kindly offered Jme three bottles of
Ijohnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic, gratis. I
accepted, and began the use of the Tonic at
once. Within three weeks I was was much
better. In three weeks I had taken the

Took no other medicine then nor since, and
am in better health and heavier than for
the past fifteen years.

Among the cases of this character
la that of W. O. Hansard, division su

Russia Makes Demands of
Ottoman Empire.
FOR MURDED OF HER CONSUL.
Affairs Are Becoming Very Much Com

Insubordination—Mohammedan Out

Constantinople. August 19.—Ths
Russian demands of Turkey, growing
out of the recent murder of the Rus
sian ocnsul at Monastlr, M. RosfiTov-
(ki, were formally presented at tha
Ylldlz palace yesterday.
Notwithstanding the warning which
Russia addressed to the Bulgarian gov
ern, It Is generally believed here
that the Russian naval demonstration
in Turkish waters will dangerously
enoourage the Macedonians who, it Is
asserted, will interpret Russia’s actiSfc
as being the first step toward Inter-
ration in their behalr.
The insubordination of the Turkish
troops Is regarded as being one of the
greatest dangers of the present Bal
kan crisis. The lack of discipline
among the soldiers is marked. It Is
found necessary to humor them in or
dsr to prevent conflicts between the
soldiers and their officers.
F° r Instance, a regiment, while on
the way from Uskub to Mbnastlr de
manded that the train be stopped at
(Monica for 12 hours Instead of for
the scheduled half hour, so that ths
soldiers might amuse themselves in the
town. After futile endeavors to pro.
vail upon them to allow the train to
prooeel, the officers were obliged to
grant their demand. The killing of
Bulgarian workmen wno were repair

Buena Ventura, August 17.—Tho Pan
ama canal treaty has been rejected
unanimously by tho Colombian con

It Is reported that President Marro-
qnln has been authorized by congress
to make a new treaty which win not
require further ratification, but that
tho basis given for the treaty will prob
ably prove unacceptable to the United
States.
It appears that one of the objections
to the ratification of the treaty which
carried weight In the senate was that
tho Panama Canal company did not
come to a previous arrangement with
the Colombian loreramont for ths
transfer of the concession.
The action taken by the senate more-

—The Russian squadron la expected

The attitude of Indifference now as
sumed by the Turkish officials towards
Russia’s action Is giving way to one
of marked concern. The ports fears
that Russia contemplates making still
