REVENUE REDUCTION.
The Bill For That Purpose May Fail to
Get Through.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The status of
the war revenue BILLS causing con-
siderable apprehension among mem
bers of the house, as the two sides are
apparently deadlocked in conference,
with no present indication that either
will yield. There was some talk to-
day of a conference or caucus of Re-
publican members of the ways and
means committee to decide upon a line
of action, and before the bill is allowed
to fail some such course will be
adopted. The friends of the bill are
sanguine that if it gets before the
house again a motion to concur with
the senate will receive united supp TT
the Democratic side and such scat
tering support on the Republican side
that will prevail. The opponents of
the bill also realize that this may oc-
cur, and for that reason there is less
belief that the bill will fail, although
its condition is looked upon as rather
precarious.

HAMILTON GUILTY.
Convicted of MansIaUghter in
the First Degree.
Jury Returns a Verdict This Forenoon
and Recommends the Mercy
of the Court.

Minneapolis, Feb. 90. THE jury in
the Hamilton case, after having been
out since Monday afternoon, this fore
noon returned a verdict, finding the
defendant guilty of manslaughter in
the first degree. 1t accompanied the
verdict with the recommendation of
the mercy of the court.
This case has attracted attention
mainly on account of the efforts of the
twin city papers to make a sensation
out of it. The papers have worked it
for all there was in it and have sue
ceeded in arousing much interest in
the outcome. AS a matter of fact,
the murder was the outcome of a COM
mon bar room row and the affairs
devoid of sensational features of the
first class. The standing of the family
of the deceased has added some inter
est, and the desperate effort to clear
the defendant has added a little more.
The penalty for manslaughter in
the first degree is imprisonment in the
~penetentiary for not less than five
years nor more than twenty.

The Minneapolis board of education
has unanimously adopted a set of rules
providing for a daily inspection of
the public schools, and a large staff of
accredited physicians was appointed
for several districts. The rules pro-
vide, among other things, that if any
child, parent or guardian objects to
the examination, the child shall be
dismissed by the inspector and sent
home, and not readmitted until a
certificate is furnished by a legally
qualified physician of the board of
health. The daily inspection is between
the hours of 9 80 and II a. m. The
object of placing the children under
medical supervision is to establish a
better sanitary condition and to pre-
vent injury to the school system
through epidemics and contagious
diseases.

PLENTY OF. ROOM.
Andrew Carnegie Answers an Inquiry
BY President Wood.

Several days ago President Wood of
the library board wrote to Andrew
Carnegie and asked him how large a
site would be required for the library
building. He received a reply this
noon to the effect that ii must be large
enough to have light and air on every
side. DR.. Wood constructs this to mean
that &c feet front will not be enough,
as he estimates that the building will
be about 60 feet square. He believes
that 80 feet is the smallest frontage
that the lot ought to have.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mCcyus lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets intamed
ing. and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of

sIaNIFIcANr IF TRUE.

A Washington special from a staff
correspondent of the Chicago Journal
states that at banquet given in hat
city by the Loyal Legion last Friday
night, Justice Harlan, of the supreme
court, was called upon for an extem-
poraneous speech. He gave utter
ance to sentiments which, if correctly
reported, are an extremely good indi-
cation of his attitude on the great
constitutional questions in the Phil
ippine and Porto Rico cIsess now
pending. No newspaper reporters
were present, but a member of con-
gress from Massachusetts, who was
present made notes, and has given the
report to the press. Justice Harlan
was one of the late speakers. and his
utterance was marked with unusual
enthusiasm. The report gives the
following as practically accurate quo
tations:
1.-The fathers never intended or de-
sired that congress should exercise
any authority or power over any part
of the earth's surface freed from the
letter and spirit of the constitution
Another utterance quoted is: This
government is founded upon the
rights of man-upon the theory that
man has rights as man-and If we
enter upon the world-power business
with any other theory in mind we
shall enter it for evil and not for
good. -
Another utterance related to the
rights of the colored man. Mr.. Har-
Ian is kentuckian. The heart OF
the men of the north" said he, ''has
grown cold toward the bondsman
whom they have freed from chains. :"
1t is to be hoped that the senti-
ments reported are correct, and rep
resent the views of Judge Harlan.
They are highly creditable and patri-
otic

HOW WE MOULD FARE
UNDER PROPOSED PLAN.

The solons at Springfield are again
in commotion over the gerrymander
question, both congressional and
senatorial. Speaker Sherman's friends
are up in arms. Their congress
sional clothes do not fit them
and they want to lop of
Brown and Schuyler in the Nc
Donough county district, retaining
Adams and adding Mercer on the
north. This would make republi-
can district of 2. 100 for Congressman
Marsh. at this James Mckinney,
chairman of the executive committee
of the republican state central com
mittee, who lives in Mercer county
aud had delegation of Mercerites
there with him, has set up plaintive
cries of discomfort.
The subcommittee held another
protracted meeting last night at the
state house. 1t was secret. as mat
ter of course. and it was devoted en-
tirely to interchange of views as to
the great question under. consider
alton. Nothing was accomplished
beyond an unusual flow of talk. The
only change that has been seriously
considered in the bill comes from
Speaker Sherman's country. 1t in.
| wolves the elimination of Rock Island
and the substitution of Adams and
some other counties.
The congressional reapportionment
of Illinois. as heretofore referred to-
places Rock Island almost in the same
relations that the county had in the
old Eleventh district during the 1G
years prior to 1900. The contem.
plated district, comprising the coun
ties of Rock Island. Mercer, Hender.
| son, Warren, Hancock and Melon.
ough. is the same with the exception oil
the probable omission of SCHUYLER
county, and is supposed to be repub li.
can, being mapped OFT for the special
convenience of Congressman B. f.
Marsh. Whiteside is to be thrown
| into the Graf Peoria district, while
Prince is to have Knox, Henry, Full
ton, Schuyler and Adams. Un-
der this plan the Galesburgian
who has proven such a terror
to the hopes of other republic
can would-bs congressman, will not
have such cinch as he has hereto
fore. as there are some counties in the
district that are so reliably democratic
as to give the democratic nominee
something more than a fighting
chance.
The Rock Island district, too, if the
gerrymander goes through. will afford
reasonable battle ground for the DEM
ocrats,as was the case in the old Elev-
enth, when the party got its share of
the representation.

NOT HEREDITARY

In the main, consumption
isnot hereditary; it is infectious
People are too afraid of heredi-

continually.
Low vital force is hereditary;
which gives consumption its
chance. And infection plants
it.
