In tho House Mr. Wheeler ot Kentucky raised

Of Mr. Hepburn made yesterday, as reported In

Tho gontleman," Mr. Wheeler sold, "re
marked that the controversy between the gen

jb mado to say ' tho controversy between the
gentleman from Ohio and myself.' "
Mr. Wbeolcr suggested that tho permanent
Record bo made to conform to tho oxact facts In
the case.
Mr. Hepburn retortod that if any chango In
the Record had been made. It was not made by
;,,- lilm or with bis consent. Expecting some such
KJ claptrap as this, he said, he had refrained from
ft A making a single correction In tlio cop furnished
ktm. Mr. McMlllln nskod Jlr. Hepburn If ho
thought the change of a word In tho Record
Vas claptrap.
Mr. Hepburn No, I do not. Tho House evi

Vlll withdraw tho remark.
Apparently irrecoiiollablo differences In tho
ranks of the Republican members of tho Houso
Were sharpl) shown In the coumo ot u brief do

on tho consideration of tho bill making uppro-

Of the commission.
x I Mr. llarret t of Massachusetts, responding to a
i ' challenge givon the other dny b his Democrat-
jX 1 lo colliague, announced tho purposo of Mats-
9V chusctts Republicans toaUnd by tho prlnclplo

'J' Mr. Unrrott continued tils rennrks, nppiironth
i5t uumoveu b this fusillade. Tho law, he repeated,
( had remained on fiuhtntuto look with but ono
V "n single sorlous effort to repeal It, In lbUO. at
. which time It was said on the floor of tho Houso
t by the pnscnt occuiiaul of the While Houso
fi that tho Hepubllcan party was committed to
i .the milntenanco ot civil service reform, and
A that it had como to slay. Uontlcmen who
ff chafed under lt3 extoiiblon bj I'rcsidont
w Clevclnnd seemed to think he had lound
(r somothing new with which to plague the
Jt Hepubllcan party. The Trlnciple had been ad ch
eated b) Hn c s and Uarlleld, and President lie
Ktnley would take no backward Btep. Tho Re
publicans of Massachusetts did not support Mr.
McKiuley for the nomination for tho Presi
dency, but limine teen nominated they carried

given for a Presidential candidate. The) sup
' ported him on tho platform adopted at St. Louis,
gninbt which tbo gentleman from Uhlo
(Air. Uroscnor) uttered no word of protest, and
I they proposed to stand by him In the onforto

II being content to Ica o with hlni the admlnistrn

W) I was an admirer of nearly cvorythtngthatMnssa
fnV. cbusetts did. and of nearly all tho great men

yVulfl iaedto himself sumo exceptions. Regarding
vylf this question ho hoped that when the tlmo camo
I'i&r gentleman would discuss It and vote upon it
according to their own convictions, and not con
iJf.J Jlne themselves to a repetition of whut others
WYjn had done.
f "That sort of statesmanship," said ho, "is
the kind the parrot exploits as be indulges In
' his morning ablutions laughter, und now,"
he continued. "I commend to the gentleman
from Massachusetts another plank In tbo Re
publican platform, against, which I also uttered
Do protest, that he mnj see all around this mat
ter of abandoning tho platform, and know all
the delinquents."
Gen, Grosvenor then read, amid applause, tbo
declaration thut the Unltod States should inter
vene with its good olllces to tho cud that Cuba
might secure us Independence.
To this Mr. llarrctt responded that as bo un
derstood It the President was carrying out that
plank In the light of present conditions.
"In other words, retorted Mr Grosvenor,
"conditions havochangcri, and thePresldent has
changed. Well about this Cill Sorv ce law,
conditions have changed, nnd It Is possible the
V legislative department mny change." Applause.
p3 Mr. Dockery of MUsourf continued the discus-
lion, pleading for strict economy In appropria
tion bills, owing to the straitened condition of
tne Troasurj. Mr, Ulngley gave notice of pro
vision lor tho holiday recess.
At this point tho committee rose, and Mr.
Orosvcnor said:
"Mr. bpcukor. It Is well known the funeral

PFEEEER SVM3IOSED,
Aeeuari II I m t Criminal Mbal ror Circulating
the BImIIob Pamphlet Wblrh Apparently
rauaed the Tammany Local Ileraat In !)
Ate" Clrenlar Now Used to Dawn Bngel.
Tho elaborate pamphlet dovoted to the life
and deeds of Martin Enrol, tho present Tam
many Hall leader In the Eighth Assembly dis
trict, which was prepared nnd circulated by
Norbeth Plotter, an cast eldo politician, Just
before election, brought its author Into court
yesterday on a charge ot criminal libel. Not In I
yeara has "de ato" been so stirred up ns It was
when Pfeffer'B clroulor was distributed through
tho district. It was the first tlmo tn many a
day that anybody had dared to arraign Engol
and oponly defy him to contradict tho charges
mado against him.
Kn sol's candidate for tho Assembly, rhll Wis
slg.Jwas defeated by tho Republic an candidate,
Chariot Adlcr, at tho Inst election, nnd Engel,
who ran for Councilman, wns also boat en.
Whether It wns tho circular that did It Is n
matter of opinion. Engcl's enemies sny that
It was. His friends, however, attribute their
defeat to tho tact that Engol let tho clrculnr go
unanswered. It Is a fact Hint Ingol did nnt
deny any ot tho allegations contained In tbo
circular, and didn't tako nny action against
PfcfTor nround eloctlon tlmo.
Tho pamphlot In question; was addressed to
tbe "Citizens of. tho First Council District." In
it Engel was accusod ot almost ovcry crlmo on
the criminal calendar, particular ttrcs being
laid on tho chargos that ho rented out houses
for immoral purposes, and Hint during tho
Loxow Investigation he actod as a spy lor tho
Parkhurst society. In big black letters at tho
bottom of tbo circular was, "Issued by Norbotb.
PfefTcr. SO Htanton streot," nnd at tho top In
similar typo, "Notice I challenge contradic
tion." Several thousands of these circulars wero
scattered around tho district during tho cam
paign. Pfcffcr used to stand on street corners
and glvo them to passcrshy, and ho nlwn) s kept
a big Bitpply of them on tho bur In his saloon
at 5D Stanton Btrcot. PfefTcr Is a Republican.
Ho was formerly a dctoctlvo for tho Park
hurst Society, but rcslgnod to open a Fnloon.
Ho has been prominent In nil of the political
squabbles In "do nte," nnd li unaltcruhl) op
posed to Engel In over) thing.
Tho action taken against PfefTcr by Kngol
at this time has been prnctlc.ill) forced on tho
lattor. Ho has not onl) had to light tho Ro
puhllcnns In tbo district, but has also hud a
actional light on his hands. T In rov nit against
his lcndcrdilp Is led bv no less a personage
than tho great Barney Ruiirkr, who wuuts to
bo loader. The showing of tho district nt tho
last cloction wua anything but plcudng to thu
PO era thut hu in tho Fourteenth ftrect Wig
wam. ImikcI had n hard tlmo explaining whv
he nnd Vt lsslf; wire beaten, but It "as uneven
tmighor tank tu com lino the leaders that It
was no fault of his that Mil) or elect Vnn SV. jck
fell behind in the district.
The Rourko fnetioti sent n dilcgntlmi down
to Laknwood soviral tl.ivs ngo to tco Air. Crn?
kcr. Tho delegation took ono uf PferTcr s
paiuiihlctK down with them. Thiv showed It
to .Mr. Croker. Then the) tApliinid that En
gel had ni'wr denied the iillegatlons cnntuiiicil
lu the pimphlct, and that ho had not taken nn)
action figulnst PfolTir L hder the clu uiu

It was his uttltudc in regard to tho clmroes

of tlio election district Captains favored
Itourko nn leadir and after tilling Mr. Croker
that an) little favur hu might do thu cause of
Itourko would bi highly npprecl did, tlicj went
awu).
Thu pilninries in "do nto" will he held ncl
week, and llurc will bo u hot tight for Iho
leadership between Engel and Itourko. Both
tides claim u sure vhlorv. The Houiko crow il
hat. been using the PfelTcr circular an n cimi

to tho dli-ruM of tho I ngol men who mi) it Is

author of this ilrcular."
"When was this itsucdl" asked tho Mngls
trotu
"Will" said Engel, "Just before election."
"Kind of lute lu tho tin) tu kick, but 1 11 give

' It spread around "do nto" liko wildfire that

A new name has boen suggested for Police

Georgo C. Austin of the Twenty-first Now York
district, Mr. Austin wns Chairman of tho
Cities' Commlttco ot tho Assembly during tho
passago of tho Greater New York charter.
Ho was a faithful nnd hardworking publlo ser

notwithstanding hie clear record, tho Cltltcns'
Union In the recent election nominated against
him William SI. Bennett, nnd ns a result
Thomas J. Slurray, the Tammany cnndldnto,
wns elected over Sir. Austin by 400.
Sir. Austin Is a law ror. Mr. Slurray Is a very
Intelligent plaotorer. Sir. Austin has been
spoken ot by friend nnd foo ns one of tho most
ofllclent members of tho Assembly at Albany for
the Inst two yenrs. When tho namo of Sir.
Austin wns mentioned to Senator 1'latt ha said:
"That's worth thinking about." ,, ,

Is no hurry, t-otuo opposition has boen doveloped

Somooftho ltepubllcant of the 101.000 who
voted for Gen. Tracy do not regard with com
plaicncy tbe selection for Police Commissioner
of any one named In The Son's list on Monday.
Concerning tho Republican Police Commis
sioner from tho Borough ot Kings, the foremost
man lu tbe consideration of those competent to
sneak Is tbo Hon. William Cullsn Bryant, now
Firo Commissioner under Mayor Wurster.
Other Republicans In the Borough of Kings are
spoken of very highly, but up to last night Sir.
Bryant was certainly In the van.
Before ending this little story It may be neces

Chronic Constipation, i
ITS SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT. 11
mm
To chronic constipation induced by vegetable pttrj,itivest!ie name of " succeeding constl- lU
pation" has been given, and it lias been found to follow after almost every form of the vegeU- &I
ble pill purgatives so commonly taken and administered This most objectionable and in- SI
jurious torpor of the intestines does not follow the use of a properly prepared saline purgative S I
such as Kutnow's Improved LlTervescent Powder, in which the niturtl salts of famous European Jsfl
mineral springs are desiccated and efTervescentb added thereto to reproduce in natural effect
with the added advantages of palatabihty and absence of griping or nausea the efticadous and H
valuable properties of the mineral springs themselves. A course of two or three weeks of rtm
Kutnow's lmpioved Effervescent Powder will be found In most ctses requisite to so regulate jJB
the excretory functions tint tltey reacquire the natunl lnbit of acting without artificial stimuli- S?U
tion. Tlius Is constipation relieved without any injurious action of any kind, because both the wW
stomach and liver functions are at the same time lubricated, as it were, and greatly benefited. 1
The experience of medical men and patients warrants us in sttttng that Kutnow's Improved lfii
Effervescent Powder is a natural, healthful remedy in constipation, acting promptly and practi- huU
cally as Nature herself does. Where a deeply rooted habit of constipation lias been acquired l?jH
by a patient, to the certain injury of the heiltli and enjoyment, it will be speedily discovered 1lH
how great are the advantages following the use of Kutnow's Powder. $B
