LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE
Will Asia Become a Seat of
War.
RUSSIA IS READY FOR ALL COMERS
One Eye Is Kept on Japan, the Other
on Germany's Moitmenti la
Chinese Waters.
San Francisco, Dec. 3. The Call
says :
The report that the Russian govern
ment ia buying large quantities of army
supplies in the United States is verified.
Cable messages from Vladivostock ask
ing merchants to. bid on large lots are
frequently received. Yesterday Dodge,
Sweeney & Co., of this city, received a
Vladivostock cable to figure on 1200
tons of supplies.
Travelers arriving from Asia report
that the garrison at Vladivostock has
been largely reinforced by the arrival of
troops on steamers and sailing vessels
from the Black eea.
The concentration of Russian troops
at that point and the haste that Japan
is making to increase her power, on the
sea leads some of our merchants to pre
dict that the impending conflict between
Russia and Japan may open as early as
next summer.
The recent heavy orders for army sup
plies to be forwarded to Vladivostock
are regarded as significant of important
movements in the Orient.
' It is believed the completion of the
trans-Siberian railroad with its termi
nps at Vladivostock will largely increase
the trade of Ban Francisco, and there is
talk of establishing a line of steamers to
that place, to touch at Alaskan ports.
A local subsidy of $35,000 has already
been subscribed tor an Alaskan line.

RUSSIA. ON HER GUARD.
Germany's Movements in Kalo Chan Bay
Closely Watched.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 3. Great feti
cence is observed in official circles re
garding the political situation in the far
East. The opinion prevails that Ger
many will not permanently occupy
Kaio Chau Bay.
Russian newspapers protest against
the occupation, as being calculated to
injure the interest of the Ruesiat s in the
far East, and they say that the Russian
government ought to demand its evac
uation or else obtain the equivalent of
it.
More German Troops for China.
Berlin, Dec. 3. The naval depart
ment has sent instruction to Kiel to
dispatch 600 artillerymen with field guns
and 1000 marines to China.
MOTHER HcKINLEf SINKING.
Her Death Probably a Question of Bat
j a Few Honrs.
Canton, O., Dec. 3. This morning
Mrs. Nancy Allison McKinley was re
ported to be sinking rapidly and the end
apparently near. Before shejlapsed into
unconsciousness she was given to under
stand that her son had started for Can
ton from Washington. At each stop
during the night.word bad been flashed
to Canton of his progress, and at each
I was troubled for a, long
time with a sore wrist; some
thing the doctors termed an
open vein. It would break
and the blood would flow in
a stream from it, and I could
finl nothing that would heal
it until I tried vour Happy
Thought . Salve. " A ' small
quantity healed .it up nicely.
In fact it ha,s been well and
showed no signs of breaking
for over three months, so I
feel it has done perfect work.

was still in the lead in bis thrilling
midnight race with the grim reaper.
Finally the president retired to sleep..
When Pittsburg was reached at 7:15
a. m., Judge Day accepted the offer of
the railroad company and a special en
gine was attached to the- train. With
out the loss of a moment the special
engine dashed out of the. smoky city.
All the trains on the route were put on
sidetracks, and to last 101 miles were
reeled off in two hours. At 8:55 the
train reached Canton.
Upon his arrival at the home of his
mother; the president entered the sick
room and knelt by the bedside. She was
unconscious. The little fain ily group
was complete. Now all that reaiained
was to wait for death and to hope that
before ft came the mother would be able
once more to recognize her loving chil
dren. '
As the day wore on Mrs. McKinley re
mained apparently in the same condi
tion as in the early morning. She. was
unconscious, showed no signs of suffer
U g and seemed to bo passing quietly
into the sleep of death.' '
President McKinley believes his
mother recognized him as he knelt by
her bedside. His sister JBeleb announc
ed his arrival by saying:
"Here, mother, ia William. If you
recogeize him, hold up pour hand."
Mrs. McKinley did raise her .hand
El'gntly an$ the family believe it was in
recognition of her eon.
The plans of the president are to re
main here until. 2 o'cleck tomorrow,
when he will return to Washington to
look after the official business that made
in almost impossible for him to leave
the capital at this time.

AFFAIRS AT MADRID.
The Cuban Question Completely En
Crosses Public Attention,
New York, Dec. 3. A Madrid special
to the Herald says':."'
Public opinion here is engrossed by
the Cuban question. There is little else
in the papers than the matter relating
to the reform decrees. The liberals are
entirely satisfied.
The Epoc i regards it as an example of
ruin, the breaking np of law, consider
ing that the solution of the grave prob
lem of commercial autonomy can nei
ther be accepted ag satisfactory, nor can
tbe uotiyesb.rougl.it forward in its de
fense be looked upon as encouraging.
As to the rumor that the office of colo
nial minister- is to be abolished, now
that the colonies are autonomous, it is
regarded as too absurd to warrant re
futation. More than ever will a minis
ter be required to superintend the deal
ings between the colonies and the moth
er country.
The strength which conies to us from
eating nourishing food is belter than
stimulation, because it is new strength.
The health which- belongs to a strong
body, well nourished by proper lood
(properly .digested '. is the only health
that is lasting.
The difference between Shaker Diges
tive Cordial and other medicines iejsim
ply that it helps nature to make
strength. It does not profess to cure
sickness, except as that sickness is a re
sult of weakness caused by food not
properly digested. -
Shaker Digestive Cordial will relieve
the pangs of lndigejtion, and make thin,
sick, weak people as well as if their
stomachs had 'never been out of order.
It is a gentle aid to the digestion of
nature's strength-maker, food.

. ''John," she said, thoughtfully, "to
morrow is the birthday of that little
Jones boy next door."
"What of it?" he demanded.
"Oh, nothing1 much," she replied;
"only I happened to recall that Mr. Jones
gave our Willie a drum on ls birthday."
"Well, do j'ou think I feel under any
obligations to him for that?" he asked
irritably. "If you do you are mistaken
If I owe him anything it's a grudge."
"Of "course," she answered, sweetly
"That's why I thought that perhaps
you might want to give the Jones boy
a big brass trumpet.
"The most resourceful woman in the
world!" he exclaimed, delightedly. And
the Jones boy got the trumpet. Chi
