; Is due not only to the originality and
I simplicity of the combination, bat also
! to the care and skill with which it is
i manufactured by scientific processes
i known to the California Fio Syrup
j Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
; all the importance of purchasing the
'true and original remedy. As the
1 genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured f j
: by the California. Fiq Sybixf Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fra Svkup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating1 or weaken
ing1 them, and it docs not gripe nor

SELF-GOVERNMENT
TOR THE ISLANDS
House Also Has a Speech on the Phil
ippines Agricultural Appropria.
tion Bill Passed.
"Washingtox, Dec. 20. Senator Teller
occupied the first half of toddy's session
of the senate with a speech in advocacy
-of the theory that there are no re
strictions upon the right of the United
States to expand its borders so far as to
include far distant territory. He went
into the legal points bearing upon the
question and incidentally discussed at
eome length the form of government for
the Philippines, saying he would en
courage self government among the is
landers, and would givo them the most
liberal government which tbey are capa
ble of conducting, but that he would
not take down the American flag where
once planted. -
The bouse listened to the first speech
on the annexation of the Philippines
Williams, a Democratic member of the
foreign affairs committee, in an hour's
speech, stated his opposition to a pol
icy which would bring the islands under
the sphere of the United States' influ
ence. He contended that it would be
hostile to the spirit of our institutions
to assume control of over nine million
people; that annexation would cost us
$140,000,000 a year; that the annexation
of the islands met none of the tests
which applied to our past acquisitions of
territory, and would be a mistake from
a social, political and material stand
point. Williams' remarks received
careful attention, and several times drew
applause from his democratic col
leagues. 1
The agricultural appropriation .bill
was passed without material amend
ment. It carried $3,696,322, or $187,120
more than the current law.
In the senate the house resolution pio
viding to adjourn congress from Decern
ber 2lst to January 4th, was adopted
without division.
Gallinger favorably reported Proctor'i
resolution providing for a commission of
senators to visit Cuba and Porto Rico,
with a view to ascertaining the condi
tion of the islands and reporting it with
recommendations to the senate, but
upon Hale's objection to present con
eideration the resolution was placed on
the calendar. On motion of Hoar, it
was ordered that on February 22d, im
mediately after the senate convenes,
Washington's farewell address be read
by Senator Wolcott.
A bill to extend the t ime for construc
tion of a bridge 4 across the Columbia
river between Oregon and Washington
by the Oregon & Washington Bridge
Company was paseed.

party set out with light outfits. It was
storming very hard when they crossed

forced them to camp, although it was

While encamped there tons of ice and
snow, mixed with rocks and timber,
swept over them, evidently without
warning, and went on down the valley.
