The govern ment successfully resisted the strong attack on the Lancashire cotton In terests by carrying the Indian cotton duties resolution both in the house of lords and the house of commons to night and securing; the defeat of the Lancashire amendment by the sub stantial majority of 140, after Premier JJoyd-Ceorre had conceded that the whole question should be reconsidered at the termination of the war. This result was tne outcome of a Strong plea made by the premier that the government policy was only fair play toward India, which, in addition to the great assistance already given toward the prosecution of the war, would supply further man power for military operations and on the attl tudo of cx-Premier Asquith, who agreed that It would be Inadvisable to go hack on the decision already taken because It would have disastrous ef fects on India. Mr. Asquith proposed an amendment to reconsider the ques tion after the war, which the prime minister accepted. J. Austen Chamberlain, secretary for India, alluded to grave matters in the recent government of India, which would only be revealed when the ar chives gave up their secrets. The Lancashire members, realizing that the chance of defeating the duties was gone, held a hurried meeting and decided to carry the question to a di vision as a forsjal protest. Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer In a speech concluding the debate, denied that his proposal was the thin end of the wedge of tariff reform, and said they had to choose between trouble In India and trouble In Lancashire.

WASHINGTON March 14 Repub lican members of the senate foreign relations committee tonight drafted a minority report on the Colombian treaty expressing disagreement with majority members of the committee who have recommended ratification. The report expresses the view that there is no reason for the United States to par Colmobla t2S.000.000 and that there is no ground for an expression of regret for anything con nected with the partition of Panama. The treaty was reported to the senate today and will come up probably to morrow for discussion. the brotherhood chiefs issued the following: 'The nearly two hundred chairmen of the transportation organizations meeting here today, representing a number of principal lines in eastern territory, unanimously approved the compromise proposition presented t,o the managers' committee last De cember, in the hope at that time of a peaceful settlement. "The railroads, after having re fused to accept a settlement of the eight-hour controversy proposed by President Wilson last August, and after having refused to observe the eight-hour law enacted by congress, must accept responsibility for a strike, should It take place. It Is too late for them to now pose as patriots, hoping thereby to defeat the just contentions of their employes. We have requested a renewal of negotiations commencing tomorrow. in the hope of effecting a peaceful settlement." This statement was signed by W. S. Stone, grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers; L. E. Sheppard, acting presi dent of the Order of Hallway Con ductors; W. 8. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Engtaemen, and W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen.

Full co-operation to make a strike effec tive will be given by the American Federation of Labor If the railroads reject the demands to be made upon them tomorrow by the employes brotherhoods. No immediate sympa thetic strikes are contemplated, fed eration officials laid tonight, but the brotherhood chiefs have been assured of prompt and hearty support in every other way possiblo. Officials of the federation's rail way department, representing more than 400,000 employes, switchmen, telegraphers and maintenance-of-way laborers not affiliated with the broth erhoods, conferred at length on the situation during the day. The first move If the strike comes probably will be to admonish all union men not to offer their services to take the place of strikers. Plans for a general strike of all other railroad employes have been discussed, but the belief already ex pressed was that It could accomplish no good at this time. President Wilson is ready to act promptly should the nation-wide rail road strike threatened to begin Satur day really prove Imminent after the conference between representatives of the railroads and employes In New York tomorrow. Any action Is expected to take the form of a demand In the public inter est that the two sides settle their differences in view of the grave Inter national situation.

GERMANY TRICKED THE WORLD CREAM FOR CATARRH OPENS UP NOSTRILS Tells How To Get Quick Relief from Head-Colds. It s Splendid! Germany deceived the world in Its last census and gave its population as 16 million leas than It really was, according to a dispatch from Berne featured In London newspapers re cently. According to official returns published by the German government shortly before the war began the census thowed Germanv to have 5 million population. Now It is said the population really was AS million end that the number of able bodied men named In the official government report was greatly under the actual figure. The plan of the German govern ment. It is asserted in the Berne dls; patch, was to deceive the other pow ers of Europe as to Germany's actual man power.
