Yung Lu is further said to have declared that he and the Dowager Empress had been aeeking to protect the Europeans and lega tions, but that Prince Tuan usurped the imperial power June 20. since when the soldiers have refused to obey Lur.g Lu.

Emperor William Wants Satisfac tion for Krtteler’s Death. Berlin. July 2.—From well authentica ted reports the representative of the As sociated Press is able to state that to day. after the detailed statement by Count von Buelow. secretary of state for foreign affairs, regarding the Chines? sit uation, Emperor William mgrie up hia mind to ir.e.st upon full satisfaction for the death of Baron von Ketteler, for which purpose he resolved to send armed forces approximately as large as those of the other Powers chiefly interested in restoring order in China. The precise rise of the force has not yet been determined, but it is expected that they will not altogether amount to 200X1. A considerable portion of the German fleet will be sent also. This is evidenced by orders Issued to-night to prepare five large battleships for sailing. It is under stood that Prince Henry of Prussia has requested the Emperor to give him com mand of this division, but it Is doubtful whe her His Majesty will agrree to this. The Emperor anJ Counf vort Buelow are fully aware that constitutional difficulties render difficult the dispatching of so large a contingent, but both are agreed that it must be done In this they are supported by the singularly unanimous attitude of the German press. To-night a number of the leading papers seriously discuss means for fulfilling the nation's wish to make reprisals against China correspondingly severe with the outrages. At the foreign office to-night the situa tion for Germany was described as in opt difficult, especially since the latest news ■hows that serious trouble is impending in Shan Tung. The Chinese legation here is still smil ingly snug. Minister Lu Hal Houan told a representative of the Associated Press that he was extremely sorry for the bloody etfrus in Pekin, but he felt sure that the Imwager Empress was guiltless. From an Interesting chat with him. the point seems worth recording that the minister took It for granted that the Powers would subdue the revolt in China, and then ar range anew government. CABINET OFFICER TALKS. Gives Succinct Statement of the Re lations AVI 111 China. Washington, July 2—Complications in China, the possibility of an extra session of Congress and the probable recall of President McKinley to Washington from Conton overshadow the Kansas City Coi ventlon and dwarf the Republican cam paign. A member of the cabinet who is fa miliar with all the details of the Chinese question, so far as official developments are concerned. In commenting upon Ad miral KempfT's latest official dispatch from Che Foo, says the point has not yet been reached to Justify the United States in making a formal declaration of war against the Chinese government. "It Is evident from the information we have received,” he went on to say, "that China Is in a state of revolt, and the govern ment of the empire is unable to put down the uprising prevailing In Pekin and vlclnlly. We have received many con flicting reports, and thus far we have no direct evidence that the Chinese govern ment Is responsible for the depredations already committed on foreigners." ‘To what extent must the Chinese go before our government will be warranted in formally declaring war?" was asked. Questions That Rale. "That depends entirely upon clrcum etances," repli and the cabinet officer ■There are many questions to he con sidered before taking such a step. First, We must be assured that the Chinese gov ernment has violated the laws of Inter course supposed to exist between friendly pawe:s. Then we must be certain that the government is a participant in the depredations against representatives and citizens of the United States, or indirectly sympathizing arid encouraging the viola tions of International agreements. In ad dition, we must c nsider whether it will be to our advantage to go to war with China or whether we can protect the righto of our citizens without going to that extrome. A nation does not declare war against one of its neighbors unless It expects to be benefitted by doing so. We have nothing to gain by declaring war with China; our desire and Intention Is to protect American citizens, whether offi cially employed or otherwise, and to res cue those who are in danger from as up rising of what appears to be a lawless class of Chinamen, led on by a designing politician who wants to p'.ace his son upon the throne. I refer to Prince Tuan. Our advices ell confirm this view of the situa tion and, If the situation does seem to grow more and mere alarming dally, we derive some encouragement from the fact A Strong Fortification.

"I do not dare to think what his fate may be. We are striving by every means possible to establish communication with him. All of the dispatches received to-day and for thq past few daye tend to confirm the theory that the uprising is too strong to be put down by the Chinese govern ment. It is true some of the Chinese government troops have Joined forces with Prince Tuan. Whatever fears or Im pressions I may have concerning the safe ty of Minister Conger I must keep to myself. I assure you. however, I am filled with the deepest anxiety regarding his safety, but I sincereley trust that future ; developments will show that he has been spared the fate of the German minister.'' No Extra Session. "Is the proposition to eall an extra ses sion of Congrens being seriously consid ered?" was the next question asked the cabinet officer. "No. The suggestion has been made In various newspapers, but It has never been considered by the President or the memlbere of the cabinet. Under existing conditions nothing would be golned by calling an extra session of Congress.

"At the first Intimation that the Chi nese government was either unable to put down the uprising or In collusion with the insurrectionists, we proceeded to take precautionary measures to protect and defend our own Interests In the Chinese empire.

Suffice It to say we are putting forth every effort within the limit of international law and friendly rela tionship to protect American Interests in China.” WAIT A .NOVEL THREAT. Consul* Propose That Graves of Im perial Ancestors He Destroyed. Berlin. July 2.—The consular body at Tien Tsln have unanimously proposed to their governments, as the scle means of caving the foreigners at Pekin, that the united Powers should inform the Chinese author ities that the graves of the ancestors of the imperial family at Pekin will be de stroyed If the foreigners at Pekin, espe cially the ministers, are harmed. It is understood that Great Britain is not disposed to adhere to the proposal. Repeats Kcmptl's Message, London. July 2.—tA dispatch from Ad miral Bruce to the admiralty here, dated Taku.

But it has not yet been thought, possible to at tempt a further advance.” Officer anil Mx Men Killed. Rome.

ExpreftNcri for the Gift of the Lafay ette Monument. Paris, July 2.—Leon Bourgeois, in the | Chamber of Deputies to-day, called atten tion to the Lafayette monument and Its inauguration July 4. He outlined the movement which culminated in its erec tion and recalled the resolution on the subject passed recently by the United States Congress. M. Bourgeois read this resolution In full, and then proposed that the chamber respond by adopting the fol lowing resolution: "The Chamber of Deputies expresses to the American nation the gratitude of France for the gift of the monument which is to perpetuate between the two republics memories which are equally dear to both." M. Delcasee. the minister of foreign af fairs, said the government had alerady communicated to Washington an expres sion of its gratitude and it desired to as sociate itself with the resolution. The Senate passed a similar resolution. ELECTIONS TO RE HELD IN IttOO. Officer* lle*i<lo* ('residential Elec tor* to Bo Chonen This Year. From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

CAMPED AMONG R ATTIJBSNAKES. Hnlr-Knlalng Espcrlrnef of a Party of Prospectors in Arizona. From the New York Tribune. “The Arizona of 1870," said William Al pertson of Spokane, “was a country in en tering which the hardy prospector and equally fearless ranchman literally car ried their lives in their hands. Phoenix and Tucson were ten years away, and in that vast expanse of sun-baked moun tain and plains the principal inhabitants were the yellow rattlesnakes, while scor pions, tarantulas, Gila monsters and, deadly as these loathsome reptiles and insects are, more deadly still the dread Apaches, who made the mountain fast nesses of the territory their hiding places and retreats, from which they made swift and murderous raids upon outlying fron tiersmen’s homes.

It is worth knowing that a change in food can cure dyspepsia. “I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape-Nuts food has cured me of Indigestion. "I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recommended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morn ing. I followed Instructions and now I am entirely well. "The whole family like Grape-Nuts. We use four packages a week. You are wel come to use this testimonial as you 6ee fit. 1 am willing to give any information to anyone who desires to see or write me regarding Grape-Nuts." Respectfully, Mrs. C. H. Lowe, t>Bl Parker St., Roxbury, Muss. The reason Mrs. Lowe was helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that the food Is predigested by natural 'processes and therefore does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using; It also con tains the elements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is In perfect working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy represents the steam that drives the engine. When the nervous system is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It Is perfectly cooked and ready for instant us* BlOOd Troubles l JnEs, As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is impor tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease, MmMt€SC3SSMaSHS^SBm f poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health is sure to follow. „ Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the skin by absorption, or Xj* Oifs jfiK inoculation ; others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the —9 system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the A**? .HT..MI circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin, each lias some S&BivJID&S a peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, - „ mas Cancer, Rheumatism, Kczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by FSe/SS 9 XF& ffSM i certain sore, ulcer, eruption or inflammation appearing on the skin. Every blood disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where it finds the least resistance. Many mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of salves, liniments and othei external applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment. BLOOD TROUBLES REOUIRE BLOOD REMEDIES; the poison must be completely and perma nently eradicated the blood reinforced, purified and cleansed, or the disease goes deeper and saps the very life. Mercury, potash and arsenic, the treatment usually prescribed in this class of diseases, are violent poisons, even when taken in small doses never cure, but do much harm by adding another poison to the already overburdened, diseased blood.

HAINES, General Agent. Telephone 709. 19 Bay Street, East, Savannah, Ga. and there were other and worse chiefs than he who helped to make Arizona the living- hell it was in those faraway days. Pew or no army posts existed there and he who sought fortune in that wilder ness did so with the conviction, that "kill that ye may live" must be the rule of his life. Every murderer and blackleg who found the rest of the frontier too hot to live in was sure of an asylum in that desert, and between the deadly ani mal and deadlier human life, U was a country into which none but the brave dared venture, where might was right, and the strong arm of the law had not as yet even cast the shadow of its future coming. Such was the Arizona I knew in 1870, and such a country I pray i may never be my fate again to come in touch with. Of all the reptiles there the tarantula was the worst, but almost as dangerous was the white scorpion, for to his two and a half inch body was attached a sting that he could drive a half inch Into a man’s body and thus send the deadly poison couring through his blood. The Gila monster, in spite of his dangerous reputation in the East, is not as danger ous as these others, but it is the veritable horror of his appearance that gives him his reputation. An overgrown and bloat ed lizard, frequently attaining a length of fifteen inches, he is fearful to behold, his alligator-like body being of a dirty dark gray and covered with a hard shell. His bite, however, compared with those of the others, is innocuous and need not be fatal if the one bitten applies without delay remedies to counteract the poison. I think it was on this trip that I wit nessed as 'strange a sight as I had ever looked upon. One of our party who had previously been in the country assured us that he knew it all and that a short cut across the mountains would save us many weary miles in our journey back to camp. We took him n.t his work and midnight found us just on the crest of the divide, after fruitless hours spent in trying to follow a trail that had no ex istence. We were then in a cup-shaped basin, the center of the cup being eov everd over by, club chaparral and the balance with sun-dried dead grass, and there we decided >o remain the rest of the night. Tethering our weary horses without unsaddling, we lay down to catch an hour or two's rest. "The Tndian we had as guide.” contin ued Mr. Alpertson, "was tied by either arm to two of the party. This was doe for safety's sake, for in that God-for saken country there was no precaution that looked toward safety it was safe to overlook. About an hour after we had lain down the Indian suddenly let loose a frightful yell and every man rolled over on his stomach and covered him with his rifle. At the same time we became con scious of the hissing or numberless rat tlesnakes and the awfel stench their bodies give off permeated the air. Why none of us were bitten was a miracle, for they were all over the place, and one of them crawling over his body was the cause of the Indian’s yell. That club chaparral was their home and they must have inhabited It by the thousand. After we got the horses and ourselves to a place of safety one of our number suggested that we Are the place, and we accord ingly touched the dry grass off. In a moment the entire chaparral leaped into flame and then occurred the weirdest of sights, for the snakes crawled up the dwarf trees and projected their horrible, writhing heads above the sea of flame, while from all about the great yellow rattlers hurried Into the ring of Are. A snakes by instinct, you know, rushes into, not away, from a nearby flame. To this day it is a vivid picture In my mind— that zone of fire, with the swollen yellow reptiles rushing into it and the heads, with their gaping., fork-tongued mouths, rising above and falling beneath the leap ing flames.” A Inlqnc tlnp.
