April 6.-The political pris oners, wjth whom the' local Jail are crowded, have declared a "hunger strike." refusing to partake of food, to compel the authorities either to bring them to im mediate trial or order their release. Many of the prisoners have been three months in jail without being confronted with the charges against them, notwith standing the fact that Interior Minister Durnovo In an official order Instructed the local .officials throughout the empire to confront prisoners within 24 hours -with the charges. But the police also received Instructions to hold by adminis trative order all prisoners against whom no definite charges could be brought.

This momentous question was definitely determined by an audience-Jury of about 1H03 persons at the White Temple last Right, after listening to a debate on the subject by Dr. J. Whltcomb Broughcr and Rev. Clarence True Wilson. The fact that the latter, who Is a bachelor and has not practiced what he preached in regard to matrimony, proved that he knew more about the happiness of the married state than Dr. Brougher, who has been married for 15 years and has a family of children, might In itself be con strued into an argument for tho affirma tive side of the question, but as the pas tor of the White Temple suggested, there were so many married couples present that both husbands and wives were afraid to rote on his side of It, even though they thought that way. If Mr. Wilson does not eek a wife In the near future the prestige he attained last night will doubtless take Ita flight. He waa roundly abused and ridiculed by the affirmative speaker for being a bach elor, and was made the butt of many Jokes, while he himself admitted that the Good Book says. "It is not good for roan to be alone," and painted vivid pictures of the happlnesa of saarried JJfe. Dr. Brougher. on the contrary, painted the misery that prevailed 4n the majority of homes, even wandering liitoaaan coun tries to carry bis point. He had the child-wires of In a and the mothers of China to prove that more marriarea were failures than successes. But t with standing the fact that he e-STered to mar. ry all the young people preeeat. free ef charge, it he were stjMS tbe verdict, the popular aentiaeat 3a favor of matrimony carried the day, aad ht was Mewed under.

WATCHES FUBNISH TEXT American-Made Goods Arc Bought Abroad and Resold In America. Women and Children In the Factories. WASHINGTON. April . Tariff, rail way mall subsidies, denaturized alcohol and enlarged postal facilities for Western cities- were the features of the debate In the House today. What were alleged to be the Iniquities of the Dingley law, so far as the manufacture of watchea Is- con cerned, were discussed by Rainey. of Illi nois, whose tariff revision speech was lis tened to with much'lnteresU The 'stand patters" made copious notes for the dis cussions on protection which are fore shadowed. Immediately after the House met Rainey resumed his speech. Using the watch trust as an object lesson to show how protec tion works In behalf of monopolies, the lone Democrat from Illinois In the Na tional Legislature set up a "kindergarten school for standpatters. Rainey displayed a number of watches of American make, -which he said had been bought abroad and are now being resold in the United States, "Why does the gentleman continue to sneak of the watch trust T" asked Gard ner (Rep.. Mass.). "I am a stockholder In the Waltham Company, and I have no knowledge that they are In a trust." "You may have to show that before the -ways and means committee." retorted Rainey. Evils or Match Tru!.t. Rainey said In 1SS0 there were 27 watch factories In the United States. Now there are but 15. He said there wer 15 per cent more employed In the watch move ment factories now than In ISM. But there are GOO per cent more women em ployed and 200 per cent more children. Rainey thought that for the perpetuity of the raco this condition ought to be In vestigated. He asked the Republicans If he had been sufficiently explicit regard ing the watch trust, whether he satisfied the chairman of the committee on ways and means. He charged Payne (Rep.. N. Y.) with having gone about the cham ber yesterday and advised Republicans not to ask any questions. "You must have been a mlndrcadcr." replied Payne. "There are no leaders on the majority side of this House." continued Rainey. "The real leaders of the Republican party, are the McCurdys. McCalls and Hamll tons the Rockefellers who skulk behind stone walls, to resist service they are the real leaders of the Republican party." Predicts Democratic Victory. Ralnev read a letter from the Speaker to a friend in the West. In which he stated that "tariff revision would come In the not distant future." "How can It come If the Speaker doesn't want Itr asked Sulzcr (N. Y.. "It will come because the next House will be Democratic." responded Rainey. which brought t round of applause from the Democratic side. W. W. Kitchen (N. CV opposed the so cial subsidy for railway mall facilities from Washington to Atlanta, and New Or leans and Kansas City. Mo, to Newton. Kan. He said these special appropriations .were among the very first to bo recom mended for discontinuance by the Postmaster-General. Wondcr-Worklns Alcohol. Murdock (Kaxc). speaking in favor of the bill denaturing alcohol, made the claim that if the tax in taken off dena turized alcohol it will work a revolution In tho field of fuel, power and Illumina tion. He said: By known method tbe uni velum of al cohol burns nearly twice a long a eroen and clr a far better light; It I a cleaner and later fuel than ganollse. Kr rorthxl that re to com. I bHtv alcohol will a-ivanc far beyond Its present superiority.

The internal cotnbuaiioa engine 1 tnalclnc a as actually lived In all countries, nnd said that because his own marriage and home were zucceases was no reason that all others were. Dr. Wilson handled It as God's first and noblest institution, and claimed that because there were frequent failure of happiness in It. that It did not prove that the Institution of marriage is a failure. "It depends on who are married." he said. "If there is unhapplness It la the fault of one or the other, or both, but the failure of one 'or the other should not place a ban on this Institution. If you can find the right one to marry, and feel that j-ou enjoy mental similarity and physical contrast, and that there Is a pure love existing, you can prove that the marriage relation Is the happiest In the world." The concert which preceded the debate was one that waa thoroughly enjoyed, the programme being well arranged and delightfully rendered. The Sunday-school orchestra surprised many who had not heard It before, and the men's quartet, as well as the ladles quartet, won fresh laurela of popularity by their excellent performances.

April SL The gen era I conference of the Reorganized The Laxative op Known There are two classes of remedies: those of known qual ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting .gently, in harmony with nature, when natureneeds assist ance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remediesof known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge thatitis a most excellent laxative it will cure all manner of ills, but represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable orinjurious character. There are two classes of purchasers : those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of tbe druggists of the United States, be it said that nearly all of them value their integrity and the good will of their imitations of the . Genuine Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup C., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the fuM name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package.
