WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-It is under

requesting a speedy settlement of the claim
for indemnity in behalf of Victor II. Nc
Cord, an American citizen, who was i'll
treated by the Peruvian officers while in
charge of railroads in that country during
a rebellion. The present Peruvian minister
came to this country with the expressed
purpose of settling this claim, and has re-

facts in the case The department, how

the presentation of the case made through
its own minister and agents, and so has
fallen back on the strong note sent last

creeps, stealthily out to bury the dead and
mangled body of his victim inspires men
with horror and dread. There is murderer
abroad who yearly Stays one-sixth of all the
human race who go down to untifnely deaths
This dread monster is called consumption
The approach of consumption is slow and
insidious. First there is a slight disorder
of the digestion. The appetite is poor and
the nourishing properties of the food are not
properly assinlilated The blood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins to starve.
Old tissues of the body are not properly re-
placed by new. The lung tissues are not
properly nourished and are inert and half
dead. In this condition they offer a good
soil for the germs of consumption which
invade and attack them
This operation is promptly reversed by
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery 1t
invigorates the digestion and appetite and
makes assimilation perfect. 1t builds up
and purihes the blood. 1t makes new and
healthy tissue to replace the old, inert mat

Illinois Miners.

STREATOR, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-Great interest
was manifested in the miners convention
to-day. The fact that a settlement had
been made at Carbon Hill and Braceville
will have a tendency, it is thought. to
bring about a settlement in the entire north
ern Illinois field. Many delegates came in
strllcted to stand out for the Springfield
scale. National President Ratchford will
endeavor to bring about a compromise
scale, which will be an advance of 10 cents
over the scale adopted here last May and
only cents below the Springfield scale
After a session lasting well into the night
the convention adjourned until tomorrow
probable that the convention will submit a
