At each of the establishments where
stamps are authorized to be printed upon
drafts, orders and papers, an authorized
agent of the government will be stationed
who will receive from collectors of inter

delivery of imprinted stamps. The agent
should carefully read the contractor's con-
tract with this office, so that he ascertain
all the provisions thereof and see that they

ROWAN TRIED.
She Went Up to Required Speed of Twenty
five Knots.
Seattle, Wash., June 24 —The torpedo
boat Rowan has been given a preliminary
{ trial trip.
The run which was made to Tacoma and
return was very satisfactory as a speed of
twenty-five knots being developed under
175 pounds of steam. She can stand 250
pounds and it. would be no great surprise
if she made on her official trial a greater
speed than the required twenty-six knots.
The official trial will probably be held
next week. .An eighty mile course is to
be laid out from Tacoma up the sound.
REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE BEAR
Formally Presented to the
President—How It Was
Done.
Washington, June 24.—The first ambas
sador from Russia, Count de Cassini, was
formerly presented to President McKin
ley yesterday.
Count de Cassini, was attired in a
; brilliant court uniform, and in presenting
his letter said:
i Mr. President, in confiding to me the po
sition of bis first embasador in Washing
ton, my sovereign has deigned to grant mc
the most signal honor and one very grati
fying to me. An honor in that I represent
my great sovereign near the great Ameri
can people, a gratification in that I can be
i the authorized and confident interpreter
of the sentiment of high esteem and unal
terable friendship which for so many years
have united our two governments and our
two nations without the least 61oud ever
having arisen to disturb relations based
alike upon a large and far-seeing political
wisdom and upon an unquestionable sym
pathy. I venture to hope, Mr.. President,
that I will receive, as well from your ex
cellency as one, or the part of the govern
ment of the United State*., the sentiments
of sympathy to which I attach the high
est value and which will permit me to
acquit myself to our mutual satisfaction
in the mission which my sovereign deigned
I to confer upon me.”
j President McKinley made the following
i response:
“Mr. Ambassador, 1 have taken great
, pleasure in listening to your address and
in receiving from your hands the letter by
which His August Majesty, the Emperor of
Russia, has accredited you, as his ambas
t sador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to
this government, and I extend to you a
' welcome to its capital.
i “You agreeably recall to me. and through
i me to the people of the United States, the
j cordial esteem and unbroken ’ friendship
i which have ever subsisted between Russia
and the United States.
“It is my heartfelt wish that the fime
, honored associations to which you have
; referred, resting as it does on such firm
i fundations, will steadfastly endure. and
. that the great nation which you represent
i shall ever enjoy’ the blessings of peace,
prosperity and continued adv . emeu t.
I “In welcoming you I cannot forbear to
j congratulate you upon being the first cho
sen ambassador of His Majesty’ the Czar to
this country, and to express the satisfac
tion it gave me in reciprocating the action
of your government to advance our repre
sentative at your court to the rank of am-
, bassador.
I “I trust that your sojourn in this capital
may be in all respects agreeable to your
self, as it is certain to be to this govern
ment and to those of its citizens who may
; share the pleasure of your acquaintance
, and friendship.
“May I ask you to convey to His Ma-
I jesty the Emperor, whose commission you
bear, the good wishes of the president of
the American people for his happiness and
the welfare of his empire.”

ERYSIPELAS
Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shunned by
Their Fellow-Man.
Springfield. Mo.
Gentlemen : I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman's Grqttf Remedy, last
Fail, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on.the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

and without fail.
Springfield, Mo.
Gentlemen: Last June I had a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp
man's Great Remedy, and was agree
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think I have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly foe blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly,
W. P. HUNTER.
P. P. P. cures all blood and skin dis
ease. both in men and women.
Rheumatism, which makes man’s life
