says Mr.. John Hamlet, of Eagle Pass,
Texas. II suffered one week with
bowel trouble and took all kinds OF
medicine without getting any relief,
when my friend, Mr.. G. Johnson, a

LIQUOR BILL EXPLAINED.
Act Not intended As a Prohibition
Measure.

Washington. April 9.-The report IA
voring the passage Of the Hepburn
Dolllver bill, granting the states police
power over original packages OF
liquor shipped within their borders as
interstate commerce, was filed in the
House yesterday by Representative
Clayton of Alabama. The report says:
There has arisen Misrepresentation
as to the meaning and purposes OF
this proposed legislation. 1t has been
said by some Of the prohibition people
and by others to be an attempt to de-
prive the individual citizen OF the
right to have beer. wine and other
liquors shipped to him from another
state for his own use and enjoyment.
Neither of these assertions Is true, as
we think has been demonstrated.
This bill is not Intended to pro
hibit the sale and use OF beer. wine, or
other intoxicating liquors, which have
been uniformly held by the United
States to be legitimate articles of
commerce, nor is the measure de-
signed to abridge the right of a citi-
zen Of one state to import from anoth-
er state such beverages as he may de-
sire for his own use. as before said.
The purpose Of this proposed law and
its sole purpose. is to allow each state
to carry out its own domestic or inter
nal policy in regard to intoxicating
beverages within the boundaries of
the state. The sole effect will be to
permit the state. II it SO wills, to cir
cumscrlbe the sale of intoxicating bev-
erages within It's boundaries to the full
extent that 1t may desire to restrain
such traffic. to tax or TO regulate the
sale Of the same through the medium
OF its own laws, including local option
laws, high license laws or dispensary
laws.

LAND LAW HOLDS
DESERT ACT NOT REPEALED
Reeders Bill Repeating the Act De-
feated in House irrigation Com
mittee by Large Majority.


Washington. April 9.-The House
committee on irrigation yesterday took
a vote on Representative Reeder's bill
repeating the desert land act. The bill
was overwhelmingly defeated. by a
vote OF S to 3
Those voting for II were Reeder.
Van Duser and Underwood
The closing debate on the proposition
was very acrimonious and at times
consideable feeling was manifested by
both sides
Representative Hogg was one of tho
last Speakers to address the committee
and made a strong speech against the
bill. He said he deplored the senti-
ment which had sprung up within the
last year or two. which appeared to
have no other object than to make the
settlement of the West more difficult.
The fact that railroads had contrib
uted nearly $4,000 annually for the
purpose OF creating sentiment in favor
of the repeal Of the act was considered
by Mr. Hogg to be very significant He
left II 10 the committee TO consider
whether this was philanthropy on the
part OF the railroads. The committee,
he said would probably place it's own
construction upon this fact, and he
earnestly requested it not to endorse
the repeal OF the act under which some
of the most thriving sections OF the
West had been settled.
In the course of his remarks he
called attention to the lavish creation
OF forest reserves. which, he stated.
was method OF nulllfying the land
laws and in which also the railroads
had shown their hand by their unusual
interest In having these reserves ere
ated. thus enhancing the value of their
own land, This same thing would ap-
ply. he stated. II the desert land act
was repealed.
Chairman Mondell made the closing
argument against repeal He said
II am not surprised that Mr. Max
well Is working for the repeal OF this
and other land laws. The fact that he
derives his funds almost entirely from
land and script owning railroads has
already been brought out. Another in
teresting thing which has not been so
well understood. is that Mr.. Maxwell
nevep has been honestly in favor of the
national irrigation law as 1t now
stands, He has always favored the
taking up Of the work of irrigation by
specific projects. This plan would fur
nish steady employment in lobbying
these projects through Congress. The
only way to bring this about now is to
defeat the objects of the national irri-
cation law. and this can be most ef-
fectlvely accomplished by taking away
its source of revenue. to-wit; the sales
of public lands"
The bill repeating the timber and
stone act is still pending before the
House committee on public lands. Prior
to the exposure OF the Maxwell lobby
there was a general feeling that this
bill would be passed. but there has
been such a reversion Of seatiment on
the question OF repeal that IL is now
conssderud doubtful II ahy repeal leg
islation will be enacted

BURNS WINS AGAINST DOYLE.

filed in which Doyle claimed nearly
million dollars In payment for his in
terests in the Bobtail. Tidal Wave and

part OF the Portland company's prop
critics. The suit was instituted In 1893
and Judgment was rendered for s717.-

set aside. on showing made by Burns.

continue proceedings In Iowa, but
which Doyle refused to do.
The trial at Council Bluffs was made
famous because of each side using q

Doyle secured Judgment against Burns
in December. 1902, for $449.922. in ad-
dition to $4,000 colts and interest.

Supreme Court, which yesterday re-
doing Burns was obliged to put up

Russia Buying German Vessels.

Berlin. April 1.-THE Russian gov
ernment has not ceased its purchases
OF German transatlantic liners.
It is learned from a trustworthy
source that Russia at present is in ne
gotiation for the purchase of a con-
siderable number of German vessels.
These are to be armed. and. together
with the Smoleski and the Orel of the
Black Sea fleet are to form flying
squadron OF fast cruisers.
The Fuerst Bismarck. which has
been renamed the Don. will join this
squadron.
The Russian government is also ne
gotiating with the French Compagnie
Trans-Atlantique.
Representatives of Sir William Arm
strong, the German yard at Germania
and other shipbuilding yards. have
been in st. Petersburg for the last
three weeks discussing orders for new
warships with the Russian admiralty
The fashion in which the sale OF
German and transatlantic liners has
been denied up. to the very moment
they were handed over to the Russian
government is the subject of some
hard comment in the German press.
The sale of the vessels. which are
in the list OF German admiralty as
auxiliary cruisers in times of war,
shows a somewhat broad conception
of the word neutrality. The only ar
gument In favor Of the course pursued
by Russia is that Japan probably in
tends to reinforce her navy by similar
means If it should be necessary.

Russla's Baltic Squadron.

Paris, April 1.-THE st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Petit Parisienne
cables an interview which he had with
Rear Admiral Rojestvensky, chief of
the general staff of the navy, in the
course of which the admiral admitted
that he had been offered and accepted
the command of the Baltic squadron.
adding he was not certain whether the
squadron would go to the far East.
The Emperor, the admiral said. says
that the squadron is to be ready TO
sail by June 18th next, but this is con-
sidered too hasty a movement in of
hcial circles, where IL is affirmed that
on the departure of the squadron a
certain complication may arise in Eu-
rope.
Moreover, there will not be work
for seaman in the far East in Septem-
ber, for by them said the admiral,
the Japanese will have conveyed to
Korea sufficient cannon. ammunition
and provisions to enable them to car
ry on a campaign for many months.
The Japanese will not hesitate to
spend enormous sums for apparently
inadequate results. and this proves
that they are sure they can renew their
supplies and ammunition and that they
have safe friends who will furnish all
they need"
Questioned concerning the japanese
tactics, the admiral said:
Vice Admiral Togo is quite right TO
remain faithful to his plan, although
the appearances were against him. We
know from sure source that he is
certain he can repair his vessels and
renew his supplies. even of heavy ar
tillery, IL needful."
Admiral RojestvenslSy expressed re-
gret that Russia did not take the initia-
tive in attacking, even in sacrificing
her fleet. If thereby she crippled the
Japanese navy"
