A BLAZE OF RADIANCE
doesn't alway mean a plentitude
of heat. There's the Aurora Bore
alis, for instance But when the
light emanates from the combus
tion of coal from our yard, there's
certainty of an abundance of heat
back of the brightness. Our coal
has a way of burning that means
business, and our wagons will
drive up to y "ur doo in response
to" a mail, telephone or personal
order.

wrong to try to crowd a lot of impor

the new congress assembled immedi

THE CUBAN QUESTION. '
Senator Lodge probably came very
near voicing the opinion of President
McKinley, when he said: "Before the
United States can give its approval to
any constitution, or its recognition to
any independent Cuban government,
it must be assured that there is no pos
sibility of any assumption of the Cu
debts incurred by Spain. We also have
the right to ask for proper guarantees
in regard to relations of Cuba with
other powers and as to places for nav
al stations necessary to the United
States."
President McKinley said to a party
of senators: "Just as soon as the Cu
bans are ready to attend to their own
affa'rs, we must turn their govern
ment over to them.

Washington. Feb. 11 Senator
Spooner has offered an amendment to
the army appropriation bill, embody
ing the views of the republican sena
tors and meeting President McKin
ley's wishes as to legislation providing
civil government for the Philippines
It is short but comprehensive, giving
the president authority "for the estab
lishment of civil government and for
maintaining and protecting the inhab
itants of said islands in the free enjoy
ment of their liberty, property, and re
ligion; provided that all franchises
granted under authority hereof shall
contain a reservation of the right to
alter, amend or repeal the same." If
the democrats do not filibuster to pre
vent it, this amendment will be adopt
ed. An amendment to the same bill is
now being prepared by republican sen
ators, naming the conditions under
which the president will be authorized
to withdraw our military authority
from Cuba, and will be submitted this
week. It is believed by republican
senators, that if these two amend
ments can be put through, the nece s
sity for an extra session of the nt xt
congress, will be obviated, as the last
named will tell the Cubans exactly
what they must do to get our troops
withdrawn, thus meeting the presi
dent's wishes that congress should
name the conditions.
THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL. '
It is a little difficult to say whether
the attempt to force 4 vote on the ehid"
subsidy bill, by holding night session
last week, improved the chances of
that measure or not. Its supporters
still express confidence that it will be
passed at this session, and it is known
that negotiations are going on looking
to an agreement to set a lime to take ja,
vote, but its opponents are still out
wardly putting up a stubborn opposi
tion. The reaU trouble seems to be
that some of the republican senators
decline to consider the bill a party
measure. They are not opposing it,
and if the bill is voted upon, they will
probably vote for it, but they are not
actively trying to get it to a vote, and
to that extent are playing into the
hands of its opponents. There is con
siderable talk of the river and harbor
bill being used as a club to force the
opponents of the shipping bill to allow
it to be voted upon. It cannot be pos
itively stated that this will be done,
hut it is a fact that the river and harbor
bill has not been reported to the sen
ate, and when Senator MacMiJlan,
chairman of the commerce committee,
which has charge of it, was asked
when it would be reported, he replied:
"Wait until the ship subsidy bill is out
of the way and I will tell you more
about ifc.'i Another senator expressed
the opinion that if the shipping bill
failed! the river aud harbor bill would
either fail or be cut in half.
MINISTER WD.
The state department will take Lo
action on the private letter written by
the Chinese minister, criticising Gen.
Otis, for having applied the Chinese
exclusion laws of the United States to
the Philippines, the minister having
voluntarily called at the department
and explained that the letter was not
written for publication, and that he
meant no discourtesy either to Gen.
Otis or this government. He also call
ed attention to the fact that he had
publicly protested, under instructions
from his government against the appli-

Everybody is invited to the PURCHASERS' PICNIC at The
Racket Store, which is located far away from the High Price
district.
The BARGAIN TRAIN conducted by J. B. Lyda will carry you ove
the road to Highest Ideals and Lowest Prices at greatly reduced
rates, for he is moving prices downward at every turn in the
road, and to buy of him means to round your dollars with a larger
circle of value than you have ever done before. His -endeavor,
now as ever, is sell for small profits and serve satisfied customers.
Every one who attends this picnic is delighted with the trip, add
carries home with him trophies of the victory over High Prices.
His various lines are all satisfactory, for he keeps only Goods
that sell
And wear as well.
And by coming to the Racket Slore you dodge the Wedge of
Profit found at other places that cleaves your purse in twain
and leaves you helpless. ' .
Bees that go earliest gather the most honey,
0 Racket Store costomers save the most money,
So ride around and stop around at J. B. Lyda's Racket Store
and examine prices for yourself.

When a sick Chinaman consults a
doctor he expects the prescribed medi

nuently most of the medical practition

some red-hot mixture, such as tinc
