All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. ALLIED PRINTING TRADE COUNCIL CLEVELAND THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Two white persons injured during a riot, the result of a strike, in Cleveland several years ago, were a few days ago paid $500 and $750 respectively ($1,250 in all), by the commissioners of this (Cuyahoga) county, under our Ohio Mob Violence and Anti-Lynching law. GOOD. ANOTHER ALABAMA DECISION THE FULTON APPOINTMENT. Governor Myron T. Herrick, the great mass of respectable Afro-Americans of the city of Cleveland, headed by their pulpit and press, do protest in the strongest possible manner against the issuance of a commission to Major John C. Fulton, who, early in January, was appointed to a clerkship in the adjutant-general's office, at Columbus, the same to take effect upon March 1. The basis of the protest is not only Fulton's record, as disclosed in the affidavit of a Mrs. Thos. Smith^(white) of this city, but also includes the man's record up to a short time preceding the holiday season, a couple of months ago. It is positively silly for anyone to argue that the united protest of our local clergymen, is actuated by political factionalism or anything akin to it, and an insult to men of superior intelligence and standing in this community almost as great as the insination that they were moved to act as they have by any other than Christian motives and due regard for the welfare of and respect for a people, thousands of whom they pastor. The position to which the man aspires, is one that is supposedly held by a representative Afro-American of at least fair intelligence, ability, and moral standing. Less qualifications for the place has heretofore been a most effectual bar to all those who sought it, and should be so in all present and future instances. Beyond all question or doubt the strong, pointed and united protest of the Afro-American ministry of Cleveland, filed with the governor of the great state of Ohio, and sent broadcast throughout the state and country by our press, has in a public way not to be ignored with impunity by even the chief executive of the state, established the fact of Fulton's woeful lack of a most necessary qualification for the position. We therefore call upon Governor Herrick to revoke the appointment of the man and not only do his clear duty in the matter but also raise the standard of his minor appointees and that of his administration which such appointments are bound to lower; acquiesce in the respectful request of a large majority of the good Afro-Americans of Cleveland, his home, and save our people of the entire state from the humiliation and retarding influence of such an appointment to a "representative" position in the service of the state. This, too, we have a right to expect from a man like the state's chief executive, especially THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1904. whose business life heretofore, has been such as to justify it. Revoke the Fulton apointment, Governor! It is your clear duty, and you know it! FATHER SHERMAN BEATING THE "TOM TOM." Father Thomas E. Sherman, son of the late Gen. W. T. Sherman, makes the issue that the north would better busy itself with its labor troubles and let the south deal with the Negro problem. He deplores the reconstruction period and acknowledges himself ashamed of the great men whose lives and toils were given so unsparingly to what they believe were for the best cause of the government. But the utterances of Father Sherman are trite and threadbare. Such views are familiar and well understood with the people. Utterances equally as imbecile were made, somewhat similar to the present, just after the Revolutionary period, and in all ages of the world there has arisen from obscurity some notoriety-seeker, reiterating the defunct and empty opinion of some half back Anglo-American. Few people know anything of Father Sherman, and but for the name of his great father which he bears, he would not be known even to this city. Dixon and others have given expression to like views and in so doing have won notoriety. Perhaps Father Sherman has never before, so daringly asserted the courage of conviction. If so, then he has gained notoriety. But despite every blind endeavor and the wildest dreams of an army of Negro haters, the intelligent reading masses are agreed that whatever concerns the south, concerns the north and whatever concerns the north should necessarily concern all sections. The north is concerned for government and national union, and cannot shift the burden of the responsibility upon any one section. We deprecate the spirit which for a moment would seem to invalidate a unity of interest and action. We repudiate the old states' rights doctrine of ante bellum times and we denounce it as the forbidden fruit of our political Eden. No man is purely patriotic that feels not a just concern for each and every citizen of the republic and no man is worthy the name of an American citizen that stands not pledged to guard and protect the rights and liberty of all the people irrespective of race or color. Ah! but this is the point which troubles the soul of Preacher Sherman. Four millions of black men were bidden to stand forth in the habiliments of freeman and in obedience to the instincts of a common manhood, they seized the jewel of liberty and moved on to nobler life. The vox populi was the vox dei calling a struggling nation to a sense of its duty. To have denied political freedom to its loyal blacks would have been to betray the trust of the government and surrender its honor. The government was forced to the responsibility, which it now carries; let the government deal with the great problems before it, and let both north and south join hands in their solution upon terms that are at once honorable and righteous. Anything short of this would be sectional, antinational, and an outrage upon American citizenship. Father Sherman says: "Let the Negro learn to labor, learn to plow, and to serve." Yet no race of people has been more faithful in service and none in this respect has been of greater means in the upbuilding of southern institutions; and he fully realizes the doctrine of social inequalities, even to the extent of knowing that man, white or black, can be the social equal of another except by mutual consent. The labor question is a national question, it belongs as much to the south as to the north, and Father Sherman simply pleads so much sophistry when he strikes the Afro-American in his weakness. REV. J. D. WILLIAMSON'S AD DRESS. Dr. Williamson speaking of the Afro-American, said that "the Negro question is the problem of the twentieth century." The doctor has said some very good things on behalf of the Negro. Indeed he has spoken quite commendably of the race. But the gentleman talks like one little experienced in regard to the intellectual, moral and material growth of our people. He would seem to be just, yet deals quite unjustly with us in our wronged and oppressed condition. Nor does he interpose a single word against the barbarous and cruel persecutions so mercilessly inflicted upon a helpless and inoffensive people. He seeks to disclose the frailties and imperfections of this race singly, unmindful or wilfully unconcerned about the common vices and immoralities which are today shocking the sensibilities of Christian civilization and almost hopelessly damming the nation. He shuts his eyes and closes his ears to the terrible truth of our condition as a nation, admitting the sins of others, which he, nevertheless, shifts upon the Afro-American. The problem of the twentieth century involves the criminalities and unchristian conduct of that element of the nation, who have transformed themselves from the human to the inhuman, and have exposed suffering humanity to torture and butchery. Admitting, for the sake of argument only, the deterioration as is charged, but does it not more fittingly apply to those, who have vented their wrath in bloody crimes and rendered our land the hiss and scorn of nations? Though extricated from the responsibility of the mighty burden of human slavery, yet, has not that slavery in its effects, so dehumanized master as well as slave and so deteriorated the nature and humanity of the owner, as to doubly disqualify him for the duties of true citizenship? We merely submit these questions and they must seem not altogether unreasonable. We may ask, why should Dr. Williamson make the charge that the race in the main has deteriorated mentally and materially since the war? Such a charge is preposterious in the extreme, and it means that the good doctor is ignorant of the charge he makes or that he malignantly slanders them. Certainly as a Christian divine, he does not mean to wrong and misrepresent our people, therefore we must conclude that Dr. Williamson is not acquainted with the condition of affairs as they relate to ourselves. Many are our traducers and many are our foes, but facts and statistics are the strongest evidence in favor of the race. The census reports from 1890 to 1900 reveal the astounding fact that the race has made marvelous progress, intellectually, morally and materially and despite the dark and painful reports so often alleged, yet there is a preponderance of evidence corroborative of our onward march to better conditions. Our vast ecclesiastical and missionary labors, as well as our church work and our growing institutions of learning are incontrovertable proof of our steady growth and improvement. Of course, we grant that immorality is an alarming evil, yet it has been felt in all the ages and among all the races. The record tells a sad and dark story for American life. In charity's name and common decency, we will desist further comment, for we would feel a regard for the excellencies of other races, though they would regard not our own. In almost childish imitation of that class who would deny the Afro-American the right to life, liberty and happiness, Dr. Williamson declares to the young men's league that "FREEDOM WAS A MIS-NOMER." Heaven's God! Save the nation from the touch of such deterioration and moral blindness! Quite well did the immortal Jefferson exclaim, "I tremble for my country, when I remember that God is just and that his justice does not sleep forever." Again the doctor says, "Our condition now is worse than before the war." Marvelous revelation! God have mercy upon that man! A learned minister of the gospel of Christ truckles to the sentiment of a perversed, a degenerate and an atheistic age. He fights his own gospel, which says, "let the captive go free." He ignores the higher and more sublime law of our Savior, who enjoins, "whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them." With the vast accumulation of wealth by our merchants, our farmers, our mechanics and other men of the race known in the great states of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, California, Arkansas, Virginia, Tennessee and other states, both north and south, we have asserted an honorable recognition of our claims to the most wonderful progress of any people on the face of the globe. We agree with Dr. Williamson that education is our only hope, for it is the only hope of any people. Intellectual and moral development always win. Says he, "the race in the south has practically lost the franchise granted under the constitution." But has not this loss come about through shameful robbery and outrage? Let the deterioration, let the crime rest where it belongs. We thank Rev. Williamson for his few words of charity, yet would entreat him in the name of our common Father to turn from the error of his ways and plead the cause of the fortunate poor. Counted 9,000,000 Sheets of Paper. Washington, Feb. 24.—A count of the sheets of distinctive paper in the bureau of engraving and printing from which are printed all the securities emanating from the treasury has just been completed. The work was done by a force of 130 experts and occupied the greater portion of two days. Nearly 9,000,000 sheets of paper in all were counted, the final tally showing the aggregate to be correct to a sheet. Although the record of sheets on hand is balanced almost daily, this is the first complete inventory taken for 18 years. Ate Poisoned Bread and Died. Cayuga, I. T., Feb. 25.—Five members of the family of P. S. Crawford are dead as the result of eating bread in which arsenic had been mixed by mistake for baking powder. Crawford bought the arsenic to be used in medicine for hogs and placed it in an empty baking powder can. His wife thought it was baking powder and used it in making bread. Bert Crawford, a son who did not eat any of the bread, is the only survivor. To Restrict Immigration. Washington, Feb. 25.—Representative Adams, of Pennsylvania, has introduced a bill limiting to $8,000 the number of aliens to be admitted to the United States in any one year from any one country, Canada, Mexico and Cuba excepted. The bill applies to all territory within the jurisdiction of the United States. All aliens in excess of this number are to be arrested and deported. A Sale of Rare Books. Boston, Feb. 25.—A copy of Hawthorne's famous first book, "Fanshawe," was sold at auction here yesterday for $450. The book was secured by a collector of this city after a keen competition with New York bidders. "The Sisters' Years," an octavo, of eight pages, considered one of the rarest of Hawthorne's productions, went to Frank Maier, of New York City, for $290. A Question of Spelling: Chicago, Feb. 25.—W. E. Baker, the clerk in the office of the quartermaster at Fort Sheridan, who refused to spell "routing" with an "e," although ordered to do so by his superior, Lieut. Col. Miller, yesterday received his discharge from the secretary of war, to whom the question of spelling had been referred. Baker says that he will appeal to President Rooosevelt. A Stubborn Blaze. Pittsburg. Feb. 25.—An insignificant blaze which started in the butt weld department of the National tube works at McKeesport developed into a confaguration requiring the city and company firemen to work until last evening to extinguish. Loss $70,000. Fire Chief McCloskey and Fireman Arthur Thompson were injured by falling walls. 10 GEN. CHARLES F. DICK. GEN. CHARLES F. DICK IS CHOSEN BY ACCLAMATION He Is Nominated for Both Terms to Succeed Senator Hanna at a Republican Caucus at Columbus--- No Other Name Was Presented. Columbus, O., Feb. 25.—Gan. Charles Dick was nominated by acclamation for both the unexpired and regular terms for United States senator to succeed the late Senator Hanna at the caucus of the republican members of the legislature last evening. The name of Mr. Dick was the only one presented. As the republicans have a large majority in both branches, Gen. Dick's election is assured and the balloting on March 1 will be only a formality. even though more than enough votes to elect had been pledged. The caucus was held in the senate chamber shortly after 5 o'clock. Senator Overturff, of Delaware, presided. One hundred and nine republican members answered the roll call, two senators and six representatives being absent. Gen. Dick's name was presented by Senator Harris, of Ashtabula, and seconded by Representative Williams, of Hamilton, and Representative Treadway, of Cuyahoga. Gen. Dick was then nomi- The caucus was decided upon yesterday, it being the opinion of members of the legislature, concurred in by Gen. Dick, that inasmuch as the election was to fill a vacancy, the caucus should not be dispensed with, A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. The Starch Mill of a Sugar Refinery Is Demolished-Three Men Killed and 18 Injured. Chicago, Feb. 25.—Three men were killed and 18 injured last night in an explosion that wrecked the starch mill of the Warner Sugar Refining Co. at Waukegan, Ill. It is possible that the number of dead will exceed three, but it will be at least a fortnight before the wreckage of the mill can be cleaned up in such a manner that it can be positively known that no more bodies are in the debris. The reports of the dead run all the way from three to 25. The evidence, however, is in favor of the lower number. The injured are mostly Poles and Bohemians. None of them will die. The plant of the Warner Sugar Refining Co. is extensive and is valued at $2,500,000. The total number of men employed is 600 and the capacity of the starch mill is 18,000 bushels of starch daily. The starch mill, which was entirely destroyed by the explosion, was a brick building four stories high, 200 feet long by 100 feet wide. The structure with the machinery it contained was valued at $250,000. The building and all it contained is a total loss. No definite cause is known for the explosion. The force of the explosion was terrific, windows in the town of Waukegan, one and a half miles from the starch mill, being smashed into fragments. Had the explosion taken place 30 minutes after the time it occurred, the loss of life must have been heavy. Five Have Accepted. Washington, Feb. 25.—President Roosevelt has received definite acceptances from five of his appointees on the new isthmian canal commission, namely: Rear Admiral Walker, U. S. N., retired; Gen. G. W. Davis, U. S. A., retired; Col. Frank Hecker, of Detroit, director of transportation during the Spanish-American war; William Parsons, engineer of the New York subway, and W. H. Burr, professor of engineering at Columbia University, New York, and one time a member of the Walker isthmian canal commission. It is likely that the other two members of the commission will be Benjamin M. Harrod, of New Orleans, and C. E. Grunsky, of San Francisco. Postal Employee Arrested. St. Louis, Feb. 25.—Frank C. Hostetter, superintendent of the world's fair postoffice station, was arrested yesterday, charged with opening, detaining and embezzling mail matter. He was taken before United States Commissioner Babbitt, waived a preliminary hearing, made a full confession and was admitted to bond to await action by the next grand jury. His purpose, according to his confession, was to secure inside information as to concessions, exhibits, etc., designed for the fair and either use such information himself or give it to friends who were interested. Russia Will Exhibit. St. Louis, Feb. 25.—A cablegram was received yesterday by Alfred Gotbar, architect of the Russian building at the world's fair, from Commissioner General Alexandrovsky telling him to proceed with the erection of the building. This is taken to indicate that the Russian government will participate in the exposition. Six Miners are Killed. Six Miners are killed. Crested Butte, Col., Feb. 25.—Six miners have been killed by a snow-slide near the Augusta mine, nine miles from Crested Butte. even though more than enough votes to elect had been pledged. The caucus was held in the senate chamber shortly after 5 o'clock. Senator Overturff, of Delaware, presided. One hundred and nine republican members answered the roll call, two senators and six representatives being absent. Gen. Dick's name was presented by Senator Harris, of Ashtabula, and seconded by Representative Williams, of Hamilton, and Representative Treadway, of Cuyahoga. Gen. Dick was then nominated by acclamation. The democratic caucus will be held Monday at 7:30 p. m. There is a disposition with some of the democrats to vote for some one other than John H. Clarke, of Cleveland, their former nominee. CAR BARN BANDITS. Female Relatives of a Juryman in the Case are Infatuated with One of the Murderers. Chicago, Feb. 25.—Mayor Carter H. Harrison appeared in court yesterday as a witness against the car barn bandits. The mayor testified against the claim that the confessions of the defendants were secured by intimidation and force. This is the second time in the history of the city that a mayor has been called as a witness in a murder case. The other time was when Carter Harrison, sr., told the jury trying the anarchists the story of what he saw and heard in Haymarket Square before the throwing of a dynamite bomb. Judge Kersten learned yesterday that the mother and sister of one of the jurors had become apparently infatuated with Gustav Marx, one of the defendants, and were sending to Marx's cell in the county jail daily gifts of flowers and fruit. He was informed further that while passing out of the court room with members of the Marx family the two women stated that there would be a disagreement in the case. The women have been constant attendants at the proceedings ever since the hearing of testimony began, and have been in communication with the jurors. Judge Kersten called to the bench the bailiffs who have charge of the jury and instructed them to permit no intercourse between the juror and his family. ENJOINED BY HOLDOM. A Chicago Judge Issues an Edict to Restrain Local Federation of Labor. Chicago, Feb. 25. On the sworn statement of officials of the Dearborn Duster Co. that the Chicago Federation of Labor was assisting strikers in unlawful acts of intimidation and violence, Judge Jesse Holdom yesterday issued an injunction against the Central Labor union. President William G. Schardt and Secretary Edward H. Nockels are specially named as defendants, together with a host of girls and men strikers belonging to the Feather Duster Makers' union. The attempt of the company to connect the Federation of Labor with the acts complained of is the first of its kind in Chicago. In Ordered to Leave the Class IN ORDER TO LEAVE THE CITY. Philadelphia, Feb. 25.—Ben Zacharias, a member of the national executive board of the Fitters and Cutters' union, was yesterday ordered by a magistrate to leave the city immediately. He was arrested at the instance of Arnold, Louchelin & Co., clothing manufacturers, who advertised in New York for cutters and fitters. The garment workers here are on strike. At the hearing it was alleged that Zacharias came here from New York with 30 workmen and induced ten of them to violate their contracts with the firm. Death of an Inventor. Branford, Conn., Feb. 25. James Parish Lee, the inventor of the Lee rifle, died last night at Short Beach. Mr. Lee was born in Scotland, 71 years ago. He was the inventor of the Lee-Enfield rifle used by the British army and also of the Lee rifle used by the United States government several years ago. Five Chinamen are Cremated.

Thompson, of Lillydale, N.Y., Grand Worthy Wise Templar, and Member of W.C.T.U., tells how she recovered from a serious illness by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I am one of the many of your grateful friends who have been cured through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and who can to-day thank you for the fine health I enjoy. When I was thirty-five years old, I suffered severe backache and frequent bearing-down pains; in fact, I had womb trouble. I was very anxious to get well, and reading of the cures your Compound had made, I decided to try it. I took only six bottles, but it built me up and cured me entirely of all my troubles. "My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I was. My niece had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and was considered incurable. She took your Vegetable Compound and it cured her in a short time, and she became well and strong, and her home to her great joy and her husband's delight was blessed with a baby.

I had a slight return of my trouble and I went to the Drug Store and called for Dodd's Kidney Pills. They said there was no such pills. I told them there was. They said they had the best pills that were made and persuaded me to try a box of another kind, not Dodd's. As I needed some medicine, I bought a box, but they did me no good, so I went elsewhere and got the real Dodd's Kidney Pills, and very soon was completely cured. I took a box up to the Drug Store and showed them that there was such pills and asked them to order some, but as I haven't needed any more I haven't called to see whether or not they got them."

INTERESTING TO AMERICAN3. Western Canada Will Soon Become the Supply Depot for Wheat for Great Britain. During the past year about 50,000 Americans went from the United States to Canada. Most of these settled upon farm lands, and the writer is informed by agents of the Canadian Government that the greatest success has followed the efforts of nearly all. To their friends on this side of the boundary line the fullest assurance is given of the prosperity that is in store for them. There will always be a splendid market for all the grain, cattle and other produce that can be raised in Western Canada, and with the advantages offered of a free homestead of 160 acres of land, and other lands which may be bought cheaply, an excellent climate, splendid school system, educational advantages of the best, what more is required. The husbandman gets more return for his money than in any other country in the world. On the occasion of Sir Wilfred Laurier's visit to the Corn Exchange, London, Eng., Colonel Montgomery, V. D., made several important statements. "The function (he said) which you have just been assisting in connection with a kindred association has doubtless shown you the importance of the provision trade of Liverpool in its relationship with the Dominion, and the enormous possibilities of the future development of that trade. Well, the grain trade of Liverpool has interests with Canada no less important than those of the provision trade. When it is borne in mind that 80 per cent. of the breadstuffs of this great country has to be brought from abroad, you will readily appreciate with what great satisfaction we view the large and steadily increasing supplies of grain which are annually available for export from Canada, and I challenge contradiction when I say that of the wheats we import from Russia, India, the Pacific, and the length and breadth of the United States, none gives more general satisfaction, none is more generally appreciated, than that raised in the Province of Manitoba. We cannot get enough of it, and it is no exaggeration to say that there are before us dozens of millers who hunger for it. This is not the time to enter into statistical questions, but we look forward with confidence to the time at which, with the present rate of progress, the Dominion of Canada will have a sufficient surplus of wheat to render this country independent of other sources of supply. I think I may, with justifiable pride, remind you that this is the chief grain market of the British Empire, and through its excellent geographical position, as well as through the enterprise of its millers it is now the second milling center in the world."

JAPANESE-RUSSIAN WAR. Latest Telegraphic News of the Great Struggle in the Far East. --- Che Foo, Feb. 22.—The United States cruiser New Orleans and the boatboats Wilmington and Annapolis, which sailed from Manila on February 15, under command of Rear Admiral Cooper, upon arriving here received orders from the secretary of the navy to return to Shanghai. When the outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Japan occurred Admiral Evans, commanding the Asiatic fleet, sent a cruiser squadron to Shanghai and Cooper's squadron to Che Foo. Secretary Moody has ordered all the ships to Shanghai. They left immediately after coaling without giving any reason The Russian forces in Manchuria are so far acting entirely on the defensive. Extensive preparations are being made at Dalny, Port Arthur, New Chwang and Liao Yang to prevent the threatened landing of the Japanese troops. St. Petersburg, Feb. 22.—The appointment of Gen. Kuropatkin, who was on Saturday relieved of his functions as minister of war, to the chief command of the Russian army in the far east was gazetted yesterday. Gen. Kuropatkin will be accompanied to the front by the Grand Dukes Boris, Alexis, Nicholas and Michael Nikolalevich. Tokio, Feb. 22.—The reports from various quarters saying that Admiral Togo's fleet was partly crippled in the operations at Port Arthur, are unfounded. It has been unnecessary to send a single large ship to Sasebo for repairs. Two torpedo destroyers have been damaged, but not in fighting. The Aekebono in attempting to coal from a collier during a storm collided with the Oboro, disabling her machinery. Both were sent to Sasebo to be repaired and they will be ready for service soon. The armored cruiser Chyoda has been docked at Sasebo and cleaned. She had been in the water for months and her bottom was so foul that her speed was impaired. The battleship Shikishima, which was injured on the eve of war, was repaired in time to participate in Admiral Togo's attack on Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, Feb. 23.—Heavy snows and blizzards over the Siberian railroad, especially east of Baikal, are largely increasing the difficulties of transporting troops, beside better enabling Chinese brigands to operate. Japanese agents are reported north of Vladivostok, inciting the brigands to action. Russia is addressing to the powers, either through their representatives at St. Petersburg, the emperor's envoys abroad or probably through both a vigorous communication charging Japan with repeated violations of the laws of nations, first as the note alleges in threatening to attack a neutral port, Chemulbo, Korea, unless the Russian ships within came out to face an overwhelming force, and second in attacking Port Arthur before war had been declared and while the Japanese minister at St. Petersburg was still enjoying the protection of the Russian government. Tokio, Feb. 23.—It is reported here that Vice Admiral Togo has again attacked Port Arthur. It is impossible to confirm the statement. London, Feb. 23.—The owners of the British steamer Rosalie, from Cardiff for Vladivostok, and which sailed from Nagasaki January 18, have been notified that she has been captured by the Russians at Vladivostok. The Nagasaki correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, cabling under date of February 22, reports that the Japanese squadron has captured four Russian torpedo boats at Port Arthur by using Russian signals. The dispatch appears to confirm reports of a fresh attack on Port Arthur by the Japanese. A correspondent at Tokio of Reuter's Telegram Co. says he learns from a reliable source that the Russian minister to China, Paul Lessar, has successfully bribed Chinese officials, with the result that the instructions given the Russian gunboat Mandjur to leave Shanghai were cancelled. The Japanese government considers this to be a breach of Chinese neutrality, and is taking steps in the matter. Nagasaki, Feb. 23.—The steamer Stolberg has arrived here from Vladivostok with 20 white foreigners, 1,500 Chinese and 50 Japanese. She brings in addition 40 survivors of the Japanese steamer Nakonoura Maru, which was sunk by the Russian cruiser squadron from Vladivostok on February 11. Two men were drowned during their transfer to the Russian ships. The survivors were well traced and provided with return passages. Berlin, Feb. 23. The Militar Wochenblatt, the organ of the German general staff, has published an article discussing Russia's prospects of reinforcing her army in Eastern Asia. The paper takes a pessimistic view of the trans-Siberian railroad and especially of the section crossing Lake Baikal, where it says the difficulties to be overcome are enormous. The paper assumes the present strength of the Russian army in Eastern Asia to be 158,761 men, and Tokio, Feb. 23.—Kehachiro Okahura, of Tokio, offers his private museum for sale in America and Eugland for $1,000,000, which he proposes to donate to the Japanese war fund. The museum contains the most famous private collection in Japan and represents the labor of 30 years in collecting and an expenditure exceeding one million yen. Included among the many rare curios are over 1,000 Thibetan, Chinese, Siamese, Korean and Japanese idols, covering a period of 13 centuries. The offer includes the museum building. Schooner Wrecked. Portland, Ore., Feb. 23.—Advices from Astoria state that a three-masted schooner has been wrecked on the north head of Columbia river on the Washington shore. The beached schooner is the Frank W. Howe, from Port Townsend to San Francisco. Mal. McClellan Dies. Philadelphia, Feb. 23.—Maj. Arthur McClellan, brother of the late Gen. McClellan and uncle of the mayor of New York, died suddenly of heart disease at Drifton, Pa., yesterday. He was 65 years of age and a veteran of the civil war. the civil war. upon the foregoing estimate of time required to move troops, it declares it will take until April 20 for Russia to raise the strength of her East Asiatic army to 233,000 men. St. Petersburg, Feb. 24.—The Japanese who were hanged by Russians in Manchuria for attempting to blow up the railroad bridge over the Sangari river were disguised as coolies. They were arrested just as they were about to make the attempt. Inquiry revealed that they were Japanese officers of the general staff, namely Col. Assai, of the engineers, and Lieuts. Zoneloiascha and Kaeurta, of the sappers. They were at once hanged from the girders of the bridge. It can be said with the utmost positiveness that Russia will act on the defensive until she feels confident that her weight of numbers will leave no doubt as to the result. Reinforcements are going forward at the rate of 3,000 per day. Probably some time will elapse before Russia prepared to assume the offensive. Yin Kow, Feb. 24.—The consuls have decided on concerted action looking to the neutralization of New Chwang. They will, however, endeavor to secure an expression of Russian official opinion before acting further. Seoul, Feb. 24.—A telegram received here from a foreigner at Pyng Yang says that the report that Russian scouts are at Anju is authentic. The telegram also says that the natives in Pyng Yang are panic-stricken, but foreigners are not threatened. London, Feb. 24.—Cabling from Che Foo on February 23, a correspondent of the Morning Post says 40,000 more Japanese troops have landed at Chemulpo and that he has received confirmation of the report that some Japanese have landed at Pigeon Bay, others at Talienwan and that an engagement occurred the night of February 12. According to the Standard's correspondent at Seoul, the report is confirmed that 70 miles of railroad track and some important bridges have been destroyed between Harbin and Vladivostock. Paris, Feb. 24.—In a dispatch from Harbin, Manchuria, a correspondent of the Matin says ambulances are being sent in there from all parts of Russia. A dispatch from Port Arthur published in Paris this morning denies categorically the reports of a new attack by Japanese torpedo boats, and says they have been repulsed with loss every time they appeared in the roadsted. The allegation is made, according to this dispatch from Port Arthur, that the Japanese have dethroned the emperor of Korea and annexed the country. St. Petersburg, Feb. 25.—A telegram from Viceroy Alexieff to the czar says: "At a quarter before three in the morning of February 24, numerous Japanese torpedo boats attempted to attack the battleship Retvizan and sink large steamers loaded with inflammables. The Retvizan was the first to observe the torpedo boats, and opened a strong fire on them. She was supported by the land batteries. She destroyed two steamers near the entrance of the harbor; they were coming directly towards her. One of them went on the rocks near the lighthouse on Tiger peninsula and the other sank under Golden Hill. The Retvizan observed four steamers in a sinking condition and eight torpedo boats departing slowly to rejoin the waiting Japanese warships. A portion of the crews of the Japanese burning vessels were drowned. The grounded steamer is still burning. The enemy is observed in the offing of Port Arthur in two lines." It must be observed that in his dispatch Viceroy Alexieff does not mention the number of steamers which the Japanese tried to sink or drive upon the Russian ships, and it is not yet known whether the four vessels the captain of the Retvizan observed going down, in addition to the two destroyed, were also laden with inflammables, or whether they were warships. The greatest praise is given to the commander of the Retvizan and the splendid action of this American-built vessel places her name foremost on the roll of the Russian navy. Later it was said that Russia sustained no losses in the negagement. Yin Kow, Feb. 25.—Viceroy Alexieff has caused a proclamation to be issued throughout Manchuria notifying the Chinese that Russia is at war with Japan on account of Japan's treacherous attack on the Russian fleet. This proclamation is under six headings. Washington, Feb. 25.—Secretary Hay has received information that Japan has negotiated a treaty with Korea, whereby she guarantees the independence and integrity of Korea. Russia will ignore Japan's newly negotiated treaty with Korea and has so informed the United States. Japan, it may be stated, assumes practically the same attitude of indifference towards Russia's protest to the powers, which on high authority it is declared will be ignored by the Tokio government. Gave His Life for His Friend. Ithaca, N. Y., Feb. 22.—In an attempt to save the life of Ames G. Allen, of Chicago, with whom he was skating on Cayuga Lake, Louis T. Dickinson, of New York City, a senior at Cornell University, lost his life Sunday. The two young men had skated as far as Atwater, 18 miles north of Ithaca, when Allen broke through the ice. While attempting to pull him out Dickinson fell in and sank, after struggling for some minutes to regain the ice. Allen was dragged ashore after having been in the water more than half an hour. A "Busted" Trust. Mexico City, Feb. 22.—The sugar trust organized here a year ago and comprising in its membership the largest planters in the various states, has failed to corner the sugar product successfully and finds itself with liabilities of $7,290,000 and with assets of $7,770,000. The supply of sugar in this country is far in excess of the demand, and the new crop is coming to the market. It had been feared that the trust would smash, but three very wealthy members of the combine have come forward as personal guarantors of the liabilities. SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH RELY ON PE-RU-NA TO FIGHT CATARRH, COUGHS, COLDS, GRIP Sisters of St. Joseph, of the Deaf Mute Institute, 1849 Cass Ave., St. Louis, Mo., writes: "We appreciate Peruna very much. It certainly does good work with catarrh and also with colds and la gripe. We have faith in Peruna and have inspired many others with same. We do not like to be without it.

Peruna for coughs and colds in children. IN EVERY country of the civilized world the Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spiritual and intellectual needs of the charges committed to their care, but they also minister to their bodily needs. Whenever coughs or colds, la gripe or pneumonia make their appearance among the children these Sisters are not disconcerted, but know exactly the remedies to apply. With somany children to take care of and to protect from climate and disease these wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna a never-failing safeguard. Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the United States. A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich., reads as follows: Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sir: "The young girl who used the Peruna was suffering from laryngitis, and loss of voice. The result of the treatment was most satisfactory. She found great relief, and after farther use of the medicine we hope to be able to say she is entirely cured." Sisters of Charity. This young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat, with good results as the above letter testifies. From a Catholic institution in Central Ohio comes the following recommend from the Sister Superior: "Some years ago a friend of our institution recommended to us Dr. Hartman's Peruna as an excellent remedy for the influenza of which we then had several cases which threatened to be of a serious character. * We began to use it and experienced such wonderful results that since then Household Hints.

Agr. Editors wrote about it, Agr. College Professors lectured about it, Agr. Institute Orators talked about it, while in the farm home by the quiet fireside, in the corner grocery, in the village post-office, at the creamy, at the depot, in fact wherever farmers gathered, Salzer's Billion Dollar Grass, that wonderful grass, good for 5 to 14 tons per acre and lots of pasture besides, is always a theme worthy of the farmer's voice. Then comes Bromus *nermis*, than which there is no better grass or better permanent hay producer on earth, Grows wherever soil is found. Then the farmer talks about Salzer's Teosinte, which will produce 100 stocks from one kernel of seed, 11 ft. high, in 100 days, rich in nutrition and greedily eaten by cattle, hogs, etc., and is good for 80 tons of green food per acre. Victoria Rape, which can be grown at 25c a ton, and Speltz at 20c a bu., both great food for cattle, also come in for their share in the discussion. [K.

A remedy that would act immediately upon the congested mucous membrane restoring it to its normal state, would consequently cure all these diseases.
