Caucus Has Been Post
poned Indefinitely.
Congressman Littlefield Will
Speak on Subsidy Bill.
ESPECIAL TO THE rREss.l

Washington, December 1.-the apnor-
tionment contest looks decidedly more
favorable for Maine, The Maine men
nave lato-ed in earnest, and the result of
the consultation at Governor Burleigh's
rooms last night has had considerable
moral effect, The House leaoers have
indefinitely postponed caucus action, and
it would not be surprising ifsthey should
finally aoquiesce in an increase OF thirty
members so as to save ths present repre-
sentation ito Maine. Kansas, Nebraska
and Virginia Congressman Littleneld
made many speeches for the Republican
congressional campaign COMMITTEES and
they were very grateful to him when the
campaign closed. He has now gone TO

them and told them that the time has
come for them to turn about and help
him in this matter. This has had an
effect. Congressman Allen has also COM
pleted a very thorough canvas OF the
older and more influential members with
whom he has had long acquaintance and
much influence. They all seem very
friendly to Maine. Governor Burleigh
seems to have a strong grip on the stu
alton in the census committee, SO on ths
whole, the matter looks favorable to-
night.
Governor Powers, who came here to
the centennial exercises, Is also plough

Washington, December 14.-Repressn-
tative Brosius OF Pennsylvania today in
troduced resolution for constitutional
amendment designed to permanently Tx
the membership of the. House OF Repre.
sentatives at 357, the present number.
This proposed amendment reoites that
the mem bership shall remain at 1857, that
when a new state is admitted 1t shall
have one member, which snail be in ad-
dition to the 357, until the next re-appor-
tionment, when 1t shall return to that
number; and that the electors of each
stats shall have the qualification of cleo
tors for the most numerous branch of the
state Legislature. MIR. Brosius Gays the
present representation is bulky enough,
and that future changes should be con-
fined to readjusting the ratio of state
representations without increasing the
total.

Startling Discoveries Made by Ftsh-
CommiAsion Steamer
AIbatross,

The fish commission steamer Alba
tross, which returned the other day
after IA months cruise in the Pacific,
made some important discoveries dur
ing the voyage. It was found that all
the charts of the South Pacific are in
accurate, and that most Of the islands,
except FIJI and Tahiti, are placed
from two to twelve miles away from
their actual position. The Albatross
also discovered that the temperature
Of the bottom of the sea at all depths
from 500 fathoms to the greatest
depths obtainable is the same-35 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Between the sur
face and 2, 500 fathoms down they found
edible shrimp, varying in size from
half an inch to foot in length. The
AIbatross broke the record for deep
sea dredging, dragging the bottom at
1900 fathoms. The greatest depth
ever dragged before was 5000 faith
oms, by the British ship Challenger,
in 1876. In the Behring sea the Alba
tross found at place where the charts
show 1000 fathoms that the depth il
only 200 fathoms.

DISPUTE OVER UNIFORMS.
Controversy Between Gen. Miles and
the Quartermasters of the
Army.

There is a controversy going on at
the war department over the adoption
of uniforms for the enlisted men. Some
time ago Gen. Miles, commanding the
army, submitted recommendations af-
fecting the apparel of the soldiers.
Among other things he suggested the
campaign hat, with broad brim, one
side of which was turned up and
fastened with a cockade. The effect
was somewhat striking, and the design
was adopted from British design.
The army quartermasters resented the
interference with their work by Gen.
Miles. They have shelved the sugges-
tions from Gen. Miles, and there is Q
good deal of i'll feeling on the subject.

Chronic Coug h S
and Colds Are
Catarrhal
Diseases.
Catarrh is the Contin-
ua1 Scourge of
Christendorn.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in every ham
let. It flies with vampire wings from coun-
try to country, and casts black shadow
Of despair over all lands. Its stealthy ap-
proach and its lingering stay makes it a dread
to the physician and pest to the patient.
1t changes the merry laugh of childhood
to the wheezy breathing of Group, and the
song of the blushing maiden to the hollow
cough of consumption. In its whitening
grasp the rounded form of the fond wife
and mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush Of manhood turns to
the sallow, haggard visage of the invalid.
Cough takes the place of conversation,

the fondest lovers, and thickened men,
branes bedim sight, impair hearing and de-
stroy taste.
Like the plague-stricken Egyptians a cry

Catarrh in some form, catarrh In some
stage turks as an enemy in the slightest
cough or cold and finishes its fiendish work
in heart disease and consumption.
No tissue, function, or organ of the body
escapes its ravages; muscles wither, nerves
shatter, and secretions dry up under its
blighting presence. So stubborn and diff
cult is this disease that to invent a remedy
to cure chronic catarrh has been the ambi-
ton of the greatest minds in all ages.
Is it therefore any wonder that the vast
multitude of people who have been cured
of chronic catarrh by Peruna are so lavish
in their praise of this remedy? That tho
discovery of Peruna has made the cure Of
catarrh practical certainty is not only the
testimony of the people, but many medical

HELPED THE CHEF.
How a Loyal Engineer Did His Broth
er Great Service.


Meadville, Pa, Nov. &c. 1eo0.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Loyalty of the Members of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers is proverbial. A circumstance
occurred in this city some days ago,
which emphasizes this feeling.
Frank J. Zeller is Chief Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
No. 143. He is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men. and
one of the best known Engineers run
ming out of Meadville. When the an
nouncement was made a short time
ago that Frank was pretty sick, it
caused a great deal of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had to clay off"
on account of his back. A brother of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, who had been ill with similar
symptoms, some time before, and who
had been pulled through, called to see
Mr.. Zeller, and in brotherly way,
took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, the Remedy which had cured
him. He advised Mr.. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used, he was entirely
well, and able to work.
In an interview Mr.. Ze1ler states:
81 had suffered for four years with
this affection, being often kept awake
at night with pains, and at times un-
able to work. I tried several of the
advertised remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally,
a member of our Order, who had been
cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought me q box. and
asked me to try them. I had. little
faith in them, but as drowning man
grasps at q straw to help him, so I
took the Pills. used seven boxes.
and am to-day as well and strong .
man as there is in Pennsylvania"
Naturally, Mr.. Zeller feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
has delighted his many friends, and
none more than the good Brother,
who feels that he was instrumental
in saving the life of the Chief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to
cure Kidney Trouble.
Sold for so cents a box, all dealers.
