Senator PettigreW Overcome
While Making Vigorous
Tariff Speech.

LONDON, June 26.-The Spectator
publishes long leading article on En-
peror Williams remarks, as recorded
by, the Paris correspondent of the
Times on Monday last. The correspon-
dent reported a conversation affecting
to represent the views of the Emperor,
in the course of which, speaking of his
anxiety as to the future of Europe, he
said that he did not fear Chinese ambi-
ton or the anarchists, but he did fear
the expansion of the great powers and
the Intervention of the United States in
the affairs of the Old World.
The Spectator says: This is so inn
portant that we would give much to
brain. The Kaiser has displayed at
times singular CLEANS of insight. The
facts of the moment appear to justify
his enigmatic saying. The Americans
are exhibiting tendency to depart
from their policy of seclusion and in
terfere very strongly in the affairs of
the Old World.
Continuing, the Spectator instances
Venezuela, Samoa and Hawaii, adding:
And they are apparently going to in
terfere with Spain in the most peremp-
tory manner. If there is any truth in
the account of the instructions given to
General Woodford, the United States
intends to Immediately offer an ulti-
fnatum to Spain by practically refus-
ing her permission to suppress revolt
in her own dominion.
The last event seems to have very
badly impressed the Kaiser, and the
Emperor's remarks throughout dealt
with the perils which it was his object
to avert Does he propose himself to
avert American intervention in the af-
fairs of the Old World? If he does,
President Mckinley must be cautious
in his diplomacy, for the German and
Spanish fleets combined would be more
than match for any fleet America
could produce without an effort which
would tax the resources of the Union,
not in money, but in ships and sailors
The Union is irresistible only ashore,
and Cuba would be a poor reward for
a great and dangerous sea war
1t is not certain that Germany has
not motive for such an alliance, for
the United States, with Monroeism. is
nearly as much in the way of the pow
ers desiring to expand as is Great Brit
ain. Overcrowded Europe finds that the
foreign policy of the United States de-
bars it from colonizing South America
with surplus population. But the nat
ural place for Germans is in South
Brazil, and now that the Government
is in position to direct the tide of i'm
migrants west we should not be sur
prised to see the already powerful col
ony suddenly and amazingly enlarged.

SENATOR PErTIGREw AFFLICTED

Vocal Chords

Suddenly Lost All Control of His
Vocal Chords.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-An abrupt
and startling halt in the tariff debate
occurred in the Senate at 2:3O o'clock
this afternoon, when, in the midst of
a passionate speech, Senator Pettigrew
(Silver R.) of South Dakota was strick-
en- with paralysis of the vocal chords,
which brought his vehement speech to
a close with a sentence half-uttered.
The Senator was not physically in
capacitated, except in the sudden loss
of the power of speech. Although he
took his seat unaided, his associates
felt that grave possibilities were in
volved in such an attack They were
quickly his side, and he was ministered
TO with as little confusion as possible.
Senator Pettigrew went into the
cloak room, and Senator Deboe. who is
a physician, made an examination.
DR.. Blaine was summoned to attend

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The reply
of the Secretary of State to the pro-
test of the Japanese Government
against the annexation of Hawaii has
been forwarded to/the Japanese Lega-

The Legation probably will file a
supplemental statement upon receiving
instructions from the home Govern
ment. 1t is expected that this will take
some time, as the note of the State
Department is worded in a most careful
and diplomatic manner, and its mean
ing is somewhat obscure as to the
points raised by the Japanese officials.

FOUR BOXES DID 1T.
Remarkable Success OF a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for years or
months from the pain and Inconvenience
of that common disorder, piles, will look
with skepticism upon the claims of the
makers Of the new discovery for cure of
all forms of piles. known under the name
of Pyramid Pile Cure: nevertheless the
extraordinary cures performed by this REM
edy are such as to warrant the investiga-
ton of any sufferer. AS a case in point
the following letter speaks for itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas. of sub-station No. 3,
Hosack avenue. Columbus, O., writes as
follows:

Gentlemen:-I want you to use my name
if it will be of any use to you. I was so
bad with the piles that I lost work on that
account: Nothing did me any good. l read
in Cincinnati of the many cures of piles
by the Pyramid Pile Cure, and 1 went to a
drug store and asked for It; The drug clerk
told me that he had something else that he
wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me SO much that I
tried another, and then to complete the
cure used two more boxes. making four
in all. l am now completely cured. Have
not a trace of piles and I had suffered
tluding piles.

found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just
as represented. / have recommended ii to
several of my friends and l am thankful

edy has done for me.
Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure because it contains no opium, co.

because it is SO safe and pleasant to use.

patient is cured in a surprisingly short time
with no inconvenience whatever!
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug

is any constipation It Is well to use the
