Bolivia aHopes of Aid from the Unitet
STATES Qfanallad

Bolivia arHopes OF Aid from the United
States Dispelled.
New YORK, Dec. 26.-By way of Panama
advices are received of the reception bv Presi-
dent Salinas of General Nancy, the new Uni
ted States minister to Bolivia. On presenting
MS credentials the general made speech,
IN which he stated that the whole United
States felt the warmest friendship for Bolivia
be Ens vertheless desired to prevent erroneous
ideas or hopes being entertained and he there
fore considered it necessary to state that these
feelings OF friendship for Bolivia should not be-
interpreted as an expression of ill will to 9TH
ers. He spoke strongly in favor of peace,
which he stated the United States we've anx-
lous to see re-established, TO promote which
within the proper sphere she would cordial
~ contribute by every possible meansI to some
honorable arrangements to terminate the dis
asters and sufferings produced by war be-
tween nations possessing a common origin and
history, and which are SO closely allied by sim
liar institutions and similar religion.
PRESIDENT Salinas answered at length in
highly complimentary speech, of which the
following is the most noteworthy paragraph
II Bolivia and Peru at any time entertained
hopes that the government of the United States
would act energetically in the war in order 10
obtain just settlement, such hopes were not
without foundation, ,isiDce they were based on
3 pollcy which was openly declared by Mr..
Blaine, minister of foreign affairs, and the dec
iaratons OF the United States minister in
Lima, General Hulburt Such authentic dec
larations, which received due publicity, were
certain to inspire some faith in the States
which were the victims of Injustice neverthe
less these hopes which, as have already said
had good reason for their existence, were dis
sipated by the conference at Vina del Mar
ana by statement subsequently made by Mr..
lrceseoIt that his government retired its good
ofnces because II could not conform with the
conditions imposed by Chill. From that mo-
ment Bolivia understood that its future de-
pended upon itself. To-day this conviction is
confirmed by your respectable declaration.

Tobacco Growers Want More Protection.
HARTFORD, Dec. pa meeting of about
400 tobacco growers of Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts was held here to-day to organize a
New England Association for mutual benefit
and protection. e. N. Phelps of Connecticut
presided. Speeches were made BY several
dealers and growers favoring higher duty on
Sumatra tobacco, which is seriously iniurinp
the New England growers of cigar wrappers,
Resolutions were reported from the committee
favoring the abolition of the internal revenue
tax on tobacco, snuff and cigars and an increase
of duty on all imported tobacco A debate de-
veloped difference of opinion as to the wis
dom of asking reduction of the internal rev
enue tax.
In the afternoon session a long time was
spent in the discussion of the resolutions,
which proposed to Increase the duty on Suma-
ira tobacco from 81 to ST. per pound, ard al
so proposed to greatly modify or wholly abo-
on the manufactured article and the license of
manufacturers and Dealers there was wide d.
versity of opinion upon the question Of abol-
ishing the tax. The growers were inclined
generally to question the wisdom of asking
such abolition of the revenue tax, but strongly
In favor OF heavier duty on foreign tobacco.
RESOLUTIONS finally adopted, asking Repre-
sentatlves and Senators in Congress to impose
tax OF 81 per pound on all imported tobacco,
except that from the island OF Cuba; also urg-
ing and requesting that the present Congress
take such action as will either relieve our to-
bacco growing industry from the burden of
taxation entirely, or 60 reduce said taxation as
in its judgment may best appear. A perma.

LOG ROLLING.
While wrestling with a fallen Tree a
Lnmberman Receives consequential
Damages

While ON a hunting excursion in the great coal
ana wood region near Carbondale, Pa, the writer
met William Coil, lumberman Accustomed to
life and labor in the forest from early manhood he
was true knight of the Axe. Many a tree had
faleI before his ringing strokes. and fleets of RATS
had borne away to market the sawed products.
Coil character and if Oscar Wilde is right in say
ing that all movements in unhindered labor are
graceful our friend William, stripped for his work,
and attacking a tree as Richard l. assaulted the
heavy doors of Front de Beui's Castle, must have
presented an admirable picture.
One day however-but let him tell the story him
SELF as he told it to me:
81 was out in the woods, you know, trying to
start log down hill. Thinking could get bet
ter purchase it from the 10 side tackled it
there with my log-rolling hook and threw my
weight on the lever. She started, she did, but as
luck would have it,, before 1 could get out of the
way, she rolled right over it hadn't been for
a lot of sma limbs and brush lying in the road,
which lifted her up, she'd crushed me fiat. As it
was got up without broken bone, but with some
mighty bad bruises.''
"Then you were all right, :" said his auditor.
'Not by blamed sight, stranger. 1 took cold
rheumatism set in, and if, hadn't heard of BEN
SONS CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS and used
'em it's my opinion I should never have made
another chip fly. But the Capcine took hold quick,
and I'm bout good as new. But there's one
thing you kin calkilate on:-I shall never wrsstle
with another log unless have the advantage of the
ground. Fur, told you BEFORE if it hadn't been
for them b. ushes I'd been smashed So you could "a
sold me for a door mat"

court met this morning, but two of the star
route defendants-Rerde and Vaile-were
present Brady and Miner came into court
shortly afterwards. One of the iurors-Ed-
ward @. Gill-was feeling unwell which fact
was communicated to Judge Wylie, but no ac-
tion was taken in the matter and the govern
ment proceeded with its presentation OF the
case. The first witness was John Sleemap.
chief of the pay division of the sixth auditors
office, who testified to the routine business of
the office, and was followed by Geo. #. Swee-
ney, clerk in the Office OF the second assistant
postmaster general, who detailed the process

nation was concluded at II o'clock, when re-
cess was announced. Juror Gill, however, in
formed the court that he was very unwell and
the court declared that it stood adjourned till
tomorrow morning.

cannot be traced to any trustworthy source,
that Rerdell, of the star route defendants has
turned States evidence, and made written
confession of all he knows concerning the bus
mess relations of Brady, Dorsey and others.
