Are you open to conviction ? If so , con
sider candidly our machine. Don't repeat to
yourself what is told you. Investigate , and
your own opinion , will be of some value. Rep
resentations easily fall into misrepresenta
tions. If you wish expert opinion do not con
sult interested competitors. If you are a pros
pective purchaser note carefully the following :
Minimum of friction is obtained by ball bear
ings. Our carriage runs on ball bearings. Un
iformity of action is secured by the rocker
shaft motion. We have adopted the rocker
shaft principle in our machine. Wide journal
bearings secure the least possible vibration.
We have adopted such a bearing and secured
permanent alignment. A duplex motion cov
ers a wider area. We have a duplex ribbon
movement. A guantity of identical objects
may be traced the same as one individual. Our
rotary type brush cleans all the type at once
in ten seconds , without soiling the
fingers. Mechanical action should on the part
of the individual become as far as possible au
tomatic. When this is wanting supply it by
devices. By our automatic locking device the
operator does not and cannot make further
impressions when the end of the line is reached.
No temporary change should be made that
cannot readily be reversed. Our marginal stop
can be securely and -rapidly set and as rapidly
replaced. It can also be overreached the
simplest and easiest of contrivances arid re
marks written in the margin. Interchange
able parts in any mechanism is important
point. Our platens can be removed and re
placed by simply lifting the platen from its po
sition.
In conclusion , our machine is a modern in
strument , built on modern principles , which
are used in other important branches of me
chanics and accepted among mechanicians ,
electricians and engineers. Principles of mo
tion arid construction good in one mechanism
is good in another. If not , why not ? .

WASHINGTON , 1) . C. , Jan. 10. The popular
movement for the election of United States
senators by vote of the poon'o ' is destined
to boone of the most important subjects dis
cussed by the Fifty-second congress. It
scorns llkoly to bo the ono great subject of
national Interest upon which party lines are
not to bo drawn , and from this fact the advo
cates ot the proposed reform derive great
encouragement of ultimate success. Sena
tor Palmer of Illinois , who has long stood ns
.ho exponent of this popular principle in the
west , and who ascribes his election' solely to
the favor with which the people of Illinois
received the now theory , will take charge of
the reform movement in the senate , while
Kopicsontntlvo Johnson , the republican rep
resentative from North Dakota , will bo the
most aggrcslvo'ndvocatoo'f the constitutional
amendment In the house. In Representa
tives Bryan of Nebraska , Enloo of Tonncs-
600 , Springer of Illinois , and Millar of Wis
consin , ho will have warm co-operation , butte
to Representative Johnson , will probably
bo conceded the leadership of the new
movement , because of ills oft-repeated asser
tions that to a violation of that principle was
solely duo his defeat in the memorable sena
torial contest In thu state ot North Dakota.
The house committee on thu election ot
president , vice president and representatives
In congress , nt n meeting today , gave special
attention to the various propositions for a
constitutional amendment providing for the
election of Unites Stacos senators by direct
vote of the people of tbo respective states.
Tbo committee was addressed by Represen
tatives Mlllor of Wisconsin , Bryan of Ne
braska , 10 n lee of Tennessee nnd Johnson of
North Dakota , nil of whom have propositions
of tilts kind pending before the commlttco.
Miller's Noi el Plan.
The Joint resolution which Mr. Miller
tirgod propose * a constitutional amendment
giving ono United Status senator to each
ktnto , primarily , und an additional senator
for oauh 1,000,000 Inhabitants , all to ba
elected directly by tlio people. Of course
this would work n very radical change in the
compokltlan of the United States senate , but
Mr. Miller contended that the smaller states
had a dlsporllonatuiv lurgo representation In
the sonata und that his scheme would sccuro
U morn equitable rnprcsontution.
The other three speakers directed their
arguments generally to the broad question
ofthnai. Isabllity of electing senators by
direct vo.o of the people rather than by the
present methods , and then moro spoclllcnlly
to thn points in favor of the means proposed
by thorn to bring this about. They said that
tha present method enabled men to bo elected
to the senate who could not bo elected by n
popular vote and who did not rolloct the
sentiments of their people. Corporate inllti
encos , It was urged , woio too potent factors
in the- election of senators by the legisla
ture. ] . Attention wqs called to the fre
quency of charges of corruption and bribery
) nrulo during and .subsequent to elections of
United Stales senators ,
llrjau lllnVrs with the Others
The three constitutional amendments" of
fered by Mwsrs , Bryan of Nebraska , Enloo
of Tcnnoisoo and Johnson of North Dakota
differ In this that Mr. Bryan's amendment
l.roposcs that senators shall bo elected by
direct vote only in such states us , through
their proper legislative machinery , uoulde to
elect icnatori In this manner , while Messrs.
10 n I oo and Johnson propose that the now
method shall bo compulsory AS to all states
nil the adoption of thu proposed amendments.
Mr. Bryan said thnt the argument In favor
of the adoption of bis amendment was thnt
the prospects of its adoption wcro greater
than if it made a change compulsory.
Mr. Enloo argued that if it were a good
thing to elect senator.by direct vote in ono
state it was certainly a good thing to elect
thorn in this manner in all the status.
The argument of Mr. Johnson was most
sensational because it contained much of his
personal experience. lie stated that , ho was
the republican caucus nominee for Unitcrt
States senator at the last senatorial election
in his state , but ho was defeated by a corrunt
combination. It might bo only a limited
vlow to tauo of the question baforo the coin
mittee , but his experience would Illustrate
the argument. Ho had secured the party
caucus nomination fairly , and as his party
was in a majority in the state legislature , ho
felt confident of election.
Corrupt Corporation Tnlluence.
lie was approached , ho said , by the
attorney of a railroad corporation and told
that to make his election certain it was
necessary that ho give an assurance that ho
would favor n certain man as judge for that
district. Thu attorney said that tbo railroad
had secured the election of seven or eight
members of the legislature nnd controlled
their votes. If ho would glva the
assurance desired he would bo elected
without a doubt. Mr. Johnson said
that ho did not consider it honorable to
enter into a bargain of that sort , declined to
glvo tbo assurance askod. and the result was
that ho was defeated. Yet at that time ho
was tbo acknowledged choice of the people of
his state for United States senator , as well
as the choice of his party , and would been
elected but for the people's will being
thwarted by rcrrupt corporate Inlluoncos.
Tha committed adjourned until next week ,
when Mr. Springer pf Illinois wilt make an
argument In favor of the same proposition.
It Is the belief of the authors of tbo various
resolutions that n majority of the commlttoo
U in favor of reporting ono of the proposi
tions back to llio house with the recommend
ation that it bo adopted.
( 'Imrrli ol tin' Cincniinl Damaged ,
While Dr. Ilamlln , the pastor of the
Church of the Covenant , was engaged in his
study In the church this afternoon , ho
noticed a smell of smoke coming apparently
from the basement of the chapel immediately
adjoining the church in the roar. lie made a
hurried investigation , found that lira had
broken out in thu basement and gnvo the
alarm. A general lira alarm wns then
turned In , to which the entire tire department
responded promptly. It was soon nscortninad
that the Ilnmes had started in n room in
which is located u gas engine. The ( lames
bnroad rapidly ana It was not long boioro
they had worked tbolr way un to the second
lloor and Ignited the wood work in the largo
Sunday school room. Thence the tire progressed -
grossed upward , nnd soon tlio colling and
roof of the chapel were burning , but attar an
hour's vigorous worlt the flro was gotten
under control. Although tha outiro interior of
tha chapel was gutted It Is believed the damage -
ago will not exceed (10,000. The auditorium
of tbo church MI tiered UtUuorno damage
except from sinoko. The Church of the
Covenant is attended by many of the high
government olllclals and prominent residents
of Washington. The president nnd Mrs.
Harrison have also made it tholr church
homo. Duiing the flrn the streets nnd door
stops in the vicinity wore crowded with
people. Tlie.su included the president und
vlca president , who witnessed the progress
of the lira Irom a position of advantage near
the burning church.
This is tba second time in three years that
the Church of the Covenant has suffered
misfortune. In JbS'J the largo front tower ,
than in process of construction , suddenly
collapsed. The loss sustained by that acci
dent was about . ' 0,000. ,
I'roiiuiud Cli.niKcn of ICilli-n ,
Tbo democratic members of the appropri
ations committee and the speaker had a con
ference on the subject of u coda of rules for
the Fifty-second cong''r.ss today at tbo rooms
of Speaker Crisp. Ono change In the
rules under consideration , having In view
the chdcliing of filibustering tactics , socks
the abolition of the practice of defeating
measures on "suspension Monday" ( as the
day on which hills may bo passed by a two-
thirds vote is known ) , by introducing long
bills and culling for tholr reading In full , the
purpose being of course to consume the day
with the introduction of bills. Another pro
posed modification is tha adoption nt tbo
Reed rule consttuitmjj 100 a quorum of tbo
commlttoo of the whole , but It Is nn open
question whether or not thl change will bo
recommended. There will ba t > onia defini
tion of what uiouous shnll bo considered
dilatory motions. The practice of counting a
quorum will of course Und no place in the
now rules , l atcr in the day the democratic
mombor.s of the rules committee also had a

Mr. John ICnox , assistant manager of the
Cudaby Packing company , acknowledges
that the report of a concerted movement
among the Missouri river packers 'to see
that Chicago packers do not get batter rates
in proportion than these on the Big Muddy
is truo. The other packers acknowledge
ICnox as the leader in tbo movement , and
the following talk by him is therefore sig
nificant :
"It is a great mistake to say that wo are
fighting Chicago or Chicago packers. Wo
are doing nothing of the kind. Wo nro
simply asking that the Missouri river packers ,
which Include Omaha , Sioux City. Kansas
City , Nebraska City , Wichita and other
points , shall have a fair show with Chicago
in proportion to her dbtanco to western
points. To points cast we pay CO per cent
moro freight than Chicago packers nnd 15
per cent more than Mississippi river packers
do and wo pay the same without any objec
tion , as it is fair to do so.
"But whan it comes to shipping to western
points Chicago gets tbo same rates that wo
do. Wo have just reason to object to this.
The Chicago packers should pay ns much
moro in proportion to points west as wo pay
in proportion to points oast. Therefore at
the mooting of the Transmissourl Froigh !
association on January i4 ! wo will ask that
the rates for thn Chicago packers for ship
ments westward ho Increased In n proper
ratio. Wo nro asking for no reduction for
ourselves , and our request is surely rea
sonable.
"Wo regret very much that our plans have
boon prematurely announced , but hope it
will not antagonize our Interests.
"As to the Intention of our packers to do-
innndthr.t the Interstate commission be in
creased two moro memocrs I know nothing.
Nona of the packers that I have motor
talked to have over mentionedanythmgabout
this matter. "

WASHINGTON ; D. C. , Jan. 10. Tlio reported
preparations of the Chilian government for
\vnr , though lacking olllclal confirmation in
nil details ns yet , are viewed with clcop con
cern at the Navy department. The Navy
department was In constant telegraphic com
munication with the navy yards and naval
stations In all parts of the country for sev
eral hours last night.
In pursuance of a long established custom
the live member * of the house committee on
foreign affairs called at the Department of
State today and j hl their respects to Secre
tary Blatne. It was expected that the
strained relations between this country and
Chili would bo touched upon by the secretary.
Secretary Blnluo did not make a single direct
allusion to the relations with Chili. Ho did
not call to their attention the necessity for
speedy action by congress upon the Nicara
gua canal project and the great ndv.ititaBC
such a connection between the two oceau >
would bb in time of war.
It cannot bo lorn-nod that any communica
tions passed this morning botwcon the Statu
department and Minister Kan , nor was the
Chilian minister at the department.
Members of congress are awaiting with
considerable interest the publication ot the
Chilian correspondence. The members of the
house foreign affairs committeehavo followed
the matter cloioly , hut generally with llltlo
to guide thoni In forming conclusions except
the publications in the newspapers.
l.'Apcct mipiilngy Inn ! Arlillratlnn.
There is a bollof entertained by some mem
bers who have watched ttio developments
with nioro than ordinary closemoss and Inter
est that a-peaceful solution of the trouble
will bo Jon ml , and thit whllo ttio situation is
grave , war will not result , It is understood
that the position1 assumed by the United
States is that ifn 'npology must bo
maao by Chill 'aitd ' that there will
then follow the question of Indemnity to thn
Bailers lujuro.l In the attack in the citv uf
Valparaiso , and fa tlm kin of those killed in
that attack. It 14 believed by many repre
sentatives that Chili will acknowledge the
wrong dona the United States by making aa
apology , und that the reason for her delay 1"
this iv.-pect is to ho found in the dhpropo1'-
tlon in the strength ot the two countries.I1
is expected that'Chill ' , nfter assorting her
dignity by a sufficient delay to show that ,
though on unequal1 combatant In the event
of war , duo will mane the amends duo to the
United States. Then will arlso the question
of Indemnity , and arbitration is lookoj for
ward to as the probable outcome of this phase
of the case. It ID pointed out by members
who tiavo maiio a study of diplomaticutTnlrs
that ( an npologv having previously been
made ) thin would not bo an arbitration of n
nuasllon of honor , but merely a settlement of
damages to bo awarded.
History , it is said , is full of instances of a
resort to arbitration In cases where the
previous utterances or actions of nations had
apparently estopped them from Invoking this
molhod or settling disputes , and of uasas in
which , where nations themselves would not
take the inltlatlvo in proposing arbitration ,
they had acquiesced In the suggestions of n
frlemily third power that arbitration take
the plaeo of bloodbhed us n moans of settling
thodUputo. Homo lear Is entertained that
Chill , in assorting her indopondimco and
freedom from outside pros9tiro , may by pro
crastlnatlon bring about a state of things
which will terminate In n rupture of ro
tations between tbo two countries , and that
hostilities may ensue , although this latter is
regarded as unlikely and Improbable.
Chilians Are Vtry .Sonslllvc.
The members who express themselves in
this pacific manner also intimate very plalnlv ,
however , time they will not bo backward in
upholding tbo administration insteps neces
sary to a maiutouancoof national dignity and
self rcspoct. One senator called attention to
the intense national pride of the Chilian
people n < < accounting for the delay In the
govern ment making reparation. JIo said
that 1'rnstdent Monlt was in a position besot
with difficulties. No doubt his disposition
was to make amends for the Baltimore out
rage , out to do so without cautiously leading
his people to bellovo that ho was not sacri
ficing the national dignity would bring down
upon hit administration the wrath of the ox-
cltablo and sensitive people , and might causa
another revolution.
"Thoy have to talk to the galleries down
there Just as wo do here , " said the senator.
In this connection ho related the fact that a
president of the UnltcO States had imulo
himself very unpopular with n certain over
sensitive class of people by making an apol
ogy to Great Britain for the seizure of Mason
and Slldnll , although sober second thought
justified the propriety of his action.
"So 11 Is , " said he , "that President Montfc
probably has before his eyes tbo
resentment ho must encounter when
ho tenders an apology to the
United States , and is merely taking such
time us is necessary to reason this sensitive
oloinont of his people into line with his pro
posed npology. "
War Di'imrl inriit AH Quiet.
Diligent inquiry at the War department
falls to disclo-io any warlike preparations on
the part of the army. Men are at work on
the fortifications around San Francisco , but
this work was begun last spring before there
wore any suggustions of n war with Chill.
For the comfort cf the Californians ,
who have been represented ns dofor.coless ,
it may ho stated on the authority
of tbo ordnance ofllcors that the Golden Gnto
is defended by some 15 inch guns which ,
though smooth bores , are yet most formida
ble'weapons. Experiments nmd.o at Sandy
Hook with guns of this typo have shown that
the powder charge may bo largelv Increased
as compared with what wcro considered safe
charges during the war. Improvements In
slow burning powder * have nrndo this possi
ble , und now the l.Vlneh.smooth boivs with .1
charge oT lao pounds of powder will throw a
projoutllo weighing -150 pounds n distance of
nearly four miles. At 1,000 yards the usual
naval lighting distance-this heavy shot will
penetrate ton inches of armor , and the Chili
ans have as yet no vessel that could with'
stand such uroloctilos
An Old Ural ultli ( 'hill UlKco\ore.d.
A curious outcome of the present ngltntion
was the publication today by the War depart
ment ot a convention framed ns long ago as
1SW to which the United States and Chill
hava slnco slgnitlnd tholr adhesion. In view
of the allegations that have been made to the
effect that the Chilians practice Inhuman
barbnritlos In war , such as massacring pris
oners and wounded men , und mutilating
dead bodlos , U may bo roasburliiM to our
soldiers to know that thi Is a convention
"for the amelioration of the wounded In
armies in the Held. " By some oversight the
convention wns never buforo ofllclally pub
lished. It guarantees the neutrality nnd
protection ot ambulance and hospital corps ,
and provides that wounded or sick soldiers
shall bo talien care of without regard to
nationality. It also contains ample provis
ions for the aurconng of wounded or wrecked
sailors , nnd in brief throws around the com
batants every possible gunrantco of humane
treatment In the event of tholr being wounded
or captured.

WASHINGTON , I ) . C. , Jan. 10. I
In an Interview today between Senator
I'addock and Prof. H. W. Wiley , government
chemist , regarding the press reports of No-
urask& papers on the analysis ot boots in
Nebraska , the professor said : "Sixty sam
ples of beets were received nt the laboratory
hero from farmers In Nebraska , representing
twenty-Kino counties. The average percent
age of sugar found in the boots , when
averaged by counties , wns 11.-14 , nnd the
average weight of the beets was thirty-four
ounces.
' 'Tho typical sugar boots should weigh only
about eighteen or twenty ounces. Many of
these sent weighed from forty to sixty
ounces. When beets become overgrown , a's
these wore in the samples Rent , they tend to
lose In sugar contents. Some of the beets
weighing from lifty to aixtv ounces devel
oped but from 7 to S per cent suijar , while
nearly all the bouts ar.nl.vzcil weighing but
from eighteen to twenty ounces developed
from II to 1'J ' per cent sugar. The samples
sent from Box liutte county averaged about
Is per cent.
Snrill llcots Are I'rerernlilc.
"As the majority of samples sent were of
the overgrown varieties , the avorngo has
boon brought down to 11.-II. It Is qulto dlfll-
cult , however , to impress farmers who are
not familiar with the subject , with the fact
that It ls not the largo uoots which represent
the highest sugar contents. A number of
packages or sugar boot seed were s.unt to the
tamers In various parln of the state nt their
request. With theao package * full instruc
tions were sent lor the culture ot the beets ,
together with u description of the method ol
taking Humpies und Bunding them for an
alysis.
In spite of the plain direction to the contrary -
trary , it is evident that the farmers sent the
largest , of their beets Instead of these weigh
ing about ono pound , as they were instructed
to do. As you know , the secretary of ngrl-
culturu established u boot sugar culture sta
tion at Scuuyler , Nob. , for the purpose of
Illustrating by the best approved methods
of agriculture , the possibilities of the growth
of sugar boots In that part of the stato. The
results obtained here were much more satis
factory.
Instructions \Vurn Ignored.
"Tno average yield per acre at the stutlon
was iil.7 tons and the average contonti of
sugar In the beet 1.8 ! ) per cent. In tonnage-
this viold is about the average In Germany ,
and In sugar contents almost equal to It. The
rosuitt which wo have obtained by the dis
tributing of boot sugar seed to farmers with
Instructions for culture nnd for sending sam
ples for analysis have proved so unsatlsfae-
lory that It Is prob.iblo the work will bo dls-
continued. It is qulto Impossible to secure
compliance with instructions , and therefore
the data obtained does not correctly represent
sent tha possibilities of sugar beoi culture In
the several localities.
"Tho only practical method Is the actual
result * ot culture for the factories under
competent iuporvUion and the results ob

the subject tobacco culture in Nebraska
