Mr.. James S. Harrison, a welI-knovn

his weakened condition, resulting from
the above causes, he had the additional

My system was also full of Malaria

Mr.. Block Of the Herald Square theater,
New York. denies emphatically that Mr..
Bryan ever applied to him for a position
as press agent, or that he ever told any
body he received such an application from
Mr.. Bryan. This seems to deposit Lesiie's

rison's story. that Mr.. Bryan played IN

worthy Of attention. Harrison used to be

NAVAL APPROPR|AT TONS,
Amendments Made to the Bill
by the Senate Com.
mittee.
Not More Than Two Battle.Ships or
Three Torpedo.Boats to Be Built
at One Yard.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 9.-The
naval appropriation bill for the coming
fiscal year was reported to the Senate to-
day. The tour seagoing batte-ships, au-
thorzed in the House bill, are left un-
touched. Amendments have been made,
however, in the provisions for torpedo
boats. Instead Of FIVE capable of attain
ing speed of twenty-six knots, as pro-
vided by the House, the Senate has sub
stituted three torpedo-boats which will in
reality be torpedo catchers with a
maximum speed OF not less than thirty
knots an hour. In place of ten or more
torpedo-boats, to cost not exceeding $780,
OOO and to have the highest practica BILE
speed for vessels Of their class, the Senate
has substituted a provision for ''not to
exceed ten torpedo-boats to cost in all not
exceeding $500, 600 and to have the highest
practicable speed for vessels of their class"
proviso is also inserted as follows:
"And not more than two of said battle
ships and not more than three of said
torpedo-boats shall be built in one yard or
by one contracting party, and in each case
the contract shall be awarded by the
Secretary of the Navy to the lowest
responsible bidder"
The House proviso requiring one of the
battle-ships to be built on the Pacific
Coast is restricted by a provision that in
order to do so it must be constructed at an
additional cost not exceeding per cent of
the lowest bid for the other three battle
ships authorized. The time within which
the contracts for these vessels shall be
made is extended from ninety to 12O days
from the passage of the act.
The bill as reported by the committee
carries total reduction of s432,958 and a
total increase of $65, 200, making net re-
duction of $367,757 The estimates for 1897
were $29,313, l76 and the House appro-
priated $31 ,674, 239, which was reduced by
the Senate to S31. .279 49,

MISS EFFIE PERRIN OF SALINAS.
SALINAS, Monterey County, Cal.

SALINAS, Monterey County. Cal.
l have never met a more enthusiastic
class of people than did in Salinas and
in fact all through Monterey County.
One of the most pleasing gentlemen with
whom talked is Mr.. George Perrini. He
told me that he had heard of many re-
markable cures that had been effected by
the use of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla,
and that he had occasion to prove this to-
his own advantage.
Some time ago his little daughte ter, Effie
PERRIN, was covered with small sores. A
bottle OF joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla was
bought and very moderate doses were
given to the little girl Before the entire
bottle was exhausted all the sores had dis
appeared and Effie got better. She con-
tinued to improve until she is now a per-
fectly healthy child. He told me that he
had recommended joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilia to many people and that every one
was now praising the native remedy.

SENATOR MORGAN VERY Ill.
His Death Would Be a Severe Blow to Those
Who Are Fighting the Refunding
Cchomo

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 9.-Senator
Morgan is critically i'll. and it is doubtful
whether he can live. He realizes the seri-
BUSINESS of his condition. and has made all
preparations in anticipation of his death.
While in conversation with Californians,
Senator Morgan impaired to them the
grave fears he entertained that he would
never be we'll again.
This will be a severe blow to California,
and all those who have relied upon Nor
gan's splendid ability to combat the re-
funding bill in the Senate. He and Rep
resentative Mcguire had decided to pre-
pare bill on the lines of his resolution
leaving the Pacific roads debt question to
be adjudicated by the courts.
Whether Morgan recovers or not, it is
not probable that he will be a BILE to resume
his seat in the Senate for many weeks. If
there appears. to be reasonable probability
of his attending to his public duties at this
session, his friends will ask that considera-
ton Of Pacific roads legislation in the
Senate be postponed until he can partici-
pate in the debate.
This request is one that could hardly be
refused, SO unless Senator Morgan shall
die his illness may be the means of post
poning the matter until the next session
of Congress-

TO MOB FITzSIMMONS,
BackerS of Peter Maher Put Up
a Peculiar Plot at
Plttsburg.
Friends Of the Australian Summoned
Police Protection and Evadei
Trouble.

PITTSBCRG, Pa, April 9.-For time
last night there was much excitement in
sporting circles. Rumor, apparently well
founded, has it that friends of James
Quinn and Mike Connolly, the hackers of
Peter Maher, had put up job to mob Bob
fitzsimmons as he was leaving the Acade-
my of Music, on Liberty street, after the
entertainment. Friends of Fitzsim mons,
hearing of the matter, summoned police
protection. Fitzsimmons was taken out
at private exit by his friends and knew
nothing OF mis- danger until this morning.
He is at loss TO understand why Maher's
friends should desire to do him personal
injury.
FitZsimmons said to-day that he had
always been a friend of Maher, and was
willing to bet $4,000 that Maber could
whip Corbett or any other pugilist in the
world except himself Fitzsimmons said: :
after two months rest | will be willing
TO fight any eavy-weight in the world
except Corbett. Corbett must first van
quish Maher before 1 recognize him"
FitZsimmons also said that he is ready
TO fight any two middle weights in the
world at $50 pounds in one night. He also
agrees to train down to $50 pounds.

ADHESION OF TERRITORIES.
Hadtey Presents a Favorable Report o
the ArixOau Bill,

Hadtey Presents a Favorable Report on
the Arizona Bill.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 9.-When
the bill admitting New Mexico was taken
up in the House to-day Owens of Ken
lucky offered an amendment postponing
tue election OF the State Legislature until
1898, the purpose being to delay the cleo
tion of United States Senator to subse-
quent period, but this was rejected, as was
also an amendment offered by Taft of
Ohio to report the bill to the House with
out recomme endation.
Hadley prevented favorable report on
the Arizona bill. He stated that his ac-
tion in voting to admit Territories would
be based on the ratio of population, and
as Arizona did not have, in his pinion,
the number of inhabitants required for
statehood, he would be compelled to vote
against it. Under these circumstances
Murphy, the delegate from Arizona,
deemed it advisable not to press the matter
further at to-day's meeting, and upon mo-
ton of Catron, the delegate from New
Mexico, the Arizona bill was laid aside
and the New Mexico bill taken up. On
this bill the committee divided on the lines
given above, but it was carried by vote
of six to four, those voting in the negative
being Taft, Owens, Knox and Low.

FACANCLES IN THE NAVY.
There Are Plenty of Places for the Cadet.
to TfU.

NEW YORK, N. Y. April "a Times
Washington special says: The slx-year
men from the Naval Academy will get
places this year. The probability is that
there will be more places than men to fill
them. For several years it has been
necessary under the law to dismiss a
number of graduates with a years pay
because there was no room for them. The
vacancies are not caused by an unusual
number of deaths or designations, but by
the retirement of young officers for dis
ability. There are now nineteen vacancies
in the line, twenty-five in the engineer
corps and one in the marine corps
The class about to graduate numbers
thirty-three. A percentage will probably
fall, outit is believed that there will be at
least thirty graduates for from forty-five to
forty-seven vacancies. After the qualified
members of the graduating class have been
provided, the vacancies not filled will
remain open to be filled next year.
Already it is apparent that the quota for
the engineers will not be filled, and
Engineer Melville, who has been very
soicitous about the prospect of main
tainlng the efficiency of the corps OF which
he is the head. is of the opinion that the
number of cadets should be admitted from
some of the technical schools.

BY ANDRADE,
The Venezuelan Minister L
Gathering Some Importan
Documents.
Thoue ands of Pages of Matter Bearing
on the Dispute Will Be
Translated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 9-Mal-
lette-Prevost has had a conference at the
Venezuelan legation with Minister An
drade relative to the translation and print
ing of the documents recently received by
Mr.. Andrade on the subject of the bound
airy dispute between Venezuela and Brit
ish Guiana. Owing to the fact that it has
not yet been possible to make and print
translations of these documents they have
not been formally presented to the COM
mission. 1t is the intention of Mr.. An
drade to submit both the ori inal docu-
ments and the printed translations as
soon as they can be prepared.
The following will serve to give some
idea regarding the extent and Importance
of these documents. They are contained
in three large folio volumes and comprise
from 1000 to 1900 closely written pages.
Most of them are in the form of certified
copies of original manuscripts on file in
the archives at Seville, Simancas and
Madrid. Many documents cited and
quoted by the British Government in the
bluebook recently presented to Parlia.
ment are in that book given only in the
form of extracts.
Some of the documents now in the
hands Of Mr.. Andrade are complete copies
OF these same papers, and will therefore
enable the commission to form a much
more accurate idea with regard to their
exact meaning and value. In some cases
the extracts given i'll the bluebook are
exceedingly meager; as for instance, in the
case of the report sent by the Governor of
Cumana, Don Jose Diguja, on Decem Der
Is, 1853. The extracts from this report
are given in the bluebook and cover two
and half pages. The original report, a
certified copy of which is now at the Vene-
zuelan legation, contains nearly 400 pages.
The translation of these documents will
necessarily occupy some weeks, as the
Interpretation of the technical language
used for legal documents in the sixtee nth,
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in
which they are couched, requires more
Than ordinary skill and care.
In addition to the three quarto volumes
mentioned. Mr.. Andrade states that in the
course of two or three weeks he expects to
receive from the Venezuelan legations at
The Hague, Rome and Madrid copies of
further documents, which agents of his
Government have been engaged in collect
ing.

even when jury masts were rigged it con-
tinued impossible to steer hopeful course
on account of battling winds. Provisions

ber, had to subsist upon the cargo of evil

The Formosan Budget for 1s96-97 has
been submitted to the Diet by the Japanese
Government. The revenue is six and a
half million yen, approximately; the ex-
pendlture, ordinary and extraordinary,
aggregates ten and three-quarter millions,
of which four and half millions are for
works of improvement. Some time must
elapse before Formosa ceases to be a source
OF expense to Japan.
The scheme of military reorganization
in japan is now published. The army is
TO be virtually doubled, the number of
divisions being raised from six to twelve
exclusive of the Imperial Guards.
The Peking Gazette of December 10 con-
tains an imperial decree EN- mbodying re-
port furnished by Tung Fu-hsiang, com
mander-in-chief of the forces employed
against the Mohammedan rebels in Kansu.
1t is not always safe to place implicit
reliance in reports of their own doings
compiled by Chinese generals, but at pres
ent we have no means of verifying or con-
tradicting lungs story. Its gist is that
in campaign lasting twenty days, Tung's
army fought six sanguinary battles and
executed series of brilliant maneuvers,
ending in the relief of the provincial cap
ital and the complete route of the in
surgents beleaguering it. One feature of
the operation was the capture of the rebel
chief Ma Shih- jun and his decapitation
before the walls of a stronghold from
which he had sailed to repulse the I'M
perial troops.
To General Tung belongs the credit of
device for keeping his men quiet during a
night march planned to surprise the
enemy. He made every soldier hold
pebble in his mouth throughout the move
ment How the thing was managed there
are unfortunately no details, but presuma-
bly, the braves consciences revolted against
the mechanical crime of splitting out the
pebble. The desperate fights, the valor-
Gus storming of fortresses, the rapid
tactics, the mastery strategy of this
twenty days campaign constitute a curl
Gus marginal commentary to the war with
Japan.
Anti-foreign feeling is beginning to show
itself again in Cheng-tu. Violently word
ed placards are posted on the walls of the
city. and petty acts of hostility against
the Canadian mission are once more re-
corded.
