Prominent among the New England
men whose brains and energy have
helped to make the Western States rich
and powerful is General David L. Beals,
president of the Union National bank of
Kansas City. Successful in his many en-
terprises, he lives to lay in fine mansion
at the corner of Independence and Wa
bash avenues.
The work and the responsibility incum-
bent on the president of so important Il
banking institution as the Union Nation
nj would endanger the sturdiest health,
General Beals' observation-disclosures and good
sense were as manifest in the choice of a
remedy as in his business enterprises. He
strengthened his tired nervous system by
the use of Paine's celery compound. Its
invigorating health-giving effects justi-
fed his expectations, and showed in his
own case the remarkable power of this
much-discussed remedy for thoroughly
restoring and strengthening the run
down" system.
Il found Paine's celery compound an
agreeable tonic and soothing to the
nerves." says General Beals.
These are the concise words of COM
mendation chara cteristic of the conserva-
tive business man and the influential
banker, who has learned to weigh well
his words.
The scanty sunlight and the stagnant,
used-up air of living rooms during the
winter reduces the strength and nervous
energy, especially of persons employed

OFFICIAL DECLAIMER.

Washington, March 24.-The Spanish
government has officially disclaimed re-
sponsibility for the fiery views expressed
in the columns of the Madrid newspaper,
Ell Epoca. The article which called for
the disclaimer was one demanding that
the United States cease talking about
the Cuban instruction or else declare
war at once upon Spain, and the govern
ment felt that it might be harmful be-
cause it was intimated that the article
was inspired by it. The disclaimer APP
pears in all of the publicity attending the
original publication in the Spanish Or
gan Ell Nacional.
Cuban reverses that may harm the in
surgent cause more in moral effect than
in tangible way, have been sustained in
Sancti Spiritus province, where. accord
ing to cablegram received at the Span
ish legation today, the Spanish forces
have captured all of the archives of the
insurgent government.

POPULARITY OF DJAZ


City of Mexico, March pa meeting
of prominent citizens was held today at
the National club and an organization to
work for the reelection of President
Diaz was formed which will Immediately
establish the branch political societies
pledged for that purpose throughout the
entire country. There was great en-
thusiasm manifested. Merchants will
take similar action and manufacturers
will exert their influence to the same end.
An era of political good feeling has set in,
for among the most cordial advocates for
the reelection of the president are prom
inent Conservatives and eX-lmperialsts.
President Diaz has pursued a concilia-
tory policy of appointing to high offices
many of his former political opponents
and making the test office holding fitness
rather than political opinions. His re-
form work in the postotfice department is
entirely on the civil service lines and no
mans political opinions are made a rea-
son for refusing him place if competent.
The telegraph service has been absolute
ly non-political. The program adopted
by the president is to reunite all Mexicans
in participating in the work of the gov
eminent on broad lines, allowing no
prejudices to operate against any fit man
if he can do the country good service.
This explains why popular sentiment is
stronger than ever in favor of his re-elec-
ton. Several statesmen who had been
put forward as candidates by small
groups have declined to be considered as

MARBLE FALLS MENTION.

Marble Falls, Tex, March 22-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The past week has been dull in a
business way, but socially we have had
Il good time.
The principle event, not previously re-
ported, was the ball and supper on Fri

REPORT NOT BELIEVED.

Washington, March 24.-While per-
sons at the British embassy directly con-
Gerned in the report that Sir Julian
Iauncefote will go to London to discuss
the Venezuelan question with tho officials
of the foreign Office decline to talk on the
subject it is believed here that the report
is not well founded. The sole reason that
could be adduced for the recall of

IS that his familiarity with the earlier
phases of the controversy, arising from
ms treatment of the subject while in tho
foreign office, might make his advice val
liable in the preparation of the historical
case cas- 1T Is not perceived, however, why

to Italy of the German emperor. 1t
has been generally expected that when
he met King Humbert, that Emperor
Francis Joseph would be the guest of
the king of Italy at the same time. 1t
is assumed in all public discussion of the
visit that the subject of the discussion
between the three emperors will be the
relations of the three countries of the
dreibund. The result of the recent visit
of Count Goluchowsky to Germany was
all in favor of the maintenance of the
dreibund. The work begun there, it
is expected, will be completed during
Emperor Williams stay, though it is
freely surmised that the German EN-
peror desires some modification in the
triple bonds which will leave him freer
to place Germany in accord with Russia

The illustrious pair were received here
and hospitality. The streets were
thronged with great crowds of people,
all eager to catch a glimpse of the Ger
man royalties and all cheering to give
them welcome. The town is gay with
bunting and flags are flying on all sides.
The Duke of Genoa, brother of Queen
Margherita, was entrusted with the duty
of welcoming the visiting sovereigns and
he met them at the depot.
AS a part of the ceremony of welcome,
the duke then presented the municipal
authorities of Genoa to the imperial pair,
who listened to the addresses presented
to them and then proceeded to the de-
barking quay, the Duke of Genoa es-
corting the empress and Emperor Will
liam following with his two sons. The
duke babe farewell to the party as they
proceeded on board the imperial yacht
HOhenzollern, which was in waiting.
The imperial yacht was proceeded by
steamer burning Bengal lights and
with a band playing the German Ma
tional anthem.
Thus speeded on their journey, the
emperor and empress of Germany sailed
away for Naples.

DIR. JAMESON ON TRIAL.

London, March 24.-The trial of DR.. l..
s. Jameson and his fellow prisoners,
charged with violating the foreign enlist
ment in making Il raid into the territory
of the South African republic, was re-
sumed ut the Bow street police court this
morning. Although there was full at
tendance there was less excitement.
Seated on the bench We're the Duke of
Aberdeen, chairman of the British Char
tered South African company; Lord and
Lady Monkswell, Lord and Lady Deer
hurst, Ladies Foley, Annaly, Finlay,
Kinnaird Butler, Ribblesdale and Bruce;
Admiral Field and Mrs. A. Paget.
There was no sign of Il demonstration
when the prisoners were ushered into
court.
Sergeant White of the Bechuanaland
police testified to having refused to join
DR.. Jameson's expedition and added that
Colonel Grey questioned troopers prior
to starting and informed them that they
were not going to fight for the queen, but
for the supremacy of the British in
South Africa. The sergeant also testi-
fled that Commissioner Newton had dis
patched him from Mafeking on Deem
Der 80 in pursuit of DR.. Jamesons col
umn, telling him to catch the latter at
any cost. When the witness caught up
with the column he handed his dispatches
TO tOlOncl trey, VINO ordered him to give
them to Sir Willoughby. who, in turn. told
Sergeant White to give them to DIR. Jane
son. The latter, however, sent him back
to Sir John Willoughby, who finally dis
tributed them.
Replying to Il question on that subject
Sergeant White testified that he did not
see any of the dispatches given to DR..
Jameson. According to White Sir John
Willoughby said:
Tell your commander that the dis
patches have been received and will be
attended to-"

Bower, clerk in the Office of General
Jouhert. the commander-in-chief of the
forces of the South African republic, de-
posed to having delivered the message of
Sir j. A. Dewitt, the British agent at
Pretoria, to the commanders of the Jane
son expedition and he stated that the re-
ply to it, which was read in court, stated
that the supplies of the column were ex-
hausted and that it must proceed to Kru-
geursdorp or Johannesburg.

BAYARD' SUBTLE REMARKS.
SIGNIFICANT SPEECH MADE IN
LONDON BY THE AMERICAN
AMBASSADOR.
THE CENSURE AFFECTS HIM NOT.
'There is Nothing That | Would Say
at Home That / Would not Say
Herc."-Does not Expect
Unanimity.

London, March 24.-Sir Walter Henry
Wilkins, the lord mayor of London, pre-
sided at the banquet of the City of Lon
don Prison society tonight.
Lord DENLY, Sir William Young, Judge
Meadows White and Sir j. b. Moncton
were among the guests.
The United States Ambassador, Mr..
Bayard in responding to the toast, "Kith
and Kin Beyond the Seas" made sig
nificant speech in which he said:
"Your kindred beyond the seas are as
like as two peas to those of Great Britain.
The two peas are patriotism and pluck"
Then. after reference to the charita-
BILE disposition of the race throughout the
world, Mr.. Bayard said:
"Your kindred beyond the seas are not
always unanimous. Nevertheless there
is one voice that appeals to them all.
Since | came to England l have never
found occasion to change my tone. There
is nothing l would say at home that
would not say here, and there is moth
ing that | say here that l would
not say Mt home. l do not expect una
nimity. L would almost say God forbid.
But do not expect us to speak in a tone
to suit everybody, for in the system of
government originated here and carried
beyond the Atlantic there is something
that enables man to speak according to
his own conscience.
There, indeed, is the strength of this
country and the strength of my own.
When the time shall come that a man
shall not dare to speak the thoughts with
in him for the public good, God help the
country.
"Tennyson said: Whether bound by
friends or foes man may speak the thing
he will; and / believe the echo of those
words is as strong in the country of my
birth and where my best hopes lie as in
yours.
Here lies that which shall keep both
countries moving onward and upward,
the cause of civilization. We will never
suppress the truth for fear of evil conse
quences, but will tell it whether we live
or whether we have to die" (Cheers.)

AN INSUI,T TO ITALY.

Rome, March 24.-The chamber today
took up the question of credit for Africa
and during the debate number of speak
ers declared that it would not accept a
peace after the battle of Adowa.
The Marquis Begrotto said he was con-
fident that the king would never sign a
peace that was contrary to the honor of
the country.
The Marquis di Rudini, the premier,
replied on behalf of the government. de-
nying that the negus of Abyssinia had de-
manded an indemnity of S10,000000.
The statement, he added, was an insult
TO Italy. The subversive parties in Italy
had come into prominence lately, the pre-
mier said, but the government was de
termined to defend the monarchy. The
debate was thereupon adjourned.

of the murder of Christians in the islands
of Crete and the existence of panic
there, owing to the belief prevailing
among the Cretans that the Turkish
troops are waiting for the Christians
to rctaliate for outrages, when they will
massacre of the Christians under the
leadership of the military governor. On
this account the deputies have invoked
the protection of Greece
