A CRITICAL TIME

lions to the Front Saved the Day.
p. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3.
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23d, says: 1--WE all had diarrhoea in a
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see a doctor,
for it was a case of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied
with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Cham berlain' S Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work anu keep our health:
in fact, | sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine WAS the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way OF getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that wagon train could use. My COM
rade and myself had the good fortune
to lay in supply of this medicine for
our paclz-train before we left Tampa,
and | know in four cases it absolutely
saved life
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the

who was one of the Morgan raiders. who
was imprisoned with the famous Confed-
crate in the prison during the civil war.
and who was one of the number to escape
from the prison. Mr.. Bullet recently told
how and where he had secreted the knife,
and Expressed the belief that it was stiii
in the place where he put 1t years ago.
1t was said that the knife was one OF
fourteen which the prisoners OF war had
made. which was hidden when the fact of
their possession was exposed The pace
of concealment was said to have been in
an air shaft used as IL venti.ator, and after
persistent search It was found at the bot
tom. where it had dropped at some time
since the raiders left the prison. 1t was
rust eaten ana the handle of wood had
nearly rotted away a second knife was
also found in the tunnel
The recovery is of especial interest since
il settles a much mooted roint-the means
of escape OF the prisoenrs. The most OF
the rrison officials believe that the FIRST
knife is the one described by Mr.. Bullet,
and if that be true, it proves beyond ques-
ton that the Morgan raiders made their
escape as has always been claimed, by
the tunnel route and not by the aid OF the
connivance of any of the prison officials.

her majesty breads the alignment of all

london. December 24.-lt is no eX-
aggeration to assert that the foremost
topic compelling attention in Europe
in general and in Great Britain IN par
ticular. overshadowing the dreary
broils of domestic politics, is the re-
markable, aggressive, commercial pros
perity which the United States is man
ifesting. Hardly newspaper review
or a public speaker during the past
month has failed to notice with what
giant strides America is coming into
the first place in the alignment OF the
powers. 1t is certainly the chief sub
iect of conversation on Lombard street
and on the continental bourses.
The manager OF one of the greatest
London banks recently drew an Amer
lean business man into his private Oh
flee and said in an awe-struck tone:
"This is the first time in the history OF
finance that New York has been in

The bank manager added that Lon
don S purchases of American securities
were a featherweight compared with
the balance of trade in New York's ia
Vor.
Mr.. James Brice, in a speech before
the Leicester chamber of commerce,
sounded a warning to British manufac-
turers. He emphasized the fact that
the exports of the United States and
Germany had increased $4,000 600
pounds and 100000 pounds respective
ly between 1891 and 1897 while Great
Britain's decreased 100000 pounds
He further pointed out that the bust
ness of the United States was develop
ing along many important points, while
Great Britain, he added, should have
held against all competitors. Mr..
Brice unhesitatingly asserted that the
United States could produce rails
cheaper than Great Britain, and said
he saw no possibility Of opening new
markets except in China.
Great Britain seems to have become
recOnciled to the capture of the iron
markets by the United States. Ameri-
can firms are uniformly successful in
bidding against the British firms. The
Carnegie Company and the Illinois
Steel Company have opened extensive
offices in London, and are making in
roads upon the British preserves. Col
Hunsiker. the Carnegie representative
has contracted for thirty thousand
tons of plates for the Coolgardie road

Feasibility and his habit of violently
taking sides, he seasoned his judg

that, although eighty-one years of age,

court far into the night.
The retirement of Judge Hawkins

personalities.
Sir George Trevelyn, the former sec
rotary for Scotland, promises an in
teresting book in a month, history
of the American revolution"
He recently wrote a biography of
Fox, the minister of George III, and
his studies convinced him that his
tory of the Parliament of that period
could not be judged without a record
of the events beyond the Atlantic. So,
the new work will be in the nature of
a sequel of Sir George Trevelyn's BIZ
ography of Fox. It's spirit is indicated
by Tennyson's lines, which have been
prefxed as motto:
Strong mother of lions line, be
proud of those strong sons of thine
who wrenched their rights from thee"
