WHIPPED TIE BRITISH.
Yankee Tars from the Petrol
Wipe Up Shanghai With
Her Majesty's Sailors.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 8, 1894
morning paper says
Fighting with champagne bottles as a
beginner and finishing with knives, a
dozen or SO of the tars of the United
States gunboat Petrol whipped twice their
weight in Britishers at Shanghai shortly
before that vessel sailed for this port,
where she arrived last week.
The saucy little gunboat was made the
sport of big British cruiser, and while
marine battle was averted by a prompt
apology the sailors of the two warships
took up the matter ashore. A handful of
the Petreps men were tackled by a score

cruiser Spartan and blood and champagne
flowed, like water. The melee occurred on
Washingtons birthday, and the events

spartan arrived at Shanghai shortly after
there was no love lost between the crews
OF the vessels was manifest from the
start, and the officers were only polite
TO each other. Even politeness was for

the searchlight of the Spartan was turned

Captain Emery wrote a curt note to
the Commander of the Spartan and de-
spatehed it without loss of time. The
Searcn-nght was not turned on the Pc
trel again that night and a note of apol-
ogy for the discourtesy earlier in the
evening was received from the Spartan,s
captain. The officers on the Petrol were
satIshed. but their greetings to the Spar

REPORTS BY COUNTIES
REPUBLICAN CHAIRMEN MEET WITH
STATE COMMITTEE.
State VIII Go Anywhere from 10000
to $4,000 for MckinIey-Gen.
HarrisOn's Trip.

The Republican county chairmen and
members of the State committee held a
meeting yesterday afternoon at the Denison
House, according to the custom of every
campaign, for the purpose of making a
general report upon the condition of af-
fairs throughout the State. These reports,
made in person, are in a measure supple
mental to the thirty days poll, and deal
not with the detailed figures, but with the
general feeling and progress of the cam
pafgn in each county. The meeting yester-
day was attended more largely than any
preceding meeting of the kind, every county
In the State being represented, either by
the county chairman or his proxy. This
general view of the State seemed to be
entirely satisfactory TO the managers. The
reports agreed in declaring that the effect
of the last turn in the fusion deal has been
unquestionably disastrous to the Popocratic
campaign and indicated that the estimates
made by the Popocratic State candidates
at the time were correct namely, that it
would cost the ticket anywhere from eight
to twelve thousand Democratic votes.
The expression from every county showed
that the drift is now even more heavily
with the Republicans than it was two
weeks ago, and every county chairman in
the State seemed impressed with the be-
lief that the party will, after exerting all
its energies, find that it has struck a pow
erful blow and hit a bag of wind. Many
OF them declared that IL other counties
would show up as well as theirs, the State
would go anywhere from sixty to seventy
f1ve thousand for Mckinley and the figure
on the State ticket would be even larger.
Ihere was an enthusiasm and determina-
uon dispiayed that argues well for hard
and unremitttng political work during the
next two weeks. The prospect of a big
majority for the national and State ticket
is not likely to cause any apathy from over
confidence, from the fact that fusion with
the Populists upon local tickets has en-
dangered the Republican county tickets in
a. number of counties. On the local tickets
the Republicans do not get the advantage
OF the Democratic sound-money strength
as they do on the national ticket and in
counties where the combined Democratic
overcome the Republican vote, a remark
ably hard fight is being made to pull
through the county nominees.
During their visit the county chairmen
took occasion to express their needs in the
way of speakers with great emphasis. In
diana never had such a great corps of
speakers in the field as 1t has just now and
the national committee has never strained
itself to such a degree in giving Indiana
the best known men in the land. But, on
the other hand, there has never been such
to preach the Republican doctrine and do
II well. Almost every chairman believes
that his county ought to have "at least
one speaker of national reputation" within
the next two weeks, and they would take
several II they could be had

The many political parades have caused
many people to suffer from a bad cold;
others have the grip, While most or the
lookers-on have malaria A prominent
nhysician was asked for his opinion as TO
the best medicine to cure the above troub-
les. and replied that, although quinine was
the popular family remedy. many persons

this reason it was very essential that per-
sons should know the symptoms of ma
laria. The best-known symptoms of ma
laria in it's frequent mild form are coated
tongue. bad taste. loss OF appetite, con-
situated or irregular bowels, headache or
some form of neuralgia, pains in the chest,
hack. Joints or limbs, soreness OF the fesfi,
watery discharges from the nose and eyes,
sleepiness or drowsiness by day and UNI
refreshing sleep at night. These nrst sym
toms of malaria, unless cured, will develop
into malaria or typhoid fever. The ply
sicion said that for a quick cure it was
very important to get the liver active be-
fore trying to break the cold or fever. for
this reason he always gave Haag's Liver
pills in connection with Haag's Cold and

time prevent malarial or typhoid fever. The
doctor said that he gave a grown person
two Cold and Fever Capsules every three
hours and three to four at bed time: that
he always gave "A dose of Haagfs Liver
pills in connection with the capsules. OF
these he usually gave two at bed time for
night. These remedies are not patent med
icines and can now be had of any tirst-
class druggist and as the cost is only %
cents "A box, they are within the reach of
all. There is no cut on the price of these
