Austria?™ , Lighting
AGAIN; ,«■ SOUTH'S COTTON
Vienna, September s.—Leading finan
ciers are considering a scheme for mak
ing “Austria independent of American
cotton growers,” the proposition being
backed by many lai*se mill owners.
It is intended to introduce cotton grow
ing in Upper Mesopotamia, which was
once a great cotton producing country,
jind where it is claimed the industry may
be reestablished by a limited amount of
capital and intelligent colonization. The
mill owners are sure that the Turkish gov
ernment will grant permission and that,
if the scheme is energetically pushed, Aus
tria can grow a>ll the cotton she needs un
der the protection of the half moon, since
the Bagdad railway offers the necessary
means of communication and transporta-
It has been figured out that 20,000.000
of kroners will be needed to carry out the
proposition; colonists are to be procured
in Bosnia. Bulgaria, the Crimea, etc.
Tn this connection it is asserted that
Russia. Germany and England will be In
dependent of American cotton in a very
short time, the experiments in cotton
growing In their tropical colonies haying
been entirely successful. The Austrians
hopp to join 'the other governments sooner
or later and thus rid Europe of the ty
ranny of the American cotton market.
AUSTRIA HONORS KING EDWARD
Emperor Joseph Extends Glad Hand
to England's King.
Vienna, August 31.—King Edward ar
rived here today from Marten bad and he
was accorded an enthusiastic reception.
The city was elaborately decorated and
along the route from the. railroad station
to the Hoffburg triumphal arches dis
playing the Austrian and British flags
entwined were erected.
Emperor Francis Joseph, wearing the
uniform of the British dragoon guards,
and accompanied by s<*veral archdukes
and other notables, received King Ed
ward at the station. The king wore the
uniform of a colonel of Austrian Hussars.
After tho presentation of the archdukes
and other, the two sovereigns drove to
the Hoffburg in the landau drawn by six
horses, immense crowds lining the streets.
At the Hoffburg the king yas received
by the archduchess. Foreign Minister Go-
Juchowski. the Austrian and Hungarian
premiers and the court and state digni
taries. Thereafter the king retired to
his apartments, where he was officially
visited by the ejnperor.
A state dinner In honor of King Ed
ward was given at the Hoffburg tonight.
The company present included the empe
ror, all the archdukes and archduchesses,
the ministers, diplomats and the general
staff of the army.
Emperor Francis Joseph toasted King
Edward in a speech, in the course of
which he hailed the latter's visit as a
fresh pledge for the maintenance of the
close confidential relations which have
■long existed between the two families
nnd countries, and which were all the
firmer because there was no political in
terest or point of antagonism likely to
cast the shadow of a cloud between them.
The king, in response, expressed his
thanks for the friendly sentiments ex
pressed toward him and the cordial re
ception he had met with, which, he said,
had deeply touched him. He assured the
emperor of the continuous feeling of
friendship which he had inherited from
Queen Victoria and concluded by appoint
ing Emperor Francis Joseph a field mar
shal in the army.
The announcement created a deep im
pression.

TWO WOMEN DREW SHOT GUNS.
Negro Found in North Carolina

Wilmington. N. C„ September s.—(Spe

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting- Down to
First Principles.
A man of largo affairs in one of our
prominent < astern cities by too close at
tention to business, too little exercise and
too many < lub dinners, finally began to
pay nature's tax, levied in the form of
chronic stomach trouble; the failure oi
his digestion brought about a nervous
Irritability making it impossible to apply
himself to his daily business and finally
deranging the kidneys and heart.
In his own words he says: “1 consulted
one physician after another and each
one seemed to understand my case, but
all the same they each failed to bring
about the i turn of my former digestion,
appetite and vigor For two years I went
from pillar to post, from one sanitarium
to another. 1 gave up smoking. 1 quit
coffee ami n renounced my daily glass
or two of b< . r, but without any marked
Improvement.
“Friends had often advised me to try a
well-known proprietary medicine, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and I had often pe
rused the n< wspaper advertisements ot
the remedy but never took tiny stock Ir
advertised medicines nor could believe s
fifty-cent patent medicine would toucl
my case.
"To make a long story short I finally
bought a couple of packages at the near
est drug store and took two or three
ta'uets after each meal and occasionallj
a tablet betwe n meals, when I felt any
feeling of nausea or discomfort.
"I was surprised at the end of the flrsl
week to note a marked improvement ir
my appetite and general health and be
fore the two packages wore gone 1 war
certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet:
was going to cur, completely, and tho?
did not disappoint mo. f enn eat ant
sleep and enjoy my eoffee and eigar an<
r.o one would suppose I had ever knowr
the horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to th
proprietors of the remedy asking for in
formation as to what the tablets con
lained and they replied that the principa
ngredients wore aseptic pepsin (govern
ment test), malt diastase and other nat
oral digestives, which digest food regard
’ess of the condition of the stomach.”
The root of the matter is this, the diges
five elements contained in Stuart s Dys
pepsin. Tablets will digest the food, g!v
the overworked stomach a chance to re
tmperate and the nerves and whole sys
fem receive tho nourishment which ca
only come from food; stimulants am
nerve tonics never give real strength, the
give a fictitious strength, invariably fol
lowed by reaction. Every drop of bloof
every' nerve and tissue Is manufacture
from our daily food, and if you can insur
Its prompt action and complete digestfo
by tho regular nsof so good and whole
some a rented v as Stuart's Dyspepsi:
Tablets, you will have no need of norv
tonics and sanitariums.
Although Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet
ha'-p jioen in the market only a few year:
« ct probably every druggist in the I nite
Stales. Canada and Great Britain not
sol's them and emtsiders them the mos
popular and successful of any preparatip
for stomach trouble.

NEW CHANGE FOR CONSULS.
President Decides Upon Appoint
ments by Promotion.
Oyster Bay. N. Y'., September 4.—An
important cbpnge of policy with respect
to the making of appointments in the
consular service has been decided up<~»
by President Roosevelt. He discussed
the change today with Assistant Seeretaij
of State Js.raneis B. Loomis.
President Roosevelt, after consultation
with Secretary Hay. Assistant Secretary
Loomis, and members of his cabinet, not
immediately identified with the state de-<
partment. has determined to appoint
hereafter'to important places in the con
sular service, m«-u who •already are m the
service and ijave had that exnerience and
training in minor positions which will
render them the more capable of filling
places of higher grade and greater lin-l
portance. T.hj_- change in policy does not
extend their civil service rules to consular
service and it docs not extend, necessa
rily. a consul's tenure of office at any
particular place, but it is pointed out that
it does ’-V-C reasonable assurance that
in a. comparatively brief time all impor
tant cqjisular situations will be filled not
only by men of character and ability, but
by men who. by training and experience,
are especially qualified to advance the
trade interests of the United Slates.

STRONG CASE FOR AMERICA.
Arguments Are Submitted in Regard to the Alaskan
Boundary Question.
London, September 2.—The argument of
tlie United States and Great Britain,
based on the cases and counter cases in
tlie Alaskan boundary arbitration already
filed, were submitted today by counsel of
the two governments to the Alaskan
boundary commissioners.
One of the Canadian counsel said, after
reading the American brief, that It was a
strong document, but he thought Great
Britain had a fighting chance.
It is expected that tlie meeting of the
commissioners tomorrow will be brief and
merely for the purpose of organizing and
fixing a date for the hearing of oral ar
guments, though it is possible that appli
cations relative to matters of Alaskan
boundary may be made at the meeting
which will be private. It will then be de
termined if the subsequent meetings shall
be public or private.
Asbassador Choate gave a dinner to
night to Chief Justice Alvorstone and the
boundary commissioners.
Chief Justice Alverstone will tomorrow 1
be chonsen chairman of the commission
which will assemble in the cabinet room
of the foreign office. An adjournment
for a fortnight will then be taken to al
low counsel to prepare their oral argu
ments. Three counsel to ench side will
address the commission.
There is a disposition on the part of
some of the commissioners to hasten the
conclusion of tlie case and it is now be
lieved that the award will be rendered
in the middle of October.
In Magnificent Quarters.
Ixmdon. September 3.—The .Alaskan
boundary commissioners held their first
meeting today in tlie conferencd'room of
tlie foreign office.
Prior to the formal assembling the
commissioners met in their private con
ference room and selected Reginald
'l'. Power, of tlie British diplomatic ser
vice, formerly attached to the legation
at Washington and recently minister to
Siam, to be secretary of the commis
sion. J. R. Carter, second secretary of
of the United States embassy, and Mr.
Pope, a representative of the Canadian
government, were appointed assistant
secretaries. Lord Chief Justice Alver
stone was subsequently chosen chairman
of the commission.
It was announced that oral arguments
would commence September 15 mid Lord
Alverstone expressed the hope that they
would be finished by October 9.
The conference room of the foreign
office, where the commissioners met, is
tlie choicest apartment in tlie British pub
lic build*lng.s. it Is a magnificent salon,
with gothic ceiling and panelled walls,
and has been the scene ot many notable
gatherings. It was generally used by (Yle
late Lady Salisbury to receive the guests
after the late Lord Salisbury’s dinner to
the diplomatic corps. At the end of the
room a platform lias been constructed
and on it was a long desk with a blue
covering. Behind this desk were six
chairs, which were occupied by the com
missioners whose international reputa
tions emphasized the importance oi the
occasion. Elihu Root and ixird Alver
stone sat In the center. Separate tables
were provided lor counsel. Canadian
counsel were the first to arrive in the
chamber. They were followed by John
W. Foster, former secretary of state,
and his assistants, who were accompanied
by Ambassador Choate. The commis
sioners came in a few minutes later and
immediately began a private conference,
which resulted in the selection of the
officers ann nt wHi,-h they exchanged cre
dentials ami took the datn required by.
the treaty.
Lord Alverstone in Chair.
Lord Alverstone. after formally »n- I
nouncing that the committee was in ses
sion and stating that he had been select
ed as president an honor which lie high
ly appreciated, ask' 1 ;! counsel when they
desired to begin oral arguments. Sir
Robert B. Finlay, the attorney general
in behalf of the British counsel, suggest
ed that at least two weeks would be re
quired for preparation, to which Judge
John M. Dickinson, representing tlie
American counsel, assented, though he
said the American counsel would be
ready in a week. Lord Alverstone asked
when the oral arguments would be fin
ished and Attorney General Finlay sug
gested October 15. but his lordship re
marked that lie thought a shorter period
was advisable and October 9 was fixed
upon.
The committee tleHded to sit five days

to be In session from 11 a. m. to 4 p. m .
daily, and granted permission for n. J

The American Case. <
The documents covering the American
presentation of the case are comprised '
in three volumes, making a total of ‘
about eleven hundred pages. In addition
there also are two volumes of maps. 1
The largest of the volumes of text con- J
tains the original statement by the Amer
ican commissioners, while one of the 1
mailer volumes presents the American
ounter case in rejoinder to the British
■ase. and the other the argnin-nts of
he American commissioners.
tn the first volume the questions at
ssue, namely, what is Intended to be the
joint of commencement of tlie line of
letnarkation between the United States
iml Canada? What is the Portland
■hnnnel? What course the line shall take
~ t he entrance of that chan-
nel? To -what point of the fifty
sixth parallel the line should be
drawn from the head of Portland
channel’ and other familiar preparations
an- discussed. There also Is extensive
discussion of the extent of the strip
of territory along the coast on the main
land that Russia conveyed to tlie t’nited
States by the treaty of 1867. It appears
from the document that Great Britain
concedes that the line begins at Cape
Muzon.
The United States contends that it 1«

of longitude west of Greenwich, and
that such strip was to be 10 marine

further made that there is no such
mountain range. It also Is urged that
the United States has occupied this strip
of territory ever since Its acquisition
from Russia, and that Russia had con
trolled It since the treatj' of 1825 until
ceded to the United States In 1867. In
its counter statement the American com
mission makes rejoinder to points cov
ered in the presentation of the British
side of the case, which It appears con
tains two or more documents which here
tofore have not been given to the public.
The additional evidence referred to
bears on the negotiations which took
place between Great Britain and Russia
during the years 1823 and 1825, and it is
contended that this new evidence in no
way alters any material contention made
in the original allegation, but that on
the contrary It confirms and strengthens
the position of the United States.
As to Protests.
These documents consist largely of
statements made and letters written by
Mr. Relit, who was nt that time deputy
governor of the Hudson Bay Company,
and it is contended that his letters fully
sustain the assertion that in fixing a
line of demarkatlon the Britisli gov
ernment acted solely in the interests of
that company. The commissioners dis
cuss at some length the claim made by
their opponents that many protests have
been tiled by British officials against
American claim in reference to the
boundary line. They admit that from
time to time there have been informal
representations, but these, they assert,
were in the main witnbut sufficient data
to justify serious consideration. Indeed,
they say that never until after the Klon
dike gold discoveries were made in 1896
did she British government take up the
question seriously. They admit that in
1898 attention was called to the claim
of tlie British government that the 10-
league strip extend'd only from the main
waters of the ocean, hut they say that
this contention was not made absolutely
clear until the British case was delivered
to the present tribunal on tho 2d of May
last.
Tn support of the American contention
that the strip should measure from ti'D
water and from the heads of bays and
inb ts. a number of depositions are pro
duced in connection with the counter case
going to show tho occupation of this strip
Ing settlers from the United States sine-’
1880. Especial effort Is directed toward
showing the control of the countrv about
the head of Lynn canal, including the
sites of the towns of Dyen. Skagway.
AYbite Pass and Lake Bennett. Also stated
that numfrons documents have been pre
served which had been given to Indian
chiefs and others by officials of the
United States showing the presence in tlie
Lvnn canal inlets o r naval and other
authorities of the United States annually
for twenty years after the United State
acquired tho territory. It is contended
that this occupation and control were
known to the Canadian government and
its people.
Discussing tlie boundaries proposed bv
Great Britain, the commission makes ref
erence to the instability of the Canadian
contention on the-point and concludes that
the United States has from time to tirre
of the cess'on or Alaska to the present day
maintained but one interpretation of the
treaty of 1,825. Its position has been open
and known to tho world. It is the same
which was nrosented to tlie tribunal in
its ease and which It now reiterates tn
this counter case.
Study of Maps.
The argument in tlie case is a careful
study of maps, treaties and other docu
ments bearing upon the boundary con
tention and it is intended to drive home
the facts presented in the statements to
which reference lias been made.
Considerable space is devoted to the part
played by tlie Klondike gold discoveries
in arousing Great Britain's interest io
tlie controversy and in this connection
notice is taken of an assertion made by
the British commissioners that the towns
of Dyea and Skagway owed their ex
istence to tlie migration to the Klondike.
They assert, on the contrary, Dyea was
founded in 1886 and Skagway in 1888. They
contradict flatly a contention made by the
British commissioners to the effect that
Canada's claim to the territories at th
read of Lynn canal was at the time well
known to the United States government.

CRANK AFTER SECRETARY HAY
Threatening Letter Written by New
York Photographer.
New York. September s.—Francis M
Beuque, 46 years old. a photographer'
was committed to Bellevue hospital todas
to be examined as to his sanity. Beuque
has been arrested for writing a letter
to Secretary of State John Hay, in which
he threatened the secretary if a. claim
of $41,000 was not paid. Detective Muller,
ol the Washington police force, who
made the arrest, explained that Beuque
had been in the photographic business in
Hamburg, but was compelled to leave
tlie country, selling out his business,
Beuque claimed, at a great sacrifice.'
Ibis was the origin of his grievance,
and his demand was that Secretary Hay
secure his reimbursement from the Ger
man government. Muller said that
Beuque had written letters on this sub
ject to the various presidents and secre
taries of state since the administration
of Harrison, none, however, threatening
in tone until this letter to Secretary Hay.
in which he declared that if Mr. Hay
uid not attend to his claim h-- (Beuque')
would attend to Mr. Hay.
Beuque, who is of respectable dress ■
and manner, expressed satisfaction when
arrested, declaring that publicity would :
aid him In getting the money. When *
asked why he wrote the letter Beuque
replied:
“I want my money. It is what the
German government owes me.”
Magistrate Hornell declared that he
did not believe the man was in his right
mind, and committed him to Bellevue
for examination.
KENTUCKY FIGHT IS OPENED.
Democratic State Campaign Inaugu
rated at Winchester.
Winchester, Ky., September 5.—A crowd
estimated at from seven to ten thousand
was present at the opening of the demo
cratic state campaign here today.
Speeches were made by Governor Beck
ham, Senators McCreary and Blackburn
and Congressman Ollie James. Several
brass bands discoursed music, and spe
cial trains from Cincinnati, Louisville,
Lexington and other places brought large
delegations. All forenoon Governor
Beckham held a reception and was vis
ited by many political leaders from the
various parts of the state. Thousands
of gallons of burgoo were dispensed. At
torney Robert Franklin, of Frankfort,
fresh from the trial of the Goebel mur
der case, attracted much attention.
Governor Beckham said in part:
”1 Intend that the contest shall be an
aggressive, not a defensive one; that the )
people shall be thoroughly acquainted
with the issues involved and that in the
full light of public view the democratic
party, willingly, and republican party,
unwillingly, must stand upon their re
spective records and let the people fudge
between them. This is the policv which
we seek, which we demand, and we In
tend to drag our reluctant adversaries
from the dark recesses of a gum shoe
campaign and make them fight us if they
will in the open light of day. While
they seem to have determined upon a
quiet and secret campaign, relying upon
the newer of a big corruption fund rind
hoping that the democrats may be lulled
Into a sense of over-confidence, we are
determined to compel them to stand up
and assume entire responsibility for the

says:
“Nearly everybody can tell you of a

TORPEDO SINKS BATTLE SHIP
Experiment Is Made on British Ves
sel Belle Isle.
Portsmouth, England. September -I
Tlie old battleship Belle Isle was torpe
doed here today and sank at her moor
ings. For the purpose of experiment a
section had been constructed on the port
side of the Belle Isle representing the
side of a battleship. This was filled with
an American invention, which. It was
claimed, would prevent a ship from sink
ing when th- hull is penetrated below
the water line. When the vessel vas
struck a huge volume of water envelop d
her. she rolled heavily ami then s- ttled
down with a list to port. The Belle r ;.,
will be raised for further experiments.
It is said the damage done to the sh'ps
bottom is extensive.
Vagrancy Act Proving Good Law.
Few 1? emo-ted by the general :--
sembly within r-'cent y, ~ s have attr.ili ,|
so much general attention as the Calvi
vagrancy act. From all over the stat-i
come inquiries about it. and counties in
every section are already beginning
prosi-cute the vagrants vigorously umb
its provisions.
This is evidenced from the fact th-:'
Goode Price, assstant to Secretary of
State Phil Cook, has received orders for
and sent out to different counties in in
state more than sixty certified eopb-s ■>"
tlie vagrancy law Tlie new law will not.
be printed for several weeks yet. ana
many of the counties in the state do
want to wait forth,- printed acts before
putting the vagr.ahcy law to work. This
is why they seeure certified copies form
the office of the secretary of state.
Information comes- from all sections of
th-- state that vigorous prose-.-iit ions ar
being made under the terms of this iaw,
and the idle, vagabond class Is being
driven to cover. The r suit is tb> worth
le s flass is either lei
munity that is prosecuting too vigorous:.-,
under this law, or is securing employment
to make them immune from its pro
visions.
Another favorable effect of the law 1 =
that it is making farm labor mor.- plenti
ful. Worthless negroes who hav-- b< .
hanging around the towns and cities are
hieing themselves to the country district 1
and looking for Jobs in order to ~«. ap.i

lieved tlie scarcity of farm labor no lit
