1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centers in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bitters
improves the appetite, aids digestion,
and is pronounced by those who have
tried it as the very best blood purifier
and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for soc
or $l00 per bottle at w. H. Sheldon's
drug store.

PROTEST FROM THE PORTE Has Not Been Received by the
 British Government. FRANCE AND RUSSIA OBJECT But John Bull Continues His Preparation for
 the Expedition.
MONEY ADVANCED BY THE COMMISSION
the Khedive Acted Within His
 Rights and So Did the Egyp- tion Debt Commission.

London, March 26-In the house of commons today MT. George N. Curzon, under secretary to the foreign office, an nounced that the government had not re- ceiyed any protest from the porte against the expedition up the valley of the Nile. The sultan, he said, had inquired as to the nature of the military operations pro- posed, and explanations had been given in response to these inquiries. Previous notice had not been given to the porte, he said, because nothing had been pro- posed that was beyond the full compe- teney and right of the khedve of Egypt to engage in and to carry out
 MT. Curzon went on to explain that there were numerous precedents for the expenditure of a portion of the Egyptian reserve fund with the consent of ma jority of the representatives of the pow CTS comprising the Egyptian public debt commission. As a matter of fact, that was the ordinary mode of procedure. MT.
