im rdal communication -with ships at sea.
Tl.e 6 stem at present is in permanent use
et board TO ships, and there are 25 land
stations. His transmission of 22 words in
a minute does not compare badly with the
work of the cables. The defects with ref

"w uld challenge Sir William Tries and
Professor Lodge to Intercept messages.
The monopoly claimed by the British
Postal Telegraph hitherto Impeded the
establishment of a wireless service In Eng

of the Atlantic, in marked contrast with
tl-ci generous encouragement which he had
' received from tho Government and press

siderable ceremonial. In the speech from
the throne he referred to the tranqull

Reffrring to the proposed divorce bill,
His Majesty said:

DniKoon Detachment
nt Kllpdnm.
LONDON. Feb. 20 -A detachment of tho
Scots Grays (Second Dragoons), one of
Great Britain's crack dragoon regiments,
hay been cut up by the Boers at Klip

patch dated Pretoria, Wednesday, Feb

The Scots Grays formed part of General
Gilbert Hamilton's column. The latter,
while moving on Nigel. February IS, en
gaged a force of Boers at Klipdam. The

their position, so he continued his march
toward Nigel. The Boers released the
Scots Grays who had been made prison
ers. Iloers Hard Pressed.
LONDON. Feb. 21. In a dispatch from
Pretoria the correspondent of the Times
says there is no doubt the Boers in the
Eastern Transvaal Colony are greatly de
moralized, and that they are so "hard
pressed that many are reluctant to con
tinue the struggle. In an Intercepted let
ter from General Pict 'Viljoen to Mr.
Schalkburger the writer urges the Uatter
to do something to counteract the spirit
of surrender among the Boers. It is ru
mored that General Eotha and Mr. Schalk
burger are trying to arrange a meeting.
In spite of these indications, however,
there Is no ground for believing that the
war will be Immediately over, says the
Times' correspondent The Influence of
the Boer leaders may still prevail, and
In any case the majority would be bound
by the action of the Boers in the Eastern
Transvaal.

long trip and undertake the Journey. Mr.
Kruger appears to be In excellent phys
ical condition and his physicians advise

CHINESE GOVERNMENTS.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Tho Tribune today
prints the following cablegram from Pe
kin, China, under date of February 13:
"A sensation was caused in diplomatic
circles here today when it became known
that the United States, through Secretary
of State John Hay, had sent a note to
the Russian and Chinese Governments,
following closely along the lines of the
Anglo-Japanese treaty of January 30. The
note is a distinct warning to both China
and Ru.s-la that the United States will
not permit the integrity of the empire to
be molesteel In favor of one nation to the
detiiment of another."
The note, which practically indorses the
English treatv with Japan, says:

ber, will nwwmble at 2 o'clock at the undertaking rooms of Flnley & Son,
for the puTTO." of attending the services in a body, an order to that effect
having been Lssuel by Grand Commander T. A Wood. The accompanying pic
ture is an excellent likeness of Captain Chambreau. The funeral will probably bo

was as earnest and cne-ctual In peace as in war. and who played his part la the
developing and upbuilding of Portland and of Oregon.
e
with the gravest concern by the Govern
ment of the United States.
"It constitutes a monopoly which is a
distinct breach of the stipulations of tho
treaties concluded between China and
foreign powers, and fthereby seriously af
fects tho rights of American citizens.
"It restricts their rightful trade, expos
ing it to being discriminated against. In
terfered with or otherwise jeopardized and
strongly tends to permanently impair Chi
na's sovereign rights in this imrt of tho
empire, while it seriously interferes with
her ability to meet international obliga
tions. "Furthermore, such a concession on
China's part would undoubtedly be fol
lowed by demands from other powers for
similar equal extensive advantages else
where in the Chinese Empire, and the in
evitable result must be the complete
wreck of the policy of absolute eeiuality of
treatment to all nations respecting trade,
navigation and commerce within the em
pire's confines.
"On the other hand, the attainment by
one power of such exclusive privileges for
the commercial organizations of Its nation
ality conflicts with the assurances re
peatedly conveyed to this Government by
the Imperial Russian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the imperial Government's in
tention to follow the policy of the open
door as advocated by the Government of
the Ur.lt.eel States and accepted by all the
treaty powers having commercial inter
ests in tne empire.
"It is for these reasons that the Gov
ernment of the United States, now, as
formerly, animated by the tincerest desire
of insuring to the whole world the bene
fits of full and fair intercourse between
China and the nations on a footing of
equal rights and advantages to all. submits
the above to the earnest consideration of
the imperial Governments of China and
Russia, confident that they will give due
weight to Its importance and that they
will adopt f-.uch measures as will relieve
the ju.t and natural anxiety of the United
States."
The "lribune prints, also, the following
special from Washington:
"It has been understooel here from the
cutset that the terms of the British-Jai-anese
agreement to preserve the Integrity
of China was submitted hi advance to
President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay,
and approved by them. Following out the
traditional policy, however, of avoiding
entangling alliances, the United States
positiely declined to become a party to
any actual agreement concerning China.
hen Lord Cranbourne, in the British
.....khi, ,.i , uvuevu mcie aJ,
no doubt the British-Japanese agreement
would command the full approval of the
United States he spoke by authority. The
agreement between Great Britain and
Japan was dated January CO. There is,
therefore, deep significance that on Feb
ruary L two days after the treaty was
signed, this country sent to Russia a noto
practically adopting the principle of the
treaty as the policy of the United States.
The agreement between Great Britain and
Japan is largely a military one, and pro
vides for a joint use of forces in case of
hostilities.
"Secretary Hay's letter, of course, could
not so to that extent, but the substance
of it, us telegraphed, leaves no doubt that
Russia has been notified of the fact in
strong diplomatic language that the moral
support of the United States Is with Great
Britain and Japan, and that this country
will necessarily resent any failure on the
part of Russia to redeem the pledge it
made to President McKInley that the open
door policy should be applied to Man
churia. "Apparently Secretary Hay waited until
after the British-Japanese treaty was
mado public so that the note of the United
States might have all of the weight of
an Indorsement of that treaty. It is be
lieved' here also that Germany wrote a
similar note to Russia, and that, while the
Emperor was unwilling to participate In
an alliance with England and Japan, he
was not averse to letting the Czar know
that Germany's commercial Interests In
the Orient would be jealously guarded.
"It is expected, in fact, that Germany
and the United States will be found to be
occupying almost the same position, and
thus the result will be that Russia and
France will be arrayed on one side and
Great Britain, Germany. Japan and the
United States on the other."
Hay's Note Approved.
LONDON. Feb. 21. In nri editorial on
Anglo-Japanese relations the Times says
that the protest which Secretary Hay has
sent to the Russian and Chinese Govern
ments Is proof, if proof were needed, that
the considerations which have given rise
to the Anglo-Japanese agreement are not
an outcome of captious jealousy of Rus
sia on the part of England and Japan.
"Washington has invariably maintained the
most friendly relations with Russia, con
tinues the Times, yet Secretary Hay for
mulates In the plainest and most trench
ant terms the very objections to the Rus
sian projects In Manchuria which have
been entertained and urged here. Secre
tary Hay's dispatch shows how well
founded was the belief of Lord Cran
bourne. the Under Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, that the Anglo-Japanese agree-
ment would command tho full approval
of the Washington Government. Thi3 dec
laration of policy and views of the United
States Government ought to help clear
away much of the nonsense which has
been talked about the Anglo-Japanese
agreement. The Times editorially con
cludes by highly complimenting Lord
Rosebery as tho originator of a far-seeing
policy and understanding with Japan, and
says: "It was Lord Rosobery who sowed
the seed of which Lord Lansdowne has
Kuuiureu me Harvest of tho empire."

this to be done.
Lord Cranbourno declined to be drawn

the International sugar conference, when
It reconvenes at Brussels next Saturday,
will most probably reach an international
agreement on the basis of Great Britain's
proposals to abolish sugar bounties and

shillings per hundredweight. The great
sugar houses of Magdeburg appear to be
In somewhat of a panic over this Intelli
gence. The spokesmen of the Agrarian party
are energetic in their language against the

VIENNA. Feb. 20.-At a largely attended

"Germans to the Front.'

commanded Professor Rc-.schllng to paint
a picture of the scene near the Chinese
arsenal, when Ailmimi Snvronur on-
manuer ot tne I'ekln relief expedition
gave tne order. "The Germans to the

many, and Professor Roeschllng. who.
upon Emperor William's order, accom
panied the German expedition to China,
has made a study of the battle-field and
the arsenal with the painting of this pic
ture in view. The picture will be hung
in Emperor William's gallery, and will
represent the German forces on the double

NEW YORK. Feb. 2-3. Thomas Brock's

ences between State Department oflicial3
and members of the Senate and House,
arrangements have been completeel for
the reception of Prince Henry when he
comes to the capital next Monday after
noon. The Prince will be accompanied by
Ambassador von Holleben or Count Quadt
and the members of his staff.
The party will arrive at the eastern
main entrance about 4 o'clock, and will
enter tho building by the rotunda. Here
a committee of members of tho House
will be In waiting to receive him. as the
visit to the Senate will have to be made
later, owing to the taking of the vote on
the Philippine bill nt 1 o'clock. Repre
sentatives Grosvenor and Hitt and one
Democratic member, probably Represen
tative Dinsmore, will constitute the com
mittee. The Prince will bo escorted first
to Speaker Henderson's private office,
where greetings will be exchanged, and
the speaker will then invite the Prince
and his party to occupy the speaker's re
served seats In the gallery. This will
give the Prince an opportunity to observe
the conduct of affairs in the House, the
probability being that one of the appro
priation bills will be under consideration
at that time.
After looking elown upon the business
of the House Prince Henry will return to
the main floor of the House, nnd later
will occupy the ways and means com
mittee's rooms for a time. In order that
members of the House may be presentenl
to him In person. It Is understood that
this part of the programme carries out a
wish expressed by Emperor William that
his brother should see not only the legis
lative branch In session, but also should
meet In a personal way the members of
this branch of the Government. At the
conclusion of the presentation of mem
bers to Prince Henry the committee will
escort the Prince and his party through
the corridor to the rotunda, where a com
mittee of Senators will meet them and
give the visitor the courtesies of the Sen
ate. The following Thursday, when Prinee
Henry attends the Mclvinley memorial
services In the Houso of Representatives,
he will occupy a seat immediately along
side of President Roosevelt, who. with
his Cabinet, will be In the area 1o the
left of the speaker and in front of the
Republican side of the House. On this
occasion the Prince's suite will not be
with him, but will occupy chairs further
bnck. On entering the chamber the Prince
will be announced as "Prince Henry of
Prussia. Admiral of the German Navy."
The formality of announcing the other
members of the party and of the mem
bers of the Diplomatic Corps will be dis
pensed with.
A meetlnsr of the President's delegates
Assistant Secretary Hill, of the State De
partment: Adjutant-General Corbln and
Rear-Admlral Evans will be- held at the
"Waldorf-Astoria In New York tomorrow
afternoon. These three "gentlemen will
represent the President in formally wel
coming Prince Henry to the country.
Prince Henry will make his first appear
ance to the American people In the ca
pacity of an Admiral In the Imperial Ger
man Navy, and will wear the uniform of
that rank. Assistant Secretary Hill, who
will head the receiving delegation, will
especially represent the civil majesty of
the Government, and therefore will ap
pear at all ceremonies in civilian attire.
General Corbln and Admiral Evans will
appear In full-dress uniform on all for
mal occasions, including the reception at
New- York and the various functions In
this city.
The President's delegates have decided
to abandon the proposed reception to
Prince Henry In the Navy Department.
It has been arranged, according to the
tentative, programme, that Friday, the
2Sth inst., after returning from Annapolis,
the Prince and suite should be received at
the Navy Department by Secretary Long
and a number of distinguished naval oifl
cors. The committee finds, however, that
Prince Henry, being a salior. is much
more desirous of 'nspectlng the magnifi
cent naval training school at Annapolis
than officiating In a perfunctory official
reception, so for his benefit the time al
lotted for his stay at the Naval Academy
was extended nnd the ofllcial reception
omltteel. Secretary Long, however, will
go to Annapolis to welcome the Prince at
the academy.
Commander Nathan Sargent, aid to Ad
miral Dewey. Is at the latter's request
going to .New ork to greet Prince Henry
in his (the Admiral's) name, and to ex
press the Admiral's regret at being un
able to be present In person to meet him
on his arrival in America. It is stated
that the only cause for the Admiral's ab
sence is the serious Illness of Mrs. Dewey.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. The Attorney
General, In response to an Inquiry of the
Secretary of the Interior, has rendered a
decision as to the rights of residents of
the Philippines. Cuba and Porto Rico in
the registration of trademarks in the
United States. He holds that Porto Rico,
being a territory, the residents are enti
tled to register trademarks under the act
of Congress. Aa to the Philippines, the
Attorney-General says he does not regard
them as completely organized territories,
and that the residents are not entitled to
the privileges of the trademark law.
Cuba, the Attorney-General says, may be
regarded as one of the countries with
which we have reciprocal arrangements,
and a person located there is entitled to
register trademarks under our laws.
GORGE ABOUT TO BREAK.
ritt.sburfc River Men Fear Great
Damage AVill Result.
PITTSBURG, Feb. 20. A sleet storm to
night with rapidly moderating weather
and two days of rain, predicted by tne
Government weather office, promise to
bring about the conditions feared for
weeks past by river men and citizens gen
erally. The great danger apprehended is
from the immense gorges of Ice In the
Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers. The
obstructions are of the most serious char
acter, and liable to do enormous damage
to river craft moored between this point
and Wheeling. Should the moelerate
weather and rains bring down with the
Ice the heavy snows from up-river points,
the Hood which will result is likely to be
a record-breaker.
Tho gorge In tho Allegheny extends al
most without a break from Pittsburg fully
TO miles up the river, and varie-s In thick
ness from five to 1G feet. The Ice Is
frozen to the bottom of the river in
many places, and Is elammlng the water,
with the result that the river Is rising
above the gorge, and this fact points
out that when the first rise comes, tho
water will be dammed back until the val
ley along the river would be llooeled,
which would do damago not to be com
puted In money.
The gorge In the Monongahela Is not
feared to much, because the numerous
dams along Its length will serve to break
the ice and make it b'ss dangerous than
the Allegheny.
The situation was made worse today by
the formation of a gorge in the Youghio
gheney. at Versailles, and dther points
above McKeesport. which threatens the
barges removed from the Allegheny to
the Monongahela and the other boats and
barges moored in the pools below McKees
port. Tho coal companies are taking every
precautlon for the protection of their
property and all residents In the lowlands
nnd valleys are making ready for the ex
pecteel flood. The river from Wheeling to
Parkersburg is gorgcel almost aolld, and
river men fear this almost as much as
they do the gorge In the Allgheny, for
the reason that many boats are frozen
to the banks at various places, and these
have m way to protect themselves or
their tow-3 from the ice when it breaks.
It is feared that in addition to losing their
tows many boats will be lost, owing to
heavy ice.

Sore Throat
and
Bronchia!
Troubles
A sore throat is the begin
ning of a dangerous ailment
it is the beginning of an ail
ment that will end in death,
unless it is checked in the
beginning, and there is only
one medicine that will check
a sore throat, only one medi
cine that you can take to get
immediate relief and prevent
a serious illness, and that
is Dr. Halpruncr's Wonderful Medicine, a medicine that If
prescribed and compounded to cure sore throat, and cure it at
once; a medicine that will cure it, because it is made right, made to
act on the afflicted parts. It will drive out the pain and allay the
inflammation.
Inflammation is the cause of nearly all our troubles, and Halpruner's
drives out inflammation like water puts out fire.
If you have a sore throat send to your druggist and get a bottle of
Halpruner's Wonderful Medicine and rub it into the throat and chest
well rub it until the throat burns, until you know the medicine has
penetrated deeply, and then take a couple of teaspoonfuls in a glass of
milk or water every two or three hours, and it will be only a short
matter of time until your sore throat will disappear entirely.
In bronchial troubles more continuous treatments are required, but
it will eventually give you the cure you seek.
All druggists sell Halpruner's Wonderful Pain Remover 50c and
$1 a bottle the $1 size contains three times the quantity of the small
size. But demand the genuine
folpruner's
I have used Dr. Halpruner's Pain Remover for scverol years and
find it the best thing I ever tried for sore throat.

FRIED ONIONS
Indirectly Caused the Death of tho
World's Greatest General.
It la a matter of history that Na
poleon was a gormand, an Inordinate
lover of the gooel things of the table, and
history further records that his favorite
dish was fried onions; his death from
cancer of stomach it Is claimed also, wad
probably caused from his excessive in
dulgence of this fondness for the odor
ous vegetable.
Tho onion is undoubtedly a wholesome
artlclo of food. In fact has many medic
inal qualities of value, but it would be
difficult to find a more Indigestible article
than fried onions, and to many people
they are simply poison, but the onion
does not stanel alone In this respect. Any
article of fooel that is not thoroughly di
gested becomes a source of disea&e and
discomfort, whether It be fried onions or
beefsteak.
Tho reason why any wholesome food is
not promptly digested Is because the
stomach lacks soma important element of
eligestlon. some stomachs lack peptone,
others are deficient in gastric juice, still
others lack hydrochloric acid.
I The one thing necessary to do In any
( case of poor digestion is to supply thoso
elements of digestion which the stomach
lacks, and nothing docs this so thoroughly
and safely as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Dr. Richardson, in writing a thesis on
treatment of dyspepsia . and indigestion,
closes his remarks by saying, "for those
suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by
sour, watery risings, or for flatulent dys
pepsia, shown by gas on stomach, caus
ing heart trouble antl difficult breathing,
as well as for all other forms of stomach
trouble, the safest treatment Is to tako
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
i after each meal. I advise them becauso
! they contain no harmful drugs, but are
composed of valuable digestives, which
act promptly upon the food eaten. I
never knew a case of indigestion or even
chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Tab
lets would not reach."
Cheap cathartic meeliclnes claiming to
j cure dyspepsia and indigestion can have
' n effect whatever in actively digesting
t tne foo1 Jm(1 tn ca flny cathartIc me(1I.
I cl" a cure for indigestion is a misnomer,
