Washington Letter.
I From our Regular Co-respondent.!
Washington, D. C., Dec. 21, 1900.
—Congress adjourned today until
January 3, and for once nobody can
deny that it has fully earned its
Christmas recess. At few, if any,
sessions has so much been accom
plished before the holiday recess. Be
sides the legislation actually disposed
of, the house committees have nearly
all the regular appropriation bills
that have not been reported about
ready to be reported after the recess.
The senate committees have also don©
much work. The appropriation bills
passed by the house are all in good
shape, and the committee on military
affairs has a substitute for the army
reorganization bill ready to be re
ported. This bill differs in several
important particulars from the bill
passed by the house, but the strength
of the reorganized army remains the
same—a minimum of 58,000 men and a
maximum of 100,000. The clause in
the original bill abolishing the “army
canteen” has been struck out and one
inserted providing that beer but no
other form of intoxicant may be sold
in the post exchanges. This action
is the result of the testimony given I
army officers in favor of the sale of
beer to the soliders, to keep them
away from the dives and speak-easies
which always abound in the neighbor
hood of army posts. It is likely to be
sharply antagonized by the opponents
of the canteen when the bill gets be
fore the senate.
The American people love courage,
whether moral or physical. Therefore
they will not fail to give Secretary
Hay full credit for his moral courage in
making an official statement in which he
assumes absolute responsibility for the
wording of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
which the senate so radically amended
before ratifying. Secretary Hay said
in that statement: “Whatever odium
there is in connection with the so
called Hay-Pauncefote treaty rests en
tirely with the state department. The
compact was drawn up entirely by
the state department and submitted
to Great Britain with the result
that it was approved without change,
even to the crossing of a “t” or t the
dotting of an “i. ” Every line, w r ord
and letter of the treaty is as it w§.s
prepared by the state department.”
This effectually disposes of the string of
ridiculous stories alleging that the
treaty had been written by Lord
Pauncefote, or in the British foreign
office, in London, and other idiotic
things. It also makes it evident that
there are no insurmountable obstacles
in the way of the acceptance of the
amended treaty by Great Britain.
Captain William Folger, command
ing the United States steamer Kear
sage, said in his report to the navy
department of the performance of the
submarine boat Holland, in the ex
periments at Newport: “It is clear
that the Holland type will play a very
serious part in future naval welfare.
There is no doubt whatever that the
vessel at Newport can approach a tur
ret ship unseen, either by night or
day. Her only danger is that she may be
run over herself by picket or large
vessels.” Admiral Farquhar. com
mander-in-chief of the North Atlantic
squadron: Captain Mason, command
ing the torpedo station at Newport,
and Captain Nathan Sargent, com
manding the United States steamer
Scorpion, all commend the Holland’s
work in their reports. These reports
were sent to the senate by Secretary
Long in compliance with a resolution
offered by Senator Stewart.
Notwithstanding the predictions of
the Democratic press of extravagant
appropriations by the Republicans at
this session of congress not a single
appropriation bill has passed which
contained an item which any Democrat
characterized as extravagant. Asa
matter of fact, some Democrats are
strongly urging extravagant appro
priations, to be spent in their own
localities, for the river and harbor
bill, which the house committee has
almost finished. If there is any ex
travagance at this session of congress,
it is likely to be found in that bill. It
seems impossible for a river and har
bor bill to get through any congress
that does not contain appropriations
that may justly be called extravagant
by those who have no personal or
neighborhood interest in the expendi
ture of the money.
Senator Hanna thus disposed of the
many sensational stories about com
binations to prevent the passage of the
ship subsidy bill: “I will say now
what I have always said, that this bill
is for the best interests of the country,
and I believe it is going to pass the
senate. 1 know the stories they are
telling about what the opposition to
the bill professes to be able to do. I
have said from the first that this bill
must go through congress in a per
fectly clean way and absolutely upon
its merits. And that is the way it is
going through, if at all. I will stake
ray reputation as a business man of a
good many years’ experience and as a
shipper on the prediction that this bill
will do what we claim for it, and that
it will result in 50 per cent, of our trade
being carried under the American flag.
This will be of incalculable benefit to
■the United States. It will give am im
petus to shipbuilding, an impetus .to
export business by the lower rates
brought about by competition, and its
beneficial influence will not be con
fined to any section of the country. ”
Attorney General Griggs gained new
legal laurels by his argument before
the supreme court, this week, in the
cases. involving the constitutional
status of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, which lawyers have declared to
be one of the ablest constitutional ar
guments ever made before the supreme
court. The decision will probably bo
announced in January.
CONGRESSMAN’S PREDICAHENT.
Hon. H. B. Dahle Spends a Few Honrs in
a Cleveland Jail.
A dispatch to The Milwaukee Sen
tinel from Cleveland, 0., December
22. tells of the not altogether agree
able plight Hon. H. B. Dahle, our rep
resentative in congress, found him
self in last Friday. It seems that he
was suddenly taken ill in much
the same manner as ha was at
Juneau last October, when he had
a fainting spell and fell heavily on
the curbing. He is subject to these
spells, which are caused by an affec
tation of the nervous system. The
Cleveland dispatch says in part:'
Congressman Herman B. Dahle,
of the Second district of Wis
consin, spent last night in a cell at
the Central Police station and was
compelled to appear in Police court
this morning, all because he was un
fortunate enough to become ill on a
street car.
Mr. Dahle was on his way home
to spend the holidays and stopped in
Cleveland to visit a friend, L. Brun
dage, a commission merchant. While
on a street car he became ill and was
acting peculiarly when a policeman
arrested him. This morning he re
vealed his identity told of Lis troubles
and was discharged.
“I had a fainting spell,” he said.
“I was on a Superior street car and
was taken to a drug store. I didn’t
known anything until I found myself
here. Pm a congressman, your
honor,” Mr. Dahl© continued, and
everybody looked surprised.
Mr. Dahle’s story was soon told.
He is 45 years old, congressman from
the Second Wisconsin district and
lives in Mt. Horeb, Wis., with his
wife and seven children. He is a
member of the Agricultural com
mittee and other committees. At
home he is a banker and keeper of a
general store. For many years he
has known T. L. Brundage, wholesale
grocer at 80-82 Broadway, and has
business dealings with him. He came
to Cleveland Friday on his way home
from Washington, stopping over to
see Mr. Brundage. Friday evening
he took dinner at Mr. Brundage’s
home and started aboard a car to the
Valley depot.
“I am very sorry you were brought
here, Mr. Congressman,” said
the judge, “very sorry in
deed.” “And I am glad to have
met you, congressman,” Prose
cutor H. I. Davis, shaking hands with
Mr, Dahle. Court Officer Hannan
came forward with Mr. Dahle’s hat
and overcoat, asking the newspaper
men to investigate his case before
publishing anything about his pre
dicament.
Mr. Brundage told a reporter he
had never known Mr. Dahle to drink
a drop. “He is an Americanized
Norwegian,” said Mr. Brundage. “He
has fought the saloons in his home
town and I know he is opposed to the
liquor business. He is subject to
nervous fainting spells. I told the
conductor where to transfer him for
the Valley depot, as he was never in
Cleveland before,”
Patrolman Frank T. Kearney, who
arrested Congressman Dahle. said he
found him in George’s drug store,
Superior street, about 8:40 P. m.,
Friday.
“He had staggered from a car,”
said Kearney. “He was evidently
sick and dazed. He had a check for
SBOO, his salary, and SSB in cash in
his*clothes. and I knew he would be
robbed if I allowed him to go. I
knew he wasn’t drunk, but I couldn’t
do anything else, as he said he was
not stopping at any hotel and didn’t
know where he wanted to go except
to Wisconsin.”
The congressman is on his way
back to Wisconsin tonight. It seems
that Mr. Dahle has been subject to
such fainting spells and it is said they
are brought on by attacks of acute in
digestion.
A Woman’s Awful Peril.
“There is only one chance to save
your life and that is through an oper
ation,” were the startling words heard
by Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge,
Wis., from her doctor after he had
vainly tried to cure her of a
frightful case of stomach trouble and
yellow jaundice. Gall stones had
formed and she constantly grew
worse. Then she began to use Elec
tric Bitters, which wholly cured her.
It’s a wonderful stomach, liver and
kidney remedy. Cures dyspepsia, loss
ol appetite. Try it. Only 50 cents.

How to Cure Croup.
R Gray, who lives near Amenia,
Duchess county, N. Y., says: “Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy is the best medi
cine I have ever used. It is a fine child
ren’s remedy for croup and never fails to
cure.” When given as the child becomes
hoarse, or even after the croupy cough
has developed, it will prevent the attack.
This should be borne in mind and a
bottle of the Cough Remedy kept at
hand ready for instant use as soon as
these symptoms appear. For sale by

reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as

Mr. Major, the famous cement man, ofj New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Major’s Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard arti
cle know that it is many hundred per cent,
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but a great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr.
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufacturers do not use them, be
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound,
and another $2.65 a gallon, while a large share
ot the so-called cements and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than 16-cent glue,
dissolved in water or citric acid, and, in some
cases, altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition of cheap and useless materials.
Major’s Cement retails at 15 cents and 25
cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a
substitute you can depend upon it that his
only object is to make a larger profit.
The profit on Major’s Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr. Ma
jor’s advertising, which now amounts to over
$5,000 a month, throughout the country. Es
tablished in 1976.
Insist on having Major’s, Don’t accept any
off-hand advice from a druggist.
If you are at all handy (and you will be like
ly to find that you are a good deal more so
than you imagine) you can repair your rubber
boots and family shoes, and any other rubber
and leather articles, with Major’s Rubber Ce
ment and Major’s Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at bow many dol
lars a year you will thus save.
If your druggist can’t supply you, ‘t will be
forwarded by mail; either kind. Free of
postage.
