OFFICIAL
ABSENTEEISM
Members of Administration Away
From Their Places-
WEIGHTY MATTERS DEMAND
Their Attention—The Government
and the Chinese Situation—Oth
er News.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Aug. io, 1900.
Official absenteeism had up to
the present week merely been a
cause of regret that Mr. McKinley
and members of his administration
should 'o far forget the obligations
of the oath they took upon assum
ing office as to go away from their
official posts, for their own per
sonal pleasure, while the Chinese
situation was at such a critical
stage; but this week it has been a
cause of shame and deep humilia
tion to every patriotic American.
When Minister Conger’s message,
saying that the imperial Chinese
troops were daily firing upon the
British legation in Pekin, in which
he and all the other foreign minis
ters are cooped up as prisoners, ar
rived in Washington, neither the
president nor the secretary of state
were on hand to deal with it, and
nobody can say now what this
government intends to do about it.
That public opinion will compel it
to do more than hobnob with the
Chinese minister to the United
States, and endorse all the faiiy
tales he can invent is extremely
probable. Much as Mr. McKinley
dislikes to call an extra session of
congress to decide what this gov
ernment shall do, which he should
have don ; weeks ago, it looks now
as though he would not be able to
avoid it and drift along, hoping for
some opportunity to do something
or to make a bluff at doing some
thing that would Vie beneficial to
his waning political fortunes. The
time for drifting has passed. Mr.
McKinley’s socalled “ultimatum”
to the Chinese government, sent
through Consul-General Fowler,
at Shanghai, informing China that
the situation reported by Minister
Conger was intolerable,will hardly
scare the Chinese. They are not
fools. They know that in this
country congress alone has author
ity to declare war. For that rea
son. if for no other, congress ought
to be called in extra session. It
would convince the Chinese that
we meant business.
Senator Lindsay, whose term
will expire next March having
stated in an interview published by
a Washington paper his belief that
Mr. McKinley would be re-elected,
uemocrats are wondering what sort
of a federal appointment he is af
ter.
Democrats are delighted with
Col. Bryan’s speech of acceptance,
especially that portion of it which
so clearly points out the difference
between legitimate expansion—ac-
quiring territory to become future
states —and the imperialism which
acquires islands to become colonial
possessions. The speech is prob
ably the most complete argument
against imperialism ever presented
ita a single publication, and should
be c irefully studied by every
democrat who wishes to fit himself
to demolish every argument the
republicans have yet adyanced in
favor of the imperialistic foreign
policy of the McKinley adminis
tration. In fact, the speech might
be called the democ auc primer of
the present campaigi.
The periodical statement that
this government had sent an ulti
matum to the Suitau of Turkey
demanding immediate payment of
those American missionary claims,
which came out this week, has
grown both tiresome and farcical.
It was from the first laughed at by
the diplomatic corps, the European
members of which kne w something
of how the Sultan treats demands
upon him for money. A gentle
man who is in a position to make a
good guess said: “It would not
surprise me if in the last weeks of
the campaign Mr. McKinley sent
a strong naval force to compel the
Sultan to pay these claims and in
cidentally to inject a little jingoism
into the political campaign at
home.”
It is not customary for candidates
for president to take any hand in
the management of their own cam
paign, but Mr. McKinley is doing
it. He recently became so thor
oughly alarmed that he told Hanna
that he intended to reserve the vote
right over every important move
contemplated by the national com
mittee and that nothing outside of
the regular routine programme
must be done by the committee un
til it had been submitted to and ap
proved by him. Mr. Charles G.
Dawes, comptroller of the currency,
is one of Mr. McKinley’s personal
friends who acts as a go-between
iii transmitting messages to and
from the national committee, when
Hanna is not available.
FIGHTING IN CHINA.
Advance Begun <n Pekin Meets
with Heavy Resistance.
Washington, Aug. 6. —The an
nouncement r.ce vtd thiough Ad
miral Remey and Commandei Tau
sig reported heavy fighting on the
road beyond Tien Tsin w r as the
news of interest in the Chinese sit
uation today. Little doubt was ex
pressed at the navy department
that the news was sulistantially cor
rect. It is probable that a later fe
port may reduce the list of casual
tes among the international forces,
but it is evident that the move on
Pekin is at last fairly under way
and that strong opposition has been
encountered.
The war department officials who
have been exceedingly reticent for
several days as to news from the
seat of war admitted today when
the naval dispatches were received
that the announcement of the bat
tle was not unexpected.
Opinion among the various offic
ials now in Washington is some
what divided as to just what is pre
saged by today’s events. The more
optimistic are inclined to think that
such a severe blow as the Chinese
must have received at Peit Sang
will result in the speedy disinteg
ration in the forces now opposing
the forward movement of the int
ernational column. In line with
this.prediction it was prophesied
that the Chinese government would
find means to send the ministers
from Pekin under escort and thus
stave off the advance upon the cap
ital.
On the other hand there were a
number of officials in a position to
judge equally well who held that
the fight at Petit Sang was only
the beginning of a strenuous re
sistance that would be continued
to the gates of Pekin or beyond.
It was urged in support of this
view that the Chinese had a hund
red men to lose against one of the
allies; that they were well armed
with modern guns and had appar
ently an abundance of ammunition
Although neither of the naval
dispatches mention the presence of
American troops in the reported
engagement it is generally assum
ed at the war department that at
least a part of Gen. Chaffee’s small
army was on hand and took an ac
tive add agressive part in the aff
air.

WELCOME WORDS
TO WOMEN.
Women who suffer with disorders pecu
liar to their sex should write to Dr. Pierce
and receive free the advice of a physician
of over thirtv years' experience—a skilled
and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has
the most careful consideration and is, of
course, regarded as sacredly confidential.
Many sensitively modest women write fully
to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local
physician is pretty sure to say that lie can
not do anything without “an examina
tion. ” Dr. Pierce holds that these distaste
ful examinations are generally needless,
and that no woman, except in rare cases,
should submit to them.
Dr. Pierce's treatment will cure you
right in the privacy of your own honn.
His “Favorite Prescription” has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them
the worst imaginable case*. It is the
only medicine of its kind that is the pro
duct of a regularly graduated physician.
Some unscrupulous medicine dealers may
offer you a substitute. Don’t take it.
Don’t trifle with your health. Write to Dr.
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., —take his
advice and be well.

CUBAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS-
Constitutional Convention is Ex
pected to Decide the Matter.
Havana, August 8. —Gen. Wood
will go to Matanzas tomorrow at
the request of the governor of that
province to explain fully the de
tails of the coming election for
members of a constitutional as
sembly.
The clause in the decree calling
the assembly which refers to de
ciding the relations that will exist
between the United States and
Cuba has caused much comment
here. It is believed by some that
these relations should be settled
after a free government is estab
lished in Cuba, while others see
no incongruity in the assembly
settling the question of permanent
relations.
The decree has caused much
discussion among prominent Cu
bans, including Gen. Maximo Go
mez. Since his return from San
Domingo Gen. Gomez has told
Gen. Wood that he does not want
the Americans to leave the island
for a great many years. A good
many Cubans would like the Amer
icans to stay, fearing that their
continued presence will weaken
the conservative party; the Cubans
have not said much on the subject.
Should they give voice to their
desire it is probable that the rabid
section, though somewhat discred
ited, would raise a row by accusing
those desiring the Americans to
remain ol being annexationists and
thus swamp the moderate party.
Until the conservative element is
thoroughly organized it will pro
bably be impossible to make much
headway against the revolutionary
party. Another reason that pre
vents the United States being ask
ed to remain in control for a given
period, say five or six years, is the
fear that the Americans might ul
timately decide to remain for good,
The marriage law has been sign
ed. Hereafter marriages will be
civil or religious, according to toe
desire of the contracting p irties,
Religious marriages will have the
same force as those performed by
civil magistrates. Parties wishing
to be marrkd must present to the
officiating clergyman papers prov
ing that they can legally marry.
The clergyman must file the mai
riage contract at the municipal
registry within twenty days after
the ceremony, under penalty of
SIOO.
Telegrams have been sent to all
the mayors of the island ordering
the open registration of voters be
tween August 15th and 25th. Reg
istration boards will be composed
of one nominee from each party in
the district. Each ward will have
its own board.
Can’t Piease All-
The editor who can please every

entitled to wings. Human nature
is constituted so that some like
scandal, some don’t; some like to

others don’t; some like to see fakes
exposed, others don’t; some like
the truth told aboi t them, others
don’t; some ike to take tl.eir paper
seven or eight years and never
pay a cent, and get mad and stop
their paper it they get a statement
of their accounts, others don’t. It
is some consolation to know that
the Lord himself failed to please
everybody while on earth.—La

WSEf'S
CONFESSION II
. , !
Says Governor Taylor Gave Money
to Have Goebel Killed -
COMPLETED A FUND OF SISOO.
Steel Bullet* Were Ordered andOb
talned From Cincinnati, and
Two Men Were Found.
Georgetown, Ky.. August 4. —
Following a refusllby Henry Yout
sey’s attorneys to j e mit him to go
on the stand unless immunity was
granted ,a confession of Youtsey’s
was given out by the prosecution
in the trial of Caleb Powers today.
The statement, if true, implicates
Goveri or Taylor a; well as You
sey. It has been in the possession
of the prosecution for several
weeks, was originally taken by a
stenographer as it fell from, Yout
sey’s lips and is corrected in Yout
sey’s own handwriting.
ASKED TAYLOR FOR S3OO.
Youtsey says he offered “Tallow
Dick Combs” and Mason Hocker
smith SI2OO to kill Goebel. The
negroes had demanded SISOO and
Youtsey had gone to Taylor to get
the S3OO.
“Who are they?” asked Taylor,
“Two negroes,” was the reply.
“I’ll be d — if I will agree to
bind myself to negroes,” Taylor re
plied.
HE GOT THE STEEL BULLETS.
The matter up to this point had
been arranged in every detail by
Youtsey. On January 22 he had
written an older to Powell and
Clements, gunsmiths of Cincinnati
for what are ordinarily known as
steel bullets. Oi. the 24th the bul
lets were received, and on the fol
lowing day the arrangements were
made with Combs and Hocker
cmith. Youtsey had gone to Tay
lor’s office, found him alone and
had received the answer to his plead
ing: “1M be d — Youtse\ r if I
will bind myself to negroes.”
After the Berry-Vanmeter con
test had been settled and the Leg
islature had seated the Democrat
Van Meter; the Republicans were
thrown into great consternation.
Again Youtsey approached Taylor
" ith his SI2OO and asked him for
the needed S3OO. The matter was
uiscussed for some time.
“It is a horrible thing to contem
plate murder,” said Taylor.
GOVERNOR GAVE THE MONEY.
“Yes. it is,” was Youtsey’s re
ply. “but it must he done.”
Taylor again refused to give
Youtsey the money as lone as ne
groes were to b; trusted. Youtsey,
at length, agreed to make another
arrangement, and the money was
given to him.
Youtsey. it is said, can tell who
fired the fatal shot. Jim Howard,
Youtsey, Tallow Dick and a fourth
man, the prosecution says, were in
the room when the trigger was pul
led. Which one of the four fired
the shot the Commonwealth has
been unable to determine.
Youtsey has never opened his
mouth since the day on which he
first spoke, and his original con
fession did not go to the extent of
naming the man.
f'c 'lure’s Magazine for August.'
The Midsummer Fiction Num
ber of McClure’s Magazine, with a
cover by Louis Loeb, suggesting
by its rich, warm coloring the las
situde of the season, and with a
strong list of well known adepts in
the art of story telling, produces at
once a pleasing impression. To
this number Frank H. Spearman
contributes the first of anew series
of railway stories, telling of the ex
citing race of a train of Yellowstone
Park excursionists with a runaway
“freight.” Jack London, the young
Califo n'.an has in this issue a tale
of the perilous journey of a Klon
dike miner and his Indian wife to
obtain relief for a starving camp;
this story is imaginative in the
highest degree, and possesses strik
ing local and extraordinary pa
thetic force. Another strong story
is “A Bill from Tiffany’s” by
Josiah Flynt, the well known ex
plorer of tramp and criminal life,
and Francis Walton. The life of
metropolitan policemen and of pro
fessional thieves is graphically
portrayed; and there is a keen rel
ish in the account of the means bv
which I e ective Charley Mini k
secured muds for the purchase cf
his wife's jewels. Lieutenant-Com
mander Gilmore’s account, begin
ning in this number, of the extra
ordinary hardships of his party n
the wilds of Luzon, where a biutal
death more than once seemed im
minent. The number also contains
attractively illustrated stories by
George Beardsley, G. K, Turner,
Frederic Van Rensselaer Dey, and
Henry Wallace Philips.
Young Women

critical time for a girl. Little men
strual disorders started at that time soon
grow into fatal complications. That

FUGITIVES TSIN.
Many of Them Mlssionerles—Nar
row Escapes.
Victoria, Aug. B.—Among the
passengers on the Empress of Ja
pan which arrived from the Orient
today were twenty-nine mission
aries who are fugitives from North
China. Many of them had nar
row escapes.
Oneof the number,a Miss Hawes,
was in the compound at Wein Shan
when it was attacked by the Box
ers. In company with several oth
ers she escaped over a rear wall by
means oc a ladder. Rev. Jonathan
Lee and Mrs. Lee, and Corpl. J.
Kennedy and Pvt. Scott, who are
among the Empress’ passengers,
were present at the siege of Tien
Tsin. Mr. Lee sustained a wound
during the fighting. Stories ol
atrocities, of shocking horror are
related by Kennedy and Scott.
Among them is a tale of t
slaughter of 200 helpless coolies
who were going up the Pei Ho on
a lighter under an engagement to
do transporting for British parties.
Another harrowing story is related
in connection with the Lite of a
party of British, under command
of Capt. Bates, which was cut off
from Admiral Seymour’s column.
The captain and his men were
killed by Lin Chee. It is said that
tne victims were hacked to piece-'
and the reeking flesh of the first
slain forced into the mouths of
those not yet put to the sword.
The passengers bring a report of
the suicide of Mrs. Westwattr, a
missionary and a wife of Dr. Mc-
Donald Westwater, of Liao Yang.

at Arima while suffering from
mental depression caused by excit
ing experiences through which she
passed while at New Clnvang.
CATARRH
The Mother of Consumption.
How this Dread Disease May be Prevented and
Cured—The Greatest of Specialists Writes
on the Subject.
Catarrh is the mother of consumption.
By this I do not mean that every case of catarrh de-
J._. velopes Into consumption, but I
do mean that catarrh when un
checked, and when given the
>2 proper op portunities for exten-
W sion from its place of beginning,
W R which is the na.-al passages,
,7 deeper and deeper along the
f. 7 * breathing tract, invariably ends
in Consumption of the Lungs.
(ULr* Catarrh seldom destroys any
WL considerable part of the mucous
surface of the upper air pass
ages; it inflames and congests
MEftN. them, causing usually a super
abundant and offensive dis
charge: but when It reaches the intensely delicate
lining of the hair-like lung tubes and little lung cells,
the Inflaination and congestion which it causes,
closes these small air passages and, allowing the
putrid discharged matter to accumulate, causes a rot
ting tuvay of the membrane, resulting tn what we
call Consumption of the Lungs.
THE TENDENCY OF CATARRH.
The tendency of catarrh, w hen it has once obtained
h foothold in any portion of the mucous membrane
which lines every cavity of the body, is to constantly
extend in every direction.
Catarrh In almost every Instance starts with what is
commonly known as cold In tlie head. This cold is
added to by another, because of some extra exposure
or weakening of the system and becomes chronic.
Nasal catarrh Is the result. Euless a radical cure of
this condition Is effected, the disease passes rapidly
to the throat, to the bronchial tubes, and then to the
lungs.
NEW LUNGS.
Consumption cannot be cured. New lungs cannot
he made for a man any more than new fingers or a
new noso; but catarrh can be cured in all Its 6tages
except this final and always fatal one.
A CERTAIN CURE.
In an experience of twenty years, during which
time I have treated many thousands of cases of all
forms ot catarrh, I have never yet failed to effect a
radlealand permanent cure. The jucthod I employ
is one exclusively my own. and the remedies which I
use are prepared under my personal direction in my
own laboratories.
Many people imagine they have Consumption when
in reality the disease has not quite reached that
stage. I am treating and curing cases of this sort
every duy. So long as the process of decay ha* not
begun in the lungs themselves, lean make the patient
perfectly well and strong again.
BEGIN AT ONCE.
Let me once more urge all catarrhal sufferers 1o
begin treatment at once, for a month ot treatment
now t better than the three months later on.
I shall make for the next month a specially low fee
for tbf treatment of catarrh not complicated hv
other disease*, making no extra charge for all med
icines, etc., that may be required.
