PACIFIC NAIL.
Increased Facilities Desired by the Mer-
chants Of Lima.

New YORK, Dec. 25-Concerning letter
from the Chamber of Commerce of Lima to
the Peruvian Ministry urging the extension
of the facilities of the Pacific Mail Company,
James b. Houston. Vce-President and
General Manager of the COM any, says:
There is some misrepresentation on the
score of the time required for our
voyage from New York to Colon
Lima merchants ask that the time
be shortened to eight days. AS matter of
fact, our steamers never make the run in
more than seven days and half, while in
the last three months some voyages have
been made in six days. On this point
therefore, we are asked to make the voyage
really longer than the present schedules,
and l fancy there is mistake some
where. If we made the number of voyages
four each month from New York we
would have to have complementary service
on the Pacific side between San Francisco
and Panama. To do this would require the
adding OF two more steamers to the Pacific
route. We would be glad to increase the
number Of voyages If the business were
profitable, or if we could see that it was
capable of development. The subject
will be thoroughly examined. There
is great hope from the steamship
business in the idea of reciprocity with
South America. If it Is carried out it PROM
ises large development of industry, and
leads me to take cheerful view of the fu-
ture. have found in the last year that the
proposition has grown in the favor of North

The remedy consists of hypodermic injec-
tions of solution of chloride of gold and
soda, or solution of codne. These drugs
have long been used for consumption, but
never in this way before. The cure is
blood cure and of course 1t takes some
weeks to have any effect. The remedy is

SOUTH AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.
A Company Formed to Colonize Large Tracts
of Land in Brazil


WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The Bureau of
American Republics has received informa-
tion of the organization of a corporation in
Brazil under the name of the "Companhia
Nova Era Rural do Brazil" with capital of
S25,000.000, a large part of which has been
furnished by bankers and merchants of
Europe. The object Is to establish twenty
agricultural settlements upon the public
lands of Brazil, which are given free of cost
by the Government, TO aid in constructing
lines by railway for placing these settle
ments in communication with each other
and their markets; to carry out engineering
works, mining operations and the manu-
facture OF sugar, bricks, tiles, lime and other
articles for export as well as for local con-
sumption. The company proposes to select
thousands of families in Europe, consisting
of skilled agriculturists and mechanics ana
transport them to Brazil, where houses will
be prepared for their occupancy, and tools
and implements furnished for their use.
These colonists will be divided into villages
and scattered over the estate, as nucleus
for immigrants to be there later. The
Federal and State Governments of Brazil
have offered a guarantee of per cent in
terest on one-third of the capital invested in
this enterprise.
AN expedition was some time ago sent by
the Argentine Government up Parana River
toexpiore what is known as the Gran Chace,
tract OF country in the northern part of
Argentine Republic. as unknown as the in
terror of Africa. The expedition has re-
turned. having travelled some 1000 miles, and
reports that Gran Chace, which was sup
posed to be sort of swamp. is on the con-
trary land of much promise, the climate
being mild and healthy. and the soil rich

Paddock Intends to Push Ills
Pure Food Bill.
He Will Shortly MOVE to Lay Aside The
Federal Elections Measure.
South American Enterprise-A Company
Formed to ColOnize Large Tracts Of
Brazil-Argentine Lands.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. Dec. 25. The Post to-
morrow will say: Senator Paddock of Ne
braska was in earnest when he warned the
Senate few days ago that he would soon
move to lay aside the Elections Bill and take
up the Pure Food Bill, and he will, before
long, again take occasion to renew his warn
ing.s He will first give his party, however,
ample opportunity to either pass the Elec-
tions Bill or conclude to lay it aside. In
this connection it may be interesting to
state that Paddock has been misquoted
from the beginning in regard to his position
on this bill. A dispatch originally sent
from here describes an Interview alleged to
have taken place between the President and
the Senator, in which the former is said to
have upbraided the latter for not support
ing the bill. "The interview thus pictur-
esqueiy related. not only never occurred"
said Paddock, "but the President never
mcntioned either the Elections Bill nor the
Tariff Bill to me-"
Il have never said would not vote for the
Elections Bill, continued the Senator, "al-
though l have been quoted as saying so.
Inc truth is that there Is nothing in the pro-
visions OF the bill that is Objectionable to
me. My position is in regard to the consid-
GRAFTON Of the bill at this time as unwise. l
think it would be better to discuss and pass
a financial measure. The Elections Bill is
purely political matter. in which only
stralght-0ut Republicans in the country are
interested, while financial legislation vitality
concerns all business men, and is sadly
needed. Certainly this is the situation in
Nebraska. have not yet received single
letter from my State either for or against the
Elections Bill, which is sure indication of
the lack of interest in it. Another thing
against the Elections Bill is that it is re-
garded with suspicion that may not be well
founded. but which certainly is operating
to disturb the business relations between
the North and South"
The Post also says there is Mt present an
interesting point of difference between SEN
ators Edmunds and Hoar regarding the fu-
ture programme in the Senate. Edmunds
believes it would be perfectly right and
proper for the presiding officer of the Senate
to refuse to recognize a minority Senator,
and thus bring the Elections Bill 10 vote
Senator Hoar and others do not go this
lar. but claim that the presiding officer has
the power to bring to q close any filibuster-
ing proceedings which have for their object
the defeat of a rule. They assert that
forcible measures in this case would be con-
stitutional, because the Constitution gives
each House the right to determine its rules.
This distinction between cloture for bill
and cloture for rule is a fine one and has
not hitherto been commented upon.

The Resignation Of General Booths Trusted

LONDON, Dec. 25.-The Times announces
that Commissioner Smith of the Salvation
Army has resigned. His resignation, the
Times says, is most important, because he
formed substantial guarantee that an earn
est and business-like effort would be made
to execute the practical part of General
Booths scheme OF social reform. The au-
thorship of in Darkest England" is now
Common knowledge, but charitable
hypothesiH. assigns TO General Booth the
credit - having written at least
two chapters of the book. Booths ex-
PLANTATION is that he supplied a
professional writer with materials for
the work. The Times believes that when
the whole story is revealed it will be found
that substantial parts of the scheme of city
and farm colonies originated with Commits
sloner Smith. Nothing but his sense of
duty" the Times adds. "could have in
duced Commissioner Smith to resign at so
important juncture. There must be some
thing wrong with the scheme or the man
agement cf the funds. Those who promised
donations are now entitled to withhold them
until full and satisfactory account of
Smiths resignation is given. He was the
life and soul of the social reform wing of
the army. 1t is likely his resignation is
destined to be death blow to Booths more
ambitious schemes"

Right Of the United States to Declare What
Goods Are Merchantable.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 25.-Judge Reed
has rendered a decision holding that the
State law forbidding the sale Of oleomarga-
rine in packages. as originally imported
from another State. is unconstitutional The
decision. which is a lengthy one, finds that
the right of State to enact police laws or
prohibit the sale of articles which, without
prohibition. would BE- legitimate subjects of
commercial interchange is subordinate TO
the power of the United States to regulate
Interstate commerce. The right to sell in
original package. if the goods are merchant
able and legitimate subjects of trade and
commerce, is guaranteed by the United
States. and though it can be regulated, it
cannot be prohibited by any State. The
United States has paramount right to
declare what goods are merchantable, and
what regulations Of their sale are reasona-
BILE, and by an act OF Congress the United
States has declared oleomargarine to be a
merchantabe article and has regulated its
sale. As the Pennsylvania statute involded
does not regulate. but prohibits, the sale of
