A WONDERFUL CHANGE.
A Child's Complete Restoration TO
Health.

Eyes, sir; / can certainly say that the
treatment of my little girl has been won
derful." The speaker was Mrs. Annie El-
iiott, wife of Lycurgus Elliot, and hNinS
on Webster avenue near b street. Park
View, Portsmouth. Mrs. Elliott talked
freely of her child's suffering and wonder
ful restoration TO health. The child is only
five years old and bears the same name as
its mother. Here is Mrs. Elliotts state-
ment: LESS than three months ago l
carried my child TO see DR.. Coates The
child had been suffering for three years
with catarrh of the head and no physician
in this city could relieve her. 1 read Dr.
Coates advertisement In the papers but
would not go to see him until had made
some personal inquiry. I saw Mr.. II. j.
Lambert of Atlantic City, who had been
cured by DR.. Coates. and asked him about
IT, lie told me that he valued the benefit
received by him at over $1,000. When l
went to the Doctor my little girl was in
an awful condition.
There was a constant discharge from
the ears, which was horrible and very Of
fensve. She was deaf. had no appetite,
and her health was poor. In less than
three weeks l noticed the Improvement IN
her condition. Now she is well. There is
no running at the ear her appetite is
splendid, and that tired feeling has en-
tirely disappeared. She has also gained
In weight. All that | can say Is that the
change I'm her condition has been wonder
full. and I have no hesitancy in recon-
mending DR.. Coates TO all sufferers from
catarrh."

TRI WEEKLY LINE FOR NEW lOi'h
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1893-03-23

The electoral struggle toward which Ger
many is drifting will result in definite settle
ment as to whether the military influence will
be stronger weaker in future. The Germans
have for long time been grumbling over the
increasing expenditures of the military estab-
lishment, and now they have begun TO resist the
demands of the Government The Emperor
has set his heart upon the new :.rmy bill, which
increases the number of enlisted men from
450, 600 to SOC 00o and proportinnate increase
in officers. His Ministers were determined to
push it through the Reichstag without diminu-
tion of its original provisions But the rejec-
tion of the bill by the Military Commission Of
the Parliament, followed by the adjournment
Of the Commission until after Easter, is signal
defeat for the Government If the Emperor
insist and the Reichstag continue intractable,
there will be dissolution and an appeal to the
people, and in this case the new Parliament
would be even less favorable to the burden of
military taxation than the present one. The
German people do not believe that anything in
the political situation justifies increase of
military establishment and the triple alliance
of Germany, Italy, and Austro Hungary is as
firm and as powerful as ever. The German
Emperor is tricky, aud firm believer in the
Divine right of Kings, and the more Germans
that may be drawn from peaceful pursuits into
the army the fewer will be the defenders of
public liberties should the Emperor attempt to
put his principles of absolutism into practice.

Prevention for Cholera.

A conference of the Maritime Quarantine
officers and officers of the Marine Hospital
Service convened at Washington March Is, at
the Office of the Supervising Surgeon General
[Wyman) Of the Marine Hospital Service. Tho
object of the conference is to secure the CO.
operation of the State aud local maritime
quarantine officers in the adoption Of set of
uniform quarantine regulations in order to
guard against cholera. DIR. Wyman opened the
conference in an address, in which he stated
its purpose and explained the act of the last
session of Congress establishing additional
quarantine laws. The regulations suggested to
meet the difficulty were read section by section
and were freely discussed. The discussion was
conducted in an entirely friendly tone through
out. The meeting was harmonious and will
be continued until a satisfactory set of rcgula-
tons have been mutually agreed upon.
Reports from southwestern Russia show that
the cholera has got hold on several cities and
many villages. In Stavrapol the fresh cases in
the last week have numbered on the average Is
daily and the deaths between seven and eight.
In Astrakhan 107 cases have developed since
Feb. 90. In both cities the authorities have
called the disease dysentery, and deny that
any cholera has appeared there in the last four
months, but private advices received in Odessa
from physicians resident in the infected dis
tricts leave no doubt as to the choleraic nature
of the epidemic.

Not Relished by the conservatives.

In the English House of Commons the other
day Mr.. T. Gibson Bowles, Conservative NJ. p.
for Kings Lynn and known rs a leading news
paper man, called attention to the subject of
the Boring Sea arbitration. He urged that it
involved the question of the freedom of the
high Seas and such question ought not, he
contendeds' TO be submitted to arbitration.
England Mr. Bowles continued, never sue
ceeded under arbitration, because England had
not a single friend among European powers
In view of the decisions in the Alabama con-
troversy, and San Juan and Delago Bay dis
putes. no satisfactory result could be expected
from the Boring Sea arbitration. There were
advantages in war, as leading usually to last
ing settlement, and war usually left sentiments
of mutual respect between combatans. If tho
country was unable to protect the high seas and
had to coerce a great colony on such a matter
all the dispatches the Foreign Offices could issue
would not hide the fact that the greatness Of
England had gone.
Sir Edward Grey. Parliamentary Under Secre-
tary for the Foreign Office, replied that the re-
marks Of the honorable member were singularly
inopporune, seeing that the arbitration relat-
ing to Boring Sea was now proceeding. Sir
Edward deprecated further discussion
Mr.. w. A. Hunter. Liberal, NJ. 2. for Aber-
deem, said that the remarks Of the honorable
member for Kings Lynn contained reflection
upon Lord Salisbury for having agreed 10 arbi-
trate the Boring Sea issue. Lord Salisbury was
always weak, Mr.. Hunter said, in dealing with
a strong Nation, and scandalously strong in
dealing with weak one
These remarks of Mr.. Hunter were evidently
not relished by the Conservatives, and the SUBJ
ject was dropped without further remarks.

Ready for the Cherokee Strip.

The boomers ranks are fast filing up and
the scenes along the borders of the Cherokee
Strip are growing liyelier every day. The
town of Orlando, on the south line has trebled
in population within the past 10 days, and at
Saltwater it looks as though an army were
camped about the town. visit to the northern
line reveals continuous line of tents, covered
wagons, shanties and dug-outs from the Chiloco
Indian Schools. 30 miles west, to Caldwell, and
every hour brings new arrivals.
Every few miles squad of cavalry is quar-
tered and sentries ride back and forth regu-
larry keeping out of the promised land all who
cannot show proof that they are journeying to
some point beyond, and are not in search of
good locations.
Meetings were held March 10, and President
Cleveland and Secretary Smith will be bonn
barded with resolutions, demanding all other
business to be laid aside temporarily, and the
strip opening attended to at once.

Death in Blazing Oil.

The Captain and crew of the British steam
ship Athens. from Batoum to port in the
United Kingdom, have been blown 10 pieces by
al explosion of crude petroleum, near the Bos.
phorus
The steamer was totally wrecked. She was
loaded with ZOO tons of crude petroleum in
bulk. and it is believed that no provision was
made for the expansion of the oil in the vary
ing temperatures which she had to pass through
to reach her destination. at Bartoum. where
she loaded, the temperature was below zero,
and she was filled to her maximum carrying
capacity. On approaching the warmer Medi-
terranean waters the oil began to expand, and
a terrific explosion took place. The accident
was similar to that OH the Lux few months
ago, only two persons escaping with their lives.
