THE MOBNING OREGONIAN, THTTRSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1901 it porfobello Bombarded GUNBOAT PINZOK FIRED OX THE COLOMBIAN TOWX. Several Homea of the Place "Were Wrecked Progress o Alban'a March Toward Colon. COLON, Nov. 27. An American named Murphy relates the following story, cor roborating the report that the Colombian gunboat General Ylnzon fired on Porto Bello. Monday morning Murphy -was In an pen boat, bound for Playadonna, on a mining excursion. Besides himself there were three Chinese and a Colombian ne gro In the boat, which was commanded by the colored man. Whc they were pass ing Porto Bello a boat containing sol diers from the PInzon, then at anchor off Porto Bello, captured Murphy and his companions. After they had been made prisoners and while on their way to the gunboat the General PInzon fired many shots at Porto Bello. On arriving on board the gunboat Murphy learned that no less, than 50 shots had been fired at Porto Bello. He also says that from the gunboat one or two of the largest houses I of the place could be plainly seen to have Ibsen wrecked. Men from the General I I PInzon, who went ashore at Porto Bello, aald the town was evacuated. rot a sin gle Liberal was to be seen anywhere. Murphy asserts that explosive bullets were used by the Liberals, as the bullet brought on board the PInzon was sub sequently exploded. Murphy was handed over to the officers of the United States gunboat M arietta, when the PInzon re- lurnea 10 uion. The report that the government troops bridge turns out to be Incorrect. In a skirmish at Buena Vista last night tne i government troops loBt ground somewhat and retreated to Tabernllla, losing 6000 cartridges. The government forces now occupy Tabernllla, which Is on the Colon side of Barbacoa. General Solamayor, with 250 men, commanded the Liberal forces at Barbacoa bridge. Good author ities hold that 20 men should have been able to prevent the government troops from crossing the bridge. Solamayor's conduct is everywhere denounced. - He seems to have sheltered himself and to have supervised nothing personally, hence the reckless waste of ammunition which caused the eventual retreat of the Lib erals, who lost less than a dozen men yesterday. General Domingo Diaz and General Lugo have not yet arrived here with their troops. The following dispatch has been re ceived from Panama! "The Colombian gunboat Boyaca was dispatched Tuesday with GO soldier, for Chamo or its vicinity, where it was said a party of Liberals, under General Torres, has received quite recently a fresh supply of arms and ammunition. San Paolo and Barbacoa are known here to be Liberal strongholds and places very easy to ce fend, while to cross the bridge spanning the Chagres River, now swollen, was next to impossible for an attacking force. Tne reason the Liberals abandoned Barbacoa Is not made clear. The death rate on the government side was very great, many bodies falling Into the river. An attempt was also made to make a detour on the river in boats, but the boats capsized and many were drowned. General Castro com mands the government force at Barbacoa, The General tried to get a train yester day morning to convey 200 men to the scene of the engagement at Barbacoa, but Captain Perry, of tne Iowa, saia that not a single armed man would be allowed to entrain. The feeling here against foreigners, particularly Ameri cans, runs high. A special train at Pan ama to convey General Alban, alone and unarmed, awaited the arrival for hours of the morning train from Colon, but on the arrival of the latter here at 6 o'clock in the evening, bringing 40 wounded men among whom were several officers, with the news thatlb.6 government troops "had victoriously crossed the bridge at Bar hacoa, the special train was not dis patched and- General Alban remained at Panama. At 8:30 P. M. yesterday a large procession, headed by a band of musi cians, marched In an orderly manner all over the City of Panama, shouting Gen eral Alban's praises and claiming that a death blow had been given the Liberal cause In this department." It was learned on the highest authority this afternoon that General Jefferics is with General Alban on the Colon side or Barbacoa, and that 300 men from Panama ere now marching to Join them. CAPTAIN PERRY'S REPORT. Action Taken to Protect Railroad Traffic. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Secretary Long today received the following cable gram from Captain Perry, of the Iowa: "Panama, Nov. 27. Secretary of the Navy, Washington: Stubborn fighting between contending forces yesterday near San Pablo. Delayed trains requiring pru dence and patience. There probably will be fighting today near Gatun. I have se cured assurances that firing shall cease while trains are passing. Forty wounded Colombians brought In on trains last right All cared for by Dr. Klndleb'erger. "PERRY." A cablegram received at the State De partment from United States Consul-Gen-eral Cudger, at Panama, says: "There was a good deal of fighting yes terday along the line, in which the govern ment zorces were generally successful. Trains delayed." Later in the day the State Department received another dispatch from Cudger, showing that the difficulties in train serv ice had been overcome. Mr. Cudger says: "Traffic moving unmolested." The Colombian Minister to the United States, Dr. Martinez Silva, who went to Mexico City to attend the congress of American Republics, has decided to re turn to "Washington at once. He left Mexico City this morning. Some signifi cance is attached to this action, and It is assumed that the rather critical condition of affairs on the Isthmus leads the Co lombian Government to desire his services at "Washington. The Colombian Charge d'Affatfes, Mr. Herran, was in conference with the State Department officials today. He had a dispatch from General Alban, the government commander on the Isth mus, saying: "The rebels, after having been defeated at Emperador, returned to San Pablo, and I am closely pursuing them." The return of Minister Silva to "Wash ington may bring here General Reyes, who has been urged to assume the Presidency. Dlplomntlc Relations Severed. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. According to tne Bogota, Colombian .correspondent of the Herald, the Colombian Government has issued a decree declaring that diplomatic relations with "Venezuela have ceased, and that the Colombian Legation in Car acas has been withdrawn. Senor Concha, Minister of War, says the government has SOJOOO men armed for action. The Port of Spain. Trinidad, corre spondent of the Herald cables as fol lows: "Advices from Venezuela say that two battalions In Caracas which mutinied against President Castro are reported to have heen subdued." Kllpatrlck's Defense. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 21. Ex-Governor Charles P. Johnson, a noted criminal law yer, has been employed by Ben Kilpatrlck, under arrest here, charged with having in his possession forged bills on the Na tional Bank of Helena, and who Is sus pected of complicity in the Wagner rob bery. Said the Governor: "The charge of forging will not stick, for there is no forgery. The names of the bank officers were not written thereon. The names written were purely fictitious, and the bank cotes that he had in his possession signed by those fictitious names are not United States obligations, ,for the fact that the correct names of the officials of the bank are required to make them Gov ernment obligations." DELEGATE WILCOX'S MISSION "Will Try to Secure a Fortune of $13, 000,000 for Marshal Key's Grandson. HONOLULU, Nov. 20, via Victoria, B. C, Nov. 27. The Star says: "Delegate Wilcox goes to Washington charged with a bigger mission than that of getting $10,000,000 in appropriations -or the Territory- of Hawaii. This mission is to get a $13,000,000 fortune for Emil Ney, grandson of Marshal' Ney, the 'first soldier of France.' "Emil Ney has been In Honolulu some years, and Is well known here. He is now a bailiff in the First Circuit Court. He is one of three children of a son of Marshal Ney. His claim will be brought up be fore the Senate foreign relations commit tee by Delegate Wilcox. The Ney for tune, which efforts are being made to recover, was taken by the French Gov ernment at the time when the famous Marshal was ordered executed. It was ordered restored during the '30s, however. It came into possession of Ney's other son. known as the Prince of Moscow, who dlea a bachelor in Paris in 1S82. Th2 for- tune was then held in trust by one Count de la Vatary, and Emil began efforts to recover through Levi P. Morton, then Minister to France. A great deal of doc umentary evidence was secured, but many of the documents were destroyed, Ney says, in the Baldwin Hotel fire, having been In possession of Henry E. Highton, a well-known San Francisco lawyer." The native Republican party of Hono lulu has passed a strong resolution in favor of the re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion act. The longshoremen have or ganized a political party to urge in the same direction. A steamer is to be built by the Wilder Steamship Company, at a cost of $250,000, to run between Honolulu and Hllo. News comes from Tonga that a schoon er carrying a wedding party of 40 people, men, women and children, to Nelafu, was wrecked, and all were drowned. There has been a recurrence of the bu bonic plague In Honolulu. A passenger says that two deaths occurred, a Jap anese and a Chinaman, and that 10 more cases exist in the city. The purser says he "heard of but two cases and that no scare has arisen over It. A gentleman, who has resided In Honolulu for eight years, denies 'the report in toto, but there seems to be some ground for it. The press correspondents do not mention the report in their letters. THE WRECKED FOUNDRY. Death List From the Detroit Acci dent Will Reach Twenty-nine. DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 27. When the search of the ruins of the Penberthy In jector Company's plant, wrecked by a boiler explosion yesterday morning, was completed tonight, the death Jlst had reached a total of 29. All but two of the company's employes have been located, and as these men worked in the front building, which was not wrecked, it is thought that they are at their homes. The men's addresses ore not on the com pany's books, so It may be some time be fore they are located. At 6 o'clock to night the searchers finished the work of turning the debris. Only two bodies were found today, both of which were terribly mangled.' The Prosecuting Attorney this afternoon began an examination into the cause of the explosion. President Cooley, of the University of Michigan, who has been asked by Prosecutor Hunt to make an expert examination of the wrecked boiler, came in from Ann Arbor this afternoon, and will begin his examination tomorrow.

Emperor "William's Investigation of the Case Lansdovrac Talks of the Isthmian Canal. BERLIN, Nov. 27. The Reichstag elect ed Count Stolberg Wernlglgerode to be first Vice-President of the House, suc ceeding Dr. Von Frelg-Weltzlen, who has resigned. Herr Bassermann, National Liberal, In terpellated the Government regarding the recent fatal duel In which Lieutenant Blaskowltz was killed. He asked whas the Government was doing to prevent du els In the future. Minister of War von Gossler said that when Lieutenant Blas kowltz offered to apologize the Council of Honor ought to have arranged a compro mise. The Emperor had very carefully In vestigated the matter and had reached the conclusion that the object and spirit of his order concerning officers courts or honor had not been observed. His MaJ- UNITED STATES BATTLE-SHIP NOW PROTECTING AMERICAN INTE RESTS AT esty had given a strong and definite ex pression of his opinion and had per emptorily commanded that full effect should hereafter be given to this order. General von Gossler added: '"We can only be very grateful to the Emperor for having, with his wonted en ergy, indicated the right course to be pur sued. An official, like any citizen, is sub ject to the penal provisions of the law. The army is not the nursery of duels. In 1897 there were four .duels in the army, in 1898 three, in 1S99 eight. In 1900 four, and in 1801 five duels. This shows that a good tone predominates among the offi cers. ' In civilian circles a duel is not regarded with the seriousness with which it is viewed in the army. We must pub licly recognize the fact that officers as a rule meet insults with dignity and com posure." THE ISTHMIAN CANAL. Lansdorrne States the Objects Eng land Hopes to Secure. LONDON, Nov. 28. The Marquis of Iansdowne, Secretary of State for For eign Affairs, speaking at Darlington last night, referred to the extraordinary keen ness of the competition for the world's market as affording the greatest preoc cupation In questions of foreign policy. Referring to the negotiations with the United States, Lord Lansdowne said: "We desire to maintain the most cordial relations with the United States, and, like out brothers across the ocean, we re gard the distinguished man who has suc ceeded to the Presidency of the United States with the friendliest feelings." With reference to the isthmian canal ne gotiations, Lord Lansdowne expressed himself as happy to be able to say that a new chapter had been opened. Both governments were at this moment en gaged in fresh negotiations, concerning which he could only Bay the omens seemed propitious. "Throughout the negotiations," continued the speaker, "the question has been discussed from both sides in no nar row or one-sided spirit, but with a genu ine desire on our part that this great en terprise should be conducted to a success ful end; that the principle of the neutral ity of the canal, for which we have con tended, should be maintained; that the canal should be open and free to the commerce of the whole world, and that these objects should be achieved under conditions honorable and convenient to both sides alike." British Claims In Central America. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. David Mills, Minister of Justice In Canada, contributes In the December number of the Empire Review an historical examination of the British territorial claims In Central Ameri ca prior to the Clayton-Bulwer convention and tho unusual course of the United States In questioning the validity of the rights of British settlers, cables the Lon don correspondent of the Tribune. He contends that It was a great mistake for the British Government to enter into any stipulations respecting its own territories in Central America, and that the United States had no territorial Interests there and no base of public laws for discussing and limiting the British claims to Brazil, where industrial operations had been con ducted tor two centuries. The Minister's argument Is luminous, and the facts are stated In excellent tem per, but the bearing of both Is against tho Clayton-Bulger convention rather than the revision of the treaty for the practical purpose of facilitating the con struction of the canal. The trend of public opinion remains strongly in the di rection of the settlement of the canal question on any terms which would enable the American Government to construct the waterway and promote the welfare of the world. More Talk of Intervention. NEW YORK. Nov. 27. Concerning the recent statements of Sir Wemyss Reld, regarding the possibilities of intervention in the Boer war, the Tribune's London correspondent cables: "The high character of Sir Wemyss Reld lends importance to the article in the December number of the Nineteenth Century, In which he refers to the pres sure brought to bear by Continental na tions on the United States to favor Inter vention in the. Boer war. Nothing has been known In diplomatic circles about any pressure of this kind, and Lord Salis bury was ignorant on the subject, or he would not have referred In his Guild Hall speech to the correct attitude of the European powers during the South Af rican war. The diplomatic theory has been that the German Emperor had con trolled the action of the European powers and that the United States Government at the outset had gone as far as possible in courteously offering Its service as a peacemaker, if these were required." Trade Depression In Gcrmnny. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. According to the London corespondent of the Tribune, the Dally Mail, which has been inquiring Into the cause of trade depression- In Germany, says that many of the merchants of yesterday stand today ruined; manufac turing cities are full of hungry men, numbers of wprks are closed altogether, and others are greatly reducing their out put, and stocks of German iron works are being sold in Belgium and England for what they will fetch. Germany attempt ed too much, and Is reaping the Inevi table result. In England the general trade outlook is now worse than at any time since 1S94, and the revelations of British trade union tyranny are constantly causing consider able irritation. No Adequate Return for Subsidies. LONDON, Nov. 27. Lord Brassey, speaking at the London Chamber of Com merce this afternoon on the needs of the navy, said Great Britain had not received an adequate return, from a naval point of view, for the amount spent In ship subsidies. In spite of the 573,000 paid to four companies since 1887, not one of the vessels thus available was fit for any thing except scouting. He urged that hereafter the government insist that all reserve cruisers be built with the view of carrying a protective belt when called on for war service. Playing In Chamberlain's Hands. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. The Independ ence Beige, quoted by the Brussels corre spondent of the London Times and New York Times, declares that as long as the Continent persists In Its brutal manlfes- IOWA. PANAMA. tatlons of Anglophobia, the British Na tion iwill not regain its equilibrium, and the situation In South Africa will remain unsolved. The real strength of Mr. Cham berlain, says the Independence Beige, lies in this state of affairs, and if the outcry against British cruelties and bad faith should cease, his authority would crumble, as well as the phantom imperialism. Protest Against Irish Obstruction. LONDON, Nov. 27. At today's session of the annual conference of the National Union of Conservative Association at Wolverhampton, the party platform was enlarged by calling on the government to adopt drastic measures to suppress the "organized obstruction of Nationalist members of Parliament," and to arrest Colonel Arthur Lynch Immediately on his landing in England. A delegate wanted the meeting to adopt a resolution calling oh the government to impose a protective duty on corn, but this was scaled down today, in effect, that for the better se curity of the nation, Parliament should devise measures for the preservation and t contlnuanco of the food supply In time or war. Looting nt Pekln. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. The Paris cor respondent of the London Times and New York Times gives what he declares is the reason for the disinclination of the French Government to make public the reports of General Voyron, who commanded the French expeditionary force in China. The correspondent asserts that, after the Legations were relieved, European ladies went through the best shops In Pekln, pillaging loads of the most precious arti cles. Silks, laces, Jewelry, gold and sli ver objects and Ivories were among the valuables taken by these European wo men. The looted articles, according to the correspondent, were hidden in the respective legations. No French Imperialism. PARIS, Nov. 28. At a banquet last night of the Republican Committee of Commerce and Industry, at which a ma jority of the French Cabinet Ministers were present, M. Waldeck-Rousseau, the Premier, amid ringing cheers, repudiated any aspirations to Imperialism. "You may be assured," said he, "that we dream neither of Internal nor ex'ternal imperial ism. Our aim is not to enlarge our colo nial domain, but to organize and consoli date IV A Fake Report. BERLIN, Nov. 27. The North German Gazette today says It is authorized to state that the article published by the Lokal Anzelger, November 25, purport ing to give utterances of Emperor Will iam In addressing naval recruits at Kiel, was in its main points "entirely invented, and, above all, his majesty did not utter a single word in reference to the war of 1870-71." No Reference to McKInley's Death. ROME, Nov. 27. At the assemblage of the Italian Chamber of Deputies yester day, no reference was made to the death of President McKinley, because the Radi cal and Socialist members of the Cham ber had threatened to speak apologetically of Czolgosz, and the government pre ferred to avoid any unpleasantness. Boer Officers Captured. LONDON, Nov. 27. Lord Kitchener, In a dispatch from Pretoria, dated today, reports that General Knox has captured 36 men of Buy's command, who escaped after the recent fight. The prisoners In clude Commandant Joubert, who Is wounded, and Field Cornets Wolmerans and Diedrlcks. Thousands of Slackerel Trapped by Dry dock. (New York Sun.) Everybody was eating mackerel the oth er day at the navy-yard In Brooklyn. It was broiled, baked and fried, and there was so much of it left over that the air was reminiscent of Fulton market on Fri day. Nobody paid for the feast. Uncle Sam flooded drydock No. 3 to float in the torpedo-boat Bailey a few days ago; and the mackerel thousands of them tum bled In with the lnrushing water. On Monday the dock was pumped out. and the mackerel, a writhing, Jumping, glistening mass, were discovered on the floor. Workmen and sallormen gathered In the fish by basketful and bucketful, and every officer and man on shipboard and off had a mess for many meals. The drydocks have caught fish before, notably shad, but never in so large a quantity as this time. One of the work men said there must have been about 50,000 mackerel trapped. THE LA SINCERIDAD.

Will Continue to Handle Trains Made Up by Nonnnlon Men Con ditions In the Yards. PITTSBURG, Nov. 27. The railway trainmen decided qfflclally and finally, at a delegate meeting, they would continue at work notwithstanding the strike of the Switchmen's Union of North America. This means that they will take out trains made up by non-union men. At a late hour tonight, Messrs. Morrlssey and Fitz gerald are in secret conference with Rob ert Pitcalrn, general superintendent of the Pennsylvania's lines. What tho sub ject of the conference Is has not been learned as yet. The strikers continue confident of ultimately winning the strike, and say that the action taken by the Brotherhood of Trainmen will not materially affect their cause. The" com pany officials say that what delay there may be In passenger business is caused by the unusual congested condition of the road here and elsewhere. The conditions as found today are about as follows: The Baltimore & Ohio made little attempt to move freight locally, although the yardmaster says eight solid trains were made up in the yards today. The Allegheny Valley Road has exper ienced little If any relief and business In the yards is practically at a standstill. The Pittsburg & Western fared pretty wen. vuiey lanaea at jsennet 15 men from Philadelphia and three shifts were working. The officials now have hopes of breaking the strike In a few days. They have given their old men until to morrow to return and If they fall new men will be put to work at once. The Pittsburg Junction Road is still tied up. Labor Unions Enjoined. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27. Judge Mc Carthy, of the Common Pleas Courts has Issued an Injunction against the Council of the Allied Building Trades, forbidding tho council or Its agents to Instigate strikes at buildings where contractors em ploy labor that Is not affiliated with that organization. Judge McCarthy also de nied the rlEht of the defendants to nrflor contractors to discharge members of la-j Dor organizations that are not affiliated with the council of the Allied Building Trades. Further and specifically he or dered them to refrain from threats, ex pressed or implied, that employers would suffer loss by hiring tho plaintiffs. The Kentucky Strikers. MADISONVTLLE, Ky., Nov. 27. The 21 union men taken prisoners last Sun day morning by the Sheriff and County Judge of Hopkins County, were arraigned for trial before Judge Hall today and held to the grand Jury, being released .without ball.

Charles Plackman, colored, a member of the official board of the Mine Work ers, district No. 23, was arrested today on a warrant charging him with confed erating with other union men to Intimidate nonunion miners. Warrants have also been issued for the other union officials. HOW AYRES WAS SHOT. Witness at Bonlne Trial Said Wounds Were Not Self-inflicted. WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. The principal witness today before the criminal court in which Mra. Lola Ida Bonlne is being tried for the murder of James S. Ayres, Jr., was Dr. Martin W. Glazebrook, the Deputy Coroner for the District of Co lumbia, who conducted the autopsy on the body of Ayres. He described in de tail the three wounds on the young man's body and the court crier, stripped to the waist, was used to illustrate the lo cation and course of the wounds for the Instruction of the jury. Dr. Glazebrook also testified that Mrs. Bonine had given him her version of the manner In which Ayres came to his death, claiming that the wounds were Inflicted while the pis tol was in Ayres' hands and illustrating how the tragedy occurred, but he thought that It was impossible for the wounds to have been made with the weapon Iii Ayres' own hands. She had told him that he was at her back and had his arms clasped about her when the shots were fired. He concluded that the wound In Ayers' thigh must have been made by a weapon heldmore than 24 Inches from the spot. He" also concluded that the arm wound must have been made by a pistol held about 14 inches away. In the chest wound he thought the muzzle of the revolver must have been eight Inches from the body. Dr. Glazebrook said that the wound in tho chest had penetrated the windpipe and the lung on the left side and had ranged to the right and upward, lodging in the back. This wound, he said, was necessarily fatal. He thought, from the appearanco of the blood found in Ayres' room, that it was caused by the chest wound and had been vomited. Dr. Glazebrook said that he had called on Mrs. Bonlne at the jail professionally on the Tuesday after the tragedy to make an examination of bruises said to be on Mrs. Bonlne's body. At that visit she volunteered to Illustrate to him how the tragedy had occurred and gave him her version of It. He said that Mrs. Bonine had him place both arms around her, a pistol being held in the right hand. She had. she said, clasped the revolver and the hand which held it and the pistol was snapped three times In the struggle which ensued. "Assuming that the relative positions of the two were such as thus described, and that the pistol was in Ayres' iright hand, .could the wounds which you found upon his body have been inflicted?" asked District Attorney Gould. "Taking into' consideration the position of Ayres and of Mrs. Bonlne, together with the appearance of his clothing, I don't see how it was possible that the pistol could have been held in Ayres' hand," replied the witness. Mr. Douglas, on cross-examination, brought out the fact that there was a slight contusion on Ayres' forehead and several abrasions and bruises on his legs and feet, the purpose of the defense be ing to show that there had been a struggle. DID NOT SEE HIS FAMILY. Man Accnsed of Murder Forced to Confess He Was a Deserter. CHICAGO, Nov. 27. Before being taken back to San Francisco yesterday to stand trial, Norman F. Lambert, a colored de serter from the United States Navy, who spent tho night in a cell at detective headquarters, told a remarkable 6tory. After having traveled 11,000 miles to meet his wife and child In Rahway, N. J., he was arrested in Michigan City, Ind., on suspicion of having committed a murder some months previous In that city. Later he says he was Identified by several per sons as the murderer. At the time of the murder, Lambert was In Shanghai on board the gunboat Helena, but at first he refused to give the police any Informa tion of his whereabouts at that time. Finally, the circumstantial evidence against Lambert became so strong that he confessed he was a deserter and furnished proof that at the time of the murder he was In China. Father Crowley Apologised. CHICAGO, Nov. 27. Announcement was made today by counsel for Archbishop Feehan that the sentence of excommu nication which was pronounced against Father Jeremiah-J.

THE TREATMENT THAT CURES Dr. Copeland's treatment, that has lifted the darkness and blight of the word "Incurable" from hundreds of thousands of cases of Catarrh of the Head, Throat, Ear Tubes, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs, works as curative action for two reasons: (1) It reaches every diseased spot from the orifice of the nose to the deepest part of the lungs and the Innermont recesses of the middle ear. (2) Instead of Irritating:, Inflaming and feeding the fires of the disease, it soothes, quiets, heals and cures. CATARRH OF HEAD AND THROAT. The head and throat become dis eased from neglected colds, caus ing Catarrh when the condition of the blood predisposes to this con dition. "Is the voice husky?" "Do you ever spit up slime?" "Do you ache all over?" "Do you tnore at night?" "Do you blow out Bcabs7" "Is your nose stopped up?" "Does your nose Uischarge?" "Does your nose bleed easily?" "Is there tickling In the throat?" "la this worse toward night?" "Does the no3e Itch and burn?" "Do you oawk to clear the throatT" "Is there pain across the eyes?" "Is there pain In front of head?" "Is your sense of smell leaving?" "Is the throat dry In the morning?" "Are you losing your sense of taste?" "Do you sleep wltn your mouth open?" "Does your nose stop ud toward night?" CATARRH OF BRONCHIAL TUBES. This condition often results from catarrh extending from tho head and throat, and If left unchecked, extends down the windpipe into the bronchial tubes, and In time attacks the lung j. "Have you a cough?" "Are you losing nesh?" "Do you cough at night?" "Have you pain in slde7" "Do you take cold easily?" "Is your appetite variable?" "Have you stitches In side?" "Do you cough until you gag?" "Are you low-splrlted at times 7" "Do you raise frothy material?" "Do you spit up yellow matter?" "Do you cdugh on going to bed?" "Do you cough in the mornings?" "Is your cough short and hacKlng?" "Do you spit up little cheesy lumps?" "Have you a disgust for fatty foods?" "Is there tickling behind the palate?" "Have you pain behind breastbone?" "Do you feel you are growing weaker7" "Is there a burning pain In the throat?" "Do you cough worse night and morning?" "Do you have to sit up at night to get breath?" CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.

Buffalo has had her day of glory and her day of mourning. Sh has bees spoken of wherever the news of the Pan American has penetrated, and her civic pride has boen nattered and sti engthcTied, not. Indeed, without cost to her public spirited citizens, on whom have fallen the burden of the festival and the losses financial that seem Inseparable from such, enterprises. Now that the Pan-American has closed Its gates there Is an opportu nity to review the past and estimate wherein the Exposition succeeded and wherein it failed. Not that this will be of service to Buffalo, for, as Mr. Dooley says, the greatest blessing about an ex position is that a city doesn't need to have It twice, but that other cities are certain to follow suit, undeterred by finan cial results, Just as we see Charleston and St. Louis making ready for their tri umphal deficit. Three things would have aided the Buf falo Exposition, any two of which might have allowed It to weather the financial sandsplt and reached port with every sail Intact. One was an earlier start In the agitation for a fair In 1901, thus securing larger appropriations; another was an ear lier beginning of the work on grounds and buildings; the third was a better site. The 3lte should have been on the river, as near as might be to the older portion of tho town, with a well-defined purpose of using that site afterward for a river side park. The magic name Niagara would have been an attraction to Ameri cans In every state, and to foreigners as well. Tho immediate presence of tho beautiful sheet of water expanding above Into Lake Erie and suggesting below the nearness ot the falls would have lent a charm that nothing else could, not even the neighborhood of hills and forests, while the buildings would have naturally assumed such e plan as to face toward the water, not, as at Chicago, losing to a large extent the advantage of the lake close .at hand. Imagine the electric tower well within the city on the high est ground, and the rest of the buildings coming down to the water side. From all the higher points the lake and river would have been visible, while from the tower Itself the foam and mist rising from the fills would have been easily discerned. The purpose of a permanent park having been kept In view, the build ings and canals and fountains would have been arranged In some cases for AVOID CURE-ALLS In Catarrh, as in other maladies, avoid blind doctoring by patent cure-alls.

"Where tho midway and the main buildings stand the land might be sold for vlllis and for handsome residences, with restrictions as to cost and quality of the homes to bo erected. As Buffalo extends northward the city will soon inclose the present site of the exposition, which might remain for the use of citizens. The Albright Art Gallery Is rising near, and the Buf falo Historical Is another handsome mar ble structure almost within the area. As other public or semi-public buildings are needed the old exposition site would bo their natural place. It is not too much to expect from a city which has so clev erly engineered and so gallantly carried out the Pan-American that she should save a good share of the millions expend ed on the fair by turning a portion of site ana buildings to account.
