BERLIN, Oct. 6.-The German gov

was nominated By President Mckinley
on May % to be United States consul

LONDON, Oct. 6 -Tbe officials of the
British foreign Office have communi-
Gated to the United States ambassador,
Col. John Hay, the final decision that
the government of Great Britain must
refuse to take part in any sealing con-
ference with representatives of Russia
aud Japan. The British government,
however, asserts its willingness to con.
fer with the United States alone, but it
| insists that Russia and Japan are not
interested in the BehriDg Sea seals to a
degree emitting them to representation
at the conference. 1t is thought
probable in London that Great Britain's
withdrawal will result 10 two meetings,
one between the United States, Russia
and Japan and the other between the
United States, Great Britain and
Canada. The withdrawal of Great
Britain from the Washington conference
is due to Cansda'g insistance out OF fear
of being outvoted.

The Luetgert Trial.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-The taking of ties.
timony in tine Luetgert trial moved
with refreshing rapidity to day. The
mystifying technical scientific disserta-
tions of astrological experts gave place
to short crisp impescbing testimony.
The reputation of Matt Scholey, who
testified that he saw Mrs. Luetgert in
Kenosha on May and 4, was attacked
and witnesses followed each other up
on the witness stand rapidly to say
they would not believe Scholey under
oath. Several of the witnesses were
not of high order of intelligence. The
word "veraoity" foored one of them
completely. 1t is expected that the
prosecution will spring surprise upon
the defense by producing the woman
who was seen in Kenosha and identified
by means Of a photograph as Mrs. Luet-

IT APPEARS from the New York
newspapers that Mr.. Low, the so.called
citizens candidate for Mayor OF that
now enlarged city, was nominated by
the so.called Cleveland democracy"
thereof and is really their candidate
and theirs alone. 1t seems certain that
all the New York newspapers that
supported Mr.. Cleveland in his effort
to defeat the democratic ticket last fall
are now supporting Mr.. Low. If this
be so, it is only natural to suppose that
Mr.. Low will receive light vote, as
most intelligent and unprejudiced
voters, unless bribed, are opposed to
mugwumps, whose utter selfshness and
hypocricy have now become apparent
to every man who keeps his eyes open
and knows what is going on around
him. The average white voter respects
political opponents who are bold and
manly enough to try to effect their OBJ
iects openly and above board, but des-
pises those who attempt to attain theirs
by false pretenses.

CAPTAIN LURTY, the defeated candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomination
of the Lynchburg convention, has here
tofore been supposed to be very pleas
ant gentleman, but that supposition is
no longer tenable, as be has expressed
the hope that those who cheated him
may have "snakes to 60 to bed with
them, aud the devil to rise with them"
He evidently must be as mild hammered
a man as ever cut throat or scuttled o
ship. But that his intellectuals are all
right, is proved by the fact that he also
says ''if the Virginia republicans want
fair elections they ought to commence
in their OWE conventions"

No MAN familiar with human nature
believes that the people of foreign
countries, no matter how much they
have been provoked by the assump-
tions, aggressions and tariffs of this
one, will be deferred from buying
goods here if they can save money by
doing so; but it is just as true that all
such men know that exports from the
United States must necessarily be re.
stricted by tariff that compels foreign
merchants who order American goods
to pay for them with scarce gold. in
stead of with the plentiful products
of their own countries.

THE AMER1cAss-for that term now

THE AMERICANs-for that term now
is applied exclusively to the people OF
the United States, though why so. no.
body can tell-who live in Central
America, and the value of whose prop
erty there would be greatly enhanced
by the annexation of that portion ofthe
continent to this country, have been
stimulated by the favor the scheme for
the annexation OF the Sandwich Issands
receives from the administration, with
the hope that it may stretch out its
hands to their adopted countries also.
Their hope is not SO wild as some
people suppose, for as the administra'
ton favors the project OF taxing the
people to raise one hundred million
dollars with which to build canal
through Nicaragua, it would be only
natural for it to desire jurisdiction over
the territory in which it wants to spend
80 much government money. But
many people in this country, and
among them some of the most intelll-
GENT. have reached the condition in
which they don't care whether the pol
lev of the government be in favor OF
filibustering or annexation; they know
thew will be taxed all the same, and
that it will be useless for them to pro-

ONE, AND evidently the more nu-
merous, wing of the Virginia republi.
cans having nominated a full State
ticket against the one the democrats
have nominated, the other wing must
vote for it, or else prove recreant to the
principles and policies it processes to
support, and, in the latter case, lose the
countenance of its political allies in all
the other States, if not that Of the adj
ministration. Of course Mr.. Hanna

Ex.CoNGREssMAN WHITE of Ken
lucky, republican, says Chat, as be-
tween the gold democrats and the sill
yer men, his sympathies are with the
latter, because the gold men, while
avowing republican principles, have
not the courage to come into the repub-
lican party" That's just what most
people think, though many of them
don't deem it worth while to say 30.
Democrats as we'll as republicans would
have better opinion of the boilers if
they were to come out openly for high
tariff and negro domination, instead of
doing so covertly, as they did last year
and are still doing.

No mystery aboutit. When the Shak.
ers offered some time ago to give away
a bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at
their New York Office, there was a
great rush and great many people
thought they were crazy.
Subsequent events proved it to have
been very clever advertising transac'
ton, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it y as in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took
free bottle came back for more and
paid for it with pleasure, saying they
had derived better results from its use
than from any other medicine they had
ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly sue
cessful in the treatment of stomach
troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cor.
dial, and what is better than all, it re-
lieves at once.
