CANCELING BONO
Bill Approved Requiring Surety
Companies to Divulge
Information.
By the terms of a bin reported favor?
ably yesterday afternoon from the
House Committee on Heads und Inter
nal Navigation, surety companies which
cancel the bonds of employes of com.
mou >ar:ies must give Hie reason for
such action. The light over the proposi?
tion was oarnesl and extended, the
cm Ire morning session of the commit?
tee and most ol the afternoon being;
taken up In discussion Of the bill.
This measure, offered by l>r. C. W. j
? Irani, of Russell, was championed by j
representatives of railway and express
men. who earnestly contended for what
they regarded ns n just bill. They saiel
iluu It frequently happens that em?
ployes are notified that their services
are no longer required lor the reason
that the surety company has concellod
I he bond. Slacks of letters were pro?
duced written by men who wanted to
Know the reason for such cancellation,
hut who could secmv no Information
on the subject.
It is fun her required that notice ol
ten days must lie given by either the
surety company or the employe If o
bond Is to lie discontinued. This is in-1
tended to permit the man to defend
Himself frm whatever accusations may
have been brought against him.
Representatives of bonding compan-i
l-s said Hie bill would really Injure th'ej
nie.T in that It would keep some of
them from getting bonds. It was said
that a surety concern should not be
compelled to divulge Us confidential
Information, thereby laying 'itself or
lie informant open to cults for damages
for libel. Rut tin committee thought,
differently and reported the bllL ' I
Banks Would Again Approve
Amendment Started at Last
Session.
Hacked by officers of the Leupue of I
Virginia Municipalities, B. A. Hanks,',
id Norfolk, yesterday introduced in the
House ot Delegates the surnc joint re-|
solution proposing an amendment toi
the Constitution regarding city gov-|
irhmcnt by commission as was approv?
ed by the last Legislature. Two years'
ago it wn? Introduced by Edwin P. j
Cox, of Hits city, and if it Is to bei
adopted, it should come nguin bcforpl
i his Legislature, which may submit iti
to the people In the election of next I
November. But Mr. Cox in view of the.
experiment about to he made- In Kich-i
nmnd In the Introduction of nn Admin-1
ist rat Ivo Board, has abandoned the
proposition.
The Hanks resolution rentes up t Ii 1 ;i'
morning before the House Committee
on Counties, Cities ..nd Towns. J. W'J
Cruddock, of Lynchburg, and J. W. ser
gcunt, dr., of Norfolk, will oppcar be?
fore the committee In behalf of the
urn- ndment.
Daniel Colcnian, the other membi i
from Norfolk, lias previously intro?
duced by request a Joint resolution em.
bodying i he Shaw ideaj of commission
government. This would have' to eo
l-.-iurc the- next Legislature, as It Is s
new proposition, wheretts tlie Banks
resolution could go to the voters thle
year. The opposition to the formet
amendment Is that its fcopc Is not
wide enough, but it Is probable that
the- delegation's which appear to-day
will urge- its approval In tirdrr to get
tills much accomplished.

Statements From
Prominent People
Short Items of Interest to Readers
in Richmond and Other
Cities.
One of the sensational statements re?
cently made in connection with "Tont
Vita." the tonic that has accomplished
such remarkable rc.-til' - in Richmond, is
that of a prominent merchant of this city,
who said: "This 'Tona Yitu' is tIn: great - 1
est tonic I have ever taken. Its action j
in my case was wonderful, for it not only I
restored me u> perfect health after I hau
been an invalid for almost ten years, but
it did it in about ton days' lime.
"I think 1 was the most down-hearted .
man in Richmond before I began taking |
this tonic. 1 was so weak that every little
bit of work seemed like a big iobj and I
was u> nervous as I could lie. 11 a person
came up to me unexpectedly 1 would
jump in a frightened sort of way. 1 never
got a sound night's sleep, but would toss
and roll around in bed all nifihr. When I
sat down to a meal 1 did it more as a
habit, as nothing that I ate was enjoyed.
Besides, the'very thought <>i rating often
made me sick. 1 would often forget im?
portant duties and seem to lack all en?
ergy. I
" Recently I talked with one of the spc-1
cialists at the drug stoic, and he told me
that 1 had nervous debility, and advised
file to try a tonic called 'Tona Vita 1 I
did so. and can truthfully say it is the
best thing that could have happened to
me. My ambition has returned, and my
desire to be active and hustling is noticed
by my family. I now sleep all night lung!
and get up in the morning feeling cheerful j
and more like a man than 1 have for
years. I now enjoy my meal- and seem
to be able to digest them in a way that
1 have not for a long time. A gentleman j
who is living in tho same house with us i
saw how this medicine was helping mc |
and began taking it. antl even though he i
has taken but a few doses, he is in better
health than f have ever seen him."
The symptoms of nervous debility are i
unmistakable to those who know how i
prevalent this trouble is. A tired drag?
ging feeling of the body, a sluggish mind
and dull memory, depression of the spir?
its, nervousness, stomach trouble, weak
back, poor circulation, cold feet, head?
aches and bowel trouble. These are sure
indications of nervous debility and mod?
ern city life produces it in untold thou?
sands.
"Tona Vita" will positively remove
this condition. If it doesn't the trial
costs nothing if purchased ill the Polk
Miller Drug Company, S.54 iia-t Main I
Street. From 9 ..\. M. lo S P. M. the !
spe cialists will be at this sloie to meet the j
public.
The sale of this new tonic is now the
biggest thing of the kind ever scon in1
Richmond, and each succeeding day
marks an increase ol interest. "Tona
Vita" is proving a complete revelation to
the thousands of half-sick, run-down,
li-tltss men and women in the city who
did not know exactly what was the mat- |
tor with them; It would be worth any?
body's time to visit the Polk Miller Driig '
Company, the exclusive agents tor Rich-;!
mond, and inspect the large number ol
testimonials from those who have been
benefited by the new ionic and who have
undoubted faith in it as a remedy of un?
usual value.

INSIDE HISTORY TOLD
Washington, February 13.?The re?
lation of \\ llllnm Nelson Cromwell to
the proceedings through which tho
(."nlted states paid JtJ.000,000 tor tne
French rights to the Panama Canal
route, were discussed before the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs lu-duy
by Henry N. Hall, of the New York
World, who has been malting a study
of incidents connected with the choice,
of the Panama route over the Nlcara- j
guan route.
Mr. Hall charged that Mr. Cromwell
hud Influenced Congress in 1899 to re?
ject the Nicaragua!! route after It had
been practically selected. Acting for
Hie New Panama Canal Company,
i which hud acquired the rights of the
French builders, Mr Cromwell under?
took, said Mr. IJnll, to Intluence the.
new Walker commits ion, then appoint?
ed, and commit it to a purchase of tho
Panama property.
' "Mr. Cromwell persuaded Senator
Hanna." said the witn sa. "to permit
htm to amend the Republican national
platform In 1000 In tili Interests ol
! the Pant-inn rout.-. The words -an
i isthmian canr-r were substituted for
the words 'the Nicar.iguan canal.' hut
only after Mr. Cromwell hod contri?
buted JfiO.OoO to the Republican na?
tional committee, of which rionator
llanna was chairman. This 160,000
Mr. Cromwell later charged up to the
New Pans '.a Canal Company as a
I necessary expense.''
Mr. Hall said that a few months be?
fore cenator lianna had publicly at
' tacked i he- reports of the New Panama
Canal Company as attempting "to In
; terfero with legislation."
Senator Hanna thereafter, said Hull,
, tool: an active part In advocating the
i Panama route in the senate. Sir.
Cromwell, he declared, prepare i a com?
plete draft of the report he wanted
made to the Senate upon the Panama
' route and submitted It to senator
Hanna, of the committee that passed
I on the legislation.
j "Mr. Cromwell's draft was con so
I quently adopted and signed by the
minority." said Hall and became fam
1 ous under the name of the "Hanna
minority report." It wuk the text >
book <ui the Panama Canal during the
debates which followed in the Senate.
Mr. Cromwell wrote Senutor Hanna's
speeches In favor of the Panama
routs, if not in their entirely, at least
in great part.','
Many Verbal Clashes.

Company, of St. Louis, developed many
verbal clashes between Mr. Cortelyou
and Ijdwlh C. Madden, :ormerly Third
Assistant Postmaster-Oeneral, but how

Mr. Cortedyotl said In: had taken
the case out of MiKlden'S hands be?
cause there was a "lack o? frankness"

telegram depends the future of baso
ball in the home of former President
Williams. Considerable opposition to
admitting Koanokc tuio arisen among
those In power, owing to the tact that
it means one of two things; cither an
eight club circuit, or the dropping of
Newport News. As viewed by those
in a position to know, the flr;,t narne-t
is out of the question, and Newport
News Is a component part of the new
