Gen. Mt1es,s Suggestion.

Gen. Miles suggests an innovation for
the American Army. He thinks it would
be an excellent idea for the American
coat-of-arms TO appear on the uniforms OF
all the officers and soldiers of the Army.
While in Europe be noticed that all of the
soldiers and sailors OF the great nations
Wore the insignia OF their nation upon their
uniforms, and he believes the idea worthy of
adoption in this country.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
Sinn naciaaS on Jnporfart Casa

The Interstate Commerce COmmiS-
sion Decides an Important Case.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion yesterday, in an opinion by Com
missioner Prouty, announced its decis-
cision in the case of the Savannah Bu-
reau of Freight and Transportation eft
al against the Charleston and Savan-
nah Railway Company ct al.
The case involves the reasonableness
of rates on fertilizers from Savannah,
Ga, to points in Georgia, Alabama, and
Florida, and the lawful relation of such
rates to charges from Charleston and
other points to like destination.
The commission decides: % That
the defendants differential of so cents
more per ton from Charleston than
from Savannah to points in Georgia
other than common points is not unrea-
sonable or prejudicial to Savannah. (2)
That charging the same rate from Sa-
vannah and Charleston over the de-
fendant all-rail lines to points in F'lori-
da in competition with ocean and rail
competition from Savannah and
Charleston is not unlawful (3) That
a lower differential as between Sayan-
nah and Charleston on fertilizers to
points III alaDdiIla TedcneQ the Ala
bama Midland railway than the differ
entail established as between those
cities on fertilizers to points in Georgia
does not appear justified, and that suf-
ficient difference is not made in rates
to some stations in Florida, and the de-
PENDANTS are advised to adjust such
rates in accordance with the sugges-
tions stated, with leave to complain
ants to apply for an order if such ad-
juStment is not made
Higher rates charged by the defend
ants on fertilizers from Charleston or
Savannah to intermediate points be-
tween those cities than they charge
over the entire distance between
Charleston and Savannah are justified
by the existence of water competition
The circumstances and conditions
governing the transportation of fertili-
zerS from Charleston to Vaidosta and
various other stations are rendered
substantially dissimilar from those ap-
plying in the transportation of fertiii-
zers from Charleston over the same
lines to shorter distance localities by
railway competition at Valdosta and
said other stations, which controls and
affects the rate, and higher charges on
fertilizers to such shorter distance
points are not in violation of the fourth
section as interpreted by the United
States Supreme Court in Interstate
Commerce Commission VS.. Alabama
Midland Railroad Company.

HEART TROUBLE.
y Plain Statement of Facts from a
Young Lady Living in England.

Miss A. Pitt lives at Cooking, one o.
the prettiest little villages in Sussex
An ardent lover of nature. She has fol-
some years past been denied the plea
sure Of rambling among the hills, her
heart being too weak to stand the
strain Of even a moderate gradient
She explained the cause Of all this to a
reporter of the Midhurst Times, as fol
lows:
I was weak, and hardly able to
walk; if l tried to go uphill at all ]
had no strength to lift my legs. and
when 1 went to chapel on Sundays I
had frequently to stop on the way on
account of the palpitation of my heart.
For some time was under doctor.
and thinking that sea air would do
me good, 1 went for a change to Bog
nor, but the only effect was 10 make
me worse than before. | had suffered
in this way for about three or four
years, when about four months ago I
read in various papers some of the ex-
periences of people who had tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills in cases of heart
disease, and noticing that their symp-
toms were in some instances similar
to mine, [ thought there would be
no harm in trying the pills, so wrote
for box. [ did not notice much bene-
fit after taking this first box of pills,
but | determined not to give in, and
wrote for another. This had a wonder
full effect, and l felt much better be-
fore [ had taken the whole of its con-
tents. A third box l bought, and that
restored me to perfect health, but,
thinking it better not to leave off too
soon, j bought another box, though l
could have done without it, feeling so
we'll. Now / can say that from DIR.
Williams Pills have received
more benefit than from any other
medicine, and in my pursuit of health
| have tried many remedies.
Ito show how changed I am since
first took DR.. Williams Pink Pills, 1
may state last Thursday went up Bow
Hill South Downs), one of the highest
hills in Sussex, without any trouble at
all. This l consider a remarkable
climb, as four months ago it would
have been absolutely impossible for
me to do it. Any violent exercise or
quick work used to tell on my heart
at once, and I had to stop"
The experience of years has proved
that there is absolutely no disease due
to a Initiated condition of the blood or
shattered nerves, that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills will not promptly cure, and
those who are suffering from such
troubles would avoid much misery and
save money by promptly resorting to
this treatment. Get the genuine Pink
Pills every time and do not be per-
suaded to take an imitation or some
other remedy from a dealer, who for
the sake of the extra profit to himself,
may say is "just as good" DR.. Will
Iiams' Pink Pills cure when other
medicines fail.

IN FOREIGN LANDS
The Dum-Dum Bullet

There is hardly parliament in Europe
whose members have not questioned their
war offices concerning the famous Dunn
Dunn bullet, the new rifle projectile of the
British army. Many alarming stories have
been told of its terrors, and governments
have been asked to object to it's use by the
armies of Great Britain. And the Paris,
Berlin and st. Petersburg papers have
given considerable space to describing the
bullet, with diagrams showing its terrible
effects upon the body. The other day Dep
uty Hubert in the French chamber gave
notice to M. Hanotaux that France would
insist upon raising the question of the le-
gality of the employment of the Dunn
Dunn bullet. OF course, the question of le-
st. Petersburg. where the powers decided,
among other things, against the use of the
explosive bullet in their armies. The Dunn
Dunn is not an explosive, but an expansive
bullet, and, although small in caliber, in
nicts wound similar to that produced by
the old-time Minnie ball, while it's pene-
tration is as great as the nickel and steel
cased bullet The modern bullet of small
caliber and long range has terrific strik-
ing force, and can pierce several ranks of
men; but the wound unless in vital men,
Der can be easily healed. The Dum-Dum's
velocity is just as great, but the wound is
large and lacerated. The effect is produced
by loaded cylinder of steel, capped by
wedge of soft metal and a steel point. In
the house of commons the other day Mr..
Powell Williams, the under secretary of
state for war, said that these bullets were
made in India by the Indian government
and issued by it to the army. The effect
was that when it struck soft tissues it
INFLICTED wound sufficiently serious to
stop the enemy" but that its use did not
infringe upon the convention of st. Peters,
burg. Some of these bullets had been made
at Woolwich for one of the West African
colonies at the request of the crown agents.

from them, their flesh lacerated and theiR
ear drums broken. But the most discour-
aging episode of the whole affair was the
sham battle, in which the crack ironclads
Brennus, Jaureguiberry, Carnot and Mar
ceau, attempted to sink the old wooden
dispatch boat Petrol, which had been pro-
vided for that purpose. LIE Temps gives q
glowing account Of the encounter, but the
cold facts of the affair, freed from ver-
biage, are as follows: The Petrol was taken
out from Toulon and her engines and rud-
der fixed so that she could steam around
in a large circle unattended for an hour
or two. She was a side-wheeler of about
500 tons. The ironclads, whose aggregate
tonnage is something like $4,000, man
euvered in battle line and opened fire on the
Petrol first at a mile range, then half
mile, then at few hundred yards dis
lance. 1t is reported that of twenty shots
fired at the first range the shots began to
take effect, one hating her progress. But
it was over an hour from the time the
first shot struck her before she disap-
peared beneath the surface. For the last
half hour the big vessels passed close to her
and poured down rain of small prejectiles
and shells upon her decks from their rapid
fire guns.

The Money-Lending Inquiry

Reference has several times been made
in these columns to the investigation that
is now being conducted in London by the
parliamentary money-lending committee.
The most remarkable testimony yet given
was presented a fortnight ago by money
lender named Alfred Moore, who began
business with a capital of $4,000 in 1888, and
is now said to be worth more than half
million. He testified that he had several
rates of interest, Is per cent, rs per cent,
and sometimes 60 per cent. His average
rate was 40 per cent. He never renewed a
note unless interest was paid up to date.
Further testimony revealed the story of
a young Australian who had fallen into
Sam Lewis hands and was obliged to pay
$500 upon a loan of ESQ. 1t was also
shown that Daniel Jay, money lender of
Jermyn street, who recently figured in the
Sir Tatton and Lady Sykes scandal, had
advanced enormous sums at 60 per cent to
a married lady of position, so that her en-
tanglements led her to forge promissory
note for 100000. Jay and his solicitor,
Mr.. Pyke, guaranteed the genuineness of
the signature. Out of the proceeds the
money lender received 10000, in payment
Of advances made to the lady at the ex-
traordinary rate of 60 per cent. Her friends
finally came to her rescue and effected a
settlement.

had served in the West Indies, and knew
Spanish, and when he heard the Spaniards
declare that our fighting ships were mere
tubs he cleared for action, so to say, by
dropping his packages, and engaged with
the offending civilians. In the police
court he described these circumstances in
explanation of his arrest for disorderly
conduct, adding that he, Gus Cassowon
by name, was the sailmaker's smith of the
Texas, and that he was sick in hospital
when it steamed away, and was now about
to join it. AT that Magistrate Olmstead
declared to the prisoner:
Il am going to discharge you, even
though this may be construed as an act of
war. When you get back to the navy
yard, just report to the commandant that
the first battle in the Spanish American
difficulty has resulted in a victory for our
side"
