COLONIAL CONFERENCE'
BITTER SURPRISE AWAITS SECRE
TARY CHAMBERLAIN.
Premiers Will Refuse to Make Any
Suggestion in Regard to Pref
erential Trade.
LONDON, June 2L A bitter surprise
awaits the Colonial Secretary, Joseph
Chamberlain, -In connection with his ap
proaching conference with the Colonial
Premiers, "who "are now In London for the
purpose of attending the coronation of
King Edward,' For months the Govern
ment has been urging Parliament not' to
express any kind of opinion upon the
feasibility of preferential trade with the
colonies, and when introducing measures
tending to such an end it has warned off
discussion on the ground that it would
not he fair to do -or say anything" until
the Colonial Premiers had had a.- chance
to announce their views on the subject.
Unfortunately for the Government, the
Premiers had already come to a decision
that they wo.,M refuse to make any sug
gestions until the Imperial' Government
puta forward its own. intenllpns. That Is
exactly what the Cabinet-' not only does
not want to do, but cannot do. Hence a
perfectly tamo and futile ending may be
safely prophesied for the much-advertised
conference with the .Colonial Premiers.
One of the latter saldf to a representative
of the Associated Press;
"We have no voice In the fiscal policy
of Great Britain, and have not always
complete control of oar own. Obviously,
It is the duty of -the mother and govern
ing country to make propositions to us,
instead of our making propositions to it.
"Ve might sit for months and arrive at no
conclusion satisfactory to all of the col
onics, and In the end find that the results
of our deliberations were filed. away In
some pigeon-hole in Downing street. Lord
Salisbury has publicly stated h!s disbe
lief In the practicability of colonial pref
erence, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, has openly
declared nla hostility to the idea. So,
what is ,tho good of our having a mock
debate for the sake of holding . up . Mr.
Chamberlain's hands Into the empty air?"
The only end likely to be achieved at
this really notable meeting Js one which
is particularly Interesting to the United
States and Canada. The Associated Press
learns that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Can
adian Premier; Sir Robert Bond, the
Premier of Newfoundland, and Mr. Cham
berlain Intend to -thresh out their long
standing differences of opinion, and on all
sides there la hopefulness that a conclu
sion will be reached regarding the Bond
Blalnc convention. Newfoundland Is de
termined to have the matter settled, and
while her attitude will bring up almost
every question now pending between the
United States and Canada, the prospect
of a satisfactory agreement appears
bright, though such matters as the Alas
kan boundary and the remaking of the
joint high commission are involved.
Another noteworthyItenrIn connection
with the conference Is that a proposition
will be brought forward for the confeder
ation of Newfoundland and Canada. This,
while doubtless causing eomo stir and
the usual crop of incorrect rumors, has
been abortive. Newfoundland will not
consent to losing her individuality as the
oldest colony, especially in view of her
present .satisfactory financial condition,
though Canada'? offer to Include the isl
and In the Dominion would mean a reduc
tion by 20 per cent of the taxation now
necessarily imposed on the Newfound
landers. Sir Robert Bond believes that
the same end can bo better achieved
through reciprocity with the United
States, which is much mpro important to
NewfoundlanO than imperial trade prefer
ence CORONATION GAMBLE.
Three Per Cent Premium on the Risk
of tlic ICIiifr Livinzr.
LONDON, June 21. A brisk business was
done this week at Lloyd's, In the coro
nation gamble. The odds given were 100
to 3 against the event occurring, or, to
use the technical expression, the rates
on the risk of the King living until June
26 ruled at 3 per cent premium. Many
thousands of pounds sterling were under
w rltten on this basis. This shows to what
extent .public nervousness has grown in
certain circles. Careful Investigation re
veals that there Is no ground for believ
ing that the King's health Is any worse
than official reports indicated. His nerves
were upset by the illness at Aldershot,
and every precaution is taken to prevent
a recurrence of such a sudden Indisposi
tion. In the meantime, preparations for the
crowning move on apace. Such illumina
tions, festooning and beflagging as
will mark coronation day, Thursday next,
have never before been seen in London.
Soma of the most elaborate displays of
the metropolis will be by American firms
doing business here.
From the colonial contingents, angry
protests are being registered. It appears
that the War Office arranged that all
troops specially sent to the coronation
shall, with the exception of the cavalry,
be utilized to line the route of the pro
cession. Instead of actually partaking in
it. As the major parts of the visiting con
tingents consist of infantry, the arrange
ment has created bitter disappointment
The Governor-General .of Canada, the Karl
of Minto. the High Commissioner of Can
ada, Lord Strathcona, and Lord Pellat,
In command of the Canadians, are doing
their utmost to Induce the War Office to
allow the colonial troops to take part In
the procession as units, regardless of the
arm of the service to which they may be
long, i Alexandra Parle, where the colonials are
camped, is now a perfect morass, thanks
to the heavy rains. The accommodations
for the troops are inadequate, and many
of the officers, refusing to stay In the
tents, have taken rooms near by.
Allium for StnntM Zeltnng.
BERLIN, June 21. The United States
Embassy here made inquiries through the
Foreign Office recently as to whether Em
peror William and Prince Henry of Prus
sia would write something In an album
which Is being gotten up by newspaper
men. for presentation to the Staats Zel
tung, of New York,, commemorating the
banquet given to the press of the United
States by that paper in honor of Prince

SIXTH WEEK OF STRIKE.
President Mitchell Preparing State
ment for the Public
"WILKESBARRE7Pa.. Juno 21. The
anthracite mineworkers' strike rounded
out Its sixth week today without serious
incident The strike of 1900, when the men
won a 10-per-cent Increase, lasted exactly
six. weeks. In that struggle, the lives of
several persons were sacrificed, but In
this strike the worst that has happened
was the shooting, two weeks ago, of a
boy. who is now recovering.
President Mitchell held a conference
with District Presidents Nichols, Duffy
and Casey this morning. District matters
were discussed. Among the business con
sidered was the public statement which
Mr. Mitchell will issue tomorrow evening.
The National president declines to say
anything regarding this statement, but
It Is understood to be a reply to the ope
rators' letters published 10 days ago. It
will be a complete review of the miners'
side of the controversy. The statement
will probably show the alleged relation
ship between the hard-coal carrying roads
and large coal companies, and will try to
show that while coal has been advanced,
the rate of wages tfald to miners has not
kept pace with the Increase. It will also
call attention to the prosperous condition
of the country and will contain a plea
that the mineworkers should " en joy a
share of it
Nothing developed at strike headquar
ters today bearing on the question of In
volving the bituminous men in the an
thracite strike. Daniel J. Keefe, of De
troit, National president of the Long
shoremen's Union, arrived here this aft
ernoon and called on Mr. Mitchell. Both

the miners strike had made work slack
among the 7000 longshoremen who handle
anthracite coal. When asked what his
organization would do In caso the mines
asked for aid, he said:
"Nearly all of our men are working
under agreements and they never have
been broken. I do not know what our
organization will do if the miners ask US'
to aid, but I think they will not break
agreements to help, out another organi
zation." READ THE RIOT' ACT.
Exciting; Demonstration at a Lost
Cr.cclc -Collier y.
SHENANDOAH. Pa., June 2L There
was an exciting demonstration In the
vicinity of the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany's four collieries, two miles from Lost
Creek, this state. This morning about
00 men and boys gathered at this place,
threw stones and roughly handled several
non-union men and clubbed a coal and
Iron policeman. The Sheriff of Schuylkill
County finally dispersed tho crowd. Tho
crowd was attracted to tho collieries by
the importation of new men to take the,
places of strikers. Deputy Sheriffs were
hurried to the place from Pottsville, and,
after the riot act had beon read, the
crowd was- persuaded to disperse. Short
ly after 6 o'clock the mob gathered again,
and several men were attacked as they
came out of tho place. They were badly
used up. A coal and iron policeman, who
came to their rescue, was stoned and
clubbed, but was not seriously hurt Tho
superintendent of the colliery would not
allow his men to make any move nor to
use their revolvers, and In a short time
the crowd also scattered.
In the meantime word was sent to
"Wllkesbarre and 25 coal and Iron police
men were sent down, and arrived there
shortly after 7 o'clock. They were hooted,
but were not attacked. Everything, is
now quiet about the collieries.

Feels by the Lips.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
John Porter Rellley, an Akron negro
boy, 13 years of age, astonished hfe phy
sicians and nurses during his stay at the
Huron-street hospital by a phenomenal
development of sense perception through
the touch of his lips. The boy has been
blind several years. He can identify an
article after he has once handled It by
merely touching it to bis lips. He can
tell the denomination of money In thip
manner. His nurses provided him with a
number of playthings, among them two
tops, exactly alike. He called them "Tom
and Jerry," and could tell which was
Tom and which Jerry as soon as his lips
came into contact with them, although
nobody else could tell them apart
Another interesting faculty possessed by
this strange boy Is the sense of perception
through the hands. Ho told who his
nurses were by placing his hands on their
heads. Physicians were puzzled over the
boy's strange power of Identification
through his lips. They have never known
of a similar case.
Dietrich's Irrigation Dinner.
WASHINGTON, June 2L A dinner was

and both congratulated tho Senators and
members who assisted In framing the bill,

STOCKS ARE MOVING UP
CAMPAIGN TO ADVANCE PRICES
GAINS FORCE AND VOLUME.
Outlook in the Money Market In Not
Clear Bank Statement Has De
pressed Trading.
NEW YORK. June 21. Today's dull and
professional stock market calls for little
comment An . advancement of over a
point in United States Steel was a sus
taining force in the opening dealings.
The demonstration buying of the brok
ers usually employed by the syndicate
helped this movement The Southwestern
railroads have made some show of
strength, St Louis-Southwestern pre
ferred rising m. The effect of these
movements extended far. The whole list
turned heavy upon the appearance of the
bank statement and the closing was easy,
with prices slightly below last night for
the most part The bank statement
showed a gain In cash of less than $1,000,
000, while the estimates had been for near
ly $3,000,000. The deposit liabilities were
Increased by a loan expansion of nearly
$8,000,000. The net result was an encroach
ment upon the surplus reserve of 51,144,
100. On the eve of preparation for tho
July settlements, the showing was con
sidered disquieting, especially In view of
the continued firmness of foreign ex
change. The market for bonds has beon quite
active, but rather spotty and Irregular.
United States 2s advanced &; the 3s and
old 4s regular, , and the old 4s, coupon,
a per cent The new 4s declined per
cent os compared with last week's clos
ing. Review of the "Week.
The organized campaign to advance
prices of stocks, which has been In evi
dence for some time past gathered vol
ume and force this week, and carried
prices up with a. general sweep on Wed
nesday, with the largest dealings for one
day since the parly part of May. On
Thursday there was a movement to take
profits by the bulls, and an aggressive
attack by the bears, which caused a sharp
reaction and a pause. The unexpected
Increase In the stock of the Illinois Cen
tral, and the granting of rights to stock
holders to subscribe at par, gave the
whole market Its fill-up on Wednesday,
and helped tho bulls to take their profits
with the first appearance of general out
side market that has been aroused. The
manner In which unfavorable news was
Ignored on the rise Is shown by tho prom-
lnest position taken by the Reading stocks
In advance. In spite of the miners strike
and the continued paralysis of the anthra
cite trade.
Professions of confidence In the success
of orops, and suggestions of probable In
creases of dividend on railroad stocks,
were the ostensible motives of the buy
ing of tho grangers, which were prom
inent In the upward movement The
Gould stocks, as a group, led by Missouri
Pacific, wore also conspicuously strong
because of an appreciation of tho Im
proved strategic position of these prop
erties In the railroad world by reason of
recent acquisitions and extensions, and
the belief that a financial plan of con
solidation of operation Is being worked
out There were rumors of a contest
for the control of Reading on the part ot
Pennsylvania and Its subsidiary company,
Baltimore & Ohio. The making perpetu
al of an Injunction against the conver
sion of 5200.000,0000 of United States Steel,
preferred stock, into bbnds has had a de
pressing effect on the securities of that
corporation, and upon the general finan
cial sentiment With the Northern Se
curities project already contested In 'the
courts, the shadow of Judicial disapproval
is thus thrown over two most important
financial projects of tho recent era of
expansion.
Money Outlook Not Clear.
In tho money markt call loans have
been easily negotiated, but the outlook
for the future Is not felt to be clear.
The demand for time loans has been a
feature, as It was the week before. The
advancing tendency of sterling exchange
here, and Its decllno In Paris, has called
renewed attention to the large obligations
of this market to foreign lenders and
the coming effect upon our money market
of the maturing of these obligations. The
discount rate has advanced at Paris, and
that center had withdrawn funds from
London, which. In turn, has sold secur
ities here, creating a demand for ex
change to pay for them.
The foreign trade statement for May
Issued this week by the Bureau of Sta
tistics shows the smallest trade balance
In our favor for any May since 1SIM, ow
ing principally to the heavy falling oft
In the volume of exports of all classes
of agricultural exports. The exhibit Is
disquieting, on account of Che expanded
condition of our foreign credits. Of do
mestic requirements, the week has seen
the announcement of various new "bond
and capital Issues, Including the opening
of subscriptions to ship company and
Metropolitan Strcot-Rallway bonds, and
various other projects. The July settle
ment requirements are yet to be met
The July disbursements, and the repeal
of the war taxes are looked to for relief,
both here and abroad.
NEW YORK DANK STATEMENT..
Most Striking Feature Is a Good In
crease in Loans.
NEW YORK, June 2L The Financier
rtlvs:
The official statement of the associated
banks for last week showed, as the most
striking feature, an increase of 57,744,700
In loans. This was not altogether unex
pected, for the speculation on the Stock
Exchange was active during the week at
generally advancing prices, thus calling
for Increased bank accommodation. More
over, there was the beginning of tho ac
cumulations of money preparatory to the
July disbursements. The specie Increased
5319.000, while the legal tenders fell off
542,100, making the net decreasa In cash
reserves $176,900. The estimated gain was
52,5SS,800. The lnter-bank movement was
quite uniform throughout the week, as
also were tho sub-Treasury operations,
and the difference between the official and
the estimated gain in tho previous week
was slight so that It Is altogether Im
probable .that the actual changes In that
week could have been reflected In the re
turn last week.
Possibly the discrepancy between tho
actual and the estimated gain In cash In
lost week's statement was partly due to
foreign exchange operations, which were
Important Another explanation Is that
the trust companies during the week prob
ably drew considerable amounts of cash
from the banks In order to strengthen
their reserves preparatory to the making
up of their semiannual statements to the
state banking department The deposits
were J8.0S4.O00. or $737,CW less than the
amount called for by the Increase In
loans and the net gain In cash; therefore,
the statement was not entirely harmoni
ous. The required reserve was Increased
52.02L000, deducting therefrom in surplus
reserve, making this Item 512,155,250,
against $6,611,150 at the corresponding date
a year ago.

dered pianos in carload lots, and we made this end of the business in the
way of selling facilities correspond to our extensive orders. We reduced
prices so much that "old school" dealers gasped, and we adopted such
an easy paypient plan that anyone In very moderate circumstances can
get a first-class piano from us and not be in the least inconvenienced finan
cially. LET US HAVE IT UNDERSTOOD
But the fact that we wish you to thoroughly understand Is this: Wo
can sell better pianos for less money than any other house on the Pacific
Coast can afford to do. We are demonstrating It every day. We demon
strated It in April and May. when we sold more pianos and organs than
any other piano house In the United States did, during the same time.
If we could not sell pianos better pianos for less money than other
houses do, we could not have attained this remarkable record. You know
that It Is simply common sense.
We aro here to do business to sell pianos and we can afford to meet
any reasonable proposition half way; we tako used pianos, used organs In
exchange, or we let you rent a brand new piano your pick of our estab
lishmentfor a small sum per month, and at the end of a week or a month
or a year, you can purchase that piano If it Is entirely satisfactory, and wo
allow you as part payment on it what you have paid us for Its rent, less

of his claims upon the consideration of

penchant for using bad language. He Is
at this time engnged in a profitable busi

a good fellow. When he Is in tho city he
is at home and he manages to keep loaded
all the time. When he is at work he does
not drink, and 13 noted for attending
strictly to his oVcn business.
There is a cottage next door to where
he lives, but the owner has experienced
trouble In getting a tenant who would re
main for any length of time in the house.
This has been true for the reason that as
soon as the old seafaring man would re
turn home for a short stav ho bpelns to
use such foul language that the next-door
neignoor, in tne cottage, cannot stand It,
and he, simply moves out Some time ago
the owner, who was very much annoyed
by the condition, sought legal advice. He
THE POISE
Of a woman in perfect health attracts
the eye at once. Such a woman is all
too rarely seen. The most of women
bear scars of suffering on their faces
which no smiles
can hide, and
often in their very
-carriage betray
the womanly
weakness wVich
oppresses them.
There can be no
perfect health for
the woman who
suffers from dis
ease of the delicate
womanly organ
ism. Her general
health is so inti
mately related to
the local health of
the womanly or
gans that these
must be cured be
fore the general
health can be
established.

Summer the
Time to Cure
If Dr. Copeland were asked what medical teaching would accomplish the great
est good he would unhesitatingly say:
The lesson to those with enfeebled constitutions, ivcnlc lungs, or a
tendency to Bronchial Trouble or Consumption, of the vital opportuni
ties tuut Summer offers them.
The best teaching Is the teaching that will save the most lives.
And this lesson to those with the slightest predisposition to Consumption will
save more lives than any other that could be taught
In the Summer Catarrh may be more speedily cured; with nature helping the
work, the result Is more certain; after the cure, the constitution resumes Its nor
mal condition more quickly; those so feeble that they should not even expose
themselves to the weather during the Winter may visit the offices, and are helped
In the progress of treatment, rather than injured, by exposure to outdoor air.
This Is what the opportunity of the Summer months means.
Indeed, with many of the more serious cases where long-neglected Catarrhal
disease Invading the Bronchial Tubes, which convey the air to the lungs, has tak
en Its final advance Into the tissues of the lungs themselves, has reached the end
of the road lined with tho mucous membrane, upon which it lives and feeds, and,
finding no new tissue, settles down to feed upon the lung cells with many of these
serious cases treatment during the Summer months Is the only hope. Little, If
any, help can be promised them during the Winter.
It Is then during- the Summer that Catarrh in its early stages, involv
ing maybe the nasal passages and throat and vocal cords and windpipe,
may be most speedily cured, and the danger of lis extension into the
deeper parts of the Bronchial Tubes or Lungs averted.
It is then only during: the Summer months that those more desperate
cnies Involving the Lungs themselves, may be treated with, any nope.
So there is abundant reason for dwelling upon this matter.
The Proper Course for Sufferers.
Great numbers of people suffer from tho
malign poisons of catarrh, as from other
chronic maladies, without any correct or
definite idea of the nature of their af
fliction. The following symptoms have
been carefully arranged to enable many
sufferers to understand Just what It Is
that alls them. Many diseases, known
under various specific names, are really
of a catarrhal origin and nature. Every
part of the mucous membrane, the nose.
CATARRH OF
HEAD AND THROAT
The head and throat become dis
eased from neglected colds, caus
ing Catarrlt when the condition of
the blood predisposes to this con
dition. "Is your voice husky V

CATARRH OF
BRONCHIAL TUBES
This condition often results from
catarrh, extending from the head
and throat, and if left unchecked,
extends doivn. the windpipe into the
bronchial tubes, and In time attacks
the lungs.
""Ave you a cough?"
"Are you losing flesh?"

"Do you feei you are growing weaker?"
"Is there a burning pain In the throat?"
"Do you cough worse night and mornings ?"
"Do you have to elt up at night to set

SYMPTOMS OF
EAR TROUBLES
1
Deafness and car tronbles result
from catarrh passing; alone: the Eu
stachian tube that leads from the
throat to the ear.
"Is your hearing falling?"
"Do your ears discharge?"
"Do your care Itcn and burn?"
"Are the ears dry and scaly?"
"Have you pain behind the ears?"
"Is there throbbing In the eara?"
"Is there a buzzing sound heard?"
"Do jou have a ringing In the ears?"
"Are there crackling sounds heard?"
"la your hearing bad cloudy days?"
"Do you have earache occasionally ?"
"Are there sounds like steam escaping?"
"Do your ears hurt when you blow you-

"Do you hear better some days than others?"

awako?"

crack?"

"Is roaring like a waterfall In the head?"
was told that the only thing- ho could do
was to make the swearing man pay him
the amount the cottage rented for. He
was getting $15 a month for It. He would
simply have to make the swearer pay this
amount as damages for driving the ten
ants out.
The swearer evidently thought the prop
osition was a good one, for he accepted it
and Is paying the money like a man. But
the Indications are that he will quit paying
this amount when the month is up, and
exactly here Is the point of this stoty.
There is a minister of the gospel who re
sides in the rear. He wroto to the man
who uses bad languago and asked him to
desist and told him that If he did not he
would at once take steps to make him
bridle -his tongue and quit blaspheming.
As soon as the swearing man got the note
he walked out Into the back yard of his
home and began to deliver an address
which cannot be produced in polite type.
The preacher was horrified.
Then he walked back Into his house and
went to the bathroom. He slipped, fell and
broke his leg In two places near the ankle.
He has been in bed since that time and
the pretty part of the story is the fact
that his good wife, whom he had often
abused In unmentionable language, Is con
stantly by his side, and he will allow no
other person to attend to his wants. And,
strangely enough, he has not sworn an
oath since he cursed the preacher and
broke his leg. I suppose he will not be
paying $15 a month for the privilege of
swearing after this.
