formerly :t I'nited States senator from
Illinois--. The senate passed a bill grant
ing Gen. Palmer a pension of $100 a
month, but the house in passing the
bill reduced the pension to $50 a month.
Mr. Gallinger said he understood that
Gen. Palmer was in almost destitute
circumstances anil, while he felt the
distinguished soldier was entitled to the
amount carried by the senate bill, he
did not liiink it desirable to risk a
failure of the bill by sending it to con
ference. He then asked that the bill
as amended by the house be agreed to.
The house amendment was agreed to
and the bill gies now to the president
for his signature.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.— The house

Incorporate in it the Nicaragua canal

The naval appropriation bill was tak
en up and over half the bill was com
pleted during the remainder of the day.
There was no general opposition to
the- measure, although it carries $44,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.— Owing to

is now considered certain that the
Minnesota volunteers will not return

CANAL, BILL ACTION
Vote by "Which It Was Attached to
River an<l Harbour Measure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.— Action of
the river and harbor committee on the
Nicaragua canal bill today was preced
ed by a brief argument by Senator
Morgan, in which he went over the
genernl grounds favorable to the con
struction of the oanal. He controverted
the orinlon that the decision of the
amendment would be detrimental to the
interests of the river and harbor bill,
and expressed a preference for the
river and harbor bill over the sundry
civil appropriation bill, as a vehicle to
carry the canal bill.
There was no prolonged discussion
among the members of the committee,
and there seemed little division of
opinion as to the wisdom of attaching
the amendment to one of the appro
priation measures.
•Some of the members expressed the
desire that the amendment should go
on the sundry civil bill, but a motion
to recommend that It be incorporated
in that measure was voted down, seven
nays to four yeas.
Senator Nelson then moved that It be
made an amendment to the river and
harbor bill, which prevailed, seven to
four, as follows:
Yeas— Messrs. Nelson, Berry, Penrose, Mc-
Bride, .McMillan, Elkins, Jones, of Nevada.
Nays— Messrs. Caffery, Mills, Pasco, Mur
phy.
Senator Frye, chairman of the com
mittee did not vote.
While Senator Caffrey voted against
the amendment he did not indicate any
purpose to oppose the passing of the
bill in the senate, because of the in
corporation of the canal provision. He
joined with all the other members of
the committee in the vote to report the
bill with the amendment added.

Weather Week's Outiiut of Iron
Again Large Klhc in Grain Not
Due to !''<-< It Inn* Demand.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.— R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
"Beyond question business is expend
ing and in many branches it is larger,
notwithstanding speculative combina
tions which tend to reduce it. All
monopolies, or attempted monopolies,
stimulate business while they are com
ing, but tend to stifle It after they come,
and the throng of combinations ana
trusts which have been formed or pro
posed have given a temporary but very
questionable impetus to trade. But be
yond the influence of these there Is a
genuine and substantial enlargement
of business due to the unexampled
prosperity of a growing population.
"The week's output of pig iron Feb.
5 was 237,639 tons, against 243,516 Jan.
1. and 232,528 Dec. 1. The annual week
ly production thus indicated was about
1,000 tons greater in January than in
December, and the unsold stocks were
reduced 43,657 tons In January, so that
the apparent consumption ln manufac
tures was in January 1,110,079 tonjs,
against 1,098,176 ln December. The
stoppage of several furnaces for neces
sary repairs at a time when the de
mand is most pressing, caused some
fear of famine, although quite a num
ber of other furnaces have started
since Feb. 1, or are about to start. Pig
iron has advanced, but the largest con
sumption ever recorded in any month
Is ln part due to the hasty purchases
of products about to be controlled or
advanced in price by a combination.
There are so many of these in the
iron and steel industry that the present
market does not clearly Indicate the
magnitude of demand, and disappoint
ment in pome branches ls not improba
ble. But the rise of $1 in steel rails,
with the entire capacity of all works
engaged until after July 1, is not un
natural, nor the strength in plates for
which the legitimate demand ls beyond
all precedent, and the same is true ot
bars, the quantity required for cars,
railway and agricultural Implement
works being enormous. In pipe the as
sociation lifted prices 5 per cent, with
a very heavy order from Indiana gas
works, as does the expected combina
tion in sheets.
"No fictitious demand has caused the
rise in grain, for the exports continue
so heavy in wheat and corn that the
advance of 3*>_o in wheat ln abundant
ly justified, and the rise of %c ln corn
seems scarcely enough for the occa
sion. When It Is remembered that the
exports of corn thus far this year are
the largest ever known, there is room
for astonishment at the continued for
eign demand. That It persists in spite
of the strong advance in price here
since Sept. 1, is most encouraging. It
is obviously impossible to Judge how
far It may go.
"Nor does the foreign demand for
cotton abate, although the price has
again been raised three-sixteenths dur
ing the past week. The exports have
decreased sonic. but the controlling
fact Is that a remarkable shrinkage in
receipts from plantations appears to
indicate a smaller yield than has hith
erto been expected. It should be re
membered that the receipts have been
greatly hindered of late by bad weath
er, and when It passes away they are
likely to look large as they now look
small, but snow in New Orleans also
means failure to save and market some
cotton which might otherwise be* sav
ed. The heavy demand for goods helps
to advance prices just now, although
no assurance can be given that the
declining price will not presently check
that demand.
"There is much more inquiry for wool
and the manufacturers have a larger
demand for heavyweight goods, but
they maintain that they cannot pay
prices now demanded for wool, and
most of the purchases made appear to
have been at some concessions. Sales
at the three chief markets were 6,160,
--200 pounds, which is about the weekly
consumption with Eastern mills well
employed.
"The minor metals have been running
weaker with a reaction in London, al
though the industries have shown no
abatement of demand in this country,
and the rise in prices here is largely
due to increased consumption.
"Failures for the week have been 178
ln the United States, against 279 last
year, and IS in Canada, against 35 last/
year."
STORMS AND TRA_»E.
"Weather Not So Disastrous to Busi
ness as Had Been Feared.
NEW YORK, Fet>. 17.— Bradstreet's tomor
row will say:
Following the long continued cold wave,
culminating ln heavy snow and sleet storms
and inclement weather generally, throughout
nearly all sections of the country, come re
ports of reviving spring trade, and of efforts
to ascertain the extent to which material
interests have suffered. AH things consid
ered, the damage so far Indicated, while
serious in some sections, has proved less
than might have been expected In view of
I the severity of the visitation. Exception is,
of course, made in the case of the winter
i wheat crop, from which trustworthy reports
I _r to damage are not forthcoming at this
| early period of the year. From the South
come reports of more serious damage, par
ticularly to the growing fruit and vegetable
crops. Even there, however, permanent
damage, aside from the reported loss of tho
■unpicked cotton, seems to be centered in the
states of Georgia, Florida and Louisiana.
Satisfactory reports of a resumption of
spring distribution come from the West, in
duced by a considerable rise in, temperature,
and a good volume of business is reported
in the East and in the middle states, as a
result of the receipt of delayed mail orders,
though transportation is still Interfered with.
Receipts of live stock have been checked
at Western centers, but estimates of losses
of cattle do not much exceed a lo per cent,
ranging downward to as low as 5 per cent,
and this only in the case of cattle on the
ranges.
A satisfactory business appears to be doing
on the Pacific coast, and export business is
fairly active. San Francisco reports consid
erable conservatism among merchants on ac
count of the dry weather. Relief ia hoped
for, however, from the usual spring rains.
A g-ood volume of business has been done
at New York and Boston following the stormy
•weather, and business in dry goods, partic
ularly cottons, hay been fairly active, with
values firmer or tending upward. A better
business is reported in dress woolens also,
and an improvement is even reported In
mens' wear goods for fall delivery. Busi
ne;_ ln woo! has, naturally, been nuiet. but
Boston reports large transaction* In foreign
wools pending.
Among the industries iron and steel are
still extremely active, and further advances
are reported, shared ln by sympathetio gains
in copper and spelter. Consumers of pig
iron who delayed covering their wants are
reported anxious regarding supplies of ma
terials. A regrettable feature, from one point
of view, is ihe reported growing Indifference
on the part" of the American producers to
wards export demand, though excuse for
this is founded in the fact that domestic de
mand 1b sufficient to keep them fully em
ployed. Shipbuilding is likely to be very
active, and reflection of this demand is found
in the urgent inquiry for steel plates at a
number of centers. While the demand for
and movement of lumber has been inter
fered with, the strength of prices ls un
impaired.

STOCK .*-lA<itl_l-'rs STRO-VG.
Neither Hi-ccm Nor Storm Had
Writ !.« ninn l_A>ct I poll I Im-iii.
NEW YORK_ Feb. it— Bradstreefs Finan
cial Review tomorrow- will say:
Reopening on Tq^qdjur, after a three days'
recess, to find mail and railroad communica
tion interrupted b*y (he storm and the at
tendance in Wail street seriously reduced, the
stock market developed unexpected strength.
This, ln fact, continued to bo its chief feat
ure throughout the rest of the week, though
the total tradings were rather below the re
cent level, and there was much more evi
dence of professional than of public sup
port. More or less commission house pur
chasing was attracted within the last day or
so by the steadiness and advancing quota
tions, but the market as a whole had the
appearance of following the- lead of manip
ulators to a greater extent than had been
witnessed since last autumn.
The interest of the street was centered
mainly on a few stocks In which Influences
of the kind Just referred to were conspic
uous, Burlington being the principal feature,
while the Pacifies and some others came ia
for more or leas attention of a similar char
acter. There were few developments in tho
speculation. Rumors, however, were plenti
ful and had much to do with the movement
in the active securities. There was a decid
ed disposition to accept any favorable intelli
gence or views, and the street apparently
made up its mind to disregard any adverse
incidents, such as the interruption of gen
eral business and railroad traffic by the
storm or the damage which it may have
done in the South or other sections. On the
other hand, it seemed to be accepted as a
proved fact that the liquidation of weak
speculative accounts that has been ln prog
ress since the latter part of January had ex
hausted Itself and that the continued ease of
money was calculated to produce renewed
changes, even if the investment demand had
been largely satisfied.
London sales of securities hag slackened
largely, it would seem, because the supply
ls exhausted, but every incoming 6teamship
still continues to bring large consignmenta
of securities, principally of dividend-paying
stocks, standing ln the names of foreign in
vestors. This mass of securities adds to the
floating supply in Wall street, and causes in
creased borrowing, but no effect either on
the abundance or supply of money or of the
current rate of interest can be observed. In
fact, the disposition which existed in some
quarters to look on a tightening of the finan
cial auestlon is among the possibilities of
the immediate future, has measurably sub-,
sided. i
Unfavorable comment is naturally heard
regarding the rapidity with which new in
dustrial combinations are formed, and the
vast increase in the amount of securities of
such concerns. It eeemis. however, that the
conservative way in which they are treated
ln financial oiroles -tends to lessen any dang
er from that source, and speculation in them
is largely confined to outright purchasers of
the securities.
Good railroad earnings continue to be the
rule, and the street has been encouraged to
look for some extremely favorable results in
regard to net earnings as an effect of the
present maintenance of rates and the adher
ence of the companies to established tariffs.
The principal speculative influences of the
week have thus been bullish, and though
some of the leaders are inactive, the inter
ests Which took a position on the long side
have found ample following among the small
er professionals and the large section of the
public which the recent strength of the mar,
ket haia brought permanently, it would ap
pear, back into Wall street.
MOTHERS' CONGRESS.
Member* Are Received at the White
House by Mrs. McKinley.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.— There was
a good attendance at the second day's
session of the Mothers' congress.
Miss Lucy Wheelock, of Boston, de
livered an address on "Froebel's Text
books for Mothers." This paper was
discussed by Miss Williams, of Phila
delphia, who said that uniformity in
life contributed to" the comfort of in
fants and had an influence in after
years.
The treasurer, Mrs. Masters, of Illi
nois, then spoke of the need of money
for carrying on the work of the con
gress.
Mrs. Mumford, of the Philadelphia
board of education, spoke on the duty
of parents In regard to education.
Mrs. Devereaux Blake said there
were many difficulties which should be
removed in the way of women who de
sired to vote for school officers.
Prof. W. B. Powell spoke of the re
lation of home. The physical side of
education was dwelt upon by the
speaker.
Mrs. Wescott took the position that
parents should only see that the child
followed the instruction of teachers,
while Mrs. Mumford and Mrs. Briney
believed that mothers should take a
greater interest in their studies.
Mrs. Berland, the representative of
the Society for Child Study, of Illinois,
gave an account of the work among
parents carried on by the society in the
school house.
The reoresentative of the Sabbath
alliance, Mrs. Nanson, of New York,
spoke of that work of that organiza- I
tion.
The representative of the New Tork
Mothers' union made a report.
The afternoon session, which began
at 2 o'clock, was interrupted at 3
o'clock, to enable the delegates to go
to the White house, where they were
received by Mrs. McKinley.
During the brief session Rev. Charles
Wood, of Philadelphia, gave an inter
esting talk of "Religious Training for
Children."
A paper entitled, "Ethics on Educa
tion," was read by Mrs. Thomas S.
Kirkbride, of Philadelphia.
A Convincing: Argument.
"I don't believe in newspaper
advertising to get a position."
said one young man to another
on a car the other day. "You
may get a few replies, but when
you look them up you will find
they don't amount to much.'*
"I don't agree with you."
"Why?"
"You will admit that you are
out of a job, won't you?" said his
companion.
"Yes."
"You will admit that I have a
good position, won't you?"
"Yes."
"Well, I got my position
through a Sunday Globe Wani
Advertisement. I am earning
money, and you are still without
work. The influence of all your
friends hasn't done you any good
as yet. I con'terid that your ar
gument is wrong."
"I think perhaps you are right.

Treachery.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.— The ad
ministration has determined to extend
the jurisdiction of the United States
over the whole of the Philippine group.
This decision Involves the necessity of
a naval campaign, and this will be in
stituted as soon as Admiral Dewey re
ceives the reinforcements in the shape
of gunboats now on the way to Ma
nila.
It is not anticipated that there will
be a necessity for any formidable
demonstrations, but the very f*j.ct that
the United States government is able
to exhibit a sufficient force to accom
plish the purpose of occupation is ex
pected to deter the natives from profit
less resistance. Owing to the vast num
ber of the Philippine islands, a large
number of gunboats would be required
to visit them simultaneously, so the
programme will be to have the vessels
visit in order the principal towns out
side of Manila, especially those where
the Spanish garrisons were maintain
ed, namely Cebu and Zamboanga. on
the island of Mindanao and some of
the cities on Negros.
The naval vessels probably will be
accompanied by some troop' ■ trans
ports and the soldiers will be landed
where necessary to hoist the United
States flag and take possession formal
ly of the ports. It is understood that
there will be no attempt made at thla
time to displace any of the existing
municipal governments, except where
they prove refractory and offer resist
ance. In fact, a policy of conciliation
will be followed at all points i"n the
treatment of the natives.

EEIGSTOTBEWORLD
FORMER MINNESOTA BOY WANTS
TO COLLECT A PHILIPPINE
EXHIBIT
FOR WORLD'S FAIR AT PARIS
'W. A. Wrigley, «■ Graduate of Moor
head Normal, Who Enlisted as a
Member of Company X, First Cal
ifornia, Asks Attorney General
Doug-Ins to Interest Minnesota
People In Such a. Project.
Attorney. General Douglas yesterday
received an interesting letter from W.
A. Wrigley, private ln Company X,
First California, stationed with the
Thirteenth at Manila. Mr. Wrigley
is a graduate of the Moorhead normal
BChool, and a year ago he went to the
coast to accept a position as instructor
in .the University of California. He
: enlisted with the California regiment
axid! from his letter, it is evident that
he has put his scholastic training to
good use in the Philippines.
The letter is dated Dec. 27, and is as
follows:
Two of my university friends and I have
discussed the advisability of an exhibit from
these islands to the world's fair in 1900. Con
sul Williams has been consulted and is
heartily in favor of the plan, and has writ
ten to President McKinley and Dr. Jordon
recommending us for the position of collect
ing and preparing suoh an exhibit.
The outside world knows very little about
these Islands, and since they have come Into
BUch prominence, now is the time to bring
them hefore the public, and what better
way than by preparing a collection illustra
tive of the people and the resources of this
wonderful country. The reports written by
the men here have no- doubt described the
Manila natives and the adjacent country, but
few have had an opportunity such as I had of
studying the people and the country.
It was my good fortune to obtain a twenty
day furlough, with the privihg? of visiting
the Interior. There were three of us, and
previous to this time only two naval offioers
j had the same opportunity. We went directly
! to Aguinaido and were given passports. We
traveled entirely unarmed, and were reoeived
everywhere with great courtesy and hospi
tality. These people are really wonderful.
The native makes everything, from his house
to a toothpick, with his nolo knife. He has
large farms of rice, raises cattle and hogs,
lias ranches of sugar cane and factories where
the sugar Is coarsely refined; has schools, and
the -work done cannot be surpassed In Amer
ica. I have samples of their work, which,
with a collection of knives, bows and arrows,
wearing apparel, etc., which will be given
to the nigh school at Moorhead.
The native has a natural musical talent.
At one place we visited the orchestra com
posed of boys from 12 to 20 years entertained
us. To say It was line expresses it too
mildly. It was eimply out of sight. There
were eight violinists, and their little bare
feet patted the floor as they kept time, play
ing as hard as they could all the time.
Then there are wood carvers, stone sculp
ters, artists with the brush, doctors, pharm
acists and lawyars among them— ail this in
ffie face of Spanish oppression, which, thanks
to Aglnauldo'a leadership and Dewey, has
been done away with.
I could tell you stories of acts which were
far more atrocious than any committed by the
Turks, or the Spanish in Cuba, or even the
Indians in our own country, when massacres
were common occurences. But it is all over
now. We have the islands beyond a doubt.
The one thing to do now is to develope the
natural resources. To do this capital must
be interested. The people's prejudices must
be turned to the support of the administra
fton.
What better way than by exhibiting them to
the world. Thousands would see the exhibit
where one will see the islands. Soldiers writ
ing home have described the Manila native
who frequents their barracks at the expense
of the well-educated and refined fellow we
found where Spanish Influences were not so
prominent. Consul Williams and Maj. Stern
berg believe that this will be of gTeat bene
fit to the country-
Everything is pretty well settled here now.
Our duties are li_jht, and barrack life is
not half so unpleasant as life in the trenches
on hard tack and canned horse. We are veTy
well acclimated now, and are well able to
stand an exploring trip.
Mr, Wrigley also requests Mr. Doug
las to use his influence with the Min
nesota congressional delegation to se-
cure the sanction and assistance of tha
Washington officials in collecting: and
getting the exhibit ready for shipment
to Paris next year.
TO SEEK THE BULGARIA.
LONDON, Feb. 17.— The Hamburg-
American line has arranged to send the
powerful tug Warrior, now at New

steamer Weehawken, which landed at
Ponta Delgada, Azores islands, with
twenty-fty* women and children taken

" One Good Turn
Deserves Another/
It is so easy to go through
life doing good and helping
to make others happy. A
lady <who had been ill zuith
a complication of troubles,
having been thoroughly cured
and noiv enjoying perfect
health, felt it a duty to tell
her friends that the specific
that brought her back to health
ivas Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Thus, after Hood's had served her well, she
felt it deserved a good turn at her hands.
Thousands tell the same story of blood puri
fied and health restored. Hood's Sars-aparilla
possesses merit peculiar to Itself.
Dyspepsia — "Suffered everything but
death for years with dyspepsia. Nothing re
lieved me until I took Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and It made and kept me well. Can eat any
thing 1 wish." Mrs. Eugene Murphy, Hull's
Mill, Danbury, Conn.
Eciema- "We had to tie the hands of
our two-year-old son on account of eczema on
face and limbs. No medicine even helped
until we used Hood's Sarsaparilla. which soon
cured." Mrs. A. Van Wyck, 123 Montgomery
street, Paterson, N. J.
Three Troubles— "I had rheumatism,
weakness of the heart and stomach, with
scrofula. Nothing helped me until I took
Hood's Sarsaparilli; it relieved me in short
time." Mrs. R. P. Wallis, Winnisquam, N.H.
