Smith attacked the last named amend
ment, holding that to adopt it would
merely shield the Associated Press and
other news agencies, while it would
cinch the special correspondents, who
labored for three dollars month He
denounced such a provision.
Morehouse said the amendment was
intended to exempt the press agencies
only with respect to news gathered out
side the State, and over which the State
could have no Jurisdiction.
Smith held that nothing of the kind
was indicated by the amendment
Morehouse contended that it was, and
the amendment was declared adopted
by a viva voce vote. The bill was or
dered printed

When a man breaks down with that
Eread disease, consumption and recognizes
his condition, he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing
He consults this doctor and that doctor.
He INDUCES in all kinds of absurd athletic
exercises. He tries first one climate and
then another He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse
That is the story of most consumptiyes.
Finally, when the consumptive dies, the
doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces
consumption incurable A thirty years
test of DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has demonstrated that it cures oS
per cent of all cases of consumption, if
taken in the earlier stages of the disease,
before the lungs are too far wasted. In a
consumptive there is a weaker spot than
even the lungs. That spot is the stomach
A consumptive never really begins to die
until his stomach gives out. The Golden
Medical Discovery not only braces up
the stomach, but acts directly on the
lungs, healing them and driving out all
impurities. Honest medicine dealers will
not urge you to take an inferior substitute.
II had a very bad cough, also night-sweats.
and was almost in my grave with consumption y
writes Mrs Clara A. Mcintyre, Box III. Ash
land, Middlesex Co., Mass. "A friend of mine
who had died with consumption came to me in
dream and told me to take DIR. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery, and, thank the Lord, / did
so. BY the time had taken half of the first
bottle felt much better. l kept on until had
taken three bottles That was all needed.
got well and strong again"
Whenever constipation is one of the COM
plicating causes of disease. the most perfect
remedy IS DR.. Picrce's Pleasant Pellets
which are always effective vet absolutely
mild and harmless There never was any
remedy invented which can take their
place. They-never gripe.

third reading.
ALvISO SLOUGH.
A. B. 10, Arnerich-To provide for the
dredging and improvement Of Alviso
Slough. and to appropriate $4,000
therefor.
Shortridge spoke to the bill calling
attention to the fact that the General
Government only recently appropriated
SAT 600 for the work; spoke eloquently
about Santa Clara and adjoining coun-
ties; said he was making an argument
towards making sails competitor with
the Southern Pacific Railroad, and
asked that the bill be passed.
Smith opposed the BILL holding that
"Uncle Sam in his work on Alviso
Slough did not want California "nosing
around" and would not go ''in cahoots''
with anybody. He was opposed to the
State interfering with matters properly
belonging to the Federal Government
Doty said he did not believe that any
appropriation. additional to the funds
now on hand, was necessary for dredg-
ing the slough. He understood

CAMP OF INSTRUCTION.

Brooke's A. B. 255 was last night

REICHSTAG TO TALK
ON SAMOAN AFFAIRS

NEW YORK, April IA special to
the Journal from Berlin says: An in
terpellation in the Reichstag on the
Samoan dispute, which will not be con-
tented with a vague reply, is in i'm
mediate prospects. Though the press
of Germany is almost unanimous in it's
condemnation of the action of Ad-
miral Kautz. the official papers decry
the Chauvinistic agitation of the pro-
nounced enemies of the Fatherland,
and the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeit-
ung and other conservative organs ex-
press the hope that the Interpolation
will not invoke unfriendly utterances
toward the United States as a nation
on account of a quarrel confined en-
tirely to a comparatively small group
of islands.
The leaders of the various parties are
even now comforting with Count Won
Bulow, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
with respect to the coming interpella-
ton.
Count Won Bulow is not at all averse
to having the entire Samoan affair
aired in the Reichstag.

REPORTED DEATH
OF A DEFAULT TER
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, April 11.-About a month
ago a letter bearing Peruvian postage
stamps and addressed to Mrs. Madden,
wife of the absconding Treasurer of Mo
doc County, was received at Alturas.
After some consultation the letter was
forwarded to Stockton, where Mrs. Mad
den lives. From Mrs. Madden the news
went back to Modoc County announcing
the death Of the defaulter in an out-of-
the-way place in Peru. Madden had been
working in the mines and accidentally cut
his knee, dying in a short time of lock-
jaw. The letter was written to acquaint
his family with the fact
While there is no doubt from the post
mark and stamps that the letter was orig
inally mailed from Peru, the people of
Modoc County receive the reported news
with incredulity. The defaulter Madden,
has been heard from at SO many points
which afterward turned out unauthentic
Treasurers manipulation are 10th to be-
lieve he has been located or that he is
dead.
A few months ago some detectives
worked" the Modoc Supervisors for $500
under the plea that they were shadow
ing Madden in New Orleans and needed
the money to effect his capture. The
money was sent forward, the detectives
clapped their man in Jail and sent on his
photograph for Identification 1t bore no
likeness to Madden, but Modoc County
was out $500 just the same.
At various times Madden has been
heard from at Honolulu, at Hongkong,
fields. The letter from Peru, however, ap-
pears to be the most authentic informa-
ton with respect to what has become of
the defaulter that has yet come to light.

RHODES TO COMMAND
THE YACHT DEFENDER
Famous Skipper of the Lasca Will
Have Charge Of the Racing
Cra Pr


NEW YORK, April I1.-After full con-
sideration of many names submitted,
those in charge of the old Defender have
selected as her skipper for trial races
with the new cup yacht and all else that
may be required of her Captain Urias
Rhodes, a lifelong resident of the South
Side of Long Island, and a friend and
associate of those famous sailing
masters, Hank" Haff, Norman Terry
and others. Captain Rhodes is IN
the prime of life, and in the days when
John E. Brooks of the New York Yacht
Club was in yacht-racing circles with his
,@noted schooners he was his skipper and
piloted them to victory. The triumphs of
the centerboard Lasca, built for Brooks
from Cary Smiths designs, are still vivid
ly remembered by the great body of
yachtsmen
When the LaSca went to Europe in May
1894 Captain Rhodes was in command,
and so much confidence was reposed in
his ability and judgment that Brooks and
two friends sailed with the yacht
Captain Rhodes made the exceptional
passage with the Lasca of fifteen and a
half days to Fastnet from Sandy Hook
lightship, and in seventeen and q half
DAYS was at anchor in Gourock Bay,
Scotland without losing a ropeparn. The
inability of Brooks to secure any races
for his notable craft while she was
abroad is matter Of yachting record
Captain Rhodes remained with Brooks
until he sold the Lasca and went to
Europe to permanently reside Since then
the captain has been in command Of we'll
known vessels.
