FEAR-OF A .RUPTURE
JAPAX ACCEPTS THE'LATEST DEC
LAKATION OP RUSSIA.
The Russian Minister at Pekin Has
w Adopted a Policy Intimidation.
Meeting o Envoys.
WASHINGTON, April 10. The Japanese
liinlBter, Mr. Takahlra, today received
official advices from the Foreign ;0fice
at Toklo, entirely dispelling the -alarming
reports of a Russo-Japanese xtlpture,- and
showing: that the Japanese Government
accepted the latest declaration oCRusala
regarding Manchuria with the same sense
of satisfaction that It had been received
witb la ;the United-States. Mr.Takahira
called at the State Iepartment and in
formed Secretary Hay of the gratifying
turn of events.
The position of Japan, as now defined
In the highest official quarters, Is prac
tically the same as that of fhe United
States. A copy of the recent Russian
communication was delivered to Japan at
v. coma -Mm it- -was riven to this gov
ernment. Although the texts differ slight-.
Jy, .they are aiiKe an an nyiwyi "
The Japanese Government now makes
amowA tbat.lt,accepts the declaration as
made In entire good faith, and, like the
United States, Is satisfied to leave the
Manchuria question in Its present status.
The assurances given by Russia are of,
such a character that the Japanese au
thorities confidently- look forward to a
oourse'of- action which will remove tne
perplexity and dangers in which the -issue
has been Involved thus ft. As the
other powers already naYe indicated their
acceptance of the Russian declaration, the
course of Japan removes the last possi
bility of division and appears to restore
the harmonious concert which has thus
far proceeded in -dealing with China.
THE BOXER UPRISING.
ItVV Kot Especially AntI-MUIon-
ary.
NEW YORK, April 10. The annual re
port of the American Bible Society, rela
tive to the situation in China, will con
tain the following interesting statement
from Its agent In China, the Rev. John
R. Hydes, D. !.. ,,,
- "There was a deep and cunningly laia
'plot, under"imperjal sanction, no extirpate
Christianity, expel -all foreigners and de
stroy ail foreign interests. No one oK
-rtned the full extentof the Iniquity which,
was deliberately contemplated.
, "In all, 183 Protestant missionaries, in
cluding sixty men, seventy-five 'women
and forty-eight children have been mas
sacred. "With the exception of the mas
sacres at Eu Choo, In Che Klang, In
which eleven persons were killed,, and at
Heng Choo, in Su Nan, all of these
deaths occurred in the Northern pro
vinces. "The question has been raised at home
as to whether the Boxer .uprising was
anti-foreign or anti-missionary in its
character. No doubt exists In the .mind
of any well-informed person in' China.
The movement was -undoubtedly against
foreigners, as such, and the crusade was
declared against everything foreign
Christianity, of course. Included. Hsu
Chlng Cheng and Yuen Chang, two Min
isters of the Foreign 0ce, would not
transmit the awful edict which reiterated
the order to 'painfully extirpate all for
eigners,' but changed it so as to read,
protect all foreigners and then sent
it flying over the wires to the remotest
provinces. They were sentenced to be
cut in two. Missionaries were the class
that benefited by this act of heroism.
The fact that every missionary escaped
from1 fourteen out of the eighteen pro
vinces would indicate that the crusade
was not specially antl-mlaslonary.
"The scriptures destroyed will aggre
gate not less than 100,000 volumes, and
the actual loss to the society will not be
less than S0Q0 or 10,000 gold dollars, in
cluding the necessary expense of get
, ting workers to places of safety and back
iagain to their stations. More than 40,000
"native converts (including Roman Cath
olics) met death with a heroism worthy
of the best age of the church."
RUSSIAN INTIMIDATION.
De Giers, the Minister at Pekin,
Adopts Xcxv Tactics.
"LONDON, April JL"JJL de Giers de
mands the return of all communications
to the Chinese authorities from the Rus
sian Legations regarding the Manchurlan
negotiations," says Dr. Morrison, wiring
to the Times from Pekm, "and he has
warned Li Hung Chang that instead of
being as heretofore an advocate of the
Chinese cause in the conference of the
Ministers of the powers, he will hence
forth support the policy of the utmost
severity. Russia has still ample means to
indulge this spirit. The report is current,
but I believe that It Is premature, that
Russia has already prepared a fresh form
Of convention. Doubtless when the pro
cess of intimidation has been carried far
enough, a fresh attempt will be made to
recover the lost ground."
Dr. Morrison draws a gloomy picture
of the situation and urges the necessity
of withdrawing troops before' the hot
rainy season sets in, adding that unless
orders for withdrawal arrive before May
It will be almost impossible to move be
fore Autumn. He says competent ob
servers helieve the anti-foreign feeling in
Chi Li is more prevalent than ever."
Coolness Between Germans.
BERLIN. April 10. "England is intri
guing in Pekin," says a dispatch to the
frankfurter Zeltung from the Chinese
capital, "to secure the substitution of
Prince Su for Prince Chun in the Journey
to Berlin, and she wishes to combine
Prince Su's trip for that purpose with
the Chinese special embassy to London
to tender the Emperor's congratulations
to King .Edward. A perceptible coolness
has arisen between Count von Walder
see and Dr. Mumm von Schwarzenstein,
principally because the Commander-in-Chief
has refused to order the troops
to render the Minister military "honors,
as to do so would be fcontrary to German
army instructions." The same corres
pondent asserts that the reports of the
outbreaks of a rebellion are not credited
In Pekin.
Revulsion fn Japan.
YOKOHAMA, April 10. The Nlshni
Eshl, a leading newspaper, whichreflects
the government's views, applauds Rus
sin's Judgment and love of peace, and
says the great desideratum now Is the I
restoratlqn to the Chinese Gpvernment of
effective authority,, adddlng:
"Russia cannot justly be condemned for
the adoption of measures to protect
Tights acquired"' in Manchuria. Under the
present conditions the duty of preserving
order in Manchuria wqjfld devolve upon
those responsible for Russia's withdraw
al. It would not conduce to Japan's in
terest to accept such a responsibility."

extensive work now being .carried on,
the degree of completion having ad
vancedfrom 1 to per cent on the vari

0,f the nine battle-ships now under con
tract four of them are well along, the

OPPOSED TO CREMATION.
Practice Disapproved by the Catho
lic Church.
MONTREAL, ApriTlO. A pastoral let
ter from Archbishop Bruchesl has been
read in all the Roman Catholic churches
of this diocese, and interesting references
were made in it to the recent decision in
the Delpit case and to the action of the
Legislature in granting to the Mount Roy
al Cemetery the power to cremate bodies
in place of burying them, if so desired.
As to the former, the archbishop merely
restates the attitude of the church on
mixed or irregular marriages which can
not be affected by the judgment of civil
tribunals and warns all communicants
not to offend at the risk of severe ecclesi
astical penalties.
With respect to cremation, the arch
bishop's declaration Is of greater inter
est, since he virtually censures the Legis
lature for granting the request of the
Mount Royal Cemetery Company, which
is a Protestant organization. The arch
bishop cited, the ruling of the church on
the subject, quoting Pope Led XIII's con
demnation of the practice in his letter to
the bishops in May, 1886, and Cardinal
Richards' vigorous denunciation In a pas
toral letter of February, 1890.

CABLE LAYING IN PHILIPPINES.
Burnside Is to Continue the Work of
Connecting the Islands.
WASHINGTON, April 10. The report
from Manila, that the cable-ship BurnsjdB
is to continue laying cables In the Philip
pines, connecting the islands with Manila,'
revives Interest in the- protest made by
the Eastern Extension Company, which
now controls the cable from Hong Kong
to Manila, against the laying of cables in
the islands. This protest was considered
by the State, War and Jdstice Depart
ments of this Government, and It wiw de
termined, after an opinion py the Attor
neyGeneral, that the reservation by
which the Spanish Government granted
the Eastern Extension Company exclusive
rights in cable construction allowed the
United States Government to continue Its
cable connection. This reservation decid
ed that the Spanish Government could lay
cable for state purposes. As the cable
being laid by the War Department is for.
the use of the military authorities In gov
erning the islands, it was the opinion that
this meant as "state purposes" in the
Spanish concession. The cable company
concession was granted just before the
American-Spanish War, and runs 40 years.
While the company makes no strenuous
objections to the laying of cable for pure
ly Government purposes, It has served
notice that Jt would protest emphatically
should the cable be used for commercial
purposes. The company offered to" relin
quish its franchise upon payment of, $25,000
a year for the life of the grant. This
proposition has not been received with
particular favor by the United States
authorities. Meanwhile, cable tolls aie
quite high, especially upon messages sent
from here to Manila, the rate being $2 25 a
word on messages going to the Philip
pines, while the rateds $1 79 on messages
from Manila to the United States.

DEWEY'S FLAGSHIP OLYM PI A CAPTAIN GRIDLEY, COMMANDER.
Mrs. GrldleVj mother of Captain Gridley, who was irt command
of Dewey's flagship, at the destruction of the Spanish fleet at
Manila, says of our remedy, Peruna:
"At the solicitation of a friend I used Peruna, and can truthfully
say it Is a grand tonic and is a woman's friend, and should be used
in every household After using it for a short period I feeMike a new
person."
Mrsl LonEstreet Is the -wife of the fa
mous Confederate General, Lieutenant
General James Longstreet, the only living-
ex-Confederate officer of that rank.
She writes as follows to The Peruna Med
icine Co.:
"I can recommend your excellent rem
dy, Peruna, as one. of the best tonics, and
for those who need a good, substantial
remedy, I know of nothing better. Besides
being a good tonic it Is an effective cure
for catarrh.' Mrs. James Longstreet.
Hon. Lucius E. Gridley, brother of Cap
tain Gridley, also speaks a good word
Hon. Lucius E. Gridley.
for Peruna. In a letter written from 1511
T street, Washington, D. C, he says:
The Peruna Medicine Co.. Columbus, O.:
"Gentlemen: Your Peruna has been
thoroughly tested in my family. . My
mother and wife used it with the very best
results, and I take pleasure In recommend
ing it to all who want a good, substantial
remedy, both as a tonic and a catarrh
cure." Lucius E. Gridley. .
and the manufacturers may make a fair
profit at that price. An experimental plate,
manufactured by an entirely new process,
has recently been shipped from Pittsburg
to the naval ordnance proving ground at
Indian Head to bo subjected to the regu
lation ballistic test. Upon the result of
this test will depend further experiments
Which may result In the adoption by tho
Government of this new armor Instead of
that for which the Navy Department is
now paying at the rate of $155 a ton.
If the new armor Is a success and can
be sold at $150 a ton. It will mean a sav
ing to the Government of $305 on each ton
of armor. On a battle-ship of the Ala
bama class, carrying 2600 tons of armor,
this would mean a clear saving to tho
Government of $793.000.
Catarrh
The best authorities say; is adiseaso
of the blood.
Therefore local applications cannot
cure.
Being a constitutional disease it
requires a constitutional remedy
Hood's Sarsaparilla. -
By thoroughly purifying the blood,
this great medicine reduces the in
flammation of the mucous membrane
and stops all catarrhal discharges of
the nose, throat, stomach, bowels,
bladder and generative organs.
Catarrh is especially dangerons in
persons who inherit or have acquired
a predisposition to consumption.
In these and all other catarrhal cases,
Hood's Sarsaparilla so thoroughly ren
ovates the blood and restores strength
and vigor that it permanently cures.
In fact, because of the character of
the disease, and the peculiar merit of
the remedy, Hood's Sarsaparilla is the
common-sense treatment for catarrh.
" I was a sufferer from nasal catarrh, grad
ually growing worse. I began taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla which- completely
cured me of that troublesome disease."

T have now used it for about three

I believe I am perfectly cured, and do
not hesitate to give unstinted praise to

Every organ of the body is Habe to
catarrh. Symptoms of catarrh differ
according to the part affected. If the
catarrh Is confined to the nose the symp
toms Will bo sneezing and mucous dis
charges, or the formation of dry scabs,
corresponding to the stage of the disease.
When in the pharynx it causes hawk
ing, enlarged follicles and tonsils! and
sometimes deafness. In the larynx it
produces hoarseness, and often loss of
voice. As soon as it reaches the trachea
and bronchial tubes, cough, with abund
ant mucous expectoration, ensues.
Upon reaching the lungs catarrh speed
ily causes consumption, and all of tho
symptoms of that dread disease follow
sooner or later. Catarrh also attacks tho
urinary tract, producing in the kidneys
