PLAIN TALK TO THE EMPEROR.
Spectators Taking Advantage Of the
Threatened English Strike to Raise
Prices-Cabinet Crisis In France.

BERLIN, March "A large number OF unenn-
ployed workmen of Hanover marched to the
municipal works today and demanded the dis
charge of Polish laborers. Their demand being
re used, they made an attack on the Poles and
number were injured The police suppressed
the riot and arrested the leaders.

LONDON, March 1.-The price OF coal Ii still
rising in anticipation of the scarcity OF men
when the threatened strike OF miners occurs on
March T. It is estimated that through the
closing of factories and other works for want
of coal about 5,0000)0 people will directly or
indirectly feel the attempt Of the miners to keep
the standard of their wages up. Excitement
continues at the coal exchange, due to the
rapid advance In the price of coal and uncer-
tainty as to the point values will reach. Prices
took another upward bound this afternoon,
the advance amounting to shiilings
per ton. OF course the worst suffer
ers are the poor people, who are COM
PEELED TO buy coal supplies in small quantities
at the prices now demanded. 1t is impossible
for this class to supply their wants, and conse-
aueutly there is much suffering. 1t il said
there is no good reason for the advance in
prices: that the jumps in values are due en-
tirely to SPECTATORS, who wish to dispose OF
their chcaply bought stocks at famine prices.
The miners are still working, and the usual
output ia reaching the markets. The strike
does not begin for ten days, and q compromise
may yet be reached.

Tampering With the Jury.

Boston, March 1.-The announcement yester-
day that an indictment had been found against
a certain person charged with tsmpering with
the United States grand jury and endeavoring
to prevent the indictment of whisky trust Off
cials was confirmed tonight, and the name of
the person made public DR.. Nathaniel Ware
Halves, a dentist, is stated to be the indicted
person, but he has not yet been ar
rested. DIR. Halves admits having talked
with one of the jurors about the case, but
denies that any offer of money was made, or
that he bad any intention whatever of influence
ing the jury. According to his statement, hav-
ing personal friends among the whisky trust
members, he remarked in the course OF
friendly conversation with one of the jurors
that If the members of the trust could be heard
by the jury, an Indictment would not be found
against them. Or. Halves and the Juror with
whom he conversed personally were acquainted
with each other. and thess facts are said to ac-
count for the indiscretion committed by the
former in holding the convers alton.

number of protests against the passing of the
Dill recently introduced in the House Of Repre-
sentatives by Bryan, o: Nebraska, placing lum-
Der on the free list The convention asks that

Killed by Heart Disease, Owing to the
B1uebird Mine Failure.

BUTTE, March 2.-lspecial.l IA cipher cable
received here today from London by officials OF
the Bluebird Mining Company contained news
of the death of its president, Ferdinand Van
Zandt The news coming so suddenly after the
collapse of the company. which occurred on
Monday. gave rise to the thought that he had
committed suicide As to the manner of his
taking off. the cablegram did not divulge it.
Van Zandt appeared physically perfect, yet it is
stated that he had heart disease. He sent
cabegram yesterday stating that he would sail
for New York this morning. At o'clock this
afternoon the news of his death was received.
He was Of splendid and vigorous manhood
and his death, 1t is believed by his intimate
friends, was caused by overanxiety about the
collapse OF his great mining enterprise, in which
he took so much pride. Litigation and heavy
investment in copper mines and disappoint-
ment OF hopes as to the output of the Biuebird
mine, coupled with failure to raise money in
England, have wrought the death of Mr.. Van

Lubbock como years ago. His wife is now at

WASHINGTON CRY, March I'm the Senate
Dolph, in presenting petitions from his state
favoring government aid for the Nicaragua
canal, said he was urgently in favor of such
legislation.
He regarded 1t as the most important public
question that Is now or that has been in
the last quarter OF a century before congress
ana before the American people. He was most
sanguine as TO the ability OF the can al company
70 secure the construction AMI completion Of
the canal, and he wished TO see the United
states az the head of the matter: First, because
ne desired to have the csnal speedily con-
structed; second, because he desired that who
ever constructed it should be under the control
OF the United states; third. because he desired
the canal TO be capitalized only at its actual
cost The value of the canal, when constructed,
TO the people OF the United states would depend
largely on the amount Tor which the company
had been capitalized. He therefore was ear
nestly in favor OF the governments aid to secure
the early completion of the canal.
The Idaho election case was thsn taken u p.
Villas argued in favor OF Dubois, and Teller, who
was to close the debate, said he did not care to
weary the Senate any further, and moved vote
This, however, was postponed until tomorrow
afternoon, and the Senate adjourned

Dear Sir: l would have written to you
before this. but thought I would wait
awhile and see if there would be any re-
lapse. 1t has been six months since
stopped your treatment, and, as there has
been no return of former symptoms, am
assured that my cure Is complete. I can
eat kinds of food now that 1 have not
been able to eat for fifteen years, and do
not remember that my bowels were ever
so regular. l am indeed a thousand times
obliged to you for what you have done for
me. We have used your medicines in our
family several times for acute cases and
always with the best results. I am fully
satisfied that you can cure anything that
can be cured. 1 shall always be pleased
to recommend your treatment to others,
for to you and your remedies owe more
than 1 can ever express. I pray God that
you may live many years to benefit others
as you have me. Please accept the graft
tude of an overlooking heart.
Respectfully yours,
MRS. G. HOLCOMB.
