Gentlemen-Kindly accept my thanks
for the great benefits received from the
use of DIR. Charcot's Kola Nervine Tab
let's. At the time of commencing its
use last July, could not read, without
my glasses, the signs on our business
streets; could not retain on my mind a
matter of business sufficiently long to
get to the street from my office, and
could not call the names of my intimate
friends and would frequently get lost
in parts of the city where had been
daily visitor for the past seven years.
I attributed my condition to advanced
age. Thanks to Kola Nervine Tablets,
however, / am satisfied that am to-
day in as good condition, in every re-
spect, as l was at thirty-five. Anything
that will accomplish such wonderful re-
suits as this should be heralded to the
world. I might add for the benefit of
the public, that this testimonial is given
without any solicitation on your part
whatever. Yours truly,

Selected by King Hum
bert to Meet Prince
Henri of Orleans.
Severe Conditions for the
Affair on the Field
of Honor.
Next ana He Is Yet Anxious
to Battle.

LONDON, Eng, Aug. 13-A dispatch
from Paris confirms the statement that
Count Turin has challenged Prince Henri
Of Orleans to fight duel. Particulars of
the challenge are conflicting in some re-
spects, but the following details seem to
be we'll authenticated:
King Hum bert, as the head of the
Italian army, has assumed his officers
quarrel with Prince Henri, and author
lied Count Turin, his nephew, to fight the
Prince. The challenge was sent by tele-
graph and its acceptance received by the
same means. The seconds of Count
Turin are Marquis di Ginori and General
di Quinto. They arrived in Paris this
morning and held a conference with
Colonel Leontiniff and NJ. Raoul Mouri-
chon, the Princes seconds, at which
severe conditions for the meeting were
arranged. Nobody will be present when
the duel is fought except the principals,
seconds and physicians. The place OF
meeting will be on the estate of the Due
de Chartres at ST. Firmn.
1t was stat"d that Count Turin had ar
rived in Paris this evening, but this was
not confirmed. The duel will not likely
be fought before Monday, despite some
assertions that it will take place to-mor-
row.
The challenge of Count Turin was
granted precedence over that of General
Albertone. The latter has not abandoned
his intention to meet the Prince on the
field OF honor to wipe out the alleged in
suit offered to Italians captured by King
Menelik in Abyssinia during the late dis
astrous Italian campaign. The challenge
sent by Lieutenant Piani of the Italian
army, who was selected by his com panions
to meet the Prince, will probably be ban
doned. II is stated that Count Turin is
acting out of kindness to the Duchess of
Aosta princess Helene of Orleans), whose
position in Italy might be made odlous by
Prince Henri's attacks upon the Italian

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 13.-Act-

In his Endorsement upon the report,
which is OF general interest in many

Mr.. Roosevelt says:
The department fully sustains the con-

charges against Mr.. Bowles. In so far as

LONDON. ENG, Aug. 13.-The dispute
between the engineers and employers is
extending steadily to new districts. Four
centers, notable among them Sheffield
and Oldham, are affected by the trouble
this week, and more than 10000 men are
now involved. Moreover, the society of
on-fornders is considering the question
whether it's members will join the strikers.
The tranquility OF the disputants and the
non-interference of the outside public are
unprecedented in strike of such magni-
tude. Each side is trying to wear the
other out,
The employers at Edinburgh, Leith,
Aberdeen and Dundee to-day decided to

brought upon them by large employers,

made an official denial.
Speaking of the occurrence Canovas
said he was absolutely sure the man was
a oeggar. He said also the man was
Frenchman, as was proved by his accent,
and that he probably was bankrupt
gambler. Between Biarritz and San Sc
bastian there are many gam plers at thls
time of the year.
Not the least doubt is expressed now by
the police that Golh is the man who
stopped Canovas on July q, and was mis-
taken by him for Frenchman.
Many Spanish Carlists in Cuba, among
whom is the official agent OF the pretender,
are very hopeful that the killing OF Cano-
vas will lead to the triumph OF Don Carlos.
They say an absolute monarchy is the
only remedy for the evils OF anarchy, and
that the Cuban problem may be settled
by the establishment of home rule in the
island with a Viceroy as the representa-
tive of the King. The first Viceroy may
be elected by the Cubans in arms, they
saw. and be even General Gomez himself.
Carlos agents here have full powers rom
the pretender to work for the success OF
this plan.

LONDON, ENG, Aug. 13.-The impress
sion which has been long existent among
English residents of India and which has
been discussed by the Anglo-Indian press
that the Ameer of Afghanistan i, abetting
or conniving at the risinss OF frontier
tribesmen has been startingly trengthened
by report circulated in Bombay to-day
to the effect that the Ameer has recalled
all his agents in India.
A dispatch from Bombay announces
that an inquiry into the reports proves the
agents at Bonn bay and Calcutta went from
their posts days ago, and it affirms that
those at Simla, the summer seat OF the
Indian Government, and at Kurrachee,
have also gone.
1t is reported that the Afredi tribesme n
in the northwest have ri.en. The Hindoos
i'll Pshawure and Pnnjaub and on the
Afghan frontier express fears that the
Mohammedans will loot their houses. The
Government is concentrating two reserve
brigades at Rawl Pindi, in Punjaub.
Among the reports in circulation is one
which declares he Ameer is fomenting
Mohammedan dsaffection in India and
that he has sent thousands of copies OF a
pamphlet on jehad or holy war to
native Iudian regiments. The effuson,
which appeared on July q in the Indian
Daily News, dwelt enthusiastically upon
the victories which had been achieved by
the Sultan of Turkey.
It declared the Ietha rgy of the Mohsm-

HAWAIps GEh n IMPoRrANcE.
FttGt ReasoHs for the Amme1ation of the
Islands.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 13.-"From
a military as well as a commercial point
of view" said Director Smith of the Bu-
reau of American Republics, "the Ha-
waiian Islands, owing to their location
are of great importance.
Hawaii may be said to lie about one
third the distance of the accustomed route
from San Francisco to Japan and Chinese
ports, from San Francisco TO Australia,
from ports of British Colum bia to Aus
tralia and British India. and about half
way from the Isthmus of Panama to Yoko-
hama and Hongkong. The construction
OF a ship canal across the lSthmuS would
extend this geographical relation TO the
ports OF the Gulf of Mexico apd of the
Atlantic sea board of North and South
America. A glance at the man will at
once make clear the fact that no other
point in the North Pacific has such a
dominating relation to the trade between
America and Asia as a coaling- place and
depot of supplies for vessels.
From a naval standpoint Hawaii is the
great strategic base OF the Pacific. Under
the present conditions OF naval warfare
created by the use OF steam as motive
power, Hawaii would secure to the
maritime nation possessing it an ad
vantage as a depot for the supply
of coal. Modern battle-ships, depending
absolutely upon coal, would be enabled to
avail themselves of their full capacity of
speed and energy only by having some
halfway station in the Pacific where they
could replenish their stores OF fuel
and refit. A battle-ship or cruis
er starting from an Asiatic or
Australian port, with the view of operat-
ing along the coast of either North Amer
lea or South America, would be unable to
act effectively for any length of time at
the end of so long a voyage, unless she
were able to refill her DuEkers at some
point on the way. .
ION the other hand, If the United States
possessed Hawaii, she would be able to
advance her line of defense 200G miles
from the Pacific Coast, and with a forti
fed harbor and strong fleet at Honolulu
would be N position to conduct either
defensive or offensive operations i'll the
North Pacific to greater advantage than
any other power"

is the startling fact that Assassin Coli
attacked Canovas on the evening of July

neither arrested nor watched afterward by
the police, because the Premier gave or
ders not 10 molest the anarchist. Cano-

Newcomers and a gendarme held MIN, but
Canovas ordered him set free. The order
was obeyed, and the man retired, still
bowing to Canovas with great apparent
humility. An hour afterward rumor
spread that Canovas had been attacked.
The news was telegraphed to all the new
