The Relations Of the Two Are Such That
. War May Follow.
SAN FRANCISCO, March .. The long
overdue schooner Vine, which left this
city on q trading trip to the South Sea
islands last June. has arrived i'll port,
with important news from the South
seas, regarding a possible war between
Japan and Spain.
Captain Luttrall brought advices
from the Caroline islands of happen
ings which may involve Spain in IN
other war, this time with the ambitious
Japanese. The natives on the Buk
islands, a part of De Caroline group,
which belongs to Spain. are very Zero.
cious when foreigners attempt to land,
and all trading with the islanders
must DO done by other natives. The
islanders are almost all c%annibals.
They refuse to become civilized and
wear no clothing. A number of Japan
csc traders bave recently established a
prosperous business with the more
peaceable islanders, but when they at.
tempt to go inland they have been
fiercely opposed. Just before the Vine
left the Caroline islands, q dozen or
more Japanese traders were massacred
by the islanders without pr%ovocation.
The remaining traders sent the news to
the Japanese government and have
asked for a war vessel to subjugate the
inhabitants Of the Spanish islands.
The general belief at Kasais, when
the Vine left was that O war would
follow, as the Japanese covet the
islands. and are generally understood
to be DESTROYS Of having colonies
throughout the South seas. It 10 sur.
missed that Japan will attempt to sub.
jugate the islands and ~colonize them
irrespective of Spain.

TWO MEN L
Philadelphia Experienced q Fatal and

Costly Fire.
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-The big
powerhouse Of k:e Union Traction
company at the junction of Thirteenth
and Mt. Vernon streets and Ridge
avenue was destroyed by fire during
the night. Nearly all the costly dyna-
mos and other electric machinery will
be a total loss. Two men lost their
lives and several others were slightly
injured. A. A. Binder, aged about 30
years, was knocked down and run over
by a fire engine, and another man
whose body has not yet been identified,
was killed by a falling wall. Tho
damage from the fire will amount to
about $3.50, 900, fully covered by insur-
ance. Nearly all of the principal
trolley lines in the city are tied up as
thoroughly as they were in the month
of December, 1895, when the street car
strike was declared.

His First Story.

A certain author, now we'll known to
fame and fortune, once in the battle
for bread wrote a wild Indian story
for a northern story paper. That was 10
years ago, and to the story he gave his
real name. He received a fat check for
1t. but year after year went by and-the
story never appeared. 1t finally passed
from his remembrance, until the other
day, when be received a letter from the
publishers informing him that it would

Boston, March By an explosion
Of gas in the subway at the intersec-
ton OF fremont and Roylston streets,
five persons were killed and a dozen or
more were injured. An electric car
which was almost directly over the
center OF the spot where the explosion
took place was wrecked and set on fire.
1t is thought that the explosion was
caused by a defective electric light,
which ignited escaping gas. One Of the
killed was Rev, w. \. Start, bursor of

Women get plenty of sympathy after they
are dead. Tom Hood made a very pathetic
picture in his Bridge Of Signs" but the
probabilities are that the woman needed
sympathy a great deal more before she died
than she did afterwards. Thousands of wo-
men are enduring much worse things thu n
death. The most distressing thing about it
all is that 1t is needless.
Uterine troubles are considered we'll nigh
incurable. Women seem to think that they
must go on bearing these things forever. To
be sure, some OF them make an effort to get
we'll by going to their physicians, but thou
sands are deferred from this, both because
they have seen that it was not likely TO do
much good, and because they knew that the
first thing the physician would insist upon
would be the examinations and local treat
ment SO justly sbhorrent to every modest
woman. These things are generally as un-
necessary as they are distasteful. Every
woman can be made strong and healthy by
the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t is a most marvellous medicine for
all forms of female weakness and disease.
1t is a wonderful purifier and cleanser. 1t
acts directly on one set of organs, and on no
other, but in doing this, it frequently cures
troubles that were seemingly of an entirely
different character and origin. A disorder
of the distinctly feminine organs Is likely to
cause all sorts of symptoms, and careless
doctors frequently doctor women for neural
Rla, or dyspepsia, or insomnia, when the real
trouble Is in the organs distinctly feminine.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will make
any woman we'll. Sometimes when disease
has run on so long that the entire system is
debilitated, it is necessary to use in connec-
ton with the prescription" DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, a general tonic,
blood-puri6er, and blood-maker, without an
equal in the world. There Is no case so
severe that these two great medicines will
not cure it. Thousands Of women have
frequently testified to this fact.

A LITTLE DOMESTIC JAR
Dan McQuillan Is in Jail for Dis
turbing the Peace.
STORY TOLD BY HIS WIFE
The Woman Says Her Husband Got
Drunk and Abused Her ShamefuIly.
Flourished an Open Razor.
Will Be Tried To-Day.

Officer ingalls, was called upon early
yesterday morning to arrest Dan Nc
Quillan, who it was said was drunk and
was raising Cain with his wife and
family. The officer responded to the
call and found McQuillan in a drunken
condition and his wife In tears. He
was taken to the city Jail and a charge
of disturbing the peace was placed
against him. He was to have been up
for arrangement at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. but owing to the illness of
Mrs. McQuillan. the prosecuting wit
ness, who was unable to be present, the
case was continued until O'Clock this
afternoon.
A reporter called on Mrs. McQuillan
last evening and heard her version OF
the trouble. The family live in little
cabin on Park avenue, two doors be-
low Ash street. Mrs. McQuillan. in
response to questions, told the follow
ing story:
My husband is bricklayer's helper
and works at the upper works. He laid
off Wednesday morning and began
drinking He first came home with a
bottle of whisky and drank it all. He
then went up town and came back with
another bottle. He kept that up all
day"
How many times did he go UP town
Il can't say exactly how many times,
but | know that hebrought home two
quarts of whisky and drank it all.
don't know whether he drank any when
he was up town or not. When he got
drunk he commenced to abuse me. He
called me vile names and accused me
of acts of infidelity for which he knows
there is not the slightest foundation
When night came he was worse than
ever. All night long he cursed me and
called me opprobrious names, and said
a lot of things that I don't want to
repeat This morning he came out into
the kitchen With an open razor in his
hand. | was sitting in a rocking chair
and he sprang toward me with the
weapon in his hand and grabbed me by
the throat right here where you see
these scratches. l caught his arm and
as | did so he jerked the chair away
and ! fell to the floor At this time one
of the children ran out ana got a neigh
Dor to go for the police. When the of
Ger came he threw the razor behind
some dishes on a table,
How long have you been married 2"
Twelve years. For the past eight
years he has acted this way toward me
every time he gets drunk, and | just
can't stand it any longer When he is
sober he is all right, but when he is
drinking it is next to impossible to get
along with him."
Mrs. McQuillan showed where, during
the scufffe, her dress had been torn,
and also showed some scratches upon
her throat. The family have four chill
dren, the eldest about II years of are
and the youngest a little toddler of
about ?. Mrs. McQullan declares that
she will prosecute her husband on the
charge. McQuillan has retained War
rem w. Goodman to defend him.

MUST HAVE TAGS.
Dog Catchers Will be At Work After the
First.

First.
In response to the suggestion made
in the Standard few days ago. the
authorities are taking prompt steps to-
ward abating the dog nuisance City
Treasurer John r.. Walkup announces
that dog catchers will be put to work
on Jan. |, and all dogs found without
a tag after that date will be i'm
pounded.
Anaconda has always had a very
severe case of too much dog and as
soon as the dog catchers cease work
the dogs spring up on every hand as if
by magic. They crowd the streets and
line the sidewalks. They will flock TO
a certain spot upon the slightest sign
of fight, humping again peoples legs
as they go by. Every day there are
from one to two dozen on Main street,
growing, snarling, yelping. swapping.
They lay around on the sidewalks and
force pedestrians out into the streets in
order TO get around them. Not one
fiftieth part of the dogs in Anaconda
have license tags on. If a dog is worth
having. he is worth paying So a year
on. and the dog that is not worth that,
is better dead.
The prompt action of the authorities
in this matter is commendable. Let it
now be seen TO that all the ours are
treated alike. and every dog that has no
tag be impounded. Heretofore the dog
catching business has been something
of a farce. A few dogs would be taken.
but the major portion. especially those
dogs who make their homes in the cen
trail part of town, and are something of
fayorites, We're unmolested. Mr. Walk
up says that this time there will be
none of this and every dog. ugIy or
handsome. big or little. black or white.
