"29.-For an today the senate had under- disci the question whether a censorsh press dispatches exists in M "While no such scenes were enact were witnessed during yesterday1 sion the debate for a time was spirited. The secretary of wai quoted as saying that no press a ship now existed- in the Philip and a letter from Gen. Greeley chief signal offieer. of the army presented by Mr. Beveridge of ana, making the statement offi that there was no censorship of dispatches and that "the pre* entirely free." On.thp contrary i contended by the opposition th press censorship did exist in the ippines and that copies of every dispatch filed with the cable com was fifed with the military author That, it was maintained, constii a virtual censorship!..

Mr. Cullom maintained that Dingley act could not limit the ti v making power or tSie time in w the president shall make treaties. Addressing the senate Mr. M said the senator from Massachu (Mr. Hoar) made a statement a days ago to the effect that the S of Massachusetts had furnished i troops in the war of the R?volu than all that section of what is ki as Mason and Dixon's line, figures had been taken, it was sta from a report of Geh.. Knox, the secretary of war. Expressing entire belief that, the Massachus ssnator would not wittingly pre anything to the senate but the fa Mr. Money read from authorities show that the southern section of country had furnished its full qi of troops, Virginia supplying 56, and South Carolina 31,13L The la State had furnished 37 out of e^ 42 citizens capable of bearing ai while Massachusetts had furnished out of every 42. He read extensive tracts from historical authorities maintenance pf his posiiton. Mr. Hoar, in a statement rep with historical allusions, expiai that in whatever he may have s upon the subject referred to by ] Money, he had nc purpose of in: tuting a comparison between any ? tion of the country. He said he wo be the last person in the world to c parage the efforts of the south States in the war for independence. At the conclusion of Mr. Hoar's marks Mr. Bacon desired to contii the discussion of the participation the south in the Revolutionary w bnt Mr. Loige, who had the flo though it better to proceed with c< sideration of the Philippine measu The senator from Alabama (Mr. M gan) he said, had expressed a desire speak upon his proposed amendm< to the pending bili, and he thong he ouzht to be permitted to proceed ? Mr. Bacon appealed to Mr. Morg to permit him to speak briefly. "Certainly," replied the Alaba] senator, "speak as long as you like. Mr. Lodge, however, declined yield the floor. His ' declination ir tated Mr. Tillman who said : "You can't gag us in your effort force this Philippine bill. How dc the senator get his Own permission be so invidious and ungracious?" Mrs Lodge disclaimed any intenti of being unzracious. He said if 3M Morgan did not care to go on he hil . self would present the matter bearii upon the Philippine bill.

Durinz Senator Lodges' remark Mr. Dubois said that in his judgmen there was a censorship in Manila. ?v newspaper can file a dispatch with th cabie company in Manila withot filing an exact copy or duplicate of i with the military authorities. "You may quibble over that fad In my opinion that is a censorship." Mr. Lodge said that he had calle upon the secretary of war last evenin and had been assured by him tba there was no censorship of press dis patches in the Philippines. Mr. Beveridge said that he had re quested an official statement upon tb subject from Gen. Greely, chief signa offijer of the army. Gen. Greely wrote 'Censors'Jp in the Philippine isl ands has bs en removed entirely be tween these islands and Europe an( America, save in the case of code mes sages of unauthorized firms having n< standing.

"Necessarily a limited censorship ii maintained over messazes in the Phil ippine archipelago and to adjacen' points where insurgent troops anc agents are in active hostility againsi the United States.

After brief remarks by Senators Wellington and Stewart, Mr. Bacon ga?ned t'ne floor. After brief remarks by Senators Wellington and Stewart, Mr. Bacon gained the floor. He criticized Mr. Lodze for declining to yield to him at the time he desired to proceed, insisting that according to the usages and proprieties of the senate he had had a "right to the floor, but Mr. Lodge had seen fit to deny him that courtesy. He then proceeded to dis? cuss at length the historical ??question which had been raised by Mr. Money concluding^with a trib?telo Mr. Hoar "for his loyalty to free institutions" and expressing the hope that the peo? ple of Massachusetts would prove themselves to be in harmony with him. Mr. Tillman said he desired "to draw a few draughts from the fount of li berty," but would postpone his re? marks upon the historical subject which had been broached, until to? morrow? PE?GE WITHOUT DISHONOR. England ib Now Anxious to End the War Without Further Hu? miliation. London, January 28.- The Govern? ment leader, A. J." Balfour, announced in the House of Commons today that no overtures for peace had be?n re? ceived from anyone authorized to speak in behalf o*f the Boers. A com? munication was, however, received late on Saturday last from the Dutch Government, which was now under consideration. Mr. Balfour hoped shortly to lay the communication and the reply to it before the House. The Government of Holland has offered in the most friendly terms to help in bringing about peace in South Africa. In a communication to the British Government the Dutch Government suggests that it might be permitted to act as a sort of diplomatic agent for the Boer delegates. The Government, however, expressly disavows any at? tempt at intervention and does not mention any terms. lt was learned by a representative of the Associated Press that the Brit? ish Government infers that it would not have been approached unless the Dutch authorities were convinced that the Boer delegates now in Europe were willing to accept. the cardinal points of the British peace terms, so fre? quently announced in Parliament. Lord Lansdowne, the foreign secre? tary, replied in friendly terms to the Netherlands proposal, but instituted inquiries in order to ascertain the ex? tent of the* powers delegated by Mr. Kruger and the other Boer representa? tives in Europe to act in behalf of the Boers in the field. Great doubt is ex? pressed at the foreign office here as to whether any negotiations carried on by the Boer delegates through the Dutch Government or other channels will prove effectual. If satisfactory guarantees in this respect can be se? cured negotiations will be begun im? mediately. This doubt in regard to the authority of Mr. Kruger and oth? ers to speak for the fighting burghers is perceptible in the statement of Mr. Balfour made in the House of Com? mons today. . . The announcement of Mr. Balfour caused a senstation in the lobbies of Parliament. Lord Rosebery is gener? ally credited with having brought about this movement on the part of. the Dutch Governmnt. It is recalled that the Dutch premier, Dr. Kuyper, in an interview publish? ed about Christmas time, was repre? sented to have urged the impossibil? ity of Holland's intervening in South Africa unless he had reason to think that both parties wished it. Conse? quently it is regarded as certain that the present movement was inspired by the Boer delegates. The Petit Bleu, of Brussels, the organ of the Krugerites, flatly denied last night that the Boer delegates had charged anyone to make peace propo? sals, and professed to be in entire ignorance of the Dutch communica? tion. The Daily News this morning claims credit for the initiation of the peace movement. The paper says that, after Rosebery's speech at Chesterfield, it sent Dr. Bisschop, who is neither Briton nor Boer, on a mission to the Continent to invite the Boer delegatez to a consideration of thebasis of nego? tiations which Lord Rosebery suggest? ed. . The Daily News declines to reveal the outcome of the conference, but practically avows that the Boer dele? gates still insist upon independence. Editorially the Daily News draws the inference that the Government has already replied and has rejected the Dutch overtures as unauthorized, as otherwise Mr. Balfour would not have been in a position to promise the pa? pers on the subject, this promise show? ing that no further negotiations were on foot. This was the impression in the lob? bies asa result of the announcement of the Government leader and semi-offi? cial statements in Government J pa? pers this morning state that the out? look for peace is not hopeful. . Those-acquainted with Boer senti? ments assert that Messrs. Fischer and Wolmarans and Gens. Schalkburgher and Botha are willing to recognize British annexation, while Mr. Kruger and Dr. Leyds, Gen. DeWet and President Steyn still insist upon inde? pendence. Therefore at present it is considered hopeless to arrive at any agreed basis of negotiations.

They will make you feel like a new man and give you an appetite like a bear. For sale by Dr A J China. For Lieutenant Governor. We nominate Senator J. Lyles Glenn for lieutenant governor for the next term, subject to his consent to become a candidate. We know that his present office, that of senator, is interfering very much with his own regular business at present, and this is a consideration that we fear may dissuade him from allowing bis name to be used. We are sure that he would appreciate the honor if called to that position. The question is whether he will feel justified in making the neces? sary sacrifice of his private business. To people of Chester and the neigh? boring counties it is useless to say anything of Mr. Glenn's character or qualifications, and he is well known to many people in all parts of the st^te. It is just such men that are needed in j public places, men of pure life and un? questioned integrity: men who can look impartially at ali sides of a meas? ure and make their decision a matter of conscience. *^Mr. Glenn is not a politician. He has never sought an office, and never held one before the one he now fills, except such as have been thrust upon him in connection with religious and educational matters and the adminis? tration of municipal affairs, unless we consider his membership in the con stittuional convention an office. Mr. Glenn is admirably fitted for the duty ol' presiding over the senate. He is always cool. He never gets "rattled." He is exceptionally fair. A great deal can be said in favor of Mr. Glenn for Lieutenant governor, but that is not our purpose at present. We wish the people of the state to take his name under consideration, and if he is not as well fitted for the place as any man that offers, then they need not vote for him.-Chester Lan? tern. HOG CHOLERA. Dr. T. J. Dodge, of Hamilton, Illi? nois, writes as follows to the Iowa Homestead on the subject of hog cholera : I deem it my duty to give to the ! public free, my recipe for the cure of j what is termed hog cholera. I have used this remedy for 35 years, and raised hogs on my ranch in Nebraska j and never lost a hog. I have experimented by placing one well hog with a lot of sick ones, and keeping it well by the use of this remedy. You will confer a great favor upon the farmers of our country by publishing this recipe in full. I am now engaged in other business, and have been for 16 years, and am willing to let others prosper by the long years of experience of mine with a remedy I discovered myself for the cure of this dreaded disease. The prescription and directions are as follows : Arsenic, one-half pound ; cape aloes, one-half pound; blue vitriol, one fourth of a pound; black antimony, one ounce. Grind and mix well the remedy before using. The following are the directions for using : 1. Sick hogs ih ail cases to be sepa? rated from the well ones, and placed in dry pens with only five large hogs or eight in each pen. 2. Feed nothing but dry food, b^t no water, only the slop containing the remedy, until cured. 3. When hogs refuse to eat, turn i them on their backs, and then, with long-handled spoon, put the dry medi? cine down their throats. 4. Dose for large hogs: One teas? poonful three times a day for three days ; then miss one day, and repeat amount until cured. Shoats or pigs one-half the amount. 5. As a preventive, one teaspoonful once a week, will keep your hogs in a healthy condition to take on fat. I can place one well hog in a pen with one hundred sick ones, and with this remedy keep him well. 6. Let no other stock but hogs have access to this remedy, as it is to them a deadly poison. 2 Dr. Dodge adds, that for many years he sold his recipe for $5, and treated hogs at the rate of $1 per head, paying the owner 10 cents a pound for all that died after treatment began.

I tell you," said the suburbanite gloom? ily to his city friend at lunch. "What's the matter? Fipes burst? Furnace won't work? Dog killing the neighbors' chickens?" asked the friend, sympathetically running through the list of the suburbanite's usual griev? ances. "No; worse than that," sadly answer? ed the first speaker. "I've been hav? ing an English friend visit me. It's years since I've been across the water, so one or two of his ways were a little strange. The worst of his doings was what has broken me up so. He went to bed the first night before the rest of us, and when I came along the corridor an hour or so later there were his shoes standing outside his door and frightfully muddy too. "I looked at them in astonishment Then I remembered the English cus tom of having the boy come up for the boots. We keep only two servants, you know, both women, and of course in the country you have to rub them the right way or they'll leave. I knew perfectly well that if I told either of those free and independent Irish wo? men to clean the Englishman's shoes we'd be left servantless. and that would have been the death of my wife. "I lifted the shoes gingerly by two fingers and camed them to room. When I thought the servants must be asleep, I crept down stairs and got to work with a brush. At every sound I would nearly jump out of my own boots and drop his. I fancied every moment that the girls would see my candle and give the alarm of H?'glars or that my friend would be taken ill. and get up and find me brushing his shoes. Oh, I had a pretty time of it! He stayed a week, that Englishman, and what with loss of sleep and over? strained nerves I'm a wreck." "Well, why on earth didn't you have the moral courage to" "Moral courage! I'd like to see the man who'd have the moral courage to tell an English gentleman with a mono? cle that the ways of even well bred people in this country differ from those he's been accustomed to! My friend, you do not know the breed!" And he drowned his sorrows and braced his nerves with a second cup of unsur? passed coffee.-New York Tribune. Bitterness. "There's that girl singing *A Dird In a Gilded Cage!"' said the nervous man. "Yes." answered the boarding house wag. "If I had a bird that couldn't sing any better than that, I'd open the cage and let it fly awav."-Washington Star. A Flattcrinff Apologry. "The conductor asked me for my fare twice today, but he apologized so neat? ly that I couldn't find fault." "What did he say?" "He said ho thought he had collected the first fare from a much older look? ing person."-Cleveland Plain Dealer. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of . A STORY OF LINCOLN. The Letter That Was Stolen and the Rascal Who Stole lt. Benajat G. Jayne during most of the civil war was the personal assistant of Edwin M. Stanton, the famous war secretary. One day Lincoln sent for Jayne to come to the White House. "My boy," said he, "there is a letter I would like to have you look at." Jayne picked up the letter and found it was from General Dix. It conveyed the information that several Fedora 1 prisoners had escaped from Libby pris? on with the aid cf Abbie Green, a wo? man famous during the war. The let? ter also said that, as the fact of Ab Die's assistance was well known, she had been obliged to flee from Rich? mond and even then was on her way to Washington on the flag of truce boat "Now, my boy," said the president, "I don't know what I should say to any rascal who would steal that letter and have a bill passed through con? gress to grant $10,000 to the relief of Abbie Green." Mr. Jayne "stole the letter," and the next day both branches of congress passed the bill to grant $10,000 to Abbie Green. The following morning "Honest Abe" sent fer Jayne again. "I told you 1 didn't know what i should say," he said, with a twinkle in his eye, "to the rascal who would steal b that letter and have congress act on it Now, I've made up my mind what to say. You go down to No. - - street, get Abbie Green, take her down to Chase at the treasury? and don't you let ber go until she gets that money." - New Orleans Times-Democrat. Swallowing: Salt Water. One of the most beneficial features of a sea bath is the salt water inadver? tently swallowed by bathers. It is a wonderful tonic for the liver, stomach and kidneys. In many cases it will cure biliousness when all drug prepara? tions have failed. It is peculiarly ef? fective in ordinary cases of indigestion, disordered stomach and insomnia and has been known to produce excellent results in many cases of dyspepsia. Clean sea water is full of tonic and sedative properties. It won't hurt any? body. Indeed two or three big; swal? lows of it would be of positive benefit to nine bathers out of ten. It is not, of course, a palatable or tempting dose to take, but neither is quinine or calo? mel. You seldom if ever see an old sailor who is bilious or dyspeptic or a victim to insomnia, and why? For the reason that an ocean of gojd medicino spreads ali about his sky. and he closes himself copiously with it whenever his physical mechanism becomes the least bit deranged.-Washington Star. Crnelty to Lobsters. It ls singular how th? cruel practice of boiling lobsters alive continues. Our .forefathers - and indeed our parents -let calves bleed slowly to death, on the theory that in no other way could white meat be secured, and later on calves were bled one day and killed the next. Now. every one knows that a calf can be killed in a humane manner and the veal made just as gpod, and? generally speaking, animals killed for food have been put out of the way in a much more humane manner than for? merly. But lobsters are still tortured out of existence, the only difference be? ing that, while formerly they were ex- , elusively boiled to death, now some are boiled and some are broiled. Which process causes the most agony no one can say.-Exchange. Monotonous. Tones. If voices were cultivated toward ex? pression in speaking as well as in sing? ing, the variety of tone would be very agreeable to the listener. Many people find the monotonous tone used in ev? eryday conversation very Irritating and would hail with delight any meth? od which would tend toward breaking this tiresome sameness. Even beauty of tone does not save this monotony from condemnation. It is like striking one key of a musical instrument over and over again. The teaching of elo? cution should be of aid in this direc? tion cr the practice of reading aloud, striving to give proper expression to each sentence.-Detroit News-Tribune. Canght a Tartar. Like so many of his learned brethren in the Church of England, the late Canon Carter was the terror of com? positors. His was perhaps, after Dean Stanley's, the very worst handwriting of the last century. About 1SS0 the then bishop of Lich? field, Dr. Maclagan, surprised one of his secretaries by saying: *I have hardly ever received an anonymous letter, but I got one this morning. It is very badly written, and I can hardly make lt out. but from the signature it is sure to be- abusive. The man has signed himself 4A Tartar.' See if you can make it out." The secretary, who knew the hand? writing, rather startled his lordship by rejoining: "It's nothing alarming. ' It's only a note from Canon Carter of Clewer!"-London Tit-Bits. Lies of the White Kind. The whole fabric of social inter? course is interwoven with what would be lies according to a strict code. Some are pleasant fictions that deceive no? body. Most of them have their genesis in a kindly, cheerful desire to avoid giving pain. These polite untruths are the lubricant of society. They wear away the rough edges, take away the sting out of uncomfortable facts. They are the flower of courtesy, "the pine? apple perfume of politeness."-Wash? ington Times. The Be*t Lifter. Hiram-That boy of yours what went to college could do some powerful lift? ing with the clubs and dumbbells. Silas-Yes, but I always thought more of the other one's lifting powers. Hiram-Did he lift dumbbells and the like? Silas-No; he lifted the mortgage. Philadelphia Record. VALUE OF AN HONEST EYE. A Boxiness Mon's Experience In HI ins an Office Assistant. A business man said that he once de? voted haif a day to hiring a man whom he needed in his office. In an? swer to his advertisement a great many applicants called. He rejected the first because he would not look him in the eye. "The second man," said the merchant, "was armed with a double barreled recommendation from his pas? tor, with testimonials as to his busi : ness ability and good character; but, though he looked me in the eye, I saw that we could never hope to get along ; well together, and so I dismissed him. , The third interested me the moment he stepped inside the dcor. He was poor ! ly dressed, and, though his clothes were whole, they were at least two sizes too small. It was evident that his attire troubled him not the least, for he held his head high and as he ap? proached my desk looked me squarely in the eye. He said that he had no rec? ommendation, that he had no business experience, but that he was willing to do his best to please me. In an instant it dawned upon me that before me was the man that I was looking for. He had nothing to recommend him save an honest, bright eye and a pleas? ant face, bur that was sufficient. I en? gaged him on the spot "Since then I have seen fit to ad: vance him over a man who had been with me three years. The latter grum? bled, but there was reason for my move-the new man had proved him? self worthy of promotion." Instances might be definitely multi? plied of the value of an honest eye. That wonderful window of the soul, the eye, is a sure index to character. If you have it not cultivate a bright, honest straightforward look. It will more than repay your effort. Look up and fearlessly meet the eyes of those with whom yon converse. Many a choice position has been lost through an indifferent flinching eye, and many a coveted position has been won through a fearless, honest eye. That kind of eye is better than a hundred recommendations.-Success. Barro Punching: Profanity. In his book "A Day With a Tramp and Other Days" Walter Wyckoff tells the following story of profanity and burro punching in the west: "The burros plainly shared the feel? ing of relief in reaching a more passa? ble region, and the art of burro punch? ing began consequently to disclose its difficulties. # "They were most difficult to manage at the fords. Generally they scattered to the four winds at the first approach to water, and when we had corralled them again and forced them down to the brink they would stand calmly, planted ankle deep in the stream, res? olutely determined not to move. "It was then that Price gave vent to real profanity, and I am hound to own that it was effective. When beating and prodding and the milder invective failed to urge the burros forward, Price would stand back, pale with rage, and begin to swear, calling upon all his gods and blasting the reputa? tion of his beasts unto the third and fourth generation of their ancestors. "By some subtle perception they seemed to understand that this meant business, and slowly at first but pres? ently, as though they rather enjoyed the water, they waded through and started down the trail beyond." There Are TITO Kinds of Mustard. There are two varieties of mustard -black and white. Black mustard is the most valuable for commercial pur? poses. Its seeds are very minute, weighing not more than one-fiftieth of a grain each. Its pungent taste is caused by an essential oil. This oil can, like fruit flavors, be exactly imi? tated by the chemists. Both as a table condiment and as a medicine mustard has been known from a very remote period. As now found in our grocery stores this spice consists of white and black mustard seeds, mixed and ground fine. The white mustard keeps better than the black variety and is not so bitter. A good deal of the mustard sold is adulterated, sometimes with wheat flour, but more often with tumeric, the pulverized root of a common East In? dian plant Both Cau?ht. There are two Portland women who have lost faith each in the other. They were attending the meeting of the lit? erary union and on emerging from the hall found a sharp shower in progress. Each announced to the other that she must telephone for a carriage, and they departed into different stores, os? tensibly for that purpose. When, ten minutes later, the women met in a Spring street trolley car, no allusion was made the carriage. - Kennebec (Me.) Journal. Sb a kins Randi.
