Washington, Oct. 21.-The director of
the mint, in his report upon the pro-
duction of the precious metals during
the calendar year 1897, just submitted
TO the secretary Of the treasury, deals
not only with the production of gold
and silver in the United States. but in
foreign countries as well, and draws
a comparison between the production
of leading producing countries of the
world. The means from which infOr
nation has been derived is the most
authentic and reliable, and the figures
are as nearly accurate as it is possible
to obtain

production of gold in the world dur
ing 1897 over 1896. The United States

Constantinopie, Oct. 21.-The emperor
and empress of Germany, with the sui
tan, reviewed 1900 Turkish troops to-
day from a window of the YildiZ Kiosk
TIE saluted the first of each regiment
Emperor William wore the uniform of
a German general, with several Turk
ish orders. Empress Augusta Victoria
wore the Chefakakat order. and the
SULTAN the order of the Black Eagle.
After the review the sultan escorted
the empress to luncheon, taking her on
his arm An immense crowd Of Turks
surrounded the palace and cheered un-
til Emperor William appeared on the
balcony. Later in the day Emperor
William and the empress visited the
mosque Of St. Sophia, and the museum,
as well as many bazars. The prefect
of police presented them with silver
vases subscribed for by the populace,
remarking, in the speech of presenta-
ton, upon the friendship between the
two countries and the appreciation felt
by all Mussulnans at their visit to
Turkey. The SULTAN presided at a
grand farewell banquet TO his guests.

extraordinary fraternizing of the Ger
man and Turkish sailors.

Cuba will be delayed beyond the period
originally fixed by the administration.
This will follow entirely without refer
ence. to anything that has occurred in
Paris before the peace commission. The
war department has about satisfied it
self that the task imposed upon the
Spanish authorities. namely. the re-
moval and transportation to q great
distance by sea of about 100000 soldiers.
sick and well, with their accoutrements,
was beyond the ability of the Span
iards. The magnitude of the task is
shown by the fact that the great trans
Atlantic steam lines crossing the At
lantic from New York, all combined,
in prosperous seasons, transport only
about $4,000 persons in one year-less
than half the number that the Span
ish officials, with their poor facilities,
were expected to transport in about
ten weeks.
Delay in the evacuation of Cuba will
cause a delay in the REIMBURSEMENT of
sovereignty by the Spaniards over the
entire island, which was set for Dec. l.
1t is hardly deemed prudent to under
take to assume charge of the muaici-
pal affairs of Havana so long as the
city contains a strong garrison of
Spanish troops. and it is felt that law
and order could be better maintained
in such centerS by allowing them to
remain under Spanish jurisdiction un-
til they are evacuated by the troops
and occupied by United States troops.
1t is not to be understood from this
that the American military commission
is in any sense abating the pressure il
has brought to bear upon the Spanish
military commissioners to secure the
evacuation of the island and the relin-
quishment of such sovereignty. On
the contrary, they have redoubled their
efforts to secure their objects, but are
not disposed to insist upon the per-
formance of impossible tasks, and their
demands would largely depend upon
the knowledge that the Spaniards are
acting in good faith in carrying out the
terms of the protocol.

A NEW DISCOVERY by TlIB SHAKERS

For more than q hundred years The
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied
the cultivation OF medicinal plants and
sought 20 extract from them their heal
Ing essences. Their labor has not been
spent in va!n. They have made a dis.
covery that will prove q blessing Ia
mankind. 1t "consists Of u cordial that
causes immediate relief In cases OF in.
digestion. The importance Of this dis
coverY will be apparent when we rea.
lie that nearly nine-tenths OF our sur
fcring are caused by dyspepsia or in.
digestion. Nearly every person YOU
meet has this digestive trouble IN some
OF Its varied forms-sick headache, dis
tress after eating. pain and fullness In
the Chest after eating. palpitntion OF the
gestlon. To relieve these sunterinrs
has been the study Of the
Shakers. and they have succeeded. The
reason the Shaker Digestive Cordial has
such an immediate and salutary effect
Is that It causes the food eaten to be-
digested. for It Ia u%ndigested food that
causes the distress. The Cordial
Causes the food TO be digestcd before

is so dlgested It gives strength n
vigor 60 the feeble body, makes one feel
bright and cheerful. and makes n

The Digestive Cordial Is so prompt IN
Its action that the very first dose will
