Contagious
Blood Poison,

Mr.. Frank y. Martin. who is engaged
in the jewelry business at 926 Penn

where he is we'll and favorably known,
was victim of that worst form of dis
ease--con,agious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted. for this terrible disease has
batfied the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they hNn~never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described
In recent letter he says: "About
four years ago l contracted severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before l was in a terri

myself under treatment of two of the

tion of putting an end to pelagic scaling,
ana offsetting other border controversies.
owing to the continued illness of Sir Julian
Pauncefote, who is confined to his room,
the British government was represented by
the first secretary of the British embassy,
Mr.. Adam. Sir Wilfrid Laurer and Sir
Louis Davies were present in behalf of Can
ada. General Fosters powers had been ma
terially enlarged since the coming of the
Canadian officials, for, as a result of the
long and friendly talk between Sir Wilfrid
and Secretary Sherman, the latter had writ
ten to the Canadian premier stating that
the President had empowered General Fos-
ter to treat on the various border questions
which Sir Wilfrid had called to the atten-
tion of Mr.. Sherman, and, with the cooper
alton of the British government to ccn-
clude treaties covering these subjects This
gave the meeting a broad significance. 1t
began at p. m. and lasted until Z. During
these three hours the entire range of bor-
der affairs was discussed. Primarily, the
purpose of the meeting was to secure an
agreement on Bering sea. The Canadians
made it clear, however that they wished
scope than the one subject of Bering sea,
and to embrace the many sources of friction
along the border. In this connection the
plan OF an international commission was
discussed at great length. The Canadians
felt that the commission afforded the best
means of reconciling all differences and of
opening the way to reciprocity. The discus
sion was of the most friendly nature
throughout and no sharp differences were
allowed TO crop out. 1t was felt, however,
that the plan of a commission was too
large question for immediate determina-
ton. A final understanding was reached,
therefore, that the Canadian proposition
should be reduced to writing, as a basis for
further negotiations. This closed the con-
ference and the officials said their farewells,
expressing satisfaction at the cordial feel
ing which had characterized the meetings
of the last ten days. Sir Wilfrid and Sir
Louis leave at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing for Ottawa.

DANGER OF JINGOISM.
Bishop DOane DeplOres the Reckless
Utterances of Public Speakers.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 16-Bishop William
Croswell Doane, in his annual address to the
clergy of the diocese of Albany to-day
speaking of the relation of America to Eng
land in the Lambeth congress, was very
intense in his condemnation of what is
called "jingoism." Regarding the report on
the subject of international arbitration he
said: There can be no question but that
within the last two or three years, from
various causes and with some fault on both
sides. the minds of men have been accus-
toned to the thought Of possible resort to
arms as the settlement of national ques-
tions between England and America. With
our many extreme expressions OF partisan
violence the English government, the En-
glsh people and the English press have been
most patient; but unless we come to recog-
niZe more than we do the reckleSsness of
speech, the facility of rouSiEg prejudices
and the danger of provoking even the most
patient strength we may bring about state
of things infinitely disgraceful and infinitely
dangerous to our Christianity and our civili-
Zation."
bishop Doane said that the spirit of hos
tility so openly expressed on this side the
water was present, though latent, in Eng
land. and we should be careful how we
aroused this feeling to active hostility. If
as has been suggested" he added, the old
revolutionary spirit that regarded England
as a tyrant is still kept alive by our school
books of history then it is time the text
books were changed"

CLAIM 100000 ACRES.
OhiOans Want a Big Slice of the

OhiOans Want q Big Slice of the
Northwest, Including the Twin Cities.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-An immense
claim, embracing 100000 acres of land in
the Northwest. and including the cities of
Minneapolis and st. Paul, was brought be-
fore Commissioner Herman, of the Gen
eral Land Office, to-day, and the assistance
of the government in securing official data
was called for. The claimants are G. B.
Holloway, of Holland, o., and A. u. Gum,
of Maumee, o. They are now making an
examination of the General Land Office rec
ords with view to securing copies of GER
titled papers which, they assert, will estab
lish their title to the lands claimed by
them. Their ancestor, through whom they
claim title was Jonathan Carveur an Eng
lishman, well-known explorer in the last
century Carveur lived among the Indians
of the Northwest mostly in what is now
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and for a time
he was adopted by some of the tribes, in
cluding the NaWdanisSia, who made him
chief, and for valuable services rendered, it
is claimed by the heirs, presented him the
vast tract They assert that this tribal act
the Continental Congress. Gum claims he
is the great grandson of Carveur and Hol-
loway's wife is the great granddaughter. A
representative of the heirs had long in
tervieW with Land Commissioner Herman
to-day where the contentious were eX-
planned. The department will render what
ever assistance is possible in the way of
securing information.
The case was presented to the Land Of
fee to-day by George r. Rose. of Michigan,
who claims to be an heir, through Capt.
Levi Thayer, who purchased a portion of
the tract from Jonathan Carver by deed.
President Monroe, on April 23, 1922, sent a
message to Congress regarding the claim
of Carver about the falls of st. Anthony,
and three years later the committee on pri-
vate land claims of the House made an ad-
verse report. The grant, according to pa
pers filed to-day, was made by two chiefs
of the tribe on May /, 1867

GERMANS LOSING TRADE.
They Blame the United States and De-
mand Retaliation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Consul Monag-
han, at Chemnitz, in a report to the State
Department on Germanys exports to the
United States says: Germany is alarmed.
Exports to the United States are dropping
off. Nothing so alarming has appeared in
twenty years. America was always the best
customer in many lines of manufactures. In
the September quarter of 1896 seventeen
consular districts sent to the United States
goods amounting to $14,4S1 Ala. In the same
quarter in 1887 the same districts sent 81
1S9112 The average loss all over the en-
pire is nearly so per cent In many cases
this indicates much more than mere money
losses to our revenues. 1t indicates a
diminution in exports from this empire due
to the Dingley bill. The public is told to put
little confidence in newspaper reports even
If accurate. Each issue urges intelligent
effort to retain the United States market"
Consul Monaghan quotes from a paper
which says that some of the falling off is
due to the rush of goods to get ahead of the
Dingley law, but adds that Germany must
suffer severe losses on account of the tariff
bill. Some papers suggest raising import
duties to retaliate, especially in the matter
Of sugar One paper says: We can break
off row because of Americas inconsiderate,
almost hostile action and attitude. The
most favored nation clause has been vio-
lateu. Ino UNIVERSAL opinion IaVOrS retalld-
ton. We use, but we do not need American
meats, cotton, corn and petroleum. We
must fight her inch by inch over every line
Of goods that go out into markets to meet
ours. The government must be given full
power to put reprisals in operation. When
the Reichstag and Landtag get together this
fall ways and means must be found for
forcing the United States from its present
position We must wait and see how much
damage Mr.. Dingley's bill has done or will
do. Mr.. McKinleys- bill was as bad in its
way as Dingley's 1t did little real dam
age" The paper next counsels against
hasty action and adds: "T'he consciousness
that we can count upon weapons with which
to make war aggressive or defensive is
enough now. Corn, cotton and petroleum
they must SELL 1t is not so certain that
we must buy from them. Russia, India and
Egypt are near to US. They have cotton
and petroleum. But we will wait. Not
timidly, because the only way to have effect
on Americans is by a display OF sharp
teeth
Consul Monaghan says the above is a fair
illustration of newspaper feeling in Ger
many regarding the loss of trade He also
says that every effort is being made to
make up for the loss of markets in the
United States by increasing trade in every
other part of the world.

DEFENSE OF LAURIER.
Canada's Premier Would Not Grant
Preferential Duties to Britain.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 16.-The Globe, the
leading Liberal paper in Canada, says:
Conservative newspapers keep up a con-
stant fire of criticism on Sir Wifrid Laurier
because, as they allege, he refused to agree
to a preferential tariff between Great
Britain and Canada as proposed by Mr.
Chamberlain. 1t is just as well that the
real facts Of the matter should be known
During the visit of the premier to Great
Britain Mr.. Chamberlain made the PROPOSE
ton that there should be absolute free trade
between Great Britain and her colonies on
condition that the former place a small GUS
toms tax commodities from foreign coun-
tries. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, speaking for
Canadians, said he could not accept such an
offer. The Canadian government had al
ready arranged for an abatement of duties
on British goods to the extent of rs per
cent. and as the whole fabric of Canadian
finances, as we'll as Canadian industry, was
founded on customs duties, he could not for
a moment consider a proposition to remove
them with one blow. What the reply of the
other premierS was was not referred to
here Suffice it to say that Mr.. Chamber
lain remarked, with reference to Sir Wilfrid
Lauriers reply, that he would not touch
with tongs the subject of preferential
tariff on any other basis than that of abso-
lutte free trade between Great Britain and
her colonies These are the facts and this
the sort of an arrangement that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier is being daily denounced for not ac-
ceDting"

and slaughter as many reindeer as neces-
sary for food to make all hold out until
August. 1898, when Captain Tuttle may be
expected to arrive with the Bear Such
reindeer as are left will be turned over TO
the Presbyterian mission at Point Barrow.
All of the rescued Whalers should be at
Point Hope by July l, where they can be
reached and succored a month earlier than
at Point Barrow. No opportunity for hunt
ing, sealing or whaling, whereby the food
supply may be added to, is to be neglected.
In case Captain Tuttle finds it impossible
to effect landing on the north shore of
Norton sound he is instructed to adopt the
most feasible of five other plans, which are
outlined always bearing in mind that food
must be got to the 265 starving men
at the earliest possible moment. He is
given full authority and the largest possi-
Bile latitude to act in every exigency that
may arise. After landing the overland eX-
pedition the Bear will seek such harbor as
may be deemed proper in which to await
results and the opening of navigation in
the spring.
In closing his instructions to Captain Tut
tie Secretary Gage says: Mindful of the
arduous and perilous expedition upon which
you are about to enter, bid you, your OFF,
GERS and men, Godspeed upon your errand
of mercy and wish you successful voy-
age and safe return"
