DYNAMITER AND MURDERER Coming Visit of Ford and Condon to England Causes TTnlonlst to Prod Nationalist, and Parlia ment Enjoys Scene. LONDON, Nov. 16. The approaching visit to this country of Patrick Ford, editor of the Irish World of New York, and CMeagher Condon was the oc casion for an extraordinary attack in the House of Commons today. James Craig:. Unionist member from the east ern district of Down, opened the fight by asking Premier Asquith If he were aware that Mr. Ford, who had been declared to be known as an advocate of the use of dynamite, and Mr. Condon, who had been sentenced to death for the murder of an English policeman, intended visiting- the country. Mr. Craig asked also whether their licenses permitted them to do so and If not, what action the executive proposed to take. Earl Wynterton, Conservative, fol lowed this up with a reference to the finding of the Parrell commission by asking whether "any steps had been taken to prevent these well-known agi tators from coming to this country." Home Secretary Gladstone answered Mr. Wynterton in these words: "I am not aware of the Intentions of these persons. Neither of them is the holder of a license." John Redmond Immediately jumped to "his feet and hotly appealed to the Speaker. One of the persons mentioned, he informed the Speaker, was an of ficial of the American Government and it was incredible that such epithets were permitted to be applied to a high official who has been In the service of the United States for 20 years. The Speaker agreed that, if the statements in question were not true, they ought not to appear. Mr. Craig offered to send Mr. Redmond proof of the truth of the facts stated In his question. Mr. Gladstone, recognizing the In sufficiency of his first reply, supple mented ic with the following state ment: "Mr. Ford, so far as I know, has not been convicted of any criminal offense In this country; as regards Mr. Condon, a royal pardon under the great seal was given him." SEND HINDUS TO HONDURAS Canada Makes Arrangements to Move Brltisb Columbia Colony. VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 16. (Spe cial.) J. B. Harkin, private secretary of the Minister of Interior, who was aent to British Honduras to arrange for the removal to that country of 2000 Hindus, most of whom are now out of employ ment in British Columbia, has returned to Ottawa and all that now remains to be settled Is the question of transporta- tlon. , The Hindus will have to be taken across the continent, so as to embark at Halifax, and this will necessarily in volve a considerable outlay. It is ex pected, however, that Canada will not have to carry this load alone. The Hindu delegates who were taken to Hon duras seemed satisfied and the wages which were offered them of tl2 a month, although not excessive, are still much larger than the 10 cents a day they would receive at home. It is expected that ar rangements for transportation of 1000 of the British colony of Hindus to Hondu ras, who have been promised employ ment if they are sent there, will shortly be made. The authorities are anxious to have matters cleared up by the mid dle of next month. CHAMBERLAIN GOING EAST WILL ATTEND MEETING OF GOV ERNORS AT -WASHINGTON. Denies Report His Mission Is to Ask Federal Government to Keep Hands Off Senatorial Fight. SALEM, Or., Nov. 16. (Special.) "I am going to Washington about the first of December, but not for the purpose of asking the National administration to keep out of the Senatorial fight in Ore gon," said Governor Chamberlain today when Inquiry was made as to the truth of the report that he had such a mis sion in view. The report had gained circulation some time ago that after the Federal election, if Taft should win. the Influence of the administration would be brought to bear In Oregon to prevent the election of a Democrat to the Senate from this state. A few days ago. when It became known that the Governor is soon to make a trip to Washington, it was rumored that his purpose was to request the ad ministration to leave Oregon to settle Its own political contests. "There is absolutely no foundation for such a report," continued the Gov ernor. "I have been urged by Gilford Pinchot, of the Bureau of Forestry, to attend the conference on the conserva tion of natural resources, which meets in Washington December 8. I had not intended to go because I shall be busy writing my message to the Legislature, but a few days ago I was urgently re quested by Herman Wittenburg and A. H. Devers, of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, to reconsider the matter and attend that conference and also the session of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, which will convene in Washington about the same time. Upon their solicitation and that of J. N. Teal, who represents the conserva tion committee, I decided to go. These are meetings In which Oregon Is vitally Interested and If I can be of any assistance I shall be pleased to do what I can. "I have no Intention of asking the administration to keep out of the Senatorial election In this state, for I do not believe Federal officials will interfere. I am giving the matter no thought or intention for I assume that the 61 members of the Legislature will faithfully keep their pledge to the peo ple regarding the election of Sena tor." Governor Chamberlain will probably leave November 30 or December 1 and will be In Washington from about De cember 6 to 13. OIL- TRUST DIVIDES PROFITS Quarterly Dividend of $10 Per Share, Total $40, Declared. NEW YORK, Nov. 16.

In Germany and Austria alone there are more than BO Americans singing in opera, and It is safe to predict that each year Tv1M rerord an pvor-lnf ra-lug number. Most Treatments for Rheumatism Are Experimental It is unnec essary to tell the sufferer from inflam matory rheu matism that the ordinary treatments for this dis ease are un satisfactory. Physicians are not of. one mind on the subject but the highest authorities hold that rheumatism is a disease of the blood. All admit that in attacks of rheuma tism there is a marked and rapid thinning of the blood. This is a condition that a treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at once arrests and corrects. The thm blood is enriched, the strength ened organs of the body throw off the poisonous impurities and the patient gets -well. With the fact hi mind that the rheumatism is in the blood, it will readily be seen how useless it is to try to cure it by rubbing liniments on the tkin. External applications may give temporary relief from pain but to cure rheu matism you must treat it throngh the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured hundreds of cases of rheumatism and no sufferer should allow any prejudice to stand in the way of giving these pills a thorough triaL Dr. Williams' Pink Puis are aoM by all druggists, or will be mailed, post paid, on receipt of price, joe per box ; six boxes for $1.50, by the Dr. WiTlisimi Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
