most gallant and competent officer, who in!I88O
crushed the rebellion in Cuba by cruelty SO
shocking that he nearly brought the Wash

es himself publicly this time, n, t to be cruel,
but it is quite possible that the Americans,
aghast at his appointment, may recognize
the insul gents as belligerents, and thus en-
courage their numerous sympathisers in The
Southern States to rush to their aid. General
Weyler takes with him twenty-thouSand more

his final speeches at Havana, Marshal Campos

Business Situation Is Somewhat Mixed in
Its Prominent Features.
NEW YORK, NV 23.-Bradstreets says:
The reactionary ldency in prices, shrink
age in railroad earnings, falling off in
bank clcarin2s, and the fact that the pres
ent constitutes the beginning of the be-
tween-seasons period, include the more
conspicuous features of the general bust
ness situation. On the other hand, bust
ness failures have fallen off sharply. Gen.
eral trade throughout the central west has
not met anticipatiOns. Clothing orders
have dropped off two weeks earlier than
usual at Chicago, and the run Of orders
for dry goods there is light.
A relatively more favorable report comes
from st. Louis that dry goods, clothing,
hardware and groceries are being sold in
increasing quantities for fall delivery.
Detroit and Milwaukee business interests
are suffering from strikes. The most ia
vOrable report comes from Kansas City,
where the movement of merchandise con-
tinues relatively quite active. Mercan-
tile collections are fair and trade pros
poets We're never better.
The total number of business failures
throughout the United States this week
shows marked falling off from the week
ly average during the past four months
GIG, as compared with 265 last week, POS in
the like week of 1895, 237 in the third week
of May, 1894, and 247 in the corresponding
week of 1893. The total number of business
failures reported from the Dominion is 2S.

A GREAT REMEDY
For spn.r.rs From Pi,e..

DR.. Redmond. . specialist in the
study and treatment of piles and
rectal diseases. recently stated that
the Pyramid Pile Cure. the new dis
covery for the cure Of piles, was the
most remarkable remedy he had ever
seen or tried in one respect. and that
was the instant relief experienced in
all cases, no matter how severe, from
the moment the emedy was applied;
this was the more surprising to him,
because he had carefully aualyzed
the preparation and no trace Of
opium. cocaine or similar poison
could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor
upon the Pyramid Pile Cure, because
1t is rapidly taking the place Of sur
gical operations and because it is so
simple. SO easily applied and con-
tains no mineral or other poisons SO
commonly used in pile cures.
DIR. Esterbrook reports that the
Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures the
various forms of piles, bat never
fails to give immediate relief on the
hrst application, no matter how
severe the pain or discomfort may
be.
People who have suffered from
piles for years are often astonished
at the instant relief experienced from
the first application. Another inn
portant advantage is the fact that
anyone can use the remedy without
detention from business or interior
ference with daily occupation. Sold
by druggists at SO cents per package.

MILWAUKEE, May 23.-At a delegate
meeting attended by 15O representatives
of fifty trades, labor, Turner and other
organizations resolutions were adopted
calling on Governor Upham to summon
the Wisconsin legislature in extraordinary
session to take action on the strike and
boycott situation. 1t is desired that the
legislature amend the state laws in such
manner that the charter of the Milwaukee
Street and Electric Railway company may
be rescinded or that the city of3Niilwaukee
can become the owner of the company s
property in this city.
The strike situation is practically I'M
changed. Cars are in operation on all
lines, but the boycott and fears of violence
prevent them being patronized No at
tempt has been made to run cars Sundays
since the street railway employees struck,
but the company announces that it will
start cars tomorrow as usual.

mains now in the way of elections. When
Rev. DIR. ]. NJ. Buckley was Overwhclm-
ingly elected editor of the New York
Christian Advocate there was an immense
ovation to the popular New Yorker. Reso.
buttons were adopted favoring interna.
tional arbitration, and will be copied into

nations throughout the world. Bishop
Goodscll was excused from further attend.
ance upon the conference, as he. must go
abroad. Portland. Ore, was selected as
the sixteenth episcopal residence, and
rules to be followed by the bishops in
selecting their stations from among the
residences provided were adopted.
Rev. A. c. Bowdish, of Springfield, l..
l., preferred formal complaint against
Bishops Fowler and Fitzgerald before the
committee on episcopacy. He claims that
in 1894 Bishop Fowler. while presiding
over the New York conference. trans.
ferred him without his knowledge or con-
sen. from New York to the New England
conference. He says he went to the New
England conference, then in session, and
that Bishop Fitzgerald declined to receive
him on the ground that he already had
more ministers than he could use. Bowd-
ish went back to New York, but the con.
ference was ended and he was left without
occupation. He asks for ass for house
rent and furniture. Bishop Fowler says
that Bowdish wanted to go to Boston. and
that he supposed he had n call from a
church there. The case was referred to q
subcommittee.
There was hot debate in the committee
on itineracy on the proposition that the
bishops be DIRECTED not to appoint at an

Ne Wants Protection

There is a man on business in the cop
per country, who comes from the west,
who believes protection is the real issue
OF this campaign and who has had a
severe object lesson to bring him to that
conclusion. Notwithstanding the fact
that he halls from Montana. the very
hot-bed OF the free silver people, he is a
red hot Mckinley man and he knows
why.
-Four years ago he was a prosperous
sheep raiser in Montana, owned a big
ranch and was making money. Now he
is here trying to sell his sheep to the
butchers for what he can get for them.
Last year the price he sold bis wool for
was le-s than half OF what be was getting
for it four year ago. he cut his mems
wages, ran the ranch as cheaply as posi-
BILE, made no more than the necessary
improvements about his place, and still
lost money. He came to the conclusion
he could not make money at the business
and now be is trying to dispose OF his
sheep. He says that, Notwithstanding
the fact that the silver mining people are
all for Tree silver. there is a decided senti-
ment for Mckinley among the class OF
men engaged in business similar to bis.
