"We Have no Information."
Washington, March 11. At
the state and nary department
this morning the same reply, which
is now becoming somewhat monot
onous, "We have no information,"
is made in answer to the request
for 'some news regarding the
alledged destruction of the Xfipsic.
Walker Blaine says Jthe depart
ment of state utterly discredits
the story. It now appears that
the United btates othcial wno was
stationed at Auckland, the nearest
cable point to Samoa, rejoined the
Ifipsic some time ago. Neverthe
less, the navy department holds
that it would be informed speedily
of the reported engagement
through the United States consul
at Auckland had any such thine:
happened. So in order to forward
the news to Berlin the Olga must
have run over to Auckland, and
at least her arrival there would
have been reported, if indeed the
secret of her mission to the cable
station did not leak out through
some of the sailors. Captain Mul
lan, of the Nipsic, was ordered to
protect and use his good offices.
These were in substance like the
instructions given Admiral Kimb
erley, which at the time they
were issued were regarded in
some quarters as being too narrow
and inadequate to carry out. The
popular wish may be recalled,
however, that Secretary Whitney
said at the time in a communica
tion before the house naval com
mission that it was as far as he
could go then in the absence of a
declared policy on the part of the
government in regard to Samoa.
Swept by the Tide of Popularity
To the topmost pinnacle of success Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters stands a shining proof
of what genuine merit, backed by the living
force of proven facts, can attain. The North
and South American continents, Europe, Au
stralia, the West Indies, Guatemala and
Mexico have all contributed wide patronage
and testimony of the most favorable kind
but unsolicited to swell the reputation of
this sterling remedy. Among the maladies
for which the most convincing public and
Srofessional testimony proves that it is a
enlgn curative, are chills and fever, bilious
remittent, dumb ague and ague cake, ds
pensia, liver complaint, nervousness, debility
kidney and bladder complaints. It miti
gates the Infirmities of age, hastens conva
lescence, has a tendency to prevent ill con
sequences from exposure and exhaustion.
Persons of sedentarv habits and laborious
occupations will find It an ever useful tonic.
A New Town.
Chicago, March 11. Last
June the editors of the leading
agricultural papers of the county
visited Northern Montana and
they were so favorably impressed
that they formed a stock company
with $200,000 capital to found a
colony and build a town. The
members of this company met
here Saturday. The proposed
town will bo located in the center
of the tract, 300 by 100 miles in
extent, lying north of the Missouri
river in the northeast corner of
the territory, and will be sit
uated across the river from Fort
Belknap.

A Weavers' Strike.
Fall River, Mass., March 11.
A weavers' strike for an advance
in wages occurred this morning,
and is one of the most' general in
the history of labor troubles here.
The weaving departments of fifty
mills are practically shut down,
six thousand weavers are idle.
The extent of the strike is a sur
prise to the- managers, who ex
pected only a few mills to be
involved. A bitter struggle is
anticipated.

Probable Office Holders.
Washington, March 11.
The president sent the following
nominations to'the senate to-day:
Thomas W. Palmer of Michigan,
to be minister of the United States
to Spain : John F. Swift, of Cali
fornia, to be minister to Japan;
John D. Washburn, of Massa
chusetts, to be minister to Swit
zerland: George Tichnor, of Illi-
moise, to be assistant secretary of
the treasury, vice Maynard, re
signed, Washington, March 11.
Judge Wren,of Eareka, Nevada, is
endorsed by the Nevada senators
for the general land office.
There are fifteen or sixteen
candidates for governor of Ari
zona, among them George Christ
and George Wolfly, of Tombstone.
Ex-Attorney-General S. B.
Bradford, of Kansas, has a good
chance of being appointed gov
ernor of Utah.
Many candidates are in the field
for governor of Montana. Colonel
J. D. McCutchen, L". E. Hors
field and T. C. Power are the
most prominent.
In New Mexico the candidates
are Joseph Dwyer and Judge
Bradford, of the territory, A. C.
Morrison and General Bowman.
C. H. Harris has come to
Washington to push his claims for
governor of Alaska. He has four
teen rivals in Michigan, three in
Wisconsin, two in Nebraska, one
in Iowa and half, a dozen or more
in different parts of the country.
IUKENTS ckimlvally liable.
More than nalf t all deaths occur
before six years of age. An army of in
nocent, lovely children arc swept need
lessly away each year. Parents are
criminally responsible for this. The
death rate of children in England is less
than half this. Acker's English Baby
Soother has done more to bring this
about than all other causes combined.
You cannot afford to bo without it.

Resigning Officials.
Washington," March" ll.'s
Judge Care, solicitor of the treas
ury, has tendered his resignation
to take effect upon the qualifica
tion of his successor. B. Yeoman,
chief clerk of the treasury depart
ment, has placed his resignation
at the disposal of Secretary Win-
dom. This is a position of a con
fidential character and will prob
ably be among the first to be con
sidered. UETTER TIIA.V Sl'It'IDE.

suicide." Wc will guarantee to cure any
dyspeptic within three months by Ack

Captain Ericsson's Funeral.
New York, March 11. The
funeral of the late John Ericsson,
the inventor, took place to-day
from Trinity church. There was
a long procession. The church
was crowded, and the sidewalks
were packed with people. The
navy was represented by officers
from all the government vessels
here, and others from the navy
yaul.

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains in
various parts of the body, sinking at
the pit of the stomach, loss of appetite,
feverishness, pimples or sores, are all
positive evidence of poisoned blood.
No matter how it became poisoned it
must be purified to avoid death. Acker's
English Blood Elixir has never failed to
remove scrofulous or syphilitic poisons.
