Wki-Hai-Wel China, Nov. 2.—All the British warshipa her*, the flrstclass battleship Centurion, the firstolusn ernisor Narcissus, the secondclas* cruiser Hermioue, the torpedo boat destroyer Whiting, the torpedo boat destroyer Fame, the torpedo toat destroyer Handy and the tiratclass ganboat Pea cock have cleared for action and uru ready for sea ut an hour's notico. The lirstdass battleship Victorion) and the lirstcluss cruiser Undaunted, at Che-Foo, are coaling to their full ca pacity. The greatest secrecy is maintained to the meaning of these warlike prepa rations, but there is no doubt important instructions are expected at any mo ment. A large Russian fleet is assembled at Port Arthur. The war preparations ot the British naval authorities here is regarded as be ing of grave importance, coupled with the Angio-French war preparations. It is surmised that Russia, profiting bv the present strained relations between great Britain and France, has decided to pnsli forward her aims in the fur east by forcibly seizing the treaty port of New Chwang, which Great Britain can not permit, it is said. A dispatch from London to the Asso ciated Press on Oct. 20 said a cable mes sage had t>ecn received there from Shanghai as follows: A Russian regiment occupied the town of Nin Ohwuug (province of Lcao Tong) and the forts at tho month of the river Liaou oil Oct. 16, time secnriu.e complete possession of Niu-Chwang. The native troops fled without making nuy opposition, under orders of the em press dowager anil Li Hung Chang. "A British ganboat was in the river at the time. Its nonresistanco is re garded as the virtual British abandon meut of the whole of Manchuria to the Russians and gives Russia an iuval- nahlo strategic position. Great Britain is certain to Ipso the Niu-Chwang trade, of which it litis had 20 per cent.” Third Vielim of Lynchers- AcnczTA, Ga., Oct. 28.—The hotly of Wash McKie, the third of the negroes fired on hy tho I'ldguiield lynchers, has been found. Wash McKie was the most prominent negro in that district and a successful farmer, employing other negroes to work for him. He was candidate for postmaster, and it is said the enmity against Mr. Atkinson, whic . resulted in the assination of his wife, grew out of the negro’s disap. pointment at being defeated for this offloe.

MORE TALK OF RUPTURES French Paper Declares That Madrid Plenipotentiaries Will Break Off Negotiations and Then Appeal to Kurope For Help. Paris, Nov. 1.—The French papers derive their news of the work of the peace commissions from Spanish sources, snd therefore the morning papers here today are interesting as indicating the atmosphere in Spanish quarters and the trend of French views and tendencies. It must be recalled that the Spaniard* have utterly accepted the refusal of the Uniteil States government to assume any of the Spanish debt and the Caban question has been set away to wait its place in the final treaty, providing differences on the question of the Phil ippine islsnds shall not prevent the making of any treaty. As the whole is oomjHMed of its parts, so most the Phil ippine qnestion lie mntnally agreed upon or none of those questions previously agreed on will find a place in the treaty. This is all the provision or provisional understanding existent. In view of the facts then, the Paris press today has in- dicated a tendency to confuse tho situa tion. Made from pure cream of tartar. Safeguards the food against alum* Alum baking powders are (hs greatest menactrs to health of the present day. — ^jjwssjssjssojgmoojsswwj^^^ The Mat<n, in reviewing the ques tion. says: It is well understood that the ces- lion of Pnrto Rico was tantamount to tho payment of a war indemnity in caah and entirely freed Spain from any sub sequent repetition on tho subject.” Turning back to Cuba, The Matin re marks: Tho Spaniards declined to concur in teparatiug tho debt from the pledge, the mortgage from the htan. and as it was impossible to reach an understanding they asked that at least tho order of the protocol he inverted and that the ques tion of the Philippines be previously discussed, that question possibly offer ing the Americans an opportunity lot tendering some compensation for the numerous sacrifices they have forced upon the conquered. The Americans finally acceded to the change aud only •sked the Spaniards to accept provi sionally the clauses relating to the Ca ban debt, with the understanding that the acceptance coaid be withdrawn If no agreement could be reached as to the Philippines.” Referring to yesterday'e meeting The Matin says: 'Tbs Spaniards said they would make .their answer known on Friday. But it Is easy to foresee what it will be—a re fusal, precise and formal. The Spanish plenipotentiaries have made up their minds, in the event of the United States adverting to the Philippine proposition, to decline signing the act of peace, to break off the negotiations and to call upon the civilized nations to witness the abuse of force to which they will be subjected, and tlio violation of provis ions sot forth in the Washington pro tocol.” The Gadlois remarks: "The Spaniards will never agree to abandon the -archipelago without com pensation, and we believo tho Ameri cans intend to suggest that they will as inine the Philippine debt. Wo hope the negotiations will not bo broken, but Spain, it is given out as certain, would take snrh a course rather than to sub mit to humiliating terms. ’* Kdncationul Folk Convene.

Wasmnotun, Nov. 2.—A local newu bureau gives ont the story of an attempt upon the life of Premier Sagaata, which it claims to have received from its Mud' rid correspondent. The story goes that one evening abont tw o weeks ago the premier and bis son- in-law, Senor Merino, were walking in tbu Retiro, a lnxnriaut summer garden reserved for tbu nobility, when their at tention was attracted by the peculiar actions of a young man who had myste riously gained access to the place. The intruder followed them about, bnt at qnite a distance, and when a member of the secret jtolino arrived Senor Sagiuta had him pluced under arrest He gave hit namo at Jose Galvez, andf said his sole purpose in the garden was ttfget a close view of the premier. AS first he claimed to lie a Spaniard, bal afierwanl said ho was an Italian. A dagger, a loaded revolver and a considerable sum of money were found on hit person, COTTON PRICESFLUCTUATE. New York Market Opens Two Points Lower nail Then Advances, New York, Nov. 2.—The cotton mar ket opened steady with pricoa N points lower, nnder less responsive English cables than looked for. The lost was soon regained, however, aud a slight improvement scored on demand from local and southern short* ltuinors that the latter had recently sold heavily in spot cotton mid were only becoming nervous on account of the general sta bility shown by the future market in creased tho apprehension of local bears. The feature of operations iu the fore noon was the liberal buying of a promi nent local expn-t firm and the representa tive of n well known Philadelphia house, both of whom figured conspicuously in this capacity yesterday. Tlio volume of receipts is steadily losing weight ns nil influence. Neill's estimate for a 11,1100,000 bale minimum crop eat little figure as a factor. -L Mnnkind needs a herald, like the heralds of old, to pro- claim so that nil may hear, the vital importance of health. The aver- age man of to day thinks it beneath his dignity to bother nlxiut his health until it is gone. Keen then he only takes measures to restore it in mi in- different, contemptu ous sort of way. Men cannot learn too soon that health is the most import ant thing in life—in fact, is life. Without it the most brilliant man will be n failure, and the most robust man will rapidly be come a physical wreck. The man who neglects the little headaches, the loss of appetite snd sleep, nervousness, hot flush ings, cold chilis, heavy head, lax muscles, and the multitude of usd feelings that are the heralds of approaching sickness aud disease, must pay a tremendous penalty. For men who suffer in this way there is no medicine equal to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It sharpens the ap petite, corrects all dlsordeta of the diges tion, Invigorates the liver, makes the as similation of the food perfect purifies the Mood and enriches it with the life-giving elements that build new, healthy flesh.
