The 7hunderer DespGfrs of General
arbitration Treaty.
LONDON, Enc, Sept. 20.-The Times
this morning says: The statement of the
American press that the State Depart
ment at Washington and the British En-
bassador have received instructions to re-
open negotiations for a general treaty of
arbi ira ton is at least premature.
1t is probable that the negotiations,
which have never been broken off, may be
resumed next month when Sir Julian
Pauncefote returns TO his post; but 1: is
dificuIt to see how treaty of any practi-
cal value can be concluded so long as the
SENATE maintains the hostile and obstruc-
tive attitude it displayed when IL last dis
cussed the question.
Sir Julian Pauncefote will return TO his
post in time for the conference Of the sre-
cisl Bering Sea Com m ission, 10 be held a
the end of October or the beginning OF
November Professor Percy Thompson
is now en- route for home. and will start
for Washington next month.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Sept. 20. = Edward
Bellamy, author of Looking Backward
and Equality" is very sick man. The
famous writer, with his wife, children
and brother. were in Chicago to-day, en-
route to Colorado, where it is hoped
relief will be found for his disease, which
appears to be fast developing to con-
sumption. Owing to his excessive labor
on his latest success, Equality" and the
close confinement necesstated thereby,
Bellamy has become almost a physical
wreck.
Friends of the family call it bronchial
trouble, but the emaciated appearance of
the man, who was scarcely able to stand
unassisted as he continued his journey
last night, indicates that the dread disease
has taken deeper root.

MASS MEETING
or Laboring Men Held at Scranton. Pa
The Iattimer Killing Denounced.

SCRANTON. Pa, Sept. 2O.-Narly 5000
laboring men, the majority miners and
mine laborers, attended a mass meet
ing at Nay Aug park Sunday, called
by the Central Labor union to protest
against the Lattimer killing. The
gathering was quiet and orderly.
Among the eight speakers were
Hugh O'Donnell, the Homestead labor
leader and George Chance, of Philadel-
phia. of the United Labor league. They
denounced the Lattimer shooting as
wanton murder, brutal outrage and
massacre, but suggested law as the
present remedy and organization as
/ the safeguard of the future. The
company store system, the importation
of cheap foreign labor and the encour-
agement of race prejudices were given
as the main causes of the recent out
break. Resolutions of considerable
length, blaming Sheriff Martin and his
posse and criticising Gen. Goblin for al
legged unwarranted interference with
civil law, were adopted.

warrior and administrator, who car
ried his victorious arms on one side

HIGH DEATH RATE
AT Havana From Yellow Fever, Dysentery
and Other Diseases.

AT havana FROM yellow FeVer, DySenUery
and Other Diseases.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-In his week
ly report to the Marine hospital serv-
ice Sanitary Inspector Drummer at Ha-
vana says that for the week ended Sep
TENDER 9 there were 1876 deaths, of
which Is were from yellow fever, 90
from enteric and pernicious fevers, 81
from dysentery and So from enteritis.
The inspector says the decline in deaths
from yellow fever is only apparent,
many deaths from that disease he
thinks being placed under the head of
enteritis and enteric fever. At the
same time there are not as many cases
of yellow fever in the military hos
pitfalls as there were two months ago,
the soldiers who were sick being cared
for in the hospitals elsewhere.
For two weeks, according to the city
mortality reports, no deaths from yell
low fever have occurred in the city
proper; this condition he says, does not
exist.
The enormous death rate from en-
teritis and dysentery, the inspector
says, is result of the lack of nutri-
tious food and the deaths from these
diseases have not yet reached high
water mark.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, consul general to Cuba, had
a long consultation with the president
at the white house Saturday. 1t was
the first time Gen, Lee had seen Mr..
Mckinley since the formers return to
this country about fortnight ago. He
saw the president by special appoint
ment, and all visitors were excluded
during the progress of the
conference. except Secretary Alger
who came over from the war depart
ment and remained until after Gen.
Lees departure The conference was
a long one, lasting almost two hours.
Gen. Lee carefully reviewed the situa-
ton in Cuba, and explained at length
all points upon which either the presi-
dent or Secretary Alger asked fO1
information. Gen. Lee gave his
own views very freely to the presi
dent, but after the interview was very
reticent about the nature of the report
he had made. He said the president
had not given him an outline of his
policy 1t is evident, however, that
the president is deeply impressed with
the critical character of the situation
in Cuba as described by Gen. Lee, as il
is understood that at the conference he
strongly urged Consul General Lee tC
retain his Office, at least for the pres
ent, and to return to Havana at hi!
earliest convenience.

ence between its strength and action and
the strength and action of j. H. Zeilin
81 Co.'s Liver Regulator and the Chatta-
nOoga Medicine CO.. "Plack Draught," both
of which contain Woody Bulbs of Roots and
Stems of Herbs, and have sold at about 6
cents per package, and should not retail at
over 10 cents IL consumers are not imposed
upon, while DR.. NJ. A. Simmons Liver Medi-
cine, made from the pureSt and most care
fully selected Drugs, regardless of cost, with
the Bulbs of the Roots and Stems of the
Herbs by our secret process extracted and
thrown away, cannot be sold at less than %
cents. The reason of the difference is this:
On June 30th, 1898, the Supreme Court
enjoined J. H. Zeilin & Co. from manufact-
uring and selling medicine under the name
Of "Dr. Simmons Liver Medicine"
Zeilin's answer to our bill said, the medi.
cine was designed as "cheap negro medi-
cine for the negroes of the Mississippi Val
ley" And Zeilin's manager testified in the
case, and Zeilin's advertisements said "that
all the Liver Medicine they make is made by
the same formula" What more conclusive
evidence could there be that all their Liver
Medicine is "cheap negro medicine?"
Again, the United States Court, in the
Zeilin case at Knoxville, Tenn, enjoined the
old proprietors of the article now called
''Black Draught" from perpetrating fraud
by using the words constituting our trade
name, and BLACK Draught' was not known
till after 1875; yet they falsely advertise that
it was established in $780, and fitch our trade
by allowing their customers to untruthfuliy
represent it as the same as our genuine arti-
Gle, they giving color of truth to the de.
ception by publishing the picture of DR..
Simmons on their wrapper, thereby asso-
ciating their article with our DR.. NJ. A. Sim
mons Liver Medicine, which he established
in 1910, and every package of which has
borne his picture since 1880.
