CHICAGO, March 9-The board of gem
eraI managers OF the roads centering in
Chicago has made up its mind that the
demands of the switchmen for an increase
in wages cannot be granted. Whether
the men will strike Is not yet certain, but
whether they 60 out or not. there is no
doubt that the roads are firmly allied to-
gether and better prepared to meet the
difficulty than at any time in the past.
The reason for declining the demands are
given in a circular, stating that switch
men are paid as high, or higher, in Chicago
and vicinity as in other localities. The
circular further state, that the revenue
from traffic has constantly decreased aud
the cost of service constantly Increased, to
au extent that no advance iii wages can be
granted.

WHAT SCIENCE HAS DONE FOR
DEAFNESS.
Transmitting souud to the Ear BY the Use
OF Simple Device.

There is little doubt but what the treat
meDt OF deafness has been revolutiouizsd
by the invention OF the Son nd Discs The
development and growth OF the Use OF this
device is phenomenal. and is we'll worthy
The attention it has received in medical
circles, where i. has been widely discussed
and the rlost heartily approved. A prom
inent physician has gone so far as 10 essi-
mate that fully three-quarsers Of all the
deafness which has been relieved il ths
Uaited States during the past two years
has been by the aid Of this instrument;
and he considers it an easy triumph over
this most distressing affilction.
While the idea of such an instrument Is
not strictly new, Yet the restoration OF
such large number OF desperate and
abandoned cases by its use has proven it
20 be OF vastly more Importance tnan was
at first supposed. A recent interview with
the inventor or the instrument, Mr.. Fl. 5.
Wales, who lives in Bridgeport, Conn.,,
dscloses how the idea Of such an ingen-
ious instrument first occurred to him. 1t
was learned that it was first suggested
from the fact that most people who suffer
from defective hearing, hear better in
noise, or on a moving train, which is
caused by the increased vibration TO the
ear From this Mr.. Wales said he was
confident that he could invent a device
which could be worn with comfort by the
patient, aud which would focus the
smaller waves of sound on ths drum head,
thus increasing its vibration, aud enable
ing the patient to hear ordinary conversa-
tion and public speaking. After many
experiments the fina. outcome of this
happy thought has been the present de-
vice, which must be an ideal one, as it is
worn in the ear out Of sigh. for months at
time.

THE CHEROKEE COMMISSION.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Cherokee
commission will resume business on the
l5rh of this month at ponca agency. They
were provided for in the Indian bill ana
official life of the commission continued.
They will aim to finish the work of get
ting an agreement with the Poncas, Otoes,
Missouri. Osages aud Kansas Indians.
After they have completed negotiations
with these tribes the com ission will take
up the Chickasaw and Choctaw claim to
the kiowa, Comanche and Apache coun-
try. This will end all the work assigned
them.
Some parties here looking after the in
terest OF Indians in the territory have de-
clded TO urge ex-senator Dawes to accept
place on the five civilized tribes COM
mission. The commission was created by
a clause in the bill opening to settlement
the Cherokee strip.
The work OF the commission is to per-
suade the five civilized tribes to divide
their lands. 1t does not require the same
kind OF work that is demanded of the
Cherokee commission. The new COM
mission is expected TO visit the councils of
the Indian nation and negotiate with them
and urge the plan to individualize lands.

The GERMAN NAVY

BERLIN, March 9-The committee Of the
reichstag appointed to consider the gov
ernment scheme for enlargement of the
German navy, by the addition of a number
of first-class vessels, the building of which
would be distributed through series of
years. and by the building of new docks
and other improvements, has made re-
port advising the striking out of the votes
for six new ships of war and for the more
modern arming of vessels already
built, and for the proposed two
dry docks at kiel. Admiral Holsmaun
supported in the strongest manner the
original estimates for the new vessels,
which he declared were wanted TO replace
other vessels that would soon be unfit for
service. He asserted in emphatic language
that the refusal of money would be a
death blow to the German navy
Chancellor Caprivi also earnestly sup
ported the scheme, and declared that the
existence of the empire would be endan-
gered unless it were enabled to keep its
coasts free from blockades.
