doubtful If any of the witnesses to the

storm burst over this city and vicinity
this morning at s o'clock, deluging q

and sending score of human beings
into eternity.
The storm came from the southwest.
Great banks of dark, angry clouds how

Suddenly the clouds burst and the rain

Everything is washed out between
Sharpsburg and Dehaven, Dehaven

Residents are seeking safety on the

Spectator 9th My. J

May-day, which is recognised all over the
Continent as the Fete Of Labour, passed off
this year without disturbances anywhere ex-
cept in Vienna. Even there the rioting was
accidental, the populace resenting the action
of a restaurant keeper who, being hostile to
the anti -Semites, had ordered some Of that
party out. The police interfered to prevent
the sacking of the house, the mob fought the
police. aud on the soldiery being called in
some fifty persons were wounded, many Of
them severely. There is believed t. be more
savage discomfort in Vienna than in any great
city of the Continent. Its people have no
bnarrel with their Emperor, an are not
seeking alterations in the laws so much as an
Improvement in their condition, which in
certain branches Of labour is deplorable.
Wages are very low, hours are terribly long,
and the people, who are of m my nationalities,
have been taught to ascribe their sufferings
to the Jews, whom they detest as usurerS and
anti Christians. If the garrison were with
drawn for a month the Jews would be mas
sacred or expelled. and even as it is a Jew
on foot is in many streets unsafe. There are
MANY of the elements Of q Revolution in
Vienna, bnt, fortunately for Austria, the
popular excitements of the capital are ncces-
sarily local, and the weight of the Empire
always in the end paralyses its action.
Vienna is not the pivot of the eighteen States
Of which the great monarchy is composed, as
Paris is Of France.

The Government has ordered a force from
India to be sent to Suakin. 1t will consist of
the 35th Sikhs, the Goth Punjab Infantry, the
1st Bombay Lancers, the 5th Bombay Noun
tain Battery, and a company of Madras Sap
pers tn whole including about two thousand
five hundred men, Colonel Egerton, of the
Guides. Will command, and the staff, will
be unusually complete. The brigade, which
is already on it's way to Bombay. where trans
port has been prepared for it, will, it is stated,
garrison Suakin, whence the Egyptian garri-
son will be withdrawn for the Nile; but
it is obvious that it will be ready should q
movement be decided on to Berber, aud that
it can make everything ready for a much
larger force. There is little doubt that in
the end a c%onjoint movement from Wady
Halfa and from Suakin will be decided on
and it is most advisable that the two corps
should be kept distinct. TIL indians do
their work best when let alone to follow out
the plans which experience has taught them.
The question of pay has not yet been sattled,
but, az we have argusl else where, India
ought to pay the Indian wages and expenses
of the force, and either Great Britain or
Egypt all the extra charge.

prepared to swear that he looked like the

look like the Chief Justice. Mr.. Justice
Northcote made no remarks when he took his

The Times correspondent at C~onstantiro-
pie forwards q communication which. though
drawn up in cautious and courteous form, is
obviously intended to inform the world that
the Sultan's mind is seriously affected. The
assassination of the Shah threw him into a
fit of melancholy from which he has recover
ed to exhibit a j~oviality and devotion to tri-
fes quite foreign to his permanent character.
The rumour is the more striking because a
tendency to mental disease, from which the
House of Gilman was once singularly free.
has exhibited itself in it for the last two
generations. 1t is fostered by the unhealthy
habits of the family, the Sultans, who ought

There has been a small excitement this
week over the Russian action in the port Of
Chefoo, on the Gulf of Pecheli, the nearest
port to Pekin. 1t was at first declared thet
the Russians had seized an English "conces-
tion,' and compelled the Chinese to confirm
it to them, and then that they had obtained a

settlement. to the great disadvantage Of the
British, but still within the right of China to
grant. On Thursday, however, it was
explained that the scare was due to a mistake,
the Russian Steam Navigation Company
having only purchased i'll the ordinary way
Of business a piece of the fore shore of Chefoo
belonging TO Messrs. Ferguson, who have for
some time been Offering it for sale. The sale
may possibly interfere with The value Of grants
behind the foreshore, and a warming has
therefore been sent to Pekln, but there has
been neither any oppression Of the British
nor any appeal to the great squadron which,
as it was at fir t alleged, the Russians had
collected outside Chefoo to enforce their
demands. The incident is one more illuStra-
tion of the absurd suspiciousnesS with which
~aoection of our countrympn regard all Rus
sign action in Chinese waters, they believing
quite honestly we suppose, that Russia not
only seeks advantages in China. which is pro-
baby the case, but that she desires. out of
pure maliguity, to see1 those advantages at
the expense of British interests. The assump-
ton is c~ulously at Variance With the othet
and equally prevalent assumption that
Russian diplomacy is the cleverest in the
world, and invariably seeks out the point
where resistance is likely to be feeblest.
Clever traders seek profits without quar-
rels.
Archbishop Ireland, an American prclate
who is said to be an American of the Ameri.
cans, addressed the Loyal Legion a St. Paul
last Sunday, in favour of war, as against
arbitration. He does not agree with C3mdi-
mails Vaughan. Gibbons. and Lognr that it
is desirable to get a tribunal Of arbitration 10
settle disputes which might otherwise end in
war, for he thinks war an excellent thing for
its own sake because it is a great stimulant
to patriotism, and it appears that his address
was received by the Loyal Legion with the
utmost enthusiasm. Evidently our Lords
blessing on the p%eacemakers does not recon-
mend itself to Archbishop Ireland. or does he
thlnE that before you can get really blessed
peacemakers. you must first have unblsssed
wars? If there We're no wars, perhaps he
argues that there could he no peacemakers and
therefore he would provide the peacemakers
with some hard work to do in the form of
wars that would need bringing to IN end.

Mrs. Orcutt presented the suggestion
that some arrangement must be made
for the temporary placing and shelter
of children the society takes charge of
or rescues until they can be placed

ted. On this suggestion a committee,
consisting of the President Mrs. Beck

MUNYON'S
COLD
CURE.

Colds lead to coughs, coughs to Pneu-
monia and Consumption; therefore, it
is all important to check cold before
it reaches the lungs. Munyon's Cold
Cure Will positively break a cold inside
of twentyfour hours if taken as soon as
the cold manifests itself. When the cold
reaches the lungs or bronchial tubes the
Cough Cure, should be used alternately
every half hour with the Cold Cure.
The Cold Cure is guaranteed to prevent
pneumonia if used in the beginning of
a cold. Pneumonia, or Inflammation of
the lungs, can be controlled by the use
of these two cures.
The Cough Cure positively cures hron-
chitfs, tickling in the throat, hoarse-
ness, loss of voice. soreness of the chest,
difficulty in breathing, hacking cough
and all pulmonary diseases where the
lungs are not too far consumed by dis
ease or covered with tubercleS.
A separate cure for each disease. At
all druggists, mostly 25 cents a vial.
Personal letters to Prof Munyon, 1905
Arch street, Philadelphia, Pa, answered
with free medical advice for any disease.
