[srEcIAL ro LIE rnrss.l

Augusta, February 19.-The committee
on taxation this evening gave hearing
upon two bills panding before them TO
ings banks and to tax the deposits OF
the trust companies.
Senator Staples of Knox, who intro
duoed one OF the bills, spoke In support
OF the proposition. He said that the
rural towns were now suffering because
their people were putting their money
Into the savings banks instead OF In
vesting it In local industries. 1t is due
to this lack of business in the rural
towns that the young men and young
women we're forced TO leave the towns
ana seek employment In the oitiss. IL
IL said that ii the banks are subjected to
higher tax, money will be withdraw.
Well, said Senator Staples, would wal-
come that condition. 1t would Ieadsto
the investment OF the money In the
towns and so build them up. Taxes
should be assessed equally. Now a man
with $4,000 or $4,000 In the savings
banks virtually ESCAPES taxation, while
his neighbor with q farm worth perhaps
s4, O0O, is heavily taxed for the support
or the roads, the bridges and the poor of
the town.
Bank Examiner Timberlake, In open
ing his remarks in opposition to the bill,
spoks feelingly Of the absence OF Senator
Hodsdon, the onsirmsn OF the commit
tee. Mr.. Timberlake conveyed to the
committee the cheering intelligence that
MIR. Hodsdon was improving ana that
his family and friends were hopeful of
his ultimate recovery.
Taking up the question OF the taxation
OF the savings banks, Mr. Timberlake
referred to his reoomm endations In his
reports that the tax should be decreased,
rather than augmented. He said that
he felt 1t his duty TO oppose the pending
bill. The Staples bill would mean the

A Sisters Advice.

I tell you, nobody but a mother
knows how a mother feels when she
looks at her child and fears that he
may not be spared to her.
The hours of her life are dark and
heavy when she does that.
But that is what Mrs. Frank T. WASH
burn, of Kennebunk, Maine, did more
than once, when punches had formed
on her little boys neck.
She knew they were scrofulous
punches, and she knew scrofula is pro-
gressive and one of the most destruc-
tive of diseases.
She was alarmed, and told her sister
about her fears for the little fellow, and
her sister comforted her by telling her
that many wonderful cures of scrofula
had been wrought by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and that she should give this
medicine to the boy.
II is difficult to conceive how her
sister could have thrown more sunshine
into her life at this time, and it is
certain that better advice could not
have been given.
For, mark youl this is what Mrs.
Washburn said, on the 18th of 0eto-
Der, 1900:
Hoods Sarsaparilla cured my boy.
The punches gradually softened and
disappeared. He has been real well
ever since and now, at three years of
age, is rugged, healthy child. / am
grateful for what Hoods Sarsaparilla
did for him"
This is a simple statement of one of
the thousands OF radical and permanent
cures of scrofula effected by Hoods
sarsaparilla is the medicine of
all medicines for this disease and all
its manifestations, punches, assesses,
eruptions, infamed eyelids, sore ears,
rickets, wasting and general debility,
as well as for dyspepsia, catarrh, kid
ney complaint and rheumatism.
Hoods Ssrsaparilla is obtainable of
all druggists. Don't accept any sub
stitute for it, nor any preparation rep
resented as being equally good. No
substitute, no other preparation, acts
like il. Insist on having Hoods.

Court Should Be Given
Further Chance.
Not Yet Shown Ii Is Not Acting
In Good Faith.

] Washington, February 1e.-Minisser
Conger has been instructed by cable to
communicate to the foreign ministers
at Pekin the feeling of the U. S. govern
ment that further hostile expeditions
should not be INDUCED in at this time.
This action was taken by the state de-
partment after the cabinet discussion had
developed the attitude Of the admins
trAtion. It is understood that this course
was regarded as best since It left room
for another appeal to ths powers directly
through their foreign offices in case MIR.
Conger's efforts are futile.
The state department officials decline to
make public the text OF the note. How
ever, 1t was said to be in perfect accord
with the policy already developed and
to make manifest ths deep conviction
Of the U. 5. government that thess pro-
posed hostile expeditions are In violation
of the rights Of the Individual parties
to the peace NEGOTIATIONS because tending
to bring about the failure OF these ne
gotiations.
If the threat of military expeditions ia
based upon a desire to force the Chinese
enveSs to speedier action ON the minis-
terial proposals., then 1t must be stated
that our government disspproves, feeling
that 1t has not yet been demonstrated
sufficiently that the Chinese government
is pot acting to the best of It's ability.
Regarding the insistence of ths for
eign ministers on the imposition of the
death penalty upon the whole list Of pre-
scribed Chiness officials IL is recalled
that tine Chiness agreed TO administer the
seyeress possible punishment and 1t Is
conceived here that it may be entirely
impossible for that government to go the
length dsma nded by the ministers. Thsss
considerations are or course known to
the foreign ministers in Pekin but 1t will
be Mr.. Conger's duty to refresh their
reoolleotions az TO the engagements their
governments entered into with the
United States, as we'll as with China,
and he Will point out that our attitude
is In exact accordance with the outline
laid down in the formal notes preceding
the beginning of the negotiations. The
U. 5. government Will continue to
deal with the other powers through their
diplomatic agencies, ignoring the sug-
gestion that the minister at Pekin have
no control over the military forces sta
toned there and carrying out the same
theory, Gen. Chatres will act In thorough
harmony with any suggestions made by
Conger.

and not for years has such contest
waged. There were three sets Of dele
gates voted on In the different wards,
those favoring ex-Goy. Powers, Hon.
Flavius o. Beal and Joseph E Hall.
Messrs. Powers and Beal carried three
wards each, and Mr.. Hall one. This
gave Messrs. Powell and Beal nine dele-
gates eaon TO the convention, and Mir.
Hall three. The delegates after the ward
caucuses, proceeded to the City hall to
attend the convention to nominate the
six delegates at large. AS there was
tie between Messrs. Powers and Beal It
gave the Hall faction the controlling
power in fixing the mAttsr SO that either
OF the other factions could get the dele
gates-at-Iarge. There was a great deal
OF dickeriug, and Mr.. Hairs friends in
order to defeat the Eeal faction finally
conceded sthree delegates to the Powers
side and took three themselves. This
made the division of the "a delegates as
follows: Powers, 12; Beal, .; Hall, 6.
There was great delay in getting the
delegates to the ball and 1t was neces-
ssry to send messengers after them.
When the general caucus opened 1t was

working this evening to reach the bodies
of those who perished In fridays ex-

Four bodies have so far been recovered.
The first body found was that OF duncan

Is expected that many more OF them win

OF the Investigation OF the probable cause
Of the disaster, many theories have been
