also reported that the italian officer attached
to the new gendarmerie, who went to Kisa-

He fully confirms the dispatches of several

that the Mohammedan Inhabitants had been

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures piles
Quickly, Painless1y, Without
Danger.

People go along for years suffering
with piles. They try this and that
and the other thing; from carrying
a buckeye to getting treatment from
a physician. They obtain temporary
relief, maybe, but they are never quite
cured. A little strain in lifting. eX-
cessive fatigue, a little constipation
or little diarrhoea and the piles come
back
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they Danish sleep and appetite.
No position is comfortable. There is
intense local pain and that dreadful
feeling Of weight in the perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some OF
the many salves on sale will afford
temporary relief. If the case is Of long
standing there is only one speedy and
sure remedy. 1t is Pyramid Pile Cure.
Even in light cases it is the safest
thing to use. Other applications NAV

always certain, always reliable, al

Her Abdication, Says Palmer. Is Null
and Void.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-Julius A.
Palmer, the representative of ex-Queen
LiHuOkalani, in a card to the Evening
Star today, declares that the act Of
abdicatiOn Of the ex-queen was pro-
cured under duress and is void for this
reason and because Of legal inforrnali-
ties. He says that the queen of Ha-
wall has never given a legal abdication,
and is still the lawful ruler, even if
she fOrbears to enforce her legitimate
rights" 1t is believed that LiIiuoka-
lani inspired the card. At the Hawaiian
legation it was read with interest. but
without concern, and is here regarded
simply as an expression from a royalist
standpoint Of an eventful episode in
Hawaiian history, but as not at all like
ly to have any practical influence.
Mr. Palmer's card was called
forth, as he explains, by the
publication in the Star recently
of the queens abdication. He
refers to that document as "a brief
drawn by Hon. A. S. Hartwell, chief
counsel for the corporation of sugar
planters and lawyers now posing as
the Hawaiian Republic'-having no le-
gal force whatever, void when written
and which could not be sustained in
any court Of equity in any civilized
land"
He further says that the queen was
forcibly confined in the LoIani palace.
and being told that those she loved,
her personal friends, We're awaiting ex-
ecution, signed the act Of abdication as
the only means to save them. "The
ring of adventurers knew their victim"
says Mr. Palmer Had they proposed
her immediate DEATH they could not
have terrified her, but to save those
she loved she executed the document" I"

0IERRTrTs GET HALF A MILLION.
Suit Against Rockefeller Is Said to
Be Compromised,

DULUTH, Minn., Feb. 12.-The case
OF Alfred Merritt VS. John D. Rookie
feller is reported to have been settled
for $5O0,000 in cash paid to Merritt. 1t
is understood here that all the members
OF the Merritt family who had claims
against Rockefeller have joined in the
settlement. The total claims would ag-
gregate four of five millions.
In the Alfred Merritt case, a verdict
for $940,0 900 was secured in June 1895,
but a new trial was ordered. A. A.
Harris & Son instituted the case and
fought it through, but a rupture be-
tween the Merritts and Harris took
place some weeks ago, and J. L. Wash
burn, who was associated in the case,
is supposed to have made the settle
ment. Lon and Alfred Merritt are now
III Guadalajara, Mexico, where they
have investments, and it is said that
the entire family will move down there
The case crew out Of the change IN
the ownership Of the Mountain Iron
and other Mesaba mines from the Mer-
ritts to Rockefeller and his associates
plaintiff claiming to be grossly defraud-
ed in the deal that formed the Lake
Superior Consolidated mines. The Mer-
ritts alleged that Rockefeller, through
his private secretary, F. T. Gates, at
one time q Baptist minister in Mime
aF5iis, rIfisrepresented to them the
standing and value of Gogebic and Gu
ban iron mine stocks that We're put
into the consolidation by the Rookie
feller interests, and that Rockefeller
broke his agreement by demanding
bonds Of the Lake Superior company
instead Of stock, as arranged. The
jury IN the United States circuit court
evidently agreed with Merritt, for it
gave him a verdict Of $940, ,000-about
S130,000 less than he demanded The
case went to the United States court
Of appeals, and was finally remanded
for new trial, errors Of the trial court
being suggested.
The case is of considerable present i'll
terest, as the Mountain Iron is now
sought by the state and is the basis
of the cut in steel rail prices that has
50 stirred the trade the past few days.
The Merritts admit that there has
been talk of a settlement, but will not
say definitely that one is concluded
They deny absolutely any thought Of
moving to Mexico.
