LORD MAYOR'S BANQUET
SALISBURY'S SPEECH KOT RECEIV
ED "WITH MUCH ENTHUSIASM.
Dutch. Menace in South Africa tr Be
Effectually Put Down-Beresford
to Ge to Parliament.
LONDON, Nov. 9. The Lord Mayor's
banquet at the Guild Hall tonight -was a
spectacular close of the day's festivities.
The historic building was the scene of a
brilliant pageant In -which modern and
mediaeval sights were strangely mingled.
A gathering of 2000 of the most Influen
tial citizens of London, including the
heads of the various government depart
ments, gave an opportunity for a loyal
demonstration of "which the government
was not slow to take advantage. Tb,e
presence of Lord Salisbury afforded an
excellent excuse for reiterating the at
titude of the government toward the
South African controversy. The response
of the great audience in the banquet hall
might be described as satisfactorily loyal,
but could hardly be called enthusiastic
The banquet -was preceded by the cus
tomary reception in the library room,
-where Sir Joseph Dimsdale, in his quaint
official robes, -welcomed the Ministers and
the various officials. Unlike last year's
reception, -when the -war fever was at Its
height, the military were decidedly a sec
ondary feature. Lord Roberts was con
spicuous by his absence and the War Of
fice was merely represented by one of the
Under secretaries. The feature of the
evening was Lord Salisbury's speech in
response to the toast to "His Majesty's
Ministers." Referring to the progress
of the war in South Africa, the Premier
said:
"It is pleasant to record that the peace
of the world has been so little disturbed
by the events of the last two years. Half
a century ago we would not have found
such a correct and pacific attitude on the
part of the great powers. It is a sug
gestive sign of the international amity
and understanding that the cloud of the
past three weeks over the Mediterranean
has so lightly passed away. Fifty years
'ago this would not have been so."
Touching upon South African develop
ments in another part of his speech, Lord
Salisbury said:
"I strongly deprecate the spirit of pes
simism so frequently heard in the utter
ances of some of our public men as to
the war in which we are engaged. Unlike
the wars of former years, no longer does
the capture of the enemy's capital and
the dissipation of his field force consti
tute a conclusive victory. "We are now
confronted by a system of guerrilla war
fare which must be slowly and effectually
stamped out We are progressing slowly,
perhaps, but steadily.
"I cannot take the public wholly into
the confidence of the government. It
would be most imprudent publicly to
state all we are doing weekly and month
ly at the front, but what I emphatically
declare is that, whatever delays are en
countered, these are due neither to a lack
of earnestness and ability on the part of
our Generals in the field, nor to a neg
lect to comply with all their demands on
the part of the homo government. We
have been subject to much vague and
indefinite criticism, but our bitterest op
ponents have not been able to point out
any tangible defect or any definite cause
of complaint.
"I deeply regret the ravages of the
war In the colonies, to which we
are anxious to accord the fullest
practicable measure of self-government.
But we have had nelghborrs in
South Africa whose conduct for years has
been a menace to the stability f that
section of our omplre. Now we are en
gaged in removing this menace and we
are determined to do It so that it will
never require doing again."
This declaration was received with cor
dial, but by no means enthusiastic, ap
plause. The government's naval policy is
soon likely to be brought prominent
ly and perhaps unpleasantly to pub
lic notice, as Rear-Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford will shortly be relieved of his
post as second In command of the Medi
terranean fleet and is coming home to
enter Parliament at the earliest oppor
tunity. Lord Beresford Intends to devote
his energies to a political career until
it comes his turn to command the Chan
nel squadron, which has always been the
height of his ambition. While on duty
in the Mediterranean, Lord Beresford
has won every sham battle In which he
was engaged.
During the long Cabinet conferences this
week, a representative of the Associated
Press learnB that the question of reinforc
ing the old ballot laws came up for dis
cussion. Many of the Cabinet Ministers
were strongly in favor of putting In. prac
tice this form of conscription, for which
certain obsolete laws already provide.
Thus new legislation would be obviated.
The War Secretary, Mr. Brodrlck, has al
ready caused guarded feelers on this mat
ter to be circulated In the press, for It
appears to be almost impossible to keep
the home forces up to adequate strength
and supply the necessary reinforcements
for South Africa on the volunteer sys
tem of enlistment alone. Such a strenu
ous measure, however, doubtless will
cause a storm of disapproval in Great
Britain, and will not be enacted until the
military situation becomes graver.
The appointment of Rev. Charles G.
Gore, canon of Westminster, to be bishop
of Worcester, has raised both a political
and ecclesiastical storm. Only a few
days previous to the announcement of his
appointment Mr. Gore came out in the
Times with a strong letter condemning
the concentration camps and other se
vere measures adopted in South Africa.
Several of the government organs stig
matized him as a pro-Boer, and deplored
the fact that such a talented author
should have been so hopelessly misled.
Their astonishment over Lord Salisbury's
appointment of Mr. Gore to the bishop's
bench was so great that it took away
their breath. Tha matter continues to be
the object of keen private criticism
among the lay and clerical supporters of
the government. In less prejudiced quar
ters, the affair is taken once more as
exemplifying Lord Salisbury's extra
ordinary cynicism and utter lack of In
terest in current events, though others
see In It another Instance of nepotism,
as the former head of the Pusey House at
Oxford and editor of the Lux Mundt Is
a connection of the Premier's family.
Among the curious features of the case
Is the fact that Canon Little, of Worces
ter, who replied to Mr. Gore's letter In
the Times, bitterly abusing the writer
and Intimating that Mr. Gore was almost
guilty of treason and was threatened
with insanity, now comes under the Juris
diction of the new bishop.
The fog played havoc with the theatri
cal business this week. Many -years have
elapsed since stress of weather compollcd
the closing of theaters, but the Prince of
Wales, the Criterion and the Garrick
closed this week on. every foggy night.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell finishes her Lon
don season November 16. She has added
a new comedy, "Dodo," on Benson's book
of that title, to her American repertoire,
also "Gypsy Marie," a comedy by Con
stance Smedley, and a translation of
DUmafi "Diane do Lys," by Gerald Du
maurler. Gerald Alexander revived "The
Importance of Being Earnest" during his
visit to Liverpool and Manchester, with
great success. Charles Frohmair has com
pleted arrangements for the production
at the Duke of York's theater In De
cember of the "Twin Sisters," an adap
tation by Louis Parker of "Die Zwilllnge
Scawestern, which will be followed by
a comedy which Plnero is writing for
Irene Van Brugh.
The Dally News today exhaustively
surveys the concentration camps In South
Africa with the following .conclusion;
"The truth i9 that the death rate in the
cainrc i? Incomparably worse than any
thing Africa or Asia can show. There is
nothing to match it, even in the mortal
ity figures ot the Indian famines, where
cholera andother epidemics have to' be
contended with."
Statistics are produced In proof of thfs
assertion and the government's- advertise
ment fqr teachers for the camp children,
setting forth 'that the term of employ
ment will be one year," Is prominently
'displayed as evidence that the aUthor
ilies have no intention of ending the
"wholesale destruction of human life."
The Dally News urges all humane men
not to wait for official reports, but to
Insist on the camps being broken up and
the people distributed among their friends
or removed to districts where a fresh at
tempt can be made under competent or
ganization and with some regard to the
preservation of life "that or extermina
tion and eternal stain on the name of
England."
READY -WITH MONEY.
(Continued from First Page.)
tive resources of the country are, and I
would have spacious grqunds laid off tor
that purpose and orect buildings from
the lumber of our country, which would
in itself be a large and significant ex
hibit Perhaps a considerable part of the
subscriptions can be paid in timber and
other materials necessary to use for the
Exposition. I' would not Indulge in any
extravagance but conduct the affair with
reasonable economy.
"We can hardly hope to attract muoh
European attention. But there are China
and Japan, the Philippines and other
Oriental countries with which we have
direct relations, and these and the Pa
cific Northwest will supply an abundance,
of exhibits desirable for such an exposi
tion as we contemplate. If we succeed
In bringing only 200,000 people here, the
average expense of each can hardly be
below ?20, which would be a total of
W.OQO.000.
"It Is first for us to provide this 5300,000.
Then we should get what we can from
the state. And If the city shall choose
to make a permanent park with an art
building or something of that sort as an
abiding pleasure for those who come to
Portland to bring up their children and
spend their latter days, as many are com
ing to do, that will be a material aid. Wc
have the best climate on earth, vand this
is a charming spot for homes. The city
may take advantage of this opportunity
to make Itself more attractive.
"I do not apprehend that by doing all
this we will be inviting a backset. "The
city will continue to grow because this is
a new country, rich in natural resources,
and It will continue to develop and Im
prove. This Is an empire In itself and
It is time we were making it known to
our neighbors in the East."
Mr. Corbett's remarks aroused consider
able enthusiasm, and they were plentiful
ly sprinkled with applause.
Do Not Attempt Too Much.
A. H. Devers was of the opinion that
we? should cut our coat according to our
cloth. He had In mind a modest fair.
Possibly the $300,000 would not be enough,
but the state surely could be relied on to
do Its share, and there would be other con
tributions. He hoped the city would get
an adequate park before the land should
get to be of prohibitive value.
A. B. Stelnbach said the chairman ex
pressed his views exactly.
A Work of 48 Hours Only.
Adolphe Wolfe expressed the conviction
that It was most Important for Portland
to set a good example to the people of the
state and to the neighboring states. He
did not believe it wise to hasten the an
nouncement of these partial subscriptions.
Each member of the committee, he said,
should consider the work of raising the
$300,000 his only work until that should be
accomplished. "This can be done in 48
hours when we get everything ready for
it," said he. "This Is no hasty conclusion
of mine; it Is my oarnost conviction afyer
much thought. We should record these
voluntary subscriptions that are 'drifting
in, but not make them public now. Wait
till wc get to the subscription business.
When the preparations are complete wc
can go out and complete the entire sum I
In two days, or three at the most. And
think of such an example on the other
committees that may be asked for sup
port! Every business man In the city
should be ready to do what he can when
the solicitors make their canvass, and
should do It immediately and without ar
gument or other waste of time."
Mr. Wittenberg expressed the fear that
$10 a share was too high to be reached by
the army of worklngmen who might be
disposed to aid the celebration to a less
extent. He estimated the number of
workmen In the city at 20,000. He suggest
ed the propriety of asking the various or
ganizations to take blocks of stock.
Too Early to Subscribe Now.
W. L. Boise also Indorsed the sentiments
of Chairman Corbett. He agreed with
Messrs. Wolfe and McKenna in that the
committee had not come together to sub
scribe funds, but to decide on how tho
money should be raised. A large number
of canvassers should be sent out the first
thing, and the money would be speedily
raised. There were special cases to be
dealt with, and he . advised . appropriate
handling. A committee of high standing
in the community should go to those ex
pected to make large subscriptions and
take care of them. Another committee
composed of men acquainted with that
particular phase of the question should go
to tho business people who derive direct
benefits from such an enterprise as this
celebration, and eo the work should be
divided all along the line.
There was some discussion of the pro
priety of puttfng In the subscription head
ing a provision that the sums subscribed
should not no called for at once, but that
was deemed inexpedient. As the sentiment
of this committee, however, Mr. Boise
moved that the subscriptions should be
called fdr Jn sums not larger than 25 per
cent at a time. Mr. McKenna wished to
make ll 10 per cent, but this was lost.
Mr. Bofse's motion then carried, and to
this was added the proviso that at least
six months should intervene between the
successive calls, thus spreading the pay
ments through two years. The under
standing was that the directors could dis
tribute the payments through a still long
er term If it should be found expedient to
do so.
For A Canvassing Committee.
After a good deal of talk about a sub
committee to nominate canvassing com
mittees, to which plan the chairman ob
jected on 'the ground that no small com
mittee was sufficiently acquainted over
the whole city to be able to get tho best
names for such extensive work, Julius L.
Meier moved for the appointment of a
committee to formulate a plan of action
for the general committee, 'and this mo
tion was adopted. Chairman Corbett was
made chairman of this sub-committee, and
the other members are Messrs. -Adelphe
Wolfe, H. W. Scott, H. C. Campbell and
I. N. Flelschner.
On General Summers' motion each mem
ber of the general committee was directed
to recommend, at the meeting to be held
Tuesday evening, six names of persons
outside the committee for appointment on
the canvassing committees, the idea being
that from these more than-200 names good
committees could be selected to cover the
entire city.
The meeting adjourned until Tuesday
evening, after Chairman Corbett an
nounced a meeting of the subcommittee
on plan of action at the First National
Bank at 3:30 Monday afternoon.
A Timely Suggestion.
This Is the season of the year when the
prudent and careful housewife replenishes
her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. It is certain to be needed before the
Winter fs over, and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when it la kept
at hand and given as soon as the cold is
contracted and before it has become set
tled n the system. In almost every In
stance a severe cold may be warded off
by taking this remedy freely as soon as
the first Indication of the cold appears.
There Is no danger in giving it to chil
dren, for it contains no harmful substance.
It Is pleasant to take both .adults and
children like it. Buy it and you will get
the best. It always cures, For sale by all

Calllard Welcomed. o.t .3Iiylene.
PARIS, Nbv. 9. Admiral Calllard has
telegraphed particulars of the Seizure of
the customs at the principal port of the
Island or Mltylene. He says that Tn con
sequence of the sympathetic welcome ex
tended to his squadron, he landed only a
single company of marines, who were re
ceived with marked confidence by all the
inhabitants.
Telegraphic communication between
Constantinople' and Mltylene Is now re

at Constantinople, notifies the French
Government that the porta has handed

DISORDERS IX TURKEY.
Effect of the French Seizure on tho
Crumbling Empire.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9. Tho Sultan'o
yielding to the French demands brings out
the full gravity of the possibilities of the
effect of the French seizure of Mltylene
upon the crumbling edifice of Turkish
despotism, says the Constantinople corre
spondent of the WorlcL The .whole of
European Turkey is seething with disor
der. In Armenia the annual butcheries
have been in full swing for the past three
months, and In the remainder of the em
pire there is the perennial violence, cor
ruption, waste and lawlessness. From tho
army down to the magistracy, every part
of the machine of government Is in a
hopeless condition. In the opinion of the
diplomatic body at Constantinople, any
attempt at patching things will be mere
ly futile effort. The news of the French
intervention was suppressed at Constanti
nople for thfee days, but the Sultan'o
Cabinet being In constant session showed
that a serious crisis had arisen. The Sul
tan has been in a condition of epileptic
fury, and his Ministers, who live in per
petual terror of their lives a his hands,
were helpless and afraid to do or suggest
anything.
It is believed In Constantinople that
Russia is behind France In this business,
and it is felt that the present trouble is
inevitably destined to lead to develop
ments In the Eastern question In which
Encland will be powerless to make her
influence felt.

POLITICS IJf JAPAN.
Disturbance Hover on the Political
Horizon.
VICTORIA, B. C. Nov. 9. The steamer
Victoria arrived from the Orient this
evening. She brings news that political
disturbances hover on the horizon in
Japan. Tho immediate followers of Mar
quis Ito have now arrayed thomselvps
on the side of the Cabinet's enemies.
This section of the big- party is beiffed
by Baron Suyematgu. Mr. Haraskei and
Baron Kaneko. They propose to arraign
the Cabinet on the ground that the
measures of administrative and financial
reform contemplated by the Ministry are
altogether too limited and that the Cabi
net's failure to sell bonds abroad Is due
to mismanagement. They also complain
of the failure to punish officers guilty
of looting In China. There Is now con
siderable feeling against the terms of
the new Manchurlan agreement, which
are published by Japanese papers as fol
lows: "(1) That Russia is to enjoy the exclu
sive title to all mining and railway privi
leges In Manchuria.
"(2) That all the Chinese troops in Man
churia are to be placed under Russian
command.
"(3) That two years after peace and
good order have been restored, Russia
will withdraw one-half of her forces and
three years after that date the remain
der: and.
"(4) That the Shanaikwan-NIu Chwang
Railway shall be restored to China on
condition thai it Is never used for tho
conveyance of British troopB."
It is said that the Corean Government
has decided, though no official announce
ment has yet been made, to pardon the
perspns suspected .of complicity In tho
murder of the late Queen. Most of these
persons are now refugees in Japan, chief
among them being Pek Yonsc Ik.
The Kobe Chronicle says the capUins
and sailors, 48 In number, of tho two
Japanese sealing schooners which were
recently seised by the Russian authori
ties on a charge of fishing In Russian
waters, were sent down to Vladlvostock,
where they aro now undergoing examin
ation. The Chinese cruisers Klenwei and Kle
nan, the construction of which in the
Mi Wei dockyard, near Foo Chow, Is
now nearly finished, will be sold to
France. The Chinese Government, hav
ing first started the work of construction
of theso warships by the advice of some
Frenchmen, obtained all the materials
from the latter's native country. Unable
to pay wages and for the material, the
dockyard authorities aro arranging the
sale of the warships to the French Con

ENGLAND'S FINANCIAL PLANS.
HIclcs-Bench Slay Increase the Sugar
Duties.
NEW YORK. Nov. 9. The London cor
respondent of the Tribune cables the fol
lowing regarding the financial policy of
Great Britain:
Tho presence of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer on the platform Is not desired
by financiers, for consols go dowif when
ever he speaks, although be contents him
self with reminding the taxpayers that
war Is an expensive business. They aro
wondering, however, whether ho will In
crease the Income tax In commemoration
of coronation year or widen the area of
Indirect taxation. The price bf consols Is
affected by the certainty that there will
be borrowing operations on a large scale
The Unionist press, under the leadership
of the Times, 13 prepared to welcome a
revenue tariff on many articles, In addi
tion to sugar and coal.
What Mr. Chamberlain would do is an
open secret: he would take advantage
of the opportunity for restoring a general
tariff and converting It Into an Imperial
zollvercln on linos suggested by his fa.
mous speech before the Canada Club a
few years ago. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
lacks both courage and breadth of mind
for a complete transformation Of Eng
land's financial policy. He watches rev
enue returns more closely than anybody
else, and Is said to be convinced that the
resources of direct taxation are practically
exhausted, with evidence that lean years
are following fat years.
A Unionist member of Parliament Is au-
i thorlty for the statement that Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach -will not take a backward
step, but will Increase the sugar duties
.and tax other articles of general consurap
tlon. There is a good deal of truth In
the general proposition that the Boers
by keeping up hostilities- another 12
months will compel the treasury to revert
to a tariff system. " V

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Minister Wu
Ting Fang has received from Pekin an
official notification Of the death of Li
Hung Chang. It Is said at tlje Chinese
legation that Minister Wu has not b.een
informed of his reported relief as Chinese
Minister at Washington. The, Minister
states that he has no Idea what post will
be assigned him If ho should be recalled
from Washington. It is felt here that the
appointment of Yuan Shi Kal to take the
place of LI Hung Chang as the throne's
adviser In China's foreign affairs will bo
beneficial to Minister Wu's Interests.
The State Department never has had a
copy of the treaty negotiated by LI Hung
Chang and the Russian agent at Pekln
relative to Manchuria, to which reference
was made in tho public account of Li
Hung Chang's death. This Government
naturally has kept a close watch on the
developments in that quarter, having, next
to Japan, perhaps, a larger legitimate In

two principals to the treaty. Aa the ne

PEKIN, Nov. 9. The foreign Ministers
this afternoon went in a body, wearing
plain mourning, to the lato Ll Hung
Chang's yamen, and presented their con
dolences, according to Chinese custom.
Chinese soldiers lined the streets near
the yamen and the great crowds which
gathered In the streets and about the
yamen were perfectly orderly. All . the
city officials received the Ministers In the
outer court. The coffin -was in a Bpa

rested on an altar behind a 'screen and
had over It a royal pall, conferred by the
Emperor's command, an honor hereto
fore bestowed only on members of the
Imperial family. Many Buddhist priests
were In attendance. There were rows of
tables bearing offerings of food, amount
ing to spveral tons, and piles of paper
money. Candles and Incense were burned
about the coffin.
Ll Hung Chang's two sons stood near
the casket, attired In saokcloth. Before
the screen was a' cushion where the Chi
nese callers made prostrations. The Min
isters, however, stepped forward singly
and bowed low. The dean of the diplo
matic corps read an address of sympathy,
to which the eldest son of the deceased

A Venerable Wisconsin Lady
Restored to Health by Pe
runa After Twenty-five
Years Suffering.
(Special newa from Evansvllle, "WU.)
EVANSVJI.LE, Wis., Nov. 1L A woman
cured of catarrh of 25 years' standing;
wrfs the occasion of Peruna being Intro
duced to the Inhabitants of Evansvllle,
WIS. From that time to this there has
been a great demand for Peruna Jn this
vicinity, and hundreds of cases have been
cured. -
It Is In this manner that Peruna spreads
froni town to town and from state to
state. No sort of advertising; could have
given Peruna the reputation It has. The
secret of Its 8uccess Is that it makes cures.
It cures old cases of catarrh where, other
remedies have failed. This ought to make
any remedy popular.
Mr. C. R. Harden, of Evansvllle, Wis".,
writes the following letter:
Dear Dr. Hartman: "I wish to write
to certify what Peruna has done for me.
I" read of Perunx in the papers of what It
would do for catarrh and sent for a
bottle. This was the first bottle of Pe
Startling Statements from
WILLARD, KT. Th news of the- re
covery of Mrs. Elizabeth Prater Is a very

lady had been an Invalid from catarrh of

over her recovery. She writes: "It Is

"I began the

runa, and can say that I believe I am
cured of my troubles, and I think I am
enjoying as good health as an old lady
of my age could expect. I am 71 years
old. I recommend Peruna to sufferers
wherever I may meet them, and others
of my friends are being benefited by It.
I think It Is a godsend to poor, suffering
humanity.

your medicine and kind advice, and trust
that many others will take your remedy

been."
one from Fort Leavenworth, returned at
dark empty-handed. It Is believed that
the 14 convicts still at large have broken
up Into tw03 and threes and scattered to
avoid unnecessary attention. It Is pos
sible that some of them may get into the
Indian Territory before morning.
As fast as the men are captured they
are returned to the prison and placed in
solitary confinement. When the condi
tion of the guards shot at the outbreak
Is finally determined, the convicts will be
charged with the added crime of conspir
ing to kill thefr guards and possibly with
murder, if that charge can be placed
properly. The dead bodies of Qulnn, Hurt
man and Poffenholz will be burled In the
prison grounds.
Three of the escaped convicts held up
William Coder, a farmer, about two miles
south of Wamego this evening at 6
o'clock, and robbed him of his horse and
buggy and most of his clothing. Coder
was returning home from a day's market
ing. After the robbery the men drovo rap
idly toward the southeast. A large posse
is now In pursuit.

ASSAYERS DISAGREE.
Federal Building ut Helena May Xot
Be dver a Gold Mine.
HELENA, Mont,, Nov. 9. Two nssayers
made their returns today on tho ore found
yesterday while excavating for the Fed
eral building in this city. Assayer Em,
mett R. Flak's return showed there was
no gold In the rock. He says the rock is
not quartz, but crystallized lime stained
with Iron. The rock he assayed was taken
from the ground two days ago. Assayer
W. G. Brown makes a different return.
His assay was from rock taken, out late
yesterday. While he' will not give out the
figures tonight, he says the assay shows
values something less than $50, and he
says It Is &s good a prospect as has been
uncovered in this vicinity in a long tlmo.
Assayer Fisk, says there might be value
in tho rock at depth, but he insists there
Is none now.
The Government' Rights
WASHINGTON, Nov, O.-The Bit or
the Government building at Helena, Upon
which the golu strike Is reported to havn
been made, cost the United States about
$34,000. in Helena, as in other mining
towns In Montana, it Is customary In
selecting building sites to except mining
rights. The Government, however, hns
insisted upon obtaining a title in fee
simple to its building sites, and it Is n
fact that the UrJted States owns the
only complete title in Butte. Marcus
Daly nfnde the Government a present of
the mining title to thi ground selected
for the Government building there. In
Helena the Government secured a fee
simple title t it, building site. The
Treasury Department today, up to the
hour of closing, had received no word
of the strike, but a hurried examination
of the records convinced the officinls that
If there Is X gold mine upon the property
it belongs to ciiele Sam. If the reporc
proves true and the mine Is as rich as
the llrst report Indicates tho Government
will dispose of it ahd build elsewhere.
Assistant Secretary Taylor, who has gen
eral charge of the construction of public
buildings, fpM ttis afternoon tho Gov
ernment would not build over a gold
mine Secretary Gage said that three
things could b- done If tho Government
found itself unexpectedly In possession
of a gold mine. It culd work It, leaao
it on royalty, or sell It, but that to do
Lnny one of the three would require Con
gressional action. Of the three the Secre-

It can be stated on authority that the
commission has not reported, up to this
time, in favor of either tho Nicaragua
or the Panama project. Consequently,
the question has not figured before the
Cabinet, and the Administration has not
expressed a preference for either route.
It is expected that tho commission will

Peruna can. be relied upon to cure
slight colds and coughs and other ca
tarrhal ailments with a promptness that
Is unequaled by any other remedy.
If a cold has settled In any portion of
the body and produced catarrh, it Is gen

suffer on year after yetfr without any
hope of cure. This is not true, however

Senator Burrows Is a member of the
