Important Features of the Commercial
Treaty Now Pending.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-A Madrid dispatch to the
Standard says that at a meeting of the Cabinet
Council, yesterday, presided over by King AL
fonso, Senior Elduayen, Minister of Foreign At
fairs, ubmitted for consideration the conditions
agreed upon between United States Minister
Foster and Senior Albacete, Spanish commits
sioner, for a special treaty of commerce with
America. This treaty, it is stated, would be
the starting point for a new colonial and tariff
policy in the Spanish West Indies. 1t would
open the Castilian colonies to Amer
lean competition against Spanish i'm
ports, but it would also admit
Cuba and Porto Rico into the zollverein which
America is gradually forming with Mexico and
other Spanish-speaking countries around the
Gulf of Mexico and in Central America, on the
basis of reciprocal concessions and discriminate
ing duties to exclude European competition.
Canada. the British West Indies and Central
American republics will receive similar advances
from Yankee diplomacy shortly.
The Hispano-American convention stipulates
that It's advantages shall apply only to trade
between the United States, Cuba and Porto
Rico, which is carried on under the American
and Spanish flags respectively. By its terms,
America will admit sugars, molaSSeS and raw
tobacco free of all duty, and the duty on other
articles imported from the West Indies will be
reduced. Spain will place American -four and
cereals imported into her colonies upon the same
footing as those imported from Spain, and will
make a large reduction on the duties on cattle,
salt and fresh fish, and all but a
very few American manufactured goods. Spain
will also suppress the consular tonnage duties
which are now levied at American ports and
promises further to reform the custom-house,
harbor and sanitary regulations and fines in her
colonies.
Only a strong government, like that of Senior
Canovas DelCastillo, with docile majorities in
both houses of Parliament, could venture to
attempt such a departure frcm prevailing Gas,
lillian ideas of colonial policy and from the old
system of protective tariffs.
The convention is likely to meet with much
opposition in the Cortes.

A onlet session of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-An indications point
TO a very quiet session of Congress the coming
winter, and the Democratic majority that con-
trolls it's action will go home with a record of
having done less than any Congress that has as
sembled in several years. TIL last session was
given up to tariff agitation and ousting from
ieeaIly yea elected sH%e t hepdo:' and, T bv reason mH of " the
quarrel and division among the Democrats on
the subject of the tariff, really nothing was &C
eomplished in the matter. Even the appropria-
ton bills were but half prepared, care only being
taken to white down the amounts voted to
each branch of the government. During the
coming session it is probable, therefore, that the
appropriation bills will be disposed Of in the
same parsimonious way. and that afterward the
actors in the great circus will go home. The
lobbyists and hackers of private claims antici-
pate a busy session for themselves, and conf
IDENTIFY believe that the private calendar will
have full swing. The Forty eighth seems des-
tined to go down in history as the do-nothing
Congress.

FRANCE AND CHINA.

The Chinese Preparing for Active Operations
-RumOred Outrages on Missionaries.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-Chinese advices state that
the blocking of the Woo Sung river, on which
Shanghai stands, and the massing of troops in
the vicinity of Shanghai and Pekin are still
going on.
The Paris journal Des Debat denies that
France is legally at war with China. 1t con-
tends, therefore, that England has no reason to
forbid French vessels to r~evictual at Hong Kong.
Chinese advices via Shanghai state that,
despite the blockade, two steamers landed Chi
nese troops and war munitions at Tai Wan, on
the southwest coast of Formosa. The Chinese
fleet anchored in the river Yangtsi has been
ordered to Formosa to succor the Chinese com
mander. This French man-of-war Tfiompnante
has sailed from Saigon Cochin -China) for Ke-
lung, to join Admiral Courbet's feet.
The Roman Propaganda has advices from the
province of Canton that many Catholic chapels
have been sacked and destroyed. Two hundred
houses of Christians have been pillaged and
burned, and women outraged and men tortured
for refusing to participate in Chinese religious
rites. Two bishops, thirty missionaries and 700
Catholic refugees have arrived at Hong Kong.

A Petition of South Carolina Maids.

COLUMBIA, S.. c.. Oct. 31.-In the records of
the Office of the Secretary of State is tine follow
ing petition, bearing date 1913, addressed to the
Governor of South Carolina, and signed by six
teen maidens:
The Humble Petition of all the Maids Whose Names
Are Underwritten:
Whereas we, the humble petitioners, are at present
IN a very melancholy condition of mind, considering
how all the bachelors are blindly captured by widows,
and we are thereby neglected. In consequence of
this our request is that your Excelency will, for the
future, order that no widow presume to marry any
young man till the maids are provided for, or else to
pay each of them a fine for satisfaction of invading
our liberties, and likewise a fine to be levied on all
Bachelors as shall be married to widows. The great dis
forward carriage, do snap up the young men and have
the vanity TO think their merit beyond ours, which is
4 great i'm position to us, who ought to have the pref
erence. This is humbly I'M to your Excel
1ency's consideration, and we hope you will permit no
further insults. And we poor maids, in duty bound,
will ever pray, etc.

from the Worcester Institute, and was inclined
to vote against brother Blaine, but Senator
Hoar is reported to nave mailed him slips of his
letter to a young friend, and sent him a private
letter, also, which converted Mr.. Thompson into
a sound Blame man. Still, it is claimed by we'll

publicans will bolt Blame on election day.
The Daily Gazette here, edited by d graduate
of Amhest College, has been printing the Multi
gan letters, and regards them as good campaign
matter; but 1 fear that the Hoosier sail is a
stormy one.
One of the funny things about the campaign
in Vigo county is the argument of the German
Republican orators. They assert that Cleve-
land is in sympathy with the Prohibitionists,
and point to the support given him for mayor of
Buffalo by the temperance reformers there.
A live independent Republican is a curiosity
in this section. 1t is rumored that a genuine
%mugwump was captured alive in the town of
Brazil, on the Vandalia road. He was tied to a
tree and photographed, and was then given a
complimentary dinner by the citizens, who es-
corted him to the train.

Beecher,s Bread and Water Speech.

Report in the New York Times, July %, 1877.
1.-THE necessities of the great railroad com
panies demanded that there should be a reduc-
ton of wages. There must be continual shrink
age until things come back to the gold standard,
and wages, as we'll as greenbacks, provisions,
and property, must share in it. 1t was true
that 81 a day was not enough to support a man
and five children if a man would insist on
smoking and drinking beer. Was not a dollar a
day enough to buy breadl Water costs nothing.
Man cannot live by bread alone, it is true, but
the man who cannot live on bread and water is
not fit to live. When a man is educated
away from the power of self-denial, he is f falsely
educated. A family may live on good bread
and water in the morning, water and bread at
midday, and good water and bread at night.
Such may be called the bread of affection, but
it was fit that man should eat of the bread of
affection. Thousands would be very glad of a
dollar a day, and it added to the sin of the men
on strike for them to turn round and say to
those men, You can do so, but you shall not
There might be special cases of hardship, but
the great laws of political economy could not be
set at defiance"
He concluded by declaring that in the end
the men on strike would be defeated, trade re-
sume1, and prosperity once more reign through
out the land.

The Pope Demands AM Explanation.

ROME, Oct. 3L-The Pope is angry at the re
ported speech of Bishop OFarrell, of Trenton,
representing his Holiness as having expressed a
hope that Ireland might soon become indie
pendent of the government of England. The
Pope has cabled the Bishop demanding an ex-
PLANTATION.
1t is officially promulgated from the Vatican
that the Pope never mentioned to Bishop
OFarrell, of Trenton, that he desired that Ire
land should be freed from the rule of the En-
glish government.
A Trenton, N. j. telegram from Bishop
OFarrell, says he has no cablegram from the
Pope, such as announced in a dispatch from
Rome to-day. The Bishop says he does not ex-
pect any such message, as the Pope knows he has
been misrepresented, and did not say what he is
reported to have said in his address on Sunday.

DTOUKIyH LdBTe KtpOTJ.
1t was a spectacle good to look upon that Mr..
and Mrs. Blaine presented. The candidate ap-
peared to be in excellent condition. The great
physical strain which he has been undergoing
for some weeks past does not seem to have had
much effect upon him. Health is proclaimed in
every part of him. 1t shines in his bright,
swapping gray eyes, and speaks for itself in the
color of his cheeks, and the elasticity of his
tread. No %languor, no giving out under the
trying ordeal of the campaign, but full
physical strength and the same mental e~quipoise
of two months ago. Mrs. Blaine, a tail, digni-
fed lady, delicate in build, with a pleasant and
attractive expression, did not appear to be at all
moved by the shouts which were sent up in her
behalf. She took the arm of her husband and
looked down on the crowd with calm approval.
Mr.. Blaine was self possessed as ever. Not a
muscle moved as the crowd rolled out his name
in spontaneous bursts of enthusiasm. With his
hands linked together he viewed the sea of up
turned faces with stoical immobility of express
sion.

Miss Boynton's Case Of Skin and
Blood Disease-The Most Re-
markable Cure on Record.

L have been afflicted for one year and nine months
with what the doctors called rupia. L was taken with
so swollen that l was perfectly helpless, sores broke
out on my body and face, my appetite left NE, L could
not sleep again. L lost flesh, and soon became so
wretched that | longed to die. In this condition., after
trying various remedies, 1 engaged two homeopathic
physicians, DR.. - and DR.. -, and was under their
treatment a year and a half, and failed to get even
temporary relief. My disease grew worse; my suffer-
ings became terrible. l tried faith cure, " but it was
unsuccessful. Kind friends then tried to get me into
the city hospital, but the superintendent. after seeing
me, declined to admit such a case as mine there, and
said l would not live six weeks unless / was relieved.
On the Goth of April last | sent for DR.. f. NJ. Blod-
gett, of Boston. He came, and after an examination
pronounced my case the most hopeless he had ever
witnessed. My photograph, which was then taken at
his desire, while | lay propped up in bed, shows the
disease as it appeared on my face; but no picture could
possibly indicate how much pain and suffering l en-
dured. The eruption had increased to great burrows
ing, foul-smelling sores, from which a reddish matter
constantly poured, forming crusts of great thickness
Other sores appeared on various parts of my body,
and l became so weak that l could not leave my bed;
In this condition, and by advice of DIR. Blodgett, L
began the use of the Cuticura Remedies, the Resolvent
internally three times per day, and the Cuticura and
Cutieura Soap externally. In just sixty days, i. O.,
June 20, l was so far recovered as to be able to go
alone to the gallery and sit for my photograph, which
shows more than words can do the wonderful cure
these remedies have wrought in less than nine weeks.
The sores have all disappeared from my face and
body; my appetite and strength have returned. l am
free from pain, my flesh is increasing, and can 60
about and enjoy life. My restoration to perfect health
is now only a matter of a few weeks. My friends
think my cure miraculous, and | shall never cease to
