DEPEW TO ENGLAND
Is a Candidate for the Posi
tion of Ambassador,
BUT M'KIXLEY HAS NOT ASKED HIM
The 1'owerH Aru Worked Up Over
Oreeco's Action In Kegarri to Crete
and Will Check Her.
New Yokk, Feb. 13. "Tho mart who
would say whether he would accept an
office such as that of an ambassador to
the court of St. James before it is offered
to him is not fit to fill that or any other
office," said Ohauncey M. Depew to a
Mail and ExpresB reporter today.
"It is not true that I have been
pd the nosition of ambassador to
offer-
Eug-
land," he said, "and I may add that I
have not read one word of thiR Bubject
from Canton. All I know is that ex
Governor Morton has written to President-elect
McKinley, proposing my
name and suggesting that my selection
would be agreeable to the Republicans
of Now York state. Of course, huvinR
received no intimation from Major Mc
Kinley, I can say nothing further. As
to my resigning the presidency of the
Netv York Central, all I have to eay is
that up to the present time, no such an
idea has entered my mind."
Russia's ltlaok Sea Fleet.
New Yoiik, Feb. 13. A Herald dis
patch from St. Petersburg sayB :
Official assnraces have been given, in
reply to anxious inquiries, that nothing
offensive isi signified by the naval prep
arations in the Black sea.
The Russian government has issued a
note to the powers with the object of in
ducing them to bring coercive measures
to bear upon the Cretans, it being their
duty thus to net, as they have taken the
power out of Turkey's hands. This is
to show the Cretans that in the futuro
they must realize that they have to
reckon with the powers and they can
not play tricks upon them as they have
been in the habit of doing with Turkey,
and that they will not in future be per
mitted to threaten the peace of Europe
periodically, as has been their custom in
the past.
Ku sia takes the lead in checking
them, and aske the other powers to join
her.
Hunguriiui Premier Itlnmos Greece.
Budapest, Feb. 13. In the diet today,
Baron Banfly, the Hungariau premier,
replying to Deputy Kossuth's inter
pellation, declared that all the reports of
a conference, at which the question of
mobilization of the forces was considered,
were utterly unfounded. The govern
ment, he continued, was not in a posi
tion to made a detailed statement re
garding Crete, but he could say the re
sponsibility for the distressful condition
of affairs there undoubtedly rested with
the secret Greek committees, who are
agitating in a reckleBS manner." Another
reaeon was that Turkey, without cause,
had prevented the execution of promised
reforms. Baron Banffy also Baid the
course adopted by Greece was opposed
to the counsels of all the great powers,
who desired peace, and that the statu
quo should not be disturbed in the
East.
A French View of It.
P-utis, Feb. 13.-Tbe Gauloia, today,

friendly disposition in Russia,. he was
compelled to draw closer to Great
Britain and Austria.

6ENATOK-ELISCT MASlN ILL.
Severe Falntlug 'Spell, Itrouglit ou by
Overwork.
CmcAGO.Feb. 13. William E. Mason,
United States senator-elect, was stiheken
ill at his residence on Washington boule
vard at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and for
a time serious results were apprehended.
A number of physicians were sum
moned, and it wbb at first thought the
seizure wbb ot an apoplectic nature.
After working over the patient for some
time, the doctors decided that it was not
upoilexy, but a severe fainting spell,
brought on from nervous strain andjover
work. It has been for some time Mr. Ma
son's intention to leave for the South to
escape the importunities of politicians,
and seek much needed rest, and as soon
as he came out of his fainting spell it
was decided to start at once. He ac
cordingly made arrangements for his de
parture, and at 4 o'clock in the after
noon they left by the Illinois Central tor
Now Orleans.
Within two hours after he he had left,
the rumor was current that lie had been
taken ill u second time, and had died on
the truin. The tram dispatcher of the
Illinois Central sent a query, and within
a short time the answer came that Mr.
Mason was alive and resting comfort
ably.
A Sl'ANISH OUXKAOK.
Request fur Facts About Indignities to
LadioH on an American VoKsel.
Washington, Feb. 13. Representa
tive Curamings of New York, has offer
ed a resolution requesting the president
to giye the house any information con
corning the incident of the stripping of
two lady passengers on board of the
steamer Olivette in the harbor of Ha
vana by Spanish soldiers and detectives.
The resolution recites that the alleged
occurence was described in a New York
paper. The resolution was referred to
the committee on foreign affairs, and a
report is expected next week; Mr. Cum
mings said as to the resolution:
"If an Englishwoman on an English
vessel had been stripped by Spanish
officials, as it has been alleged that an
American woman was stripped, within
fortyreight hours Morro castle would
come down, or some apology would be
made for it. I doubt if even Japan
would have stood it. Furthermore, if
the American government stands it, in
my opinion it indictes a total loss of
manhood and the keenest sympathy
with savage inhumanity."

MODJBSKA'S .CONDITION SERIOUS.
Suffering From an Aggravated Cane of
Appendlcltl.
San Francisco, Feb. 13. Mine. Mod
jeska will not be able to act agntn this
year. She has concelled all her engage
ments, and her company is now in pro
ess of disbandment. The telegram
which reached this city yesterday an
nouncing that the actress would not be
able to play for several days was supple-,
mented this morning by another die
patch, in which it was announced that
the sickness of Modjeska was so serious
that she would be unable to, act again
this season. Her company has, thcTfore,
been disbanded, and as soon as the
physicians consider it advisable, the
actress will be removed to her home at
Modjeska station, near PaEidena.
Mme. Modjeska was taken ill Thurs
day with what was supposed to be an
attack of colic. She became seriously
ill, and her physician feared appendictis.
She improved slightly, however, and no
operation was performed. It is stated
that Mme. Modjeska had not sufficient
ly recovered from her late illness to
stand the strain of acting, and when she
caught cold, serious results followed.'
She is suffering from an aggravated case
of appendicitis, but her physicians de
cided tonight to avoid an operation as
long as possible. They say there is no
immediate danger, and that she will
probably recover.
The Grandest Itemedy.
Mr. R. B. Greeve, merchant Oi
Chilhowie, Va., certifies that he had
consumption, was given up to die,
sought all medical treatment that money
could procure, tried all cough remedies
he could hear of, but got no relief ; spent
many nights sitting up in a chair; was
induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery,
and was cured by the use of two bottles.
For past three years has been tendin
to busines, and says Dr. King's New Dis
covery is the grandest remedy ever made,
as it has done so much for him and also
forothere in his community. Dr. King's
New Discovery is guaranteed for Coughs,
Colds and Cosumptlon. It don't fail.

A Cure for Lntue Hack.
"My daughter, when recovering from
an attack of fever, was .a great sufferer
from pain in the back and hips," writes
Louden Grover, of Sardis, Ky. "After
using quite a number of remedies with
out any benefit she tried one bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and it has
given entire relief." Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is also a' certain cure for rheu
matism. Sold by Blakeley & Houghton.
Is it "overwork" that has filled this
country with nervous dyspeptics? that
takes the flesh off their bones, the vital
ity from their blood, and makes them
feeble', emaciated and inefficient? No.
It is bad cooking, over-eating of indi
gestible stuff, and other health-destroying
habits.
The remedy is an artificially digested
food such as the Shaker Digestive Cord
ial. Instead of irritating the alredy - in
flamed stomach tho Cordial gives it a
chace to rest by nourishing the system
itself and digesting the other food taken
with it. Is not the idea rational? The
Cordial is palatable and relieves immedi
ately. No money risked to decide on its
value. A 10 cent trial bottle does that.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
