There is more Catarrh in this section of
country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local trea: ment. pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful
1t acts directly on the blood and mucous

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle etforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene.
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
: may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
wcll-informcd everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--The expect
ed conference between Secretary Alger
and Mr.. Sifton, the Canadian minister
did not take place yesterday. Secre-
tary Alger had overrated his strength
and found that he was not sufficiently
recovered from his illness 10 undertake
the work of arranging details Of the re-
lief expeditions. The Canadian visitors
are to remain in Washington for a few
days, however, so that the conference is
simply postponed for a short time.
Captain Brainard has been author
lied to issue the advertisements for the
supplies that are to be carried on the
relief expeditions. They probably will
appear in newspapers in Chicago, Sc
attic, Portland and San Francisco. The
list Of articles to be carried has been
arranged with the greatest care by the
Quartermaster's department after con-
sultation with Surgeon General Stern
berg only the most vitally necessary
food articles, which combine resistance
70 cold and decay, with great nutritive
value, being selected. The list is as fol-
lows:
List No. incAldes absolutely indis-
pensable articles and is made up of
bacon, -four. peameal, desiccated onions

noticed that in food value onions are
set ahead Of potatoes and that tea is
taken instead OF coffee. Both potatoes

first list IL there Is accommodation for
them. This list is dried fruits (apples
prunes or raisins), desiccated potatoes
and coffee. If the transportation facili-
ties are equal to still further load
then the articles in list No. 3 will be
added. as follows: Fresh meat in cans
sugar and tobacco.
From the advices Of the Canadians, Il
is likely that Skagguay will be choser
instead OF Dyea as the terminal por'
of the relief expeditions. The reason
for this choice is said to be the fac
that Skagguay has wharves at which
the ships can discharge cargo dEectly
while at Dyea there is nothing bu
lighters to land the goods.

1T is reported that a japanese feet

The japanese fleet, II IS understood. is

the British fleet has anchored at Port

that the Japanese fleet has also arrived
at Port Hamilton.
A dispatch 70 The Times from Kobe,
Japan, says the dissolution OF the diet
has greatly angered the political par

Ito, former premier and Count Okuma,
a former foreign minister, Will form a
coalition ministry. with q vigorous for

prevails at the military and naval de-
pots. and warships are assembling at

sary owing to the deficits caused by
the late war Parliament would have

Count OlSuma. however the leader OF
the Progressists, left the foreign office,
says the correspondent, with an en-
hanced reputation and next to Marquis
Ito occupies the largest space In the
field OF the nations vision.

next two days. and that there was no
doubt the two governments could make
arrangements which would be mutually
beneficial in extending relief to the
Klondilxers. The minister's attention
was called to reports that Canada
might not be willing to cooperate in
the use of the military arrangement
of the government, as provided by the
bill which recently became law.
He said. however, that he apprehend-
ed no difficulty In that direction. as the
only purpose OF the two governments
was to effect the relief in the most
feasible way possible. There appears
to be no desire on the part OF the Ca
madam officials to interpose any tech
nical obstacles to the execution Of the
relief measures, and for this reason
IL is expected a satisfactory arrange
ment win be reached within the next
two days
