LET IT BE REMEMBERED,

first of all, that H0OFLAND'S GERMAN
BITTElsS is not rum beverage.
They are not alcoholic in any sense OF the
term. They are composed wholly Of the
pure juice or vital principle OF roots. This
Is not mere assertion. The extracts from
which they are compounded are prepared
by one of the ablest OF German chemists.
Unlike any other Bitters in the market,
they are wholly free from sprituous ingre-
dients. The objections which hold with so
much force against preparations OF this
class, namely-that desire Tor intoxicating
drinks is stimulated by their use, are not
valid in the case OF the German Bitters. SO
far from encouraging or intoxicating n taste
or desire for inebriating beverages, IL may be
confidently asserted that their tendency is
in Numerically opposite direction. Their
affacfs pn no

this general prevalence Is due TO the charac-

FROM WASHINGTON,

Washington, Feb. 10. The principal
changes by the Senate Committee of the
House bill regulating the rank in the navv,
and the rank of all naval officers. be assimi-
lated instead Of the positive phraze used
throughout the bill being ''shall rank WITH"
that the plumber of chief engineers be in
creased TO forty five and the commanding
and executive officers when on duty to take
the precedence of all others with this excep-
ton. The precedence is to be in accordance
with the rank and length of service, but the
staff officers shall be credited with six years
additional time as equivalent 10 term of the
Naval Academy, and the officers who have
been advanced on lost numbers on the regis
ter shall be considered as having gained or
lost length of service accordingly; that the
chiefs of bureaus may be appointed from
persons having relative rank of captain in
staff corps. The section in relation to the
precedence of commanding and executive
officers provides that commanding officers of
vessels of war and naval stations shall take
precedence of all officers placed under their
command; that executive officers of vessels
OF war and naval stations representing the
commanding officers thereof shall, as far as
practicable, benext to rank to said command
ing officer, and shall, when acting as such
representative, take precedence over all Off
GERS attached to said vessels or naval stations
while in the discharge of their respective
duties as connected with said vessels or naval
stations, and such orders as said executive
officers may give shall be regarded as coming
from said commanding officers.
In the executive session of the Senate this
afternoon, Mr.. Sumner made an argument
against the objection to Senator Williams
constitutional disqualfications, and qouting
precedents, to show that the clause of the
Constitution with regard to the appointment
of Senator or Representative to office Gre
ated during the term for which he was elected,
did not apply to case like that before Them
The Senate at the close of the debate con-
firmed the nomination without division.
During the discussion Mr.. Sumner spoke
of three members OF the British Commits sion,
they being not only shrewd statesmen, but
thoroughly acquainted with questions with
which they will have to deal. He did not, as
had been stated, oppose the appointment of
Commissioners on the part of United States,
but voted for the confirmation of all of the IN.
The President was this evening officially in
formed of the confirmation of the Commits
sioners.
Nomination..
The President to-day nominated as Col
lector of Customs, B. w. Roberts; Belfast,
and Stephen Longlellow, Machias, Me.
Senator Williams was confirmed as Com
missioner, the point being decided after de-
created by law, but that he was appointed
merely to represent the President in an exec
utive capacity.
