FRIEND, OF THE MILLERS
Speaker Henderson Tells "Why Dqclc
Charges Bill Did Sot Pass.
DUBUQUE, la., July 2S. Speaker Hen
derson, In an Interview today on the
reports about the National Millers'
grievance against him, on the ground
that he prevented the passage of the
London dock bill, said:
"I had not heard anything of It since
Saturday last, when I flrat saw an arti
cle on the subject. I was greatly sur
prised to see anything of the kind from
the millers, whose friend I have been all
the time, and I tried to get their bill
through. I gave them the floor and let
the bill come up the second time, but
members In charge of the measure
wanted it passed over, as they hoped for
a compromise between the friends and
enemies of the bill. This was twice that
the bill's friends had an opportunity.
Later, I proposed to havo the bill called
up by calling upon the committees, but
Mr. Tawney, author of the bill, was ab
sent that day and other friends of the
measure were unwilling to have It come
up In his absence, so that is three timco
that the bill practically had lis day in
court and, for the reason named, failed
to be disposed of: but in no instance wag
it any fault of mine. The bill is a just
one and ought to pass, and I have no
doubt it will pass at the short eesslon
of Congress. I fear there has been some
very thoughtless misrepresentation about
this matter, for It is not usual for men
to attack their loyal friends."

CENSURES ARMY OFFICER
CHAFFEE ADMINISTERS REPRI
MAND TO CAPTAIN WILD.
Lack of Co-operation With the Civil
Authorities Americans At
tacked by Moros.
WASHINTON, July 28. The action of
General Chaffee, in reprimanding Captain
Frederick S. Wild, Thirteenth Infantry,
upon the sentence of a court-martial, has
been received "tit tho War Department,
Captain Wild was in command at Llng
ayan, where a cockpit was burned, two
soldiers of the commission having been
previously stabbed in the cockpit. It was
generally understood that the cockpit was
burned by the soldiers In revenge. It was
brought out In the testimony that Captain
Wild had been requested by the civil au
thorities to place a guard over the prop
erty after the first attack, and failed to
do so, and a second attempt at burning
resulted In its destruction. General Chaf
fee, in carrying out the sentence of the
court, said:
"The necessity for this trial Is based
on the intention to accentuate to the ac
cused that the existing ordor to give
complete and unqualified support to all
branches of the civil government In these
islands must be complied with and to
show by example that nothing short of
such support will be accepted from offi
cers on duty In this division. Captain
Wild's conduct Is but mildly punished by
roprimand. It Is destructive to the very
foundations of discipline, and when con
sidered In connection with the duty which
devolved upon him is in the highest de
gree reprehensible."

part of September. Early In July. Adjutant-General
Corbln addressed a letter to
the Governors of the various states and
territories calling attention to tho pro
posed maneuvers and suggesting the de
sirability of the participation therein of
the National Guards. A largo number of
replies have been received already, but In
no single Instance has there been a posi
tive acceptance to participate, Montana
and Nebraska said that the Governors
were absent and that no formal action
had been taken on the invitation. The
Governor of Iowa said that the matter
was still under consideration by the state
authorities.

ceived from the Governors of the follow
ing states: Vermont. New Jersey, Ala
bama. Illinois, Georgia, New Hampshire,
Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas.

Hay's Advice to Rosehlll.
WASHINGTON, July 2S. A cablegram
received at the State Department from
Minister Buck, at Toklo, says that the
Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs in
formed him that a Japanese naval vessel
would leave yesterday for Marcus Island.
The purpose of hec going is not to make
trouble, but to prevent it. An official of
the Foreign Office was to have gone on
the vessel: and he was to carry a letter
to Captain Rosehlll, cabled from the State
Department here to Minister Buck, advis
ing the Captalr to make no disturbance
or resort to violence to obtain possession
of the island, with possible loss of life
and involving international complications.
If the Captain would observe this advice,
the department said, for its part, it would
endeavor to settle the claim to Marcus
Island diplomatically. Captain Rosehlll is
reported to have sailed from Honolulu for
Marcus Island in a schooner July 11. and
it is therefore probable that he already Is
at Marcus Island, or very near there. The
letter may come into his hands too late to
avert trouble, but tho department offi
cials are hoping for the best.

EXAMINATION OF PELEE.
Extraordinary Similarity With the
Eruptions of SoufXrlcrc.
FORT DE FRANCE, Island of Martin
ique, Monday, July ".Dr. T. A. Jaggar,
of Harvard University, representing the
United States Geological Survey In the
West Indies, arrived for the second time
at Fort de France on June 21 and has
since visited Mount Pelee twice. He has
also made excursions to the Southern
end of Martinique and to the warm
springs of the interior' of the island.
Dr. Jaggar came directly from St. Vin
cent, As a result of recent examinations of
the crater of Mount Pelee and explora
tions of the track of the devistatlng blast
which destroyed St. Pierre. It appears
that there is extraordinary similarity be
tween the eruptions of the Souffrlere vol
cano of St, Vincent and Mount Pelee. Tho
products are the same, both are charac
terized by the absence of lava, and the
work of destruction, both to Inanimate
objects and to mankind, was accom
plished In much the same way. The de
structive effects of the eruption In St.
Vincent coverod a much more extensive
area, but the loss of human life was
much less.
There have been no active eruptions of
Mount Pelee of Importance since June C.
A great cone of boulders and volcano
bombs, which appeared within the fissure
from which the explosion came, has
grown in size since the middle of May,
when Dr. -Jaggar first saw it. .Occasion
ally there are sudden slides of debris
down this cone In the deep gorge and the
Riviere Blanche. These slides produce
great columns of brown dust which re
sembled smoke, that rise In billows from
the mountain's flank and give the Im
pression of an eruption when viewed from
the sea. At night these slldlngs of red
hot rock make a glowing streak in the
mountain slope.
This accounts for tho many reports by
passing vessels of eruptions; that hot
lava and dust falls. The phenomenon Is
a mere superficial one. As at St. Vin
cent, the many mud spouts, steam Jets
and local craters that have been report
ed are all superficial, caused by rain
water draining into the beds of hot, dry
gravel. The two volcancea of St. Vin
cent and Martinique were In eruption In
sympathy In May. Both have gradually
become less active since, and It is prob
able they will continue to diminish In
activity, to judge by tho present signs.
In this opinion tho French scientific
commission, headed by Professor La
Croix, of Paris, concurs. Dr. Jaggar is
strongly opposed, however, to any re
habilitation of the devastated slopes of
the volcanoes until the respective gov
ernments of the islands are willing to
establish permanent experiment stations
to protect and warn the Inhabitants.
'In addition to his work on the Island
of St. Vincent and Martinique, Dr. Jag
gar has spent some time In Barbados,
collecting Information and specimens rela
tive to the spread of the dust fall which
appaars to have been much greater from
the Souffrlero vthan from Mount Pelee.
Before returning to the United States,
Professor Jaggar plans to visit the north
ern volcanoes of the Windward group
with a view to studying the conditions
of vogetatlon on such mountains as Pelee
S3 they were prior to the eruption.

"Since my elckness I always havo a
bottle of Peruna in the house; although
I do not take It as regularly as I did
during my illness. I would not be with
out it.
"My children have been taking It dur
ing the Winter months to make them
hardy. They, also take It in the Spring
In order to strengthen and better fit them
selves to stand the Summer heat.
"Your medicine has certainly done a
great deal for mo In saving me from
nervous prostration, and I sincerely wish
that all persons, whether sick or well
since this medicine also contains the qual
ities of an efficient and invigorating tonic
would give it a trial and be convinced
of Its merits." Mrs. Thomas J. Sharp.
In a recent letter to The Peruna Medi
cine Co.. Miss Julia Marlowe, of New
York City, has the following to eay of
Peruna:
"I am Rind to vrrlte my indorse
ment of the Rrent remedy, Perunn,
ns n nerve tonic. I do so most heart
ily." Jnlln Mnrlovrc.
Nervousness Is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are tho
reservoirs of nervous vitality. These cen
ters become bloodless for want of proper
i nutrition. This 1? especially true in the
warm season. Every Summer a host of
invalids are produced as the direct re
sult of weak nerves.
Thly could be easily obviated by the uae
of Peruna. Peruna strikes at- the root
tlon. Digestion furnishes nutrition for
tho nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes theee reservoirs of life with vi
tality, which leads to strong, steady
nerves, and thus nourishes life.
Peruna Is In great favor among women,
especially those who have vocations that
are trying to the nervous system. Pe
runa furnishes the lasting Invlgoratlon for
the nerves that t?uch people so much need.
Thousands of testimonials from women in
all parts of the United States are being
received every year. Such unsolicited
evidence surely proves that Peruna Is
without an equal as a nerve tonic and
vital Invlgorator.
Buy a bottle of Peruna. If you do not
receive all the benefits from Peruna that
you expected, write to Dr. Hartman, Co
