The Yost
WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago, Mrs. Yost built a type
writer, the Remington No. and
Caligraph which were good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the NEW
YosT, which rises superior to the
difficulties of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull it along, weakens manifolding
and costs 50 or $40 a year. Our
ink pad outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 81 year. And as
to permanent alignment the YosT
is the only machine which accom-
plishes this much desired feat.

BAKERS on 4 STRIKE.
The Bread Supply Exhausted and the Sit
uation Growing Grave.

MARSEILLES, Feb. In consequence
of a strike among the 1ourneymen bakers
of this city. the military bakeries are
supplying the public with bread. A vio-
lent mob of strikers and their SYM
pathizers threatened to attack the mill
tary depots at which the bread is baked.
while another mob attempted to plunder
the bread carts. Troops were called out
and dispersed the crowd OF rioters.
The situation arising from the strike
Is grave. Bread is very scarce, and the
municipal authorities to-day ordered .ev-
eral private bakeries to be placed at their
disposal, so that the supply might be In
creased. The strikers objected TO this.
and barred the doors Of the shops 10 pre-
vent the authorities from entering. The
police were summoned and soon burst In
the doors and took possession OF the ba-
keries, but as yet the authorities have not
been able to start the work OF making
bread, owing to the difficulty experienced
in obtaining practical bakers.
The military bakeries at Toulon and
Mines have undertaken 70 supply Mar
seilles with 1900 kilos Of bread before
evening. This quantity. however. Will not
supply the demand. Many families arr
already without bread the chief difficulty
among them being that the laboring
classes have been accustomed to having
two weeks credit given to them. The
police are guarding the bakeries that are
working.

WHISKY TRUST INPESTIGATION.
Mr. Breckinridge Introduces Resolution.
Giving it Tariff Twist.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The special
committee OF the judiciary Committee
appointed to investigate the Whisky
Trust will hold a session Friday at which
1t will lay out plan Of operation. 1t is
probable that the field covered by the
investigation will be a very broad one.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Arkansas. by way
of giving a tariff twist to the question.
offered for reference in the House to-
day a preamble and resolution reciting:
Whereas IT is we'll known that there
has existed in this country for many
years a trust known as the Whisky
Trust, with headquarters at Peoria. H.,
whose object is to prevent domestic COM
petition in the making and selling Of dis
titled spirits, and thereby to increase the
profits of its members; that prior to the
passage Of the Mckinley bill the internal
revenue tax upon gallon of what is
known as proof spirits was 90c.. and the
tariff tax upon the same was ST. The
tariff upon imported spirits. being lOc.
more upon proof gallon Of spirits
than the internal or local tax upon the
same, the trust or other domestic dis
tiller had a protection" OF that amount
10c a proof gallon-against foreign
competition; that under the Mckinley
bill the internal tax was left at the former
rate Of 90c. per proof gallon, but the
tariff tax was increased from the former
rate of 81 to the present rate of $3.50 per
proof" gallon; that this increased the
protection to the then and now existing
trust from the former amount of 10c. a
proof" gallon TO the present amount
of $1.60 proof gallon, and increased the
price Of spirits to the trade without in
creasing the revenues Of the Government;
therefore, in order that this gross favorit-
ism may no longer exist and that the ex-
tortion Of money and stimulation Of
adulterations and crime arising there
under may cease,
Resolved. That on and after the pas
sage of this act there shall be levied.
collected and paid when imported from
foreign countries, the same rates Of duty
upon alcoholic spirits distilled from grain
and upon all alcoholic compounds which
were levied upon such imports prior to
the passage Of the present tariff law.

tended that the appropriations should

Holman was foremost of those who made
this contention against the power Of the
committee, of which he is chairman, that
committee came out victorious, and the
item was decided to be a proper one.

out unscathed. The aggregate of the item
is sixteen millions. Without finally acting

me men got drunk and caused n dis
turbance. Next day Rear Admiral

atlantic naval force. addressed n letter
10 captain John +. McGlensy. command
ing the United States steamship Chicago
rehecting on Captain Meeker I'm having
allowed his men TO get drunk and to
act In disorderly manner. Captain
Meeker was placed under suspension by
the Admiral, and the letter was published
on the quarter deck of the Chicago with
all hands at muster. At the instance OF
Admiral Walker a court-martial Of Cap
tain Meeker followed on board the Chi
cago at Laguayra. Captain Meeker claim
ed that he could not be tried legally by
the court after having been reprimanded
by the Admiral and tbe court sustained
him. Admiral Walker overruled the de-
cision and directed the court to proceed
with the trial. The court found Captain
Meeker guilty, and sentenced him 10
one years suspension from duty on half
pay. Captain Meeker appealed.
The Endorsement Of Secretary Tracy is
In part as follows:
while concurring in main with the
conclusions reached by the Judge Advo-
cate General upon the law in this case,
l do not deem il necessary to decide,
and, therefore do not decide that a
public reprimand by cOmmander-in-
chief constitutes a legal bar to a trial
and conviction by a court-martial for acts
which were the occasion OF such repri-
mand
1.-THE accused pleaded in bar Of trial that
he had already been punished for the
same offense-to-wit: BY public repn-
mand promulgated by the commander
in-chief, and the courts sustained the
plea. This being reported to the authori-
ty convening the court. the court was
directed to disregard the plea and TO
proceed with the trial upon the merits.
'"Ths presents distinctly the. question:
Has the authority convening general
court-martia the power to direct the
court to disregard judgment II has al
ready made and to proceed TO hear the
case and render another and different
Judgment"
Secretary Tracy holds that II has not.
and says: 81 think IL the better and safer
practice to hold that the convening au-
thority has no power to direct a court TO
disregard the judgment which it has rem
dered and proceed to render a different
one. II is a dangerous power. and l am
unwilling to establish such a precedent.
The trial, conviction and judgment on
the merits in the case of Captain Edward
T. Meeker, Il. S. NJ c., are therefore
set aside and the penalties RENTED.
Captain Meeker will be released from
suspension and restored to duty"
