Henderson fesep) of Iowa reported
from the Committee on Judiciary its
unanimous substitute for a resolution
introduced by Representative Hubbard
regarding the enforcement Of the anti
trust law. The original resolution as
sGnied that the Attorney General had
failed to carry out the law, and the
substitute calls upon the Attorney-Gen
eral for information as to the steps he
has taken in that direction, and what
further legislation is needed to protect
the people against trade trusts and
conspiracies. The substitute was agreed
to- The House then adjourned until
tomorrow, when the rules will be re-
ported.
There was a breezy debate over the
appointment of special employees rec
ommended by the Committee on Ac-
counts. The report submitted by AL
drich Rep) of Illinois provides for the
appointment of two new employees in
the doorkeeper's division, one of whom
had been discharged after a service of
nearly a score of years.
Johnson CRep) Of Indiana and
Walker CRep) of Massachusetts de-
nounced the discharge of this employe,
which the former said had been made
necessary by reasons of the demands by
the combine" which organized the
House for places for constituents; an
illustration, he said, of the discredita-
BILE proceedings of such affairs.
Walker went further, saying the rec
ommendation of the committee was re-
quested to repair the damage done to
the public service by the combine. He
also asked whether or not the Reading
Clerks, who could not be heard on
either side of the House, were to be re-
tanned throughout the Congress, not by
the will of the Speaker, nor of the
House. but of the gentlemen who farm
out the Offices"
The report of the committee was
adopted-154 to 10.

Germany Likely to Declare the Inde-
pendence of the Transyaa1.
NEW YORK, Jan. IA special to the
Sun from London says: Dispatches
received in London after midnight from
Berlin reiterate in terms which almost
compel belief of Germany's intention
to declare the independence of the
Transvaal republic.
The London morning papers just is
sued credit the announcement, and
they interpret it to mean war. 1t should
be said, in explanation of this inter
probation, that the editors of the prin-
cipal London journals were invited to
meet Mr.. Chamberlain yesterday The
results of the Interpretation received
at those interviews are words that
will send the country wild as soon as
they are read.
There is no longer any attempt to con-
ceal the fact that war is not only
possible but probable. Even the radical
Daily Chronicle" in a leader fully in
dorsing the Government policy, says at
the outset: 'eThe tension is so extreme
at the present moment that every man
on these islands should feel resting
upon him a heavy sense of response
bility. We assume that the defensive
forces of the empire will be ready
It is plainly intimated in the inspired
editorials that England is prepared to
deal both with the German Emperor
and with any dictators. plainly meaning
Mr. Rhodes, who may assert himself
in British South Africa. These allu-
slons strengthen the belief that a rev
olution has been attempted in Cape
Colony under Rhodes leadership.
Sir Edwin Arnold, after consulting
Mr.. Chamberlain, writes a Daily Tele-
graph" leader, beginning: 1T is not
enough in these days to have merely a
just cause. Justice, Englishmen are
painfully discovering, must wear the
panoply of strength. We are therefore
glad to announce that her majesty s
Government, confident of the correct
ness of their action in the matter of
he Transvaal and resolute to main
tain the rights of the Queen, have di-
rected naval and military measures to
be taken which win present anything
like surprise or defiance in South
Africa altogether out of the question. .
The Standard declares in most
strenuous terms that the Government
will maintain the proteetorate of the
Transvaal against the CD rman Emper-
or's assaults. and ventur s the proph-
ecy that the Kaiser viii ba disappointed
in his hopes to gain French and Rus
sian assistance in attacking British
prestige.
The Daily News which has been
lukewarm in regard to the Emperor 5
attitude till now, affirns that the conse-
quences of his action are already de-
plorable, but the very last effect would
be an abatement Of England's just
claims in the Transvaal.

the subject. 1t is understood that the
arsenals and dockyards are being over

FORAKER AND M'KINLEY.
A Fierce Clash Between the Two Ohio
Politicians.

COLUMBUS (O.), Jan. There was
a fierce clash between the Foraker and
Mckinley factions in the Senate to-
day that may cause opposition to For
aker for the United States Senator
ship and Governor Mckinley in his own
State for the Presidential nomina-
tion.
It was over the confirmation of Jo-
seph P. Smiths appointment by Gov
ernor Mckinley for State Librarian.
Senator Shattuc of Cincinnati, friend
of Foraker, charged that Smith as
sailed Foraker's character last sum-
mer when he came out as a candidate
for United States Senator, saying he
would be better sent to the penitenti-
airy. Senator Garfield, son of the late
President, defended Smith. The fight
was close and bitter, and resulted in
the confirmation of the appointment by
a vote of Is toll.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

Thirty years ago when the Salzers

able way, market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within a third OF
century they would be the leaders
in the seed growing and seed-selling
Industry of America. The secret OF
this phenomenal success was quality,
Eberality, push. Nothing in the world
advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the superior merit of Salzer's northern
grown seeds; to their unusual life and
vigor and to their absolute surety of
growth, in conjunction with their
great producing qualities, and this
coupled with the great liberality of the
firm in the way of rare and many extras
