THE PENSION MONEY.

Secretary Foster Thinks He VIII Have
No Trouble In Meeting the Demand.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-With reference
to the quarterly pension payments, due
June 4, aggregating $26,000,000, Secre-
tary Foster says that he does not antici-
pate any difficulty in meeting the de-
mand. He had no doubt but that the re-
ceipts over the expenditures won d be
sufficient to meet this amount. There
was already ON hand nearly $4,000, 900
surplus.
There would be no necessity of calling
in the deposits held by the National
banks on account of the Government to
meet pension obligations. The amount
of Government funds on deposit with
National banks was $4,000, 900.
The Secretary thought it likely that an
opportunity to renew the $4,000, 900
4 1-2 per cent bonds would be given to
the holders of said bonds, after Sept. /,
at the rate of not more than 2 per cent.
He had no doubt that definite steps
would be taken in the matter in a short
time.
With regard to the shipments of gold,
Secretary Foster said that it con-
clusively showed that the credit of the
United States could not be shaken by
any drain upon it.

THE BLAINE RUMORS
Friends Deny that the Sec
tary is Breaking Down.
SIMPLY A VICTIM OF ovERwoRK
EmmOns Blaine Says the Whole Story is
tho Result Of Personal Spite.

Secretary Tracy Says MIR. Blaine IL ms
Strong Mentally as He Ever was-The
Matter Discussed I'm a Cabinet Meeting.
Public Uneasiness Caused by the Mis-
leading Statements Given Out Daily.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-Secretary Tracy
in an interview about published state
ments casting doubts upon Secretary
Blaine's real condition, mentally and
physically, denies emphatically the truth
of such statements, land any statement"
he said, chat Mr.. Blaine is not as strong,
sound and alert mentally as he ever has
been does him grave injury.
1.-The last time saw Secretary Blaine"
he added, "only few days before he left
for New York, we were together long
time in consultation over a most impor-
tant public document. 1t was criticised
and discussed at great length, and have
never seen him when he appeared to bet
Ter advantage than he did on that occa-
nion."
The statement as to the Secretary's
health was discussed in the Cabinet, and,
while there was no divergence there from
the general opinion as to the character of
the publication, nevertheless some of the
Cabinet members were inclined to think
that the misleading statements given out
from day to day in regard to Mr.. Blaine's
condition were largely responsible for
the public uneasiness.

THEY SCENT DANGER
Keystone Bank Directors Pre-
pairing for Trouble.
OFFERED FOR MARSH.
Philadelphias City Treasurer Has Made
an Assignment

He L. Being Swallowed by Ohacers-The
Tangle Seems to BE Increasing and the
End Far Distant-A Member of the Se-
lect Council Makes a statement-GOv.
Pattison Wants Information.
PHILADELPHIA; May 23.-The sensational
developments in the matter of the city's
financial affairs, the Keystone Bank and
the Spring Garden Bank continue to be
OF paramount interest, and they were
further intensified by the rumors con-
corning another national bank which has
city money on deposit. President Marsh
has not been found, and his bondsmen
have offered q reward of s., 900 for his
capture. There was q rumor that he had
been apprehended in Montreal, but this
the government officers of this city de-
MED.
In the meantime Bardsley's affairs are
becoming more complicated. The court
granted an order that he should answer
such questions as Councils investigating
committee saw fit to put to him. He
has made an assignment for the benefit
of his creditors, and his bondsmen at
tached the Bradford Mills property.
There is no doubt he is a ruined man.
The experts appointed by the mayor are
still at work on his books, but it will be
some time before they have anything
definite to give out.
The city treasurer is being Swallowed
by the officers, but those in authority
are delicate in their admission of this. It
is even rumored that he will be arrested,
and the equivocal replies of the mayor
and others to questions on this point
only tend to confirm these suspicious.
Bardsley was at his Office until noon,
when, at the bidding of deputy United
States marshal, he went to the marshal's
office. He issued a statement concern
ing his connection with the Clamer notes,
which Mr.. Clamer corroborates in full.
Governor Pattison, as the State Execu-
tive, enters upon the proceedings. He
has instructed Auditor-General Mecca
mant to gather such information as may
be obtainable, 50 that he may take such
action as the circumstances may warrant.
The tangle seems to be increasing, and
the end still seems to be far in the dis
tance.
A reliable member of select council
made this statement: ''The end is not
yet. 1 can tell you for a fact that sew
eral of the directors of the Keystone Bank
have within the past few weeks sold or
otherwise disposed of their horses and
other property. They scent danger in
the air. They have been allowed suffi-
Gent time and they have made the most
of it. If you levy on several of them to-
day you would get nothing. They have
been preparing, and are prepared for un-
pleasant experiences.

CANADA IN TROUBLE.

Everything In Confusion and Everybody
Is Alarmed.
OTTAWA, May 23.-Matters at Ottawa
are in a critical condition. Sir John
Macdonald is i'll again, suffering, it is
said, from a collapse similar to that
which came upon him at Kingston dur
ing the elections.
His Oldest colleague, Sir Hector Lam
gevin is lying under Indictment for
fraud and malversation of public funds.
Mr.. Chapleau is demanding the French
leadership in virtue of his greater SER
vices and cleaner reputation, while con-
viction that the end of the long reign is
near is corroding the allegiance of many
private members elected to support the
Government.
Its humber workers in the country
are hurrying as fast as they can under
the friendly roof of the Custom House OF
Postoffice. Everything is in confusion;
everybody is alarmed. There is talk of
sending for Upper, but no one believes
his presence could avert the crash that is
imminent

GUARDING THE GAR.

Big Police Force Organized in Moscow
to Protect Russia's Ruler.
LONDON, May %. Great preparations
are being made in Moscow for the COM
ing visit of the Gar to lay the foundation
of a memorial to the late emperor. The
exact date of the visit is kept secret, as
usual in regard to the Cars movements
House owners have been notified to pro-
vide number of men to act as undress
police on the occasion of the visit, and
each house owner will be held RESPONSE
BILE for the good conduct of the men pro-
vided by him. The number of men so Sc
lected is to be considerable, and it is esti-
mated that not less than one in ten of
the crowd on the occasion will be acting
in the capacity of special constables.
The cause for the unusual precautions
is chiefly the bitter and revengeful feel
ing aroused in the Jewish population by
the expulsion of the lower classes of Mos
cow Jews

A Big Estate without an Executor.

cause he moved out of the State, and he
has just made an accounting before the
surrogate of Rockland County, showing
that the estate is indebted to him for
$4,000. His successor has been appointed,
but the necessary bond of $3.50, 1000 has
not yet been furnished, hence the estate
is now without an executor or admins
traitor. Several of the legacies have
been disputed, and it is possible that no
legatee will ever receive any of the large

What are Chronic Diseases !?

Chronic Diseases are habits. EveryS
body is aware of the force of habits: how
enduring they are, how difficult to change
them. This is why parents SO constantly
1nculcate upon their children habits of
order, cleanliness, truthfulness, obedience,
etc. The constant REPETITION of an action
forms this powerful, persistent, well-nigh
Interchangeable characteristic that is termed
habit; just in the same way, in the physi-
cal frame, does the diseased organs, when
the abnormal state is long continued, as
sumo this diseased action as its habits, It
has its origin, like habit, in continuance
of unhealthy action; it acquires the in
tense hold and grasp of habit, and thus
at length, passes into the very character
of nature itself--diseased nature. And now,
remedies which, in the acute stage, would
have been sufficient, are found utterly
inappropriate and inefficient. From this
necessary brief statement, it will be seen
that the treatment of Chronic Diseases
may well constitute special branch of
| the medical profession, as the surgeon is
distinguished from the physician. Chronic
Diseases are peculiar in their obscurity
and obstinacy, therefore, their diagnosis
and treatment are peculiar; and hence
there must be corresponding peculiar
sagacity, springing from natural endow-
ment, sharpened by careful study, and in
structed by long and widely extended
experience, to discern rightly the source
from which these CHRONIC COMPLAINTS
have arisen, the course they have run,
and the essential fe",nses of the stage at
which they have arrived.

PASSED FOR A YEAR.
The General Assembly DispOses of the
Confession of Faith Problem.

concession OF talth frODlem'
DETROIT, Mich, May 23.-The expected
debate on Revision of the Confession was
closed for this year by the adoption of
DIR. Hayes's motion that the report of the
committee be sent down to the Presby-
teries for criticisms, ETC., using which the
committee-continued at its request
till next assembly-can then make its
final report.
President Patton, Of Princeton, proba-
bly, represented those who have urged
important notifications of the report If
there had been any proposition that the
assembly should adopt as its own the
recommendations of the report before
sending it down. He made the principal
address urging that it be sent down with
out any adoption or endorsement.
1t is rumored that Professor Briggs has
announced his determination to contest
every point in his case, carrying them
into the civil courts, and up to the high
est courts any points involving civil
rights, and thus keeping up conflict it
may be for years.

What Emmons Blaine Says.

New York, May 23.-Emmons Blaine,
when asked regarding the reports about
his father, said: ''The story is lie and a
gross misrepresentation. Any denial of
it would be almost useless, as the state
ments are merely general and refer in a
great degree to what is past and gone"
Young Mr.. Blaine went on to say that
in his opinion the whole story was the
result of personal spite. His father, he
said, was simply the victim of over-work.
Regarding the statement that the bust
ness of the State Department suffered on
account of the mental inability of its
chief, young Mr.. Blaine said that the
official records of his fathers Office would
completely disprove such grounless as

Ten Negro Convicts Meet Death in a Mine
I'm Alabama.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 29.-At the
Pratt mines an explosion of gas in a shaft
where convicts are worked killed ten
negro convicts and one free miner named
Tom Moore.
1t is believed that the men had in
some way knocked off a plank from a
door which stood across an old chamber
and on which the word "Gas" was writ
ten. The gas rushed out and caught fire
from the lamp.
Officers of the company went to the
rescue and worked to save the men, but
were themselves suffocated and narrowly
escaped, being dragged out unconscious.
The bodies of the dead have all been
recovered.
The mines are not considered in danger
from gas as a rule, and this is the first
accident of the sort for long time.
Two life convicts worked faithfully
with the rescuing party.
