CONFERENCE ON BILL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--The house yesterday sent the Philippine tariff bill to conference, nonconcurring in ali the senate amendments. The Democrats sought to amend the amendments by reducing the rate of duty and declaring the United States should relinquish all claim to the archipelago, but all propo- sitions were defeated. Mir. Tawney NIinn.) made a personal explanation regarding Governor Toole of Montana, saying that in formerly chasing the governor as an opponent of Governor Van Sant in the railroad merger case he had been under misapprehension.
 The proposed limitation of work to eight hours a day on government work was again before the labor committee of the house, with representatives of several large concerns doing govern ment work appearing in opposition. A. c. Dinkey, general superintendent of the Homestead Steel works, argued that the eight hour limitation would be objectionable to employees and em- ployer and would seriously interfere with government work if not make it impossible to do ii. He contended that the success of some of the large annor plates depended upon longer shifts than eight hours. MT. Dinkey also set forth the satisfactory conditions of la Dor at Homestead under the present system.
 The conferences of the two houses of congress on the bill creating a perma- nent census bureau have reached an agreement The bill as agreed upon embodies most of the amendments made in the senate, though some of them are retained in modified forms. The senate provision concerning the civil service is retained. All the em- ployees, of the office at the time of the signing of the bill except unskilled la borers are to come under the provisions of the civil service law. The provision requiring future appointments to be made under the civil service law was modified by the conference so as to make the requirement. applicable only to permanent appointments. The di- rector's salary is fixed at $6,OO0 per an- mum instead of $5,00O as suggested by the house and $7 300 as named by the senate. The senate provision for an as- sistant director is stricken out and q provision is inserted requiring the chief clerk to act as director in the ab- sence of that official. The chief clerks salary is fixed at $2,5o0. The clause limiting the directors appointment to four years time is eliminated.
 We know of no way in which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to Chamberlains Cough Remedy. We have used it with such good results in our family so long that it has become household necas- sity. By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep it in their homes as a safeguard against croup.-Camden (S. C.)
