“I was feeling as miserable as any one
could feel, tired all the time, many times
unable to go out ' on the street even after
I had started. If I went up one flight of
stairs I felt as though I should fall. I
had alpitation of the heart and suffered
grea 1y with catarrh. of the head and

Sarsa arilla, an soon felt better. I used
the t ird bottle and I then felt like
a different person. I hope others in ill

Hood’s Sarsaparilla and use it aithfully

SENATE ling” ACTION
Venezuelan Commission Bill Passeo
by the Upper House.
FULL TEXT OF THE MEASURE
Some Amendments Made and Rejected
Platt Against Delay and Sherman
For Deliberation—Comments
of Foreign Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 —0ne of the mom
eloquent and significant prayers in' thr
history of congressional procedure was de
livered by the blind chaplain 'of the sen
ate, Rev. Dr. Milburn, at the opening 0.
the senate proceedings today. With thl
Venezuelan resolution pending and thi
debate about to be renewed, the direci
reference to the horrors of war and the
invocation against the shedding of blooc‘
between the two great English speaking
people were followed with breathless at-
tention by the crowded galleries and wit):
noticeable attention and respect by the
senators. At the close of the prayer, or.
motion of Mr. Mitchell (Rep, Or. ), the
senate directed that the
spread at length on the record, an un~
usual mark of respect.
‘ “Forbid, ” invoked the chaplain in im-
pressive tones, “that the two foremost na-
tions of the world, which bear the name on
Christians, with one language, one faith,
one baptism, one Lord, shall be embroiled
in war, with all its horrors and herbs»
risms. Grant, we beseech thee. that we
may be saved from imbruing our hands
in each other’s ‘blood. Let the spirit of
justice and magnanimity prevail among
the rulers of both nations and among the
people, the kindred people of the twc
lands.”
After the prayer the chaplain moved to
the arena in the rear of the chamber,
where he received the congratulations and
thanks of many senators.
A resolution was agreed to asking the
postmaster general for information as tc
the alleged practice of fining postal em-
ployees.
Mr. Mitchell (Rep, Or.) in introducing
a bill concerning the tariff on wool gave
notice that he would move to pass it in-
corporated in any tariff measure coming
from the finance committee.
Minor Resolutions.
Mr. Chandler (Rep, N. H.) secured the
suspension of the rules and the adoption
of a resolution calling on the secretary of
the treasury for information as to the im-
ports into the Unit-ed States during the
last five years from Great Britain and her
dependencies; also as to the extent of
British tonnage entering the ports of the
United States.
The resolution of Mr. Peffer, directing
the interstate commerce commission to
inquire into the recent traffic agreement
between various railway lines was agreed
to.
The resolution of Mr. Allen (Pop,
Nob.) for a coinage of silver to meet the
exigencies of war came ever from yester-
day and Mr. Allen addressed himself to it
in a facetious vein. He read, with run-
ning comments, Mr. Chandler’s bill “to
increase the armament of the United
States. ”
He referred also to the belligerency of
the bills presented by Mr. Hale (Rep,
Me.) to increase the navy and Mr. Davis
(Rep, Minn.) inquiring as to British ag-
gression in Alaska. And yet, said Mr.
Allen, this was all the result of the enun-
ciation of the Monroe doctrine. This doc—
trine was put forward by the president as
though it was something new, as though
it had never been heard of before. In the
judgment of Mr. Allen, the president rec-
ognized that having lost the confidence of
the American people it was desirable to
adopt this means‘to restore to some'extent
the respect and confidence‘of the people.
If the threatening front presented by the
president, if these belligerent bills, were
offered in good faith, then, said the sena-
tor. it was essential to prepare for the
tremendous outlay attending such a con-
flict. He urged as a measure of financial
safety that the free coinage of gold and
silver on equal terms be considered by the
finance committee.
Mr. Platt (Rep, Conn.) sought to side
track the resolution by moving a reference
to the finance committee. This motion
was defeated. .
The Venezuela Commission.
his cleared the way for a. renewal of
the direct consideration of'the Venezuelan
bill, as discussed yesterday and as amend-
ed by the committee on foreign relations
today. Mr. Morgan presented the amend-
ed bill and asked its immediate considera-
tion. The amended bill is as follows:
“That the sum of $100,000, or so much
invocation be
could not be construed in anyway as:-

ments would improve the-bill. , .-
He had no doubt that if made they
would be,accepted by the hopse..;j'-', "'i‘.{"1.~“..
“It seems to me,” he said. “that all thli
is too hasty; that we are too eager. Let
us take our time to deliberate and no
rush into the matter. ” " " ' ' ' '
After considerable discussion, in whlcl
most of the senators participated, th:
amendments injected by the'senate com
mittec on foreign affairs were laid on thl
table. The house bill was then taken 11}
and passed in its original form. The bil‘
will now go to the president.
THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION.
Gossip as to the Probable Personnel 0
That Important Body.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.——=It is pointet
out here that no matter how the admin
istration might. regard Mr. Bayard’:
, speeches, still, as they were characterizec
.by expressions of good will toward thn
British people and hope that nothing
might ever come between the two greai
English speaking peoples and cause blood
shed, his recall based upon any sucl
grounds very naturally might be taken it
Great Britain as an evidence of hostilt
purpose, which it is extremely inexpedieni
to convey at this of all times.
The feature of the sitiiation today 1!
Washington is the firmness of the convio
tion in all circles that there is no substan
tial basis for a war Scare, and that if tur
bulent spirits on both sides of the Atlan
tic can be held in check, the way is stil.
open to a settlement of the Venezuelan
question alike honorable to all partie:
concerned and without bloodshé‘ . There
is a growing indisposition to crowd Greai
Britain by refusing to treat the subjeci
with that deliberation that is permissibl}
in all diplomatic negotiations and thus
place her in a position where the issur
might become one of national pride in-
stead of one to be settled soberly and ju-
dicially on its merits as a question of fact.
This was evidenced in the abandonmeni
of the idea, which was in favor yesterday
in some quarters, of fixing an unreason-
ably short time limit on the work of the
proposed commission, and still mort
strongly by the exclusion of the location
of the boundary line from the task set f0)
the commission and the limitation of its
work to a report of the facts regarding the
divisional line.
Attention has been drawn to the ques-
tion of the composition of this commission
by the action of the senate in suspending
the law prohibiting any employee of the
government from drawing two salaries,
for it is understood that this is the direci
outcome of a suggestion made to either
Senator Morgan or Senator Lodge by Sec-
retary Olnoy and indicates that at least
one prominent official of the government
is contemplated as a member of the com-
mission. As Justice Harlan of the supreme
court has actively interested himself in
this matter and has been in consultation
with Secretary Olney thereon, it is sug
gested that he has been kept in mind as a
suitable person for membership. Another
name that has been broughtforward is
that of Frank C. Partridge, who was noi
only solicitor of the department of state,
but afterward, and for some time during
Secretary Gresham’s administration.
United States minister to Venezuela, but
is now engaged in private business in
Vermont. -
Mr. Partridge is reported to have mad
3 special study of this whole boundary
controversy while on the ground in Vene-
zuela. and is consequently better informed
than any other public man in the matter,
of the details.
In the class of government officials,
»again, the name of Assistant Secretary
Rockhill of the department of state is
prominently mentioned, and on the out-
side are suggested Mr. Coudert and ex-
Minister Phelps. ‘ -’
Speaker Reed called at the White House
today and saw the president just before
the cabinet meeting. It is assumed that
his purpose was to consult with the presi-
dent to ascertain whether, in his opinion,
it would be advisable for congress to fore-
go the usual holiday recess in order to be
in readiness to meet any emergency that
might arise. .
The Feeling In England.
LONDON, Dec. 21.—As a reflex of the
copious American telegrams indicating a
more pacific feeling, and especially as a
result of the opinions of the presidents oi
chambers of commerce in America in de-
claring that while they indorse the presi-
dent’s message they do not want war, the
situation here is much better, and the
general opinion prevails that the senti-
ment of the American business commu-
nity in particular is pacific, and that a
settlement of the dispute will be reached.
Baron Rothschild, discussing the situa-
tion, said: “From a business point oi
view, opinions cannot differ. All I want
is peace.”
A dispatch to The Standard from Paris
liquidate,
ent" undaton'Wednesday night, was, ac-
""cordfnig" to dispatches received ' here, ’- dis;.
approved at Washington excites much
comment. _ . ' ' p ..
The'Daily Telegraph-says, “The beau-
tiful, noble words which Mr. Bayard has
“spoken-at the rightfmoment remind us
that the real, true American people how
no part in the unworthy political gam-
bling of the kind lately witnessed.”
The Westminster Gazette, referring tc
the same subject, says. “Even in the pres-
ent excitement President Cleveland will
scarcely remove the ambassador for re-
ferring to the tw0 nations as brothers. ”
Comment In Europe.
Paurs, Dec. 21.—The asécretary of the
United States embassy here, Mr. Henry
Vignaud, in an interview in Gil Bias,
published today, is quoted as saying:
“The United States cannot permit any
nation to forcibly annex any American
territory. In this respect the doctrine oi
President Cleveland is more moderate
thanthe opinion of the immense major-
ity of Americans. Our only fear is that
men' of prudent minds, like Mr. Cleve
land, will be overwhelmed. It is certain
that the United States will yield nothing,
and Great Bxitain, who has everything to
lose in case kof war, will recede, for war
means that Canada will enter the federa- -
tion of the United States, and that English
trade will be destroyed within a, month
after the outbreak of hostilities. A few
shells thrown into anopen port will cost
England dear. It would'be the ruin of he:
col’onial empire.
will take advantage of the occasion to set-
tle the questions of Egypt and Siam, and
Russia will advance her interests in the
direction of India. These are the reasons
why Great Britain will recede. The Unit-
ed States cannot yield a point of the prin-
ciples of the message. "
Sir Charles Dilke, the well known Eng-
lish member of parliament, who is now in
this city, in an interview today is quoted
as saying that he approves of the attitude
of the Marquis of Salisbury on the Vene-
zuelan question and considers that arbi-
tration is (finpossible. He- is said, how-
ever, to~ have stated that an outbreak of
hostilities would be too deplorable to con-
sider and added that the conquest of Can-
ada was possible, but it would be at the
cost of sacrifices similar to those of the
war of secession.
M. Francois Deloncle, the anti-English
member of the chamber of deputies, in an
interview in Le Matin today declares
that the United States 'has the law on
her side, and that compulsory arbitration
between European nations and America
is an excellent idea.
Russia. Hopes For Peace.
ST. Pn’ruuspcm. Dec. 21.—The Rus-
sian newspapers generally discuss the
Venezuelan question and express the be-
lief that it will have a pacific issue. The
Novosti considers that the matter isa con-
flict with the interests of the whole of
Europe, and that the mediation of certain
European powers and a new and peaceful
settlement, therefore, would be opportune.
STOCK
Enormous ’I‘r:>nanctions Reported In New
Eur-ls~~-‘v‘z’:cr f’f‘iii'is the Cause.
I‘Zizw Your. Dec. :23.--—A general selling
movement. closely resembling a. panic in
many «if its {ent-uses developed an the
Stock Eswhnupn at the opening of busi-
ness “ACRE. 'l bare was :1 wild rush to
and this. aided by extensive
selling for short account, caused the deal-
ings in mo to enormous proportions
within a f .' 7. inutcs from the time the
chairman's gavlc fell. Although the situ-
ation was much like a panic in some re-
spects, that term could not literally be ap—
plied to it, for :1 definite cause for the gen-
eral alarm existed. This was the action
taken by the English financial leaders
yesterday in holding a. conference to con-
sider the advisability of calling in their
American credits. ‘
Apprehension that action looking to
such a step might be taken had been felt
by local financiers ever since the presi-
dent scnt his Venezuelan message to con-
gress, and the announcement that it had
been seriously considered produced its
natural effect. The amount of England’s
American credit is so large that their wit-li-
drawal would have the most for reaching
results, and would seriously interfere with
the recovery of this country from its re-
cent financial and commercial proStration.
For this reason the news that a meeting
in London yesterday had discussed such a.
project created general consternation.
The fact that those who were present at
the meeting decided to defer action until
the real public sentiment of this country
in regard to the Venezuelan affair was
better known to them made no difference.
The/fact that such a meeting had been
held was enough.

by and with the advice and consent of
the senate, to investigate and report to
him the facts in regard to the divisional
line between the republic of Venezuela
and British Guiana, provided that sec-
tion 2 of the not approved July 3]., 1894,
making appropriations for the legislative,
executive and judicial expenses of the
government shall not apply to any com-
missioners appointed under this act. "
Mr. Morgan briefly explained the nature
of the proviso, which was intended to
overcome that feature of the present law
which did not permit a public official to
occupy two government places with com;
pensation.
The first speaker, after Mr. Morgan had
explained the amendments, was Mr. Platt
(Rep, Conn.) who said delay would be con-
strued in England as hesitation on our
part, and said it was not essential to
change the bill. As to that part which
changed the wording as to the report of
the commission upon the true divisional
line or the facts in the case, he claimed
that the facts would be the divisional line.
The amendment of the senate would be
construed as receding on the part of the
senate, and the senate should notify Great
Britain that America was behind the pres-
ident. As to 'confirmation by the senate,
Mr. Platt said it was unimportant and
unwise. It had never been questioned
that the executive had the right to ap-
point agents to ascertain facts regarding
foreign countries. He referred to the ap-
pointment of Mr. Blount to Hawaii as ob-
jectionable because he had created him an
officer with power to act and supersede
fofficers confirmed by the senate.
; Mr. Sherman, who followed, said the
president had been approved unanimously
by both houses of congress. England was
not making any fresh aggressions, and
fume now taking the matter very serious-
Ely. He thought that the dispute would
ibe settled honorably and that no Ameri-
gcan blood would be shed in this dispute.
gThe fact that the senate amended the bill
feelings for the United States, yet their
opinion unanimously condemns President
Cleveland.”
The press of London and the provinces
continues to be moderate in tone. The
Birmingham Post, organ of Joseph Cham-
berlain, secretary of state for the colonies,
says, “ We rely much on the serious reflec-
tion of the better class of Americans.”
The Bradford Observer remarks: “So
far as this nation is concerned, it should
be assumed from the outset that under no
conceivable circumstances can the ques-
tion be made a sufficient excuse for war. _
At all cOsts we stand for peace. ”
These two opinions are only typical of
the general drift of opinion in the prov-
inces.
The Globe this afternoon says it sees no
improvement in the situation and advises
Great Britain to “keep cool.” “But be
ready, as it would be unfair to the Amer-
icans themselves to have them imagine
our horror of fighting is so great that we
should be found unready at the last mo
ment. If the United States is determined
to seize the wretched Venezuelan question
as a pretext for conflict,~-we must not be
allowed to rush into it blindfolded.” _
The St. James Gazette remarks, “Ev-
ery day gained _ is something, as it gives
more time for the reflective Americans to
assert themselves. ”
T. P. O’Connor’s Sun says today: “To
us,” whose public men are almost without
exception honest, it is incredible that
statesmen should be prepared to bring
misery and death 'to thousands for the
transient glories of office. Yet to Presi-
dent Cleveland such methods are possi-
ble.” The paper also says that “the
southern states must be reckoned with.
‘Yankee’ is yet a. term of .reproach in the
south, and the tattered war flags of the
capital, Richmond, are revered and sacred
relics. The name of J efierscn Davis is a
greater one to-conjure with than Cleve-
land. There are yet men living in the
south who dream that the stars and bars
