NEGOTIATIONS AT LONDON lAars of m Vronpectlve Srttlrmeat and For Carrying on flit* l)i*ru»slon In the High Coiiimiftsiou Formally Sub mitted by Cliutnberlaln* London’, Jane 7. —A high authority of the colonial office has informed a representative of the Associated Press that the negotiatipns with • reference to the Alaskan question are in the rosiest possible condition. After the interview which the United States ambaskador, Mr. Joseph H. Choate, had yesterday with the Marquis of Salisbury, at the foreign office, the lines of a prospective settlement and for carrying on the discussion iu the high commission were formally submitted by the secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who, through our, has had most potent iuffuence on the Canadian side. Every arrangement in the negotia tiotu here between Mr. Choate, Lord Halisbnry and Sir Julian Pauncetote has gone through him, and the pros* pective settlement, in a great degree, may be considered a triumph for Mr. Chamberlain’s tact and perseverance. GENERAL EATON RETURNS. lie Tells of the Educational Progress Made In Porto lllco. New )$okk, June 7.—General John Eaton, who, in company with Dr. V. S. Clarke, was sent to Porto Eico last De cember as inspector of public instruc tion, returnod on the transport McPher sou and will proceed to Washington to day to make Lis report. The Porto Kicans have taken natu rally to our system,” said he, “and the improvement in the educational facili ties of the island is already marked. We have divided the island into 16 parts and a teacher who speaks English is as signed to each of the districts. This teacher visits the different* schools iu the district and corrects the pronuncia tion of the English taught there. We have secured the payment of the teachers, whereas .the Spanish never paid them, and tliiy were forced to ac- cept fees from rich pupils to eke out a living We have turned out no capable native teachers, much to the Porto Kicans' surprise and pleasure.” THIEF HEIR TO A FORTUNE. Starving Man Who Stole Thirty Out* Inherit* Thousands. San Francisco, June 7—Richard Daverkosnii, who is now serving a term in the county jail for stealing 30 cents from the poor box of St. Joseph’s Cath olic church, will find 300.000 gulden, or Ebeut $7. r >,000in American money, to his credit iu the National Hollaud bunk when he is released two weeks from to day. He took the 30 cents because he was on the verge of starvation and was too proud to beg. After his conviction his wife and children left him, returning to their former home in Gerniauy. Several days ago the German consul here received a letter from La Chapelle making pressing inquiry for Richard Daverkosen. once staff officer of the Groat Von Molke, and stating that an inheritance of 300,000 gnld, part of the estate of his maternal aunt, Mnie. Scblecher. was awaiting^ the luckv heir’s THE BANANA TRUST WILL HAVE A RIVAL Dealers of the South and East Now Combine. SOON READY FOR BUSINESS Sfobffe, New Orleans, Halffmore and Other Firms Organize For the Pur pose of F.gliting the United Fruit Company. Nf.w York, June 7.—It is learned on good authority that the rumors which have beeu going around to the effect that the soculled banana trust is soou to have a rival are founded ou fact. Ne gotiations looking to the formation of the new combination have been under way for a few weeks only, but it is likely that in three or four days this new combination will bo launched aud ready to do business. The work of organisation is said to have been unexpectedly successful and meetings will be held next Monday in several cities of the United States at which steps toward perfecting the scheme will be taken. The new venture is described us being a combination for protection aud not in any sense a trust. The banana dealers say that a fruit trnst is impossible because of tne per isbable nature of the goods. The new combination lias been in con templation ever since the United Fruit company or “bauana trust” was incor porated last Jan nary. When that com pany was formed the Blnefields com- pany of Mobile aud New Orleans was not included. The latter company did not like the terms offered aud kept out. It planned the rival combination and the present •‘fruit war” is the result of the planning. Those who will be included in the new company are the Aspinal Fruit company and J. E. Kerr & Co. of this city; the Sainana Bay company of San Domingo, wbo<e New York manager is F. C. Gedncy; Taylor’s West India Trading company of Philadelphia; Se ward & Co. of Baltimore; the Newport News Fruit company, and the Blue- fields compauy of Mobile aud New Or leans. Banana dealers say that the price of West Indiau fruit will uot be changed if the new combination goes through. They have found from experience that when bananas go below a certain point people do not consider them worth buy- ng. The new combination will send its ngeuts to territory uot controlled by tho present comoiuation and save expense in those places. VERIFIED IN NEW ORLEANS. III11. Ilf l«l. I'ompany Will Go lntp the N>■ IV C'oiiibiiiiitloti. New Oki.eans, June 7.—With respect to tho story from New Y’ork that largo fruit importers in the cast ami south are forming a combine to tight the hauauu trust, representatives here of tho Blue* fields compauy. the largest concern in the soutn, sunt today that the statement practically correct and that while they have not yet gone into the agree ment, they are prepared to do so if it becomes necessary to join in order to whip out the trust. They say the new combination is not to be a trust, but is to bo formed to thwart tbo aim nf the trust ill gobbling up the whole of the fruit Imsiuess and to protect the wouker importers. Tbo Blui-ftelds people say that the trust has made no rIT.irt to improve the condition of the trade, hut ou the contrary has •oid fruit in St. Louis aud other places at prices which will not pay freight charges.

Designing men, through alluring ant! cun ninglv worded .ulvertiMtt* nt*. constantly endeavor to work upon the feeling* of sick and ailing women by inviting them to write to a woman <!) and secure a woman's sym- C athy. " »l is tvcl! to remember that the est sympathy is to had at home and not from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles distant. The object of the sick is to get well, and however precious sympathy may lx-, it never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman. While the sympathy of your milliner or dressmaker might be appreciated and be just as beneficial, if not more so, than sym pathy from a stranger, yet it can not effect your cure if you are an ailing woman. It is loudly proclaimed through the pres* that *‘a woman can best understand a woman's ailments.** aud on thi*gTound sick women .are invited to “write to a woman ’’ and get the benefit of a woman's advice. The sort of “understanding of her ailments" wanted by a sick woman is a trained medi cal understanding If a woman has this trained medical knowledge she understands woman’s ailments not as a woman, but as a physician. If she is not a doctor she cannot understand the ailments at all, and cannot treat them successfully, because she lacks the necessary training. As far as known, there is no regularly qualified woman physician connected with any proprietary medicine especially de signed for women—no one. therefore quali- fied by learning and experience, to advise on questions of disease and its cure. It is certain that there is no one, man or woman, connected with any “put-up" medicine for women, excepting only Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, who. like Dr. Pierce, is a regular graduated and quali fied pbysiqmn, and who has, like him. de voted mor^han thirty years to the special study and treatment of diseases of women. For more than thirty year* Dr. R. V. .Pierce, a regularly praduated doctor, has been chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo. S. V On bis staff are nearly a score of regularly graduated, experienced, skilled physicians, each of whom is a spec ialist in his chosen class of diseases. Ev ery letter addressed to Dr. Pierce as above, has prompt, conscientious attention, is re garded as sacredly confidential and is an swered in a plain envelope so your private affairs arc kept safe from prying eyes. Fight Iletnreeji J> ffrles nn>t Fllz Will Draw u Largs Crowd. New York, June 7.—The great in terest taken in tho FitzsimnionsJeffries fight is shown by the sale of seats. At a recent auction rale of boxes, every box was sold, bringing $£1,000. One Lox was sold afterward by a speculator to a pariy of Wall afreet men for $350. Last niglit tho directors of the Coney Island Sporting club met and added 35 new boxes, yearly all of which have already been sold lor a good round sum. The $15 dollar seata have been liber ally purchased, while hardly any of the $10 seats urn left. The demand exceeds that for even the Sharkey-Maher, Cor bet t-Shar key or McCoy-Sharkey fight*. At a rough estimate the Coney Island club has sold $45,000 worth of seats. A Woodmen Reserve Fund. Kansas City, Juue 7. — Renewed In terest wus shown at the second day's session of the eleventh biennial conven- vention of the Modern Woodmen of America. Several thousand belated members of the order arrived during the night. The action of last night’s session, which took the preliminary steps towards creating a reserve fond, a question which has been fought for ten years, was discussed freely. The re port of Head Consul Korthcutt, who had been instructed to appoint a committee of five ta draft a plan for inch a fund, was made the special bnsiness of the dav. fftnte Department Announces That There I* No Intention to Rellev American Representatives on the Islands as Intimated. Washington, June 7.—All the in formation that the state department has received relative to the progress of the work of the Bauioan commission at Apia, save a brief statement that tho natives were disarming, has come through the press dispatches. No in formation has come from any official source to the effect that the three con •uls and the chief justice were to bt relieved. The iuteutiona of ths British and German governments as to their owi consuls are known only at London and Berlin, bat so far as Mr. Osborne, the United States consul, is concerned, there is no intsntion on ths part of oar own authorities to remove him. The impression prevails among ths officials that Mr. Osborne has been fortunate enough to avoid making enemies at Apia and he is believed to be obnoxious neither to the German nor the British elements. As to Chief Justice Chambers, the Samoan commission, it is said, baa no power to remove bim. Ho is part of ths machinery of the government of Samoa provided by tho Berlin treaty and he can be deposed only through complaint formally preferred by one party to the treaty and found sufficient by the nation from which he is ap pointed, or by combined complaint by two of the powers. The office can not be abolished by ths commission, for their proceedings are entirely referendum, wherever treaty changes are involved. MEMORIAL TO CAROLINIANS. Kin.

He saw no cause why It woold uot work just as well in Geor gia. The delays mi technical gronnda are necessary, be said, because the lew makes them so. There should be no criticism of attorneys.
