ALL ELSE FORGOTTEN
Mafeking the Sole Topic of
Conversation in London.
RUSSIA'S LATEST DEAL WITH COREA
Ghastly Statistics of the Indian
Famine American Explorations
in Abyssinia.
LONDON. May 19. Mafeking, the splen
did stand of Its heroic defenders and their
timely relief, formed the sole topic of
conversation here, the other events of the
week being entirely swept out of the mem
ory of the people of England. In fact,
they have well-nigh forgotten Lord Rob
erts and the main object of the war. o
overwhelming Is their rejoicing over the
deliverance of the garrison of the little
African village. Neither Klmberley nor
Ladysmlth appealed to their sympathies
as did Mafeking. and It will probably be
days before the country will settle down
to a sober appreciation of the struggle still
going on on the African plains, and which
still presents serious military problems.
The successful turn that affairs have
taken In South Africa. Is most fortunate
for Lord Salisbury, as his weakest point,
his foreign administration, had threat
ened to become an all too prominent topic
The news that Russia had secured a coal
d-epot In Corea. as announced May 18 In a
dispatch to the Times from Peking, has
raised" a storm of Indignation, and many
of the conservative organs have declared
that It Is merely another unfortunate In
stance of the Premier's Incapability to
protect British interests in the far East.
Among those who study Chinese questions,
the belief obtains that Russia's latest
move Is a direct breach of contract with,
and a blow against. Great Britain and
Japan, which brings these nations face
to face with a grave crisis, which pusil
lanimous disloyalty will neither amend
nor destroy.
According to the latest story .going
the rounds, "Bobs" fights on "Bath
Olivers." These are not a new
fangled form of compressed ration, but a
simple-looking "biscuit made at Bath, the
first recipe for which Is credited to the
celebrated Ir. Oliver, a friend of the
Pope and other ISth century notabilities.
"Bobs" apparently took out a large sup
ply of these, and since has sent for more,
which were taken by Lady Roberts.
Regarding General Bugler and his cup
plies, there is also an Interesting anec
dote current. Buller, It appears, tele
graphed from Natal to some wine mer
chants to send out 50 cases of champagne,
marked "castor oil." About the time the
wine was due, Buller wired to the offi
cer in charge of the base notifying him
that he expected 50 cases of castor oil,
which he wished dispatched without de
lay. The officer at the base replied, re
gretting the cases had not arrived, but
saying he had procured all the available
castor oil, 20 cases, which he had forward
ed in the hope It would suffice for the
present. General Buller's remarks are not
recorded.
It Is estimated that 6,000,000 ($30.
000,000) was- represented In jewelry
among the audience at the opening
night of Grau's opera. Yet the most
brilliant night of the week, so far
as costumes and enthusiasm are con
cerned, was the one which was made nota
ble by Mme. Calve's first appearance this
season as Carmen, Friday, May 18, though
many of the royalties were detained at
Windsor by the christening of the son ol
the Duke and Duchess of York. The
Duke and Duchess of Fife, Earl and
Countess Cadogan, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley
Martin, Lady Randolph Churchill. J. P.
Morgan and many other prominent Amer
icans were present.
The presence of the Princess of "Wales
at a performance of "Quo Vadis" this
week seems to have the effect of turning
the tide of fortune towards that produc
tion, in spite of the press attacks. The
Princess' presence seems to have demon
strated that the play contains nothing to
offend the Christian conscience and the
box office at last shows a balance on the
profit side of the ledger.
Franklin McLeay, a young Canadian
long Identified with Beerbohm Tree's suc
cesses, has the support of the Canadian
High Commissioner, Lord Strathcona and
Mount Royal, and many other prominent
colonials in a matinee which McLeay is
arranging to take place at the Drury
Lane Juno 19, for the benefit of the Ot
tawa fire sufferers. Sir Henry Irving ha
cabled his Intention to participate, and E.
S. Wlllard will reappear for the first time
in two years on the same occasion. Mc
Leay and Tree are to do the third act
of "Othello."
Charles Frohman has secured the
American rlshta of Carton's comedy,
"Lady Huntworth's Experiment," and
Walter Frlth's "Man of Forty."
Fresh advices from the expedition to
Abyssinia, headed by William F. White
house, of Newport. R. I., show the party
will probably divide near Lake Rudolph,
if it is found that in the country to the
north, between the lake and the Nile,
there Is difficulty in obtaining supplies.
This Is regarded as probable, as the
country has not been explored, and Is
reported to he contjnualjy raided.
The expedition had, according to the last
news received, 04 camels, but there was
an insufficient amount of food, which may
necessitate only a portion of the party
of travelers proceeding to the Nile while
the remainder may retrace their steps
to the coast.
While parts of the United States have
been sweltering. England and most of
Europe returned to Winter furs and the
heaviest overcoats this week. Northeast
winds, amounting to a gale In many
places, have devastated the fruit blos
soms In the country, and the prospects
of the orchards are decidedly unfavor
able. American Interest In the Derby was
stimulated this week by the excellent re
ports of James R. Keene's Disguise II
Those who recall the tragic end of Tod
Sloan's mount on Holocaust In 1E99 are
watching with renewed Interest the de
velopments of his Keene mount this year.
The University of Oxford intends to
confer the honorary degree of Doctor of
Divinity on tho Rev. Morgan Dlx, of Trin.
lty Church, New York.
One of the curious features of the last
few days Is the persistency with which
the Express has kept up a campaign
against Richard Croker. of New York.
Unlike the Duke of Orleans. Mr. Croker
remains serenely Impassive, neither show
ing any sign of giving up his residence In
England nor writing self-excusing letters
A correspondent wired him. asking him If
he had anything to say in reply to the
Express, whereupon Mr. Croker wired
back. "I don't know what you refer to;
am well.' apparently thinking that noth
ing more serious could come up than re
iterated reports of his death.
The Barrymore peerage will be revived
in favor of the Right Hon. Arthur Hugh
Smith Barn', chairman of the National
Union of Conservative Associations. It
became extinct in 1S24 with the death of
tho ICth Earl Barrymore. who was one of
the largest of the large landowners In
Ireland. Mr. Smith Barry maintains that
he is the rightful Baron Barrymore. It
is one of the ancient Irish peerages, and
was In existence long before it was for
mally recognized by Henry VIII. The
Right Hon. Arthur Hugh Smith Barry,
who was born In 1WS. was first married
to a daughter of Lord Dunraven. who
died in 1ES4. and In 1SS9 he married Mrs.
Elizabeth Tost, of 'ew York, widow of
Mr. Arthur Post, and deoighter of Gen
eral Wadsworth, United States Army, of
Genessee, N. Y.
The Highland people are wondering
hugely at the amount of steel Mr. An
drew Carnegie Is using In the erection
of his addition to Skibo Castle- These
"sleepy-hollowers" have never before seen
a building so done. All comes from Pitts
burg. Skibo is now locally dubbed "Iron
Castle." It Is said that a mason mistook
the millionaire for some poor visitor and
patronized him. On learning his identity,
he excused himself, saying he "ought to
wear better clothes, so that people may
be able to tell who you are." The Tailor,
a newspaper, evidently agrees with the
mason, for In a criticism of the clothes
represented at this year's Academy it
declares that the lapels of (Mr. Carnegie's
coat were clumsy, the edges very wot
bly, and had been forced through a ma
chine of the worst character.
Scotland Is fast losing Its reputation for
piety. Last year's statistics. Just issued,
show the prisons were full to overflowing,
and that the officials were at their wits'
ends to know where to confine the cul
prits. The number of prisoners shows an
Increase of over GOO, chiefly due to hus
bands attacking their wives and Inde
cent assaults, which the commissioners
declare spring fom intemperance.
The Secretary of State for India, Lord
Gcorre Hamilton, has granted the Asso

SOUVENIR -BUTTON COUPON.

at the capitulation of Manila. The entire proceeds will go to the soldiers
monument fund. Buttons are 25 cents each, in any Quantity. In ordering,

Canada.
Secretary Souvenir .Button Committee,
Box S47, Portland, Oregon
Dear Sir: You will find enclosed the sum of In
for which please send apanlsh-American War Souvenir Buttons,
with backs, to tho following addresses:
up to date In his department dealing with
the Indian famine. What, for Instance,
could better tell the tale of sorrow than
the report of the resident at Kherwera, in
Rajpootana? With careful regard for
the regulation governing communications,
he abruptly commences:
"Kherwera Crops, practically nil; water,
hardly any; cattle, all dead; fodder, none;
people, thriftless class dead, people with
small means at the end of their resources
and either on relief works or dying; crime,
abnormal.
"I have tried to keep the Kherwera Ba
zaar open to all. but, as I have only C000
rupees, lent mo by the Merwaer at Da
bar, with which to purchase grain. I have
miserably failed, and hundreds come to
mo dally for permission to buy, and have
to be refused."
In the course of a cheery report, the
resident of Western Rajpootana expresses
regret that he Is obliged to record 3G67
deaths as occurring in the famine camps,
hospitals and poorhouses in the compara
tively small state of Marwar during
March; while another resident supplements
tills ghastly record of wholesale mortality
by remarking that at Dhaulera, out of
0,000 persons congregated around the re
lief works 1719 died between February 23
and March 25. and this has no bearing on
the Inroads of the plague or cholera. From
the latter cause 671 died at Naghpoore dur
ing March.

com. While the vote was being counted Ma
loney arose and made objection to the
five votes of San Juan County as cast.
It transpired that Maloney and Judge

had agreed to vote them together. Million
accused Maloney of bad faith, and de
clared he was not surprised at his break
ing his word. Maloney Insisted on his
right to vote one-half of the county. The
Incident ended with the discovery that
the credentials committee had given no
one the right to vote for Spokane. The

TERFERKG WITH MAIL CURS.
3fe Frogrrcss Made Toward a Settle-
meat of the St. Loals Trouble A.
Monster Labor Parade.
ST. LOUIS, May 19. The strike situa
tion is unchanged. So far as can be
learned, the St. Louis Transit Company
today had In operation on 14 of the 22
lines composing It3 system about 150 cars.
Eight hundred were In operation before
the strike began. During the past few
days Interference by mobs has become so
general, and the casualties reported so
many, that it was stated today the au
thorities will arm the police officers
guarding the cars, with shotguns loaded
with buckshot, and they will be instruct
ed to fire Into mobs who attempt to In
terfere with the running of cars or with
the crews In the discharge of their du
ties. Nearly 70 employes of the Transit
Company, mostly motormen, have been
under the surgeon's care since the strike
began.
The Transit Company decided not to run
cars after 12:30 today, fearing trouble on
account of the great labor parade.

Yours Truly,
On complaint of Postmaster Baumhoff
and other employes of the Postoffice De
partment. United States District Attor
ney Rozler today appeared In the United
States District Court and asked for an
injunction restraining the strikers from
interfering with the operaton of mail

ternational Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employes; Chairman Mc
Mlssick, of the executive committee of

the strike leaders and others who are in
terfering with the running of mall cars
In St. Louts would be issued. The in
junction is temporary, and will stand un
til the motion for a permanent injunction
is argued May 28. The injunction is vcrj
sweeping, and grants all that was asked
for In the motion of United States Dis
trict Attorney Rozler.
The labor parade was a success la
point of numbers and enthusiasm, about
7000 being In line. Banners and transpar
encies', carrying mottoes Indorsing the
strike and pronouncing in favor of a sym
pathetic movement, were numerous
throughout the column, which marched
through many of tho down-town streets
between 4 and 6 o'clock.
No progress was made today toward a
settlement of the strike.

THE PROMISE OF SPRING AND SUMMER
There is no impropriety in calling
attention to the fact that the Spring and
Summer months afford the best time for
the treatment of Catarrh.
This has been frequently done by physi
cians who assume to treat this disease,
perhaps to Increoso their practice during
the Spring and Summer. Yet, from what
ever motive, their teaching on this point
at least has been true enough.
Spring and Summer do afford the best
time to cure Catarrhal conditions.
The Greatest Results Yet to Be
Reached.
And It Is moreover appropriate at Just
this time of tho year, while the Interest
of the community over this marvelous
treatment which Doctor Copeland has
given to the world Is at its height; while
the testimony Is pouring In and filling the
newspaper columns regarding the cures
which this treatment is accomplishing,
that It should be mado very clear that the
marvelous measure of his success has by
no means been reached: that it is during
the next few months, during the favora
ble influence of the Spring and Summer
season, that the most splendid and uni
form results will be made apparent.
It has been seen, even during the in
INVARIABLE CURE OF CATARRH
UNDER COPELAND TREATMENT
Sir. George Sana, Jr., Tualatin, Or.,
engaged In the lumber and sawmill busi
ness and well known: I suffered with
Catarrh since childhood. My nose was
always, stopped up, first one side, then
the other. At times I could not breathe
through my nose at all, but was compelled
to breathe through my mouth, especially
at night. I had dull headache. There
was a discharge from the nose and drop
ping into the throat, causing me to cough
Mr. George Snnm, Jr., Tanlatln, Or.
and keeping the throat irritated and in
flamed. My hearing was also greatly im
paired. My whole system seemed to be under
mined toy the poisons of Catarrh. I had
pain and soreness In tho chest and under
the shoulder-blades, and my breathing was
short and difficult. My stomach wa3
weak, and food was not properly digested.
My sleep was unrefreshing, and I got up In
the morning ao tired as when I went to
bed.
After doctoring for years, I was finally
persuaded by a friend to take up a course
of treatment at the Copeland Institute.
My Improvement was very slow, and It
often seemed I would not get well, but
now I am In better health than ever be
fore. I have no aches or pain. My breath
ing is clear, and my hearing Is perfect.
Mr. Al Thornton, Vancouver,
Wash.: For 20 years I suffered with my
head and stomach. I was bloated with
gas, had soreness and pain In the stom
ach and heart palpitation. I was weak
and unfit for work. The Copeland phy
sicians cured me thoroughly and perma
nently. Mr. Lecester Snipes, The Dalle,
Or.: Mine was a complicated case and of
long standing. One doctor said I had
Asthma; another that I had Consumption
and could not get well. I had a bad
cough, pains in the chest and through the
left lung. The air passages seemed con
tracted and closed. I wao famishing for
breath half the night, unable to sleep or
reet in bed, Drs. Copeland and Montgomery
cured me after everything else had failed.

three well-known Fenians, who were a
few days later recognized at Vancouver.
Orders were given to sentries to shoot
after the failure to reply to a second chal
lenge, and to shoot to kill. Wednesday
night. Just at midnight, four men were
discovered by the sentries within the line
of first outposts, and they were just
abreast of the Fort McCauley works, and
within a short distance of the large dock
of the North Pacific squadron. Two
guards challenged almost simultaneously.
There was no response, and the dimly
outl'ned figures crouched to the ground.
Tho guards challenged again, and at this
several other sentries immediately fired.
By the time a search party had been
formed there was much confusion, and
tho men succeeded in running past the
outer outposts.
WORK OF SIGNAL CORPS.
Telegraph and Cable Lines in the
Philippines.
WASHINGTON, May 19. A new prog
ress map of signal corps, telegraph lines
and cables In- the Philippines, Just pre
pared under the direction of General Gree
ly, Is of especial Interest at this time. It
shows not only the system as it existed
on March 31. but also projected military
telegraph lines and cables now in process
of construction.
Telegraphic communication between Ma
nila and the south has been entirely de
pendent upon the English cable to the
Visayan Islands of Panay, Negros and
Cebu. This cable, which was broken by
an earthquake on April 14. has not yet
been repaired, and the long interruption
emphasizes the great military importance
of the alternate telegraph route to the
southern Islands from Manila, which Is
now being constructed by the Signal
Corps. It is expected that the entire Vis
ayan group will be connected by military
clement and unfriendly influences of the
severe and the changeable weather, how
hte treatment, even against the Influonco
of the climate and weather, reaches and
curqs common Catarrh and Catarrh of the
Throat and Catarrh of the Vocal Corde,
Deafness, Bronchial Catarrh and Catarrh
of the Lungs. ,
Nature Lends Her Aid.
From now on these wonderful tests will
be made even under more favorable 'in
fluences, and all sufferers from Catarrhal
or Bronchial difficulties, from diseases of
tho Ear, the Throat, the Bronchial Tubs
or Lungs should recognize this and avail
themselves of the knowledge.
In the Spring and Summer, Nature lends
her aid to the work of the physician, the
causes that produce Catarrhal conditions
are less active, liability to cold is reduced.
One month of Spring or Summer treat-'
ment is worth two months of tho moat
careful Winter treatment, and if all who
suffer from Catarrh were wise enough to
devote a little of the Summer to treat
ment, there would soon be few case3 ot
Catarrh to treat; cases ot Deafness would
become rare, head noises a curiosity and
chronic coughs and Consumption would:
be reduced to a minimum.
A LETTER FROM
A CURED PATIENT.
Mr. A. D. Honklns, of ZVIcMlnnville,
Or., writes: Please excuse me for not
writing before. I was improving right
along and did not think it necessary. I
was a great sufferer from rheumatism and
catarrh, and it seemed I could not bo
cured. Your medicine did more for mo
In a short time than all the other medi
cine I took put together. I feel better
now than I have in 18 months. I will not
send for medicine because I do not need
it.
I have recommended several friends to
you, and never fail to say a good word
for your excellent treatment, for I know
It does cure where others have failed. You
may publish this letter if you care to do
so.
Mr. J. Martin, Oregon City, Or.i
When I began treatment at the Copeland
Institute I had little hopes of. a cure. My
stomach and bowels were In a terrible
condition. I had diarrhoea, with awful,
cramp-like pains. Food did not digest,
but caused bloating and great distress.
I had lost 35 pounds.
I had been treated by no less than 10
physicians, but they could do nothing for
me. Upon the advice of friends, I placed
myself under treatment with Drs. Cope
kind and Montgomery. I am always
pleased to praleo these physicians for their
excellent and successful treatment of my
case. They cured me.
Captain W. H. Foster, of the
ATblna ferry, residing at 439 Goldsmith
street, Portland: When I began treat

been a sufferer from Catarrh of the head
and stomach. I could not cat or sleep,
and had loet 20 pounds. I am now in good
health.
