M V H0HENL0HERET1RES German Chancellor's Resig nation Accepted by Kaiser, VON BULOW MAY SUCCEED HIM as a. condition of acceptance that he shall have perfect freedom to Introduce sweep ing military reforms and to reorganize the entire army.

Prince's "Withdrawal Dae to OI4 Ae and Disapproval of the Em peror's Policy la Oalaa. BERLIN, Oct, JT. The KolnUche Zei tung asserts that Prince Hohenlohe has tendered his resignation as Imperial Chan cellor, and that It has been accepted. According to the same authority, .Emper or William has designated as the retir ing Chancellor's successor Count von Bulow, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Although rumors had been current for several days that Prince Hohenlohe In tended to retire, little credence was given to any of them, since such reports had returned periodically for several years past. The fact Is that neither the For eign Office nor any other government de partment in Berlin knew until this even- Ing of Prince Hohenlohe's retirement and Emperor "William's approval of it. The reasons which Induced the Prince to insist upon retiring were, in the main, simply growing inflrmness and his dls tirct disapproval of Emperor William's personal policy in China. To his Inti mate friends. Prince Hohenlohe during the last three months has repeatedly ex pressed strong criticism upon what he has called the Kaiser's "sentimental and Impulsive interference In the troubles In China." Since the Chinese matters assumed a threatening aspect in June, Prince Ho henlohe has virtually abandoned the du ties and prerogatives with which the con stitution clothes the Chancellor, having vainly endeavored to Inculcate more so ber and dispassionate views regarding the China outrages. Nearly all Summer Prince Hohenlohe was away on his Ger man, Russian and Austrian estates, leav ing the Emperor and Count von Bulow to conduct the policy of the empire to suit themselves. This figureheadism, of course, could not long endure. More over, In addition to Increasing and pro longed fits of somnolence, the Prince has recently displayed exceeding physical weakness. The members of his family have all along been strongly urging him to retire from official life and to pass the remainder of his days In quietude. The final parting with the Emperor was cordial. At supper last evening In Ham burg, the Emperor, after toasting the Prince, thanked him warmly for the services he had Tendered and kissed him on both cheeks. The Kolnlsche Zeitung asserts that Count von Bulow has also been appoint ed Prussian Minister, Resident and For eign Minister. Nothing is known posi tively about Prince Hohenlohe's success or, although general credence Is given to the assertions of the Kolnlsche Zeitung respecting Count von Bulow. The Berliner Tageblatt mentions Prince Eulenberg, German Ambassador at "Vien na: Prince Hohenlohe Langenburg, the Stadtholder at Strassburg, and Duke Trechenberg as possible successors of the Chancellor. Count Hatzfeldt, Ger man Ambassador In London, Is also named. It Is suggested that If Count von Bulow becomes Chancellor, Prince Eulen burg might be assigned to the Foreign Office.

PROBABLY WTIA RECONSTRUCT THE ANTI-EXPANSIONISTS OF 1900WHEN THEIR SKELETONS ARE DUG UP. From Punch. OUR GOLD IMPORTS. London Bankers Believe the Move ment Is Nearly Ended. LONDON, Oct 17. At the meeting of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China today, i the president referred to the bank's Important Interests in the Philippines, and said he viewed with equanimity the transfer of the Islands to the United States, as he anticipated "Anglo-Saxon vigor would create a strong government, crush the rebellion and fos ter commerce." Referring to the Indian currency, the president said the problem was still un solved. He added that although the de sired steadiness in exchange was fairly maintained, the supply of rupees, in the absence of internal demand for gold, proved insufficient and the authorities were compelled to purchase nearly 4,000,000 sterling worth of bar silver during the current year. In order to increase the cir culation. The profit on this would yield the government a surplus of 1,500,000. But whether such an advantageous addi tion to the revenue was desirable from an economic standpoint, was debatable. "Financiers In London who have watched the gold movements In the United States with keen Interest not unmixed with anxiety," he continued, "are convinced that no more gold Is likely to be drawn from England. It is calcu lated here that $17,500,000 gold have gone or Is going to the United States. The last of this amount Is coming from Australia next week. London bankers, basing their theory on America's legal reserve of 25 per cent, say the gold in or on Its way to America should enable all the Immedi ate requirements to be met and should more gold be needed the Bank of France is ready to ship to the United States. But it is not believed the Bank of France will be asked' for any large amounts. These -calculations are responsible for the .drop in the London discount rates, ,-and "the talk of a decreased bank rate. At the same time, the authorities seem to believe that the balance of trade will Temaln in America's favor, but that It -Rill not be drawn in gold sterling bills, perhaps stocks being taken Instead of the unproductive specie." The president admitted that the pro fessional element In Europe has "so un loaded Itself of American securities that it cannot meet large obligations, as It used to, by the revenue of American stocks." "The gold now on Its way to New York from South Africa," remarked the presi dent further, "does not come from any seijret boa, but represents soldiers' savings and expenditures, 'for which 5,000,000 in gold bas been sent from Eng land and the major part of which Is likely to seek circulation in other parts of the world." Schwerln, in the second chamber of the Netherlands Parliament today was greet ed with cheers. The house charged the president to transmit to the Queen its congratulations and thanks for commu nicating the glad event which was of the highest Importance to the dynasty and cbunlry. v African Expedition Massacred. iROME, Oct 17. The Tribune publishes correspondence today from Asmara, southwest of Massowah, describing the massacre of an expedition to Lake Assal. The expedition Is said to have been com posed of British, but It is more likely that the members were French, as the lake is situated In possessions ceded to France by Emperor Menellk, of Abyssinia. It seems that the column, numbering 200 men,, went to Lake Assal to obtain the tax on salt exported. The natives replied that they had no money, but would give cattle. To this the chief of the expedition agreed. Thereupon a large number of na tives entered the camp of the expedition on various pretexts and massacred the disarmed members during blvouack. A second expedition was sent to assist or avenge the first but it is believed that this also met with a similar fate. ' Lightermen's Strike. LONDON, Oct 18. An additional SOO lightermen joined the 1500 now on strike today. There doe's not seem to be any prospect of the trouble being arbitrated. The congestion of boats is now more se ribus. Hundreds of barges of provisions efnd merchandise remain unloaded, block ing traffic seriously and affecting the merchants "who are awaiting the goods. The strikers "will be materially assisted by the -action of a leading merchant, who disapproves of the stand taken by the employers association. He has made a deal direct with the men's union, and hereafter Will do his own lighterage. Last evening, a formal manifesto was Issued by the lightermen's society calling out the remainder of the men. and It is probable that by the end of the week, all the Thames lightermen will have struck.

Silver Republicans' Letter to -Candidate Bryan. ? LINCOLN, Neb., Oct 17. The letter no tifying: William Jennings Bryan of his, nomination by the National Silver Repub lican Convention has been In his posses sion some days, and will be answered tomorrow. The letter recites the manner of Mr. Bryan's nomination; and explains at length that the Silver Republicans are Lincoln Republicans. Copious extracts are made from Lincoln's letters and speeches. Freo coinage is advocated, and militarism denounced. The letter" says In part: "At St Louis the aristocracy controlled and kept the party name without It the campaign of 1886 would have resulted differently. At Chicago the people con trolled and kept the party name. We be lieve the rank and file of voters In all parties are faithful to the true American Ism embodied in the Declaration of Inde pendence, and when freed from party sur roundings, will support and vote for the man representing the rights of the masses. Hot only was the St Louis con vention, as representing the Republican party, false to the party's history, but since that time, having been controlled by the Herods, who seek gain and rule for the few. It has been led still farther away from its early moorings. The growth of trusts under Jts sway; the re ducing of the people's money rights to a banking privilege to be paid for by the people's labor, while the product Is har vested by the few; the concen tration of the Nation's wealth in the hands of the few to the detriment of the welfare and happiness of the many; the subjugation of the people striving to maintain man's God-given rights the right of self-government all these are subversions of Republican democracy, and not merely tend, but actually take part and assist In establishing an Imperialistic power that will, If fostered and developed, cause tp sexist in the near future, upon the ruins of our once fair Republic, an empire, the product of Its greed and ambition. "When we think 250,000 people own three - fourths of the Nation's) wealth; 64,750,000 people own only one-fourth when 52 per cent of the people own not even a home we become alarmed. This showing alone is enough to alarm the great mass of American voters. All. who seek to have the Nation kept In the line of a republic must see It can only be done by not surrendering the control of the country entirely Into the hands of 250,000 people; but that the Executive and lawmakers must be representatives of the 64,750,000 people. "The plea of 'trade must never cover and hide the plea of human rights, for when we disregard the rights of others, we are but schooling them and ourselves to disregard our own rights. "We hereby notify you that at the gath ering of Lincoln Republicans In the Sil ver Republican convention, held on last Independence day In Kansas City, where 1330 truly conscientious delegates were as sembled, as is shown by the prayer spoken by its chaplain of patriotic dele gates, as is Bhown by the faot that the Declaration of Independence was there read and the voice of old Liberty bell was there heard In a poem, "The Bell," there also read of Intelligent, conscien tious, earnest and patriotic delegates, as Is shown by the resolutions adopted; which prayer, Declaration, poem and res olutions we Inclose herewith, and make a part of this letter, you were made their THE TREATMENT THAT CU Dr. Copeland's New Treatment, that has lifted the darkness and blight of the word "incurable" from hundreds of thousands of these cases of diseases in the Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs, works its curative action for two reasons t (1) It reaches every sore spot, from the orifice of the nose to the deepest part of the inngs, to the innermost recesses of the middle ear. (2) Instead of lrritatlngr, lnflamlag and feeding the fires of the disease, it soothes, quiets, heals and cures. What is the treatment that cures these conditions, once regarded Incurable? By what process does it restore the diseased membrane, remove the poison and relieve the soreness of disease? Let the expe rience of persons cured and being cured toll. comes less, and the desire to hawk and spit Is disappearing, the sense of taste Is returning, and the voice again, becomes soft and melodious. There Is no more gagging and vomiting In the morning. No longer does every exposure to the weather result in a stuffed-up throat that becomes sore and inflamed, and no longer does he find his throat and tongue dry as chips when he wakes from refreshing sleep. How It Cures Catarrh. Here !a a patient taking treatment for Catarrh of the Head. He breathes the soothing medication through his nostrils and the nasajf channels open up, the stuffed-up feeling In the head leaves and he. can breathe naturally through the nose again.. The dull pains across the front of the head fade away, and the nasal membrane Is soothedwuntil the In flammation and soreness are all gone. The bad odor of the breath passes away, and the lost sense of smell returns. The dropping In the throat Is checked, the nose does not stop up toward night any more, the sneezing and snuffing have ceased, the discharge from the noso grows less and less and finally stops 'al together. The disease has been checked and eradicated from the system before It ever reaches the throat It has not been driven down Into his throat or into his lungs or into his ears, as is often, done by other treatments. How It Cures Diseases of the Throat. Here la another patient who had Ca tarrh In the Head. He caught cold after cold, and the disease spread down Into his throat He breathes and drinks In the disease-banishing medication. It bathes the membranes of his head and throat The soreness of the head and throat be- How It Cures Deafness. Here Is another patient who for years had been a sufferer. Every fresh cold seemed to stay longer than former colds, and he noticed that his ears got stopped up and his hearing became duller and duller, and there were ringing and buz zing noises in his ears. The Catarrh had passed upward and backward from the throat along the Eustachian tubes leading from the throat Into the ear. He had visited Throat doctors and Ear doctors and Catarrh doctors, without relief. In this condition we find him Inhaling the never-falling medication, and soon ha no tices a change. The noises In, the ears stop, there la no more discharge, the hearing gets better and finally the tubes of the ears open up and something seems to give way In the head. His hearing has completely returned. No wonder he con siders the result a marvel. How It Cures Bronchial Disease Here Is another patient who was always sensitive to the weather. He contracted Catarrh of the Head, and it passed to the Throat then down the Windpipe and Into the Bronohial Tubes. He coughed at night so that he could not sleep; there was pain behind the breastbone and under hia shoulder-blades. When he coughed ho brought up a frothy, grayish material, streaked with blood. He lost appetite and strength. He tried cough syrups and dif ferent medicines to no avail. He now breathes In with full Inspiration the re storing and soothing medicine. The acre spots along the Bronchial Tubes heal, the cough ceases, the pain leaves. The appe tite and strength return. He is again a well and happy man. How It Cures Diseases of the Lungs. Here is another pitiful case. Ha had all the history of colds and catarrh ex tending downward from the nose to the throat to glottis, to windpipe, to the bronchial tubes, and then into the small tubes of the lungs. His cough alwayi troubled him. He raised large quantities of vile-looking material, he had fever every afternoon and could not sleep at night He had no appetite, and hit strength and ambition failed. He- had night sweats every onco in a while and feared that his end was near. See him after a course of treatment. A new man. The healing and soothing medication has time after time sought out every nook of the disease, even to the extreme depth of the lung- cells, and bathed and cooled and healed the mem brane. There are no more ot the foul discharges, no more cough, no more fe ver, no more pain, no more night sweats. The appetite returns, and with It comes back strength and ambition. The checks fill out and regain their color. The step becomes buoyant He has been saved from lingering but absolutely sure death. ifteoe9o Our Specialties Chronic Catarrh in ail its forms, Asthma, Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, Rheumatism, diseases of the stomach, the kidneys, the skin, the nervous system and blood ireaitd at the Copcland Institute at $5 A MONTH Medicines included, untH cured.

The de fense In the Youtsey trial closed its case late this afternoon, and the common wealth began Its rebuttal testimony, which will likely be concluded tomorrow at noon. The feature of the dav was the testimony of Colonel Nelson, one of Yout sey's attorneys, who denied that he had told Arthur Goebel and Colonel Camp bell that "Youtsey knew enough to hang Governor Taylor," but admitted that he did say his client (Youtsey) knew "some thing that would be very beneficial to the commonwealth In the prosecution of leaving of a gun by Youtsey in hi3 office January 27 had no reference to any at tempt to kill Goebel or any one'else. Mrs. Nason said she saw Youtsey on the east steps of the executive building so soon after the shooting that he could not have taken part In It. State Senator Huff said he saw Dick Coombs in the Assistant Adjutant-General's office when the shot was fired and also a few minutes before. Professor J. J. Rucker, a teacher and civil engineer of Georgetown, testified as to his measurements from the window of Powers office to the hackberry tree, and said if the bullet fell 1 13-16 Inches In passing through Goebel, estimating that distance to the foot, the bullet must have started from a point nine feet above the window-sill In Powers office, but If the shot was fired from the second-story window, the bullet would have passed many feet over Goebel's head, if It had fallen 1 1S-1G Inches to the foot.

Where was it?" He turned to answer the question, and found it was Youtsey who had asked it. Ho said he did not see Youtsey enter the room. On crot.s-examInation, he said ho did tell William Ayers, the PIneville attorney, that the night aftef the killing the little red brick building on the Statehouso square was full of armed men, and that by common consent four men were tolled off to each window to do the shooting He denied telling Ayers that the Insults to Kohn and Phelp3 by Bradley and Yout sey before the contest board were pre arranged and done to bring" on a riot for which tho Republicans were prepared. James Howard testified that he was the same Howard who was recently tried and convicted for the murder of William Goebel; thathe never saw Youtsey In his life to know him; never had any talk at any time with Youtsey, nor did he ac company Youtsey to any place or room anywhere at any time; that he was not in Caleb Powers' office the morning of January 30, or In any other room In that building that morning.
