A MONETARY BARRIER
Predicted by Vennese as Possibility by
 Americans.

London, Nov 24.-The Vienna corre- spcndant of the Times pelegraphlng with reference to the statement made by Count Goloucllowsh to the Austrian reichsrath regarding his recent speech to the delegations where he pointed out the destructive competition now carried on against us by trans-oeeanic lines" gives the opinion of an exceptionally conpe- tent and well informed friend" that since Lord Sallsbury's rejection of the proposals of the Wolcott monetary com misfon, trade barriers between the Am sr ican and European continents is likely to be forestalied by a monetary barrier raised by America, which would hasten the advance of American prepon- derance."
 The authority cited by the correspon dent of the Times predicts "the adop- ton of the silver dollar as the standard coin from the north pole to the Patagon- ias which would be Q powerful lever in the proposed agreement of Pan-Amerlcan politicians with the United States"

Anti-Catarrh is Subduing those dreadful diseases, ca- tarrh and kindred complaints. It Is just as impossible for cata-rh to exist where Anti-C Catarrh is used as it is for yellow fever to thrive with tine thermometer at zero. This is a strong assertion, but 1t is fact and we have the proofs to substantiate it. There is no disease more common, none more neglected and still it has been one of the most difficult to control. In fact many consider it an incurable complaint :. But the new flask an specific, 'Anti-C -CatarTh, is accomplish ing results that a year ago were said to be impossible. Thus as the wheel of time turns around things that were con- sidered impossible then are easily &C., complished now, and if you continue to suffer with catarrh, bronchitis, tonsilitls. la grippe hay fever qu.nsy or headache you have but yourself to blame as all that is necessary is to reach out your hands and grasp the remedy which boun- tiful nature offers in Anti-Catarrh and rid yourself of a loathsome disease be- fore it has developed into consumption, indigs stion or, cancer of the stomach. Give it a trial. You will not be disap- pointed. It relieves at once and is guar anteed to cure any case either chronic or acute. For sale by all druggist. $1.

 .Weyer Defended.

Havana, Nov. 23-Marshal Blanco, cap- tain general of Cuba. has been author fzdd by the goyernm mt at Madrid to sign credit for $100,0O0 to be devoted to the immediate relief of the suffering p=asants who have been gathered in the vicinity of the towns occupied by Spanish troops as a precautionary meas ure, arnd who have been suffering great f1andships and privation.
 The statements credited to the Mar quis of Apezteguia, leader of the con seIrvative party in Cuba, in interviews in New York, while on his way from Spain via that city, ars producing dlssensions among the followers of the marquis here, particularly his remarks to the eff feet that Gen. Weyler did not deserws the abuse or criticism he has received, etc.
 Such allegations coming from a con- servativts leader who is credited with having brought about the recaM of Wey- ler from Cuba, are resented and recokon- cid as on par with tine utterances and behavior of those who have taken part in the demonstrations in honor of the former captain general of this island. As a reseult 1t is believed an open rupture between tine conservatives and the mar qufs will follow his return here.

ANOTE OF WARNING.
Americas Encroachment in England Pointed
 Out by an Authority

London, Nov. 23.-Hon. T. R. Rltchie. chairman of the board of trade, made an important stalte ement before the chamber Of commerce of Corydon today, taking as his theme the decline of British ex- ports during the last ten months. upon which he hung a grave warming against American competition opposing British trade.
 Nr Rftehie. after declaring that the D.ngley eariff and the engineering trade dispute were mainly responsible for the depression at the ports and after point ing out that England had mo weapons against the tariff, said there was great deal of talk in commercial circles against the serious competition of Germany, bus he thought they were too apt to overlook a more serous competitor, the United States.
 ."The facts are serious." he continued. "and call upon us for the exercise of all our powers to enable us to maintain our position in the commercial world. There is no doubt the United States ane exc cutting oil1ers which ought to be ex7- cuted here. As we all know. an Amerl- can firm obtained the contract for the Central Underground railway (of Lon QUn) as LIS Dlu MdS lOW6T uihaN thpSS OA the English concerns and it could deliv- CT the supplies three months ahead of the British tenders. Many important continental olI-rs alave gone to AmeGi- ca.
 '"Hhe same is to be said of Egypt and Japan, w(heu,e Americans are doing work which Englishmen should asave done. In consequence of engineering di pute many orders are leaving tine country and un- favaratly those cn1ders seldom return.
 "Americas successive comp tition is due to her entetrprise in enbarlEing cap- ital, but it Is yet more due to the free- dom her manufacturies enjoy of employ ing the best machinery and working 1t in the most economical manner, un- impeded by the restrictions which ham, per manufacturers here.

Others of the same group tell us: You sh.ll not contract the currency. nsr shall you permit any substitution in the form Of bank note issues"
 The third group, conTinced of tha wis dom ef refocan-ard reform n9w-and percelving that in natures order every good aequi-ed involves some sacrifice mads, must stanI together in patient persisteney and work along the line of least resistance (for this, too, Is nature or1er) to secure these high ends at which they aim
