The Week at Washington.
Congress reconvened again after the
holiday adjournment on January 5
One of tho first proceedings in the
senate on that date was a discussion
regarding the coal situation, two bills
and two resolutions bearing on this
subject being introduced.
On January 5 it was announced that
the United States supreme coup
speaking through Chief Justice Fill lor
announced the substitution of tre
namo of Admiral Henry C. Taylor for
(hat ot Admiral Sampson in the prize
money case instituted by Admiral
Sampson, in behalf of himself and
other officers and sailors who partici
pated in the naval battle of Santiago
July 3, 1898. Explaining his selec
tion, the chief justice said:
"Rear Admiral Evans, Rear Admiral
Taylor, Captain F. E. Chadwick and
others are represented in the litiga
tion by counsel, but Admiral Schley
and others are not Of those so rep
resented Admiral Evans is absent on
a foreign station, while Rear Admiral
Taylor is within the jurisdiction. It
seems to us that the substitution of
Rear Admiral Taylor will meet the
exigency satisfactorily, and it will be
ordered accordingly."
Another opinion handed down by
tho court on the same day relates to a
case involving the rate paid by the
Russian government on sugar export
ed. The court interprets this as be
ing a bounty and justifies the action
of the collector ot customs at Balti
more in levying a countervailing duty
on Russian sugar under the terms of
the Dingley law.
Several diplomatic changes wore re
cently announced. Dr. David Jayne
Hill, first assistant secretary of state
will relinquish that post this month
to become United States minister to
Switzerland. Ho will be succeeded as
first assistant by Francis B. Loomis
at present United States minister to
Portugal. Mr. Loomis will bo suc
ceeded at Lisbon by Charles Page
Bryan, who has been confirmed as
minister to Switzerland, but will not
take that post.
On January 6 Senator Hoar made a
speech on his bill regulating trusts
in the senate, also Senator Vest was
heard on the subject of protected in
dustries through the operation of tho
Dingley bill. Senator Hoar's speech
was listened to with marked atten
tion. He pointed out the chief evils
of the trusts as they nowoxist in this
First Destruction of competition.
Second The management of local
industries by absentees in the interest
of absentee capital.
Third Destruction of local public
spirit. , ,x ,. ,.
Fou tlh Fraudulent capitalization.
"Fifth Secrecy. . .
Sixth Management for the privar.-3
benefit of tho officials.
Seventh Tho power to corrupt elec
tions and in some cases to corrup:
the courts. m .
Eighth The want of personal re
sponsibility to public sentiment.
Ninth The absence of personal La
bility for contracts.
Tenth The holding of vast proper
ties in mortmain in the head hand--if
we may use tho ancient phrase of
he English. But it has life enough
for all purposes of power to serve
the will that wields it. It is dead only
to the influence of any nerve which
comes from tho brain or heart of the
people
On January 0 lt a house passed the
bill for the creation of a general I staff

Plans for the national defense and

we undoubtedly have a much finer lot
this year. Wo have sows In this sale

are 2nd Chief Perfection, a first prize
and sweepstakes boar, considered to

Wilkes, the boar that won second prize
at the world's fair and weighed 1,000
pounds. This hog is very large a"d
never sired a spotted pig, and meas

We are not scalpers. Our stuff in our
sale are all bred by us. We have 100
sows for this season's trade and sell 50
of them in our January sale and 50
more later on. We sold 49 boars of
spring farrow, the average being $30.
This is without culling or castrating
one pig and this is the kind of stuff we
are going to sell in our public sale.
We sold pigs to head the herds of the
most particular breeders in the state.
We shipped pigs into five different
states and in eight years we never hai
one dissatisfied customer, or, if so, we
failed to hear of It. We sold a boar
to head the Tally Ho herd of Mr. I.
A. Benson, one of the expert judges
and a breeder of years of experience
and a field man for the American
Swineherd. We also shipped a herd
header to Mr. Whitney of Akron, I.
We believe the Poland-China is tho
best and greatest hog on earth and
will try and show to you in ati article
some time later that the Poland-China
is king oftho hog world. tttwt
