mas been in Harrisburg proving what

do for sufferers of rheumatism, ca
tarrh. kidney, liver. stomach or blood
troubles. It seems the longer the

EVERY day Harrisburg people are re-
porting themselves cured after taking
the Quaker remedies. Some people
do not believe that the testimonials
published are genuine. They are sub

inquiry at the drug store will also
prove that cures are being reported

Committees Report
It was resolved that the national
committee consider the question, for
mulate its conclusions and submit the
result of its deliberations for ratifica-
ton by State conventions. In reciting
the views that actuated the national
body the special committee of three
says:
The committee believed that should
conventions of delegated representa-
tives of the party, convened in the
number of States entitled to cast ma
jority of the votes in q national con-
vention, ratify the action taken by
the national committee in this respect.
its action could be assumed to fairly
express the sentiment of the great
majority of the party, for obviously
such State conventions when taken
together would consist of more repre-
sentatives of the party than would be
assembled in a national convention.
THE plan adopted and recommend
ed for ratification provides that the
Republican voters in each State shall
hereafter be represented in a national
convention of the party by four dele
ates-at-large; two delegates for each
representatives. -at-large in Congress;
one delegate from each congressional
district, and an additional delegate
from each congressional district in
which the vote of 1908 for any Re-
publican elector or for the Republican
nominee for Congress in 1914 shall
not have been less than 1900.
Alaska and the District of Column
bia under the plan. presented will each
be entitled to two voting delegates,
while Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands will each be en-
titled to two delegates without the
right to vote"
Texas Loses Sixteen
The result of this change in the
basis of representation, if ratified by
the requisite number of State conven-
tons. will be a decrease of 80 votes, as
follows: Alabama will lose 8, Arkan-
sas 8, Florida 4, Georgia IL, Louisiana

gates on the vote cast in the presiden-
tial election in 1908 will qualify for
two If $500 or more votes are cast
for the Republican nominees in the
congressional election this Tall.
Anticipating criticism from those
who believed that still greater de-
crease should have been provided in
Southern representation, the special
committee in it's recital says it is with
in the province of a majority of the
convention of 1916; If it so desires,

Ryan League Gets Busy
The Dauphin County Democratic
League. which is the organization op-
posed to Mccormick domination, last
night selected Charles d. Sucker as
treasurer and arranged for headquar.
ters in Market street near the Union
Station. 1t will put out banners and
make itself heard above the roar of
the printing presses in Market Square.
Plans are being made by the league
for a meeting and Ryan may be it's
orator if he can arrange to get here
around April II. Included in the
league are members of the Central
Democratic Club, which endorsed
Mccormick early in the game and is
going to give a Jefferson day dinner.
The Ryan men will all go to the din
ner, too, to show they're for Wilson.
In Steelton last night 1t was all
framed up for the Democratic club to
endorse Mccormick, but only seven
teen turned up. Some canny man
made a poll in advance and when he
found ten of the seventeen for Ryan
the meeting was not held.

FEARS EFFECT OF REVOLT.
Gallinger Thinks It Will initiate
Against Philippine Bill.

That the reported outbreak in the
Philippines against the United States
will initiate against the Philippine bill
tee on the Philippines was the opinion
expressed by some of the senators to-
day. Senator Gallinger, the republican
leader, said he thought the revolt on
the part of some of the Filipinos, as
reported in dispatches from the islands,
clearly indicated that the islands were
in no position to be given self-govern-
ment, or any definite promise of self
government.t
II am in favor of ultimately giving
the islands independence" said Senate:
Gallinger. but it is folly to say they
are ready for it now or that they will
Senator Shafroth of Colorado. demo-
crat, and a member of the Philippine
committee, declared he thought the re-
port of revolt in the islands was all
buncombe, and that it would be used by
opponents of the Philippine bill to delay
action on that measure. He insisted that
the pending bill should be enacted into
law, and that the F'ilipinos wanted it,
Senator Lippitt of Rhode Island, re-
publican, and also "a member of the
Philippine committee, said that the report
of the revolt in the Philippines was too
indefinite SO far to comment upon it.
Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the
Philippine committee, said that he knew
nothing about the Philippine revolt ex-
cept what he had read in the newspapers.
His committee, he said, would resume
hearings on the Philippine bill next We'd
nesday, and he would ask the War De-
partment to furnish the committee with
any information 1t might have about the
reported uprising

HEAVY ICE PROBABLE.
2lvermen Expect Closed Navigation
Except to Large Steamers.

1t is predicted by the rivermeI. that
should the present cold snap continue
ior forty-eight hours only screw-pro-
PEELED steamboats, will be able to go
through II with any ease and without
damage Wherever unmelted snow lay
on the surface of the river the cold last
night froze 1t into solid cake of ice.
and on open water clear ice from an
inch to two inches in thickness was
made. This was broken this morning
by the tugs and steamers, and under
the Highway bridge and along the
river the channel was comparatively
clear. In the harbor the docks were
filled with ice that held all sailing
craft prisoners. and if they want to
move the services of a tugboat will be
necessary to break them out The riv-
ermen report that needles of new ice
making could be seen on any open
water today, even with the sun on the
water. This makes 1t look like con-
siderable ice will form tonight.
In preparation for the coming of ice
thick enough to require plow to
break 1t, the harbor police boat Vigil
liant has been equipped with her ice
breaking beak. and is ready to patrol
the harbor and waters of the District
throughout the winter months The
Vigilant is the first tugboat to receive
a plow this season, but the masters of
the other tugboats have the icebreak-
ers belonging to their boats in readi-
ness and should a severe freeze come
will place them in position. With an
icebreaking device attached to her bow
tug can smash her way through ice
three times as heavy as she could
without plow. In addition to this the
plow protects the hulls of the tugboats
from damage while forcing their way
through the ice fields that cover the
river almost every winter.
