PADDooKs PURE FOOD BILL.
The Farmers Favor 1t as Against the
Conger Measure.

The Farmers Favor 1t as Against the
Conger Measure.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-The Paddock
pure food bill has the advantage over the
Conger lard bill in the matter of petitions
most decidedly just now. Among the poti-
tions presented to the Senate this morning
In favor of the Paddock and against the
Conger bill, is one signed py the president
and vice president, secretary and treasurer
and $50 delegates to the sta % convention of
the Farmers Mutual Benefit Association of
the state OF Illinois. In the preamble to the
memorial 1t Is set out that the farmers
alliance, at their national convention in st.
Louis in 1889, declared: believing In the
doctrine Of equal rights TO all and special
privileges TO none, we demand that
taxation, national or state, shall not be used
to build up one interest or class at the ex-
pense OF the other;" and again, that the
farmers congress at Council Bluffs, Ia, in
1890 reaffirmed that declaration in these
words: believing in the doctrine of equal
rights to all and special rights TO none, we
demand that our national legislation shall
be so framed as not In the future to foster
and build up one industry at the expense of
another" As the Congor bill is designed 30
build up the business Of hog lard makers at
the expense Of cotton seed oil and compound
lard makers, the petitioners oppose it and
favor the Paddock bill, which is directed
against fraud and adulteration of food
products.

French Physicians Consider it Iucom-
plete
PARIS, Jan. 16.-French physicians critl,
else Prof. Kooh's report upon the ingredi-
euts of his famous lymph. They say that
the report is incomplete and docs not indi-
cate tho quantity of dose or the substances
composing the liquid. They add
that that tho remedy is shrouded in
mystery, and hold that the necessity for
caution is unabatsd. French critics also
say that its efficacy has not been shown, and
that no patient treated according 10 the
Koch system in France has been cured
Further and long experiments, they claim,
are needed before a final opinion can be
formed as to the merits OF the lymph.
Meanwhile French physicians urge that the
remedy be neither decried nor overpraised.

SILVER POOL SCANDALS.
The House Investigating Committee
at Work.

at Work.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-In the House
to-day, Mr.. Dingley. from the silver pool
committee, reported resolution giving that
committee leave to sit during the sessions
Of the House, and granting it power to
conduct the investigation outside of WASH
ington il deemed desirable The resolution
was adopted.
The committee held preliminary session
this morning for the purpose of arranging
a plan of procedure. The session to~day
was secret one, but future meetings will
be with open doors. The resolution under
which the committee is acting
and the newspaper publications
which were made the basis of the resoIu-
tion were read over and discussed. The
committee adjourned, after directing sub
poenas to issue for Messrs. Stevens and
Apperson, the two Washington correspond
ents oe the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
which paper made the original charges.
TEsrIFYING COMPULSORY.
The principal question considered by the
committee in its secret session was as to its
power TO compel the attendance and testi-
mony OF witnesses. The conclusion reached
was an affirmative one. The committee
held that as the charge made substantially
imputed bribery to members and constituted
an offense for which members could be ex-
PEELED from the House the constitution con-
ferred power with which to compel testi-
rnony to be given. The question of con-
dncting the investigation with open doors
was decided by the adoption OF a motion
offered by Mr.. Oates that reporters be ad-
mitted TO the future sessions.

REITER CATCHES FITS.
TRACY REFUSES TO GRANT HIM A
TRIAL. BY CoURT-MARTIAL.

The Commanders Friend Dalzell WIN
Try to Have Congress Order an In-
vestigation The Secretary in His
Letter Of Refusal Repeats the Cen-
sure.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Representativ
Dalzsll. who Is not only Commanders
Reiter's representative in congress, but his
warm personal friend, proposes. now that
Secretary Tracy has refused a court
martial, to carry the case TO congress. He
proposes TO offer resolution providing for
an Investigation, with view TO vindicating
Commander Reiter.
TRAcY's REFUSAL.
Secretary Tracy's reply to Commanders
keiter's demand for court-martial is made
public. The secretary saws: "Your letter.
Of Jan. s, asking for a trial by court-martiaI,
has been received. You state that
the departments action ia your
mand. and that this Is a
punishment that can only be legally inflicted
by the sentence Of a naval general court
martial. Your statement shows that you ara
ignorant OF the first principles Of naval
discipline. The assumption that the Secre.
tary OF the Navy cannot pronounce "a
sn GsouSe, o,,cspr puoliq; OF private; Sds upon
AA lpE DTehCu OF
discipline or failure In the performance OF
duty without obtaining the sanction Of the
court, is an unheRrd Of proposition. The
department impartially awards praise on
blame TO officers who deserve one or tha
other, as occasion may arise. and the
practice is as old as the depart
ment itself. Cases have occurred
where the department, without trial,
has pronounced an emphatic roprimand
upon officers in general orders. The pubs
lfcity that is given either to its commenda-
tlon or its reproof is a matter within its own
discretion, in the exercise of which II con-
suits only the public interest.
CAN'T DEMAND A TRIAL.
"You further stated that trial by courts
martial is clearly your right. Your attenA
tion is called to section 1el, orders
regulations and instructions for the
administration Of law and justice in the
navy, as follows: No officer has a right to
demand a court-martial on himself or
others, the granting of trial
resting solely in the discretion Of the
officers authorized TO convene a court. The
question is also raised by implication in
your letter whether the department has
committed an act of injustice in censuring
you without an opportunity TO be heard.
In answer to this suggestion, the secretary
says judgment was passed upon COM
mander Reiter, upon his own showing, and
he then epitomizes and repeats his former
censure
