rewarded by the failure of the enter

authorize such action. Only once have
wa guaranteed the note of citizens in

The canal If built should be built by

Before closing Mr. Turpie stated that
he had discovered that the government
had not guaranteed the bonds of the

Generul Manager of the Canton Expedi-
tion Interviewed.
Sherman Tex. Jan. 10. (Special.)
Your correspondent called upon Mr. Cecil
A. Lyon this evening who was general
manager of the John Grant boom. From
his conduct and general demeanor it
could lie readily see tbut he was disgusted
with the result of the Texas expedition.
Mr. Lyon on being usked the result of
the trip in a hesitating way replied:
"Well there has been a tacit under-
standing between the members of the
delegation that there would be no inter-
views regarding the trip further than
what has already been seen in the press
of the United States but I find the pres-
sure so great that I have divided to yield
und make known the true statu of nf-
fuirs. The facts are that the delegation
cume buck delighted with their experi-
ence having met with an ovation along
the entire route from the date of start-
ing to the time of their return to Dallus.
I have never seen a movement where it
touched such a responsive chord in the
minds and hearts of the people anywhere;
neither have I seen a delegation treated
with such uniform courtesy as was ours.
"Upon our arrival nt Cleveland we
were met by Maj. McKinley. President
Leech of the United Republican clubs
of Ohio and a delegation of the Tippe-
canoe club headed by Mr. Wolcott-president
of thnt club. By them we were
conducted to the Hollendcn hotel where
breakfast was served.
"From there our delegation wns con-
ducted to the rooms of the Tippecanoe
club where an informal reception was
tendered us and which wns attended by
many of the citizens of Cleveland. The
delegation wns then escorted to the pri-
vate offices of Mr. Hanna who made a
very enthusiastic speech of welcome to
the delegation iu which he took occasion
to congratulate Texas for the splendid
vote cast by Texas in the last election
as compared with former years; and he
also said that so long ns he was chairman
of the national republican committee that
Texas republicans would have a friend
in him. This wns responded to by Mr.
Lane who thanked him on behalf of the
delegation for his kindly expressions.
"Our delegation was then escorted to
the train where we embarked for Can-
ton. Upon our arrival at Canton the
delegation fell in line and marched to the
residence of President-elect McKinley
nnd after being introduced Mr. Kane
selected ns spokesman for the delega-
tion made a speech in which he presented
the desires of the Texas republicans
which was responded to by Maj. McKin-
ley. After the formalities were over a
private conference was held with Maj.
McKinley for nbout an hour after which
we returned to our train and embarked
for Texas.
"In conclusion I desire to say for the
edification of the public thnt I don't know
whether John Grant will get into the
cabinet or not but up to this time I have
been claiming thnt to get office in Texas
it would be necessary to have the en-
dorsement of John Grant whose address
is Sherman Tex. und I now know that
I was right."
STILL UNDECIDED.
New York Jan. 10. Governor A. S.
Bushnell of Ohio who is still in New
York says he has not decided to appoint
Mark Hanna to fill the unexpired term
of Senator John Sherman when the lat-
ter resigns to become secretary of state
lie added: "One thing is sure I will
not make up my mind to nppoint Mr.
Sherman's successor until he resigns. He
may change his mind before March 4."

Republican Caucus Choice for United
States Senator From Illinois.
Springfield 111. Jan. 10. Ex-Congress-mnn
William E. Mason was nominated
for Unitid States senator nt the joint
caucus tonight after one of the most bit-
terly fought Imttles in the history of state
politics. Although he has been canvass-
ing the state as a senatorial candidate
for two years Mr. Mason's election wus
regarded by "machine" politicians ns mi
impossibility up to within nn hour's time
of his triumphant nomination the result
being caused by the sudden withdrawal
from the race of Congressman William
Lorimer who has held the almost solid
vote of Chicago and Cook county. The
contest has Im'cii so long drawn out that
legislators were in a mood to be stam-
peded at any minute as the hour for the
caucus drew near and the sudden shift-
ing of Cook county forces to Mason car-
ried the other candidates off their feet.
The tide turned to him with a rush that
carried everything before it nnd the nom-
ination met with but a feeble show of
opposition.
William E. Mason wa born July 7
1850. in Franklinville N. Y.. and is the
youngest of a family of five children. In
1856 his parents moved to Iowa where
after going through the public schools
he was graduted at the college at Bur-
lington Iowa. He studied law in the
office of Thomas Withrow general so-
licitor of the ltock Island railroad. He
came with Mr. Withrow to Chicago as
his clerk.
Mr. Mason was twice n member of the
Illinois house of representative. He was
also n member of the Fifty-first congress
snd once in the state senate.

The most important and constant dutj i
the cabinet or ministry is not oniy io i

trol every item of expense. It has not
only the initative in levying taxes and as-

FIELD OF SPOUT.
INTERNATIONAL CHESS.
Burn of the British Team Refuses
Play in the Match.
I-ondon. Jan. 17. Amos Burn the Liv
erpool chess plnyfr who. according to in
formation received at the Britsh Chess
club has refused to play in the proposed
cable match between (treat Britain i:nd
Amerien on February 12 or 15. has liee
very severely criticised in London and
provincial chess circles. Inasmuch
Burn has always posed as an amateur it
is nil the more incomprehensible why he
would not support the Britishers in tl
coming match. He played on the sec
ond board last year when he was lieaten
by Showalter and as Blackburn has al
ready promised to play on tioard No
against Pillsbury this year it was con
sidered that Burn would think it his duty
to recover his lo:;t game against
Shownltcr this year.
Anybody versed in matters pertaining
to eliess knows what a difference
make to a whole team when a stray
player like Burn refuses to piny and it
is therefore generally expected that the
Liverpool man will lie morally compelled
to take the place on the team lieaten
partly through the defeat administered
to him Inst year by Showalter. It will
be all the more disastrous to the British
crs ns neither Byrd Tinsley or Lee Me
strong enough tor n place on the British
team and ns the team stands now they
hnve only one player of really first-class
merit namely Blackburn. Jacobs At-
kins Blake nnd others who will have to
piny ore ninateurs nnd rank only secon
dary in international tame and it
therefore believed that the Britishers
will scarcely be nhle to fight with snc.vss
against. Pillsbury Showalter Bn'ry
Burrill Hodges Hyines nnd the rest of
the strong American team.

er or not he will succeed is the one nms.

Mrs. Harris relatea her experlenoa
for the benefit of others.
"I had been sick with ulceration
of the womb causing ail kinds of dhv
agreeable experiences rtch as irrita-
bility sleeplessness faintness and at
times hysterics. My physician said H
was the worst case he ever hod. My
bock ached leucorrhcea rery profuse
and I had a severe bearing-down pain.
The physician thought I should never
recover and as the last remedy they
procured your Vegetable Compound.
I had noi token more than one-fourth
of a bottle before I was more com-
fortable. I continued Its use also the
Sanative Wash and Liver Pills. After
using four bottles I was able to be
out and do almost all my work. I
think the Vegetable Compound is the
only medicine that will cure female
complaints and it will reach the wont
eases in a very short time. I kno-w it
