ish Nation. 55N f.-.
London, Aug. 15.-The queens speech,
proroguing parliament, was delivered
70 the house of commons at 6:15 O'clock
Friday afternoon. The speech says:
my relations with the powers continue
the dervshes in the valley OF the Nile
against the positions occupied by Italy east
of that river convinced me that,sit was
necessary for Egypt to take steps toward
arresting their advance. By my, advice
and sanction an expedition has under
taken to restore to the government of the
khedive,t as far4as Dongola, the territory
which was lost a decade ago. The opera
lions Of the expedition are proceeding, and
by the brilliant action of Ferket a largo
portion of the territory has already been
recovered.
'"The condition Of portions of Turkey
continues to cause anxiety, and at present
Crete is the principal center of the dis
turbances. I have observed strict leutrali-
ty, but in conjunction with the powers I
endeavored to reconcile che contestants
by proposing a system of government
which should be equitable and equally &C
ceptable to Christians and Mussulmans.
II regret that a serious rebellion, sig
nalized with cruel murders, has broken
out in Matabele land, the rising having eX-
tended into Mashonaland. The work Of
defense and repression has been under
taken, the settlers displaying great cour-
age They have since been reinforced by
imperial and other troops" 81
The speech refers to the Matabele
country and expresses hope that the
rebels Will shortly accept the clemency
which has been offered 70 them.
@ Referring to the matter of the de-
limitation of the Indian frontier, the
speech says that the agreements be-
tween the shah of Persia and the ameer
of Afghanistan, upon the subject, are
friendly to the Chitrals. Relief garri-
sons sent to Chitral have received the
cooperation of the tribesmen.
Her majesty expresses her thanks to
the house of commons for their provi-
sicns and services for the year and con-
cludes 10y saying that she has given
her consent with pleasure TO the meas
ures for naval defenses, for lessening
the agricultural taxes, for the protec
ton of the cattle imports from disease
and measures for various other pur-
poses. including the Irish land bill.
In bidding farewell to the members
Of the house her majesty prays that
they may receive the blessings Of provi-
Lence and rest from their labors

Mohammedans Massacred in China by
Imperial Orders.
Vancouver. B. G., Aug. 14.-The steam
er Empress of Japan, which arrived
Wednesday night, brought mail advces
from the orient as follows: The news
from Kansu is that the famous Tung
Fuhsiang, in obedience to the imperial
command, has begun massacre of
all Mohammedans that he comes across.
At Hsining-Fu he slew 5000 business
men and sold their wives and female
children. Fears are entertained of a
general uprising, especially in Pintain-
Flu and Haitien, which have hitherto
remained faithful.
Floods are doing terrible damage in
China. In many places entire towns
and villages are submerged. All rail-
roads have stopped running. Many
deaths have taken place and hundreds
of homeless men, women and children
are starving to death.

Washington, Aug. 17.--Spain is pre-

ton"
There can be no question, according
to Mr.. Carlisle, that the United States
are and have been fully cognizant of the
state of insurrection in Cuba. More.
over, the Spanish government, through
its accredited minister and other repre-
sentatives, has not failed repeatedly to
warn the authorities though generally
in vain-of the impending purpose OF
Glibustering expeditions about to leave
various ports.
These facts, says the brief, are so no
tcrious and the violations of neutrality
Sc fragrant that the claims of the Span
ish government arising Hereunder are
entitled to every consideration as wei
grounded and lawful.
In concluding the first section O.
his report Mr.. Carlisle says the powers
invested in the president of the United
States have not been effectively used ;o1
preventing the carrying on of military
expeditions forbidden by. the statutes
Whatever pretext andsattempts may be
made to carry on these expeditions az
peaceful and lawful voyages, the fact
remains, says the attorney, that from
the beginning of the instruction the
base of supplies for war material has
been in the United States.

FAST MAIL WORK,

Pneumatic Tubes for Post Delivery In
~ Large Cities.
L. It would not be surprising, says Har-
sper's Round Table, to find Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington connected by tubes, ell.
aiding letters and parcels to be for
warded in as many hours as it now
takes days. The telegraph companies
will be seriously affected by the new
system.
The operation is very simple. The
letters are placed in a leather tube or
carrier, which fits snugly into the pneu-
matte tube. Then blast of air from be-
hind, or the suction OF air from the
front, or a combination of the two
methods, forces the carrier and it's con.
tents forward. AS the friction sooE
wears out the leather carriers, Amer.
lean genius will be called upon to in.
vent metal carrier on ball bearings"
With leather tubes about SO per cent. ci
the power applied is lost in overcoming
friction and in waste, only ten per cent.
of the total force applied being used to
propel the carrier.
The charge for sending pneumatic
letters in Paris was IS cents each in
1879, and the territory covered was but
a small part of the city. To-day every
part of Paris is reached by the tubes,
and the charge is ten cents per letter,
the same as our special delivery. Nins
varieties of the Paris pneumatic letters
are collected Probably many of thu
readers have one or more of them. They
bear map of the city ON the face of tho
envelope, showing the different sections
served by this post. The Berlin and
Vienna pneumatic letters are simpler in
design. There are no special designs On

BIG RACES.
Some of the Worlds Best PAGERS VIII Bs
Seen on the Ground,


W. w. P, the great PAGER that was
the sensation of the@Detroit meetinp of
last month. has been booked bv Presi-
dent Weaver for the state fair. He
was authorized by the racing commit
tee a month ago to secure the best star
event possible to be added to the rae
ing program already arranged, and this
is the result. w. w. P. is regarded bv
many horsemen as likely to carry off
the highest honors of the turf before
the season is over. At Detroit, So, 500
was offered for the free-for-all pace:
81, 900 of the amount was offered to the
winner for the first heat, the beaten
horses to race, best two in three, on
subsequent day for the balance of the
money, $1,000. It is needless to saw
that the first heat was warm one, the
most exciting of the meeting. w. W:
?. won cleverly in 2:054, defeating
among others Frank Agan, who at Co.
lumbus, a week later, defeated Patch
en- and Gentry. making the fastest
fourth heat on record.
w. w. P. is to be shown at the fair
on two days He is to be put against
the worlds wagon record, 2:osk, and
the record of the track, 2:07, made by
Nancy Hanks. Frank B. LOOMS, his
owner, is confident he will accomplish
both undertakings, for he is in fine
fettle and is doing his best work.
Another star feature President Wea-
yer has booked for three days the state
fair is decided novelty. 1t is Marion
Miles, the phenomenal PAGER, with a
record of going a mile in 2:12M with
out a strap or prompter of any kind.
The mare is harnessed to sulky AID
without bride, reins or driver goes
around the track like wind without
break. 1t is likely that the entries for
the 2:0s pace will also include several
horses of national reputation. The en-
tries close Friday. A purse for a three
year old trot has also been added and
there are to be several running races
not yet announced.

Every member of the legislature
who is not a Republican will be a
Populist with just one exception.
This exception is Joe Basgall, of Ellis
county. who is a full-blooded Russian,
and who was elected as a Democratic
nominee over both a Republican and
Populist adversary. The only Demo-
crat in the last legislature, elected as
such also came from Ellis county.
Tom Wilson. of Barber county. listed
himself as Democrat in the last ses-
sion, but he was elected as a Populist
nominee, and this year the Populists
beat him at the polls in a three-cor-
nered fight with a man by the name
of Patton. BaSgan, who stands as
the solitary representative of Democ-
racy in the legislature, came over from
Russia in the colony which located in
Ellis county in 1876. His first job in
America was in the store of Hill p.
Wilson, where he learned the English
language and something of American
business methods. The irony of fate
receives a fine illustration in the fact

Group is a terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of
Group is common cold. Children who
are subject to it take cold very easily
and Group is almost sure to follow.
The first symptom is hoarseness; this
is soon followed by peculiar rough
cough. which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who
has heard it. The time to act is when
the child first becomes hoarse. If

cough has developed it will prevent
the attack. There is no danger in
