Br Tftitirr&Dt V tee Mornlntr star Washington, Feb 9. During al most the entire session of to-day the Senate bad under" consideration the Naval Appropriation bill. Practical ly the bill was completed when it was laid aside for the day, all of the com mittee amendments being adopted; but as the measure was about to be placed on its nassaee. 8enator Rutin North Carolina, precipiated a dUcus sion of the armor plate question..- In order to enable some others to speak upon the matter, the bill was laid aside until Motidav EuloiriM nnnn the late Representative Alfri-d O Bar- mer, of Pennsylvania, concluded the session. The passage at the beginning of the session or ine oeoaie or a bill granting a pension of $50 a month to Stacy H.

He said there was such sensational animosity in the House committee that members refused to permit action upon the bill for the benefit of this old Mexican veteran. ' Is the war over or is it notfrin- I manded Senator Tillman, with vehe mence. "Let us fiiid, out whether it is or not." "I awear by the'Almighty God, that I will not let another pension bill pass this Senate until this old man gets justice!" The resolution offered yesterday by Senator Berry calling upon the Presi- aent ror information as to whether ihe American minister in Coina has joined with the representatives of other powers in d manding the execution of Prince Tuan and other Chinese of flcials, was adopted without debate. While the Naval bill was under consideration Senator Butler, called attention to tbe paragraph in the bill appropriating $4,000,000 to pay for armor plate already contracted for. If the bill has provided the entire sum necessary to pay for armor contract ed for, it would ca'rry.for that purpose he said $16 664 550. He declared the Senate absolutelv was ni-ttrlnnVri considering the matter now because Congress has authorized the Secretary of the Navy to pay for armor what ever the armor trust could bold bim up to. in the course of his sneech. in u . . i ue reviewed me old By Tatecraph to tbe Morning Btar.

The flames from the main building of the Armstrong fac tory where the hre originated, spread with astonishing rapidity and five alarms were sounded in quick succes sion, calling all the engines ia tbe lower city to the scene. Great ex cuwment prevailed because the em ployes of the cork factory, number ing 1500. were all at work and it was reared that many of tbe girls and boys in tbe building would not be able to escape. Fortunately, the several es capes and tbe firemen's ladders pro viaed ample means for the safety of all.

In 1865 I had to give up business on account of very poor health. I was suffering from a num ber of old chronic complaints. Among the rest I had complete nervous pros tration from which I suffered for six vears. in June, 1891, I commenced tne use of fame's celery compound a.rter laaing a few bottles I found that the old complaints began to ease upwuicn encouraged me to keep on wiiu tne compound. 1 soon got over ii or tnoae troubles that had clung to mo iur ao long, ano got out and vas more like myself.

It is the one preparation con sidered worthy the name of a tm nerve food and blood remedy by phy sicians throughout tbe country. It is prescribed by them in every State in the Union to tone up the system, regulate the nerves, and restore health and strength. Nothing in the past has ever ap pmached it In power of building up weakened nerve tissues and giving strength to tbe tired body. In severe cases of persistent headache, dyspepsia, neuralgia, and sleeplessness, due to nervous feebleness. Fame's celery compound has a -record of rapid and lasting cures that embraces every city a-d town in the wide sweep of tbe United States. lis remarkable power over disease lies in its active replacing of worn out parts by new, healthy ones, and its healing and nurifvinsr action mon tne most minute tissues of the body. The heavy, alarming pain in the back and loins disaonears: the vmw- ing paleness, nervousness, and loss of flesh is stopped, and a bright, buoyant reeling gradually takes the, nla that unending sense of tire and vou8 depression. An improved appetite, sound di gestioo, uninterrupted sleep, and an energetic nervous condition invariably follow the use of Paine's celery com- ATTACKED BY HIGHWAYMAN. moocr uot Away With a Satchel Coatalalog $1,100, But Was Caoght aid the Moaey Recovered.
