People often wonder why their nerves are
so weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
Palpitation Of tho Heart.
The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which IS contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead OF the elements OF strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate aud

The Tribuna fears that the proposals
conceal snare and asserts that Menelik
is simply seeking to gain time.
The Fanfulla, the clerical organ, learns
that the negotiations for peace are on the

The Riforma yehemently opposes a
peace. Most of the other papers, how
ever, favor the conclusion of peace.
The alleged Italian reverse at Sabdebal,
which was aggravated by news agency
into another disaster, seems to have been
merely the defeat of local tribe friendly
to the Italians. A hundred Italian
troops returning from Ell Dai reinforced
the tribe and afterwards kept the route
open to Cassala.

SENSATIONAL ACCUSATIONS.
German Reichstag Enlivened by a Scan
dalous Story About DR.. Peters.

| London, March 13.-A dispatch from
Berlin to the Times describes a stormy
scene in the reichstag. 1t arose through
Herr Babel, one of the socialistic lead
ers, accusing DR.. Peters, the African eX-
| plorer while he was imperial commits
sioner to Africa in 1890, of causing a
negro and negress to be hanged without
trial because they had taken fancy to
each other of which DR.. Peters, being in
innate with the negress, disapproved.
The German officer refused to execute
the sentence. Nevertheless the sentence
was executed.
DIR. Peters proclaimed officially that
the negroes were hanged as spies. After
that the English bishop, Tucker, declined
to receive DR.. Peters, saying that he
would have nothing to do with murder
or.
DR.. Peters thereupon wrote to Bishop
Tucker, cOntending that he was to be
married to the negress according to the
African custom, and therefore had
right to put her to death for adultery.
DR.. Kayser, director of the colonial
department, in replying to Herr Babel,
expressed doubts whether African travel
lers should be judged according to Euro
pean standards.
He tried to mollify the house and al
though he showed that the negroes were
guilty of theft and other offenses and
DIR. Peters could not be incriminated, he
failed to satisfy the house.
DIR. Kayser then said further that the
government deplored the facts, but it
was difficult to pass judment in such
cases.
1t had been intended to place Dr.
Peters at Tanaanyk, believing that such
incidents could not occur under Wiss-
man. But il was discovered that DR..
Peters was so unpopular that he was not
appointed.
DR.. Kayser's speech met with frank
and shouts of murderer"
'robber." "scandal6us," etc.
The News has dispatch from Berlin
which says that the officer who refused
to carry out DR.. 1 eters' sentence upon
the negroes was Lieutenant Bronsaart
Won Schelendorf, who declared that it
was simply murder.

TRANSVAAL TALK.

London, March 13.-A Pretoria dis
patch to the Times says:
Mr.. Chamberlain, in an important dis
patch, suggested to President Kruger
the possibility of abrOgating the conven-
ton of London if the Transvaal redresses
Uitlander grievances and grants the fran
chise to British subjects. The dispatch
also suggests n treaty of amity by which
England shall guarantee the independ-
ence of the Transvaal. President Krueg-
err has minated that he will reply to this
in three days time. Preparations are
afoot for President Krueger's journey to
England.

London, March 13.-Sir Richard Web
ster, the attorney general, replying in the
house of commons to the criticisms upon
alleged discrepancies in the Venezuelan
blue book, said That the reason all the

dix was that some of the documents were
not printed. He added that all of the
quotations would be found in the original
documents, of which second collection
will shortly be published. Continuing,
Sir Richard Webster said that the only
case of Il mistake was in Il quotation on
page D, on which is note giving general
import matter which was inadvertently
included in the teXtual quotation.

tional reports circulated by news agency
