Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-04-11

In the house Mr.. Hit (Ill.), chairman
Of the foreign affairs committee, re-
ported back the resolution of inquiry
introduced by Mr.. Cochran (M0) call
ing upon the secretary Of state for in.
formation regarding the alleged re-
movnl by Canadian officials of land
marks along the Alaskan border. The
resolution was adopted without divi-
sion.
He also reported back the Sulzer res
olutiOn calling upon the secretary Of
state for the report of the governor
of Louisiana and all other correspond
ence relating to the establishment of Il
British base of supplies near New Or
leans and the shipment of horses and
mules for the use of the British army
in South Africa. Mr.. Sulzer, the au,
thor of the resolution, requested the
privilege of making statement but
Mr.. Hit declined to yield. The resou-
ton was adopted.
The house then resumed the consd-
Grafton Of the Cuban reciprocity bill.
Mr.. Payne, the majority leader, at
tempted to secure an agreement to
close general debate upon the bill next
Monday, but Mr.. Tawney (Minn.) de.
manded the regular order.
Mr.. GrOsvenor (O.) made an earnest
speech in favor Of the bill. In opening
his remarks he addressed himself to
his Republican colleagues who were op-
POSING the bill and warned them that
nothing which lie would say could be
used in the coming campaign to ad-
vance Democratic success by striking
at the merits of Republican measures.
The president and his cabinet, he
said, favored legislation on the line of
the pending measure. Nevertheless.
he said, he did not propose to assail
those who had organized themselves
into a hostile force against the admin
istration if they felt that their con-
sciences or local self interests impelled
them to that course. But he insisted
that the pending bill constituted no
deviation or detection from the path
way Of protection.

INVESTIGATING COLLISION. Coroner's Jury at Trinidad, Col, Ex
 amnes Several Witnesses.

Trinidad, Col, December 27.-The coro- ners jury Investigating the cases of the freight collision near here Wednesday evening was called today and examined ten witnesses, including Conductor Bron- son of the extra and Conductor Hartman of the regular train No. 2S
 The evidence was to the effect that Conductor Bronson checked up the regis ter. but a sensation was created when the register book used in the yard office here and the one Conductor Bronson checked from Wednesday night was pro- duced and the sheet bearing the date of December 24 for the north division, the one that the jury wanted, was found to be missing It had evidently been torn out. Most strenuous efforts were made by the district attorney to locate it, but the office employees pleaded ignorance. It had vital bearing on the case All tes- timony was completed and the jury, after about three hours deliberations, adjourn ed until Monday. So far eight bodies have been recovered from the wreck and although the wreckage has not been en- tirely cleared away, 1t is not believed the death list will be increased, notwithstand- ing sensational rumors that have been in circulation.

 A Family Medicine.
 L. o. Summersett, editor of '"rhe Mes senger" Red Bank, N. J., writes The Peruna Medicine Company as follows:
 Gentlemen-"I certainly feel grateful to you for putting such a great catarrh remedy on the market. I believe that more than half the people with whom l come in contact have catarrh in some form and I donS see why more of them don't use Peruna and get well.
 Myself and family were all sick a few days ago with stomach trouble and used Peruna with very satisfactory results and at one-thrd the cost it would have been had we called in a physician who could not possibly have prescribed a better remedy than Peruna.
 IL o. sUNMERsETT." "We Will Not Do Without Peruna." MT. James A. Stalls, Otogo, IL, writes: q can say that Peruna has cured my four-year- old boy of tonslitis and that of the worst stage. He had it last win ter, and I took him to three of the best doctors and got no relief When l took him to the fourth his tonsils were so in- famed that blood was running out of them. The doctor said he could reduce them, so I used his medicine for four or five weeks and the boy got but very little better. There was a week or two that we thought he would choke to death in spite of all we could do. @
 "In looking over your almanac I saw Peruna recommended for throat trouble, so l wrote to Dr. Hartman in regard to my boys throat. He recommended Pe- runa, and in less than two months his throat was well. I got one bottle of Pe- runa and it cured him sound and well. We will not do without it and will use it for all throat and lung trouble.
