SING A CHORUS OF PRAISE
London Newspapers Felicitating
Lord Salisbury's Government
The Occasion Is the Denunciation
OF the CONNIE rcial Treaties With
Germany and Belgium.

London, July 31-As stated In the dis
patches to the Times last night the de-
nunciatiun by Great Britain OF her COM
mercial treaties with the German Zollve-
rein and Belgium has evoked chorus OF
praise from the newspapers, conservative
end liberal alike The treaties viii cease
20 be operative on July 80, 1898, and the
effect OF their abrogation VIII be wide
spread. There has been more or less strain
for two or three years past in the re-
lations between Great Bn tain and Ger
many The latter sees in the cancellation
OF her treaty another official expression Of
unfriendh ness, and she viii, beyond a
shadow of doubt, make reprisals for the
curtailment of her commerce which is
bound to follow Englishmen, however, be-
iieve that in a tariff war they would be
sure to he the victors, as Germany has far
more to lose ia fight OF that kind than
they.
The Right Hon. George J. Goschen, first
lord OF the admiralty, announced a few
days ago, as was told in The Times dis
patches that the government was about
% lay DOWN fOUf new batueships. Ger
many appears to be sure that the abroga-
tion OF her treaty is connected with this
strengthening OF the British navy, and
that Greet Britain is trying to deliberately
pick a quarrel with her.
The St James Gazette voices the gen
eral feeling in an article which it pub
fishes this afternoon. 1t says
tine Pronunciation OF the treaty s rather
Interesting as species OF farewell 20 two
generations Of what we now know has
been a mistaken policy. In obedience TO
sentiment Incorporating as common sense.
We have tried to make all our neighbors
friendly; we have pressed our good Of
nces upon them; We have tried with tears
In our eyes to convince them that We
should 10th be so much happier il We
only did more business to keep them In
good humor; w have restrained our hands
from what we might perfectly W ell have
taken, and we have even hurried TO make
,gratuitods promises not TO accept the
good things If they were offered TO u.s.
The end OF il is the much courted for
eigner Is less In love with US than ever.
No wonder then that we hear undisturbed
the denunciation of the treaties.
'sr Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of
the exchcquer, with the way he has OF
going to the root OF matter, stated the
prevailing opinion among US when he dis
missed Mr.. Cuurtney's appeal to the
foreigner the other night as absurd, since
the Judge is always sure TO find us guilty.
but IL is change when the chancellor
OF the exchequer can say these things and
nobody disapproves, except Mr.. Courtney,
who has lived into wicked times, when
men are falling away from virtue on all

Pittshurg, July 81 Better luck than they
had yesterday fell to the lot of the strik-
ing miners today. None of De ArHhtts
mines closed down on Friday. Today two
Of them were practically shut down. Pat
rick Dolan got In tonight from the seat of
the trouble and said:
mot a miner went to work in the Oak
Hin or Turtle Creek mine, of the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal Company. The
company got out one car of coal, but this
was Ieavings gathered up by the day men.
The Sandy Creek mine is closed down en-
tirely and not pound OF coal came out
OF that mine today.
"only fifty men quit work at the Plum
Creek mine, and OF these only five said
they would strike. The other forty-five
stay out Monday.

to Sandy Creek and Turtle Greek, on
Monday"
a number of coal operators VINO met al
the Monongahela House today we've all
in favor OF the strikers, and say they hope
the miners will win. They were strong
in their denunciau;on of Sheriff Lowry
tor issuing proclamation ordering the
strikers at the New York and Cleveland
mines tc retire TO their homes.
James w. Shields, who operates the big
mine, is sending q donation Of provisions
to the strikers daily. He also condemns
the action of the sheriff. The Work on

secure signatures on Monday. Operators

MILLIONS FOR BEER STAMPS.
Extent of the Rush TO Anticipate
the Tari fl Act.

Mr.. Forman, Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue. says that returns to his office
indicate that during the week preceding
the passage CT the tariff bill there were
sold in the large cities where the most eX
tensiye breweries are located about S5,-
o00, 900 worth OF beer stamps, the stocks
being literally exhausted at all these Of
fices. Had there been more stamps the
probabilities are the brewers would have
taken several additional millions In order
TO reap the advanta ge of the rebate OF Z 1 2
cents on the dollar allowed under the old
law.
Investigation shows that the great
bulk OF the purchases occurred prior to .
O'clock Of Friday night, the ed instant,
and it is therefore hoped the Government
will escape legal controversies with the
brewers in tie principal cities. 1t is
thought there may be few suits TO test
the ruling of Assistant Secretary Howell.

head once more. Devine says he drew
bis revolver and fired one shot In the air

EXCEPT to make them laugh. Devine picked
his helmet up before any OF the crowd
could kick 1t away, then twirled about,
face to face with O'Keefe, and shot him
through the heart O'Keefe died instantly.

take discovered. The hunt for the real

Miss Catlett.

Raleigh, n. C., July 31.-The governor
has Just ordered the negro, who On
Thursday assaulted Miss Mamie Cat
lett in Vance county, brought here to
prevent l-nching. He is now In Jail at

it is not believed that they will be able
to do 50 tonight. A special term of
court has been ordered fol his trial two
weeks from today. This much time is
required for the calling of a special term
OF court in this State.
The sheriff is expected here with his

will have TO pass through Kittrell, the
scene of his crime. Many fear that when

Is acute Inflammation and swelling Of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves Of Smell. This organ is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen In Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into a solid mass, so the air In breathing
cannot circulate between them I; hence
the loss of smell. TheCatarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsIs have
become a corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach TO the seat of the disease
between these folds OF the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
