Constantinople. Dec. 12.-The long

ambassadors of the powers and the
sultan owe the question of admission
of additional guard ships for the pro-

to-day by the issuance of al trade

 "You take ze lectle rope and you put ze leetle pipe-stem in ze ear," said the French master, as he beclzoned me with long bony finger toward a black box concern that much resembled the bier made for holding baby coffins.

 The professors manner now grew so authoritative, his black eyes so fiery and his mustache 30 uneasy that not to obey was impossible. I grasped the tube, put it to my ear and looked at the professor for further orders. His excitement grew, and bouncing off few steps and rubbing his hands with delight he beamed upon me with sud- den good nature.
 "You hear nussing?" I shook my head, thinking at the time twill ever get out of this and report his case to the insane asylum authorities" You wait one leetle moment" He tip toed around the mysterious box, un- tangled the tube and thrust another lear piece into my ear with a vigor that threatened the safety of the drum.

TO USE THE KNIFE

And Submit to Painful Operation-Thls
the Doctors Advised as the Only Hope
the Case Being q Critical One-The Hap
by Termination OF q Deep-ROOted Preju-
dice.
Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, Of Hartville, Mo-,
had an interesting experience with the doc
tors recently, and was on the verge OF q
painful surgical operation. He writes: 81
hereby add my unqualified endorsement OF
your excellent remedy, S. s. S. For six
years have been sufferer from scrofu-
lous affection OF the, glands of my neck, and
all efforts of physicians in Washington,
D. c., Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed
to reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here my physi-
clan urged me to submit to removal of the
gland. At this critical moment a friend
recommended S. S. S., and laying aside a
deep-rooted prejudice against all patent
medicines, I began its use. Before had
used one bottle the enlargement began to
disappear, and now it is entirely gone, and
1 am almost cured. / am not through with
my second bottle yet. Had i only used your
s. S. S. years ago, I could have escaped
years of misery and saved over $50. If
this endorsement will serve you in any way,
use it."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The
doctors can do no good, and even their re-
sorts to the knife prove either fruitless or
fatal. s. S. S. is the only real blood rem
edy. It gets at the root of the disease, and
forces it out permanently.

An Interesting Aggregate of Figures on
the Expense of Poor Lo.
WASHINGTON, July In the COM
plete Indian census report, just pub
lished, an interesting attempt is made
for the first time to cast up in figures
an aggrega tie of the government ex
penditureS on account of the red men
residing within the United States since
the union was esta blished in 1889. The
result of this remarkable attempt in
dictates in the statistics presented that
the gigantic sum of $1,1O5, 219,, 372
was spent by the government up to
the year 1890, either upon the Indians
dire city or indirectly because of In
dians. Counting in, however, the civil
and military expenses for Indians
since then, together with incidental
expenses not recognized in the official
figures given, it is safe to say that up
to June so, 1895, further sum of $144,-
$50, 62S may be added to the aggregate
figures, making a grand aggregate of
81, $50, 900. 600 chargeable to Indians to
date.
The Indian wars under the govern
ment of the United States are stated
to have numbered more than forty and
to have cost the lives of about 10, 600
white men. women and children, in
Guiding about 5000 killed in individual
encounters. of which history takes no
note, and of 10000 Indians, including

American Yachtsmen Imprisoned by Span.
iards in Cuba.
New ORLEANS. June 29.-Ex-CommO-
dore w. A. Gordon, of the Southern
Yacht club, has received a cable dis
patch from attorneys in Havana stat
ing that the yacht Nepenthe has been
seized by the Spanish authorities and
that her owners, George Agar and
Bishop Dudley, have been imprisoned.
Both of these men are prominent in
social and business circles of this city,
being members of the cotton and sugar
exchanges. The Nepenthe left here a
few weeks ago on a cruise along the
Florida coast, and then sailed across
to Cuba. It is said that the yacht was
overhauled by Spanish gunboat and
lowed into Havana.
Although the cable is very brief, it is
supposed from its tenor that the yacht
was suspected of carrying q flibuster-
ing expedition. There are several
others in the party besides the two
owners, but it is not known whether
they were all placed in confinement.
The seizure of the yacht and imprison-
ment of her owners created great ex-
element when the fact became known
and steps were at once taken to lay
the matter before Secretary Olney.

BUSINESS GROWS BETTER.
Dun's Trade Review for the Week Shows
Increased Activity.

Dun9 Trade REVIEW Tor the week SHOWS
Increased Activity.
NEW YORK, June 90 r. G.. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says:
Business is better, although the crop
outlook affecting prospects beyond the
near future, is a little less distinct.
There is more ground for doubt about
winter wheat and cotton than a week
ago, and threshing receipts are COM
paratively low. though the prospects
for spring wheat are exceedingly good.
The price, Il cent lower for the week,
is beyond mistake too low, if the latest
impressions of injury to winter wheat
are correct. Receipts for the week are
relatively small. but for the four weeks
they have been 5, 166, Ala bushels against
5,794, 528 bushels last year, while At
lantic exports, -four included, have
been for four weeks 4,912, 729 bushels
against Z, 444, OO9 bushels last year.
Corn has declined a fraction and
pork is steady. Cotton has fallen $40
to cents, in spite of reports of serious
injury by rains in Texas and Louisi-
ana. A light buying by northern
spinners surprises the market, for
their takings have been more than
enough for the years consumption,
and returns show great decrease in
exports of cotton goods.
Speculation has even spread to the
wool market and with an advance of
about 1 cent in prices. The sales have
been the largest ever known for any
weeks. OH, 900 pounds, against $685.
600 in 1892. In four weeks of June sales

they were 10. $40, $50 domestic and TO-
427, 500 foreign. A growing belief
that the domestic clip is short and
an idea that the coming London sales,
beginning July 2, will show higher
prices have been more potent than a
little increase in the manufacturing
demand, and the price has risen at all
markets. Light weights and mixed
goods hesitate and some are lower
than year ago, but since the Wash

at a slight advance. Other medium
and better grades have been stronger

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 1.-The
third day of the great international

with sunrise prayer meeting on the
brow of Lookout mountain, which was
more of success than the one Satur-

fervor was at the highest pitch.
The morning was given to the
consideration of Methodist hymnology
and the best religious training
for the youth of the church. The after
noon was given to the discussion of
the spiritual side of church work.
Bishop Galloway, of the Southern

States Circuit Judge Ross Saturday
rendered his decision on the demurrer
of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford against the
suit of the government to recover S15,-
900, 600 from the estate of her late hus-
band, Leland Stanford. The de-
murrer was sustained. Judge Ross
allowed the government to amend
it's former complaint and reargue
its case if it so desires. It was
intimated, however, that this step
would not affect the case, the law as
construed by Judge Ross not favoring
the case of the United States. Many
more millions were involved in the
suit, which was made a test case
against the Central Pacific magnates,
but the chief interest fore the public
has been in the effect of the suit on
the great university established by the
senator in memory of his dead son.

STOLE PASSPORT FEES.
How the State Department. Messenger Sc

How the State Department Messenger Sc
cured Spending Money.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-For some
time the head of the passport bureau
of the state department has been mys-
tilted by receiving demands from per-
sons in various towns ann cities for a
prompt reply to their applications for
passports or the return of the money
sent to the department. In each case
investigation failed to show that any
such applications have been received.
It was apparent that stealing was
done somewhere, and after close
watching Kirk McMurtrie, messenger
boy, whose duty it was to get the mail
and carry it to the passport bureau,
was suspected. 1t was found he had
been indulging in lavish expendi-
lures and generally had money to
spend. The amount lost is not yet
known, but it is certain to be well up
into the hundreds of dollars from the
number of complaints received. It is
said that on last Saturday eighteen
letters, each inclosing 81, were alb
stracted. McMurtrie has been dis
