EXCHANGE OF CALLS.
Is-.ml Courtesies Extended in the
Oirse «tf President Dole.
W A SHI XGTON, Jan. 26.— President
Dole, of Hawaii, arrived here at 2:30
;his afternoon, and in behalf of the
government was welcomed to the na
tional capital by Secretary Sherman
and Assistant Secretary Adee. The
presidential party was belated by
Btorms along the way, and it was
three hours after the schedule time
that the train swung into the depot.
A crowd of several hundred had as
sembled on North f'apitol street, and
three platoons of mounted police were
(•a hand to act as an escort.
As the train came to a stop, Mr.
Sherman and Mr. Adee stepped on the
rear platform, and were m^t by As
sistant Secretary Cridler, who con
ducted them infi<i<- for the first greet
ings to President and Mrs. Dole and
their party. There was a brief and
Informal exchange, and then the party
filed out to the waiting carriages. As
they alighted Secretary Sherman and
Pr< sid'ent Dole, with Mrs. Dole stancJ-
Ing between them, were photographed.
Then Mr. Sherman offered his arm to
Mrs. Dole and escorted her to Presi
dent McKlnley's carriage, and the par
ty proceeded to the Arlington, where
the Hawaiian executive will be the
nation's guest. In the second carriage

Dole's private secretary.
President McKinley's call was en
tirely formal, and did not last longer
than fifteen minutes. He was accom
panied by Mr. Porter and Col. Bins
ham, and was met by Assistant Secre
tary Cridler and Mr. Hatch, the Ha
waiian minister, who introduced them
to President Dole, Mrs. Dole and the
other members of the party. After a
mutual exchange of courtesies. Presi
dent McKinley returned to the White
house.
At 4:15 Mr. Dole returned the visit
of President McKinley. He drove over
to the White house in a magnificently
appointed carriage, in company with
Minister Hatch and Assistant Secre
tary Cridler. His private secretary,
with Maj. Heistand and Lieut. Com
mander Phelps and Dr. Day, followed
in another carriage. At the entrance
to the White house the visitor was
met by Col. Bingham, and the party
was led at once by him to the elevator,
whence they were soon transferred to
the library on the second floor. There
President McKinley was in waiting,
and gave his guests a greeting. After
a few words of general conversation
the two presidents retired to a couch
in one corner of the room and spent
about five minutes in consultation. It
was said that this talk was purely
unofficial and personal. Then the par
ty was escorted downstairs and return
ed to the hotel.
SEVKRE EDICT.
It IJocs Sot I:mH<mi»o th«* I'm'llioatlon
of the Philippines.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.— Advices
from the Orient bring to hand the full
text of the edict recently issued by
Gen. Primero Rivero, governor general
of the Philippines, a brief reference to
which has been made through official
circles at Madrid. The edict is so
severe in its treatment of all enemies
of the imperial government that the
manifestoes of Weyler seem mild in
comparison. Taken as a whole it seems
a refutation of the official announce
ments of th.' government at Madrid,
that the Philippine insurrection has
been suppressed and the people paci
fied. The edict begins with the revoca
tion of all passes heretofore issued and
the establishment of a military trocha.
Property belonging to persons connect
ed with the rebellion or to tenants,
partners or to any person interested
in property belonging to the rebels, is
declared forfeited to the government
and will be seized to satisfy the needs
of the Spanish army. The families of
individuals who are incorporated In
the rebel party must go to join them
or fix their residence under the watch
fulness of the authorities. For the pur
pose of this order, the families of reb
els, will consist of their wives, chil
dren, parents, brothers, brother-in
laws, sisters and cousins.

tions regarding the proposition he had

made to Secretary Long, offering to
build a dry dock, capable of receiving
the largest ship ailoat, he said: "You
can say that I will shortly build the
largest and best dry dock in American
waters, a basin in which any ship in
the I'nited States or England, in the
merchant marine, can be safely docked
and overhauled. This dock will be built
at one corner of the ship yard and not
on the half-mile of water front prop
erty recently acquired. There is urgent
need of a dry dock in which the ves
sels of the navy can be repaired at
short notice, and it is such a basin
that I propose to build."
SUCCULENT ONION.
Best Place to Eat Is Is in the Seolu-
sion of the Ilotnic firele.
The best time, ana only one, perhaps, for
Bociety to eat onions, says the Washington
Star, is when there is the least chance of of
fending the olfactories of sensitive people.
Thus a stormy Saturday night is fairly safe,
when, thf family, refraining from the theater^
may ssti t with closed doors in executive ses
sion on the onion question. X severe cold,
making necessary the staying at home and
the "noi at home" to visitors, s an ideal
opportunity. In truth, it is shrewdly sus
pected that very many of the "not at homes"
mean that the society beauty has taken onions
for her cold or complexion— under the family
physician's prescription, perchance, and must
deny herself to her friends.
It is well known that the bulbous vege
table is a specific for many complaints— In
diKrstion among others— and that when the
immediate odor has passed the breath is all
the sweeter from its use as a diet. Long be
fore Columbus discovered America the homely
onion was doing duty in its native Kast (In*
dia), not only as food, but as medicine and a
conservator of the arts. Its aromatic flavor
commended it to the epicure, its stimulating,
sudorific properties made It an excellent tonic'
promoting all the excretions, while its viscid
juice was used as a cement for porcelain.
Fir ally, according to Miss Parloa, of the
Boston Cooking school, Delmotiieo, Chamb^r
lin, Savarin, the late Sam Ward and other
great chefs, the onion cannot be dispensed
with in the preparation of appetizing dishes.
Its pungent taste is npcessary, they say, to
impart the flavor which is looked for in the
cuisine of every first-<-lasa restaurant by its
patrons. In one form or another, whether in
merely being rubbed on the cooking utensil 3
or the serving plates, or in having a modicum
of its Juices, delicately inserted in sauces, the
onion must remain an important factor of the
food supply. df3p:te any rule of polite society
to the contrary.

WASHINGTON-, Jan. 2C— For more
than six hours today the senate had
under discussion the Teller resolution
providing that the government pay the
principal and interest of the bonds of
the I'nited States }n silver. By agree
ment the resolution and pending
amendment were to be voted upon be
fore adjournment tomorrow. The de
bate today was devoid of the sensa
tional Incidents and acrimonious collo
quies which characterized that of yes
terday, but it was replete with argu
ment and oratory. The time was con
sumed by Mr. Toiler (Sil., Col.) the
author of the resolution, and Mr. Dan
iel (Dem.. Ya.) who supported the reso
lution, and by Mr. Hoar (Rep., Mass.)
and Mr. Platt (Rep., Conn.), in opposi
tion to it. All delivered set speeches
except .Mr. Hoar, whose speech was in
reply to some points advanced by Mr.
Teller yesterday.
Mr. Teller said he would be willing
to retire from public life if by so doing
he could bring about an international
bimetallic agreement. He maintained
that the existing contract concerning
the money in which bonds of the Unit
ed States were payable could not be
Changed without action of congress —
one of the parties to the contract— and
that the government had a right to all
the advantages the contract afford
ed it.
Mr. Fairbanks asked Mr. Teller
whether the present secretary of the
treasury was now paying out only gold
in liquidation of the bonded obligations
of the government.
"I do not know," replied Mr. Teller,
"what the secretary of the treasury is
doing. My relations with the present
administration are not such as to en
able me to obtain information of its
acts." Being further pressed by Mr.
Fairbanks, Mr. Teller said his "belief
was that the administration was pay
ing the interest on coin obligations of
the government, no such obligations
themselves having matured, in gold.
"1 have absolute information," re
torted Mr. Fairbanks, "that the ad
ministration is paying the obligations
I refer to in legal tender notes. On
Jan. 1 $29,000,000 of bonds matured and
I am informed by the secretary of the
treasury that these bonds were paid
not in gold, not in silver, but In legal
tender notes."
"If that be so," paid Mr. Teller, "we
might as well discontinue this debate
and take a vote upon the pending reso
lution now."
TOO MTTCH EVASION.
The point had been reached, thought
Mr. Teller, when the effort is being
made by the national administration
to put the country on a gold basis. IT.;
thought there had been too much
sophistry and evasion upon the finan
cial question among those who dis
cussed it during the past twenty years
arnl in his opinion the rime had arrived
Cor all parties to walk squarely up to
the cannons mouth of the question and
deal fairly and honestly with them
selves and the people.
In response to a statement by Mr.
Teller that $2G2,C00,000 of bonds' were
sold for the purpose <;f maintaining the
gold standard, Mr. Gear (To.) said that
it was well known that more than
$200,000,000 of these bonds were sold to
meet a deficit in the treasury. This
statement was flatly contradicted by
the Colorado senator, who maintained
that there was no necessity for the
sal • !' bonds to meet the current ex
penses whon there was plenty of silver
to meet pressing obligations of the gov
ern nifiit.
Referring in the course of his re
marks to Urn presidential contest of '3ti
Mr. Teller said that no political cam
paign in this country had ever been
characterized by so much bitterness.
He conceded the right, he said, of
others to differ from him upon this and
other questions, but he hold he ought
to be accorded the same right, and the
liberty of the people, not only of this
country, but of the world, depended
upon the rightful solution of the finan
cial question. He had a right to speak
here for the great masses of the people
and he took advantage of it, because he
felt that the fastening of the gold
standard upon the country would
simply make of the plain people hewers
of wood and drawers of water. In
conclusion, after speaking about two
hours and a half, Mr. Teller replied to
some statements made yesterday con
cminer savings banks.
At the conclusion of Mr. Toller's
speech, Mr. lodge called attention to
some statements in criticism of an
amendment offered by him (Lodge) yes
terday to the pending resolution. The
amendment declared tfoat the obliga
tions of the I'nited States should be
paid "in the money that is the highest
money of the world, in gold or its
equivalent :n gold, whether that be
silver or paper."
TELLER TRAPPED.
Mr. Lodge inquired whether Mr. Tel
ler was in favor of that amendment.
'■Well, I shall vote against it," re
plied the Colorado senator.
Mr. Lodge insisted upon knowing
whether Mr. Teller did or did not think
the amendment a proper principle for
congress to lay down.
Mr. Teller still held that the govern
ment and the government's creditors
ought to abide by contracts made.
"I desired to know," said Mr. Ledge,
"what the senator from Colorado
thought of my amendment, because I
copied it word for word from a speech
made by the senator in which he de
clared that every dollar this govern
ment owes shall be paid in the money
that is the highest money in the world,
in gold, or its equivalent in gold,
whether that be silver or paper."
Mr. Ledge thought that if the senator
from Colorado (Teller) believed that
his statement was accurate when he
made it, he ought not now to object to
supporting it with his voice and vote.
Mr. Teller replied that he had never
advocated the payment of government
obligations in a depreciated currency
and did not now.
Mr. Hoar (Mass.) followed in a speech
in which he maintained the position he
took yesterday.
Mr. Hoar was followed by Mr. Platt
(Conn.), in an address in opposition to
the pending resolution. Mr. Platt de
clared that it was the purpose of the
advocates of the resolution to override

the solemn declartion of congress that
tho parity of gold and silver coins
should be maintained. "The senator
from Nevada (Stewart) talks about
troubles and misery among the people,"
said Mr. Platt, "but when this govern
ment has, according- to the advocates
of the pending resolution, been given
two measures of value-J-measures that
mean two things'— the|, misery and
trouble we have will he as nothing
compared with what th<?y will be then.
Such a condition would' be worse than
pestilence and famine combined."
Mr. Platt said that if he could be
lieve that this country could coin silver
freely without destroying the debt-pay
ing power of silver, he would be glad to
enter upon that policy. He could not.
however, entertain the ' possibility of
such a policy. . ! 0 '
PLATT CHALLENGED.
Tn the course of a brief colloquy be
tween Mr. Platt on the one side and
Mr. Allen and Tillrnan, Mr. Platt stat
ed this country had ncftv bimetallism.
To thi3 Mr. Chandler took exception^
saying that any definition of bimetal
ism which omitted the free coinage of
both metals at a ratio fixed by the law,
was not only incorrect but obsolete
Mr. Platt challenged Mr. Chandler to
produce any recognized authority
which included free coinage in the
definition of bimetallism. Mr. Platt
maintained that it might not in the
estimation of the silver advocates,
make much difference whether the mil
lionaire wore paid a debt owed him or
not, but he wanted to call attention to
the fact that every pensioner was the
great bondholder, the great creditor of
the country. Every pension is a bond
and the annual interest on the bond is
the amount annually paid upon it.
Whatever meted out to the bondholder
will also be meted out to the soldier.
Mr. Platt closed with an appeal for
the maintenance of a sound financial
system.
Mr. Daniel (Va.) followed Mr. Platt
in support of the resolution. He said
that we were confronted upon all sides
with the clamorous statements of the
gold men that agitation of the financial
question was unsettling business and
destroying the credit of our people.
Yet, he said, the gold men were hold
ing conventions, the financial question
was being investigated by congression
al committees and the president of the
United States in his message to this
congress had advanced propositions in
support of fastening upon the country
the single gold standard.
After an extended discussion of the
silver question, as it relates to thp pend
ing resolution, Mr. Daniel asked Mr.
Hoar whether he thought that $387,
--000,000 of silver certificates ought, as
an essential to the nation's honor, be
redeemed in gold.
Mr. Hoar replied that if such re
demption were necessary to maintain
the parity of gold and silver coin he
would answer yes, but no such subtle,
comprehensive question could be an
swered briefly.
Mr. Daniel concluded at 7 o'clock. On
motion of Mr. Aldrich the senate then
went into executive session and ten
minutes later adjourned.
POSTAL SAVINGS BILL.
Task of Preparing One Delegated to
Two Senators.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.— The senate
committee on postofflces and post roads
today had under consideration the ad
visabilty of establishing postal savings
banks in the United States. The dis
cussion was general and the only con
clusion reached was that Senators Ma
son and Butler should prepare the bill
which could be used as a base for
future deliberations. This was done J
because of the fact that there were a
large number of measures before the I
committee, all looking to the same end. j
It Is intended that the bill to be pre
pared by Messrs. Mason and Butler
shall supplant all these and they were
requested to have it in shape to be
taken up at the next meeting, to be
held a week hence.
A communication was read from
Postmaster General Gary, making sug
gestions regarding the details of the
legislation proposed. Among other
provisions urged by him was one giv
ing largest possible discretion to the
postmaster general in putting the new
system in operation. Mr. Gary stated
that in his opinion the tendency was
to make the interest rate too high.
"The downward tendency of interest
rate is unmistakable," he said. He !
thought a rate too low preferrable to
one too high, and suggested 2 per cent
as a prudent and reasonable rate. He
also suggested the importance of pro
viding certain postofTlces or subtreas
uries as depositories for the postoffice
flirts because of the impracticability
of making payments from Washington
in cape all the depositories should be j
located in Washington.

Probably half fhe people who see

of the commonest jdiseapes and one of
the most obstinate,, People have it for
years, and just because it is not Im

lessness causes no end of suffering.
Carelessness about so simple a thing
as piles has often caused death. Hem
orrhages occur during surgical treat

Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even
in the worst stages, without pain or
loss of blood, quickly, surely and com
pletely. There is only one remedy that
will d<> it — Pyramid Pile Cure.
It allays the inflammation immedi
ately, heals the irritated surface, and
with continued treatment reduces the
swelling and puts the membranes into
good, sound, healthy condition. The
cure is thorough and permanent.
Here is a voluntary and unsolicited
testimonial we have lately received:
Mrs. M. C. Hinkly, 601 Mississippi

been a sufferer from the pain and an

IN A PROTEST AGAINST ALLEGED
DISCRIMINATION IN GRAIN
RATES,
BUT WILL THE COURTS AGREE?
It Remuiun for the Judiciary to En
force the Decree If They
Desire.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.— The in
terstate commerce commission gives
the Chicago St. Paul lines until
March 1 to comply with the terms of
it's decision rendered today in the Min
neapolis rate discrimination cases, but
since it has long since been decided
that the powers of the commission are
! subversive to those of the courts, it is
i very probable that today's decision
will not be complied with. The lines
affected by the decision are the Mil
waukee, Omaha, Burlington and Min
neapolis & St. Louis. The case has
been pending a long time and was
brought by the chamber of commerce
of Milwaukee, charging the railroad 3
with giving Minneapolis discriminating
rates on wheat and flour from lowa,
1 Minnesota and South Dakota points.
I The commission decided that Minne
apolis is given undue and unreasonable
preference and that the roads have no
authority to make a higher rate on
wheat than on flour. This decision,
however, will have no bearing on any
point in Northern lowa or Southern
Minnesota division of the Milwaukee
road.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 26.— The
decision of the interstate commerce
commission in the case of the Milwau
.kee chamber of commerce against
j various railroads In the Northwest is
viewed with great satisfaction. Secre
tary Tangson, of the chamber of com
merce, said: "The decision is satisfac
tory to the chamber of commerce.
Some time ago, rather than have the
case go on indefinitely before the in
terstate commerce commission, we.
abandoned our demand for special dif
ferential rates from specified places
and asked for a differential rate based
on interstate distance tariffs, which
has already been established by the
railroads themselves."
A prominent member of tho chamber
commenting on the decision said: "It
Is what we have been waiting for and
fighting for for three years. We do
not get all we asked for in the original
complaint, but there were such a num- I
ber of things to- be taken into account
that we made a modified demand later
and it seems that it has been decided
in our favor. If the provisions of the
decision are carried out, it will enable
shippers in lowa, Minnesota and South
Dakota to reach this market, instead
of being obliged to ship their grain to
Minneapolis as heretofore. The deci
sion is very satisfactory and very
gratifying to Milwaukee merchants.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.— The Interstate
commerce commission today, in an opinion
by Chairman Knapp, announced its decision
in the case of the Milwaukee Chamber of
Commerce against tho Chicago. Milwaukee
& St. Paul Railway company, and others. Tho
commission ruled that distances by the short
est routes are the proper distances upon
which to base comparison of differentials in
grain rates from the same points of shipmi nt
to such markets as Milwaukee and Minne
apolis. Another point decided is that, al
though carriers serving but one of two com
peting cities, may by reducing rates to tho
city served by them prevent the correc
tion ot an unjust relation of rates to the two
places from common points of supply, it is
nevertheless the duty of the commission to
condemn such a relation of charges and to
indicate the basis upon which the rates should
be readjust* d.
Milwaukee complained that the rates on
wheat and other kinds of grain from shipping
points in lowa, Minnesota and South Dakota
to Milwaukee were unlawful in comparison
with the rates charged on like grain to Min
neapolis. It also claimed that the carriers
wrongfully charged higher rates on wheat
than on flour from some of the shipping
points.
The commission decides that In many In
stances, and in varying degrees, the differ
entials In grain rates to Milwaukee, above
the rates in force to Minneapolis from ship
ping points on and south of the Southern
Minnesota division of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul railway, give preference to Minne
apolis, and subject Milwaukee to unreason
able prejudice and disadvantage. That just
and reasonable differentials in such rates
would be obtained by applying the interstate
distances tariff of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul, or tho Chicago & Northwestern
to the short line mileage to the several points
of shipment to Minneapolis and Milwaukee,
and just and reasonable rates to Milwaukee
would be made by adding differentials so ob
tained to rates from time tn lime in force (o
Minneapolis; that any higher rates to Mil
waukee would be relatively unreasonable and
unjust to that city. Tho commission further
decides that any higher rate on wheat than
on flour between the same points and on tho
same line is unjust discrimination and un
lawful.
THROUGH ALASKA RATES
To Accord With tho Canadian I'a
clflc Tariffs.
CHICAGO. Jan. 26.— Genera] passenger
agents of the roads of the Western Passen
ger association and n presentatives of five
lines of the Central Passenger association
met today to consider the question c,f through
rates to Alaska. The five roads of the lat
ter organization agreed with those of tho
Western Passenger association in adopting
a resolution to the effect that all tho East
ern connections of tho lines represented In
the meeting immediately adopt through rates
to points in Alaska and in the Northwest
territory, which will accord the same through
rates as are used by the Canadian P
through Port Arthur, tho rates to bp made
by using the lowest through rate to the Pa
cific coast basing point, plus the steamer rates
to Alaska. These rat< s are to be applied
through .San Francisco and points north of
that city. The divisions are to bo made on
tho basis of the pro rata per rate. The five
roads of the Central Passenger association
could, of course, not bind their organization
as to the acceptance of the resolution, but
they agreed to recommend it very strongly,
and it is probable that it will be adopted by
the roads of the association which wore not
represented at the meeting.
A meeting is to be held between the roads
of the Western Passenger association and
representatives of the Canadian Pacific to
morrow, which may result in the settlement
of the troubles over the differentials claimed
by the Canadian Pacific on the Alaska busi
ness. It has been Intimated to the V-' I
roads that the Canadian Picifit- will mak<?
some concessions, and in this event there
will not be much trouble in reaching an
agreement.

CHICAGO. Jan. 20— The Tribune says: From
the best of authority it is learned that at
the next annual meeting of the Canadian Pa
cific, Sir William (.'. Van Home, K. C. M. 0.,
will resign as president of the r'.ad. The
fact that the annual passes for 1898 tnd the
stationery for this year do not contain the
name "Sir William C. Van Home. president,"
is pointed out as an indication that he in
tends to step down and out. Sir William Is
not to retire from the service of the Canadian
Pacific entirely, but is to be elected chair
man of the board of directors.
