Washington, Feb. 21.—The answer of the state departmuut to the house resolution calling for information re* garding certain charges made by late Consul Mu era in was transmitted to the house today by the president. It signed by Secretary Hay ami after re- cuing the resolution says: The department ot state has been in regular communication bv mail and telegraph with Charles E.

Communications made to him have been answered and the execution of the in structions sent baa been reported by him.

LORD ROBERTS’ STRATEGY Field Marshal Dividing Honors With Duller Up>n His Sciii-me to Draw the Doers Away—Satisfaction Felt In London. London, Feb. 21. —The war office de clares it is unable to substantiate the reports of the relief of Ladysmith. But this does not preveut the public from believing the queen has again fore stalled the authorities at Pall Mali and preferred to comuinuio'7'e the glad nows direct to the public through the mayor of Windsor, just as yesterday she dra matically announced, through Lord Wibiam Cecil, commander of a militia corps, tiding* of General Bulier’s suc cess hour* before tne war office able to relieve ihe impatient anxiety of ;hu Uuited Kingdom.

The practical relief of the former place is regarded as due more to Field Marshal Lord Roberts’ brilliant strat egy in dawing off the Boers than to General Boiler's numerous assaults, aud news of the results of ihe battle be- tweeu General Kitcueuer and General Cron jo, reinforced by the forces thus drawn off from Ladysmith, is expected to almost synchronise with the an nouncement that General Bailer has reached his objective. The accomplishment, of tho latter event, however, is regarded with greater confidence than is tne ability ot Gen eral Kitchener to thoroughly cripple General Cronje, for the Boers' general ba9 proved himself so clever and daring in sipping through the British linos that,’even if Lord Roberts quickly occu pied Bloomfoniein, mere are many fears expressed that General Cronje might stid preserve ihe effectiveness of his MORE TROUBLE FOR POUR JOHNNY BULL The Rossia of St. Petersburg Roasts England.

In the mythology of Ancient Greece Hymen, the god ot marriage, was tile half- brother of Kseulr pins, the god of medi cine. Tile ancients believed tiiat mar riage and health should go to gether, and us a result the Greeks of that time have ever since been looked upon as types of physical perfection. Sickly moth- era cannot bear healthy children. The prospective mother should use every precaution to preserve and foster her health. Not alone for the sake of the little one to come but for her own sake. A perfectly healthy woman is in no danger and in very little pain at her time of trial. There must be due preparation for this time. Nature makes the prepara tory period three-fourths of a year and women who take the hint from nature and use the time properly need have no fears of the outcome. Dr. I’ierce's Fa vorite Prescription is a medicine designed to cure all distinctly feminine ailments ami taken during the period of gestation it renders childbirth easy, safe and com paratively painless. It is the invention of Dr. R. V. I'ietee, of Buffalo, N. Y., a regularly graduated physician and skilled specialist in the cure of all diseases of woman. Mr*.

"England has fettered Ilnssia by many treaties. The moment has come to break tlieso fetters. Now is the time to pay off old scores: Europe has many and heavy ones to settle with England. As England did not scruple to tarn to lior own advantage Russia's weakness aftor the Tnrki.sk war, so Russia should not hesitate to avail herself of the op portunity presented by England’s did- rallies in South Africa. There is no time to be lost. "Russia must not wait for premised reorganization of the English military syatem. If she does her hoar will have passed and it will bo too late." INVASION IMPRACTICABLE.
