ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND
PHnPATtATIOXS FOR QUEES VIC
TORIA'S ran.
Pot and Pans end Otlicr Pnrapher
. noli Urtc Already Gone
The Queen's Health.
LONDON. March 21. Tho Ufa
Guards, couriers, carriages, pots and
pans and other royal paraphernalia
have already gone to the Royal
Isle, which eagerly traits for Queen Vic
toria to follow. How Her Majesty will
be received and the prospects of her
doings In Dublin have quite overshadowed
all other topics,, even In a week which
has been marked by the annual Inter
varslty boat race, the resignation or the
Duke of Norfolk as Postmaster-General,
the announcement of the Delagoa Bay
Railroad award, and the rumors of pos
Elble war in the far East. Great Brit
ain's own war In South Africa has almost
been forgotten, so uninteresting has been
the progress of peace In the Orange Free
State, compared with the stirring accounts
of battles which the British people had
grown accustomed to read dally.
The Queen Is said to be In excellent
health, and well able to bear the strain of
the trip to Ireland. She commences her
Journey April 2, and sleeps on board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert, landing
at Kingstown April 4. In anticipation of
Her Majesty's progress through the city,
the streets of Dublin are already gay
'With flags and decorations. A curious
feature of the preparations at the Vice
regal Lodge, where the Queen will stay,
are the pots and pans already referred
to. Her Majesty Is tremendously par
ticular about her kitchen arrangements,
and those at the Viceregal Lodge were
found to be quite below the royal stand
ard. Consequently no less than 309 cop
per frlcandeau pans. E4 saucepans, SO
copper stock pots and many other vari
eties of cooking utensils havo been sent
to Dublin especially for tho visit. The
Earl of Denbigh, who goes to Ireland as
Chief of the Royal Entourage and Lord-ln-Walting,
holds three Irish titles, and
was formerly Ald-de-Camp to the Lord
'Lieutenant.
However, though the Queen is raid to
be full of excitement and enthusiastic In
regard to her approaching visit, she Is
not forgetful of South Africa. A story
Is going the rounds that the Queen re
marked that she was aware many peo
ple Imagined her anxiety about the war
would cause her death. "I may die."
added Her Majesty, "but it will be from
some other cause. I do not mean to let
Mr. Kruger kill me."
The United States cruiser Albany
remains at Newcastle, though her
.officers expected she would have
sailed long before this. Several weeks
will probably elapse before she leaves
England, no opportunity having yet
been secured for testing her guns, and
several minor chanpr are being made.
In the meanwhile her officers and. crew
are having a dreary time at Newcastle.
Captain Craig managed to get steam heat
put In for the crews, but the officers'
quarters are merely warmed by a couple
,of .stoves, which arrangement, during the
recent bitterly cold weather, has not ad
ded to the happiness of their existence.

Stenncnberff Presents the Petition of
the People of Coenr d'Alene.
"WASHINGTON, March ZL Governor
Steunenberg, of Idaho, today called at
the War Department and presented la
person to Secretary Root the petition to
which he referred while under examina
tion before the House committee on mili
tary affairs. In favor of the retention of
the Federal troops In the disturbed min
ing districts. The Governor had refused
to produce the petition before the commit
tee until he had first submitted It to tha
Secretary of War, to whom It was ad
dressed. The petition bears about 2300 signatures,
and recites that all of the signers art
citizens of Idaho and of the County .of
Shoshone and the Coeur d'Alene mining
district. They petition that the Secretary
of War allow the small force of Federal
troops to remain In the quarters provided
fpr them and occupied by them at the
town of Osburn. Shoshone County, for ai
long a time as Governor Steunenberg may
think their presence necessary for the
preservation of peace and order. The citi
zens also erprcss their approval of all the
acts that have been done by the Governor
and the officials of the state to preserve
peace and order, and to bring criminals to
justice.
The petition says that some of the acts
of the state authorities may appear to
people at a distance to "be drastic and se
vere, but the signers, who arc familiar
with the conditions which existed for sev
eral years prior to the declaration of mar
tial law last May, know that drastic
measures' were necessary to stop the band
of conspirators who, shielding themselves
behind the name of labor organizations,
had created a reign of terror and tyranny
seldom equaled In the history of the com
munity. In conclusion the signers beg to state
that the efforts of the Governor and the
state officials, assisted by the military au
thorities, have brought peace and good
order to the district, and given an Im
petus to all business Interests, and a
sense of safety to all people, which are
highly appreciated, and for which the.
signers are grateful.

Roberts Reports the Dntch Army
LemlnR Ilrnndfort.
LONDON. March JL The War Office
has posted the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts, dated Bloemfonteln, March
30, evening:
"Reports point to the enemy's leaving
Brandfort and proceeding In a northerly
direction. The casualties In yesterday's
engagement were more numerous than at
first reported. Officers killed, two: wound
ed, ejght. Rank and file: Killed, 10;
wounded, 159; missing, 3."
Even the details of the engagement yes
terday at Karee Sidings station fall to
Instill much Interest. It appears to have
been a one-sided affair, although the
Boers stoutly held their ground against
a force threo or four times theirs, for threo
hours, when, foreseeing the danger of
the British cavalry enveloping their flanks,
the burghers withdrew In good order nn
their main body nt Brandfort, which, ac
cording to Roberts, they seem later to
have decided to relinquish with a view
doubtless of occupying a prepared position
further north. There will probably bo
a general shifting of camps on account of
tho Britishers' new position being made
a base of a further advance as soon as
the railroad is repaired.
Roberts today reported to the War Of
fice that he had received news from
Mafeklng up to March 10. The general
health of the garrison and Its spirits were

Execution of Morales and Gonsalea
Marks the Inauguration of a
jrerr Poller.
WASHINGTON, March 31. The execu
tion of Morales and Gonzalez, the Philip
pine leaders, marks the Inauguration of a
new policy In the Philippines. This is the
execution of the death sentence by order
of the military officers In command in the
lases of persons, natives or others, con
victed and sentenced by military commis
sions organized under the rules of war.
Moralez and Gonzalez were convicted by
a military commission of the murder of
Filipinos, and were sentenced to be hanged
near Dayambang March 30, and 'the press
dispatches from Manila show that the sen
tence was carried Into effect. No official
report of the cases has been received at
the War Department. There have been
several cases where the death penalty
was Imposed by military tribunals, but up
to the present Instance no case where the
death sentence was carried Into effect. All
the previous cases were submitted to the
President for final action, and in every
Instance the sentence was commuted "to
Imprisonment for life. It is stated that
General Otis' action Is undoubtedly Intend
ed to suppress brigandage' and outlawry In
the Philippines, but some conservative
officers fear that his summary action may
Jeopardize the safety of American pris

SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO. March
21. During the past 10 days the Puerto
RIcan people have evinced unusual In
terest In their affairs, and in tho future
of the Island, as It Is being handled by
Congress. Until the tariff question is
settled, business In Puerto Rico will re
main at a standstill. The laboring classes
are on the verge of starvation; 'there is
work for them to do, but the planters
who need their services are without funds
with which to employ them. The people
here say: "Let the tariff bo settled, eltner
a free-trade bill or a 15 or 23 per cent bill,
and the feeling of uncertainty will be
raised. Trade will be revived. Tho banks
will advance to the planters, the plant
ers will employ the starving, and Puerto
Rico will boom."
The 17th Inst, the Chamber of Commerce
held a special meeting, at which it was

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Cnleis It Is Di
gested. Nearly every ono will admit that as a
Nation we eat too much meat and too lit
tle of vegetables and the grains.
For business men. office men. and clerks,
and in fact every one engaged ln sedent
ary or Indoor occupations, grains, milk
and vegetables are much more health
ful. Only men engaged In severe outdoorJ
manual laoor can live on a neavy meai
diet and continue In health.
As a general rule, meat once a day Is
sufficient for all classes of men, women
and children, and grains, fruit and vege
tables should constitute tho bulk of food
eaten.
But many of tho most nutritious foods
ore difficult of digestion, and It Is of no
uso to advise brain-workers to eat largely
of grains and vegetables where the diges
tion Is too weak to assimilate them prop
erly. It Is always best to get the best resutts
from our food that some eimplo and harm
less digestive should be taken after meals
to assist the relaxed digestive organs, hnd
several years' experience have proven Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablots to be a very safe,
pleasant and effective digestive and a rem
edy which may be taken dally with 'the
best results.
Stuart's Dyspesia Tablets can hardly be
called a patent medicine, as they do not
act on the bowels nor any particular or
gan, but only on the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomachs lackt pepsin
diastase, and by stimulating the gastric
glands. Increase the natural secretion of
hydrochloric acid.
People who make a dally practice of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal are sure to have
perfect digestion, which means perfect
health.
There Is no danger of forming an Injuri
ous habit, as tho tablets contain abso
lutely nothing but natural digestives; co
caine, morphine and similar drugs have
no place in a stomach medicine, and Stu
art's Dyspepeia Tablets are certainly the
best known and most popular of all stom
ach remedies.
Ask your druggist for a fifty-cent pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
after a week's use, note the Improvement

had the slncerest sympathy of General
Davis, and his hopes that an Immediate
settlement will be made. The , crowd
cheered, shouting, "Viva la Estados
Unldos," "Viva El General Davis."
Throughout the day and during the fol
lowing days telegrams reporting similar
proceedings In other towns began to ac
cumulate on the Governor-General's desk.
For the past 10 days hardly a day has

TESTIMONY ON REBATES..
Finishes the Los Ana-eles Hearing;.
Interstate Commerce Commission
LOS ANGELES, March SL F. T. Fay,
of the Fay Fruit Company, testified today
before the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. He has received rebates from th
three fruit car lines doing1 business In Cali
fornia, both when cars were refrigerated
and when they were not, the rebates
ranging from 310 to CO. the latter being
for refrigerated cars to the extreme East.
Samuel Westfall, of Westfall Bros.,
said his company has had rebates for sev
eral years from the car lines.
Leland Lyon, of Rediands, testified that
his company has received rebates from
fruit car lines for orange shipments, and
small rebates from Eastern roads, par
ticularly the Clover Leaf line.
The secretaries of a number of local
fruit exchanges testified that they have
protested against California Fruit Union
cars on the ground that they did not want
to put their affairs In the hands of a
competitor, but the railroads have forced
them to use the cars.
The testimony of E. Earl, president of
the Earl Fruit Company and the Con
tinental Fruit Exchange, closed the ses
sion Ib this city of the commission. Earl
was led to admit that he has paid rebates
to the -shippers of citrus fruits. He was
put through rigid questioning by the com
missioners ns to the source from which
the money came which enabled him to
pay the rebates, and he stated that he
received a mileage generally from the
Eastern roads of of a cent, and In cer
tain cases, where there was a keen rivalry
between the roads, they had made him spe
cial allowances, though this never cams
In the form of what he called rebates, but
as additional mileage allowance. He
could not remember any of the roods
which had made such allowances except
the Clover Leaf line. Acting President
Clements protested against leaving this
road to stand the brunt of making the al
lowance alone, when the testimony showed
that many Eastern roads must have made
similar allowances.
Counterfeiter Arrested.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 31.-Robert
Bradley, alias Barclay, a would-be coun
terfeiter, has been arrested In this city
by United States Secret Service Agent
Hazen. The man was apprehended In a
room at E2 Clay street and a display of
revolvers was necessary to Induce him to
surrender. Bradley was armed and told
the officials frankly that they were lucky
In having secured the "drop."
Agent Hazen captured with his prisoner
a complete outfit for the manufacture of
counterfeit dollars. The die's were of steel
and are pronounced by Hazen to be among
the best he has ever seen. He was well
supplied with metal. Including Mexican
dollars, which he had Intended to melt
and transform Into coin of the United
States. At the time of his arrest, Brad
Icy had a fire In full blast and had his
crucfbles and metals In readiness to pro
ceed with the process of manufacture.
The prisoner came here from Montana,
where he is said to have an Interest In
several silver mines.
Oit Record Droken nt Tncoma.
The Grlggs-Tidmarsh match on the Ta
coma Club links last FrldayXwas the most
notable one that has been played on the
course this year. Mr. Grlgga beat all pre
vious records In thl3 match by scoring
the lS-ho!e. course in 81, while Mr. TW
marsh showed both nerve and skill in fol
lowing hlra with the excellent score of
SS, says the Ledger. To appreciate this
play, it must be remembered that changes
In the course since last season have added
two strokes to tho "bogey." The" best
previous recora over the old course was
a. also made by Mr. Griggs, so that the
new record of SI Is the equivalent of do
ing the round of .the old course In 79. and
Mr. Tldmarsh's SS. minus tho added 2.
comes within 3 of the old record of S3.
Theso are two remarkable scores to bo
made In one competition, and will proba
bly stand on record for some time as tho
