The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the worlds best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs.
 T Its excellence is due to it's presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of perfect lax ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

SENSATIONAL AFFAIR.

An Alleged American Under Contract
with Chinn to Blow Up tho Japanese
Navy-An International Complication.
VICTORIA, Nov. 20.-The steamship
Empress, OF China, arrived at noon to-
day with Yokohama advices to the
ninth instant. Some excitement has
been created in Yokohama by the de-
ten.ion Of O. & o. steamship Gaelic on
her outward voyage to Hong Kong in
order that search for contraband
goods might be made by the Japanese
authorities.
Captain Pearne protested against the
search, but otherwise offered no oppo-
sition. The proceedings were conduct
ed with perfect courtesy on both sides
and the ship was allowed to 20 on her
way. In obedisnce to telegrams sent to
Shanghai, her mission TO search the
steamer Sydney was obtained from
the French consul and the discovery
was soon made that passenger calling
himself John Brown, an acknowledged
alias, and claiming to be an American,
was bound for China, under contract
with the authorities OF that empire ITO
destroy the Japanese navy within eight
weeks from the time OF his arrival. !"
He proiessed to have discovered an ex-
plosive OF tremendous power which he
had first offered to Japan, but as bis
proposal was contemptuoualy refused,
he turned TO the other belligereht
and sought employment from
the Chinese legation at Washington.
Receiving sufficient encouragement for
his purposes, he started at once for the
east, accompanied by an American as
sistant, registered as George Howie, and
and Chinese interpreter furnished
him BY the legation. How the Japanese
were warned OF this transaction has
not vet been discovered, but
they determined at all hazards
to prevent further progress Of
the party. The affair concerns more or
less directly three western nations-the
United States, France and England =
and II is already under consideration by
the diplomatic agents OF the respective
governments. Japan claims that
seizure OF this description is justified by
the recognized principles OF interna-
honal law,
The parties arrested bore letter to
Ii Hung Chang, from the envoy at
Washington aud also formal contract
promising to pay one million dollars
for the destruction OF the Japanese navy
aud specified sum for every merchant
ship destroyed. 1t appears that one
hundred dollars have already been paid
on account, Some doubts are enter
tanned as to the nationality OF Brown
and HOWE. They declare themselves
English by birth but Americans by
naturalization.
The official report OF the great earth
quake OF October %. in Northern Japan,
show that 1,l55 houses were over.
thrown, zoos houses were burned. 4s2
persons were killed and 66l were in
turad.

Holmes Identified.

TnroS, N. H., Nov. 2o-H. Il.
Holmes who was arrested in Boston on
the charge Of copspiring to defraud the
Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany OF $4,000 is q New Hampshire
man. Holmes, or Herman Mudgett, as
he is known here, is thirty.four years
old and was born in small town few
miles from here. He was regarded as O
scape.grace and never had any partic-
ular occupation. Eight years ago he
left very mysteriously and nothing has
been known OF him until last
year when he visited his parents.
He explained that when he left
New Hampshire -ne went west, and
while travelling there he had his skull
fractured and was robbed Of bis gold
watch and considerable money in q
railroad accident; that the railway COM
pany placed him in hospital, where he
was for many months at the expense OF
Of the company, but the name OF the
railroad be could never remember. In
the hospital he was given the name OF
Fl. q. Holmes, aud went out not know
ing that he had ever had any other.
He then went to Ann Arbor, studied
law, graduating and taking degree.
During the years OF his mental trouble
he married o western woman, aud by
her had one child. When the name OF
Herman Mudgett dawned upon him, he
said he had an uncomfortable desire to
visit his homo and friends, and that is
how be accounted for his sudden ap-
pearance here.
