Russians and Germans Have Al
lies On Anxious Bench.
U \ KEEP UP HOSTILITIES
Czar ’s Commander Says He Pro
poses to Go Ahead Regardless
of What Others Do.
1 a Washington special says: Thera
8 j,great anxiety in official circles over
1 the attitude of Russia and Germany in
8 The announcement that the
1 reneral commanding the Russian
I troops has said he proposes to go
I bead with his operations regardless of
1 what the other powers do, because his
1 government has declared war against
1 china, is considered by the president
I *nd his advisers as the gravest kind of
I , complication, opening up, as it does,
I ill sorts of possibilities of continued
I trouble.
I Germany’s attitude is also being
I hewed with alarm. While there has
been no statement from Germany like
that of the Russian general, it is re
garded as significant that the German
government declines to accept Li
Hung Chang as an authorized envoy
of China and that military prepara
tions are being rapidly rushed for
ward by the Germans. In diplomatic
circles there is a feeling that the
kaiser and the czar have a little un
derstanding between themselves which
bodes more or less trouble to the rest
of Europe, and which is likely to in
volve this country so long as we are on
the scene with our troops.
According to one member of the di
plomatic corps the opinion prevails
that Russia and Germany consider this
in excellent opportunity to force Eng
land to show her hand and incidentally
to bring about, a condition which will
inure to their benefit in more ways
than one.
The possibility of these complica
tions was the chief theme discussed at
Friday’s meeting of the cabinet and
the understanding is that it was de
termined by that meeting that this
government should take immediate
steps looking to a more definite ascer
tainment of the views and intentions
of the European powers, and prepara
tions to this end have already been
taken.
A decidedly unpleasant piece of
news which conspired to add to the
pessimistic view of the situation held
by some officials w r as the report from
Consul Johnson of serious outbreaks
at Amoy. This is in the southern
part of China, much farther south
than Shanghai, and is a point where
there are greater American interests
than there are in any other part of
China.
The news of this outbreak was very
much of a surprise to the officials, who
have not thought of the possibility of
trouble in tbat quarter. An American
vessel and American marines are to go
there at once for the protection of
American interests.
Russia now has Manchuria at her
mercy. The St. Petersburg corres
pondent of The Mail states that after
Zizikar and Moukden have been
stormed the subjugation of the pro
vince will be complete.

THE INVINCIBLE FITZ.
Sharkey Pounded Into Insensibility In
Than Two Rounds.
Whipped into insensibility in less
than two rounds is the story in brief
of Tom Sharkey’s meeting with Bob
Fitzsimmons at the Coney Island
Sporting Club Friday night. Fitz
simmons was the victor, Sharkey the
loser. Fitzsimmons said all along that
*hen an opportunity presented itself
he would prove conclusively that he
w as Sharkey’s superior and settle ac
counts for the injustice done him when
he met Sharkey in California four years
?o.
Sharkey was equally confident that
he would prove to be Fitzsimmons’
faster in the ring, but the result of
the battle and the brevity of it proved
that Fitzsimmons is still a great lighter
ft uu able to beat the best of the heavy
weights.

CHASED BY FORTUNE.
Lack of a Cranky Geologist Who Was After
Specimens Only.
One of the most valuable mineral
deposits in the Black Hills district was
originally discovered by a cranky geo
logist who had to be forced into proflt
lng by his find,” said an old mining
man, spinning yarns the other night.
“He was a weazened-up little chap
named Fulienwood, and, if I remem
ber rightly, he came from Buffalo,
N. Y. Anyhow, he was professor of
geology In some small college up the
State and came out west on a vaca
tion. Being an enthusiast, he couldn’t
rest and enjoy the air and scenery
like an ordinary tourist, but trotted ofT
to the Black Hills district to study the
geological formation. He prowled
around with a long-handled hammer
for several months and finally turned
up in Denver with an enormous box,
full ot pieces of rock. One day a prac
tical mining man, with whom he had
become acquainted, was looking over
the collection and ran across a speci
men that showed free gold to the nak
ed epe. ‘Great Scott!’ he exclaimed,
‘what mine does this come from?’ ‘No
mine at all,’ replied the professor;’ ‘I
found it in such and such a stratum.’
And he launched into a learned disser
tation on the geological characterists
of the locality. ‘Well, did you stake
out a claim?” inquired the other. ‘Cer
tainly not,’ said the professor; ‘I am
not a prospector, sir, I’m a scientist!’
“The mining man was astonished
and insisted on having the sample as
sayed at once, but the professor would
not hear t it. He declared indignant
ly that he could not spare the speci
men from his collection. To make a
long story short, his visitor slipped
up to the room next day, when he
happened to be out, secured the chunk
of rock, had it tested and then rushed
off, poste-haste, to the Hills. He found
the spot from the professor’s descrip
tion, located a claim, did a little de
velopment work, and later on sold out
for $30,000 cash. He gave the profes
sor SIO,OOO and had the hardest kind
of a job in getting the little man to
take it. Fulleuwood was red hot, too,
about the loss of his specimen. Alto
gether it was the queerest case of for
tune chasing a man down and grab
bing him by the coat-tails that I ever
heard of in my life. The property was
afterward known as the ‘Empire No.
1’ mine and belongs to a group that
is still being worked with much prof
it.’—New Orleans Times-Deinocrat.

“Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — l have a

and have bearing down pains. Menses
have not appeared for three months;
sometimes am troubled with a white
discharge. Ala® have kidney and blad

I have been this way for a long time,
and feel so miserable I thought 1 would
write to you and see if you could do me
any good.”—Miss Edna Frederick,
Troy, Ohio, Aug. 6, 1899.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinxham I have used
Lydia E. Pinkham’6 Vegetable Com

say I have not felt so well for years aa

medicine a more miserable person you
never saw. I could not eat or sleep,
and did not care to talk with any one.
Now I feel so well I cannot be grateful
enough to you for what you have done
for me.”—Miss Edna Frederick, Troy,
Ohio, Sept. 10, 1899.
Backache Cured
“ Dear Mrs. Pinxham :—I write to
thank you for the good Lydia E. Pink

It is the only medicine I have found
that helped me. I doctored with one
of the best physicians in the city of
New York, but received no benefit. I
had been ailing for about sixteen years,
was so weak and nervous that I could
hardly walk : had continued pain in my
back and was trou bled with leueorrhcea.
Menses were irregular and painful.
Words cannot express the benefit I have
derived from the use of your medicine.
I heartily recommend it to all suffering
women.” Mrs. Mary Bauseingeu,
