I The Lexington Dispatch. \ Wednesday, April 20, 1904. Panama Canal. Washington, April 14 ?The senate today began consideration of the bill providing for the government of the Panama canal zme. The greater part of the day was occupied by Mr. Morgan in support of amendments offered by himself, but none of them were accepted, and the reading of the bill was nearly half completed. Mr. Morgan attacked the Panama Canal company and contended that the Uaited States should proceed to carry into effect tbe previsions of tbe treaty with Panama regardless of tbe demands of tbat company. Mr. MorgaD spoke of the delay in paying the 10,000,000 to Panama and imploring R?publican senators to give tbe reason for it. "You know what tbe reason is," be said, "I do no*; give it to us." He accused tbe president cf defying tbe law in yokiDg the payment of tbe $10,000,000 to Panama with tbe payment to tbe new PaD&ma Canal company and again referring I to the difficulty of securing information, exclaimed, "in tbat nest of j fraudulent peculators in Paris, or possibly in New York if not still nearer home, is to be found tbe explanation of tbe mystery and delay. Somebody is going to profit by it. Who is ii?" ?* ?* ?j t i Air.

He suggested that "Moeqaieto question'' has been stirred up to disguise a plan on the part of Great Britian to bring about the building of a canal by the Costa Rica-Nicaraguan route. The senate adjourned until tomorrow. How's This. We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0.

The old trouble of wilcat insurance companies is breaking out again and the comptroller general is preparing a black list of the companies who have not complied with the State lawsT Some of the companies are not necessarily "wildcats," as that usually implies capitalization of many thousand dollars on paper and a paid up stoc^ amounting to perhaps $25 The companies to be blacklisted, however, have not paid the State insurance fee of $100 per annum. Suit cannot be brought against a party selling a policy if this license is not paid. Many persons throughout the State are constantly victimized by fakirs and lose the money paid as premiums.

A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver, of Philadelphia, as follows: 'T was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man.
