The Democrats I'D some telling and eff
fectiye work yesterday In the Senate.
They won two OF three victories which are
significant from two or three points of
view. These vct cries have been the
direct result OF exposing TO the country
from day to day the hoIlowness of Re
publican protestations in favor of the
farmers of the country, who have been
shown to be protected against imports
which never come and are taxed VII
lainously on the necessaries OF life.
The most important of the successes Of
the Democrats yesterday was the blow
that was struck at the Jute trust, which
Senator Perkins located at Bombay and
Calcutta, but which Democrats demon
strated to be nearer home. The Demo
Gratis succeeded in striking from the bull
the three paragraphs which imposed duties
on plain fabrics made Of jute, Jute sacks,
bagging for cotton, gunny doth and SINH
lar fabrics for covering cotton. These
paragraphs stricken out, give the farmer

made by Senator Pettus, of Alabama. The

JAPAN'S MINISTER ANGRY
lncensed Over Secretary Sherman's s
Remarks About Hawaii.
His Intimation That Japan Has
Designs on the Islands Roundly
Resented at the Legation.

The Jspanes~ minister is incensed by an
authoritative statement given to the press
by Secretary Sherman, explaining, while
he continued To oppose the annexation Of
foreign territory by the United States. he
had come to favor this Hawaiian treaty
ION account OF the claim of Japan tothese
islands" This is taken as studied af-
front TO Japan, as gratuitons as it is un-
founded, and :is believe that government
will promptly resent the implication.
It is contended at the Japanese legation
that the United States has had ample as
surances from Japan that the japanese
government had no designs against the au-
tonomy OF Hawaii, although the integrity
OF its treaty rights with the island must
be preserved. In fact, Mr. Sherman, it is
declared, had been specifically informed
that Japan recognized the fact that the
United states was nearly 1000 miles
closer to the Hawaiian Islands than the
nearest Jaranese territory, and that its
paramount political interest in the islands
was distinctly recognized.
The attitude of Japan 10 the United
States was so notably amicable that Sec
retary Sherman's unfriendly intiInati0n
was considered most unjust, and unless
retraction was forthcoming Japan would
know how To meet the desire Of American
manufacturers and others for such special
privileges as have already been accorded.
In diplomatic circles Secretary Sherman's
ungUarded ment ioBing of Japan as
power sufficiently to be feared as to
cause him to reverse his whole foreign
policy is declared to be most unfortunate
and calculated to disrupt the ioRE-stand-
ing amicabIe relations between the Yam
wkees of the East and West
It is believed that a retraction VIII be
promptly made in view of the fact that
the full report on the Hawaiian treaty,
which the President sent TO the Senate
Wednesday and which was ostensltly
drawn by Secretary Sherman and signed
by him, made no reference whatever to
Japan.

A large number of the best citizens
in and around Topeka have commenced
a course of medical treatment with the
noted American doctors during the last
thirty days, and all say they have never
received so much relief in so short time
before, although many had been under
treatment by others for years. AS these
specialists have cured many citizens Of
Topeka before, and all now under treat
ment receiving such relief in so short a
time, it's no wonder all feel so we'll sat
ished with the treatment they are now
receiving. These doctors have not been
able to see near all who called for treat
ment Therefore they will enter into
legal contract to cure each case taken
for treatment or forfeit all rights to
compensation if the parties so prefer.
This Is the most daring offer ever male
to the suffering public. This offer Is
extended to all long sufferers until
January 25. No one who calls will be
neglected, and every effort will be
made to see each one during the
time mentioned. This is no charity
offer, but Is intended to be for all who
desire to put it to good use and mean
to be cured. These doctors will not
publish the names of any one unless
their consent Is first given to do so.
Every method known to medical sci
ence is used in its proper place that is
known to remove disease Having in
vestigated every means and being men
of large experience and close investi-
gators they can offer the suffering pub
lie complete and successful treatment
at cost within the reach of all. They
are no fakirs, but men of high standing
