San Francisco Cal. Dec. 24-'95
1 have been engaged in the active
practice of medicine for more than
twenty years and in time I have seen
a great many Hernia Cures or so-called
cures; but I am free to confess I have
never witnessed such results or any-
thing approximating the results from
the Uuell treatment. In the past two
weeks I have examined some twelve or
fifteen cases of hernia both before and
after the administration of the Buell
Treatment after which candor and
honesty compel me to state that I am
fully convinced that any case of re-
ducible hernia can be fully and effect-
ually cured in from one to three treat-
ments when the treatment is scientifi-
cally administered.
Respectfully
It W. ROGERS. M. D.

Washington February 1. Immed
iately after the reading of Friday's
journal Mr. Sherman of Ohio chair.
man of the committee on foreign rela
tions said he considered it desirable
that the senate should have a brief ex
ecutive session. The galleries were
cleared and the doors closed. It is un
derstood the occasion was the presenta
tionoi the report oi tne committee on
foreign relations on the arbitration
treaty. The doors were re-opened at
12:45 and legislative business proceeded
with. Various petitions in favor of the
ratification of the arbitration treaty
were presented.
Immediately after senate convened at
noon Mr. Sherman moved an executive
session stating mat it would require
but a short time. When the doors
were closed he reported the general
treaty of arbitration as amended Satur
day by committee. The first of these
amendments adds at the end of the first
article clause:
But no question which affects
foreign or dorn-istic policy of either of
high contracting parties or relations of
either with any other state or power.
by treaty or otherwise shall be subject
to arbitration by this treaty except
by special agreement."
The second clause strikes out all re
ference whenever it occurs to the
Sweden and Norway umpire where
the tribunals fail to agree upon such
umpire. After the report was made
Mr. Sherman asked that inasmuch as
as the text of the convention had been
made public the injunction of secrecy
be removed from the text of the amend-
ments but Senator Morgan objected
and the request was denied. No at--mk3eto
arrange time for the
consideration of the treaty nor VS2
anything said about debating it in
open session.
The senate made short work this
morning of the treaty negotiated with
Japan. The treaty puts into .operation
at once the 16th article of the treaty of
commerce and navigation negotiated
between the United States and Japan
at Washington. November 22 1804
which provides that citizens and sub
jects of either of the high contractin g
parties shall enjoy in the territories of
each other the same protection as
native citizens or subjects in regard to

fulfillment ef formalities as -prescribed
by law.

before the senate and referred to the
committee on foreign relations.
At 2 p. m. the Nicaragua canal bill
was taken up as unfinished business.
The business in the house today was
opened by calls of the committees for
routine business and much of this kind
of matter possessing only local interest
was disposed of. When the committee
on interstate ana loreign commerce
was reached Mr. Sherman of New
York called up the "anti-scalpers bill."
A consideration of the bill was re
fused by a divided vote of yeas 34. nays
88.

ing about forty people including an
orchestra arrived from the west last

hotels the principals being at the
Pierson. Manager Grau said last night
that the company had been on the
road since June; they had done a great
business and.concluded to take a week's
rest in El Paso ere taking up the work
again. Mr. Grau smiled at the report
that had come to this city that his
company had been stranded especially
in view of the big business he had done
in Arizona. He said there was no
trouble at all and the company was on
a perfect sound financial basis. The
troupe would drop about $1000 this
week in El Paso in one way or another
and during the ensuing week would
appear every night in the opera house.
Mr. Grau said they had a fine repertoir
and would put up a fine show.

mill is about to be indulged in by a

pals to the contest have been training

river is free of ice to League Island and
go into dock. The desired court will
be promptly ordered.
Chester Penn. February 1. The
cruiser Brooklyn is still lying at Xar-
cus Hook moored to the ice piers and

Ledge on Saturday afternoon is
serious but to what extent the vessel is
injured cannot be ascertained until she
is dry docked. Plenty of water under
ships bottom where she lies she is
about 350 feet from the shore. When
