THE MINORITY REPORT.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The minority
report on the Cuban bill signed by four
democratic members of the ways and
.means committee states that the. b.li
should be amended by striking out the
provision that no reduction in sugar du-
ty should be made during the life CT the
treaty. declaring that one congress has
no right 10 bind succeeding congresses
land by inserting an amendment strik-
ing out the differential on refined suE-
ar, because" the report SAYS, "in our
opinion we would thereby deprive the
great sugar trust of this country of
some of It's power to extort from the
consumer. curtail its power to baar
down the price of the raw material,
thereby injuring the sugar planter, and
lessen its ability to dictate to wholesale
Iand retail dealers in sugar, the manneg.

THE house during the Fifty-seventh
congress took this view and passed an
amendment identically worded as now
| proposed by us. The house took that
view after full investigation and com
lparatiVely full discussion of the uues-
/ ton"
The report says if the amendment Is
adopted the minority would gladly voi 2
Tor the bill but even if defeated they
recommend its passage. because" the
report states, 1--WE think that the good

TEXT or THE PROTEST.

New York, Nov 16.-The New York
Post has received the text Of the Co
lombian protest. 1t is addressed to
the United States senate and is signed
by President Marroq2in. The dispa: ch
is as follows:
The president of Colombia has to-
day addressed the American senate in
the following terms:
ITO His Excellency, the President of
the Senate. Washington.
your EHcellency.-The government
and people of Colombia have been
painfully surprised at the notification
given by the minister OF the United
States to the effect that the govern
ment at Washington had FASTENED to
recognize the government consequent
upon a barrack coup in the department
of Panama.
THE bonds of sincere and uninter-
rupted friendship which unite the two
governments and the two peoples: the
solemn obligation undertaken by the
American union in the treaty to guar
antee the sovereignty and property of
Colombia in the isthmus of Panama
the protection which the citizens of
that country enjoy and will continue
To enjoy among US; the traditional
principles of the American govern
ment in opposition to secession move
ments; the good faith which has char
acterized that great people in its in
ternational relations; the manner in
which the revolution was brought
about and the precipitancy of its rec
cgnition make the government and
people of Colombia hope that the SEN
ate of the people Of the United States
will admit their obligations to assist
US in maintaining the integrity of our
territory and in repressing that in
surrection which is rot even the re-
suit of a popular feeling.
In thus demanding justice. Colon
bia appeals to the dignity and honor
of the American senate and people.
"(Signed) MARROQUIN."
1T is to be hoped that the petition
for justice which Colombia makes to
the American people will be favorably
received by sound public opinion
among the sons of that country.

AN OLD TIM ER
Has Had Experiences.

\ woman who has used Postum Food
Coffee since it came upon the market,
eight years ago. knows from expert
ence the necessity of using Postum in
place of coffee if one values health
and a steady brain.
She says: "At the time Postum was
first put on the market l was suffer
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-
cided to take his advice and try Pos
tum and got a cample and had it care
fully prepared, finding it delicious to
the taste. So l continued its use and
very soon it's beneficial effects con-
vinced me of its value for 1 got well
Of my nervousness and dyspepsia.
My husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had effected
his nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change, for the
Postum is so delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
We soon learned that Postum does
not eXhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate. but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach. To make a long story short our
entire family have now used Postum
for eight years with completely salts
flying results as shown in our fine con-
dition of health and we have noticed
a rather unexpected improvement in
brain and nerve power" Name given
by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power all
ways follows the use of Postum in place
of coffee. sometimes in a very marked
manner.
