WELLER HAS RESIGNED,

NEW YORK, Aug. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana, Cuba, via Key West.
Florida, says: Capt. Gen. Weyler's summer
campaign came to an inglorious end
last Wednesday, when he returned to
this city with rebels firing on his
rear guard all the way from
Aguacate to Havana. The captain general
made a public entry into the capital, but his
reception was chilly. Gen. Weyler cabled
his resignation to Madrid on Thursday. Last
night l saw a copy of the reply he received.
he was told to remain in Cuba as long as
the present ministry holds power. The sus-
pense here is intense, but no excitement ap-
pears on the surface. Gen. Weyler refuses
to discuss the situation with any one. The
captain general who succeeds Gen. Weyler will
have a hard task.
The splendid force of 200. 900 men Spain
placed in Gen. Weyler's hands is, if the truth
be told. now only a tattered remnant. A
tropical sun has proved more destructive than
battles. With the exception of the fortunate
ones stationed in and about Havana, Spanish
soldiers are in a bad way. They have not
received their pay for months. they are weak
from illness and poor feeding. they are badly
clothed and many have no shoes. Their credit
is all but exhausted, and tradespeople will
only furnish supplies under actual force. In
short, the Spanish army in Cuba is not in
clined and not in position to take the often
Siye.

strikers left tonight for the New River
field. 1t looks now like the strike
would soon be at al end in the Kama
wha valley. Less than one-fourth Of
all the miners in the Kanawha valley
east of Charleston were at work to-
day. Consequently there vas prac-
tically a suspension of work. but the
men now seem to be ready to resume.
The coal diggers at Winifrede held
a meeting today and decided by a
large majority-1H to 56-to return
to work Monday. There seems to be
an understanding among the miners
at h river front between Montgom-
erv and Mount Carbon to return to
work Monday. From information re-
ceived from the New River field, 1t Is
believed that Dileher and his asso-
eiates will have but little success in
that region.

The presence of John Washburn in Kansas
City has given rise to the report that Min
neapolis millers are going to that city for
supplies of winter wheat to be ground into
flour and sold for spring wheat flour. The
leading millers of this city, including Charles
A. Pillsbury. A. c. Lor:ng and others, de-
MED the story most emphatically. The wired
tale thhat there is a shortage of wheat in
Minneapolis is characterized as untrue, as
there are millions of bushels of that grain in
the elevators here.

THE STAR,
But His Work at ST. Louis Is Out
done by an Amateur.


ST LOUIS, Aug. 1.-THE initial bicycle
race meeting given at Southside park today
by the United Wheeling clubs of st. Louis, a
new organization, was a success. A. A. Zim-
Norman, the ex-champion world rider, had
much to do with drawing out the crowd, which
numbered five or six thousand people. Zim-
Norman, the star of the programme, was a
disappointment, however. Paced by Stad.
Harding and Corfe, on a triplet, Zimmerman
went for an exhibition half. He rode in 56
seconds. Garfield. a local amateur, well
paced by a tripIet ridden by amateurs, went
against the state halftr1fle record of 81 sec
onds- He clipped off two seconds. Zimmerman
was better paced in his exhibition mile. He
rode behind a trfpIet and a tandem and made
the mile in 1:59, Garfield attempted to break
the state mile amateur record, but failed by
one second. There were only two profess
sional events. In the mile open, professional,
p. E. Anderson, of Roodshouse, IL, finished
first. Dute Cabanne protested the race. His
ground was that the pacemakers were in
structed to keep the rail, but on one turn
took the outside and carried Cabanne, who
was riding behind, out with him. Anderson
gave notice that he would take the matter to
the l.. A. w. racing board.
The two-mile handicap was won by Bert
Harding, a local man.

swimming Match on Account OF
Weather
The swimming race which was sched-
uled for yesterday afternoon, came off
in spite of wind and rain. The event
which was to have been a contest be-
tween four men, Mcdonald, of Mon
treal; Connors, of California; Forester,
of Chicago. Wint1y of this city, was
started at $50 o'clock, while a smart
rain was falling. Wintry, the local
a came in an eas WHINE amid the
cheers of a small but enthusiastic
GROVE on the pavilion. A short time
before 5, the time set for the race, a
heavy rain came up and continued in
intervals for the next half hour. AS
the participants were all anxious to
start, they were rowed out in the rain
and the gun was fired at about $50.
The distance was $50 yards. The men
struck up a rapid pace which seemed
to be too hot for Connors, the California
man, and he came in a poor fourth.
Wintry, the local man. had a hard
fight with the Canadian boy, Mcdonald,
but easily beat him out at the finish.
The time was five minutes and twenty
seconds. Owing to the weather the
crowd which witnessed the event vas
rather small.

AMERICAN SUPREMACY IN ELEC-
TRICAL APPLIANCES.

The Journal has already stated the fact
that the exports of electrical apparatus
from the United States in the last few
months have amounted to over $2,0O0.00O,
but it is interesting enough to justify some
amplifcation. The first impression sug
gested by the statement is that we Ameri
cans must have made greater progress in
electrical inventions and their application
to practical uses than other people, and
that seems to be true. 1t is particularly so
in the matter of electrical engineering and
the development Of electric power. Electro
cal transportation in the form of street and
suburban railroads has made far greater
progress in this country than it has ia Eu-
rope. Only the large cities in Europe have
yet got beyond omnibuses or other forms
of animal transportation, and in the most
progressive cities American appliances are
common. The nearer a European city gets
in its electric street railroad plant, equip
ment and service to an American city the
happier 1t is and the more progressive it is
regarded. although they do not always put
the fact in this blunt way. The latest de-
tailed statement issued by the Bureau of
Statistics at Washington shows. under the
head OF Instruments and apparatus for
scientific purposes. including telegraph.

umns Of the syndicate press in describing
in detail how she mastered her Gladys"
and. after the usual number of falls and
perious adventures, was able to ride boldly
about the streets OF Evanston and no man
could make her afraid. She was tender and
affectionate with the women at the recent
w. C. T. U. convention at Buffalo, and
cheered their hearts by telling them she
was going out in the highways and byways
to pick up half million dollars or so to
buy back an interest in the 'Woman's
Temple" of Chicago, but this was an of
fetal matter. 1t was not until she returned
to Chicago that her sweetly confiding ma
ture was again disclosed. She made her
first appearance at a temperance meeting
in Willard Hall, and in the course of her re-
marks spoke of the need of clear brains
For herself, she said she had been helped
greatly during the last six months, because
in that time she had ''eaten only nonbilious
foods" This information, it must be con-
fessed, is at first trifie confusing. Most
people are more or less familiar with food
having such attributes as sogginess, heav-
mess sadness and the like, but are not
accustomed to regard any of their viands
as bilious They themselves may be bilious,
but it is a new idea that their bread and
meat and potatoes are similarly afflicted.
However, it is possible that Miss Willard,
in her haste to announce her victory over
bile, said ''nonblious'' when she meant
'anti-bilious." She knew the Chicago peo-
pie whom she addressed were a dyspeptic
lot and in her anxiety to show them a way
of relief did not stop to choose her words.
Unfortunately, she stopped short of telling
them what the nonbilious food was of which
she had partaken with such gratifying re-
suits, and until she discloses this secret the
public must stumble along in ignorance, ac-
cumulating more bile every day. 1t may
be assumed that for one thing she did not
use beer as a beverage during the six
months, it having been said by persons
who have tried it that beer is an active
promoter of biliousness. But what did she
eat and what did she drink? Any doctor
WILL application and the payment of
suitable fee, promptly give list of articles
that a patient who would rise superior to
bile may and may not eat but as no two
doctors will give the same lists, and as no
patient ever had faith enough in any such
prescription to follow it, the consequence is
that that bile-secreting organ, the liver.
continues to cast a gloom over life in Chi
cago and some other places. 1t has re-
manned for Miss Willard to prove that the
liver can be conquered. She says she has
done it. In her next speech she will doubt
less tell waiting world just what she has
eaten in the last six months, and her bilious
hearers, inspired by her glorious example,
will go straightway and make out like
bill of fare

OUR EXHIBIT AT PARIS IN 1900.

For once the United States has begun in
rope. On former occasions of the kind the
exhibits made by this country have so in
adequately represented its industries that
American visitors were indignant and
ashamed. The poor displays gave foreign
ers the right to belittle our products and
our enterprise and to speak of us with
scorn Commercial advantages were also
lost in this way. 1t would indeed have been
better in some respects had no exhibits
been made at all than that they should
have been so incomplete. The majority of
people in this country took little thought
on the subject because they did not see the
deficiencies with their own eyes, and could
not, therefore, be reused to action. The Cen
tennial exposition was an enlightener in
this respect, showing the multitude for the
first time, as it did, what an industrial ex-
hibit might mean. The influence of the ex-
position was not lost, and when, nearly
twenty years later, the Columbian exposi-
ton at Chicago was planned the public was
eager to cooperate. That magnificent dis
play was again an educator. 1t taught
Americans not only what their own posi-
bilities and achievements were in arts,
sciences and industries, but the foreign ex-
hibits showed them how important the peo-
pie of other countries considered it that
proper showing of their respective products
be made Space to the extent of two hun
dred thousand square feet has been en-
gagged for the use of the United States at
the Paris exposition of 1900. Our manufac-
turers will no doubt prepare to utilize it to
the best advantage. They may not indi-
vidually be especially concerned for the in
dustrial reputation of their country to be
gained in this way, though they should
possess this patriotic pride, but they are be-
ginning to realize as never before their pos
siblities in the way of commercial compe-
tition, and for their own benefit are not
likely to permit the advertising opportunity
to be lost. Luckily, too, Major Handy. the
commissioner appointed by President Nc
Kinley to promote American interests on
this occasion, is a public-spirited, energetic
and experienced man. and his efforts,
abetted by the general Disposition to COM
pete, will probably bring about for the first
time a display of American goods in Eu-
rope of which Americans can be proud.

PROGRESS In MEDICINE.

In the current issue of the Medical Rec
ord is a significant editorial, in which the
remedies of ancient and modern times are
contrastcd. 1t shows that medical prac-
tce to-day is discarding more and more the
use of drugs and is placing more reliance
in natural agencies. 1t also recognizes that
each person possesses separate individu-
atty and must be treated as such, instead
of old, when the same drugs were pre-
scribcd for the same disease without con-
siderng the difference of temperament and
disposition. The Record says that the in
telligent doctor of to-day studies the char
acter and temperament of his patient in
order to act upon the body through the
mind. Faith, the medical editor declares,
goes a long way, and the battle against
disease is half won when the patient re-
solves in his own mind to get well.
The leaders in medicine in Europe two
hundred years ago would now be treated as
quacks by the Medical Board of Indiana,
judging from the remedies set forth in
book entitled "A Good and Careful Medi-
Gus" by distinguished German physician.
For sores on the lips he recommends the
application of "the oil or fat which runs
out of a wooden spoon when held over the
fire." That may pass but when the learned
medicus prescribes the fastening of "a live
fish. preferably the 'schleye,' around the
body or upon the soles of the feet, and let
it die there one can scarcely imagine that
out of this astonishing superstition the in
telligent practice of medicine at the present
time has come. In view of such remedies
as the above recommended by profession
ais two hundred years ago, it is not cause
for surprise that large part of the people,
many of whom are not ignorant, are yet led
to believe in the SuperStitionS and the
charms Of the illiterate or self-made doctor
or of some alleged Indian, long since dead
but still engaged in practicing medicine by
prescribing remedies through some living
person.
The editor of the Record is so bold as
to express the opinion that medical his
tory has tendency to repeat itself, so that
those who inhabit the earth century hence
will regard our methods of treatment an
tiquated and crude, and possibly supet-
fiuous" He believes that many diseases
which exist now will be stamped out, and
predicts that prevention, not cure, will be
the motto of the future. and that the future
will witness greater triumphs in the science
of curing or escaping disease than have yet
been seen. If medical boards share the sem
timents of the editor of the Medical Rec
ord they will be very careful to distinguish
between the practitioner who presents
new treatment and the one whose alleged
remedies are clearly nostrums. 1t will
scarcely do to say that, to be permitted to
try to heal disease, the healer must believe
and follow what is now written in the
books.
