CALL BUREAU, 1408 G STREET, N. \ WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—With the removal of all \Republican opposition to the Cuban reciprpcity treaty to-day, the danger of fatal obstruction on the part of I'emocrats in the Senate increased and there is-now fear among the friends of he measure and belief among its, oppo- ents that enough Democrats will be found to defeat it.

Any cough accompanied by expectora- tion which lasts over three or four days | requires attention and treatment; this does not mean a visit to the hospital, nor 10 your physician nor wholesale drugging with patent medicines; but it means that some simple, harmless, effective antiseptic remedy like Stuart's should be used 1o ward off any possible termination in Pneumonia, Chronic Ca- tarrh, Bronchitis or Consumption. All of these formidable diseases start from a common cold, neglected or allowed | to run cise s course, and it is only the exer- common, every day cure a cold as quickly as possible, not so much for what it is at the moment, but what it may become if neglected. Perhaps no remedy is so safe, reliabie and convenient to stop a cold or obstinate cough as Stuart’'s Catarrh Tablets. The extract of blood root contained in them combined with the red gum of the Eucalyptus tree seems to put the mucous membrane of the nose. mouth and throat in a condition to throw off the germs of cata oronchitis and consumption, and as they are taken internally they seem to | equalize the circulation and place the body in that condition of health which re- =ists and throws off the germs of dis- ease. A person in perfect health rarely catches cold and if he does throws it off in a day or two, but, where the cold hangs on, stopping up the mostrils, irritating the throat, or there is a persistent, annoying | cough, it is evident that the system for some reason is unable to throw off the disease germs which cause the trouble; a little assistance is necessary, and this is best given by the use of some harmless germ destroying antiseptic like Stuart's Catrrh Tablets, which are also palatable and equally so for children and adults. Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cents full sized package, higher in price than roches and cheap cough syrups, but Stu- art’s Catarrh Tablets contain antiseptic properties which actvally cure colds, ca- w2rrh and throat and lung troubles, while it is a notorious fact that cough drops +nd cough syrups are largely composed of | opium, cocaine and similar drugs that Lave no curative power. It is also true that many popular liquid medicines and tonles for catarrh depend pon the aleohol they contain, which gives simply a temporary stimulation of no real benefit for any trouble, catarrhal or other- s agreeing to | Catarrh Tablets | caution to | LUWYERS CARRY TERMS T0 COURT { N\ | Princess Louise Will Re- ceive an Annual | Income. | She Must Give Up M.

GENEVA, Jan. 14.—The curtain fell to- day upon the second act of the drama in | which Princess Louise of Saxeny and M. | Giron are concerned. Dr. Korner and Herr Zehme, the ‘lawyers who will repre- | sent the two sides at the special court, | made adieu to the Princess this morning. | Then Detective Schwartz, specially invited | by her, came to. the Princess’ room and ! made his final bow.

Giron being promptly refusea, | they were withdrawn and the following arrangements after much discussion were agreed upon: : | The Princess will receive an annual in- come of 30,000 marks ($700). She ciaims to _be entitled to ‘mere out of her dowry, {but 1t was decided not to press the mat- ter. She was offered a Tump sum or an in- ! come and_decided to take the latter. Di- vorce will be pronoupced to-day fort- night, Jénuary 28, at Hresden. There are conditibns - respecting the | mother seeing her children which run as i follows: Should she marry or live with ! M. Giron, she is prohibited from seeing i them. Otherwise provision will be made for her meeting them at stated times and places. Such are the essential points, There are Iso seyeral reports needing rectification. or instance, the one concerning the dis- ! posal of ‘the child expected next May. I heve the best authority for stating that there has not been the smallest idea of giving it up to the court of Saxony. As Stated in the German papers, M !and the Princess claim it as thei scout any idea of parting with it contrary the lust moment the strongest efforts are being made to induce the Princess to give {up M. Giron and return to Saxony. These | offers, however, have merely annoyed {her.

VIRGINIA, Nev., Jan. 14—The remark- able advance in price of Comstock shares created during the past few days great excitement throughout Nevada and much speculation is going on. Your cor- respondent to-day interviewed J. R. Ryan ated California and Vir- G. McM. Ross of the Ophir and Mexican, A. J. McDoneli of the Sierra Nevada and Union, J. H. Kinkead of the Best & Belcher, W. G. Douglass f the Gould & Curry and J. W. Eckley of the Bank of Cali- fornia. They say nothing in the way of new developments of ore has oc- curred of late in the mines. While grati- fied at the renewed interest in Comstock shares, they hope the further work of development will justify a continuance of the same. BILL TO REGULATE DAIRIES OF THE STATE Violation of Any of Its Provisiond Is Made a Misdemeanor Punish- able by Fine. HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 14.—Of particular interest to dairymen as well as to the general public is Assembly bill No. 202, introduced this morning by Steadman of Monterey to | prevent the sale of dairy products pro- Guced from diseased animals or under un- | sanitary conditions; to provide for the in- | spection of dairy cattle, dairies, factories for the production of dairy products; to improve the quality of the dairy products |of the State and to appropriate money | therefor. In order to accomplish the objects of the Bill it is provided that if any foreign sub- stance or adulterant be used the name of { such substance or adulterant must be branded or printed on the package con- ! taining such milk, cream, cheese or other | dairy products. The State Dairy Bureau | is authorized to carry out and enforce the | provisions of this act, and to -employ enfs at a per diem of $4, plus the nece: sary expenses to assist in the work. The secretary of the State Dairy Bureau shall receive a salary of 350 per month in ad- dition to the salary now received by him, and his assistant also shall receive $25 per month additional. The bill makes a viola- tion of any of its provisions a misdemean- or punishable by a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $2%, or by imprisonment ¢ Jail for not less than ten days nor Thore than fifteen days. The sum“of $19,500 is appropriated for the use of the bureau for the fifty-third, fifty- | fcurth and fitty-fifth fiscal years. The | bill was referred to the committee on dai- | ries and dairy products, of which Stead- {mean is the chairman. Senator Ward asked for an_appropria- tion of $8000 to establish and maintain an experimental sericultural station in Diego. Senator Belshaw of Marin introduced a bili directing the State Prison Directors | to employ at least twenty prisoners daily during fair weather in the construction of roads to the State prison at San Quen- tin. Senator Bauer introduced a constitu- tional amendment to exempt all property belonging to the California Academy of Sclences from taxation. WILL TRY TO EQUALIZE STENOGRAPHERS’ SALARIES | Walsh of Alameda Introduces a Bill 1 to Fix the Pay of All Court | Reporters. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 14.—Once more an attempt will be made to equalize the remuneration of official shorthand reporters throughout the State. Several attempts had been made previously, but the bills introduced | with that end in view weré technically defective and failed to become laws. The effort has been to distribute the burden | more equally upon the counties so far as the compensation of the reporters is con- | cerned. Counties such as San Francisco, | with large populations and whose treas- | uries receive large sums of money in the way of official fees, can afford to pay larger salaries {0 the shorthand men than counties in which the receipts are pro- portionately lower. In many counties it lis very difficult for a court reporter to T CALL 5 Continued From Page 1, Column 7. tee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries to investigate the coal situation. The reso- lution authorized sub-committees of the mmittee to/ take testimony. It was adopted. Dalzell of Pennsylvania from the Com- mittee on Rules then presented the spe- clal rule for the consideration of the coal rebate bill. It provided for the immediate consideration of the bill, with provision for one hour’s debate, at the end of which time the previous question should be con- sidered as ordered without intervening motion. Twenty minutes on a side were allowed upon the rule. Dalzell after reviewing the history of the present duty on coal said the pending bill needed no defense. It was designed to relieve the existing distress. Neverthe- less, he said, he did not believe it would accomplish its purpose. He did not be- lieye it would increase the importation of a single pound of coal. “I don't believe,” he said, “that any- thing can stop the greed and avarice of the cormorants who are §aking advantage of the already oppressed people, but it will satisfy a public sentiment and show the disposition of Congress to do every- thing in its power to relieve the situa- ONE DISSENTING VOICE. Mondell of Wyoming said the bill would injuriously affect the coal industry of his State and of the Northwest generally by permitting competition, and asked if_the committee would not consider the ques- tion of reducing thé perfod of its opera- tion to six months. Dalzell sald the proposition had been idered, but because of the impossibil- ity of forecasting the future of the coal trade it had not been adopted. Richardson of Tennessee called atten- tion to the fact that the rule prevented all possibility of amendment and he pro- tested against such a course in such a crisis. Proceeding, Richardson said when the stress of emergency came there was, perforce, a recourse to Democratic doc- trine Williams of wissippi, who followed Richardson, confended that the removai of the duties must result in reducing the price of coal. In concluding the debate on the rule, Dalzell declared that the hypocrisy of the other side was apparent from the remarks The opposition, he sail 5 playing politics. The Demo- cratle “perfidy and dishonor” bill had con tained a duty on coal. = ing vote upon the adoption of the ulted: Ayes, noes, 1i0—a - party vote, with thg exception of Perkins (R) of New York and Gaines (R.) of West Virginia, who voted with the Dem- ocra adopted, 144 to 113, Perkins nes voting with the Democrats. PAYNE IS SKEPTICAL. Richardson said that neither he nor any and of his colleagues was opposed to the bill. Payne of New York, in support of the measure, sketched briefly the emergency which made its passage advisable. He did not believe its enactment would re- sult in the importation of much coal or in much reduction in its pr Maddox of Georgia denounced the whole proceeding as a humbug. Cochran of Missouri declared that there was “late-day repentance” on the other side. If the President and the Depart- ment of Justice, he said, had done their duty months ago when they were gal- livanting around denouncing trusts the sityation_would be different now. Gold- togle of New York spoke along the same | line. In reply to a question by McCall of Mas- sachusetts, Payne sald that in his opinion the rebate 6n coal would apply to coal in bend. DEFENDS THE OPERATORS. Gaines of West Virginia opposed the bill, declaring that it would give no relief. He defended the prices charged by coal operators. % “I know,” said e, “of no class of busi- ness men who do not charge whatever the market permits fhem to charge.” De Armond of Missouri said the pending bill should hz\'\e passed the first day of the session. @Notwithstanding that the high protectionists on the other side were reluctant to admit it, he believed the bill would be productive of some good. McDermott of New Jersey declared that L e 0 B e earn his living on account of the scarcity of work, and many &ans have been de~ vised to Overcome this obstacle and in- duce first-class men to accept positions as reporters in sparsely populated dis- tricts. The method deemed most feasible at present is to fix a minimum compensation in the way of salary, sufficient to pay the reporters living expenses, and which, to- gether with the fees for transcript and outside work, would pe an inducement for a competent man to accept such em- ployment remote from the centers of pop- ulation. After much correspondence on the subject with stenographers in all parts of the State, Assemblyman Walsh of Alameda prepared a bill which he in- troduced to-day as Assembly bill 213. Following is the schedule of the salaries contemplated by the bill: The fees now allowed by law in counties of the first, fourth, eighth, twelfth, fif- teenth, sixteenth, ninqteenth, twenty-first, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-ninth, thrity-second, thirty-third, thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, fortieth, = forty-second, forty-third, forty-fifth, forty-seventh, forty-ninth, fifty-second and fifty-third ciasses are not attempted to be changed by the bill. A salary of $1000 per annum is allowed in counties of the tenth, fifth and. fifty- fourth classes; salaries of $150 per month are fixed for counties of the seventh, twenty-sixth and twenty-eighth cla&ses; salaries of $125 for counties of the ninth, seventeenth, eighteenth, twenty-seventh, thirty-fourth and thirty-eighth classes: salaries of $100 per month in counties of the sixth, twentleth, twenty-fourth, thir- tieth, thirty-first, thirty-fifth, thirty-ninth, forty-first and forty-fourth classes; $75 per month in ecounties of third and twenty- second classes; $55 in counties of thir- teenth class; $60 in counties of fourteenth and forty-eighth classes: $166 2-3 in coun- ties of the fifth class, $180 in counties of the eleventh class and $50 in countles of the forty-sixth and fifty-first classes, TR ASSEMBLYMAN AMERIGE MAKES AN EXPLANATION Says He' Is Crying State Division in Order to Frighten Northern Legislators. SANTA ANA, Jan. W4.—In letters to friends in Orange County Assemblyman E. A. Amerige explains his so-called leadership of a party for State division in the ‘Assembly by saying that he fis using the cry of State division merely as a club in swinging Northern legislators into line” to defeat the bill for the State ownership of irrigation waters and their control by a commission. He says that he has urged that if State owner- ship should be forced on the south sit might be used as a slogan cry for State divigion, as the provisions of the irri- gation bill are so distasteful to this end of the State. il e Joker in the Barbers’ Bill. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO. Jan. 14.—The hand of the labor unions is seen in the barbers’ bill in- troduced in the Assembly to-day by Allen of San Francisco. It is numbered 208, and while it appears at first sight to enforce sanitary regulations in the barber shop it contains a cunning littie joker designed for the discomfiture of non-union barbers who only charge 10 cents for a shave. The joker is the provision that not more At grocers t | adding a new eection to the bill provid- A roll call was demanded and the rule | the bill was an admitted pretense and was virtually an attempt to deceive the public into the belief that something was being done. Grosvenor of Ohio closed the debate. He £aid that by his vote he did not expect to invite foreign competition to destroy the American coal mining industry. We could produce our own coal when normal conditions re-established themselves. - The bill then was passed, 253 to 5. While the army bill was under consideration a message from the Senate announced the passage of the coal rebate bill with an amendment. Payne of New York moved to concur in the amendment. Its reading was applauded on the Democratic side jand Richardscn remarked that the priv- ilege of making the motion should have been accorded his side of the House. The cmendment was unanimously concurred in, which passed the bill. PASKRER 5 FPF SENATE'S PROMPT ACTION. Coal Bill Is Passed Without a Dis- senting Vote. WASHINGTON, Jan, 14.—The Senate to- day acted promptly on the House bill pro- viding rebates of the duty on coal and passed it unanimously without debate a few minutes after it-was brought over from the House. & ‘When the Senate convened the Vest res- olution regarding the rémoval of the duty on anthracite coal was considered, and Tillman of South Carolina addressed the Scnate. He said that the energy of the vencrable and brilliant Senator from Missouri had put a spur to the lagging horses in the House of Representatives and those in the Senate who had been cold-bloodedly contemplating the condi- tion of affairs for a month. His only wonder, he said, was that in these trying times of death and distr@ss-mobs were not taking steps to show monopolists that In the last resort men would neither starve nor freeze to death, but would throttle the law if necessary and take. it into their own hands and seize supplies. “Effofts have been made,” said Tillman, “proof has been filed, pleadings have been had, petitions to the Attorney Gen- eral have beerf filed warning and begging him to protect the people against the im- pending danger, but he has sat quietly in his office and done nothing. Rich and peor alike are freezing because of the fact that a monopoly does exist—because the lawyers have failed to interpret the | law in the interest of the people.” { The House bill providing rebates of the duty on coal was reported favorably by the Finance Committce, Aldrich remark- ing that the committee's action was urnanimous. Aldrich offered a committee amendment ing that the provisions of paragraph 415 of the Dingley act shall not be construed hereafter to authorize the composition of any duty on anthracite coal. Aldrich | asked for immediate consideration. Vest remarked that he hoped the bill would pass without a single dissenting vote. As amended the bill passed unani- mcusly. e COAL THIEF GOES FREE.

Ta e LR SIGHT OF COAL CAUSES RIOT. Incident of the Free Distribution to the Poor of Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—One bundred and ten wagons loaded with coal purchased by funds subscribed in response to the May or’'s appeal proceeded to various stations established throughout the city to-day for the rellef of destitute families. dred and fifty tons of fuel were thus tributed. A riot occurred this afternoon on the arrival of a wagon load of free coal at the Salvation Army depot at Larrabee and Elm streets. A large crowd was at the depot and as seon as the wagon hove nto sight there was a rush to get coal, resulting in several minor fights. The army officials. were unable to cope with the situation-and the police were sum- moned and quickly restored order. Nn arrests were made. PEot s SR DEALERS FACE PRISON. o CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—Conspiracy indict- ments against members of at least three hard® and soft coal combinations doing business in Illinols and Indlana are ex- pected as the resuit of the labors of the specfal Grand Jury in the fuel famine in- quiry. It is considered possible that these indictments’ will include witnesses who have appeared before the investigating body. Assistant State's Attorney Albert C. Barnes, who is the chief prosecutor in criminal cases, has been called in to aid in designating the men against whom sufficlent evidence has been obtained and his advent is taken to mean that criminal presecutions are a certainty.

COLUMBUS, Ohifo, Jan. 14.—The quiet investigation of the coal situation that Governor Nash has been making yielded results this afternoon, when Attorney General Sheets filed in the Court, at the instigation of the Governor, Qquo warranto suits against six big coal companles to oust them from their char- ters. The companies are these: The New Pittsburg Coal Company, the Sun- day Creek Coal Company, the General Hocking Fuel Company, the Congo Coal Company, the Interstate Coal Company and the Hocking. Coal and Iron pany. No railroad companies are implicated in the eases. It is charged in the peti- tions that the coal companies have en- tered into a conspiracy to limit the out- put of coal and increase and generally control the price. The suits are brought under the State law known as the Gal- vin anti-trust act. TR PN ) FIND LARGE STORE QF COAL. MILWAUKEE, Jan. 14—The charge' that there is enough anthracite coal in local yards to relieve the famine, tem- porarily at Jeast, has been substantiated by an investigating committee @f the Common Council. While thousands of persons in the city have been begging coal at any price and have been turned away dally from the coal offices, and while untold suffering and iliness have been caused in the last few weeks, all for lack of fuel, 10,000 tons more than was needed to end all this misery has been lying idle in storage at the yards of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. This, in brief, was the discovery made by the Aldermen to-day. Whether the coal was held for higher prices is not known, as the agents decline to make a statement.

They are from tribes which wera recently in rebellion, and their arrival has delayed the departure of the imperifll ex- pedition against the pretender. Sul- tan and his court are confident of the suc- cess of this expedition. The report that the Sultan’s War Min- ister, Menebbe, had been killed outside of Fez is unfounded. Menebbe was not in- Jured.

It is sald that the administration and the committee members are in har- | Wony so far as policy is concerned, and | that the only points of difference relate to i matters of detail. i Members of the committee feel confident | since the talk with the President that the bil! which it had prepared several days . ago and which will be reported to the (ull‘ committes on Friday will meet the ap-| proval of the administration and be gen- erally acceptable. The sub-committee will meet ‘at 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon, when such changes will be made in the proposed bill as may have been suggested as a result of the conference. It is under- stood that an effort will be made to se- cure immediate adoption of the bill by the Judiciary Committee on Friday in order that it may be considered by the Heuse early next week. There is reason to believe that the sub- committee will adhere to that provision | of its bill which provides for the promo- tion of publicity through the present In- terstate Commerce Commission rather than to create a new commission for that | purpose. The leaders of the House have | | been quite generally acquainted with the | material features of the sub-committee | bill. One member of the sub-committee said to-day: “The purpose of the bill is to catch the guilty if there are any and no harm can come to the legitimate.
