a Valuable Discovery.

A graduate Of Yale College, DR.. Samuel
Z. Cox, d. D., Practical and Analytical
Chemist, Washington, d. c., makes the
following official statement: !" To the
thousands whose systems instinctively
shrink from the use of Morphia and Opium,
and especially to mothers, who justly dread
the evil, and at times, fatal effects of these
dangerous drugs, the Red Star Cough Cure
must prove boon. 1t is not only entirely
free from all opiates, poisons, and emetics
"a thing which not one cough preparation
ten can boast), but it is altogether an
original and most happy combination OF
the best remedial agents, and is as harm
less as it is effective. / base this assertion
on careful analyses and numerous practical
tests-the latter in every case resulting in
q speedy cure.
The Charles A Vogeler Company, Balti-
more, Maryland, are the Sole Owners and
Manufacturers Of this valuable remedy.

ment, DR.. James A. Steuart, one OF the
most eminent physicians in America, says:

PATTI Will SING AT NEW YORK.
RieI'S Array.

WINNIPEG, April 1T The latest
from the field of operations in the
northwest is 10 the effect that the In
dams are gathering in bands about
Battleford, and are threatening an
attack which it is felt must be made
before Col. Otter, with his flying
column, arrives there. All the stock
that could be found by the redskins
along either side of the Saskatchewan
north of Battleford has teen driven
off and killed. The Indians appear
TO be lying up a store of provisions,
as if for a long campaign. Many
bands crossed Battle river to day, and
an attack upon the barracks is ex-
pected tomorrow. The earthworks
around the barracks have been COM
pleted. A number of scouts were
sent from Battleford to meet Middle
ton at Clarke's Crossing, in order
to acquaint him with the
true position of affairs. Great
loss has been occasioned to settlers in
the vicinity of Battleford, everyone's
buildings being burned. Gen. Mid
dleton has telegraphed instructions
that the governor generals body
guards should, for the present, remain
at Winnipeg, and when sent south
west their destination would be wifi
Current. Col. SCOTS battalion will
be divided, one-half being left at
Swift Current, and the remainder
being sent on TO Calgary. No troops

will be kept in Winnipeg, and those
now en- route north of Lake Superior
will be forwarded on their arrival
The following is the latest report
from Middleton's camp:
The column is now sixty miles south
of Clarke's Crossing and is nearing
the rebel territory. This morning
flying column of artillery, with one
gun, was sent forward to take posi-
ton at the crossing and hold it to pre-
vent surprise from the enemy. This
action was ordered by Middleton be-
cause of the rebel scouts encountered
by his scouts The remainder of the
column will follow quickly. The
royal grenadiers have caught up and
the column is now complete.
The position at Prince Albert is
most critical. Rations now are a
pound and half of -four daily for
each family eff four or five. The
rebels also are said to be suffering for
want of rations Gen. Middleton will
use the Saskatchewan river as much
as possible for forwarding supplies to
the north. The steamer Northcote
will be kept constantly running. The
general deems the river route the
safest by which to transport supplies.
He will establish stronghold at
Clark's Crossing as base Of supplies
for northwestern points. It will be
strongly garrisoned, and supplies can
be forwarded to it both by the over
land route and by the Saskatchewan
river.
The Seventh fusiliers, of London,
Canada, 800 strong, under the com
mand Of Col. Williams, arrived here
this morning and went into camp till
further orders. Col. SCOTS battalion
leaves for the front in the morning.

by the government, which is respon
sible for the troubles, and consequent
ly they will not fight against men

Gov. Dewdney and other Northwest
officials who brought on the troubles
by malfeasance and Encouragement.

MADAME ADELINA PATTI.

She will Live in her Castle. Her
Divorce and Future Plans.
CHICAGO, April II. MADAME AIDE
lima Patti has written Colonel Maple
ton announcing that she will be un-
able to fulfill her New York engage
ments owing to i'll health and an
imperative order from her physician
to cease work for several weeks To
q representative of the associated press
this morning she said she had felt
necessarily obliged TO retire for
time and that this has been forcibly
impressed upon her by reason of her
heavy work in this city. She would
therefore obey her physician and
would sail at once for England from
New York. Incidentally she remarked
that her divorce from De Coux was
absolute and that she could now sing
in France without having her salary
attached under her nuptial contract.
She expects to remain in her castle
at Wales for several months, and
then she expects to sing In London,
Paris and probably st. Petersburg.
Her divorce proceedings have been
dragging for years, and Patti stated
that they involved direct outlay on
her part, fully half million france
Her to-night's performance therefore
concludes her American engagement,
she having sung 43 times receiving
$168,00O.

An Agreement Between England
and Russia.
KoMoRoFF KEEPS IT TO HIMSELF AND

KOMOROFF KEEPS IT TO HIMSELF AND
ALLOWS THE BATTLE TO GO ON.
LONDON. April Gladstone, in
the house of commons this afternoon,
stated that the government had, yes
terday. received from Sir Peter Lums-
den reply to her request for an indie
pendent report on the Penideh
incident. In this it was stated that
Gen. Komoroff was aware as early as
the date of March 28th of the under
standing agreed upon on March 18th
between Russia and England. Ac-
cording to the terms Of this agreement
England was to deter the Afghans
and the car was TO deter
his troops frona advancing
beyond the position which they then
respectively occupied, until some sub
sequent agreement about the demar-
cation of the Afghan frontier could
be reached between the two govern
ments. The battle on the Kushk was
fought, therefore. several days after
Gen. Komoroff had been made aware
of the agreement not to advance. It
will be remembered that Capt. Yates,
British officer, who wit
messed the battle, was assured
by Russian officer, who commanded
the fight, that he knew nothing of the
understanding of the 18th of March.
Sir Peter LumsdeG's report appears to
warrant the inference that whatever
General Komorof knew. officially,
about the st. Petersburg agreement
with London, he kept it to
himself, Gladstone, being asked
if the government had protested
against the recent occupation of Pend
jeh by Gen. Komarof and his estab-
hshment of the Russian administers
ton there, answered that the govern
ment han not yet made either occu-
pants subject of official communi-
cation with the Russian government
but was awaiting further information.
The premier said concerning these
events:
ST. PETERSBURG, April 17-Gen.
Komorof reports that the Afghans
evacuated all the frontier posts and
the Russian outpOsts now occupy their
former positions. He states that he
will proceed shortly to inspect his
advanced posts.
