fraudulent investment companies. He
advocated the maximum freight bill,
additional powers to the railroad com

CONGRESSIONAL
An Exciting Round in House,
Johnson Replied to Maguire in a
Sensational Speech; "
WAR IN CONGRESS.
Washington, Jan. 13. Little In
terest was manifest In the. house In
the decision of the point or order
made yesterday by Dockcry, of Mis
souri, against Powers' motion to re
commit the Pacific funding bill made
after the reading of the Journal tho
spoaker sustained the point of order
and the bill will not be recommitted.
The bill to better define and regu-
latehe rights of aliens to own real
estate in territories was passed. On
motion of Hartman of Montana, a bill
was passed to amend the law relative
to making affidavits In the entry of
public lands so as to permit applicants
to appear before the land office regis
ters by deposlton and also to place tho
burden of proof of undisputed ques
tions as to the classification of mineral
and agricultural lands upon the agri
cultural claimant.
Bossleus of Pennsylvania, from the
committee of reform on civil service,
called up the bill to amend the law
giving preference In the matter of ap
pointments to Union boldlers, dis
charged on account of wounds or
sickness created In service, so as to
create another preference class to in
clude ex-Union soldiers and sailors for
their widows. After some debate the
bill was passed.
While the bill was being debated a
storm was brewing. It was apparent
there was to be an echo of tho Pacific
railway funding bill debate as a sequel
to tho sensational attack made by
Johnson on Editor Hearst last Friday.
Maguire, of California, printed in the
Becord this morning in connection
with his remarks on tho bill some
caustic comments .on Johnson's
speech.
When Maguire entered Johnson
asked the speaker if it would bo in
order for him to rise to a question of
personal privilege. Being informed
that he could do so as -soon as the
pending bill was out of tho way he
bided his time. When the bill was
passed, the California member impet-
ously arose.
"If the gentleman from Wisconsin,
(Cooper), or the gentleman from Cali
fornia, (Maguire), thinks 1 am
cowardly let either repeat to me out
side the chamber what ho said inside
and their curosity will bo appeased."
Maguire rose to reply as soon as
Johnson bad finished.'
"I never printed anywhere any
thing I was not willing to repeat be
fore any man myself," he began. He
explained that he -bad desired to de
liver the speech printed in the Becord
but tho speaker had refused to giyo
him time.
After Maguire concluded, Poole of
New Hampshire moved to expunge
Magulre's speech from the record.
Poole said he had known Johnson
from childhood. There was great
excitement on the floor and a per
sonal colllson was feared. Friends
tried to adjust the matter. Mc Millen
moved to refer the whole matter to
the committee on rules. On a ylva
voce vote the motion was defeated'
52 to 87. A rollcall was demanded and
obtained. Mc Mlllen'a motion was
lost, 68 to 123. Poole's motion to ex
punge' was then carried without a di
vision. Towne of Minnesota moved
to strike from the record that portion
of Johnson's remarks containing the
attack on Hearst. Defeated; ayes,82;
noes, 94.

In
In trie forty Methodist
missions of South Africa
Royal Baking Powder is
used exclusively. Rev.
Ross Taylor, agent for
these missions, says that
after a trial of others the
Royal is found to be tlic
only baking powder that
will maintain its strength
and efficiency, that can
be relied upon to make
perfect food, or that can
be economically used in
that climate.
This fact is most sig
nificant. It shows that
the Royal is the only
perfectly made po.wder.
If the other powders were
as pure, as strong, and as
scientifically made as the
Royal, they would do
equal service everywhere.
ThereMs the same dif
ference between the
Royal and the other
powders when sold at
home as shown by their
use in Africa. It is
simply made conspicu
ous by the climatic con-t
ditions and the methods
of use prevailing in that
country.
The inferiority of the
other powders results
from low-grade, impure
ingredients improperly
combined, which cause
unwholesome and in
ferior food.
The Royal Powder
only will give uniform
results in perfect foods,
and prove of the greatest
economy in the saving
of flour, butter, and other
articles used in their prc
duction. , .p-tfts-J
