THE DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS RESUMED
A Notable Occasion in tie World's
. History.
LETTER FROM
QUEEN REGENT
Spain, it Seems, Wishes to Forget the
Past The Duke and the Presi
dent Shake Hands.
Washington, June 3. The diplomatic
relations with Spain, broken off April 21,
1898, were formally resumed at 11 o'clock
today, when President McKinley greeted
Due d'Arcos; the newly accredited min
ister to the United States, in the bine
parlor of the White House. Simultane
ously in Madrid, if the programme ar
ranged was carried out, Bellamy Storrer,
the new United States minister to Spain,
was being presented to Cbiistina, the
queen-regent, daring the legal minority
of his Catholic majesty, Alphonso XIII.
It was a notable occasion in the world's
history the resumption of friendly rela
tions between two nations which had
been at war and in the brief struggle
had changed the map of the world.
The speeches of today were especially
notable. They were plain-spoken and
devoid of the usual hazy diplomatic
phraseology. The ceremony was ex
ceedingly simple.
Upon reaching the blue room, they
were presented to the preeident by Sec
retary Hay. The president was cordial
but dignified in his greeting. The due
then read his address in Spanish and the
president responded as follows: "Mr.
Minister: I receive with the greatest
gratification the letter by which her maj
esty, the qneen regent of Spain, in the
name of her angust eon, Alfonso XIII,
has accredited you near this government
as envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary. You will find, Mr.
Minister, a cordial welcome in- this
country, not only from those whose
friendship you .acquired during your
former residence, but from all our peo
ple, who rejoice as I do at the renewal
of the ancient bonds of amity which,
with a brief interruption, bave united
our nations for more . that 100 years.
"That these friendly relations may be
confined and strengthened to the advan
tage of both people is my earnest wish
and I can assure you that every member
of this government will heartily co
operate with you to that desirable end."
At the conclusion of the address the
president stepped forward and 6hook
hands cordially with the new minister,
and they engaged in conversation in a
low tone for a minute or two. The
party then retired and was driven to the
Arlington hotel.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public.
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the
needy and suffering, The proprietors

great medicine; and have the satisfac
tion of knowing it has absolutely cured

, before this conclusion was reached. The

enlistment of volunteers, should more

Would Not Suffer 80 Again for Fifty
Times Its Fi ice.
I awoke last night with severe pains
in my stomach. I never felt so badly in
all my life. When I came down to work
this morning I felt so weak IcouTd hardly
work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's
drug store and they recommended
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. It worked like magic
and ' one dose fixed me all right. It
certainly is the finest thing I ever used
for stomach trouble. I shall not be
without it in my home hereafter, for
I should not care to endure the sufferings
of laBt night again for fifty times its
priced -G. H. Wilson, Liveryman, Bur-

A Card of Thanks..
I wish to 'say that I feel under lasting
obligations - for what Chamberlain's
Cough Kennedy has done for our family.
We have used it in so many cases of
coughs, lung troubles and whooping
cough, and it has always given the most
perfect satisfaction, we feel greatly in
debted to the manufacturers of this
remedy and wish them to please accept
our hearty thanks. Eespectfully, Mes.

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
npon her and for seven years she with
stood its Beyerest teets, but her vital
organs were undertermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, and was so much relieved on taking
first dose, that she slept all night; and
with two bottles, haB been absolutely
cured. "Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

Last fall I sprained my left - hip while
handling some heavy boxes. The doctor
I called on said at first it was a slight
strain and would soon be well, but it
grew woree and the doctor then said I
had rheumatism. It continued to grow
worse and I could hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug store and the
druggist recommended me to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm.- I tried it and one
half of a 50-cent bottle cured me entire

Conflagation Started From the Explo
sion of a Gasoline Store in the
y Siegel Building.
Republic, Wash., June 3 A disas
trous fire broke out here at 6 o'clock this
morning, and before the flames were
brcoght under control the damage
amounted to $250,000. At noon today
the business portion of the town is a
mass of smolding ruins, while on three
Bides are rowa of scorched buildings
marking the path of the. flames. The
fire fighting apparatus could not check
the blaze and it was only used to save
some of the buildings outside the fire
zone that were smoking and breaking
into flames at times.
. The fire' was started bythe explosion
of a gasoline etove in the Siegel building
on Clark avenue, where men were cook
ing breakfast. It epread on the west
side of the street to Browne's restaurant,
and south to the Republic Trading Com
pany's store. On the west side two en
tire blocks were destroyed .
Powder was used to blow up the build
ing occupied by Alexander's law office
on the opposite side of the cross street
from Percy's building. Then the latter
building was eent skyward, and the fly
ing brands scattered the 'fire to the
building on the east side of Clark ave.
It is rumored that two opium fiends
were burned in one of the buildings. No
authenticity is given for the report, and
it is impossible to learn where the sup
posed victims were. Twenty-eight build
ings are ruiped.
