catarrh In the Head

Gains firm hold on the system, It has very
dangerous tendencies, being liable to develop
into bronchitis or consumption As catarrh
is constitutional disease, local applications
can do but little good. What is required Is q
constitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. which, by thoroughly purifying the blood,
expels the germs Of the disease, soothes and
rebuilds the affected membrane, and gives
health and vlgor to the whole system. II you
suffer with catarrh, try Hoods sarsaparilla.

Notice Issued by the Interstate
Commerce Osumissi0n.
WASHINGTON, February 18.-The
auditor OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission has issued a circular to
the railroads located wholly in one
State or Territory regarding the filing
of freight and passenger traffic rates
with connections to or from points
outside of such State Or Territory on
through tickets or bills of lading. They
should file the tariffs covering such
traffic with the Commission. Ii such
through rates are made by the addi-
ton of local rates to the rates of the
connecting roads, such local tariffs
should be filed with the Commission,
together with statement that through
interstate rates are made by adding
such local rates to the rates of the
carrier (naming iD with which the
connections are made. If the joint
rates are made on any basis other
than by the addition of local rates to
the through rates of the connecting
carriers, the tariffs showing such
rates should be fled with the Com.
mission, covering all interstate bust
ness transacted Hereunder.

the committee in opposition to the
petition. He admitted the population
Of Utah to be 1870, 200, and sofficient,
so far as numbers 60, to entitle the
Territory to Statehood, but declared
that this population was mainly i'm
ported direct from Europe by the
Mormon Church. Utah has been
blessed with superior climate and
soil, she lies on the direct line be-
tween the East and California, and
yet, with such advantages, her tax
able wealth only aggregated $35 ,000,-
900, $5, ,O00, 900 of which was railroad
property not owned in Utah, and
SIC, ,OOO, 1000 of which belonged - the
$4,000 Gentle inhabitants. Her
taxable wealth averaged only $157
per capita, while the neighboring
Territories averaged from 1900 to 500.
The course of the Mormons in the
future could be best judged by Their
past. Crime was rife in Utah, and
criminals had the sympathy of the
entire Mormon people. II any reform
was promised, any abstination from
the practices pronounced by law to be
criminal, the man who promised it
was ostracised. The new Constitu-
ton was half trick, half lie, and
those who presented it did not come as
free men to free men, but with cring-
ing and cowardice proposed to bind
themselves for the future in way
which was required of no other State.
The Gentiles Of the Territory did not
believe that two years Of statehood
would elapse before the Constitution
would be changed to meet the views
of the Church.
Richards asked leave to reply to
Mr.. Dubois, but Senator Paddock, (not
q member of the committee, but pres
ent as an interested party stated that
the opponents Of the petition could
wait further opportunity to present
their case and the committee ad-
journed for the day.

DIvERSIFIED OPINION.
Canadian Press Comment ON a


Canadian Press Comment ON the
Fisheries II, eaty.
OTTAWA, February 18.-An element
of the fishery question has already
created an angry controversy between
the Government and opposition or
gans. Several official newspapers,
guided by the tone of the American
dispatches, have little praise for Tup-
per. Liberal or opposition newspa-
pers unanimously deplore the alleged
result. Montreal and Halifax papers
accuse Upper and Chamberlain of
wilfully sacrificing Canadian interests
1t has been arranged that an inter-
national move will be made in the
direction of the location of the bound
ary between British Columbia and
Alaska, in the event of a satisfactory
settlement OF the fishery question.
The matter is to be submitted to a
commission on which England will be
represented.
PARLIAMENTARY PROSPECTS.
The Dominion Parliament as
sembles on Thursday next. If the
address in reply to the speech rom
the throne be passed, on the next day,
Friday it is expected that Sir Charles
Tupper will lay the new fisheries
treaty with the United States on the
table of the House. Immediately, it
is stated, the question of boundary
line between British Columbia and
Alaska will be submitted to the In
ternational Arbitration Commission
as soon as the fisheries treaty is rati-
| fed.

MARYsvILLE, February IS. = The
Supervisors of Yuba and Sutter
Counties and President Stone and
others have signed a memorial to
Congress, opposing the passage of the
bill introduced by Biggs, providing
for an investigation in hydraulic
mining. The petitioners believe that
the question has already been thor
oughly investigated by the United
States and the State authorities and
settled by the celebrated Sawyer
decision, and that nothing would be
gained by re-opening it. Moreover,
hydraulic mining being a private in
dustry, prosecuted for private gain in
which the government has no interest
whatever, the appropriation funds for
the purpose proposed in the bill is in
consistent with the Government s

tAsoclated Press Dispatches to the HnnAEDsI
WASHINGTON, February 1s.-Ths
Senate Committee on Foreign .Rela-
tions heard arguments to-day IRON
the Pacific Coast delegation in Con.
gress in favor Of further Chinese re-
strictive legislation.
Senator Stewart explained the pro-
visions of his bill. Large numbers Of
Chinese enter through British and
Mexican ports, and frequently when
the Collector Of the Port refused to
allow the Cinnamon to land, they
would apply for writs of habeas cor
pus, which sprung upon the United
States Courts an immense amount a
business, to the detriment of other
matters. These applications were
generally successful, and the Chinese
gained entrance. He thought that
the courts should be relieved of these
cases, and the Secretary of the Treas
ury, as proposed by the bill, be given
enlarged powers regarding Chinese
certificates.
Representative Morrow (Cal. ) said
that the restriction act was not effect
i've, as when Chinaman is refused
admission at one port he always finds
a loophole by which 10 enter.
Representative FELTON, said that the
proposed legislation is entirely made
quate to accomplish the results de-
sired. 1t is necessary that some leg
islation more definite in its provisions
be enacted. The Chinese .vvern-
ment made no attempt to observe the
present treaty, and he held that there
was no reason for further delay il the
people of this country desired to abro-
gate it.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, said
that he had given the matter much
study and thought the Pacific coast
delegation was pretty we'll agreed ON
the absolute exclusion of the Chinese.
That nation is not likely to protest
against the new legislation, because
they themselves know that they have
violated the present treaty.
Representative Thompson was un-
able to be present but sent the follow
ing letter:
WASHINGTON, February 18.
To the Hon. John III. Sherman.
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations: SIR :-Acknowledging the
receipt OF your note this day ct hand,
l have to express the hope that soma
effective method will be adopted b
secure the exclusion of the Chinese
from our shores and can only suggest
the exercise Of all the legitimate pow
ers Of the Government, legislative and
executive, looking to the adoption a
such measures. Pledging my support,
as representative, to any measures
that may effect this greatly desired
result. Respectfully,

SALT LAKE, FEBRUARY 49, At the

discharge of his duties, although
Harris had not resigned or been re-
moved. In the February fol-
lowing Harris died. No one
was appointed to fill the va
cancy and Pingree continued in office.

STORMY SEAS.
Awk ward Predicament at q
Lighthouse station.

PORTLAND, Ogn., February H.
Several da, s ago the light station at
Tellamock Rock, off the month Of
Columbia, displayed signals Of dis
tress. Both the lighthouse tenders,
the Manzanita and Madonna, being
at San Francisco, the United States
revenue cutter Corwin left As
taria and went to the sta-l
ton. The keepers wanted supplies
to take the place of tnose which had
been ruined on Sunday when the sea
and wind were raging. Several heavy
seas broke clear over the lighthouso
and penetrated to the light putting it
out. Iron, rods three inches in
diameter were bent double and whole
rock vibrated.
