GERMAN Y’S FEELINGS RUFFLED,
The Emperor Objects to Language
Used by Congressman Berry-
Washington, Jan. 18—Representa
tive Berry, of Kentucky, has gotten
himself mixed up with the German
emperor for his remarks regarding
Germany, made in his recent speech
on the navy personnel bill.
The Geiman ambassador, in an un
official way, called attention to the
state department today to the state
ment made on the floor of the house
last Thursday by Colonel Berry, that
“he believed in a stronger navy to pro
tect our newly acquired territory, but
that we would not be hurried by any
nation ou earlli, even if it involved the
fact that it would be necessary to whip
Germany as we did Spain.”
Simultaneously with the complaint
of Germany’s ambassador came dis
patches from Berlin to the effect that
the press is urging the emperor to de
maud an apology from this govern
ment for Colonel Berry’s remarks, and
in failing, to make it an international
complication ; that the home of th.e
reichstag should seek satisfaction
from the Kentuckian ; that Germany
will not permit herself to be insulted
in speech as Spain was.
Colonel Berry, in speaking of the
matter jaid: "I have greatest respect
for German, but I do not like atti
tude of the government or its empe
ror towards this country. I have no
reason to retract any statement that I
have made. If I had no fear of the
government, I certainly have no fear
of the individual,but should a mem
ber of the reichstag desire to call me
to account for my utterances as an
American citizen, I am willing to
treat the matter with him in any way
he may name. My postoflice address
is Newport, Ky ,”

missed and continued.
In the case of J N. Touchstone vs.
J F. Davis, a verdict was rendered in
favor of the defendant
Deafness Cannot be Oared
By local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition oi the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out ol ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

AGONCILLO FILES A PLEA-
Sets up Reasons Why Aguinaldo’s
Government Should Be Recognized.
Washington, Jan 19—Sjnor Felip
Agoncillo, the representative in Wash
ington of Aguinaldo, the Philippine
Lader, has filed with the state depart
ment a memorandum setting fourth
the reasons why the Philippine gov
ernment should be recognized, and
quoting American precedent at
length. Accompanying the memo
random is » letter to Secretary Hay,
saying that the former request filed
on Jan 6,asking that a time be al
pointed when he could be received,
bad not been replied to, and he now
urges that the secretary give the mat
ter his early attention, especially in
view of the strained position in which
the representatives of the Philippine
government now find themselves in
the island. The state department has
received the letter and the memoran*
dum as official documents, and while
the officials have refused to make
them public, they have expressed no
objection to Senor Agoncillo doing so
The memorandum recites at length
the political history of the Philippines
since their seizure by the Spanish
more than 300 years ago and says:
"1. American precept and example
have inflenced my people to desire
independent government.
“2. Suffering, as did the Americans,
from alien rule, they arose and drove
out foreign masters.
“3. They established and for seven
mouths have maintained a form of
government resembling the American,
in that it is based upon the right of
the people to rule. (
“4 This govprnment has, according
to doctrines laid down by distinguish
ed secretaries of state, become entitled
to recognition by the American repub
“5. They expelled the government ,
of Spain, which had at the time of the
treaty of peace possession of only one
port; the remainder of the Philippines,
except Manila, being in the possession
of the Philippine republic and al) in
signia of sovereignty, having passed
from Spain, that country could give
no title to the United States for the
Philippine Islands.
“6 Spain having no title to give,
her Claim cannot be 4 rendered better
by tbe ratification of the treaty of
peace.
“7. From the foregoing it would
seem to follow that the present recog
nition of the first republic of Asia by
the greatest republic of America would
be consonant with right, justice and
precedent
“I cannot close this memorandum
without 'aking occasion to assure you
of the gialitude felt by my country- >
men towards the Americans for the
assistance rendered them in the at
tainment of their liberties, and of
their strong desire in every way less
than their effacement as a nation to
give practical expression to this grati
tude, and further to hope that as self
respecting nations the bonds of friend
ship may grow stronger with the pat
sage of years. “Felipe Agonoillo."

COST OF THE WAB
1 Past Expenses Trifling Compared
With Future Demands-
1
A Washington estimate puts the
cost of the war at $250,000,000, reck
oning up to the end of the present
fiscal year, which will end on June 30,
1899 The estimate covers the expen
ditures already made and those which
are in prospect for six months to come.
It does no’, however, embrace the in
demnity of $20,000,000 to be paid to
Spain for the cession of the Philip
pines, nor does it make any allowance
for the expenditure on fortifications,
which may be required to put our new
possessions in a ccnditioj of immedi
ate defense. Even with the exclusion
of these items the estimate looks low.
We fancy that when a full and (air
account is made up at the end cf the
fiscal year the cost of the war will ba
found a great deal dost r $300,000,000
than $250,000,000.
But it is not over the startling cost
that Uncle Sam is called upon to- knit
bis brows. Os course a quarter of a
billion dollars is a sum which should
be taken into serious consideration by
a nation with as long a purse ae ours.
Yet if we could get rid of the matter
by one payment, and so have done
with it, there would bo little cause for
a wrinkled forehead. This, however,
cannot be done. The brief storm and
stress of the war with Spain is over.
Its immediate cost is in process of set
tlement. But there is a ground swell
of expenditures to be dealt with in a
future day, the end of which no man
is wise enough to see. On a moderate
computation an addition of $100,000,-
000 a year to our expenditures has
been entailed upon the country, and
there is great need of an economical
administration of our military and na
val expenditures to prevent the addi
tion from rising to more formidable
figures—Boston Herald.
The Deadly Grip
Is again abroad in the land. The air

germs’ Don’t neglect the 'Grip” or
you will open the door to Pneumonia
and Consumption and invite death
Its sure signs are chills with fever,
headache, dull heavy pains, mucous
discharges from the nose, sore throat
and never let go cough. Don’t waste
precious time treating this cough with
troches, tablets, or poor, cheap syrups.

To be a Racy Document,
When the war investigating com
mission was first named, the general
impression was that its final report
would “Whitewash” all of the promi
nent officials and especially Secretary
Alger and the war department says
the Columbus Enquirer. All of the
newspapers printed paragraphs about
tbe job of whitewashing, but as the
testimony developed more and more
rottenness each day, it gradually
dawned upon the officials and the
public that the commission could not
avoid censuring many of the officials.
In a week or ten days the full report
of tbe commission will delivered to
President McKinley.
A wel'-‘.nformed Washington cor
respondent is auth jrity for tbe state
ment that tbe repoit will not be a
whitewash of the army administration.
Secretary Alger will fie described as
“weak in administering the affairs of
the department, and es; eci illy so in
bis dealings with Gen. Miles. The
responsibility for camp horror? will be
charged to subordinate officers and
not to Gen Miles. Gan. Shafter, Gen.
Miles and Gen. Brooke will all
be “blamed” in the report for alleged
mistakes and c !K‘fß| which will be
fully set forth
The medical department will be se
verely condemned and congress will
be “blamed,” for not making nn ap
propriation for smokeless powder. If
the correspondent is correct in his
statements, the report of the commis
sion will be a racy document and one
that will make a genuine sensation in
army and official circles.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co
silly, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties, The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the. satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In orfier to get its beneficial
effects, piease remember the name of
the Company-

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in tbe back or
over tbe hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
