DR.. Williams pronounced these words in

voice to make 1t audible above the wheels

TO VACUATE PORT ARTHUR,
The Japanese Will Not Probably
Witt the Three Months

The purpose of Japan is to evacuate Port
Arthur and the Lao Tung peninsula by
February 16 next, which is three months
from the date Of the payment by China of
the 30OO0,00O taels agreed upon for the
evacuation. While three months is fixed as
the time within which the evacuation may
be made, it is probable that the japanese
will not take the limit of time, but will set
about retiring from Port Arthur immediate
ly on the payment of the 100000 taels
next Tuesday, as the cost of the mainten-
ance of an army thereqis very heavy. 1t is
understood, also,l that a further feature of
the treaty for the surrender of Port Arthur
is that it's evacuation by Japan will not be
followed by a cesson of the fortress to any
other power. An unofficial statement to
this effect has been made and is credited
here, but the Japanese legation has receiv-
ed no official adVices.
Late mail advices to the legation satisfy
the officials that the rebellion in Formosa
is over, and that the rebel leader has sur
rendered. He offered to make conditional
surrender some time ago, but the Japanese
would not give conditions to rebels. Since
then, the officials believe he has yielded I'M
conditionally, and the war, or rebellion, is
at an end.

RlPANS
TABULES.
Mr.. H. F. Barnes,
reporter for the Sunday
Herald, published at
Canton, Ohio, under date
of May 27, 1895, writes to
the Ripans Chemical
Company that he knows a
workingman who has been
benefited by Ripans
Tabules after a severe
attack of the Grippe, and
he appends the following
statement, with permission
to publish: Testimonial
of Thos. J. Meals of the city
of Canton, Stark county,,
Ohio: | had an attack of the
grippe four years ago this
spring that left me in a
bad way. My nervous
system was broken down
and my digestive
apparatus in a condition
that made me miserable
for days. While able to
work at my trade as
shearman in a rolling mill,
l suffered more or less all
the time with my stomach.
Bitters and tonics were
literally taken by the
gallon, and every variety
OF pills and potions that
promised relief. l
derived some benefit from
the use of some of them
if l continued taking them,
but if l quit a few days my
old trouble would return.
Noticing the advertisement
of the Ripans Tabules, for
impaired and bad digestion,
I concluded to invest in
few of them, which l am
pleased to inform you have
proven all or more than l
expected OF them. While
l have taken but a few
of them, they have done
me more good than all the
other remedies that I have
tried. They relieve the
belching and sour stomach
almost at once, and | feel
better in every way since
I commenced taking them.
The distressing headaches,
which l always had
preceding a fit of indigestion,
have entirely left me. l will
be glad to recommend the
Tabules to anybody
suffering from stomach
troubles. (Signed)

LIEUT.. PAGUE's CASE.
A Belief That His Sentence Was This
of Dismissal.

The case of Lieut.. S. S. Pague fifteenth
infantry, is now before Judge Advocate
General Lieber for review. This officer was
recently tried by court-martial at Fort
Sheridan for murderous assault on Col
Crofton, his superior officer. His defense
was mental responsibility due to dipso-
mania. The fact that the record of the
court has been received at the War Depart
ment for review is accepted by army officers
as a clear indication that the court found
him guilty of the charge and sentenced him
to be dismissed from the service. Such a
sentence to be effective requires the ap-
prevail of the President. Had the sentence Of
the court been anything less severe than
dismissal it might have been finally acted
upon by Gen. Merritt, the department COM
mander by whom the court was appointed.

THE YOSEMITE PARK.
Troops Have Been Withdrawn From
There.

There.
Capt. Alex. Rogers, of the fourth cavalry
who has been acting as superintendent Of
Yosemite Park, has sent word to Secretary
Smith that, in accordance with the Secre-
tarys notification and the orders of the
commander of the department of California,
he and his men were to leave the park No
vember &. and return to the Preside at San
Francisco. Capt. Rogers states that the
men have patrolled the boundaries of the
Iirk Systematically bnd have explored
much territory hitherto untraveled by man.
August Lieut.. Benson caught eight sheep
herders in a region where sheep have
been held for years. 1t is suggested that
next year the officer detailed to take charge
of the park be notified two months before it
is necessary for him to go to the Yosemite
SO that he may acquaint himself with his
duties, the character of the country and
send out early notifications to stock men
to keep away. With a strict control of the
park 1t is expected that in few years the
game will greatly increase, and the destruc-
ton of timber by extensive fires will be in a
measure repaired.
