"Since the war between China and Japan, it has been fashionable to regard China os a plum cake to be divided among the Powers, provided the Powers do not quarrel among themselves. I doubt whether any one among us would advance that view, and it has never been the view of Her Majesty's present gov ernment, which has always desired that there should be a stable government in China. At the presept time I believe this view to he hold by all the Powers.” GERMANY PER FLEXED.

Female Troubles Overcome “Deab Mrs. Pink ham : — I had female trouble, painful menses, and kidney complaint, also stomach trouble. About a year ago I happened to pick up a paper that contained an advertisement of Lydia E.

Indianapolis, Ind., June 27.—Congress man Overstreet of this district left for Chicago to-day to arrange with Chair man Babcock of the Republican Congres sional Campaign Committee to take charge of headquarters in Chicago in ten days. On th congressional campaign, he said: “In 189S the Congressional Campaign Committee entered upon its work with strong evidences of a loss of at least thirty districts east of (he Missouri river. With this situation confronting us, we saw the necessity of making a vigorous light in the free silver sections of the country. We succeeded, and, while we lost more than thirty districts east of the Mis souri river, we carried the lower House by a majority of thirteen. We enter this campaign, consequently, with the burden on us for holding certain districts which heretofore have been held by the Dem ocrats, in addition to the necessity of re taining control of those districts which usually are carried by the Republicans. "Owing to the iniquitous election laws of Kentucky, Virginia and North Caro lina, we meet the further difficulty of having the districts now held by Repub licans* in those three states gravely en dangered. In Kentucky we now hold but two districts, one of which we carried by only ten votes. We are clearly entitled to at least four districts in Kentucky and an honest count would give them to us. The election law of Virginia is as obnox ious as that of Kentucky, and if it be op erated this year ns It was in 189S, our suc cess in those districts which are clearly Republican will be in doubt. “We do not pretend that the lower house can be carried without a struggle. The contest will be a hard one, but we feel equal to it.” IT LOOKS LIKE YALE. Son* of FII Seem to Think He Will “Get There” In the Hnce To-day.

Juno 27.—Many prominent traf fic officials were in Atlanta to-<lay In at tendance on a called mars meeting of the lines, represented in the Southeastern Freight Association, to fix a standard basis of rates on cotton moving from Geor gia, Alabama and Mississippi points io Carolina mills. While no definite basis was agreed iq>on, the questions under discussion were* practically settled with ihe exception of a few minor details. The establishment of many cotton mills in fhe Carolines has revolutionized the cotton movement In the South. The de mands of these mills for raw material have entirely altered the old condition of affairs. They Cannot longer depend on their own territory for all of the staple they need nnrl are forced to buy in Geor gia, Alabama, Mississippi and other Southeastern stares. It is estimated that they should have a standard basis of ra-tes from these cot ton-producing sections that will enable them to compete on equal terms with the New England mills. They have never bad such a standard basis, ar.d> this fact is responsible for the amount of time con sumed in discuss-ion of the two traffic meetings held here this month. The offi cials are forced to create a basis of rates, because they have no old tariff upon which to form their estimates. Another meeting will b? held later. FRIENDS OF EDUCATION.

Unhed States Ambassador Choate, responding to the toast to the hralth of the Amei leans, referring to the wond r? of mechanical ingenuity, said: “The President of the United States, sit ting in the White House, and Lord Balis bmy. sirhng at the foreign office, can s.-nd orders, which within twenty-four hours, will s t in motion cruisers at # Ma nila or off the coast of India that may go side by side to put down an explosion of medieval barbarism,” Referring to the benefits of international courtesies, Mr. Choate said: “All we want Is to know each other bet ter. and the more we know of one an other, take my word for it, the better we will like one another. I believe that aa time rolls on the thousand ties of mutual interests, the threads of the great inter national skein which bind the two peoples, will come even closer, always making foi peace anl civilization, until the people* are knit together by subtle, imperceptible strength. We have lived eighty-five yers lu peace, and we may well look forward to another eighty-five years of peace.” A remarkable feature of the evening was the hostile reception given Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, adjutant general of the colonies, who endeavored to make a gen eral defense of the conduct of the war in South Africa by the war office, but was frequetly interrupted. The superiority of American engineering was the principal topic of the .evening, and the general trend of the speeches wus voiced by the chairman, who declared It essential that every young British engineer and metal lurgist should closely study American methods if he wished to adcancc in hla profession.
