OF THE NEW ALLIANCE.
St. Petersburg, March 28.—The pa
pers are all discussing the possibility
of better relations between Russia and
Great Britain through the intermedi
ary of France. The Novosti continues
to insist that the absence of conflict
ing interests is bound to bring Great
Britain and Russia together, as their
alliance would be of enormous ad
vantage to both.
In diplomatic circles the possibility
of such anew triple alliance with its
far-reaching consequences, attracts
considerable attention, the opinion be
ing that it is not so fantastic as it at
first appeared. There is an intimation
from a well-informed quarter that King
Edward, who is now practically his
own Prime Minister, sincerely harbors
a desire to compose the long-standing
differences betw'een Great Britain and
the empire of his nephew, and that
while the time is not yet ripe for the
satisfaction of this desire, the way is
being paved for its consummation.

Nerthinsk, Eastern Siberia, to serve
out his sentence. He has a wife, two
sons in the cadet corps and a grown
up daughter.
The papers in the case of Capt. Leon
tieff of the Russian general staff, re
cently arrested at Warsaw for having
sold to a foreign power a list of the

the captain.

BASED UPON STATEMENTS
OF NATIVES OF AFRICA.
K'n Strong Evidence of the Cruelties
Complained Of.
London, March 28.—1n response to the
request of the Associated Press for any
statement which King Leopold of Bel
gium might see fit to rftake in relation
to the charges against the government
of the Congo Free State, regarding
atrocities committed upon the natives,
official documents were forwarded by
King Leopold and were received by
the Associated Press to-night.
In these documents it is asserted that
British Consul Casement gathered the
details for his report regarding cruel
ties largely from unsupported native
statements, which afterwards proved
to be utterly untrue.
The documents forwarded to the As
sociated Press endeavor to demonstrate
by careful data that there
is good reason to doubt the
reliability of these specific instances
of cruelty and oppression as given by
Consul Casement and others, because
of their dependence upon hearsay tes
timony.
Denies Any Crnelty.
Washington, March 28.—Chevalier De
Cuvelier, secretary general of the State

note to the British government, per

Congo Free State affecting the treat
ment of natives and trade, denies that
the manner in which the state is ad
misistered entails a systematic regime
"of cruelty or of depression.”

Miss Anderson sued him for $75,000

father, who is wealthy.
The jury assessed the defendant for
the full amount claimed.

CHILLS AND MALARIA BRED

/
TO-NI-TV Is Absolutely the Only Cure for Mnlarin, Chills and Fevers,
Diphtheria, Consumption, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Influenza, Grip,
Pleurisy, AH Lung, Stomach and Throat Troubles, and the
Deadly Rnvages of Catarrh, No Mailer How Acute,
or in What Part of the Body Located.
The following grateful testimonial from Mr. J. H. Coyle, who was cured
of malaria, chills and fever and chronic asthma, is one of many thousand,
tributes received dally from thankful men and women who have been res
cued from disease and death by this marvelous medicine:
“At different times recently. I have suffered greatly from malaria, chills
and fever, and in addition I have been a victim all my life to asthma, all
of which left me in such a miserable, shattered and run-down condition
that I was wholly unfitted for the ordinary duties of life and It was Im
possible for me to attend to business. I have been confined to the house
six weeks at a time and it was utterly impossible for me to He down. I suf
fered from strangulation, had an extremeley heavy pressure on my chest and
a dull headache continually. I have tried quinine and all kinds of drugs
and was treated by prominent physicians, but nothing did me any good until
I used your wonderful remedy, TO-NI-TA. My system seemed to respond
at once, I improved from the first week's treatment, I gained flesh, my appe
tite is greatly improved, I sleep well, and the terrible suffering caused by
malarial fever and, asthma has entirely disappeared. I feel like anew
man.” J. H. COYLE, 408 W. Broad St., Richmond, Va., Feb. 29, 1904.
Thousands of suffering men and women, like Mr. Coyle, who have gone
through the tortues of chills, malarial fever and ague will recall the time
when the frame would first shake as with palsy until the teeth chattered,
and afterwards be on fire with consuming fever, the only relief being from
copious doses of quinine, with which the system would be saturated, and. on
account of its weakening influence on the heart, was almost as bad as the
disease. Hince the wonderful discovery of TO-NI-TA by Dr. Lorentz, the
famous specialist, all this has been changed, and In giving his famous
Mucous Membrane Bitters to the world he has conferred a boon on suffer

DEATH HAD NO TERROR
FOR CHARLES G. FORSTER.
He Shot and Killed His Wife and
Hiuiself.
Washington, March 28.—Charles G.
Forster, a clerk employed in the White
House office, shot and killed his wife
and himself at their home in Kensing
ton, Md., yesterday.
Forster was a brother of Rudolph
Forster, one of the assistant secretaries
to President Roosevelt. For a consid
erable time he had shown evidences of
despondency, due, his friends say, part
ly to the illness of his wife and partly
to financial troubles. He frequently of
late had talked of suicide and on Fri
day said to one of his fellow clerks
that if it were not for his wife he
would end all his troubles by throwing
himself into the Potomac river.
MILES OK PATRIOTISM.
Change from Democracy to Despot
ism Is Insidious.
Washington. March 28.—Lieut. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, retired, formerly coni
mander-in-chlef of the United States
army, sent a letter of regret to the
Democratic Club of Grand Rapids,
Mich., which was to have given a ban
quet at Grand Rapids Monday evening.
Owing to the floods In that region, the
banquet was abandoned.
Gen. Miles authorizes the publication
of the letter, which deals with the sub
ject of patriotism. Gen. Miles says In
concluding his letter:
"It is the men who exercise the pow
er of citizenship that are responsible
for honesty and efficiency, In our public
affairs. The first requisite to good
government is universal intelligence
and patriotic, earnest devotion to the
welfare of our country. This republic
must continue in its march of progress
or it must into decay by the acts
or apathy of its own citizens.
“There is a sacred duty devolving up
on every citizen. You can have Just as
good or just as bad a government as
you will, be it municipal, state or na
tional; and our only hope rests in
true, patriotic devotion to the princi
ples of our government.
"The opportunity and responsibility
of the Democratic citizens of Michigan
and of the whole union are now greater
and more important than they have
been at any former period of our his
tory. There are many vexed questions
and problems in which there may be
an honest difference of opinion—but
there is one transcendent principle, far
above all other questions, whether of
economics or individuals, and that is
whether the spirit of the declarafion
of independence and of our constitution
—in brief, a pure democracy—shall
prevail or perish. The change from
oppression to llbery is wrought by vio
lence, but the change from democracy
to despotism is quiet, insidious, subtle
and fatal.”
HELD AKOTHER SESSION
To Hear Eviilenee in the Postofflce
in ventlgatlon.
Washington, March 28. —The McCall
Postolflce Investigating Committee met
to-day to continue its hearing on the
“charges concerning members” report.
Representative Overstreet, chairman
of the House Committee on Postoffices
and Post Roads, told the committee.
1 what he knew about;.;the report. Mr.
Overstreet said that While a sub-eom
mlttee was considering the Hay reso
lution acting co-Jointly with his asso
ciates, he requested the details from
the fourth assistant yostmaster gen
eral to the property leased to the gov
ernment by members of .Congress.
Mr. Overstreet was working, he said,
for a unanimous report from the com
mittee to have the report laid on the
table In the House and not published.
Mention of the report was made in a
New York paper. This publication, he
said, was entirely wrong, but it did
have a vital effect on members, who
thought that the real facts ought to be
printed. It was not until after this
publication that the committee author
ized the printing of the report.
Mr. McCall stated that Mr. Wynne
had testified that a list was first pre
pared without the names of members
and that this list was objected to by
the Postofflce Committee and the
names demanded.
Mr. Overstreet: "I made no such
request.”

COMMITTEE OF SENATE
MAY HEAR SWAYNE.
Washington, March 28.—The Senate
Committee on Rules will meet to-mor
row to consider the resolution offered
by Senator Hoar in relation to the im
peachment case of Judge Charles F.
Swayne of the Northern district of
Florida. This resolution instructed the
committee to investigate and report
whether the case can be heard by a
committee of the Senate.
It has been stated in the discussion
of the proceedings against Judge
Swayne that the trial following im
peachment must be conducted before
the bar of the Senate. If this should
be the decision and the case taken up
at this session, it would undoubtedly
delay adjournment. There is little
doubt, it is said, that the committee
will report that the authority to take
testimony in the case can be delegated
by the Senate to a committee of its
members, which may report at the next
session of Congress, if it is impossi
ble to conclude in time for an early
adjournment of the present session.

CATARRH
Catarrh is not only a most disgusting and offensive ry
malady, but when allowed to continue, becomes constitu- iA J
tional. The foul secretions and mucous matter are
absorbed into the blood, and the whole system becomes
infected with the catarrhal poison, and can’t be reached
by inhalations, sprays, washes, powders and salves. Only
a remedy that enters into the circulation and cleanses and /
purifies the polluted blood, can cure Catarrh after it gets w
to be chronic. It is a disease

The catarrhal poison pollutes the blood, and through the circulation contam

miserable symptoms. S. S. S. reaches it through the

From the Jewelers’ Circular-Weekly.
An interesting clock was recently
completed by Charles D. Davis of Chi
cago. Geographical clocks or clocks
which indicate the time in every part
of the world, are by no means new,
but Mr. Davis' invention Is said to
possess many novel features.
The dial is totally unlike that of the
ordinary time recorder, in that it con
tains t?6O marks wlhere the minute
marks are usually placed, these marks
representing the 360 degrees on the
earth's surface. On the outer circle
of the dial, where the twelve hour
representations are usually placed, are
twenty-four figures representing the
full day. The minutes are denoted by
marks on the outer circle, but two
dots are required for five minutes, be
cause there are twice as many char
acters on the same face as on the
ordinary clock.
The dial is divided In the center
from the six mark to the opposite six
mark. The twelve hours of the day
are distinguished by light spaces and
the remaining twelve hours by dark
spaces. The hour hand Is stationary
at the point which Is made the cen
tral time while the minute hand re
volves as on the ordinary clock.
To determine the time it is only
necessary to locate the city or country
on the red dial and read the time in
relation to it as on an ordinary clock.
SAUERKRAUT EXPLOSION.
From the New York Commercial.
An Oregon farmer who raises cab
bages and manufactures sauerkraut on
a large scale was recently trying to
sell fifty barrels of that delicacy to a
Front street dealer in Portland. The
dealer did not appear eager to buy.
He said he could hardly get rid of
so much sauerkraut before summer,
and it was dangerous stuff to have
around in hot weather, for it was likely
to ferment in the barrels. He said his
partner and another dealer on the
street had a deal in kraut some years
ago that was not profitable. They both
had a big lot of the stuff, about eighty
barrels in all, on a lower wharf on
the city front, and did not know what
to do with it, as the w’eather was be
coming warm. Finally they agreed to
play cards to see who should have the
whole, and his partner, who was a
craokerjack at cribbage, won. They
decided to ship it to San Francisco,
but the next day one of the barrels
exploded, threw down part of the ware
house and plastered everything within
gunshot with the seething, fermenting
nasty-smelling stuff.
After cleaning up, the remaining bar
rels were placed on a steamer and sent
to San Francisco. The night after
they were landed the warehouse In
which they were placed was burned,
and they lost the whole lot and nar
rowly escaped a big damage suit, as it
was charged that the fire was caused
by the spontaneous combustion of the
kraut. Since that time he takes his
allowance of cabbage after being cook
ed with corned beef and well saturat
ed with vinegar.
Looking nt Clock nt Night Sign ol
Old Age.
From the Atchison Globe.
Do you wake up in the night, and
wonder what time It Is. and get up
and make a light to see? That is a
sign of age. What difference does it
mnke what time it is? None whatever,
hut as you get older this insane desire
to know what time it is attacks you
every few hours. The light flickering
in a house after dark is usually carried
by some barefooted old man who Is on
his way to peer into the face of the
clock. The old women are not so
wakeful, having a good deal of sleep
to make up which they lost when their
children were little.
