AT WORK ON BIG GUNS
New Armaments Wanted in
a Ilnrry.
RUSH ORDERS HAVE BEES ISSUED
Two Factories in Pennsylvania are Be
ing uperated Night and Day
la Consequence.
Philadelphia, Nov. 16. For more
than two months people living in Tiot a
and Nicetown have coalmen ted on the
fact that the Midvale steel works had
not shut down even for Sunday, and the
jarring noise of the big machinery has
penetrated at midnight or the . early
hoars of the morning the same as during
the day. Sickness has beon the only
plea that would permit any of the em
ployes to enjoy a days rest, and three
relays of men have beeen alternately
kept at a high tension.
All this excitement, it leaked oat to
day, is due to a harried order from the
government for an increase of arma
ment. The order placed with the Midvale
steel works is for 50 10-inch disappear
ing guns and 10 12 inch mortars.
The eooernment inspection is in the
hands of Captain T. A. Lisle of the
army. He ia out of the city, and the
manager of the Midvale company de
clined to talk regarding the big contract
made with the government.
An open gate of the main building in
the Midvale discloses to view three' un
finished castings of the 10-inch pattern.
To one sideof the furnaces upon tempo
rary wooden mountings were two weap
ons apparently ready for being trans
ported, There is enough work on the unfin
ished contracts to keep the entire force
at both places busy for several months
yet.
THE DAUNTLESS AGAIN BOARDED
The Irrepressible Filibuster Bobs Dp
at Key West.
New Yobk,- Nov. 16. A Special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The filibustering steamer Dauntless is
again causing serious concern to naval
authorities. A telegram to the navy
department from Key West, where the
cruiser Montgomery and the gunboat
Anapolis are supposed to be on the
watch, announces the sudden arrival of
the Dauntless at that point, although on
Saturday the commanding officers of the
Vesuvius, who was .watching her at
Jacksonville, reported her in dock there,
being repainted and generally placed in
condition for another expedition. ,
He thought she would be ready in an;
other week, and wondered what steps be
would take to prevent her departure if
she had men and arms on board, and
. t he department had scarcely informed
him he mu9t follow her to sea and make
every effort to prevent her reaching
Cuba, when the word came that she had
slipped into Key West, violating the
quarantine regulations by leaving Jack
sonville without notice, and completely
disconcerting the naval officers who are
afraid she will get away from her prea-
ent berth as readily as from her last
without anyone being the wiser.
If she has men and ammunition, the
Dauntless is in a fine way to reach Cuba
We have used your Happy
Thought Salve with excellent
results. Our little girl, 4 yrs
old, had sore ears for nearly a
year from the effects of a se
vere case of chicken pox. Af
ter using the salve for a short
time, her ears were complete
ly healed. We find , it works
wonders.

for all the navy can do to prevent it,
since her speed makes it difficult for any
of our smaller warebips to catch her, in
the daytime, and she can easily elude
them at night. The only sure method
to prevent ber reaching Cuba, in the
opinion of the naval officers here, is to
destroy her.
WOT THE SILVKK BNVOYS FAILED
England Alone Blasted the Hopes of
Washington, Nov, 16. The official
reports of the correspondence in regard
to the bimetalic proposals of the United
States monetary commission to the gov
ernment Jof Great Britain has reached
this country. It fully confirms the re
port cabled to the American Press Octo
ber 21tt and 22 J. Tbe negotiations fell
through, notwithstanding tbe expressed
willingness of the French government
to open their mints, owing to the re
jection by the British governmentof the
proposition to again open the Indian
mints to the free coinage of silve.
None of the other propositions were
replied to, because one of the most im
portant concessions requested of Great
Britain could not be conceded, -
Great Britain, in making answer, re
ferred to the wishes of the government
of India, to which the proposal was re
ferred, and the reply of the latter gov
ernment therefore is the most important
communication in the correspondence.
The most potent reasons urged against
the proposition is that the burden of
failure, if failure should come from tbe
experiment for re-establishment of bi
metalism by. France and the United
States, must inevitably fall on India
Both the United Slates and France, the
reply argues, with their .gold, could to a
greater or less extent protect themselves
if the experiment did not prove to be a
success.
The document contains a reservation
which would seem to indicate tnat if the
scope of the proposed experiment was
sufficiently broadened India might be
willing at least to reconsider the propo
sition.
Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps, more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alterative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. . No medi
cine will act more surety counteracting

A Blizzard in Nebraska.
- Omaha, Nov. 16. Heavy enow has
been falling all oyer the north-western
part of the state for 24 hoars, and the
storm has assumed the proportions of a
blizzard. Some snow has fallen in the
eastern part of the state and at Omaha.
The storm attained its greatest violence
in the north-western part of Nebraska,
extending into Wyoming and Montana.
The mercury is hovering around zero all
over Nebraska. ' (

HITCH IS THB SEGOTiATIOSS."
Canadians Will Mot Discuss tne Sealing
Matter Alone. .
Washington, Nov. 16. The Canadi
ans have determined today to meet the
propositions for the immediate suspen
sion of pelagic sealing with a counter
proposition for the establishment of a
committee to arrange a' general settle
ment not only of tbe sealing question,
but the reciprocity, border immigration,
North Atlantic fisheries, and all pend
ing questions between tbe United States
and Canada. - It was .stated that the
proposition would te submitted when
diplomatic phases of the subject were
taken up today. . .
The contention ot the American rep
sentatives is that the Behring Sea mat
ter is tbe first question to be disposed of.
The Canadians are equally insistent that
they will not surrender on the sealing
question without at the same time se
curing action on all the other subjects
which are to them of quite as much im
portance as the sealing question. Their
suggestion of a commission, therefore,
will contemplate the assembling of duly
organized commissioners, to be appoint
ed by the president and Canada to con
sider all pending questions, and if pos
sible, negotiate a a treaty covering the
settlement of all of them. The plan
necessarily implies a suspension ot the
action on the Behring sea question for
the present. ..
Tbe Behring sea meeting began at 11
o'clock today under the usual circum
stances of secrecy.
The commercial organizations of the
country are becoming interested in the
question of reciprocity, as it is evidenced
by the communications received from
Boston merchants, who make a strong
plea for Canadian reciprocity.
At the morning session the experts
concluded their work on ' the technical
features of the seal question, reaching
an agreement on all points of difference.
The signing of their report was deferred
until 2:30 this afternoon.
' It was agreed that the nature of the
report should not be made public until
it had been submitted to their respec
tive governments.
The three-year-old boy of J. A. John
son, of Lynn Center, 111., is subject to
attacks of croup.' Mr. Johnson says
he is sure that the timely use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, during a se
vere attack, saved his boy's life. He is
in the drug business, a member of the
firm of Johnson Bros.,ot that place, and
they handle a great many patent med
icines for throat and lung diseases. He
had all these to eelect from, and skilled
physicians to answer to his call, but se
lected this remedy for "use in his own
home at a time when his boy's life was
in danger, because he knew it to be su
perior to any other, and famous the
country over tor its cures of the croup.
Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling
cough medicine they handle, and that
gives eplendid satisfaction in all cases

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 Beller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
Saiford, Ariz., writes : "Dr. Kine'a New
Discovery is all that is claimed for 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,
Coughs and Colds is not an experiment.
It has been tried for a quarter of a cen
tury, and today stands at the head. It
nerer disappoints. Free trial bottles at
