NEXT NOTE TO BE
AN ULTIMATUM
American Peace Commissioners to Maie
a Final Presentation.
TERMS WILL
BE EXPLICIT
Time Limit to Be Fixed Within Which
They Must Be Accepted President
Fauer Engaged Exchanging Cour
tesies With American and Spanish
Commissioners.
Paris. Nov. IS. The United States
peace commissioners are devoting today
as they did yesterday to formulating the
next presentation or consideration of
the Spanish commissioners. While the
Americans are reticent as to their inten
tions, it may be said without reserve
that the occasion is near npon which the
exact peace terms acceptable to the
American commissioners ' will be laid
before the Spaniards with a time limit
for their acceptance.
There were three officials functions
here yesterday afternoon and evening
which caused considerable interest
among the American peace commission
ers. The first was the bestowal of the
golden fleece upon President Faure by
the queen regent of Spain, through the
president of the Spanish peace commis
sion, Senor Montero Rios. The second
was a dinner given by Faure to Rios and
his fellow commissioners. Finally last
night President Faure received the
American commissioners at Elysee
palace, where there was a comiqueopera
entertainment in their honor.
There is some surprise expressed
among the members of the American
colony at the bestowal of a decoration
upon the French president at the hands
of the Spanish peace commission at this
moment, and others are asking them
selves whether the entertainment at
Elysee palace was to be regarded as a
sort of compensation to the Americans,
whose sensibilities may have been
wounded by the bestowal of the Spanish
decoration upon Faure before the con
clusion of peace negotiations.
TERRIBLE RAIL
ROAD ACCIDENT
Pensylvania Railroad Train Runs Down
a Gang of Laborers Near Jersey
City
New York, Nov. 18. While a gang of
track bands were at work on the Penn
sylvania railroad line near Jersey City,
today, they were run down by a train.
Eleven workmen were killed outright
and six seriously injured.
The train which ran down the work
men was a local from Milltown, due at
Jersey City at 12 -.20 a. m. A fog had
delayed the train and the engineer J.
Van Ostrand, was running at high speed
believing there was nothing to prevent
a quick run to Jersey City. He only
knew that his train had ran into the
men when the engine jarred. Then the
cries of the men were heard and as Boon
as possible be stopped the train.
Passengers aided the trainmen in
searching for the victims. This was not
an easy task in the thick fog which pre
vailed. A train bad passed on the west-bound
track a few seconds before the east
bound train ran the men down. The
noise of the west-bound train prevented
the men from hearing the approach of
the east-bound train. They were not

aware that the train was near them un
til they were scattered right and left.
When the engine which struck the la
borers reached the depot at Jersey City
the cowcatcher was red with blood from
the men killed. After the engine was
stopped a hand was picked up from the
cowcatcher. It had been severed from
one of the victims, and had been carried
to thcdepot on the cowcatcher.
GOVERNMENT OF
THE ISLANDS
Recommendations to Be Made By the
Hawaiian Commission.
Chicago, Nov. 18. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: It is
probable that the report of the Hawaiian
commission will tavor a more liberal
form of government for the island than
has generally been expected. The mem
bers have favorably considered a propo
sition to give tbe islands a representa
tive in the house with a vote, in which
regard he would rank with the repre
sentatives, and not with the delegates
from Arizona, New Mexico and Oklaho
ma, who have the privilege of talking,
but not the right of voting.
The government suggested for the isl
and will in all probability be an ad.
vance on the present organized terri
tories, but, of course, will not contem
plate statehood. Several members of
the commission go to the extent of be
lieving that Hawaii should have repre
sentation iu the senate, though probably
without a vote. This feature, however,
may not appear in tbe report.
Who is Right About This.
Denver, Colo , Nov. 18. The Rocky
Mountain News publishes the following
telegram, signed R. A. Alger, secretary
of war:
"No thought has been given to muster
out the Colorado regiment, nor will there
be until peace is declared."
Last Sunday Governor Adams received
a letter fromAdjutant-General Corbin,in
which the following language was used :
"It is the purpose of tbe war depart
ment to return to the United States
within a few months the volunteer regi
ments now serving in Manila.other reg
ments now being on their way to replace
them. It is believed this will have been
accomplished, and the soldier for 'whom
vou write will return jabout as soon
as though his discharge were ordered
immediately."
The apparent disagreement between
the two messages is causing considerable
speculation as to whether a change has
occurred in the Philippine situation
within the past week.
From New Zealand.
Reefton, New Zealand, Nov. 23, 1896.
I am very pleased to state that since
I took tbe agency of Chamberlain's
medicines the sale has been very large,
more especially of the Cough Remedy.
In two years I have sold more ot this
particuliar remedy than of all other
makes for the previous five years. As
to its efficacy, I have' been informed by
scores of persons of tbe good results they
have received from it, and know its
value from the use of it in my own house
hold. It is so pleasant to take that we
have to place the bottle beyond the
reach of the children.

HAWAIIAN CABLE
FROM ASTORIA
It Is Belieyei That tne Northern Ronte
Will Be Chosen.
THE OBJECT OF
GREELY'S VISIT
Government Must Have Cable Com-
munications He Announced That
He Would Inspect a Line Across
the Columbia From Fort Stevens.
Portland, Nov. 18. The United
States and Hawaii are soon to be con
nected by cable, and tbe starting place
from the Pacific coast may be not far
from Astoria.
General Greely stated Thursday that
be had recommended the building of the
cable, and that a company had been
formed, and was only awaiting recogni
tion from congress to begin work. That
such recognition would be forthcoming
at the next eeasion the general expressed
no doubt.
The government not only wants, but
must have telegraph connections with
Honolulu, and would prefer that this
conneetion be made by a private corpo
ration. The only questions remaining
are what assistance shall be rendered
this corporation by the government, and
from what point on the Pacific coast
shall tbe cable start.
From surveys already made, it has
been decided that there are places be
tween San Francisco and Honolulu
where tbe bottom of the ocean would
not permit of the laying of a cable
with any degree of safety on account of
the tremendous rocks and boulders
formed at those places. The govern
ment, if it is to aid in the construction
of this cable, would want to know just
what the prospects were of laying one
that would be permanent and a success.
To determine this, General Greely has
been sent. He finds the conditions out
from San Francisco unfavorable, and
will now investigate tbe mouth of the
Columbia to determine if it is a suitable
place, and if so cablegrams from Astoria
to Honolulu will be ordinary things in
two years.
A clever Trie lc.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak kid
neys, malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as a
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures
constipation, headache, fainting spells,
sleeplessness and melancholy. It is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced
that they are a miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50c a bottle at

The Teresa Investigation.
Washington, Nov. 17 The secretary
of the navy has ordered a court of in
quiry to meet at tbe navy yard at Nor
folk Tuesday for tbe purpose of invest!
gating the circumstances attending the
abandonment ot tbe Spanish cruiser
Maria Teresa, with a view to determin
ing the necessity and responsibility
tueretor.
Tbe speech of Father Abraham in the
last number of Poor Richard's Almanac,
published by Benjamin Franklin in
1757, "Contains the Wisdom of many
ages and nations assembled and formed
into one connected discourse." When
first published it attracted world wide
attention and was copied in all tbe news
papers in America and England and
translated into many- foreign languages

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that ia by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and 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 be destroyed for
ever; nine casas out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an' in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

A Sure Sign of Croup.
Hoarseness in a child that is subject
to croup is a sure indication of the ap
proach of the disease. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon as tbe
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, it will pre
vent the attack. Many mothers who
have croupy children always keep this
remedy at hand and find that it saves
them much trouble and worry. It can
always be depended upon and is pleasant
to take. For sale by Blakeley & Hough
