MAY STRIKE A SNAG.
Proposed RetaIiatory Tariff Measure
Is Meeting With DisfavOr.

Washington, Jan. 13.-An impress
sion prevails that the agreement of the
Republican leaders of both branches
of congress to pass a maximum and
minimum tariff bill before March 1,
with the particular end in view of
retaliation toward Germany, will meet
with much objection in the senate and
house The bill will be a very simple
one. fixing the present Dingley rates
as the minimum and providing for a
IS per cent duty against the imports
of those countries which discriminate
against American products.
1t is understood the state depart
ment looks with disfavor upon the
proposed legislation.
Secretary Root several months ago
took up with the German ambassador
a series of informal exchanges looking
to legislative adjustment of immediate
necessities of the situation. The secre-
tarY's efforts have been fruitless.

cash for that amount on the city books

An arrangement has been made with
England whereby a number of trading

and Canada is to pay the cost of main
tanning them. Heretofore England has

How to Break Up Cold.

1t may be surprise to many to
learn that a severe cold can be com
pletely broken up in one or two days
time. The first symptoms of a cold
are a dry, loud cough, profuse watery
discharge from the nose, and thin,
white coating on the tongue. When
Chamberlain's cough remedy is taken
every hour on the first appearance of
these symptoms, it counteracts the ef-
feet of the cold and restores the sys-
tenn to healthy conoltion within a
day or two. For sale by all leading
