Scheme To Kepeal the
Tariff Bill.
11 NK THEY CAN GET THE VOTES
I th. Bill Wirt Referred to the
Senate Finance Committee This
Afternoon The Home Pro
ceedings. Washington. Ang. 16. The republl
a steering committee today decided to
pport the motion to refer the four snp-
emental tariff bills to the finance com
ittee, and to seek to amend in various
ays, the principal amendment being
Jr a repeal of the tariff bill jast passed.
Jhey count upon the votes of Hill, Caf-
ry, Blanchard, Allen and Kyle. , If the
peal amendment should fail, they
jould seek to substitute a bounty pro-
sion in the pending bill for free sugar,
d would expect to secure the votes of
ese five senators, except Hill. They
ill also offer other amendments in
rtnin contingencies, including one for
duty on wool. They admit the sugar
11 should paes, with an amendment
roviding, either for bounty or for the
peal of the main bill. The bouse
obably would refuse to accept it, and
oat likely would fail in conference,
lit they claim . the senate, especially
e republican senators, would not be
sponsible for that result. -

knnual trip of inspection of the property

Their Mission a Fall ore.
Wabhington.Auit. 16. Four members
pf the Hawaiian commission who came
Lere to secure redress for ex-Queen
Liliuokalani or to prevent the recogni-
ton of the new republic, left for Hono-
uln via San Francisco. Their mission
r&a a complete failure. There is every
eason to believe also that the royal en
rovB failed to see the nreaident hnforA
pis departure for Buzzard's bay. It is
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
understood the position taken by the
state department was that when the
United States offered to restore Lilliuok-
alani on granting a general amnesty
and she refused, the administration
considered its relations with, the ex
queen terminated.
Recruits For Japan.
Los Angeles, - Cal. Aug, 16. The
Chinese and Japanese colonies here
have been greatly stirred up lately by
the presence of a mysterious white man
who moves secretly and who, ' to those
he has confidence in, exhibits credentials
from the Japanese war department
authorizing him to make contracts with
persons or corporations in the name of
Japan. ' It is learned that his purpose
is to enlist 1,000 sturdy Americans, men
who have had experience as soldiers, in
the service of the , mikado for the par
ticular work of fighting Chinese. This
emissary has made contracts with the
steamship companies for the transpor
tation of his men. He offers $20 a month
to men who can pass the physical ex
amination, and promises them the best
rations and accomodations. The- pros
pect of looting some Chinese mandarin's
palaces is not the least of the prospects
which dazzle those adventurously-in
clined young men who are flocking to
the support of the crysanthemum dy
nasty, and as far as can be learned the
regiment will soon be completed. The
men will be armed with the latest patern
of military rifles, similar to the Mann
licher type and their uniform, it is
claimed will be a thing of dazzling
beauty, abounding in color effects. The
men are guaranteed return passage to
this country if they survive, or continu
ous employment in the army if they
prefer. ..
I.os Angreles Chinamen' ISxcited Over
i a Slave Girl's Disappearance.
Los Angeles, Aug. 16. The excite
ment in Chinatown here is still intense
over the stealing of a slave girl last Sat
urday. The Chinamen first thought the
girl was taken to San Francisco, but to
day a number of highbinders have at
tempted to enter several houses of white
people, saying they are looking for the
girl. Thirteen Chinamen are now guard
ing the residence of . A. Bogers, a prom
inent attorney. It is suspected that Bog
ers is harboring the girl. Rogers ap
peared on the oorch with a shotgun at
noon and drove the Chinamen out of the
yard, but they are still in the neighbor
hood. T. B. Burnett, general manager
of the Terminal Company, who lives
next door to Bogers has notified the
sheriff's office, and 10 deputies are now
on hand to keep the Chinese from, vio
lence. They tried to disperse the hea
then, but without success. The police
have been called for.
War Fever Intense in Japan.
Londox, Aug. 16. The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Times says 50,000
Japanese troops are already in Corea,
and others are constantly landing. The
Chinese fleet is passive. The correspond
ent adds : "The war fever in Japan is
intense. The press and popular orators
are advocating schemes for the conquest
of Manchuria. There is a strict censor
ship over the news. Everything re
ported concerning the war is extremely
partisan."
The Central News' Shanghai corre
spondent - says : "A fleet of eight ves
sels is reported to have passed Chee Foo
August 14th, bound westward."
Mars Is Not Peopled.
San Josk, Aug. 16. Professor Camp
bell, of the Lick observatory, has dem
onstrated with the spectrosio that the
planet Mars presents no evidence of hav
ing an atmosphere. Professor Holden
says if any atmospheric pressure exists
it is not as great as on our highest
mountains, and thus popular fancies
concerning the planet are overthrown.' '

tion of any big Japanese warship, 4000

A Trapped Bear Whips a Mountain IJon
and a Coyote.
A Montana ranchman, having lost &
fine brood of ducks, set a bear trap
baited with fresh beef, and that nigfht
heard a howl, which he" recognized as
that of a coyote. Knowing that the
animal could not escape he turned over
to sleep again, when he ' heard such a
chorus of howls that he went out to in
vestigate. He found a coyote and a
cinnamon bear caught in the trap,
showing that both animals had made
a strike for the beef at the same time,
while ten feet away was a mountain
lioh, waiting until one of the fighters
had killed the other before finishing
the winner. The bear and coyote
seemed to know this, and made no hos
tile sign, so the lion sneaked around to
the top of a sheep shed near by, where
he lay crouched for a moment, and
then made a spring, dropping squarelv
on the bear. A terrific struggle fol
lowed, in which the lion at first had
the best of it; but finally the bear got
a grip on his .adversary's' neck, the
lion's head dropped and he was
strangled to death. The bear was not
much better off, bleeding' from many
wounds, but he still had life eDough to
look after the. coyote. He made two
strokes at the coward of the plains and
crushed the life out of him. Then the
bear staggered around a minute and
rolled over dead.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of , tbe ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by .constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, aud unless
the inflammation can . be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused bv
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (.caused by catarth)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
