MARS IN THE FORUM.
The Militia Called to Remove Boulangists
From the French Chamber.

PARIS, Jan. 20.-In the champer of depu-
ties today M. Constans, the minister of in
terror, in reply to question from Deputy
Chitze, explained that the government had
annulled the municipal credits in favor OF
strikes in the department of the Rhone, be-
cause the municipal authorities had ex-
ceeded their powers.
M. Joffrin mounted the tribune to speak
upon the subject, but his appearance was
the signal for tremendous uproar, de-
monstration of hostility apparently plan
ned by the Boulanglsts. This gentleman,
it will be remembered, was seated
in the place of General Boulanger
when the election of the general
was annulled. NJ. de Roulde, Boulanger's
lieutenant, was evidently the leader of the
demonstration against Joffrin, and the
president. upon the authority of the cham
Der, publicly censured him and called upon
him to withdraw. He refused and the sit
ting was suspended.
The military was then called upon and
the soldiers forcibly removed de Roulde
from the chamber. NJ. Jotfrin, who had
remained in the tribune, now endeavored
to resume his remarks The Boulangists
and Reactionists renewed their protests.
The Boulangist. Millevoie, violently de-
nounced the admission of Joffrin to the
chamber as violation of the sovereignty
of the people. Millevoie was called to Or
der and commanded to withdraw He
also refused to withdraw, when the sitting
was suspended for half hour.
Upon the resumption NJ. Taguerre,
another Boulangist, refused to permit NJ.
Joffrin to speak. He met the fate of
Millevoie and there was third suspension
of the session. Finally the Boulangists all
left the chamber NJ. Joffrin then pro-
ceeded. He attacked General Boulanger.
The chamber dismissed the subject by a
vote of 292 to 81

BLOCKED BY SNOW.
Business and Traffic in the West all at a
Standstlll.

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 22.-The snow block
ade in the west and northwest is one of
the most complete ON record. Not only
has travel become al impossibility on
many western divisions of the Central Pa
cific and Northern Pacific, but every
through telegraph wire is down on these
routes. Washington and Oregon are shut
off from communication with the entire
world, except by one little zigzag wire that
feebly ticks between San Francisco and
Portland. When this wire goes down
three northwestern states will be further
away from New York than China, so far
as Geographic communication is con-
cerned, as trains are not running and the
snow blockade makes it impossible for a
telegraph force to reach the break.
On the Northern Pacific there is COM
plete snow blockade at Sissons, near
Mount Shasta. The Southern Pacific road
has been badly injured in the Tehachepi
mountains by washouts and beyond Los
Angeles the floods have done much dam
age. The only unobstructed road now is
the Atlantic g. Pacific.

Twenty Less Members.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Jan. 2O-The house
was called to order at 2 o'clock. Hole
brooke, Of Iowa comfy, on behalf of the
Democrats, submitted a proposition with
reference to d compromise on organiza.
ti0n.

cans, refused at this time to consider any
proposition as to permanent organization,
claiming no tie demonstrated as yet. The
deadlock was on temporary organization.
Holebrooke offered the Republicans the

piled that the temporary speakership was

suited: Wilcox, Republican, 40; Lehman,
Democrat, 40. After taking seventeen

Comnorndfnr Engines.

The question of compromising engines-thst
is, making a specified amountof steam do its
work twice, three, four or moro times, and
again, by condensing this same steam and
by producing vacuum, making the atmos-
phere add its force to that of steam, is one
that has for long time received attention
from mechanical engineers, especially in tbs
navy and merchant MARINE The ordinary
high pressure engine as ws use them in this
city gives for every thirty pounds of water

NATURE IN CONvUl SION

Is terrific. Volcanic eruptions, cyclones.
earthquakes are awfully and tremendous
ly picturesque, but scarcely desirable to
emulate in action and effect by the adj
ministration of remedies which produce
convulsion and agony in the abnormal por-
ton of the human frame. Such is the eff
feet of the old fashioned violent purga-
disuse, and of which Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the wholesome. pleasant and far
more effective succedaneum. They weak
ened the intestines-the Bitters invigor-
ates them. They left the bowels inactive,
because incapacitated by ensuing feeble
ness. The Bitters, on the contrary, and
because it enables, not forces, them to act
a vast and fortunate difference-perpetu-
ates their activity and regularity. The
liver is beDeticially stimulated, as the kid
neys also are, by this medicine, which
easily conquers, also, malaria, nervous
ness and rheumatism.

post and fell into the gutter like log.
Thomas Dawson ran to help the horse, but
no sooner did he place his hands on the
animal than he(Dawsen)fell dead. Thomas
Saltz, who saw Dawson fall, fastened to
his assistance and took hold of him to lift
him up, but received terrible shock and
he too dropped to the ground as if dead.
An arc electric light wire had sagged and
lay upon an iren rod extending from the
awning post to the building and the full
force of the electric current was passing
down the iron post into the ground. The
insulation material of the wire bad become
thoroughly saturated by rain. Mr.. Saltz
was only stunned, and he got up, brushed
his clothes and walked away Dawson

sHaINkAee WEIGHT NOT LEGAL.

CHICAGO, III, Jan, @.-In test case to-
day Judge Gresham upheld sections 6, z.
and 3 of the interstate commerce law.
The suit was against the Lake Shore rail-
road by Keenan, 6 Sons, stockyards CON-
mission merchants. The railroad made
an overcharge in freight equal to an excess
OF 2,cOo pounds because the country ship
per and the commission men refused to
comply with the company's rule to weigh
the freight with the stockysrtls company,
a practice which means adding forty
pounds per head. ostensibly to cover
shrinkage in transit. The shippers con
tend that the weight should be the actual
weight before the forty pounds per head
allowed for shrinkage is added. Judge
Gresham decided that the overcharge
could be recovered under the interstate
commerce law.
