ULTIMATUM TO RIOTERS
SPANISH AUTHORITIES TRYING TO
RESTORE ORDER.
Strike Mnxt Give Up Their Aran in
Three Dayn or lie Tried by
Court-3IartIul.
BARCELONA, Feb. 22. Although there
was some resus-cltation of ordinary life
In this city yestt nlay, it was largely arti
ficial. A few public establishments opened
under compulsion of the authorities, but
practically no business was transacted.
The street-cars ceased running at S In the
evening and the newspapers were unable
to publish, the compositors refusing to
work. The Captain-General authorized
the managers of the newspapers to seek
for printers outside of Barcenola.
There were some isolated affrays and at
tempts to sack bakeries, during which five
persons were -wounded. It was reported
this morning that a number of workmen
had been caught in the act of preparing
bombs.
The Captain-General has allowed the
rioters three days in which to deliver up
all their arms. After the expiration of
that time any person found in possession
of arms will be tried by drumhead court
mar tiaL
Orders havo been Issued to all the sa
loons to close at 7 o'clock In the evening,
and citizens are not allowed to be out of
their residences after S P. M.
Agitation for n. Great Strike.
MADRBD. Feb. 22. Agitators are active
ly urging the declaration of a great strike
here February 21 in support of the strik
ers in Barcelona. The Royalists are
greatly excited by reperts that several
workmen at Barcelona have been tried
by court-martial and shot. This, however,
5s olllclally denied.
Advices from Valencia say the strike
there has been suppressed, but that the
workmen are clamoring for the release of
their airested comrades.
More factories have reopened at Sara
gossa and Sabadell.
The, nearest approach to truth that It Ls
possible to glean from the mass of con
flicting official and private dispatches from
Barcelona indicates that the situation Is
s'Hl of the gravest character, but without
any Important outbreak of fresh hostility
between the troops and the strikers.
The Senate and Chamber of Deputies
were today presented with reassuring tele
grams by the Minister of the Interior,
Senor Gonzales, to the offect thst the
strike in Tarragona is ended, and that
tranquillity prevails at Sabadell.
El Correo. hemiofiicial. sas there is a
probability that a provisional settlement
will be- reached.
Private dispatches received from Bar
celona deny that there is any probability
of a settlement, and say the strikers are
leaving the city in large numbers. It is
certain the Socialists are now endeavoring
to minimize their share in the disturbances
and to lay the whole blavne for the rioting
upon the anarchists. According to mes
sages received here from Barcelona, the
police of that city have captured docu
ments showing that leading anarchists
furnished a considerable amount of funds
to the strikers, and aided In organizing
the outbreak there.
Much alarm is felt at Valladolid. where
the bakers threaten to strike.
At Seville, evidences have been found
of an organized attempt to precipitate a
fresh conflict between the strikers and
troops.
N Serious Outcome Expected.
LOSDOX. Feb. 22. Spanish ofllcials In
London have received a private telegram
from the Government at Madrid saying
that no serious outcome ls expected fiom
the riots at Barcelona and adding that
tl e newspapers are overestimating the
importance of the disturbances. A mem
ber of the Spanish embassy said to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press:
"I think the proclamation of martial
law will have the desired effect. Barce
lona has long lu en a hot-bed of socialism
and must not be taken as a criterion of
Spain as a couutrv. Many of the prom
inent men of Spain have long wanted the
G ivernment to maintain a large force of
troops in the neighborhood of Barce
lona, but political opposition has pre
vented this from being done. Had strin
gent measures been promptly taken by
an adequate military force, the whole dis
turbance would probably have been
nipped In the bud."
LANSIJOWNE REOPENS IT.
Note to German Foreign Minister on
SinnNIi War Controversy.
BERLIN, Feb. 22. Lord Lansdowne,
British Secretary of State for Foreign Af
fairs, has informed Baron von Itichthofen,
Secretary of the German Ministry for
Foreign Affairs, that the British Govern
ment has taken notice of the publication
by the German press of the dispatch
from Von Holleben, Ambassador to the
United States, concerning the meeting of
Ambassadors held in "Washington April
14, 1S9S, without following the usual pro
cedure of obtaining the consent of the
Governments interested.
Lord Lansdowne and the British Gov
ernment desire Germany to know that It
misunderstood the action of Lord Paunce
fote. the British Ambassador to the
United States, in the meeting of April 14,
1E9S. Lord Pauneefote's part in that meet
ing was simply that of the senior -member
of the diplomatic corps, and nothing that
he did was prompted by unfriendliness
toward the United States.
Baron von Richthofen has not replied
to Lord Lansdowne's dispatch, of which
the foregoing Ls the substance. The Indi
cations are that Germany in her reply
thereto will point out that the British
Foreign Ofllce was lirst in giving infor
mation to the press coincident with the
first speech of Lord Cranbournc. the Brit
ish Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
The German Foreign Oilice is seemingly
taking cognizance of the oliieial British
statement giver to the Associated Press
January 21 last, that Germany, Rusia
and France supported the effort of Aus
tria to persuade Great Britain to join In
European intervention.
ItuHsIa'K Attitude DiirlitK the "War.
ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 21 The olliclai
Journal tie St. Petersburg tomorrow will
publish a long inspired article on the ac
tions of the Ambassadors of the powers
at Washington April 7 and 14. 1S9S. which
will be almost tex.tua:iy a repetition of
the Berlin Relchsanzelger fctatement on
the subject. The Russian statement con
cludes as follows:
"Russia did not agree to the presenta
tion of the note- drawn up by Lord Paun
cefote April 14, because she did not regard
It as being In the nature of an amicable
appeal, but considered that It tended to be
an expression of disapproval of the United
tjiaivi iv.. t... will. IW JJ.LIU jl14 lilt
pated in such a note would have been
contrary to the attitude of the most
scrupulous neutrality maintained by Rus
s'a throughout the war, her conduct in
this respect being renewed proof of the
traditional friendship of Russia and the
United States."
St. Petersburg Student Riots.
BERLIN, Feb. 22. Advices received here
from St Petersburg attribute the excite
ment among the students partially to a
false report, which was spread February
20, of Count Tolstoi's death. It was as
serted that the authorities had repressed
the news because the Holy Synod was un
decided whether to proceed with the an
nual excommunication of the author. Sev
eral hundred students attempted to Invade
the Kazan Cathedral In order to have
mass celebrated for the repose of Count
Tolstoi's soul, shouting: "Long live the
Immortal Tolstoi, Russia's greatest man.
Down with the dogs!" The police charged
Md dispersed the demonstrators. The
Universities of Kleff and Kharkoff are
closed. At the latter place ' the polict
came Into collision with students ana
workmen.

BERLIN, Feb. 22. During the-course of
today's discussion in the lower house of
the Prussian Diet, of the nonconlirmatlon
by the Emperor of the election of Herr
Kauffmann as secon dBurgomastcr of
Berlin, the Minister of the Interior, Ba
ron von Hemmersteln. practically admit
ted his personal disapproval of the Em
poror's action. Herr RIchter, the Radical
leader, had kept the House In roars of
laughter by a caustic attack on the Min
ister of the Interior, and said he thanked
God that the Radicals had not reached
the point of mathchlng their strength
against that of the King. He also
thanked God that the country had so val
iant a Minister of the Interior.
Leopold "Wnnt to Come.
BRUSSELS. Feb. 22. The Associated
Press is authorized by an official of King
Leopold's household to announce that
while His Majesty has on several occa
sions expressed a desire to visit the

point of suggesting any date and has not
uttered a word from which could be de
duced any confirmation of the report that
he Intends to undertake a , voyage to
America this year.

two and a hnlf days, the greater part of
which time was given up to securing a
jury- The defense offered no evidence,
beyond that of Woodward himself, who
yesterday made a confession In which he
told of breaking Jail with three compan
ions, the pursuit and battle with the
Sheriff and posse. He said, however, that
the killing was not Intentional: that the
shots were fired for the purpose of hold
ing the Sheriff and his men off until he
could make his escape. Woodward was
chased to a ranch neir Billings, Mont.,
where he was captured after a desperate
fight with the officers.
Since his return to Casper, a large
number of men have been ready to lynch
Woodward, but the Sheriff has prevented
such an attempt, keeping x force of

their services being required. All ls now
quiet and no fears are entertained of
violence to the prisoner.

DAMAGED BYSLEET STORM
COMMUNICATION WAS PRACTICAL
LY SUSPENDED IN THE EAST.
Trolley and Railroad Traffic Scrl-
onaly Interfered With at New
York and Vicinity.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22. The sleet storm
thit struck New York proved to be the
most severe that has been experienced
for several years. Telegraphic communi
cation was almost completely suspended
until this evening, when it was generally
restored. Throughout the day the streets
were rendered nearly impassable by slush,
many of them almost presenting the ap
pearance of rivers, the sewers being In
capable of carrying off the overflow. Ow
ing to the holiday, street-car traffic was
at a minimum.
The greatest damage was sustained in
Brooklyn, where scores of horses were
killed by contact with live wires, which
were everywhere prostrated. In Prospect
Park and in many of the, avenues, hun
dreds of trees were denuded of ice-laden
branches. Brooklyn Bridge presented a
brilliant spectacle, being completely en
cased in a glittering crystal coating. On
Staten Island, hardly a wire was left
standing and traffic everywhere was sus
pended. More than 100 dead horses lay in the
streets throughout the city. Mony of them
dropped from exhaustion and others
broke their legs and had to be shot.
The great storm did more damage in the
suburbs than in the city. The wind had
full sweep and in the towns and villages
of Eastern New Jersey, Long Island and
Westchester County, trolley and tele
phone service was abandoned and tin
ground Ls strewed with broken trees.
By 10 o'clock the telegraph companies
had restored limited communication with
the rest of the country except south of
New York, which was still Isolated. The
heaviest damage appears to have result
ed between this city and Philadelphia.
Telegraph poles, carried down by the
Immense weight of sleet-burdened wires,
caused a delay of one to five hours In the
passenger train service of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad during the night between
this city and Baltimore. The main trou
ble, as reported from one of the passen
gers from the South, was in the district
between Chester, Pa., and Trenton, N. J.
At the first-named place the entire tele
phone, telegraph and electric light sys
tems were a total wreck. The town was
In darkness. Trains on the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore division were
run without the aid of the telegraph, ne
cessitating slow progress. '
The worst of the wreck among the
wires was between Bristol and Trenton,
X. J. In the 11 miles between those two
points more than 100 telegraph poles were
broken. There were reports of burned
trolley cars in various sections. The
weight of the lec on the wires caused
them" to break and the loose ends, en
countering cars, set them on fire.
PHILADELPHIA ISOLATED.
Moat Disastrous Sleet Storm Thnt
City Ever Experienced.
XEW YORK, Feb. 22. Mail advices
from Philadelphia say that city ls as
completely shut off from electrical com
munication with the outside world as
though such a thing as a telegraph wire
or a telephone wire never existed. The
storm ls the most disastrous sleet storm,
as far as the wires are concerned, that
has ever visited that section. Within the
city limits, scarcely a single overhead
wire Is in working order. Poles are down
In all directions and wires are dangling
from housetops on nearly every street.
On Front street, which skirts the Dela
ware River, 30 big poles on one line were
broken off, and are lying in the street.
This ls but one route. There arc dozens
of routes leading into the city, and al
most all of t&ern are as badly crippled.
It Is stated that, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, between Philadelphia and Xew
Brunswick, more than ISO poles are down.
Ofllcials of the telegraph companies say
it will be fully a week before all of the
routes are even In fair working condition.
The damage to wires apparently Is much
worse than was Inflicted by the mem
orable blizzard of 1SSS, although the storm
does not cover nearly so much territory.
Four persons were killed In Philadel
phia yesterday and last night by coming
In contact with heavily charged wires. At
least-23 horses were killed during the day
by broken wires.
Late last night, the street railway com
pany operating all the lines was com
pelled to abandon Its service and at mid
night the efforts of the officials were
devoted entirely to getting the cars then
on the streets back Into the car sheds.
By this morning. However, they had suc
ceeded in clearing, the wires sufficiently
to permit the running of a few cars en
express lines. Hundreds of men are at
work clearing the wires, and until they
are convinced that all danger from con
tact with electric light wires is past, the
ofllcials of the various telegraph com
panies will not attempt to operate their
wires.

WEAK KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER TROUBLE
Had to Pass Water Very Often Day and Night.
Cured by the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root,
ss
DR. KILMER & CO.. Binghamton. N. Y.
About two years ago I had a very severe case of kidney and" bladder trouble.
The pain in the small of my back was so severe that I could riot stand It to stay
In one position more than a moment or two. and was obliged to pass water very
often day and night. I tried medicines and doctors without getting relief. Notic
ing an advertisement In the Topeka State Journal of Swamp-Root, I determined
to give it a trial and bought a bottle By the time I had finished the first bottle
the pain had entlroly disappeared from my back. The pain and frequent desire to
pass water ceased. However, I continued to take the medicine, using about six
bottles In all. That was over a year ago and I have had no return of the troublo
since.

MENACING TO UNCLE SAM
Teutonic Soldier Tells How America
May Be Conquered by Germany.
Lieutenant von Edelshelm. of the Ger
man Army, has evolved plans by which
he fondly believes the United States may
be conquered and reduced subject to the
Fatherland. His theories are said to
havo been approved by other officers
high In rank In Germany, but in other
directions the plan does not meet with
absolute inuorsement. A London journal
discusses It at some length. It says:
Could Germany conquer the United States?
Lieutenant von Kdelshelm, Second RcRlment of
Uhlans of the German Imperial Guard, thlnk-s
she could if she followed the plan which he
has formulated.
War against the United States would be car
ried on under conditions necessarily different
from those of a German campaign against this
country- In recent years, says Lieutenant
Edelshelm. Germany has had :veral occasions
of political dlnlcultlcs with the United States,
for the most part arising out of commercial
questions. Until the prent time the-e diffi
culties have been smoothed over on the part of
the Germans. But since there Is a limit to
concessions, we may ask what powerful means
Germany can make me of. If need arise, to
check the action of the United States against
her Interests; In other words, to Impose her
will en them by force.
Now, Germany's lirst element of power ls
her navy. It has every prospect of combating
with success the naval forces ot the United
States, dispersed as they are over two oceans'.
But It la evident. In view ot the vast extent
of territory and tho immense resources the
United States possesses that a naval defeat
would not by any means be decIsUe. For the
very reason of the great extent of the United
States, an Invasion of the Interior Is not to
be considered seriously. But there would be
chances of success In striking blows upon the
sea coast and -cutting the great arteries of
exportation and importation so as to paralyze
the Industrial and commercial life of the
United States, which would oblige that power
to accept peace.
If the mob'lllzatlon of the transport squadron
and the corps of Invasion began at the moment
of the departure of Germany's fighting fleet for
American waters. It will be admitted that the
Invading troops might come Into action on
American poll at the end of about four weeks.
The United States ls not In condition to bring
Into opposition, within an equal time, an army
equal In numbers to Germany's corps of in
vasion. Actually, the regular army of the
United States ls on a footing of 65,000 men.
but of this number there are. not more than
30.000 available for the defense of the mother
country. Besides that, there must be deducted
from that number at least 10,000 men who
cannot be spared from survelllanoa of the In
dian territories and from the maritime de
fenses. There remain, then, only 20,000 reg
ular trooss for the actual campaign. True,
there are besides about 100,000 mllltla, but in
tbe late war the greater part did not answer
the call. Moreover, these militia are armed,
In great part, with muzzle-loading muskets
and are badly drilled besides.
Becauso of the length of the voyage the
transportation oftho German troops could not
be done by surprise, but still the landing
could be accomplished suddenly at an unex
pected point of the coast. When we consider.
Lieutenant Edelshelm ioInts out, that the
Americans have no plan of mobilization well
worked out In time of peace and take Into
account also tho Inexperience and weakness
of the regular Army of the United States,
we may confidently hope, that a corps of
Invasion, operating with suddenness, would
havn chances of success.
Germans could not dream, of course, of per
manent occupation of any great extent of
American territory, which would require an
army of too high effectiveness, but it would
be feasible to occupy the principal maritime
cities. A scries of coast landings, using com
paratively small fores, could be. applied to
this purpose. Xt would bo difficult for the
ffV-yve-.
Americans to opposo them with success. Al
though their excellent system of railways would
enable tho Americans to concentrate In short
tlmo troops at threatened points on .the coast,
tho Invader, by feints ot landing now at
ono point, now at another, could at last at
tain his end with tho co-operation of the
naval force. Tho corps of Invasion could even
take tho offensive against the enemy's forces
while tho latter were yet Imperfectly con
structed, or he could avoid an attack on their
part by re-embarklng and moving away to
land at still another point.
Such Is the plan of this strategist and he
has Just caused It to be circulated In Berlin.
It Is as well to remark hero that In the
Lieutenant's opinion Germany ls the only
great power In a position single-handed to
attack the United States. Britain. In case ot
war with America, could only gain success by
the sea. She would be powerless to defend
Canada, whero tho Americans could mako
good their marit'mo reverses.
Finally, save Britain, no other great power
but Germany has, of her own, sufficient trans
port vessels to undertake such an operation
as has Just been described.
Turquoises and the Mongol.

Turquoises are the favorite stones of all

Always seeks to find some expression
for itself, and womanly gratitude will not
keep silence. Cynical people sometimes
say Why do women write these testimo
nials to the value of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription? The
answer can be
put iu one word,
Gratitude. When,
after years of
agony a woman is
freed from pain,
when the weak

DEAF 17 YEARS. SERIOUS
BRONCHIAL TROUBLE
HEALTH AND HEAR
ING RESTORED.
Mr. Fanl Schmidt, the populnr
blacksmith at Beaverton, Or., adds this
strong Indorsement of the competency of
Drs. Copeland and Montgomery In curing
catarrh and deafness. In speaking of his
trouble he said:
"My case was a very chronic and com
plicated one. I had been deaf in the left
ear for 17 years, the result of catarrh, and
my health seemed hopelessly shattered,
the bronchial tubes being badly affected.
"When I say I wns totally deaf In
the left ear I nm telling: the truth.
This enr had been dead to nil sound
for what to most people -would lie n
lifetime. I could not hear anything
with it whatever.
Mr. Paul Schmidt, Beaverton, Or.
"I had the usual symptoms of catarrh.
My head was stopped up all the time, and
I could scarcely breathe through the nos
trils. The dlseaso seemed to gradually
work down until it reached the
Bronchial Tubes,
and then my suffering became very great.
There was soreness and pain through the
chest nnd lungs. My breathing was short
and labored, with a
Tightness in the Chest
that at times made it impossible to get
enough air into the lungs. Like all suf
ferers, from bronchial trouble. I had a
bad morning cough. Any exertion set me
to pulling and panting. At work I would
choke up and hardly be able to get my
breath, and would become so exhausted
that I would have to quit and rest. As
I kept getting worse right along I be
came greatly alarmed over my condition,
and had gravo feare that my
Iiunprs "Were Affected.
"I felt I must do something and do It
right away. In order to stop the progress
of the disease, and went to the Copelnnd
Institute, of which I had heard and read
a great deal. I began to improve right
away, and now feel like a
Different Man.
My head ls clear, I have no cough, nnd
the pains have disappeared; and what

of Ladakh carry their fortunes on their
heads in the shape of a broad strip of red
cloth studded with huge turquoises, which,
starting from the forehead, is carried over
the head and hangs nearly to the waist.
These peraks, as they are called, some
times cost as much a3 20. By the La
dakhis those turquoises are preferred that
have little black specks In them, which
show their genuineness: for even In the
wilds of Central Asia the spotless blue
composition emanating from Europe Is
offered for sale, the bazaar at Darjeellng
being Hooded with It. The Bhutia women
in the Darjeellng district wear quaint
brass ornaments covered with chip tur
quoise, which are cheap, but the Mon
golians have the embossed silver plates,
which form, such a becoming headgear,
studded with really fine turquoises, for
which the owners have to give valuable
furs in exchange.
The Rani of SIkhIm, who comes from

foot above her brow. It is composed of
pearls, turquoises, rough rubies and other
stones, threaded on line wires, which rise
tier upon tier to a point In the front,
where it Is topped by a little pinnacle of
large pearls. Though quite a little woman,
this erection becomes the Ban! very well,
forming a pretty frame to her delicate
oval face.
