To Test the Efficiency OF, Her Newly Or.
ganized Army and Navy In n Tussel
with the Foreigners, Relying Upon
Japan for Assistance in Emergency.
SHANGHAI, Nov. 13.-Prince Ii, the
Chinese premier, has been playing a
sharp game between Russia and En-.
gland, but Lord Salisbury's inaction
has foiled the willy statesman's plans
to get the two nations at each others
threats.
The Ichang indemnity, however, has
not yet been paid, and the hatred ex-
pressed for the missionaries does not
abate in its bitterness.
From present indications trouble Is
inevitable between China and the Pow
ers. The French admiral is particu-
larly demonstrative and bent upon
bringing on a conflict. The American
admiral is leaving the Lancaster to re-
place the Charleston, which has gone
to Honolulu, as stated in a former dis
patch, -
1t Is becoming obvious that the Chi
nese are hostile to all foreigners, and
that the imperial government will not
be sorry to see hostilities begin, with a
view of demonstrating the strength OF
the empire, and the efficiency Of the
newly organized army and navy.
China has a promise of support from
Japan, and the Japanese fleet is on its
way to Chinese waters. But whether
Japan would be willing to join in fight
ing the allied powers of Europe is at
least doubtful.

In the discussion over the time for holding the election for ratifying the constitution and the probability for admission before the next presidential tion.1sSmith said admission would not be al owed in any ev, n until aft that election. We might as we'll look such fact squarely in the face. He though however that the present Congress would admit Arizona with that limititation if the Constitution received sufficient majority. But an early election should be held in order to get congressional action with. out trying to force that body. The constitution ought to reach Congress as shortly after the holidays as possible Arizona must expect to make her fight single handed and alone. There was great opposition to the admission of New Mexico and Utah. We could not go in with them. Herring accept ed the date proposed by Barnes on Congressman Smiths explanation.

A Bad Breuk.!

Jo Curby was before Judge John ston today on charge of assault up on Harry Drager in the St. Louis Beer Hall. He pleaded guilty and sentence was deferred till this evening at 6 o'clock. The testimony went to show that Brown and Curby were having an altercation and Harry stepped in to preserve the peace. He received for his good intentions the full force of an arm chair on top of his head, from the hands of Jo Curby. The blow was a severe one and the friends of the in jured man attended at once to having his head sewed up as soon as possible. Dr. Goodfellow performed the oper- ation. Curby's defense was that the blow was aimed at Browns head and that the striking of the peace maker was accidental.

Symptoms of Consumption.

Symptoms of OfCOnsumptiOn.
 WILLIAM J. SHARPLEs, PORT DRAM, Morris Co.,, N. J., writes:
 My business is that of sharpening mine drills and I am much exposed to smoke and gas. About three years ago I began to have bad cough, with considerable indigestion and pains in my chest. My physicians told me l had symptoms of consumption. By the advice Of my father, an old friend of BRANDRETH's PILLS, I commenced using that valuable remedy. By the time I had got through the second box l began to pass very disagreable humor or pus. began to improve very rapidly after this, and grew stronger and better every day. My cough is now we'll. I sleep we'll at night and have no more indigestion.
