McKinlcy Determined to Re

IS PROFITING BY EXPERIENCE
I
A Htv Treaty nun Already Bern
Drafted to Serve ns n IIusIh
of Nccotlatious.
Wasuixgto.v, June 19. President
JlcKinley has determined to revive
the arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain. He
has already turned his attention to the
nbject, and under the direction of Sec
retary Sherman, the matter has pro
cessed to the extent that a new treaty
has already been drafted to serve a9 the
basis of negotiations. In the draft which
is to be used as the basis there are said
tobenoueof the objectionable points
which caused the failure of the Olney
treaty, it is not in cuuieuupiuuuu iuiu
the treaty will be submitted to the sen
ate before next December, and there is
reason to believe tnat the attitude of the
senate toward a new treaty will be fully
canvassed and understood before the
treaty ii signed.
It is understood that the initiative in
the present case will be taken by the
government, as the failure of the former
treaty, by the inaction of the senate,
left the subject in fcuch a condition thatj
the British government did not feel die
posed to renew negotiations until first
invited by the United States.
Sir Julian Pauncefote leaveB Washing
ton next Tuesday for Great Britain. It
was understood at first that the ambas
sador would take a copy of the new treaty
with him, but this will not' be done. It
is expected, however, that a draft will
be tn London at no distant day, m which
case Sir Julian Pauncefote will be in
communication with the foreign office
to consider the terms of the instrument.

IX THE EVENT OF WA1!
Canovai Buys Spain Ik Cuuable Of Ills
lug to the Emergency.
New Yoi:k, June 20. A dispatch from
Madrid to the Herald says :
Premier Canovaa declared vesterdav
that in the event of a conflict between
the United States and Spain, the latter
country was capable of rising to the
emergency.
General Woodford's expected arrival
awakens considerable speculation, since
it is known here that from the date of
his confirmation, he is allowed 30 days
to receive instructions, and 30 days for
tbe journey to Madrid.
Her majesty makes it an invariable
'ale that foreign ministers shall neither
take leave nor be presented at San Se
bastian, Bince facilities are wanting for
the requisite ceremonial and the royal
family wishes complete retirement. So,
normally, Mr. Woodford cannot present
his credentials until October 1, when the
wart returns to Madrid. If the usual
worse is followed of hastening Woodford
here, or of pressing for a reception ahead
f time, Spain will regard it as an effort
to precipitate events.

At Montgomery, Ala., the electric dis
turbance was terrific. The lightning
struck the Western Union wires near the
city and the leaping sparks in the office
of that company caused a fire, which de
stroyed the building, valued at about
$40,000.
There are are no reports of heavy wind
accompaning the storm. In fact, noth
is known of what occured south of here
beyond the disabling of the telegraphic
system and the fire at Montgomery.
Afternoon Storm at Montgomery.
Montgomery, Ala., June 19. The se
verest storm known in this section vis
ited Montgomery about 5 o'clock this
afternoon. The wind legistered 54 miles
an hour for a few minutes, and almost
three-quarters of an inch ot rain fell

Struck by Lightning.
Iowa City, la., June 19. The library
building of the Iowa state university wae
struck by lightning this morning and
destroyed by fire. It was a two story
brick structure. The loss is $100,000.

on apparatus. The library was the best
in the state. Many of the books are out
of print and cannot be replaced. Tbe

about two-thirds destroyed. This col
lection was exceedingly valuable, many
books dating from the 16th century.

London, June 19. Never in the his
tory of Encland has London so strik
ingly shown itself the heart of the world
as it does tonight, the eve of the jubilee
At all times the busiest hive of the lav
man race, tonight London is crowded to
the innermost door by a stupendous
gatheringof strangers representing near
ly every race under the sun and nearly
every country found upon the map. The
common object of this crowd, participa
tion in the greatest historical pageant
yet witnessed in tins hisiorv of the Brit
ish empire, gives tone and complexion
to every minute of time, to every
thought and action. There is nothing
in men's minds at the hour, from the
highest prince in the palaces to the low
est eueak-thiei in the streets, but the
jubilee
It is impossible to pas9 along any of
the crowded thoroughfares without
everywhere remarking the two predomi
nant notes of the occasion, the world's
desire to honor Queen Victoria and the
proud wish of her subjects in doing so
to impressively demonstrate the strength
and vastnees of her empire. The streets,
hotels and stately mansions of the West
End are crowded with the great who
have already come to honor the queen,
while barracks and bivouacs in and
around the metropolis are thronged with
soldiers in every uniform known to Brit
ish administration, from the headhunt
ing Dyaks of the Borneo police, the
mounted men of Australia, India and
Africa, fort soldiers from the West
, Indies, Zaptics from Cyprus, to the
stalwart representatives ot military gov
ernment under "Our Lady of the
Snows." Suggestivelv, it is a rare ka
leidoscopic picture of races, men and
creeds, a vivid panorama of the march
of that empire, upon which, as Daniel
Webster said, the sun never sets. The
air is alive with expectancy, thousands
upon thousands of flags and banners
float in the evening breeze, the decora
tions, which have easily cost a million of
English money, are in place, myriads of
lights are glowing or stand ready for their
flame London smiles in self-content.

What
Stands at the Head.
Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchaut of
SalFord, Ariz., writes : "Dr. King's New
Discovery is all that is claimed fu. it ; it
never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colds. I cannot
say enough for its merits." Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Cougbt and Colds is not an experiment.
It has been tried for a quarter of a cen
tury, and today stands at the head. It

Deafueaa Cannot lie Cured
by local applications, bb they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is bv constitutional remedies.
Deafness is causpd by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling Bound or
imperfect hearing, aud when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will bo destroyed for
ever; nine casas out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
