"I; I! h. i mi i " ' 1 it. !! ' ' ' ?' ' jfiAEllAlL FOR THE BLOODlUVLK,Lvnu 'Experience has shown to physicians thaj the majority of diseases have their origin in the derangement or disease of the stomach and other organs of diges tion and nutrition. The stomach is the receptacle in which food is received and thelaboratbry in which it is prepared to nourish the different parts of the body. It prepares brain nourishment in one way, nerve nourishment in another, muscle nourishment in another. When the stomach is "out of order" these various forms of nourishment are only partly or imperfectly' prepared, and nerve, muscle, or brain, as the case may be, is only partly fed, and the result lis pain, which is Nature's protest and "warning. The pain may be in the head or- in the heart, but you must reach it through the stomach or you can't cure it. That is the philosophy on which Dr. Pierce's Go'den Medical Discovery ia prepared. It has absolute control of the stomach and digestive and nutritive system. It cures diseases in head, heart, liver, lungs and other organs by curing the diseased condition of the stomach which prevents the proper nourishment of the various organs and corrupts them by its own diseased condition, in the partial nourishment it provides. In like ' manner " Golden Medical Discovery." purifies the blood, by purifying the stomach and other blood-making organs. It contains no alco hol, or other intoxi cant, and no narcotic. Jl'DGE NOT.

SENATOR FAIRBANKS SPEECH Sopported Vigorous! the Peodiog Mess, ore Proceedlojji ! the Hoose--The Fortification Bill Passed Tie Negro Problem Discussed. By Telegraph to the Moraine Btar. - Washington, March 31. So far as the committee in charge of the meas ure is concerned, the Porto Rican bill was completed to day with the excep tion of two amendments, which Sena tors had requested should lie over un til Monday. The final two daysSle bate on the bill will begin at 11 o'clock Monday. At 4 o'clock Tuesday after noon the vote will be taken on the pending amendments and the bill. The feature of to day's session was an exhaustive, discussion of the pend ing measure by Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana. Particular interest was mani fested by Senators on both sides of the chamber in the speech, in view of the attitude of Senator Fairbanks' col league Mr. Beveridge. He supported vigorously and unequivocally the pending measure, making an argu ment, which some of his colleagues said would attract widespread atten tion. . Consideration of the Porto Rican bill beiog resumed, Senator Bacon, Georgia, made a statement concerning the sub stitute he offered yesterday for. the pending unfinished' business. He de sired, he said, to arrogate to himself no credit for the substitute, as it was the measure originally prepared by Senator Foraker and amended slightly. He could not speak for all the mem bers on his side of the chamber, but he knew that as he had introduced the measure in the utmost good faith some Democrats at least would support it. It presented, he thought, the best propo sition yet made as to Porto Rico, inas much as it provided a free territorial government of the United States. The pending question was on the amend ment offered by Senator Allen, Ne braska, providing that ihe bill should designate Porto Rico as a territory of the United States. Senator McComas received a state ment of Mr. Havemeyer, president of the American Sugar Refilling Com pany, in which he argued in favor of the free admissioa to the Unitrd States of sugar from Porto Rico and express ed the belief that the time would come soon when it would be admitted free. When that section of the bill relat ing to the legislative assembly of Porto Rico was reached, Senator Pettus, Alabama, offered this amend ment: "That the legislative assembly of Porto Rico shall have no power or authority to enact any law in conflict with the constitution of the United States." The amendment was lost 15 to 31. Senator Fairbanks then addressed the Senate in support of the pending measure. . '" Adverting to the provisions of the pending bill, Senator Fairbanks said: "The statement has been frequently made that the duties were modified and imposed at the dictation of the sugar and tobacco trusts. "The only legislation suggested in the present Congress which was in the interest of the sugar and tobacco trusts was proposed by the senior Sen ator from Arkansas (Mr. Jones), who introduced an amendment proposing to refund to those who had paidit, the $2,000,000 collected on: imports from Porto Rico. The money, if the Sena tor's amendment had been adopted, would be returned to the sugar and other trusts and other importer now suing the government. The money collected from the trusts and importers in New York has recently been appro priated by act of Congress and will in a few days be sent to Pono Rico, to be expended in public works, in the cause of education, and in granting relief to the poor people requiring it. "For one; I would regard myself recreant to Jtbe trust committed to me and false to the best interests of the people of the United States, if I did not by vote compel these trusts and their allied interests to pay some part of maintaining the Porto Rican gov ernment which tfiy do pay under the duty upon their raw products, rather than increase the direct taxes upon the people in the island, or, in the alterna tive, appropriate it from the treasury oi tne u nitea estates. "Mr. President, it has not -escaped public attention that & lobby from Porto Rico has been maintained here during the consideration of the pend ing' bill. It is headed by a British subject, who has been insistent for free t-ade between Porto Rico and - the United States and who is one of the largest producers of sugar in the island, having oyer $800,000 invested in his sugar enterprises." The committee amendments, with the exception of two the one relat ing to the question of citizenshiD of Porto Rico and the other fixing the qualifications of a delegate to the House of Representatives, of the United States were agreed .to. Senator Chandler, chairman of the Committee on Elections, gave notice that he would defer asking the Senate to begin the consideration of the case of former Senator Quay on Tuesday next in accordance with the unani mous consent agreement, but that he would ask the Senate to proceed with the case on Wednesday next, either under the order of the Senate or as a subject of the highest possible privi lege.

Not a single amendment was offered and the bill passed as it came from the committee. A three hours political debate was precipitated, many members on both sides beta? drawn intn it Mjf Hemenway, Alabama, in charge or the bill explained that the measure carried $7,092,489; being $3,695,240 less tbah the estimates. He said that the reduction in the estimates had been made because it had' been demonstrated that the govern ment could manufacture its own guns cheaper than it could buy them and the appropriations would be sufficient to keep our gun factories at work eight hours a day for me ensuing year, me government, ne saia, manuiacturea 155 inch guns cheaper by $10,000 than they could be purchased, and 10 inch guns $7,500 Mr.Shattuck.Ohio.under the latitude allowed in general debate, followed with an hour's smach on mnKral nnlit- ical topics, the tariff, expansion and, puutueru eiecuon laws, in tne course of his remarks Mr. Shattuck denounced the inconsistency of Southern states men in demanding that the natives in our insular possessions be given all the immunities of American citizenship, while they were using all their inge nuity to rob the Southern negroes of the constitutional rights conferred Upon them. He took as his text an ex tract from a recent speech of Senator Tillman, of South Carolina. "This distinguished Southern Senator," said Mr. Shattuck, "while pleading for the people in the Philippines, who are by comparison eighty per cent less capable of self govern ment than are any of our people, while claiming for them' alleged con stitutional rights, while claiming that tbey have no right to be governed without their consent, is at the same time admitting, and boasting of it too. iu the face of the government iu-lf. that he sanctions the oppression of unr people, who under our constitution have the same rights exactly as they have themselves'. "Would you shoot a; poor Filipino into submission t" he asks. "Would you force them to become citizens or the United States?" he queries. 'No ! Not if every person in the Phil ippine islands were to peti tion to become citizens, if .. tbey were to, receive the samta in human treatment, after submitting and after becoming citizens of the United States, that millions of our people, who are citizens now, receive in the South at the hands of the Dem ocratic party, in shooting submission into them and forcing them to give up their political citizenship. (Ap plause on the Republican side.) "If you want to learn how the con sent of the governed is obtained in a larger field, right here at home, jus.t read the reports of the contested elec tion cases which come up here annu ally from the Southern States. Why, sir, they vote men down there who have been dead for five years. They stuff ballot boxes. They bull doze and they adopt any measure, and go to every extreme to accomplish their purpose. "So, Mr. Speaker, knowing all these facts, as I know them, I do not attach any importance whatever to the in consistent arguments of these consti tutional expounders of the 'sympathy racket'" . Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, challenged some of Mr.Shattuck's state ments relative to the advantage wmcn. the latter claimed accrued to the coun try from the passage of the Dingley Jaw. Proceeding, Mr. Kicharason con trasted the appropriations immediately Drecedinsr the Spanish war with those during and subsequent to it, contend mg that the latter exceeded tne tormer by $300,000,000 annually. "That sum," said he, "represents the cost of the em pire over the cost of the republic " Alter lurtner deoate me oiu passeu without amendment.

London, April 1,-4 A. HL The War Office issued no further news last night and the dispatches received from the seat of war bear evidence of -having b;en delayed by the censor. According to a special dispatch from Pret6ria,dated,ye8terday, Lord Roberts has commenced his advance north ward. The dispatch says that there are daily skim ishes and that a big battle is imminent. . This, however, may refer to the operations preceding the engagement at Karee siding, which has apparently cleared the way as well as secured an advantage of position whence the next operations may be conducted. Tucker's division is now strongly occupying the Boers' camp at Karee siding, wjth the way ch-ar to Brand fort, which is reported already evacu ated. " -Orders have been received at Cape Ton for the E'gbth division to be dis embarked and sent north immediately on its arrival tht-re.
