"Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat. and is in
fact, the great enemy of the mucous men,
brane. Neglected colds in the head almost
invariably precede catarrh, causing an ex-
cessive flow of mucous. and if the mucous
discharge becomes in terrupted the disagreea-
BILE results of catarrh will follow, such as
bad breath, severe pain across forehead
and about the eyes, roaring and buzzing
sound in the ears and oftentimes very
offensive discharge. Ely's Cream Balm is
the acknowledged cure for these troubles.

cred by DR.. Moulton of Portland.
Especial to the PRESS. J

Brunswick, January 10.-The fifteenth
course of lectures of the Medical School
of Maine opened at Bowdoin College to-
day. with promise of a large attendance.
The Introductory lecture was delivered
at O'Clock Thursday, in Memorial
Hall, BY Professor Willis B. Moulton, NJ.
D., of Portland. President Hyde, in in
Producing the Professor, cordially well
coined all to the school. He stated that
the coming course had been extended

viii furnish unsurpassed advantages for
special courses in chemistry.

THE HEATHEN CHINEE
While Negotiating for Peace Has
Been Procuring Supplies.

A Number of Rapid Fire Cannon With
Ammunition Shipped From This
Country-Attempts by China to Buy
Warships.
Washington, January 1O.-Conirma-
tion of the statements that China's ac-
tion in appointing peace commissioners
was merely with view to gaining time
in which to make preparations for renew
ing hostilities has been received at the
War Department. That department has
been informed that China is placing Or
des in Germany and other countries for
arms and ammunition, and that she IS
negotiating with several nations for the
purchase of ships. Among these na-
tions is Great Britain, and there is
pssibiiity that some of the second or
third class ships of that government may
be transferred to the Chinese govern
ment. The South American nations
that have navies have also been APP
preached by the Chinese government,
bnt whether it has been successfui In
completing it's negotiations in that
quarter no one in Washington seems to
know. The war department has simply
been informed that negotiations are in
progress, but as yet is in the dark as to
the result. -
If reports are to be believed, the Uni
ted States is also supplying the Chinese
government with war material. For the
last two months the Hotchkiss works in
Connecticut have been open night and
day turning out guns and ammunition.
According to the instructions received
in Washington by the agent of the
Hotchkiss company, General Ordway,
this material is destined for three ma
tions. The shipments are made to Ham
burg, Germany, to an agent of the
Hotchkiss firm there. Several ship
ments have been made up to the pres
ent time, and two others will be made
on the 18th and 18th insts. So far, 80
rapid fire guns of the one and two pound
type, have been shipped. They are
mounted on field mounts, and ammuni-
tion to the extent of 40, GOO rounds has
been manufactured for their use.
OF the three nations which this mate
rial is destined for. one of these, it is
probably definitely known, is Brazil,
and one of the others is said to be Chi
ma, Just how the material will be got
ten into the celestial kingdom, with the
japanese masters of the sea in the east,
is a question which the Chinese and the
manufacturers with whom they have
placed their orders are now studying.
All these goods are. of course, contra
band of war, and will be seized by the
Japanese if they possibly can get hold
of them. All merchant ships that
touch the Chinese ports are examined,
and any goods of a contraband nature
they may have in their cargoes are con-
fiscated.

DEMOCRATS FEAR INVESTIGATION.
The Tennessee Disputed Election Causing
Trouble.

Nashville. Tenn, January 10. The Senate
today received an address and petition from
Governor Turney. in which he claims to
have received the highest number of legal
votes at the last election. and he was then
elected governor. Gov. Turney says that
he is informed that 81. G. Evans received
the highest number Of votes cast. and he is
also informed that this result WAS due to
gross and fraudulent disregard and viola-
tion Of the law. An Investigation will es-
tablish this fact. Gov. Turney's address
requests joint convention be selected and
thorough investigation be made.
After the reading Of the address the Re-
publicans called up the resolution offered
yesterday providing for the reading and
publishing Of the returns. This motion was
opposed by Democrats. who presented a
substitute resolution providing for a
thorough investigation before announcing
the result. Both resolutions were destroyed
at length and adjournment taken without
a vote OH either resolution.

DIFFERENCES ADJUSTED
New England Railroads Had q Falling
Out Over Difserentials..

New York January 10-For some time
past there has been friction in New Eng
land railroad matters regarding differen-
tials. These differences have resulted in
the withdrawal from the Boston freight
combine of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford and the New York & New
England roads. A conference was held
here today for the purpose of settling
the New England trou hles. The traffic
managers of nearly all the trunk lines
and of the New England lines were pres
ent. The general sentiment of the meet
ing showed strong tendency towards
harmony. The outlines Of an annicable
arrangement were agreed upon and the
task Of working up the details was re-
ferred to the Boston Freight Com bine
which will probably meet in Bcoston
within a few days.
Six New Enlgand lines originally COM
posed the Boston freight committee
the New York New Haven 4 Hartford,
New York & New England, Boston &
Albany, Boston & Maine, Central Yer.
mont and Fitehburg. The arrangements
reached today is calculated to reunite
this committee.

THAT BEER TAX.
Mr.. Wilson of the Ways and Means Com
mittee Deems 1t Unnecessary.


Washington, January 10.-The pro-
position to increase the tax on beer from
81 to So a barrel, introduced by Mr..
Money of Mississippi. and sent to the
ways and means committee, has not yet
been considered. Mr.. Wilson, the chair
man, believes no necessity exists for an
increase Of the tax, as the revenues of
the government will be greatly augu-
mented within the next few months
from customs receipts on sugar, which is
largely imported in the spring, aDd
from the income tax, all of which will
be collected by the 30th of June next.
There is marked indisposition on the
part of the committee to increase the
beer tax until the condition of the treas
ury makes such an increase necessity.
The ways and means committee of the
House will hold its first meeting to-
morrow. Several measures are now
before it, one of which is bill to abol-
ish the differential duty on sugar from
countries paying an export bounty.
which is causing German retaliation.

and his wife and daughter were in a
room on the top floor. The fire escape
could not be reached in time, and all
three had to slide down wire rope,
clad in their night clothes. The janitor' s
wife was sick, and slid part way down,
when she fell striking the telegraph
wires and finally lodging in blanket
held for her. She was terribly injured.
The loss is estimated at a million dol
