CONGRESS

Opinions on the Nicaragua Canal Bill Presented. General Delate Closed and Discussion of the Amendments Beim Other -Walters of Interest Presented. Washington, Jan. 9 The debate on the Nicaraguan canal bill in the House developed sentiment in favor of giving consideration to the recent offer of the Panama Company to sell its franchises and property for 840,000,000, this sentiment taking the form of advocating the Morris amendment to empower the president to select the latter route if the canal commission on considering the company's offer recommends it and the required concessions can be obta ned from Colombia. Of sixteen members who spoke yesterday nine favored the Morris amendment. It was agreed that general debate should close today at two o'clock, after which the bill will be open to amendment under the fiveminute rule. The vote probably will be taken today. The speakers yesterday were Messrs. Lovering, of Massachusetts, Shackleford, of Missouri, Parker, of New Jersey, Morris, of Minnesota, Burton, of Ohio, Hill, of Connecticut, Brom well, of Ohio, Gillett, of Massachusetts, and Littlefield, of Maine, in favor of the Morris amendment and Messrs. Burgess, of Te as, Bell, of Colorado, Cooney, of Missouri Cummings, of New York, Gibson, of Tennessee, and Lacey, of Iowa, for the bill in its present form. Mr. Morris, who offered the amendment Tuesday to give the president the alternative author ity to select the Panama route if it were recommended by the com mission after consideration of the Panama Company's new offer, fol lowed Mr. Parker. He explained the purpose of his amendment, which, he said, was not to impede the construction of the canal but to insure the selection of the best canal the best as to location, cost of maintenance and opera tion, durability, and freedom from danger from destruction. Before the isthmian commission made its report he did not believe the Panama route feasible. He thought it had been used solely for the purpose of delay. But since reading the report he was unable to reach a conclusion as to which was the better route. Moreover, he did not believe that any gentleman could read the report and tell which route the committee would have selected had the cost and conditions been equal. In embarking on an enterprise that was to cost 200, 000,000, perhaps more, he considered i; wise that the experts should have an opportunity to consider the new offer of the Panama Company. If the bill were passed in the form in which it was reported, the President could not entertain the offer of the Pauama Company, and under it the president, by treaty,Jmight bind the United States to construct the.Xicaraguan canal, even though he afterward became convinced ihat tins other was the better route. Representative Holliday today introduced a bill providing that pensions be paid on the first of each month, instead of every quarter. He says he has introduced the bill at the request of numerous soldiers, who claim that inasmuch as a great number of them depend on their pensions for a living it is a great inconvenience to be paid only once in three months. "Only,, a little more clerical work will be required, and I see no reason why the system should not be changed," said Mr. Holliday. - The ways and means committee fixed Jan. 15 as the time for beginning hearings on Cuban reciprocity, and it was the prevailing view in the cornxnitteo that the hearings shouid not extend beyond Feb. 1. The committee also ordered a favorable report on the joint resolution authorizing the commissioner of internal revenue to return bank checks, drafts, etc., having imprinted stamps thereon, and the bill for the redemption of such internal stamps as have been become

valueless, but the repeal of certain of the war taxes, Chairman Hopkins, of the House committee on census, presented the report favoring a permanent census bureau. It points out the disadvantages of suddenly disbanding a large office force engaged in technical work and states that the permanent bureau would be reduced to a skeleton organization soon after July 1, 1902.

NICARAGUA BILL PASSED But Two Votes Recorded Against Hepburn Bill in the House. . Washington, D. C, Jan. 10 The opponents of the Nicaragua canal, who have for three days made a stiff campaign for the Panama purchase, were completely routed when the bill was brought to a vote yesterday afternoon. The Hepburn bill passed the house by a vote of 303 to 2, This was not, however, the full strength of the opposition, for, in the face of public sentiment, very few representatives dared cast a negative vote on the canal proposition. The two men who did vote against the bill were Fletcher (republican) of Minnesota and Lassiter ( democrat ) of Virginia. Bishop of Michigan answered "Present." Germany's Treasury Deficit. Berlin, Jan. 10 The minister of finance, Baron von Rheinbaben, in the lower house of the diet, yesterday presented the budget for 190!, in which the or dinary estimates show a deficit of 70,000,000 marks. This, how ever, the minister explained, had baen covered without special dif ficulty, thanks primarily to the imperishable services of the late finance minister, Dr. Miquel, whose wise foresight had collec ted a surplus which, at the end of 1900, amounted to 71,500,000 marks. - Baron von Rheinbaben considered that it speaks well for the internal solidity of the state's finances that, despite the depres sion in trade during the last year, the demands of the exchequer were met without resort to ex traordinary means.

CHAMBERLAIN CALLED HARD

Count Von Bulow Spoke His Mind Freely About Colonial Secretary's Speech and Blood Runs Warm. .London, Jan. 10 What the men of tact in the British cabinet feared would happen as the result of colonial secretary Chamberlain's reference to the German army in his Edinburgh speech has actually come to pass. Chancellor von Bulow has called the colonial secretary and called him hard. Judging- from the German chancellor's words even official assurances from Downing street that Mr. Chamberlain meant, no offense could not reCoun' von Bulow's itching desire to speak his mind. The problem now confronting the Salisbury ministry is how to prevent Secretary Chamberlain from seizing the first opportunity to strike back and thus open the way for an international quarrel fraught with peril to the good relations of England and Germany. Prudent observers say that they view the situation with concern. Both the statesmen directly involved are prone to chauvinism. Each considers the other a gratuitous offender. It is feared that Mr. Chamberlain, now that Chancellor von Bulow has so ungraciously received the British secretary's friendly explanation of his Edinburgh speech, will not only question the propriety and amiability of the chancellor's remarks in the reichstag but may also denounce the German government's failure to make any attempt to arrest the campaign of scurrility lately waged throughout Germany against the honor of the British army. Many even of those British politicians who were at least disposed to smooth away tha colonial secretary's reckless remarks, are now angered .vith the German nation and have no sym pathy with the tone of the reich tag pronouncement. They hold that Chancellor von Bulow has put himself practically in the same place as Chamberlain with respect to the demands of pru dent statesmanship, and cannot expect to win anything but the contemptuous ill feeling of the patriotic people of Great Britain. . The man in the street strongly resents the language of the kai ser's chief statesmen and declare that the British are readv "to take a bite of the Teutonic gran ite" whenever British interests dictate sue h a course. Ooin After a Nuisance. A public meeting will be held at the schoolbcuse in Tippecanoe Saturday, Jan. 18, at 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of instituting a protest against the maintenance of the dam in the Tippecanoe river at Bloomingsburg. Attorneys Talcott and Fish, of South Bend, will be present to give counsel as to the legality of the obstruction and the remedy proper to be pursued. There are other dams in this county that have outlived their usefulness and only serve towaste valuabe land. Since the forests have been cleared, streams straightened and swamps drained there is no water power in this locality that is worth the crrouud it occupies and steam is too cheap for health to be risked by stagnant backwater. Genuine Economy. The farmer whe begins the new rear with the intention - of reducing expenses will find many opportunities for so doing, and will also be surprised at the end of the year at the many avenues for allowing loss. One cause of loss is the neglect of the farm wagons and implements. An account kept of the cost of repairs will show that quite a large sum goes in that direction, much of which could be saved. The use of more oil on tools, and keeping them sharp and in the best condition for use, will save labor, which is an item that must be paid for. Too many unprofitable animals, however, cause more loss than anything else, and the farmer should begin the new year with sufficient courage to thin out the flocks and herds so as to retain only the best and - most profitable.

PARLOR MATCHES

Dangerous to Farmers Something About Fire Insurance. The sixth aunual convention of the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Union of Indiana was held at the statehouse Friday. The election of officers resulted as follows: President Aaron Jones, South Bend. Vice President Joseph A. Saunders Anderson. Secretary II. L. Nowlin, Lawrenceburg. Treasurer II. L. Thomas, Pendleton. The union is composed of farmers' mutual companies that operate in fifty-two counties of the state. Some of the companies have policies in force airounting to half a million dollars, and farmers get their insurance by paying assessments when losses occur on the property of members. Some of the companies run as low as 10 and 15 cents on each $100 loss. President Jones made a short address, discussing numerous questions relating to the insurance on rural property. He said that each year demonstrates the growing necessity for mutual insurance. He said the state should have a law that would give property owners not more than 85 per cent of actual' value of the property at the time of a fire. lie said this would be a safeguard against hishonest policy holders, as it would make them carry a portion of ' the risk. He also said that where insurance is incumbered the insurance, where losses occur,' should be paid to the holder of the incumbrance. President Jones said he know of one mutual company in Indiana that paid last year $20,000 in insurance because of fires that started from the parlor match. He held that the mutual companies should have a clause In their policies that would forbid use of such matches. He also said the mutual companies should adopt a uniform by-law to regulate the use of the modern heating and lighting contrivances in farm houses. r George V. Kell, of Fort Wayne, read a paper on "Adjustment of Losses;" George V. Scearce, of Dan ville, discussed "Live Stock In;urance," and T. C. Phelps, of New Castle, read a paper on "Blanket Policies' Advantages and Disadvant ag:s." BANQUET TO DIPLOMATS President Roosevelt Acts as Host to Foreign Representatives. The stately east room of the white house was used Thursday night as the banquet hall of the diplomats. Tradition has no memory of a similar fes tival in this magnificent apartment, which heretofore has been given over to receptions, promenades and balls. Never before was a white house apart ment so" lavishly beautified with flowers. Smilax and asparagus vines formed a delicate background for red rases, scarlet poinetta and brilliant carnations. The tone of the applied decorations was red, and this blended well with the old gold touches on the roof beams outlining the great ceiling panels and relieving the dark mahogany frames of the mirrors.

WONDERS AT HAND

What the Century Has in Store for ln ventive Genius. The imaginative mind naturally foresees the greatest possibilities of the future in the fields of electricitv, aerial navigation and the harnessing of the great power Drees in nature. It is interesting to note that this popular view has the support of the Hon. Charles II. Duell, who only recently retired from the position of the United States commissioner of patents and who atands as one of the leading authorities in America on the subject of inventions. In discussing the matter Mr. Duell said: "In my opinion all previous advances in the various lines of invention will appear totall insufficient wheruoompared with thoss which the present century will witness. I almost wish that I might live my life over again to see the mw wonders which are at the threshold. It will bo. only a few vears until the residents of all our larger cities will be consulting the the time tables of aerial bee lines to New York, allured by such advantages as 'no smoke, no dust, no heat'; each private residences will be provided with its own plant or cooling room and cooling devices for houses will make bearable any climate under the stars and stripes; the sun and the wind will be completely harnessed, and possibly the waves as well; automobiles will be in universal use and quadrnplex apparatus should bring the cost of telephone service clown to about 10 cens a month." Probably the field which will give forth the mosf wonderful inventions during the next quarter of a century is that of electrical science. "Within the last few months devices have been patented which will enable Americans talk with their cousins across the sea; which permit telephone messages and signals of various kinds to be transmitted through the earth or below or above the surface of che ocean without wires; which cause telephone messages to be recorded automatically and repeated mechanscally hundreds of times; make it possible to transmit colored pictures by wire between distant points and enable the dispatch of sixteen telegraph messages over a single wire. A cheap, compact and durable storstorage battery will make possible electric airships, steamltss locomotives and horseless carriages of a character more perfect than has heretofore been dreamed of. Automobiles, the popu lar vehicle of the dawning century, have within a few months sustained a decline of hundreds of dollars in price owing to the perfection of equipments, but the discovery of the sorely needed storage battery would eventually make them within universal reach as any vehicle may be. The discovery of a practical storage battery will open a new era for the electric railway and hasten the day of electric propulsion for Ions distance express trains for mail and passengers. A Small Boy's Onion Patch. One of the coming men of Mas sachusetts is little Johnnv Calden of Hampden county, who is not yet nine years old. He already has a larger bank account than many farmers, and the best of it is that he has earned every cent of it himself. Last spring Johnny owned a goat, and while he got some fun with him, the goat had a way of eating a good deal and giv ing little in return. Johnny, who had an eye for business, saw that the money invested in the goat was not earning anything, so he sold the goat for $3 and put the money in an old stocking for future use. Johnny decided that onion raising offered more profitable inducements than driving a goat, so he got the use of the vacant lot 60x125 feet from his father, who fertilized, plowed and planted the ground with something less than a pound of onion seed, and then turned it over to the young lad. Nights and mornings, Saturdays and holidays, Johnny worked at this, weeding and cultivating the onions. There came a time when he could not do all the work, so he hunted up the old stocking and from it paid other boys to pull weeds, and hired a man to run a cultivator between the rows. At the end of the season when the crop was harvested the account stood something like this: Expenditure for labor, -$2.90; receipts, one goat, $3; 119 bushels onions at 70 cents, $S3.30; total, $86.30; net profit, $83.40. Next year Johnny intends to buy his own seed aud fertilizer; ne placed $60 in the savings bank and saved, the rest for buying Christmas presents, for the next crop, and in building a hencoop, where he keeps 15 hens, which take up part of his idle time in the winter. "When only five years old Johnny made a little venture in celery culture and cleared $5. .It should be said that Johnny did not once stay from school to attend his crop, ne is in the fourth grade and has a good school re cord.

HAPPY MOTHERS Whose Strength Equals Their Love. Few women if any shrink from the passing pain of maternity. All they ask is to feel the child's heart beating against their own as they hold it in strong arms to the full fount from which it feeds. How rarely the mother's strength keeps pace with her love every woman knows. Often the baby is laid against a breast that cannot nourish it, and folded in arms almost too weak to bear the tiny burden. The woman who is strong and whose abundant vitality enables her to nurse her child and enjoy its care is looked upon as a marvel. She is considered an exception, peculiarly and specially endowed by nature. But the real marvel is not the strong -woman but the weak one. She is the exception. The strong healthy woman is nature's type. She shows what every woman ought to be and what almost every woman may be by the use of proper means. THE OTHER TWO WOMEN. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. The record shows that of the hundreds of thousands of women who have used "Favorite Prescription" ninety-eight per .cent, have been absolutely and altogether cured. The other two women in each hundred for whom no complete cure was possible, have in general acknowledged a great improve ment in their condition ; headaches less frequent and less painful, backache greatly diminished; able to resume again the care oi the household and take pleasure in social life. That is the general story of the two per cent, of women who had found no help in any other medicine but have by the use of tt Favorite Prescription n found relief and comfort. But think of the great army, the nine ty-eight per cent., numbering hundreds of thousands of women who have been cured perfectly and permanently. No more headache, no more backache, no more monthly misery. Pain is a thing of the past. These are the women who are fit for maternity, who will have strength to give the child they bear. "i nave mienaea lor some time to write to you," says Mrs. Eva Burnett, of Russellville, Logan Co., Kentucky, and give a testimonial in regard to what your medicine has done for me. My baby came in July, 1899, and I had congestive chills, and lay at death's door for ten long weeks. I was in a dreadful condition and had six of the best doctors in he city. After everything had been done and I had been given ut to die I asked my husband to get me a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescriotion. He had no faith in it, but he got it, and when I had taken it two weeks I was able to walk to the dinicj room to my

I have recommended it to afflicted ladies wherever I possibly could. I know I would have been dead had it not been for your medicine. WOMEN TESTIFY TO THIS. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity. It dries unhealthy drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. Taken as a preparative for maternity it gives physical vigor and the mental courage which comes from a feeling of strength. It encourages the appetite, tranquilizes the nerves and induces refreshing sleep. It makes the baby's advent practically painless, and increases the flow of the nutritive secretion. I wish to advise the suffering women of this great land, of the good I have received from Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre. scription and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' " writes Mrs. Mary Snappell, of Columbus Grove. Putnam CoOhio. " For four years I had been a sufferer from female troubles, and at times was unable to do even the housework fcr three in the family. I had such pains that I suffered almost death dozens of times, but after taking five bottles of your medicines I can truthfully say that my health was greatly improved. I have a good appetite and am gaining in flesh right along. This spring is the first time in five years that I have done my house clean,ing all by myself and without the least fa tigue whatever. I hope fill KiiffT-Jn tr may find relief as I have done. . "My gain in weight has been just ten pounds, and I am still gaining." Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter-. All correspondence confidentially conducted and womanly confidences guarded by strict professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. The offer of free consultation by letter made by Dr. Pierce is not to be classed with the misleading offers of free medical advice, male by those who have neither medical education nor experience. Anyone may offer "medical advice, w but the medical advice of an unqualified person, either man or woman, is not only worthless but may be dangerous. As chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., with an associate staff of nearly a score of physicians, Dr. Pierce is enabled to offer to those who consult him by letter free, a medical experience and success which has no superior. There is no alcohol in Favorite Prescription" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and every other narcotic This perfect freedom from all injurious ingredients makes "Favorite Prescription" the ideal tonic for nursing mothers and all weak "run down " women. If a dealer tries to sell a substitute in place of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescnpüon it is because less meritorious medianes pay a little more profit to the dealer.
