I Washington, Feb. 10.—By tk«
phritie rote of IN to 41 the Nub Tm*
4mj rejected the conference report oi
the military academy appropriation bill
This action oame at the eooolaeion of »
spirited debate upon the provisioni
against baaing inserted in the report
by the conference committee of the tw<
branches of congress. Discussion oi
the provision which was precipitated a<
the close of Monday’s session by Mr
Daniel of Virginia, occupied the greatei
pvt of the day’s session and the report
•f the conferees was rejected because
it was regarded by a large majority ol
the senate as too drastic and while nc
instructions could be given the con
fereos by the senate it was understood
that to secure favorable notion by thi
senate a modified provision as to the
penalty for hazing would hav« to b<
presented and agreed upon by the con-
ferees.
Early in the day Mr. Deboe of Ken-
tucky delivered his announced speech
npon the Nicaragua canal. He reviewed
at length the proceediugs which led uj
to the present situation and strongly
advocated the construction of the water
wav by the United States. An effori
was biado to obtain consideration of tht
bill reviving tho grade of vico admiral
of tho navy for tho benefit at Rear Ad-
mirals Sampson and Schley, but it wat
unavailing.
Tho house spent the day npon the
sundry civil appropriation bill. Nr
amendments wort! placed upon the bill
Mr. Cannon reported the last general
appropriation bills, tho deficiency bill.
Mr. Hitt, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, reported back the reso-
lution of inquiry introduced by Mr.
Naphon of Massachusetts and it was
adopted.
It is as follows:
"Resolved, that the secretary of tht
treasury be requested to inform the
house if ‘our ports or waters’ have been
used for tho exportation of horses, mules
and other supplies for use iu South
Africa, and if so, to what extent and
what steps have been taken to prevent
the same, also the number of horses and
mules that have been shipped since tht
beginning of the war in South Africa
to the present time; giving the ship-
ments from each port and the dates.”
A somewhat similar resolution of in-
quiry addressed to the secretary of state
was also adopted

New Orleans, Feb. 30.—Visitors con-
tinued to pour into town Tuesday morn-
ing from every section of the country.
The hotels were only able to offer cots tc
those who had failed to engage rooms
in advance and every boarding house in
the city was en«d ffnfal keepers and
ethers say the crowd was the largest
‘ever gathered here during Mardi Oral
celebration.
The event of the day was the glitter-
ing pageant of his majesty Rex. Rex
ohose as hla subject, "Human Passion*
and Characteristics,” illustrating it in
30 gorgeous and beautiful tableaux. The
pageant passed through avenues fairly
packed with people. There was much
promiscuous masking and the scenes on
the streets during the day were thor-
oughly picturesque and amusing. Rex
was impersonated this year by Alfred
Hennen MoreyB, son of the late John A.
Moreys. He introduced his queen. Miss
Bessie Merrick, at the carnival last
night, where a splendid popular ball-
was given.
The carnival was brought to a close
last night with the pageant of Comus,
which equaled in beauty the superb
demonstration of the Krewe of Proteus
Monday night.

It has done me more good than all the doctor*. I have been troublei
female weakness in its worst form for about ten years. I had leucorrhoea
and was so weak that I could not do my housework.
I also had falling of the womb and inflammation of the womb and ovaries,
and at menstrual periods I suffered terribly. At times my back would ache
very hard. I could not lift anything or do any heavy work ; was not able to
stand on my feet long at a time. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for
doctors but they did me no good. Sify husband’s sister wrote what the Vege-
table Compound had done for her, and wanted me to try it, but I did not then
think it would do me any good. After a time, I concluded to try it, and I can
truly say it does (kll that is claimed for it. Ten bottles of the Vegetable Com-
and seven packages of Sanative Wash have made a new woman of me, I have
had no womb trouble since taking the fifth bottle. I weigh more than I have
in years; can do all my own housework, sleep well, have a good appetite, and
now feel that life is worth living. I owe all to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound. I feel that it has saved my life and would not be with-
out it for anything. I am always glad to recommend it to all my sex, for I
know If they will follow Mrs. Pinkham’s directions, they will be cured.”
Gratefully yours, Mrs. Annie Thompson, South Hot Springs, Ark.

New York, Feb. 20.—Consul Adelbert
Hay is receiving a warm welcome from
his friiuls iu London, says the Tribune
correspondent at London. He is mod-
est and reticent and talks like an hon-
est neutral who has done hts work with
strict impartiality. He distributed 4000
letters among the Briti^Ja prisoners and
arranged money remittances for- them,
yet commanded tho respect of President
Kruger, Reitz and tho Boor officials,and
when he left Pretoria received a fare-
well dinner from the burghers. On the
other hand his relations with General
Roberts and General Kitchener wert
most friendly and the British prisoners
were grateful for his timely services. He
refers in the kindest terms to the lead-
ers on each side and avoids any display
of partisanship. Mr. Hay will spend a
fortnight quietly in London on the con-
tinent before sailing for America.
