reports from bis bedside this afternoon
-were that his strength was slowly ebbing.
His physicians do not anticipate disso
lution immediately, but practically admit
that, so far as any human agency Is able
to know, death Is certain. The family
have all along been buoyed up with a
taint hope that the Senator might have
greater reserve strength, and be able to
baffle the disease, but today they seemed
to have at last abandoned even this faint
hope, and are awaiting the end. Last
night showed a recurrence of the delirium
of Friday night In fully as pronounced a
form, and none of the family was able
to secure rest during the night. Only

came more pronounced. He was unable
to take much nourishment, and there was
even difficult- in administering the neces
sary medicines.

DISTURBANCE AT WEST POINT
Severe Banishment Ordered for
Three Officers and One Private.
NEW TORK. Nov. 26. A special to the
Herald from "West Point says:
Solltaryconfinement and reduction to the
ranks was the severe punishment ordered
for three officers and one private of the
United States Military Academyafter a re
cent breach of discipline on the "two hun
dredth" night before commencement.
Acting First -Cantata 'Guthrie, of" Colo
rado, for permitting a breach of order
in the mess hall and for subsequent in
subordination, was sentenced by a com
mittee of army officers to solitary confine
ment and the removal of his chevrons.
He was transferred to Company F. Cadet
Commandant D. D. Gregory, of Missouri,
was sentenced to confinement and degral
dation to the ranks. Cadet Lieutenant
"William F. Russell, of New Hampshire, for
breach o fdlsclpline. was reduced to the
ranks. Private Dowd. Cade-t-at-Large, In
the fourth class, was demerited and or
dered to confinement for causing a breach
of discipline in the mess halL
The punishment came for one night's
sport with the "plebs- In the mess hall.
The plebs were ordered to "sound off" the
number of days until June, when the
classmen will become Second Lieutenants
in the Army. In West Point parlance a
"sound off" Is to answer at once the
question put by a superior. In the book
of tactics it is the command given at
dress parade by the Adjutant-General of
the battalion to the band.
When seen last night the superintendent
of the Military Academy said in an in
terview: "The punishment of the cadets was
merely a matter of discipline. They were
punished in the way such breaches are
usually dealt with. It was not a case of
hazing."
Lieutenant Russell, the superintendent,
said, was disciplined for a breach of reg
ulations unassoclated with the disturb
ance in the mess hall.

Canadian Cap Defender.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26. The Times-Herald
says:
Three Chicago yachtsmen have formed
a syndicate to build a defender for
the Canada's cup. The cunning of
an Eastern designer, the skill of an East
era builder, together with the best ot
equipment money can buy will combine to
produce a craft which the prospective
owners believe may worthily represent
the Chicago Tacht Club In the interna
tional race with the Canadian representa
tive. George M. Pynchon, Benjamin Carpenter
and Morrill Dunn, all of whom, have had
considerable experience In sailing upon
the inland lakes, have pooled Interests,
and for several weeks have been schem
ing as to what Ideas would best be Incor
porated in the new craft.
As the class of the yachts competing for
the ..rophy is yet to be determined by the
joint committee of the Royal Canadian
and Chicago Yacht Clubs, plans for de
signs must be held in abeyance. However,
It Is settled a yacht will be built, and It
will be In Lake Michigan by May 1.

CORN ON THE RISE.
It Touched Fifty Cents In Chicago
Rovr at an Elevator.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26. In the ascending
scale of prices paid for November corn
by the belated shorts, a new mark was
touched today 50 cents an advance of 5
cents from the cloee Saturday, and of 3
cents from the best previous price. The
close was 1 cent lower, Phillips bidding
49 cents. The action of the appeals com
mittee in turning down as below contract
grade two cargoes tendered Phillips by
Counselman and Bartlett-Frazer, had the
expected effect of strengtnenlng the po
sition of the bull leader and adding fur
ther worry to the troubles already heaped
upon the shoulders of the shorts. For
the first time In several days, Phillips
took an active hand in the game as an
open bidder for small and large lots.
The opening price was 46 cents, and there
was a gradual advance to 49 cents. Phil
lips taking most of the offerings. The
first bid of CO cents was by Carr for 5000
bushels, and it brought some stop-loss
orders on the market, Phillips filling one
of 5000 bushels for Logan, and making a
number of smaller sales, his sales ex
ceeding his purchases by about 60,000 bush
els. While November gained 4 cents, De
cember was also strong on covering by
shorts, and a big trade, early selling at
36i cents, and closing at 36 cents. May
closed unchanged at 36 cents. There
was some changing from December to
May at U cent premium for December.
Acceptances were heavier, but for de
ferred shipments, and the elevators, dis
heartened by the failure of their attempt
to foist kiln-dried corn on Phillips, were
not In the market for low grades. The
receipts, 57 cars. Included only 51 cars
contract. There were 8000 bushels In by
canal-boat, and 49 cars and 41,000 bushels
transferred from private to public houses,
some of It possibly to be turned down by
the appeals committee later.
A dispute arose over the quality being
loaded on the steamer Pabst at the Coun
selman elevator "C," In South Chicago.
The loading began In the morning with
a different quality of corn from that ten
dered Saturday. It was passed on fa
vorably by Chief Supervising Inspector
Smllle, and accepted by Mr. Phillips' In
spector. Some 20,000 bushels had been
loaded when Mr. SmlUe left the dock and
declared there could be .no objection If
the quality was kept up.
Down on the board of trade, where No
vember corn had risen In the pit to 50
cents, almost as much excitement was
occasioned when Charles Counselman
called Mr. Phillips from the pit. They
were at once surrounded lay a Jostling
crowd of speculators, eager to hear the
conversation. The big elevator specu
lator, towering head and shoulders above
the slight speculator, said to him:
"Mr. Phillips, I don't want to give you
anything but contract corn, and I am
hairing No. 2 corn loaded on your vessel."
"All I ask, Mr. Counselman, Is to get
contract corn, and with that I shall be
perfectly satisfied."
That was the extent of the conversa
tion, hardly belligerent enough to satisfy
the expectations of speculators, but It was
suggestive of an armed truce.
Another engagement was on In a few
hours, for after 65,000 bushels had been
loaded on the steamer at South Chicago,
Phillips' inspector reported that a poorer
quality of corn was being dumped into the
boat. The work of loading was ordered
stopped, and Mr. Phillips went to the
State Grain Department and demanded
that the appeals committee be sent down
to examine the cargo. This committee
could not go then, but will, It Is expected,
look at the corn tomorrow morning.

Receiver for the Guardian Trust.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26. The application of
John W. Gates et aL, for the appointment
of a receiver for the Guardian Trust
Company, was filed In the United States
Circuit Court today. Judge Amos Thayer
reserved his decision. It Is alleged In the
affidavits accompanying the petition that
the Guardian Trust Company is being
mismanaged by President A. E. Stlllwell;
that Its funds are being used to promote
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Rail
way. President Stlllwell and other officers of
the company say that Its affairs are In
excellent condition, and deny the charges
made In the petition. It is asserted by
Mr. Stlllwell that the application for a
receiver Is a personal attack on him by
John W. Gates to oust him from the con
trol ot the Guardian Trust Company and
to ruin the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
enterprise.
Bryan Will Talk.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26. Before Mr. Bryan
left for his home in .Lincoln, Neb., it is
said he gave assurances that he would
be present at the Jackson Day banquet
to be held in this city January 8. Other

Is believed that one of them will b Cato
Bells, of Iowa. Mr. Sells was to have
spoken at the last banquet held In the
Tremont House, but as he was alighting
from the carriage that brought him from
the Sherman House he slipped and fell so
severely that he sprained his side, and
was confined to his bed in the Tremont
House during the remainder of the even,
ing, and for several days following. It Is
thought that at the coming banquet Mr.
Bryan will declare himself on the future
of the party.

KITCHENER TO COMMAND
SLATED
AS THE' SUCCESSOR
LORD ROBERTS.
OF
Proclamation Appointing; Hin "Will
Be Issued When" the Field Marshal
Fixes His Date of Retnra.
NEW YORK. Nov., 26.-Accordlng to
the London correspondent of the Tribune,
a proclamation has already been printed
appointing Lord Kitchener to the com-mandershlp-in-chief
of the British forces
in South Africa, In succession to Lord
Roberts, but owing to the postponement
of the departure of the Field Marshal
for home. It has not yet been made pub
lic The proclamation will be issued im
mediately after Lord Roberts can fix a
definite date for his return. It
is expected that he will relinquish
the command about December 20, and In
the event of Lord Methuen not coming
back until the operations are finished, it
Is said that Lord Kitchener will receive
the temporary rank of General In addi
tion, to the substantive one of Lleutenant
General. If a statement that the Treasury ob
jects to a request by Lord Roberts for
20,000 more troops on the ground of ex
pense should be verified, there will be a
howl of Indignation from all parts of the
country. The average Englishman has
the utmost faith In Lord Roberts, and
would prefer to have his wishes carried
out, no matter what the cost might be.
British veterans In comfortable corners
of military clubB In London consider that
the war has been over for some time, but
that the truth has not been recognized
by Lord Roberts, who continues to Issue
long bulletins day after day, which are
posted in the War Office, and transferred
to the newspapers. Some of the most
astute officers in London state that his
policy will be abandoned as soon as Gen
eral Kitchener succeeds to the command.
There will be a proclamation affirmlnc
that the Dutch territories are completely
occupied and at peace, and there will be
a suspension of the dally bulletins from
headquarters recording petty skirmishes
and Insignificant acts of brigandage,
which cannot be classed as Incidents of
real warfare.
Suoh police work as remains will pass
without observation, and the Boers them
selves will be convinced that the war is
at an end when they perceive that there
la no longer any notice taken of .what
goes on there.

STEER CLEAR.
Steer clear of the boodler In medical
practice. Do not stand in awe of the
doctor who feels your pulse and then
shakes his head to frighten you over your
condition and make You pay 10 times over
what his services are worth. The medi
cal profession, like every other profession,
has its pretenders, its mountebanks, its
merciless Impostors. The nominal assess
ment system In vogue at the Copeland In
stitute is the Invalid's protection from the
wolf and the boodler In medicine. Five
dollars a month, medicines included, for
the most effective treatment known.
PROTECT THE WEAK
The fame of the Copeland medical sys
tem Is based on the two-fold service It ha3
rendered to society.
First, in the evolution of more enlight
ened methods of disease treatment, It has
added chronic catarrh, deafness, epidemic
la grippe, asthma, bronchitis, kidney
trouble and incipient consumption to the
medical list of curable Infirmities, while in
less virulent ail
ments it has
perceptibly re
duced the peri

requisite to their cure. It has ended the
nonsense of life-long doctoring for dis
eases that promptly yield to correct diag
nosis, followed by correct treatment.
Second, the Copeland system has given
the public Its first great lesson in medical
economy. By limiting the expense outlay
of patients to $5 a month, medicines In
cluded, until cured (and no patient is ever
permitted to pay more). It has bared the
public eye of the devilish iniquity and
crime of bleeding the unfortunate sick
with preposterous fees.
And, while exposing the boodler in med
icine to the angry suspicion of the world,
it saves the Invalid from becoming their
prey, because. If there Is no statute law
preventing a dishonest doctor from charg
ing a dishonest fee, neither Is there law or
necessity for the sufferer, with the Cope
land system before him, to become a dupe
and pay the fee. He don't have to.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. The editor of
the British and 'South African Export
Gazette has been stirring up the British
and South African public on the fact that
American manufacturers are making
rapid headway In the markets of Africa.
In a letter to the leading publications
In London and republished In the British
and South African Export Gazette of No.
vember, 1900, Just received by the Treas
ury Bureau of Statistics, he says:
"For tho information of your readers, I
append herewith a lengthy list of some
orders lately executed, or now being ex
ecuted In America" for Cape Colony. My
data may not be exact as to quantities.
etc., but the fact remains that such orders
have been or are In process of being ex
ecuted: "In December, 1897, American makers
had In hand orders for 60 saloon carriages
for the equipment of the eastern section
of tho Cape Government Railway, and In
that month six 50-ton locomotives were
delivered at the Cape Government rail
way works from the Baldwin Works of
Messrs. Burnham, Williams & Co., Phil
adelphia. "In March, 1896, six Improved Pullman
cars were landed at Cape Town for the
Cape Government Railway.
"In July, 1900, several Baldwin locomo
tives were delivered at Cape Town In
part completion of Capo Government con.
tracts. In that month, according to the
general manager of the Cape Government
Railway, there were still 39 engines and
about 160,000 sterling worth of trucks
and other rolling stock on order In Eng
land and America. Four engines built by
Messrs. Dickson & Co., Philadelphia, for
the Selatl Railway, have been acquired
by the Cape Government, and are now
running on the Wynberg branch.
"In September, 1900, the Union Switch
& Signal Company, of Pittsburg, U. S.
A., had In hand a large order for special
frogs and switches for the Cape Gov
ernment railways, and several sldetank
engines from the Baldwin Works were
dally expected to be delivered at Cape
Tcwn for the railways.
Jn September, 1900, the Pressed Steel
Car Company, of Pittsburg, U. S. A.,
had In hand an order for the Cape Gov
ernment railways for several steel plat
form cars ol 4 tons capacity.
"Apart from thes" Items It Is significant
that for the year ending June 30, 1899,
the United States of America shipped 40,
691 tons of steel rails to South Africa
(value, 160,000), as against 3105 tons
(value, 13,141) In the previous year. In
the estimates of the Cape Government for
the current year the sum of 645,802 Is
pu down for rolling stock, locomotives.

etc , but nothing Is, of course, said as to I
where these largo orders will be placed. I
"I do not altogether blame the Cape
Colony for thus diverting a large share
of Its orders to other countries, for it is
notorious, as Sir Walter Peace has re
marked, that, as time la now the essence
of the contract, British engineering firms
have been and are unable to accept them,
the work already In hand being more
than they can overtake. Price, too, Is
an Important factor, and especially Is
tnis so with railway material, locomotives
and trucks, which cost considerably less
In the United States than in the United
Kingdom. It Is, however, Impossible to
overlook the fact that many 'Important
orders have gone to America from the
Capo that could have been placed In this
country had efforts been made to this
end; and, rightly or wrongly, a suspicion
exists In the minds of manufacturers that
Is entirely due to the antl-Brltlsh ten
dencies of some of the Cape's officials.
Whatever the reason, the empire at large
will agree that It Is disgraceful that other
countries should receive the advantage of
the unparalleled sacrifices we have made
In the Boer war; and wlille admitting
that governments, like individuals, must
be guided by business prudence, It will
certainly be lamentable If every effort be
not strained to check the tendency to
favor the foreign manufacturer at the
expense of his British competitors.
"There is one way whereby the tender
system leads to the diversion of orders
to America, even despite the good Inten
tions of the colonial governments. This
Is In case where no stipulations are In
serted In the contracts that the material
employed shall be ordered of British man
ufacturers. Quite recently an order for
rails for a Natal municipality found its
way to the Lorain Steel Company, Johns
town. Pa., In this way, wholly. It is per
missible to believe, against the Intentions
of the municipal authorities, and possi
bly against the Intentions of the contrac
tors, who had probably based their esti
mate on the lower American cost."

PRINCIPLE
STEER CLEAR.
Steer clear of patent cure-alls! To try
to attack a hidden disease by means of a
secret cure-all nostrum Is the same piece
of Insanity as for an Invalid to go blind
fold Into a drug store and eat medicine
from the shelves, without guidance to
what Is good and without warning against
what Is bad. Nor Is there any abuse or
folly against which the Copeland nominal
fee system is more directly aimed. With
expert Individual treatment at $5 a month,

.tatlon or necessity to tamper with secret
cure-alls?
PATENT CURE-ALLS
Their Use Invariably Dangerous and
Asalnat Common Sense.
When any person uses a patent cure-all
as a means of self-doctoring for any par
ticular disease la grippe, catarrh, lung
trouble, for Instance he assumes tho risk
of firing at random through his whole
body to take the chances of hitting tho

Is driving at his heart when the disease Is

the disease Is In his liver. Whether he
commits suicide or not, he commits a
blunder and a folly, and goes against
common sense at his own risk and his own
expense.
It has been claimed that

alls. Under the nominal assessment sys
