Senator Sherman’s Bond Blll.
Nearly everbody in Congress has ap-
parently got a bill in his pocket provid
ing an infallible remedy for the cur-
rency trouble and the deficiency of the
revenue; but as there is not a Demo-
cratic majority when it comes to finan-
cial legislation, and as the Republicans
desire. to utilize the national trouble to
prejudice their party opponents, it is
unlikely that any of those bills will
lead to more than talk. But Congress
should certainly fullfil the simple obli-
gation of providing a source of reve-
nue, and for this purpose the plain
and simple little bill introduced by
Senator Sherman Would be effective
and satisfactory. It provides for a
popular loan in small bonds at 3 per
cent interest, the bonds to be sold at
the post ofiices directly to the people.
It. is an ideal way for raising money in
a Country where the people have faith
in the Government. ,

SABIE OLD 5'1““. RY.
The Japanese Captured hung-Chung tVith
Scarcely Any Effort.
SHANGHAI, Jan. 25.—The Japanese
transport Sabuma—Maru, which has re-
turned to Ujina, reports that she left the
gulf of Talienwan on Saturday last. Jan.
19, with other Japanese transports, escort-
ed by warships, and arrived off Yung-
Chang. not far from 'Wci-Hai-‘il'ci, the Chi-
nese War port on the Shangrung penin-
sula, at daybreak on Sunday, J on. 20.
The Yayeyama and OiliO?‘ Japanese war-
ships thcn landed detachment-s of marines.
The latter met with but feeble resistance
from the Chinese troops. who were sup-
ported by fonr guns mounted ashore. The
fire of ‘these guns was answered from the
Japanese boats, and the Chinese were
eventually dispersed when the guns of the
Japanese warships opened fire upon them.
The Japanese landing was effected with-
out any loss being sustained by the invad-
ers, and the four guns previously men-
tioned were captured by the marines land-
ed from the Yaycyama. Immediately after- ,
ward the landing of the Japanese troops
commenced and was nearly completed
when the Sabuma-Maru left Yung-Chang
on Monday last, the weather having been
favorable to the Japanese operations.
Two English women, one German wom-
an and one Chinese woman, who were
found in charge of the Shangtung light-
house, were placed under the same pay as
they had been receiving and were instruct-
ed in the interests of commercial and other
traffic at sea to keep the light burning as
usual.

DISGRUNTLED COAL DIINERS.
St. Louis Men Claim That Owners Have
Broken Agreements.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 25.-—-At a largely at-
tended meeting Of coal miners at Bella
ville. 1113., called 'to decided whether to
organize a general strike throughout that
district. the conservative clement pre-
vailed, and the men will remain at work.
The grievance of the men is that the 4-0
cents a. ton agreement, made after the long
strike last summer, has been broken by
several of the smaller operators, and 30
cents, and as low as 25 cents, is being
paid and accepted. At these rates full
time is not made. and the complaint is
made that some of the men do not average
$25 a month, or barely enough to support
their families. Not only are the individual
miners still suffering from the prolonged
strike of last summer, the low wages and
irregular time having rendered it impos-
sible for them to save any money, but it is
understood that there is no money in the
treasury of the organization to support
them in a. strike.

spector. Parker shrugged his shoulders.
“One has to have an assistant to do clever
work, ” he replied.

Bitiable to behold; be
ad no peace andbut
little rest night or day.
He , was under treat-
ment at different times
at two hospitals and by
seven doctors in this
City without the least
benefit; every pre-
scription of the doctors
was faithfully tried,
but he grew worse all
the time. For months
I expended about s3_ per week for medicines,
and was entirely discouraged. I purchased
CUTICURA, CUTICURA SOAP, and CUTICURA
RESOLVENT, and followed the directions to the
letter. Relief was immediate,his suferings were
eased, and rest and sleep permitted. He steadily
improved and in nine weeks was entirely cured,
and has now as clear a skin and is as fair 3. boy
as any mother .ouldwish to see. I recommend
every mother to use it for every Baby Humor.
