lators for many months have been
anxious to know. He also ventured q
prediction on the future of May wheat
Our wheat cost ua very near Il
cents" said Mr. French, "and at that
price we think we can afford to take II
In, pay for II, and see what it looks
like. Our position. as we have said
right along, Is simply that of mer-
chandisers, As soon as the deficiency
of supplies and the urgency Of the de

While Mr.. French would give no in
formation as to the size of the line OF
wheat which he represents, he said
I'VE expect that all the wheat we

Washington, Dec. 16.-A caucus of
the Populist members of the House Of
Representatives was held at the Ma
5tional hotel tonight. The following
resolutions were adopted unanimous
ly, except that referring to civil SER
vice:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of this

tisans.
"Resolved. That we ARE opposed to

our Greenbacks and treasury notes,
whether 1t be by direct legislation or
by the subterfuge of refusing to reis-
sue the same, except in exchange for
gold
'Resolved, That we are opposed to
any scheme of charging the powers of
national banks. That we oppose the
comforting of the power to issue notes
designed to have the same functions as
money to any bank, corporation or in

consideration and passage of a joint
resolution recognizing the independence
of the Cuban republic
Resolved, That we are In favor of

London, Dec. 16.-Later details were
received today of the march of Cen.
Westmacotts brigade down the Bara
valley, and they indicate that the OBJ
stacle to the retreat was more serious
than at first supposed. A dispatch
from the Reuter- Telegram company at

The troops had to march in river
bed 500 yards wide, swelled from the
melting snow. on the right We're bush

heights being occupied. The baggage

and the crowds of camp officers, all
mixed in ineXtricable confusion. n

BROADER THAN THE MONROE DOC
TRINE.


City of Mexico, Dec. 16.-Some time
ago when 1t was rumored that Brit
ish warship had seized Clipperton Is
land local papers took the matter up
and there was some agitation over the
reported forcihle occupation of Mex
lean soil The foreign relations de-
partment asked the war department to
send an expedition to the island to in
vestigate if the British had really talk
en- possession. Four days ago the cor
vette El Democratic, Captain Teofoli
Genesa, left Mazatan for the island.
Should it prove true that the island
which Mexico claims as belonging to
her has been seized by the British the
matter viii be taken up automatically
for the purpose of recovering the ter
ritory. Mexico will formally request
the restoration of the island. No one
here expects any serious difficulty over
the matter and there is as yet no def
mite official information in possession
of the report regarding the alleged
seizure of Clipperton.
At the foreign relations department
today it was said that the object of the
expedition was not warlike. but merely
to ascertain the true condition of af-
fairs. The same thing was said at
the war department There is no
disquietude over the matter here. The
newspapers. however, are likely to
make much of the seizure il it turns
out to be n fact, for there is scnti-
ment among Mexican people that Eng
land unjustly acquired Belize or Brit
ish Honduras from this country.
The Mexican Herald, editorially.
says
European nations are looking forward
to the time when by the weakness of
the great Republic, champion of the
Monroe doctrine, they may proceed un-
der one preteXt or another to carve up
South and Central America. If the
American people allow themselves to
be beguiled into unpreparedness for
war they Will assuredly be caught all
unready by the vigilant Europeans and
their sea power destroyed, whereupon
Latin America will be seized as a fox
does fat capon. The same paper re-
marls that Diaas doctrine. which con-
templates the eventful freeing of the
new world from every trace of Eu-
ropean control, Is much broader than
the Monroe doctrine and will become
principle of action in the twentieth
century.

and Morgan left Alice to quiet Matilda.
Alice managed to get out of the house
and hide and 1t was afterwards solely
on her information that Identification

an alarm. Meantime Morgan forced
his way into the room OF old Mrs.

Beware
CT che Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo-.
writes: "For six years have been q
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands OF my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me TO submit to a re
inoval OF the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a dcep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it 10 entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
/ would have escaped years OF misery
and saved over $Iso."
This experience is like that of ali who
suffer with deep-scnted blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the. knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

Drawing Close.

London, Dec. 16,-According to the
st. James Gazette private letters re-
ceived here from Madrid say that Cen
eral Weyler's reception there was sig
nificant. and the government is SO
alarmed by the menaclng attitude of
the populace that artillery has been
stationed at concealed points com
handing the main thoroughfares. The

The widest rumors are current, say
the letters, with reports that prepara-
tions are making for the flight of the
members of the royal family to France
at the first sign of revolution.
