An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on tile kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California" Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

garians—Kruger Coming.
London, Jan. 4.—The course of the
Stock Exchange here today indicates
keeu anxiety prevailing in iinancial cir
cles. N early all the houses are lessen
ing their commitments and preparing to
meet the next settlement Jan. 16.
Fears exist as to the effect of the re
cent London and Globe failure being
felt more freely on that day than even
on the last settling day. Possibly the
precautions taken will discount the
force Os the danger.
In the meantime, the public is giving
the market a wide berth and is leaving
the professionals to get out of the diffi
culties as best they can.
WILL ACCEPT THE TREATY
England Will First Attempt to Secure
Some Concession.
London, Jan. 4.—United States Am
bassador Choate presented the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty amendments to the
secretary of state for foreign affairs, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, today.
London, Jan. 4.—Ambassador Choate
will deliver at once to Lord Lansdowne,
secretary of state for foreign affair, the
note of the United States government
announcing the senate’s amendment to
the Nicaragua treaty and will ask the
British government to accept the imme
diate treaty. Mr. Choate will assume
the position that England is ready to ac
cept the senate amendments. Laus
downe will make a noncommittal and
polite reply and the matter will slumber
for several weeks.
England will undoubtedly put out
feelers as to whethor the United States
is willing to concede something in re
turn, especially the Alaskan boundary.
While Mr. Choate has no instructions
yet on this point it is considered in dip
lomatic circles that the United States
will not make the slightest concession
and that ultimately England will accept
the amended treaty.
Plague at Vladivostoek.
London, Jan. 4. —The reports of an
outbreak of the plague at Vladivostoek
are confirmed. There have been 19

Sessions of the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 4.—Mr. Dalzell of
Pennsylvania called the house to order
today in tUe absence of Speaker Hen
derson, who was detained at his hem 1
by a severe cold.
Immediately afer the approval of the
journal half a dozen members were on
their feet demanding recognition.
Among them was Mr. Olmstead of
Pennsylvania, who yesterday created a
stir by offering the resolution to instruct
the committee on census to investigate
the alleged abridgement of the right to
vote in several southern states. But the
speaker pro tern first recognized Mr. Lacy
of lowa, who presented a privileged
resolution asking the president to re
turn a minor bill in which there was a
clerical error. It was adopted.
Mr. Burton of Ohio presented the
river and harbor bill. In order to clear
the way for Mr. Olmstead Mr. Graff of
Illinois, chairman of the committee on
claims, after stating that it was appar
ent that no claim bills could be consid
ered today (this being the day set aside
uuder the rule for their consideration),
asked unanimous consent to postpone
the regular order for today until next
week.
Mr. Swanson of Virginia objected.
The speaker pro tem was then • about to
recognize Mr. Olmstead when Mr. Un
derwood of Alabama headed hiua off
with the point of no quorum, The
house was counted but there were only
142 members in the hall. Uuder the
operation of the automatic rule the
speaker was able to direct a call of the
house, when Mr. Underwood interposed
with a motion to adjourn and the fili
buster was on. The vote was taken by
ayes and nays. «.
The motion to adjourn was defeated
—BS to 103.
The speaker pro tem held that the
pending question was the vote on the
question raised as to the consideration
of the Olmstead resolution. During the
previous rollcall the leaders on both
sides had conferred and an agreement
had been reached that the resolution
should be recommitted.
Mr. Richardson, the minority leader,
formally proposed that this course be
followed.
Mr. Olmstead replied that he would
consider the proposition after the house
had voted to consider the resolution.
“I may say,” said he, “that it had'
been my intention to follow the course
suggested by the gentleihan from Ten
nessee. ”
“Why not do so now and save time,”
asked Mr. Richardson.
But Mr. Olmstead insisted upon a vote
on the question of consideration and the
vote was accordingly oalled.
WELTY WILL VOTE FOR QUAY
He Repudiates His Pledge to the
Opposition.
Waynesboro, Pa., Jan. 4. —Benjamin
F. Welty, one of the Republican repre
sentatives from Franklin county in the
Pennsylvania legislature, admits that he
will cast his vote for Quay for United
States senator on Jan. 15. Welty did
not participate in the caucus at Harris
burg Tuesday when Quay was the
unanimous choice of the 123 Republi
cans present a .:d his name was on the
pledge signed by the anti-Quay legisla- 1
tors.
Welty acknowledges that he signed
both Quay and anti-Quay pledges, but
that he has determined to abide by the
pledge to support the caucus nominee
which he signed before receiving the
nomination.
The Quay leaders claim that the ac
cession of Welty gives them the 127
votes necessary to elect, three who were
not able to participate in the caucus be
ing certain to vote for him.
TO SETTLE THE INDEMNITY
State Department Takes the Initiative
In the Matter.
Washington, Jan. 4.—The state de
partment is making a strong effort to
secure an understanding among the
powers to serve as a basis for the adjust
ment of the question of indemnity to be
paid by the Chinese government. It
appears from Mr. Conger’s reports that
it is hopeless to expect the foreign min
isters at Peking to reach an agreement
on this important subject and if the
problem is to be solved at all it must be
removed from the Peking council and
dealt with by direct diplomatic ex
change.

TRAIN LIFTED FROM
THE TRACK BY WIND
Terrific Gale and Snowstorm
on the Pacific Coast.
BUILDINGS DEMOLISHED
Some Wrecked by the Storm While
Others Collapsed From the Weight
of the Snow-—Heavy Damage Re
ported From Various Points.
Reno, Not., Jan. 4.—-A terrific wind
storm has done much damage here and
in this vicinity. The southbound pas
senger train on the Nevada, California
and Oregon railway was struck by the
gale at Doyles, 40 miles north of Reno,
and was hurled from the rails. Four
passengers and three train men were
hurt. A baggage car on the Virginia
and Trnckee railroad express was lifted
from the track at Washington Mills,
south of here.
A portion of the roof of the Central
Pacific depot at Reno was blown“off and
the roundhouse suffered similarly.
One side of the brick livery stable of
R- W. Perry was blown in. A portion
qf the second floor was used as a resi
dence.
Perry and his family were seated in
the diningroom when, without warn
ing, a 60-foot section of the south wall
collapsed. Mr. and Mrs. Perry and their
three children were buried iu the debris,
but most miraculously escaped serious
injury. A number other buildings were
badly damaged.
BLEW 60 MILES AN HOUR.
Gale Does Considerable Damage In
San Francisco.
San Francisco. Jan. 4.—From re
ports received here the gale which struck
this city last night seems to be raging
not only on the southern coast, but all
along the line from Santa Cruz to Cape
Flattery. The waves are rolling moun
tain high at Fort Ross. Old timers are
reporting by telephone that it is the
worst storm ever known in that locality.
The bay on the Oakland side was so
rough that the ferry steamer Newark
was withdrawn from service and the
freight boat Mount Eden turned back to
port.
Although the storm in this city was of
short duration it did considerable dam
age. None of the individual losses,
however, are large.
At the Cliff House the wind blew at
the rate of 60 miles an hour. -A. number
of windows in the house were broken
and the entire structure seemed threat
ened with collapse.
The wharf at the foot of Main street
and about 20 feet of bulkhead was
washed away. In the city many trees
were blown down, a residence was
blown over and several other houses
damaged. Several pedestrians had nar
row escapes.
Respited by the Governor.
RaleigLh, Jan. 4.—Governor Russell
has granted a respite until Jan. 25 for
John Ruffin, a 16-year-old negro, who
was under sentence to be hanged at
Graham today. It is said that the peo
ple of Grrham desire Ruffin’s sentence
commuted to life imprisonment. Ruf
