not exactly doing this kind
of business we are offering
Schoenberger's SOFT STEEL
horse shoes at the same price
as you can get ordinary iron
shoes for. This brand of
horse shoes is universally
admitted to be unriValled
in every respect. The extra
fine material, and superior
Workmanship recommend
them to evey farrier who
prides himself on his work.
The general shape of the
shoe fulfils the latest and
most approved ideas of prac-
teal horseshoers. They are
smooth and uniform, the
concave is made to conform
to the horses hoof; the
creasing neat, punching clean
and properly done, and they
are in short, the finest and
best shaped and cheapest
shoes on the market.
In the matter of nails, you
can have a choice of Putnam
Champlain or Lighth lIg
brands. The last named is
quite a new brand. but has
quickly worked its way to
the front, through pure
merit.

In our japanese case, the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs has already
explained at great length to the
Press the position of the Govern
ment. He has quoted to some ex-
tent from the correspondence. We
know that the Minister, in the
early days of this dispute, declared
that ''it would not amount to any
thing" and we hope it will not.
But it is, after all, taking a some
what serious aspect, and there are
a good many intelligent people here
who would like to understand the
case fully. We do not believe that
there is man living here who can
today give at once full, clear
and reliable statement of the case
in its various bearings.
When we, of the Press, are
called upon by people in the United
States to explain thismatterto them,
because they are interested in our
affairs, we must reply with some
modification: eve cannot ex-
plain fully. The facts in the case
are not out in full, and as for the
reasons which the japanese give
for their demand on us, our Gov
eminent really cannot trust us with
them, so if you misunderstood the
case and take view hostile to us
in the matter, it is because our
Government keeps us and YOU in
the dark"

Malt

THE BEST WAY to build up the
wrecked and torn down physical
forces is by taking a preparation of
Malt which will in no way work an in
jury to any organ of the body. MALT
MURINE is acknowledged by the
Medical Profession as being the best
preparation of Malt on the market.

Murine

YOU MUST NOT THINK that you
are obtaining a stimulating beverage
in taking MALT MURINE. 1t con-
tains less than 2 per cent of alcohol,
and will not intoxicate.
1T IS A PURE Extract Of Malt in a
palatable and convenient form.
PERSONS TAKING MALT NU-
TRINE invariably increase in flesh.

Whether these differences with
Japan will aid the great cause, we
do not know, because we cannot
get at the merits of the contro-
versy. He is wise man who can
predict the course of events when
sentiments are involved. He is, in
deed, a wise man who can say, after
reading the eccentric history of
public opinion in America for the
last fifty years, what course it will
take. SO General Grant found out,
so the men who favor the Mica
ragua Canal will find out.

Dom Paul Danes Brltlsh suzeralnty.

President Kruger, of the Transvaal
republic, South Africa, & 'livered a
speech before the voksraad which is
likely to cause great excitement in
Great Britain. He said that the rela-
tions between Great Britain and the
South African republic are regulated
by the convention of 1884. He added
that in the convention Of November,
1881, reference to the suzerainty of
Great Britain did appear, bu. that a
the next convention, that of 1884, not
a single word bearing precisely upon
that point, and since then the suzer-
ainty had ceased to exist, and they
could not recognize the suzerainty of
Great Britain, because it was entirely
opposed to that convention. President
Kruger's remarks were greeted with
the loudest applause.

ship Pothuau after a disagreeable
journey from Havre. The weather
was fine, however, when the czar
steamed alongside the Pothuau in the

ception of the French president and
the exchange of greetings were the
signals for great enthusiasm on the
part of the many thousands OF Russians
assembled on land and water. Upon
landing from the Alexandria President
Faure was greeted by the grand dukes
of Russia "a I'D other dignitaries of the
empire of Russia and the republic of
France. A presentation to the court

gratifying. The starting of work. increas-
ing hands employed. ad vance in wages and
IN prices OF products and the heavy move

speculative influences have to bow. The
past weeks dispatches mecslon IS iron
works which have started, against one clos
ing; 10 wooden works started and SO on in
many other branches. while many more
works have increa led force and MANY are
preparing TO resume, and some have in

ridal Wave browns 500 Japane.e.

Oriental advices state that great
earthquake occurred in Japan, lasting
eight minutes and was followed by a
tidal wave, which swept up rivers
flowing into the sea, and causing great
destruction. Reports received at Yo-
kohama show that our 5000 houses
had been inundated or washed away
and 800 people were known to have
been drowned or seriously injured. 1t
was reported from HoSollu that coal
mines there were flooded by an over
flowing river, drowning over 100 min
ers. For several days before the
earthquake rain had fallen almost in
cessantly and the rivers were already
very high. The tidal wave raised
them in so many minutes from IL to 20
feet higher.

President Of Uruguay Assass,nated.

President idiarte Borda was shot and
killed as he was leaving the cathedral
at Montevideo, Uruguay, where the TIE
Deum had just been sung in honor of
the national fetes. The murderer, a
youth Lamed Arredondo, was arrested.
Borda was elected three years ago by
a small majority, and he has always
been very unpopular. While the assas-
sination is universally denounced the
removal of President Borda from the
control of her affairs is a good thing
for Uruguay. 1t is alleged that he
used his position for personal gain.

Ohio Striking Miners Starving.

A dispatch from Jacksonville. O., says
that the restitution among miners
there is very great. Mayor Buckley
says 1,96o persons, the entire mining
population of the town, have abso-
lutely nothing to eat and 100 of these
are sick. In this immediate vicinity
there are 1000 destitute people, large
number of whom are children. Local
charity has helped them till its means
are gone. Gardens supplied the wants
of these people until recently, but that
resource is now exhausted.

U. p. Miners Refuse to Strike.

The attempt OF the officers of the
iron miners union in IshpeminC, Ne
gaunce and other upper peninsula
mining towns to induce the union men
TO strike unless all non-union men were
discharged resulted in n big failure.
The workmen have all been told that
the nou-unionists shall be kept ut work
and protected, IL necessary, in the
event of walli-out of the unionists
The merchants and people of the
iron country are jubilant that the
strike did not materialize. They re-
memUer the hardships of the previous
one. The strikers would have very
little sympathy, for all know that the
mines are not making much money at
the present prices for ore. One pecu-
liarity of this strike agitation is that
the non-union miners have good or
ganizaIion, aud this perhaps dampens
the ardor of the union leaders.
