Companies Ready With OfZrs Other Wuslilugtou Matters WASHINGTON Jan 13 The effect of wireless telegraphy on the future of the submarine cable was developed to some extent in the house commit tee on commerce in connection with the hearing on the proposed Pacific cable The hearing was largely at tended Vice President Ward of the Pacific Commercial Cable company continuing his statement said he be lieved the company he represented would be able to make exclusive traf fic arrangements from points beyond the Philippines and connecting with China and Japan He- maintained that while there was no purpose to set up a monopoly yet it was likely his company would have exclusive traffic arrangements with the far east He also stated that there would be questions as to the right of the United States to land a cable on foreign shores Representa tive Stewart of New Jersey interposed the statement that Germanys pres ent course against Venezuela showed that the German government made little distinction between public and private rights so that a government cable station would have about the same status as a private station Chairman Hepburn asked a series of questions as to the effect of wireless telegraphy on the submarine cable Mr Ward replied that the new sys tem presented a serious question He was not certain that the Pacific cable project would have been undertaken if the long distance experiment had occurred earlier As to the claims that wireless signals had been conveyed 2000 miles across the Atlantic Mr Ward said that if the claims were made good they would deter people from laying any more cables When asked as to the effect thus far on the cable business Mr Ward said that it had depressed cable in terests Mr Stewart wanted to know if the cable companies had not chased Marconi out of Canada to which Mr Ward answered that he believed the cable companies had insisted upon certain exclusive rights they held James Foord stated that the Asiatic association doing business in the Orient favored private control It was opposed to the government entering the field of private enterprise Presi dent Scrymser of the South and Cen tral American cable system made an extended argument favorable to gov ernment control of the Pacific cable citing incidents of the Spanish-American war showing the importance of governmental control of the cable In one case cited the Spanish minister of marine cabled Admiral Cervera to leave Santiago If this dispatch had not been intercepted Mr Scrymser said the battle of Santiago bay would not have been fought and the con duct of the war might have been changed Thomas E Hughes representing an American company which produces cable stated that as good cables could be made in the United States as in an other partof the world and he asked that American capital have the advantage of doing the work ASKS PRESIDENT TO INTERFERE Urged that He Prevent Shipment of Ainori an Supplies CHICAGO Jan 13 The Chicago branch of the American Transvaal league met here tonight and adopted a petition calling on President Roose velt to enforce the neutrality law A large number of signatures of promi nent men judges lawyers and others was obtained The petition is in the form of an argument and sets forth that the Uni ted States is conceded to be a neutral nation in the war between England and the South African republics It is contended that if the augmenta tion of Great Britains military sup plies from the port of New Orleans were stopped the South African war would come to a speedy end It is an nounced that horses and mules de signed for use of military operations are within the meaning of the mili tary supplies as used in the treaty of Washington The president is therefore called upon to strictly enforce article 6 of that treaty Nebraska is Confirmed ST LOUIS Jan 13 Announcement was made at the worlds fair head quarters that Frederic W Taylors appointment to the positions of chief of agriculture and acting chief of hor

representatives aside from the Nicar aguan bill is still in the committee stage so that there is little of im portance to be considered during the coming week Monday will be given to bills affecting the District of Colum bia After that the pension appropri ation bills will be passed Although this measure carries about 139000000 it follows the department estimates and does not involve any serious is sues so that after a brief explanation its passage usually follows promptly The ways and means committee has a few minor bills on the calendar for the redemption of revenue stamps made worthless by the repeal of cer tain features of the war revenue act With the disposal of these bills there will be little to engage the attention of the house and there promises to be several periods of

Return of the Hammond Packing Com pany to the Mnglc City OMAHA Neb Jan 13 There is a very agreeable report current in South Omaha to the effect that the Ham mond Packing company which sum marily abandoned its South Omaha plant something over a year ago and removed its men and its business to its plant at Hammond Ind and St Joseph has come back to South Om aha to stay After it pulled out of South Omaha its plant there was al lowed to fall into a state of desolate ruin but when the plant at Ham mond was burned during the past summer it returned to South Omaha rehabilitated its old house and be gan killing there At that time it was emphatically stated by Manager A H Noyes that the return to South Omaha was merely temporary pend ing the rebuilding of the Hammond house There appears to be no ques tion however that South Omaha pos sesses merits as a stock mart that no packing concern can afford to ig nore and it is now said in South Omaha packing circles that the Ham mond officials have experienced a change of heart in consequence of which their reoccupancy of the South Omaha field will be permanent while the plant at Hammond will be aban doned NEBRASKA AND CUBAN SUGAR Senator Dietrich Opposes Kxtcntlltig Fa vor to the Ibland WASHINGTON Jan 13 Senator Dietrich is opposed not only to free raw sugar from Cuba but also to a large reduction in the duties levied by the Dingley tariff act upon raw sugar I do not believe he said that any general benefit to the Cuban peo ple would result from a reduction of the duty on Cuban sugar but that such benefits as would flow from such reduction would be reaped by the Su gar trust of this country and by a handful of Cuban planters I am also opposed to a rebate to the Cuban planters upon the sugars imported into this country because it would find its way into the hands of the Sugar trust which during the past season has been trying to destroy the beet sugar industry by selling sugar in localities where that industry is now established at prices below the cost of production IN CONDEMNED FELONS CELL Murderer Calm Notified of the Supreme Courts Decision LINCOLN Neb Jan 13 Warden Davis of the state penitentiary has removed

the murder of Herman Zahn in Snyder Neb January 4 1901 and fixing April 25 as the day of ex ecution Rhea based his claim for a reversal on the alleged insufficiency of evidence and the contention that

Cur or i Understand A Medical man as a rule dislikes to acknowledge tho value of a proprietary medicine in fact professional etl quettu debars him from doing so Yet there are many eminent physicians those most advanced in their profes sions who give full credit to tho great curative properties of Vogelers Cura tive Compound from tho fact that it Is manufactured by an old and reliable company proprietors of St Jacobs Oil from the formula of a brother physi cian who to day stands in tho front ranks of the mo3t eminent medical men in London and on account of its Intrin sic merit it is largely prescribed bj the medical profession but in the case which we are about to relate the at tending physician called it rubbish but as it turned out Mrs Nettleton tells the doctor that rubbish or not It saved her life Mrs Nettleton graphically relates tho particulars of her own case which will doubtless be of Interest to many of our lady readers I had been an intense sufferer for many years from dyspepsia liver and kidney troubles when a little pam phlet was placed In ray hands and although at that time I had been bed ridden for more than six months I determined after reading some of tho wonderful testimonials therein of cases similar to mine which had been com pletely cured by the timely use of Vo gelers Curativo Compound to try some especially as ray doctors failed to even benefit rae and I had almost given up all hope of ever being well again It Is most Interesting and in fact marvelous to relate that the very first dose of fifteen drops relieved me It was not long before I was able to get up and about three months from taking the first dose I was enjoying better health than I had been for four teen years I continued well until a faw months back when I was taken ill again my troubles being dyspepsia and constipation I had a doctor attending me for a nfonth but continued to grow worse until I again found myself bod ridden when I bethought myself of my old medicine Vogelers Curative Com pound which I immediately sent for and took in place of the doctors medi cine at that time I had not had a movement of the bowels for five days but Vogelers Curative Compound soon put me on my feet again in fact com pletely cured me a second time but of course this attack was not as bad as the first yet I fully believe I should not have been alive today had it not been for Vogelers Curative Compound If I had only thought to have taken It when my last illness took place I should not only have been saved much suffering but a 7f doctors bill Mrs Nettleton safc I have rcom mended Vogelers Curative Compound for indigestion and eczema and in ev ery case it has proved a cure beyond a doubt Mr Swinbank our chemist has sent me the names of no end of people who have been cured by Vogel ers Curative Compound By the way the proprietors have so much confi dence in this great London physicians discovery that they will send a sam ple free to any person sending name and address and naming this paper St Jacobs Oil Co 205 Clay Street Baltimore Md Mrs Nettleton is a confectioner in the Brighton Road where she has been established many years and is hon ored and respected by all classes Her statements 33 regards Vogelers Cura tive Compound may therefore be re garded as reliable evidence of its great value The public however may look upon this remarkable statement as one of the many which we are constantly receiving from grateful people all over the world who have been cured of various maladies by the use of this wonderful remedy which is the result of an eminent physicians life long experience These people are nearly always representative and vell known citizens What the Blind Man Saw Decided I J The only witness in a and battery tried the or - in Milwaukee
