CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE fashionable
fat building, 595 La Sale avenue,
caught fire this afternoon and was
damaged $4,000. Augusta C%astorot,

CHINA ALARMED,

The Peace ENJOYS Ordered to Await
Fresh Credentials in Japan.
LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Times from Yokohama says that Chi
N has declared her intention to tele-
graph corrected credentials to her
peace ENJOYS to Japan who were in
structed by the emperor to remain at
Nagasaki for further instructions.
These ENJOYS were a few days ago
received by Count Ito, president of
the Japanese council of ministers,
who found from their credentials that
they were not clothed with plenary
power to conclude peace and there
fore refused to treat with them IN.
They started on their return to China,
but are nov waiting at Nagasaki
until they hear further from their
government. 1t is probable that the
peace negotiations will be renewed
IN March.

The Salvation Army Head Predicts Ca
t~astrophes to Close the Century.

TORONTO, Can, Feb. 9.-General
Booth Of the Salvation army said last
night, in reply to a question with re-
gard to the prophecy lately ennunci-
ated by him that the end of the
century would be signalized
by catastrophes, that the forecast
was one that would be made
by anyone who knew the
present social conditions through the
world. The great mass of people In
all countries had not only become
aware Of the fact that they had
wrongs which required redressing,
but were determined to have them
~redressed, and unless the various
governments instituted legislation
tending in that direction, there would
be a popular outburst which would
resemble in Its fury the French revo-
linton.

Japanese Capture All the Chinese Forts
at Wei Hal Wei.
LONDON, Feb. "a dispatch re-
ceived from Chez Foo this afternoon
says that the Japanese have carried
all the forts at Wei-Hai- Wei and have
captured or sunk the whole of the
Chinese Northern fleet.
Following up this splendid success,
the japanese completed the capture
of Wei-Hai-Wei by landing a large
force and selling the island of Liu
Kung Tao, which mad made a gallant
defense against heavy odds.
The reports of the destruction of
the Chinese navy have been confirmed
by the japanese commander at Wei
Hai-Wei. The official dispatch adds
that two steam launches succeeded in
escaping, but they we're chased by
Japanese vessels and were eventually
disabled near Chez Foo.
Philo Norton McGifin of Washing
ton, Pa, a member of Admiral Ting's
staff, was the commander of the Chen
9uen. He was wounded at the bat
tie Of the Ialu river, but subsequently
recovered and again took command
of his ship. He has a brother, Pro-
fessor Nathaniel McGiffin of the Poly
technic institute of Brooklyn, to
whom he had written several letters
that have been published giving
graphic details of the operations of
the Chinese fleet. He is a graduate
of Annapolis and entered the Chi
nese naval service in 1890. He was
known as a fearless, dashing young
man, fond of adventures. He became
a little nettled because some of his
associate officers secured ratings a
trife higher at examination, resigned
from the United States navy and en-
listed in the Chinese navy, which was
then commanded by an English Off
Ger, Admiral Lang. Rear Admiral
Erben was especially fond of the
young officer and is said to have been
greatly disappointed when he quit
the United States service, but pre-
dicted for him a brilliant future

its branches to deliver gold in re-

The Ghost Of a Chance.

Is a very shadowy affair. Ere the
chance of recovery becomes a van
ishing ghost, take a most potent
means of overcoming the inactivl-
ty of the organs that terminates in
their too frequently fatal disease,
by resorting to Hostetter's Stom-
ache Bitters, which gives just the
requisite impulse to the renal or
gans to promote their vigorous ac-
tion without exciting them, an
effect too often produced by the
fiery and unmedicated stimulents
of commerce. Bright's disease,
diabetes and inactivity of the bIad-
der, are foes Of terrible menace to
the system. The inroads may, how
ever, be stayed if they are met at
the start and combatted with the
Bitters. This fine and genial cor
rective also remedies malaria, dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, debility, ner-
vousness and the indrmities incident
to age. 1t hastens convalescence,
and is promotive Of sleep and appe-
tite.

estimate Of the value of our domes-

qnantitative theory, exchanges de.
manding the employment of $780,
500, 100000 of tools, which is more
than twenty times the sum of
government and bank coin and cur
rency in circulation. To sum up
this part of the argument, we have
never had a coined dollar for every
outstanding paper representative
Of dollar, and we never shall have.
We have never had a dollar in cur
rency for every dollar involved in
exchanges, and we do not need any
such amount of money, any more
than a farmer needs ten 40 bushel
wagons because he has to deliver
400 bushels Of wheat. The quanti-
tY of money needed is best settled
by the demand for it.
Exchanges between those who
produce and those who desire their
products have never been, and nev-
er will be, checked by lack of legal
tender currency. In the simple
community which have imagined
exchanges were facilitated by the
use of the store keepers orders,
Whenever food, fuel and clothes ex-
ist and there is a demand for them,
there will be exchange or trade.
Men will obtain what they want and
people who say that trade is stop
ped because there is not enough
coined money to pay for all that is
needed are talking nonsense. In
1893 there was a currency famine
that is, the money and currency
Of the country were not available
for trade, Moreover, exchanges
we're checked because demand was
pretty generally satisfied. Men
were able to wait until doubt and
uncertainty should cease, and there
should be a return of general con-
tidence, without which commerce is
impossible. But the Cnwillingness
OF bankers To lend money was met
by the invention of devices to take
the place of the regular and hoard
ed currency of the country. Cities
banks and private corporations. and
firms invented new forms Of cur
rency, and exchanges in the necess-
aries of life went on with the aid Of
these improvised tools, The coun-
try did not need more money, but
it did need the removal of a certain
fear which kept people from desiring
to risk investment Of their cash,
and therefore left the cash locked
up and out Of circulation That
fear was that our money was to be
debased, and that our standard of
value was to cease to be that which
prevailed in the rest of the civilized
world, - [Harper's Weekly,

the question under consideration until

since Mr.. Grcsham's illness, and was
going over with them with the presi-

president thereupon requested him to
stay and read the documents to the
