BERLIN, Feb. Am official dinner
was given Thursday evening by Count
Won Eulenburg, president of the Prus-
elan council of ministers, at which EN-
peror William, DR.. Miguel, Prussian
minister of finance, and other ministers
were present. The dinner was distin-
guished by the entire suppression Of all
reference to the army bill. Probably
the emperor finds it opportune to have
a period of silence. Another reason for
the reticence at present observed in Off
cial circles is the recent bellicoee speeches
made by the leading generals
who speak out on the necessity of mill
tary reforms. The generals in enthusi-
astlc obedience of orders went beyond
their instru ctions, and the terms used
by them would have been justified only
had Europe been on the eve of q general
conflict. Whatever may be the effect of
these utterances outside Germany,
their influence on the reichstag will be
small. The fate of the bill rests with
the Center party. An unimpeachable
Centrlst authority declares that the
majority OF the Prussian Centrists will
vote for the bill with slight amend
ment, while the South German men,
bers OF the party will continue to op-
pose the whole measure. The govern
ment will thus obtain the small ma
jority of IL. Though the mission of
General Van Lobe, who was appointed
by Emperor William to congratulate the
pope on his episcopal jubilee, is of1ici-
ally denied to be in any way political, it
undoubtedly has bearing on the atti-
tude of the Centrists. who opposed the
Catholic party in Germany toward the
bill.
Since the czarewitch's return to st..
Petersburg the czar is credited with in
structing General Gourkee, governor of
Warsaw, to suspend the massing of
troops along the German frontier. The
members OF Emperor Williams imme-
diate circle make much of the symp-
tom of renewed amity, hence ru-
mors are current of meeting
of the czar, Emperor William
and Emperor Franz Joseph. Rumor
also has it that a conference is being
arranged between the czar and Emperor
William. But Notwithstanding all the
rumors OF pacific intentions, the Rus
sian newspapers of pro-French opinions
take special occasion now to recur to ex-
pressions of hostility to Germany.
There was remarkable episode in the
Alsatian diet at Strasburg on Thursday
when Deputy Petri. formerly staunch
opponent of the German regime, de-
clared amid approving acclamations
from many of his colleagues, that the
time for the anti-German or protest
party was past.

The Ex-Premier Addresses the Liver
pool Chamber of Commerce.
LONDON, Feb. 4.--Lord Salisbury
opened the Liverpool electric railway
today. Afterwards at the Liverpool
town hall, replying to an address from
the chamber of commerce, Lord Sails
bury referred to the increased difficult
ties with which British merchants had
to contend in the way of foreign compe-
tition. He questioned both the
morality and expediency of the
use of tariff as weapon
against other nations, and men
toned as an illustration of his argu-
ment the fiscal wars between France and
Italy and Switzerland as producing dis
aster to all concerned. Lord Salisbury
defended the colonial extension of Eng
lish rule. The whole world, he said,
was benefited by British colonization.
Should other nations obtain colonies
they might not use them in the same
generous manner as England, but might
fence them around with q wall of brass
against British commerce.

A Blue Book on Egyptians Affairs Laid

dive, if he succeeded, in defiance of
England, in changing his ministers, in
tended to dismiss all the British off,

Lord Rosebery and M. Washington,
French ambassador, had several snap
pish interviews. M. Washington
disputed the right of Eng.

objected to the high-banded methods of
Lord Cromer. Lord Rosebery retorted
that the high -handedness was solely on
the part OF the khedive, and as long ss
the British corruption continued he
(Lord Rosebery) would not allow the
Egyptian administration to be changed
from top to bottom at the mere whim
of the khediye.

STAMBOUL'S s RECORD ATTACKED
1t Is Alleged He Did Not TrOt
in 2:07 ~.
An Affidavit Made That He Did No
Better Than 2:16.
Sensational Charges Are Made Against
the Managers of the Stockton
Track-An Investigation
to Be Made.

By the Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 4.-The Evening
Bee today publishes an article from
what is deemed very reliable source,
showing that the stallion Stamboul never
trotted mile in 2:07% on the kite
shaped track at Stockton, and in fact
did not 60 a record faster than 2:16
On December Goth, less than month
after the alleged record smashing at
Stockton, Stamboul WAS sold in New
York to d. H. Hamman for $41, 900. 1t
appears that there was bold conspiracy
to falsify the record in order to get fab
ulous price for the horse.
John s. Reamy, who was one OF the
judges at Stockton when Stamboul trot-
ted, says that he never signed the
judges book and positively denies that
he ever authorized j. M. Larue, the
secretary of the association, to do so.
He says there were no books there, and
he never saw any, and that he is as GER
tain as he can be of anything that Stam-
boul did not make the time in less than
2:16, for he could not have done 80 in
the condition in which the track WAS,
for it was very muddy and heavy.
Grant Campbell has made an affi-
davit that he was present and kept the
time correctly. and that it was 2 :16 and
fraction.

TONS timers, hearing that the affidavit

that man by the name of Ed Smith, a
driver at Stockton, will swear that the
time made by Stamboul was not less

STOCKTON, CAL. Feb. 4.-President
Shippee of the Stockton Trotting asso-
citation says there is no truth in the
story from Sacramento that Stamboul's
record of 2:071Ha, made here, was false
and that he trotted no better than 2:16.
Shippee says that Campbell was not in
the timers stand until after Stamboul
had passed the first quarter, and could
not have caught the mile as the official
time-keeper did. He says the whole
matter is to be investigated by the
board of appeals for the Pacific coast on
the demand of the Stockton association,
and proofs supporting the record will

HELLMAN'S NEW BANK.

He Organizes a Big Financial In stitu-
tiOn In San Francisco.
President I. w. Hellman of the Me-
vada bank, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, has been at work very quiet
ly for many months arranging the plans
of organization for a new financial or
ganization in this city.
As stated in yesterdays Chronicle,
the old Hibernia bank building has
been purchased by this new concern,
and all the arrangements have been
made public by Banker Hellman, who
was called upon yesterday afternoon.
Il have been at work for many
MONTHS" he said, "quietly conducting
affairs so that could organize trust
and savings bank. The idea is to have
trust company organized and conduct.
ed in the manner OF certain large insti-
tutions OF the same kind in New York.
The purpose of the company would be
to act aa executors and trustees for es-
tates, individuals and corporations.
"Iu connection with this my idea was
to conduct savings bank, separate,
however, from the trust company, and
conducted on a regular savings bank

"The matter has finally come to a
head and the Union Trust and Savings
bank of San Francisco has been organ
lied with capital stock OF 81 ,25O,0OO
II am to be the president, but the
other officers will not be elected until
the first meeting of the directors takes
place, sometime within a week. The

Allen, @. de Guigne, Louis Gerstle, J. L.
Flood, Antoine Borel, H. L. Dodge,
George I. Marye, jr., John D. Spreckels,
Robert Watt and Homer s. King.
ut will probably strike you as strange
that an affair of this kind should have
been conducted ho quietly. Each indi-
vidual In it felt interested in not making
1t too public. As for myself 1 was
taught lesson at the time organized
the Nevada bank. Three million dollars
capital was wanted and the public knew
it. The result was 10000, 900 was Of.
fered. This time only 81, ,250, 900 was
wanted and deemed 1t best to say little
about the affair. I picked out the
strongest men financially and the result
was that when the books were opened
yesterday the stock was subscribed be-
fore night"
Mr.. Hellman appeared to be quite
elated over the result, and added, ''and
not one OF them got more than third oi
the stock he wanted"

NEW YoRK, Feb. 4.-President-elect
Clevelsnd was closeted the greater part
of the afternoon with ex. Secretary Fair
child. About O'Clock Don M. Dickin-
son arrived and joined them. Others
who dropped in during the afternoon
were Col. Joseph Keller and Col. s. Pep.

president-elect and ex-Secretary Fair
child about three-quarters of an hour.
Col. Daniel Lamont and Senator Nc
Clelland were also among Cleveland's
afternoon callers.
CABINET POSSIBILITIES.
A local paper will say: The belief is
growing that James O. Carter of this
city is now the choice of Cleveland for
secretary of state, and in the event of
his appointment it is said Judge W. O.
Gresham will likely have his place as at
torney in the Bering sea controversies.
There is good deal of discussion over
Judge Gresham. whose appointment to
q cabinet Office would be received with
disfavor by many Democrats. 1t is
limited that Cleveland has already Of
fsred Judge Gresham an office, and
whatever he was offered he declined.
Henry Willard may be in the cabinet
as secretary of the interior, but the ap-
pointment would create considerable
talk because of his railroad connections.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy William G..
Whitney has been long spoken of for a
cabinet portfolio. If Mr.. Whitney ac-
cepts anything it will probably be the
mission to England or France.
General Patrick Collins of Boston will
likely be New England's repreaen tative
in the cabinet.
SENATOR GRAY DECLINES.
The HERALD's Washington special
says: Senator Gray OF Delaware has de-
clined the offer of the secretaryship of
state. which was rendered him by
Cleveland through Don M. Dickinson
Thursday, preferring to remain in the
senate. He had already declined the
offer OF the attorney generalship. 1t is
said Dickinson and Judge Gresham have
both declined the premiership.

EXTENDED ONE MONTH.
The SIS Rate Holds Good Until
March Ist.
DR.. De MOncO and Associates Continue
Their Grand Offer to the Public.
Their Reasons for So Doing.
What Is Catarrh Deaf and BlinJ
From the Horrible Disease.

owing to the inclemency OF the weather for
the past week, and the urgent request of many
who wished to take advantage of the $5-a-
month rate for all diseases, but we're unable to
do SO during the allotted time, DR.. De Monco
and associates have decided to extend their SIS
rate for one month more, or until March list,
thus giving all ample opportunity, and favor
ing none.
All patients applying for treatment before
March LIST will be treated for $5 month, and
all medicines fur oished free, each m onth's
treatment including medicines, to cost $5 un-
til cured.
Among the many letters received by Drs
Mansfield AMI De Monco during the past few
days we take one irquiring what catarrh is
and what portions of the body it affects.
Many peopls labor under the mistaken idea
that catarrh means simply discharge from
the nottrils, with a hawking and splitting of
mucus; but to the observing physician who
makes a speciality of the disease the word ca
tarrh means more. Experience has taught him
that catarrh is by no means confined to the
head alone, but that the entire system is ire
quently affected by 1t. Thus we have:
Catarrh of the nose, causing frontal head
aches (more commonly known as neuralgia),
sense Of dullness or drowsiness, dizziness con-
Catarrh of the throat bronchial tubes and
lungs, causing sore throat, cough, hoarseness,
or entire loss of voice, bronchitis, asthma,
p1e umOulh, elc.
Catarrh of the stomach (more commonly
called dyspepsia), causing indigestion, heart
burn, water prasf, nausea, fetid breath, pal.
pitation or futtering of the heart, shortness of
breath, etc.
Oatarrh of the bl adder with its long list
of symptoms, causing diabetes, Brights dis
ease, etc.
Catarrh of the bowels, causing alternate
diarrhRa, constipation, piles, etc. In fact,
catarrh affects more or less all the mucus sur
faces of the entire body, causing at times sew.
eral local or neuralgia or rheumatic pains. 60
when we are asked las we often are by patients)
whether we treat other diseases as well es ca
tarrh, we answer yes. We treat all Chronic
Diseases because experience has taught us that
nearly every chronic disease in this climate is
due to a general catarrhal condition OF the sys-
TEN, and in treating this condition we cure the
disease.
Our method of treatment is peculiarly adapt
ed to this class of aiment of the entire mucus
tract of the body. as it is both local and consti
tutional, and each years experience and sue.
cessful treatment only confirms our claim that
this is the only true and rational mode of treat
ment. In this we are borne out by hundreds
nay, thousands-of testimonials from grateful
patients.
