IT WAS A BAD MOVE
Asking England to Protect
Americans in Transvaal.
REASONS FOR MR. WILTZ'S OPINION
This Country Bnould hart m Represen
tative of Ita Owi in the Trans
vaal Trade tVith It
Very Large .
London, Jan. 15. Mr. Wiltz, of Cali
fornia, a friend of John Hammondthe
American mining engineer arrested with
others at Johannesburg on a charge of
high treason, continues his efforts in be
half of Hammond and the other Ameri
cans in custody at Johannesburg or Pre
toria. Discussing the situation today,
Swiltz said :
"Oar government must understand
this fact all the demands of diplomatic
courtesy were satisfied by Chamberlain's
kind response to Secretary Olney's re
quest that Great Britain protect the in
terests of Americana in the Transvaal
but nothing could be worse for the
Americans, as the feeling against all
Englishmen is exceedingly bitter, while
the Boers are very friendly to Americans.
Indeed, several of those arrested are on
the beBt of terms with the Boer govern
ment. "None of the Americans were connect
ed with the political movement. Thev
simply joined the reform committee
formed in the emergency to preserve the
peace of Johannesburg. President Kru
ger arrested all members of the commit
tee, bat I believe prompt action taken
through our own representative at Cape
Town would secure the release of the
Americans. Any delay may endanger
their lives, as the Boers are intensely ex
asperated. We should have a represent
ative in the Transvaal, for the Ameri
cans, though few, occupy most impor
tant positions, and trade with the
United States is very large. Most of the
lumber used in the mines comes from
Puget Sound.

Something Abont the American, Curtis,
Arrested at Johannesburg.
New York, Jan. 15. A local paper
says :
Among the Americans arrested at Jo
hannesburg for alleged conspiracy
against the Boer government is J. S.
Curtis, descriDed in dispatches received
here from London as being 'a wealty
mining engiueer. Further information
about the cause of his arrest has been
Bought in vain by his many friends
here.
The prisoner is Joseph Storey Curtis,
a son of the late George T. Curtis, and a
rpan of considerable prominence in min
ing circles of the world. The mother
and sisters live in the Kensington apart
ment house, and they, as well as his
-friends, are amazed at the report of his
arrest for being a leader in the recent
uprising in the Transvaal, as he has al
ways been strongly opposed to English
schemes for securing control of the
country, an't has often mentioned the
matters in letters written to friends in
the city. His sympathies have always
been with the government, although he
went to Africa originally as an agent of
an English Company. For some months
Mr. Curtis has not written home, and
his mother has been dependent on the
newspaper reports for news of him.
Although an American citizen, little of
Curtis life has been spent in this country.
He traveled in Europe many years and
received his education at Freudenburg,
Germany. Eight years ago he was sent
to South Africa as an expert mining en
gineer by an English company to ex
amine gold mines there. He has been
there since. During his residence in the
Transvaal he has accumlated a fortune,
and is now one of the wealthiest men.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
there. Mr. Curtis is married, but has
n3 children. ' -
PRUSSIAN DIKT.
Opened Today In Berlin The Speech
From the Throne.
Behlin, Jan. 15. The Prussian diet
was opened at noon today. The speech
from the throne was devoted to domestic
affairs. It is estimated the budget of
1896 will show a smaller deficit than that
of 1895, owing to increased receipts due
to improving trade.
Bills were announced for extending
railroads, for improving the position of
school teachers, and to extend the estab
lishment of chambers of commerce. The
government will employ every means to
remedy the condition of the husbandry,
and intends to propose furnishing finan
cial assistance to those shown to be in
need ; to establish co-operative granaries
and legislate regarding the tenure of
leasehold land.
Geo. V. Jenkins, editor of the Santa
Maria "Times," Cal., in speaking of the
various ailments of children said:
"When my children have croup there is
only one patent medicine I ever use, and
cnac is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the best
coogh medicine in the market." If this
remedy is freely given as soon as the
croup congh appears it will prevent the
attack. It is also an ideal remedy for
whooping cough. There is no dange : in
giving it to children, as it contains noth
ing injurious. For sale by Blakeley &

LONDON'S STOCK OF GOLD.
The Largo Increase Was Mostly From
the United States.
London, Jan. 15. At the half-yearly
meeting today of the Union bank, of
London, the new governor of that insti
tution, F. O. Schuster, said the prevail
ing impression that the large increased
production was only partly true. It wrs
from the United Statee, he added, chief
ly that the increase was obtained. The
imports from the United States, contin
ued Mr. Schuster, were due to the cur
rency troubles and the want of confi
dence arising therefrom. But, in his
opinion, the troubles vfould not continue
much longer, and when these difficulties
were overcome, as he could not but hope
they would be, sooner or later, the tide
might turn the current in the opposite
direction, and it might set in with great
rapidity and force.
If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. "I use it in
preference to any other." So wrote Mr.
S. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. S. Kussell, of Farmville, ya.,
writes, "It fulfills all you promise for it."
There are some people who are never
positive in anything. It is always, "I
don't know," or 'I guess so.,' There is
a word of such p ople, and it is refresh
ing sometimes to he.;r a person speak as
one having convictions, like Mr. Chas.
F. Snyder, of Bangor, P., who wrote ; "I
can heartily recommend Simmons Liver
Regulator "to all who are troubled with
Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint."
