Retaliatins on Germany,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The house foreion
affairs committee to-day authorized Eaton 10
submit to the house a favorable report upon
Lefevre's resolution calling for retaiiato1y
action for Germany's restrictions upon Amer
lean products. Eaton takes the ground occu-
pied by Lefevre's resolution, that under our
treaties with Germany that country has been
favored above ali others; that discrimination
against American products was in violation
OF tho spirit of these treaties, and that the
situation warrants the action suggested in
the resolution.

of the rules. This latter motion was made
to-day by Cobb Of Indiana, his object being tG
nave the bi.l referred To the committee on pub

ton would have been to give the committees the
privilege OF reporting back the b,il n &ny time

fact that should no longer be concealed from the

wonderfully patient and accomplishing. and he

pain to finish his military autobiography or
history OF the war, and hopes to complete it this

but not revised, and the second volume is more
than half done. He has not taken time to re-

A NOBLE BOY

Mrs. Helen NJ. Wood, the wife and mother
who, sinking under consumption, was taken
to house on Topeka avenue early this
spring by some kind-hearted ladies who ever
since have ministered to her wants, which
ladies were living in the immediate neighbor-
hood, died night before last after very
long and painful illness. Her little son, a
mere child, kept the rent of the house paid
by almost superhuman effort. Mr.. Kelly
and Artie Smith went among some of the
kind hearted friends and raised funds suf-
fcient to purchase q neat coffin and lot in
the cemetery. The funeral took place yes
terday afternoon. The little boy-the son,
who is but eleven years old, has shown a
manly, almost heroic. spirit, promising his
mother the last thing that he would still
keep his sisters together in home and do
all he could to provide for them.

of large improv ements going on there. Mr.

is to be 40xs0 feet, two stories high. He j:
also about to erect two new stables, each OF

The track has been very much improved
and widened, and everything done, or to be
done, to meet the requirement of the coming
fair, The grounds contain thirty-six acres,
level, and well adapted to park purposes.
1t is conveniently located and if q street car
line is completed there so as to accommodate
the people of the city, grand success may
be anticipated.
