Victoria, Texas, August 29.-The chill
dren's excursion to Port Lavaca from
Cuero and Rosenberg yesterday was a
pronounced success, exceeding the ex-
pectations of its projectors. There
were about 600 all told from Cuero and
Victoria, and nearly the same number
from the East. An unavoidable delay
to the train from the east of several
hours prevented great many from
going on the excursion who had pre-
pared to go.

On Board the United States Cruiser
Brooklyn, Boston, Mass, August 20
The Brooklyn was given preliminary
trial under forced draught over the
official course between Cape Ann and
Cape Porpoise yesterday. The aver
age speed for the round trip of eighty
three knots was 2097 knots an hour, a
very satisfactory performance all
things considered. The contract calls
for speed of twenty knots an hour
in run of four consecutive hours.
For each quarter knot above this a
speed premium of $4,000 is allowed
the builders. 1t is believed that on the
official trial on Wednesday speed OF
p 10 knots will earn for the Cramps
the handsome bonus of 100000. Yes

Some idea of the rapid progress
Japan is making toward the object of
her ambition--to become the manu-
featuring cente. Of the far east-is con-
yeyed by a report from United States
Consul General McIvor, at Kanagawa,
ON the present condition of the cot
ton-spinning industry in Japan. Using
figures prepared for publication by the
Japanese minister Of agriculture, the
report shows that all of the coarse
threads formerly imported in great
quantities from England and India are
being displaced by home-rroducec
Jananese threads. The finer qualities
of English thread are still required,
az the Japanese production OF these
grades is still very limited. Before the
end of the present year there will be a
million spindles in operation in Japan.
The imports of raw cotton from the
United States have increased froI
3 91S 7s6 pounds in 1898 to 14,9s4,Ss
last year, while the imports of cote
from China and India increased
about the same proportion.

DOCTOR. MCC0Y'S MONOGRAPH ON CATARRH
Prompted by Numerous Inquiries of Those Afflicted by Dhe-The
Treatment That Catarrhal Conditions

Doctor McCoy's Monograph OH
Catarrh is the response of the famous
physician to the expressed desire of
hundreds of patients for words of
authority from the man whose treat
mcnt, formulated in 1883, was car
rled all over the nation by men who
had been in his employ as physi-
clans, assistants or students, whose
practice was exploited i'll every city
of the country with the ever familiar
and original mode of presentation;
the picture and interview of the
cured patients. That his years of
study and effort in mastering this dis
ease as far back as SO were not in
vain, is evidenced even by the meas
ure OF success of these young men
who had been with him, by the fact
that with the knowledge they had
acquired in their brief services in his
great Offices, they were enabled to
compete successfully with local doc
tors in cities in which they practiced
That this knowledge, effective as it
seems to have been commercially,
was not invariably effective profess
sionally, is not altogether due to the
brevity of their training and exper-
fence with Doctor Mccoy, or their
lack of years spent in preliminary
study and practice, for it is frankly &C
knowledged by Doctor Mccoy that
the earlier methods which they
copied were far from satisfactory to
him. In other words, the treatment
which they went forth to offer to the
public was premature and incom-
plete, as all great departures must be
