EARL RUSSELL ON THE STAND.
Denounces the Charge of Most Pc
cuiiar Nature AGAINST Him as
"FUihv LES"

LON DON, ENG, Nov. 26-The trial OF
Lady Scott was continued in the Cont
mental Criminal Court to-day with Earl
Russell on the witness-stand. Counsel
for Lady Scott received a letter written
oy Lady Cardigan to Countess Russell. in
which the writer asked, "Do you know
that Earl Russell was expelled from Ok
ford Tor malpractices, and are you also
aware that he was guilty of misconduct
with Chinaman, who was afterward
shipped to China?" Earl Russell said he
had employed Chinese boy, but there
was not the slightest foundation for the
story OF witness misconduct with the lad.
Counselor Hall next examined Lord
Russell on behalf of the male defendants.
The Ea[l said that Ion Thyme. who slept
in his (wituess') cabin on board the yacht,
could disprove kast's story, but he had
gone to South America, having sailed
about six weeks ago. Thyme had been
subpenaed as witness in this case, but
he could not delay MS departure for South
America, as his child was Ill, and it was
necessary that he should be taken away at
once.
In continuation of his cross-exsmina-
ton the Earl admitted that Aylott had
slept IN his cabin. Aylott was notorious
liar. but witness had nevertheless given
him good character when he left his SER
vice. The whole OF Ayiott's statement,
Earl Russell said, was one filthy lie. None
of the male defendants, Lord Russell ad-
mitted, had ever attempted to blackmail
him.
Sir Frank Lockwood. Q. c., for the
prosecution. re-examined Earl Russell,
who, IN answer to questions, said that
Lady Scott had not objected to the tone of
the letters which he had written to her.
Counsel proceeded to read number of
letters written 10 Earl Russell by Lady
Scott, all OF which were couched in the
most affectionate terms, after which the
trial was adjourned until tomorrow.

DESTRUCTION OF A PEORIA HOTEL,
There Was Great CONSERVATION Amono
the Guests, but They We're All
Rescued.

PEORIA, ILL, Nov. 26.-Fire, which
started near the roof at $50 this evening,
totally destroyed the Peoria House, ,caus-
ing q loss of $4,000. An unknown man
was rescued from one of the rooms in en-
u nconscious condition, due to smoke.
Immediately the alarm was given to the
guests q panic ensued, and for time 1t
seemed impossible 10 avoid great loss of
life, but through the efforts of the Fire De-
partment and aided by the citizens this
was avoided, and as the flames worked
their way slowly throughout the entire
roof everybody in the building was re-
moved In safety in a short time. The
Fire Department it was thought, had the
fire under control, but about two hours
after the flames again made their appear
ance and another alarm was sent in, fol-
lowed soon after by a general cali, and In
a short time the entire apparatus of the
city was working in an effort to stay the
flames.
At12:30 the fire was yet burning and the
building is practically ruined. The struc-
ture was owned by Mrs. Barnard OF Omaha.

BERING SEA SEAL QUESTION.
II Is Not at An Considered Settled by
This Government and Further Con-
gsnfion Must Be Secured

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 26.-An
indication that the Bering Sea seal ques-
ton is not at all considered settled by
this Government and that some further
convention must be secured with Great
Britain to supplement the insufficient
regulations of the Paris tribunal is shown
from the publication of report on the
subject made by Commander Brice of the
navy from observations made two years
ago. Commander Brice finds that the
preservation of the Alaskan fur seal un-
der existing conditions and regulations
rests on the very slender contingency of
the prevalence of tempestuous waves dur
ing the month of August. Two or three
weeks of good weather at this time by
permitting the sealers to operate without
interruption outside the sixty mile stone
and on the feeding grounds of the seals
means the ultimate and rapid destruction
of the seal herd on the PribyIoff Islands.
In conclusion he writes:
1.-The Bering Sea Com mission offers the
following definite alternatives of settle
ment:
First. shall the United States Govern
ment effectually and forever terminate
this international dispute by absolutely
ann'hiiating the Alaskan seal herd as the
animals arrive on the seal islands, or,
second, shall the United States permit
the pelagic poachers of British Columbi
to destroy the seals on the way to the
rookeries. and thus ultimately destroy
the lie itimate industry of killing selected
seals on the islands or third, will the
British Government enact laws to protect
an industry which is not generally con-
ceded in America to have at the outside
greater commercial interest to Great
Britain than us?''

dies. Upon the healthy action of the
digestive organs, the blood depends for
its richness and purity. If digestion
stops, poisonous matter accumulates and
is forced into the blood-there is no
place else for it to go. Before this, the
fernented, putrid matter has indicated
its presence by making the breath foul,
the complexion sallow and muddy, the
eyes dull and the head heavy. BY and
by, the germ infected poisonous matter
in the blood causes weakness or inhan-
nation in some part of the body. Then
comes rheumatism, scrofula, consurnp-
ton, liver complaint, kidney trouble and
a half a hundred other ills.
The bad breath is a danger signal.
Look out for it! If you have It, or
any other symptom of indigestion,
take a bottle or two of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t will
straighten out the trouble, make your
blood pure and healthy and full of nu-
trinent for the tissues. 1t is strong
statement, but true one that the
