1MFE5UAL, FEDERATION.
Services in South Africa Have Made
Such Alliance Probable.
NEW YORK, March 22. A special to
the Herald from Washington says that
the volunteer participation of Canada
and other colonies of the empire In the
war in South Africa has brought the
question of imperial federation within
the domain of practical politics is not
now denied even by those who a year
ago were disposed to treat imperial
federation as an ultra-loyalist fad. To
such an extent is this the case that Ca
nadian statesmen do not hesitate pub
licly to avow their sympathy with the
objects of the British empire league.
Among its most ardent members to
day are the Hon. J. P. Tarts, minister
of public works, who more than any
other man in parliament represents
French-Canadian jentiment in Quebec;
Sir Louis Davles, minister of marine,
who is today elaborating a scheme for
the formation of a Canadian naval re
serve under the Aegis of the British
admiralty and the Hon. Dr. Bordon,
minister of militia, who is fitting out
a regiment to take the place of the
Imperial regulars that are to be with
drawn from garrison- duty at Quebec
for bervice abroad.
"If you want us to help you, call us j
;o your council," said Sir Wilfred Lau- '
rler, referring to the proposal that Can
ada should participate In all future
wars of Great Britain. "If you want
us to take part in your wars, let us
hare not only in the burdens but the
responsibilities and duties as well."
A prominent liberal member states
that the probable outcome of the im
perial awakening will be a conference
of colonial representatives to be held
in London at the close of the war to
consider some scheme of federal rep
resentation on the linos of mutual de
fense and mutual preferential trade
that will not abridge the independence
of the colonies in their management
of local affairs.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.
Certain llailroads and Shippers Oppose
the Cotton Amendments.
NEW YORK, March 22. The Times
says:
Statements made by two representa
tives of Eastern and Western railroads
respectively, throw .wme light on the
attitude which the railroads have as
sumed toward the amendments to the
interstate commerce law introduced by
Senator Cullom and by which it is in

lines Senator Depew said htst night
that the railroads In this section had
not paid much attention to legislation
at Washington in recent years, and
that it did not make much difference
to Eastern roads what amendments
would be made to the Interstate com
metre law.
"Changes in the law," said the sena
tor, "would not affect us much and
we could earn a living under almost
any law that could be made. But I
understand that considerable opposl
Hon has developed amng Western
lines."
In view of Mr. Depew's close asso
ciation with the Vanderbllt system,
his statement is taken to mean that
i the Vanderbllt Interests are rather In
favor of the proposed changes. In fact
it is generally believed that Senator
Pepew may be counted upon as one
of the champions of the proposed
changes.
Directly opposed to these views Is the
attitude of some of the Western lines.
Vice-President Clough, of the Great
Northern, Is quoted as saying that his
line did not approve of the amendments
on the ground that an uniform classi
fication could not welt be maintained
on account of the different demands
of different sections of the country.
Shippers, too, are not of one opinion
as regards the proposed changes.
The national board of trade at a re
cent meeting, adopted .ind recommend
ed an amendement which. It is now
claimed, is not what it seems to be,
and some of the members of the board
declared that the national body has
been trapped into indorsing un amend
ment which will probably permit pool
ing among the rairoads.
JAPANESE IN HAWAII.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 22. -Advices
from Honolulu fay that F. Hiral,

that the Japanese in Hawaii are dis
criminated against in measures adopt

The Japanese government has taken
Btps to prevent any further immigra
tion of their s ubjects to the Hawaiian
islands while the present situation

a thousand Japanses in Honolulu with
out employment.

ENGLAND WILL ACCEPT.
Is Willing That the fnlted States Shall
Have Same lights In Nicarng'ia
Canal She Has In Sues.
NEW YORK. March 22. A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
There are good reasons now fur be
lievlng that Great Britain will accept
the ltavis amendment to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty under which the
United States will have the right to
place the same safeguards around the
Nlcantguan canal as the Pritlxh gov
ernment enjoys In respect to the Suet
canal.
It was strongly intimated to your
correspondent by a diplomat usually
well Informed, that Great HrlMln, with
some show of reluctance at first, will
in the end acrept the amendment. The
Informant also expressed the opinion
that all of the European nations will
Join in the neutrality agreement ton
templated by the treaty, notwithstand
Irg the Davis amendment.
Senator Davis will urge considera
tion of the treaty at an early date, as
It is his belief that Great Britain will
agree to the amendment.
The object of the Davis amendment
Is in effect to place In the hands of the
United States the Mine authority for
the control of the Nicaraguu canal
which Great Britain enj ys in respect
to the Sues canal that Is. the United
States shall have the right to take
measures it may find necessary for se
curing by Its own forces the defense
of the United States and the mainten
ance of public order.
The Central American republics
heartily applauded the Hay-Paumvfote
treaty until the Davis amendment was
adopted. Then thjy developed fear that
this government might acquire a desire
for increased expansion and that they
might suffer as a result.
A DISTINGUISHED APOSTATE.
Frank Jones, of New Hampshire, Has
Come Over to the Republi
can Party.
NEW YORK, March 22. A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Frank Jones, of New Hampshire, un
disputed leader of the Granite state
democracy for a quarter of a century
and a bosom friend of ex-President
Cleveland, during the tatters twelve
years of political activity, has re
nounced all connection with the demo
cratic party, and will vote and work
for McKinley this year.
For sixteen years, up to 1893. Mr.
Jones was the chairman of the delega
tion from New Hampshire to the demo
cratic national convention. He was a
delegate to the convention which nomi
nated Bryan but when he found that
free silver was a certainty In the plat
form he broke away from the party
before the convention and voted for
McKinley.
He has been elected a delegate to the
Philadelphia convention by the New
Hampshire republicans.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
The recent wonderful accomplish
ments in wireless telegraphy bring to
mind forcibly the value of electricity.
It Is probable that much work will be
saved by means of this subtle fluid.
There is no limit to its possibilities.
Applied to material objects, It causes
them to move as with life, while with
out it the human body cannot be strong
and healthy. The best means of filling
the body with vitality, is by the use
of Hostetter's Ftomach Bitters. Lack
of life in the stomach causes indiges
tion, dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness and malaria. Any of these symp
toms means the bitters Is needed at
once. Just now, when the seasons are
so variable, it is particularly valuable,
and a regular dose will keep the bowels
active and healthy.
Dawn is that single hour of the twenty-four
when crime ceases, debauchery
is exhausted, and even desolation finds
a shelter.

The following paragraph has been ap

leading English papers, and as a re
sult thousands of boxes of Reecham'g
Pills have found their way to the fight

benefit to the soldiers has resulted.
"The proprietor of Reecham's Pills

Mr. Beeehama public spirit Is con

other day we read of his bidding for
the manuscript of the now famous
"Absent Minded Beggar," nnd of the
honors which his town had bestowed
upon him as mayor of St. Helen's.
Small wonder that thousands who have

as a personal benefactor rather than a
