Says England at the Start Stood far Intervention Gemcral Denial From ItHHsla. PARIS, Jan. 22. In view of the state ment made by Lard Cranbourne, British Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in the House of Commons, Mon day, on the subject of representations made to Great Britain before and after the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, the representative of the Associated Press made inquiry here in an authori tative quarter and received the following: explanation, which throws a somewhat different light on the matter: "In the first place, in the Spanish ne gotiations at the end of March, 1E9S, to eecure the intervention of the powers in her favor. Great Britain took the same attitude aa France and the other powers. She neither refused nor consented to Join in collective action. All the powers were hesitating -until they ascertained the in tentions of the others. Russia settled the matter by the late Count MoraviefTs blunt rejection of the proposal. Subsequently, after General Woodford's conference with the Spanish Premier and Senor Gullon, the Foreign Minister, at which the latter indicated the extent of the surrender Spain was willing to make to the United States' demands, the Austrian Government, be lieving Spain's surrender was sufficiently complete to satisfy the United States, in structed its Ambassadors to propose to the European governments that a note be presented at "Washington urging the United States to accept Spain's offer and avert war. The Spanish Ambassador in London saw A. J. Balfour, who was at that time acting as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs during the absence of Lord Salisbury at Beaulleu, who prom ised to Instruct Lord Pauncefote to act alone or with his colleagues with a view to maintain peace. No action was defi nitely agreed upon, though Russia, France and Germany were disposed, toward a movement which would avert an outbreak of hostilities. "A few days before the war, however, it was declared that Mr. Balfour had raised the objection to which Lord Cran bourne alluded against any note which would have the appearance of putting pressure on the United States or offer ing an opinion on the United States' at titude. Tho Austrian proposition then fell through, and the subsequent Joint resolution of Congress rendered any fur ther action out of the question. This was the extent of Great Britain's action in favor of the United States." The statement of a prominent Foreign Office official quoted in the London dis patch of the Associated Press regarding the alleged support by France of the Aus trian proposal, Is declared to be incorrect. Since France did not back up the pro posal, and the French Ambassador In London confined himself to making an in quiry as to what view the British Gov ernment took of the matter, France's at titude throughout was friendly to the United States as well as to Spain, her anient desire being to avert war.' She took no Initiative in any suggestion tend ing to put pressure on the United States, nor at any! time encouraged Spain to re sist. Her Influence was always directed. In the pour parleurs of the powers to maintaining peace. The exact value which should be placed on Great Britain's lean ing toward the United States can be gauged, it is declared, by the fact that when war was declared Senor Gullon was furious, first against Germany, sec ondly .against Russia, and only thirdly against Great Britain. His resentment against Germany was due to the latter having encouraged Spain to resist, and then having abandoned her at the last mo ment. General Denial From Russia. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 22. The cor respondent here of the Associated Press has obtained the following statement from the Russian Foreign Office regarding the announcement made in the British House of Commons Monday concerning negotia tions between the powers before and after the outbreak of the Spanish-American "War, and the assertions made by a Brit ish Foreign Office official to a representa tive of the Associated Press on the same subject: "Russia has always been and now is ex tremely desirous of maintaining amicable relations with the United States. Russia never had any intention of participating in any collective step in the Spanish American dispute, which did not directly concern her. Nor did Russia receive any proposition having such action in view. Indeed, we received no information re garding Austria's alleged initiative or of any attempt on the part of any "of the powers to Interfere in the interest of Spain." PERSIAN GULF QUESTION. Anglo-Russian Relations Discussed in the House of Commons. LONDON, Jan. 22. The debate in the House of Commons today centered on the Persian Gulf question. The critics of the government deplored the loss to British trade and prestige In that part of the world, some of them advocating an under standing with Russia by which Russia would confine her activity to North Per sia, leaving South Persia to British in fluence. Henry Norman, Liberal, tried In vain to draw out Lord Cranbourne, the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, suggesting that the Anglo-German secret agreement referred to the Persian Gulf and German Bagdad Railway schemes. The outcome of the questioning was that Lord Cranbourne made a general reply, in which he said Great Britain's main policy in Asia, includ ing Persia, is to maintain the status quo. Assurances have been exchanged between the British and Russian Governments with reference to the maintenance of Persian integrity. He saw no reasons why they could not simultaneously maintain British trade and good relations with Russia; but the latter would not be bought at the ex pense of any rights possessed by Great Britain. While anxious for the mainte nance of the Integrity of Persia, the gov ernment was far more anxious to main tain the balance of power, and it Is quite Impossible for the Government to aban don its rightful position in Persia. This is specially true as regards the Persian Gulf and tho provinces bordering on India. Renonnced Claim to Austrian Throne VIENNA, Jan. 22. The Archduchess Elizabeth, in anticipation of her marriage January 23 to Prince Otho von Windlsh Graetz, who is not of royal blood, today took the oath renouncing all claims for herself and her descendants to the Aus trian throne.

The archduchess took the oath, kneeling before a crucifix. The Emperor's gift to the Archduchess Elizabeth Includes jewels valued at $1,600,000, a yearly allow ance of 5230,000, a gold dinner service and several royal residences.

Three Men Killed and Several Wounded In a Depot Fight. BELLEVILLE, Tex., Jan. 22. Three men were kilted, one was fatally wounded and three others slightly wounded in a fight at the railroad station here at 6 o'clock this evening. The dead are: RAYMOND "WHITE, Constable at Wal lis. MILAM ODOM, his half-brother. HENRY DIPPERT, a bystander. Walter Pennlr gton was shot through the bowels, the bullet going entirely through the body. Others wounded are: Ellhu Pennington, scalp wound; Antone DIppert, of Belleville, a bystander, flesh wound In the side; John Havkvath, of Sealey, a bystander, bullet through foot. The case of Walter Pennington, under Indictment for the murder of J. C. Odomt a brother of Milam Odom, and a half brother of Raymond White, was called In the District Court today, and a large number of people came here from Wallls as witnesses, among them relatives of J. C. Odom. There was no outbreak until tho parties met at the station, where a large crowd was assembled awaiting the train. Just how the affair started no one seems to know definitely, but it is gener ally claimed that the first hostile act was committed by the Odom faction. Presldent Roosevelt and the South. Harper's Weekly. The administration of President Roose velt is very much Interested In the evil conditions existing In the Republican party in the South, and steps have been taken to bring about a better state of affairs. The organization in every South ern State Is in the hands of the Federal office-holders, and these select the dele gates to the National convention. Some times the state boss does not take the trouble to call a primary election or to hold a convention; he simply appoints his associates, and offers the whole batch for sale to the highest bidder. An unscrup ulous candidate before the Republican National convention, or his unscrupulous friends, are able to purchase one-third of the members of the convention Such a purchase has been made more than once, and the Federal offices throughout the South are now filled by men whose votes as delegates were purchased by the prom ise of these very offices. It is well, known to his friends that ex-Speaker Reed was actually driven into retirement by the revelations which were thrust upon him in 1896 of the Infamous corruption of Southern politics, and the resultant de bauchery of National politics. The work of cleaning out the crew has begun, however, and soon the Custom-House at New Orleans will be purged. It is as foul a nest as Tammany, and exists for the personal profit of the Collector and his subordi nates and associates. Professor Erail Scheffer. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 22.

It Is a well established fact that pneu monia can be prevented. This disease always results from a cold or from an attack of Influenza. Among the tens of thousands who have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for these diseases, you will not find a single case that has ever resulted In pneumonia, which shows con clusively that it is a certain iprcventive of that dread disease. The fact Is it counteracts any tendency of a cold or attack of the grip toward pneumonia. It is famous for its quick cures of cold and grip. Try it. All drujudsu ell It. SUGAR CONFERENCE FAILS DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN" POWERS REPRESENTED AT CONFERENCE. France and England Will Take Steps Against AHstrlan and Germaa Bounty Systems. LONDON, Jan. 22. The correspondent of the Associated Press, upon excellent au thority, tonight learns that the Interna tional sugar conference at Brussels is practically certain to end in a disagree ment between the powers concerned there in, with the result that France and Great Britain will take active steps against the Austrian and German bounty systems. The "kartels" (organizations of sugar refiners) In the latter countries form the rock upon ? M. SHAW. 4 which delegates to the conference will SDllt. Guldent, ex-editor of Le Slecle, and one of the best-known publicists In France, who represents the various French Gov ernmental and Industrial interests, recent ly had an important secret conference with Sir Michael Hlcks-Bcach,-with the result that France and Great Britain are prac tically committed to a commercial alli ance In an endeavor to suppress sugar bounties. Advices received from Brussels by sugar magnates here are to the effect that both Great Britain and France have de manded that Germany and Austria not only withdraw their bounties, but sup press the "kartels," which are repre sented as being merely unoiiiclal forms for providing subsidy for sugar proaucers. Germany and Austria have so far main tained their attitude, which expresses in toleration at what they describe as lu terference in purely Internal affairs, and while they, are willing to amend their sugar bounties, they utterly decline to discuss the "kartels." No "kartels" exist in France, and un less some modification of the existing con ditions be arrived at, France's sugar In dustry is likely to suffer equally with Great Britain's, In spite of the French sugar bounty which France1 has expressed her willingness to withdraw in the event of the suppression of the Austrian and German "kartels" and bounties The best-Informed opinion here Is that on the failure of the Brussels conference, both Great Britain and France will bring forward In their respective Legislatures measures providing for countervailing du ties upon German and Austrian sugar, such duties to cover not only the benefits from bounties, but also those profits ac cruing from tho "kartels" system of ex portation. The statement made by Mr. Havemyer concerning the duty of the British Gov ernment to Great Britain's colonies has created much comment here. These state ments have been brought to the depart ment of the government which Is especial ly responsible for the safe keeping of that branch of British Industry. A prominent member of the West Indian sugar committee pointed out to the rep resentative of the Associated Press tonight that In spite of the vigorous action by the American Treasury Department re garding Russian sugar, jhat department of the American Government had not so far taken cognizance of the German and Austrian "kartels," which have proved an important factor In the Brussels confer ence and which both the French and British delegates to the conference have declared to be more vital than the boun ties. According to a dispatch from Brussels to the Dally News, the German and Austrian delegates are ready to advise the sup pression of sugar nountles provided that Great Britain gives satisfactory guaran tees that the British colonies will not pay bounties upon cane sugar. PEACE .NEGOTIATIONS. Mllner's Attitude Proved an Insur mountable Obstaale. LONDON, Jan. 23. A representative of the Daily News in the lobbies of Parlia ment hears that there has certainly been some sort of peace overtures from the Boers, but that the unyielding attitude of Lord Mllner, as before, proved an Insur mountable obstacle in the matter. A correspondent of the Dally Telegraph, wiring from Brussels, says that the Dutch pro-Boer press has, published a note Issued by Mr. Krugcr, declaring that no peace negotiations would be con ducted except on the basis of the reten tion of Boer independence. This note is regarded as a reply to the speech of Mr. Chamberlain. The Morning Leader asserts that the government definitely rejected an offer of peace negotiations from the Boer dele gates, Wcssels, Wolmarans and Fischer, last August. Boer Commando Capered. LONDON, Jan. 22. Lord Kitchener, In a dispatch from Johannesburg.

The ceremony of the confirmation of the Rt. Rev. Charles Gore as Bishop of Worcester today, at the Church House, Westminster, was attended by an extraordinary scene of tumult. Nu merous objectors to the confirmation, among whom was John Kensit, the no torious anti-ritualist crusader, protested so vehemently that what was Intended to be a seml-rellglous ceremony assumed the character of a disorderly political ) garnering, uisnop lioes ealtorshlp of Lux Mundl and the fact that he Is the founder of a monastic celibate society, figured largely among the arguments of the protesters. The Vicar-General ruled out most of the protests, whereupon Kensit, In vigor ous terms, defied the Vicar-General to stifle him, declaring he would continue to protest until ejected by force.

TO OUTDO MARCONI, Portland Electrician Dream of Still Greater Achievements. Marconi, whose wonderful discovery of a system of wireless telegraphy has ele vated him to the head of the list of In ventors whose genius Is now attracting the attention of the whole world. Is like ly soon to have to take a back seat. An Oregonlan, as yet to fame unknown, Is at work on, and says he will soon have perfected, a scheme for the wireless transmission of electric energy, which will throw Marconi's discovery In the shade. Many will doubtless look upon the wireless transmission of power as an Im possibility, but can they offer any valid reason to demonstrate why It should be any less practicable than sending a. tel egraphic message without a wire? In cither case the wire appears to be of no use except to guide the electric current to its destination. It is neither worn out nor changed in any way by the passage of the faint current necessary to carry a message, or the high current required to operate a mill or factory. That elec tric energy or force of great power cm be transmitted through the air without the aid of a wire Is shown by the effects of a "flash of lightning" which splinters a tree or shatters solid rock without an effort. The entire universe Is expected to wait with Its vast ear to the ground the announcement of the success of this scheme for the wireless transmission of electric energy, which Is bound to revo lutionize the manufacturing industries of the world in the near future. Strange to say, another Oregon genius Is at. this time at work on an entirely new form of storage battery, which scheme, if brought to a successful com pletion, "will throw all of Edison's In ventions In that line In the shade. It has long been known that oxygen and hydrogen are the best mediums for the storage of electricity, but their gaseous form renders their use for this purpose Impracticable. Of late it has been suc cessfully demonstrated that not only at mospheric air, but oxygen and hydrogen gas can be compressed Into a liquid form, and when the genius who Is now working on this storage battery scheme succeeds In further comprelntr thrn Man's Mission on Eartli KNOW THYSELF!

SubaldlstM Unnecessarily Alarmed. New Tork Journal of Commerce. The delusion that merchandise from this country for South America cannot find means of transportation, or Is obliged to go by way of Europe, was completely ex ploded by the report of the committee from the National Association of Manu facturers, who visited South America a few years ago and reported tht there were ample facilities for direct spment3 from American ports, that the owners of the lines were eager to increase their facilities if the Increased demand for cargo space offered the least warrant for it, and that freight rates from New York for South America were not higher than rates from Europe, and were generally lower. Most of the steamers between our ports and South America carry passen gers, but as the service Is mainly a freight service the steamers are not so large or fast or elegantly appointed as passengers who frequently travel on the North At lantic lines are accustomed to.

Reward of Merit A New Catarrh Care Secures Na tional Popularity in Less Than One Year. Throughout a great nation of eighty mil lion it is a desperate strurgle to secure even a recognition for a new article, to say nothing of achieving popular favor, and yet within one year Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new catarrh cure, has met with such success that today it can be found in every drug store throughout the United States and Canada. To be sure, a large amount of advertis ing was necessary In the first instance to bring the remedy to the attention of the public, but every one familiar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article permanently suc cessful. It must have, in addition, abso lute, undeniable merit, and this the new catarrh cure certainly possesses In a marked degree. Physicians, who formerly depended upon Inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint ments, now use Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because, as one of the most prominent stated, these tablets contain In pleasant, convenient form all the really efficient ca tarrh remedies, such as red gum, blood root and similar antiseptics. They contain no cocaine nor opiate, and are given to little children with entire safety and benellt. Dr. J. J. Reltiger, of Covington, Ky., says: "I suffered from ciharrh in -my head and throat every Fall, with stoppage of the nose and Irritation In the throat, af fecting my voice, and often extending to the stomach, causing catarrh of the stom ach. I bought a 50-cent package of Stuart's Caiarrh Tablets at my druggist's, carried them In my pocket and used them, faithfully, and the way In which tney cleared my head and throat was certainly remarkable. I had no catarrh last Winter and Spring, and consider myself entirely free from any catarrhal trouble." Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling, W. Va., writes: "I suffered from catarrh near ly my whole life, and last Winter my two children also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large portion of the Winter. My brother, who was cured of catarrhal deaf ness by using Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, urged me to try them so much that I d.d so, and am truly thankful for what they have done for myself and my children. I always keep a box of the tablets In the house, and at the first appearance of a cold or sore throat we nip It in the bud' and catarrh is no longer a household af fliction with us." Full-sized packages of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold for 30 cents at all drug gists. Send for book on cause and cure of ca tarrh, mailed free. Address, F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
