substi
tute addressed the house prior to ad
journment, which took place at 5.05
p. m. .
. . . CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
- The president has not yet given any
Intimation as to what course he will
take In regard to the Cuban resolutions,
nor indeed, as to whether ho will take
any action upon them at the present
time. Those whose opinions are en
titled to weight, assert that In a matter
of such Importance the president Is not
likely to act without grave delibera
tion.' ,
; The engrossed copy of the Cuban res
olution furnished the president re
main upon his desk precisely as do
the concurrent Armenian resolution
adopted by congress January 28 laat
requesting him to use hla good offices
with the European-powers to put an
end io Turkish tyranny n Armenia by
the enforcement of the provisions of
the Berlin treaty.' There Is no Indi
cations on the: surface of any purpose
on the iart of the president to send
In a special message to congress at any
early date on the Cuban question, nor
has the state department thus far set
Its clerical force to work compiling the
additional Cuban data asked for by
the house of representatives..
ANOTHER MKINLEY BILL.
Some measure, either a bill or a Joint
resolution re-enacting In general terms
the reciprocity feature of the tariff
law of 1890. better known as the Mc
Klnley tariff bill, will, at Is believed,
soon be reported to the house. . The
sub-committee of the house ways and
means committee, to whom was re
ferred the Tawney resolution, looking
to an investigation of the subject of
reciprocity with foreign countries, and
particularly in relation to its effect
upon our trade witn the Latin-American
countries, have secured a vast ar
ray of data from boards of trade, cham
bers of commerce and kindred organi
sations throughout the country. These
replies are said to be uniformly favor
able to the principle, and to show that
while the law of 1890 was in force, the
agricultural as well as certain of the
manufacturing Interests of the United
States were largely benefitted as a re
sult. It is thought to be not unlikely
that when the matter comes before the
house it will be fully discussed, the de
bate continuing possibly ten days or
a fortnight
RECIPROCITY BILL.
Seheme Suggested by Representative
Hopkins.
Washington, April 9. The reciprocity
bill offered by Representative Hopkins,
which the sub-committee of the house
on ways and means will report to the
full committee as a substitute for the
numerous measures relating to reci
procity and retaliation and which Is
entitled a bill to Increase and equalize
the trade of the United States with
foreign nations by the negotiation of re
ciprocal commercial arrangements, au
thorizes and directs the president to
negotiate with foreign governments
whose exports are in excess of their Im
ports from the United States and whose
chief articles of Imports are admitted
free Into the United States with a view
to arranging commercial agreements In
which reciprocal and equivalent con
cessions may be secured in favor of the
products of tho farms, forests, fisheries,
mines and manufactories of the United
States. The bill authorizes the presi
dent when discriminations are made
against tills government by foreign
countries to refuse to enter into re
ciprocal commcrclul agreements and to
Issue proclamation thereof, whereupon
the highest rates of duties Imposed in
any of the tariff laws that have been
In force since January, I860, shall be
enforced in all particulars.
The bill as explained by Its uthor
applies to countries whose exports are
greater than their Imports from the
United States, whose chief articles of
Imports are Imported free; whose ex
ports are admitted Into the United
States at an average rate of duty,
lower than the average rate of duty
Imposed upon the United States by
their customs tariff; those Imposing
higher rates of duty upon the products
of the United States than are Imposed
upon the same products of other na
tions, and those which Impose restric
tions obstructing the expansion of our
commerce.
The bill contemplates no reduction in
the duties now charged upon Imported
merchandise by the laws of the United
States and says Its author, "as Mr.
Blaine advised, It proposes to 'use the
tariff to trade on' and ask our foreign
neighbors to adopt the golden rule In
commercial reciprocity."

HAVE TO DRINK ALONE.
Norris Antl-treatlng Dill Receives the
Necessary Votes to Pass.
Columbus, O.. April 9. After consid
erable discussion in the house this
morning the senate Joint resolution
providing for adjournment April 20 was
defeated and April 27 substituted. The
house signalized the approaching ad
journment this afternoon by passing
the most radical temperance legislation
of the session.
This was the passage of Representa
tive Norris' antl-treatlng bill. The bill
makes It a misdemeanor for any person
to treat or ofl'eT to treat another per
son to on Intoxicatiag drink, or to give
or offer to give another person an In
toxicating drink In any place where
liquor Is sold. The bill received the
necessary (lfty-soven votes, with but
seven in opposition, Mr. Fostllck, of
theater hat fame, being among the lat
ter. SHIP CAPSIZED.
Six Members of the Crew of the Blalmoor
Are Drowned.
San Francisco, April 9. During a
squall on the bay this morning the
British ship Blalrmoor was capsized
and six of her crew drowned. The
names of the dead are:
Thomas Ludgate, chief officer; Sam
uel Kenny, steward; T. Reerabaum,
sallmaker; H. Synastrand and H. F.
Clark, stable seamen, and R. E. Slegle,
apprentice, ft years old. Nine others
of the crew were rescued by boats that
were In the vicinity. The captain,
John Crow, swam to the small boat
lying astern and pulled himself to the
landing. The Blalrmoor arrived from
New Castle, N. 8. W.. with a cargo of
coal about a week ago, making the
voyage In fifty-six days, the fastest on
record.
Not Anxious to Learn.
A gentleman once saw a boy peeling the
bark from one of his choice trees with a
hatchet. The gentleman tried to catch
the boy, but the latter was too quick for
him, so the former changed his tactics.
"Come here, my little son," he said In a
soft, flute-like voice, with counterfeited
friendliness; "come here to me a minute.
1 want to tell you something."
"Not yet," replied tho recipient, "Utile
boys like me don't need to know every
thing." Texaa8lftlngs. -

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Nut Be Alarmed, but Look for
' the Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among Amer
icans, are certainly Increasing and while
this may be largely due to the worry
and excitement of American business
life. It Is more often the result ot weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease Is Incur
able; but not one case In a hundred of
heart trouble, is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion Is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart If
a flee ted by that form of poor diges
tion, which causes gas and fermenta
tion from half digested food; there is
a feeling of oppression and heaviness
in the chest caused by pressure ot the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which Ir
ritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles Is to Improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use, after meals, ot some safe, pleasant
and effective dlgetlve preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements, in a pleasant, convenient
form.
It Is safe to say that the regular, per
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time, will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of
the stomach.
Full size packages of the Tablets sold
by most druggists at 50 cents or by mall
from Stuart company, Marshall, Mich.
MARKET AND STOCK REPORT.
Wall Street Review.
New York, April 9. Stocks were In
tensely dull today, the total sales
amounting to only 13X623 shares, of
which 30,000 shares were Sugar, 18,300
Tobacco, 12,00(1 Burlington and Qulney,
and 10.700 St. Paul. The opening of the
market was firm, the sensation rumors
of yesterday about the president's ac
tion In the Cuban matter having failed
to materialize, prices moved up frac
tionally, but the tmprovenfents did not
bring In orders from outsiders, and as
of late business was monopolized by
the trading element. London sold a
little St. Paul and Louisville and Nash
ville. In the afternoon the market
showed a weaker tendency on reports
of further gold shipments late In the
week and the revival of the report that
President Cleveland will send In a mes
sage to congress endorsing the recent
action of that body on the Cuban mat
ter. Leading bear operators, with
Washington connections, were con
spicuous sellers of the Grangers at this
time. The rumors referred to, how
ever, could not be traced to an authen
tic source. The loss In the Grangers
was Insignificant, but Sugar was de
cidedly weaker and fell from to
116, with a subsequent recovery to
W. Tobacco declined from M to
8314. and later recovered to 84. The
death of Vice-President Pope was used
against the stock early In the day. The
decline In the general list In the after
noon dealings was equal to al per
cent., the Grangers, General Klectrtc
and Rubber leading. The speculation
closed dull, with prices anywhere from
4 to Tj per cent, below yesterday's clos
ing. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN. AL

OVERTURES TO QUAY.
The Senator Was Approached by the
McKlnley Men.
Washington, D. CApril . The truth
about the negotiations with Senator
Quay for his support of McKlnley came
out today, when It was learned from
one of Senator Quay's friends that It
was the McKlnley men who made the
overtures, and not Senator Quay, and
that he gave them no encouragement.
It seems that the McKlnley managers
offered him practically anything that
he wanted In the way of terms for his
support, telling him, however, that they
would not deal with ex-Senator Piatt
on any terms, and that Senator Quay
gave them no definite answer at the
time, but subsequently said most em
phatically that he would not Join them.
He also construed their offer to him
as an Indication that they realized that
they were not nearly as strong as they
were publicly claiming to be, and was
encouraged by it to persist In his fight
against McKlnley's nomination. The
McKlnley men, In giving out the story,
turned it around and made It appear
that Senator Quay was seeking terms,
whereas the fact Is that they were do
lng so.
