! TROUBLE OVER A COMMITTEE.
Tanner Says He Has Nothing to Do with q
Chairmanship Difficulty.


Chairmanship Difficulty.
Springfield. Ills. Jan. 17.-An editorial
In the Illinois State journal yesterday
morning criticising Speaker Sherman
for the appointment of Representative
Curtis as chairman of the house COM
mittee on appropriations has been the
subject of considerable speculation and
comment. owing to the friendly rela-
tions which are we'll known to exist be-
tween the State Journal and Governor
Tanner. Many expressed the opinion
that the editorial must have been in
spired by the governor, or at least been
written with his knowledge and ap-
proval. Governor Tanner was asked to
make a state ment regarding the matter
He said:
II had nothing to do with The Jour-
nal editorial regarding the chairman
ship of the committee on appropria-
tions. I do not regard il as an attack
upon neither Mr.. Curtis or Speaker Sher-
man, but merely as friendly criticism
All have had to do with the selection of
the chairman of the appropriations
committee is this: When Mr.. Sherman
first talked to me after his election as
to see NJ. Guffin placed at the head of
the committee. At the same time I
stated that anything I might say would
be a mere suggestion-that 1 did not
wish to control matters and would not
attempt to do so.
"Afterward Mr.. Sherman told me that
he could not give Mr.. Guffin the place,
that he desired to give il to Mr.. Curtis.
/ could make no complaint and have
none to make now. Speaker Sherman
is responsible for the committee. /
have great confidence in his judgment.
He has served in the house as the as
sociate of many of the men now in that
body, and he ought to bebetter equipped
to judge of their qualifications for i'm
portant chairmanships than 1 am 1 am
satisfied with Mr.. Curtis and think he
will make n capable chairman of the
appropriations committee"

CONFAB WITH ALGER.
Eagsn Has a Long Interview With the Sec
retary Anent the Beef Dispute.

Washington, Jan. 17.-In answer to q
direct question Secretary Alger. at the
close of the official day yesterday, said
that the war department had taken no
action in the case of CommissaIy Gen
eral Eagan, but when the inquiry was
pursued he declined to say one word as
to his intentions in the matter. 1t was
apparent during the day that this mat
ter was receiving attention; in fact. the
commissary general himself spent some
distinct lines of action were allied of as
within the line of probabiIit.. The first
was a strong letter Of repri.nand to be
addressed by the president himself to
General Eagan. stating that but for the
immunity he had promised all witnesses
before the commission he would have
court-martialed him. The second line
was an actual court-martial. while the
third was a court of inquiry.
Miles Will Not Prefer Charges.
It was stated that General Miles
would not prefer charges against Cen
eral Eagan for the utterances delivered
by him before the war investigating
commission, but intends to let the war
department deal with the matter in its
own way Touching these charges il is
said that there is really no absolute
necessity that any one shall follow
them, although the judge advocate gen.
eral Of the war department would be
called upon to put them in shape If IL
should be decided to order a court-mar-
tial. II is suggested that the war inves-
tigatfng commission has deprived itself
OF the power to make out real legal
presentment against General Eagan IL
1t was so disposed. by returning the OBJ
tectionaole paper to him.
Eagnn Makes Those Expurgations.
General Eagan yesterday sent his tes-
timony back to the commission with the
Objectionable matter cut out. He also
sent letter in which he says he entire
ly agrees with the commission as to the
elimination demanded. but Il beg to in
vite the attention of the commission TO
the fact that have been accused prac-
tically Of feeding the soldiers with poi
soned beef which made them sick: that
for about three weeks time / have kept
silent for the reason that l was de-
barred from preferrinE charges:
that il is unreasonable to be-
Eeve that such monstrous charges
could have any other effect than to
work upon an honorable man in such q
way as to goad him to n species of des-
peration." The commission gave out the
letter. but not the expurgated testimony.

REPORT ON STATE BANKS.
MichIgan's Commissioner Would Amend

Lansing. Mich, Jan. 17.-George L.
Maltz. state commissioner of banking.
will this week submit a report in which
he will recommend that important
amendments be made to the state bank.
ing act. The commissioner expresses
the belief that loans on unproductive
real estate should not exceed 80 per
cent. of the value of the property, end
also that there should be a penalty for
making excessive loans. Bankers are
warned that the holding by state banks
of Industrial bonds. unless based onreal
estate security. is expressly prohibited
by law. and the retirement OF all such
bonds from the assets OF state banks
is directed.
Particular stress is put on the neces-
sity for a law prohibiting individuals
and private bankers from using the
name bank or any corporate name in
advertising or conducting their busi-
ness. The commissioner maintains that
when an individual invites deposits
from the public his business ceases to
he private and he is no longer privileged
to conduct the business he pleases.

RECORD YEAR FOR EXPORTS
Nearly Twice as Much Goods Sold as Were
Bought in 1898.

Washington. Jan. 17.-During the CAL
endar year 1898 the United States ex-
ported s621, ,26O, ,535 more Of merchandise
of all sorts than it imported, or a gain
in excess of exports over 1897 of s264,-
146,719. These enormous figures repre-
sent the balance in our favor shown by
the official figures issued by the bureau
of statistics for the year 1898. The bu-
reau's statement covers the month of
December and the year 1898. 1t shows
that our exports for 1898 were $1.254.
925, ,169 and our imports $633, ,664. .634. OF
which sc67, ,797 ,915 came In free of duty.
The statement makes comparisons
with our trade for the five years imrne-
diately preceding the past. the largest
exports for any of these years being
s1.099. 709045 in 1897 and the smallest
1924, $3.50, 136 in 1895. The only other billion
export year was in 1886 when we ex-
ported 81. .0o5, ,S37. .241. The imports for
1898 were the smallest in any Of the six
years compared.

THE CAUSE REVEALED.
The Real Source of Rheumatism Is FL
naIIy Found by Scientific Discovery.


naIly Found by Scientific Discovery.
For years the medical profession
and people generally have been In
auiring what is the cause of rheu-
matism?'' Millions have suffered
from its strange attacks, have en-
dured in silence and still wandered
what could have caused 1t. Like all
great things in this world, the cause
is very simple when clearly under
stood. al
Uric acid in the blood IS the one
great cause of all this trouble, all this
pain, all this annoyanceswhich so
often wrecks the life.
But how does this uric acid get into
the blood? That is the great ques-
tion.
Uric acid gets into the blood, pois-
ons the blood. and often ruins the life.
because it is not expelled from the
system.
But how can it be thrown out of
the system?
In one way and one way only
through the kidneys. Is this not
simple, is it not reasonable-it Is
true!
1t is because the kidneys are not
doing their duty that the uric acid re-
mains in the body, gets into the blood. causes
those terrible pains in the joints and muscles
and frequently brings on more serious trou-
bleS.
There has never been but one way by which
the kidneys could be kept in perfect condition
and good working order. and that Is by the
use of that great modern ndiscovery-Warner's
Safe Cure. This has been proven conc usively
hxyth thsau mill of h<D T..
the millions who have been helped and by
those who are in perfect health today
You know this, reader If you win only stop
and think. Recall how many tines you have
read the grateful words of men and women
who have been in the depths of bitterness and
who have been restored by using Warner S
Safe Cure. There are an untold number OF
people today who would be in an exhausted
condition from rheumatism IL 1t were not for a
constant use of this great discovery.
