The poor invalid woman is not at fault, save in her ignorance of her own physical make up or neglect of her womanly health.
 Thousands of women are neglectfui in this way because they shrink from the er- barrassing examinations and local treat ment insisted upon by the majority of obscure physicians. Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N.

 ence and Nothing Less.

London, Nov B. 3.-Agoncillo, the agent of Aguinaldo, with his advisers, has returned here from Paris. He an- nounced himself as being very indig- nant at the statements made by Major General Wesley Merritt in reply to the aTraignment of American officers made by the insurgent junta of Hong Kong in an open letter to President Mckinley and the people of the United States through the Associated Press. The gen. eral situation also displeased Agoneillo and, after recalling to an interviewer "how the Flilipinos have Loyalty and effectively aided the Americans" he added:
 General Merritt's reference to the Flipinos as children is simply an echo ofa Spanish saying. and he may, like the Spaniards, find his error when it is too late.
 II am afraid the Filipinos will never again submit to the yoke of colonial government. Rather than live again as slaves they will fight to the bitter end in defense of their rights and freedom. Ny instructions are 60 claim the reeog. milton of their independence.
 t'What do the Fnipinos think of the American proposal 50 purchase the is- lande?" Agutnaldo was asked.
 
 "The opinion of the Filipino govern ment can not be favorable to it." he an- sweTed, ''as they cannot allow them selves to be bought and sold like mer- chandise. But if the object of the med. crate indemnity is that their recognition and peace be established, don't see why, perhaps, the matter should not be submitted to their consideration.
 AgdinaIdo's agent was then asked what form of government the Ffllpinos would prefer If they could not get com plete independence, but declined to an- swer on the ground that it would be premature to do so, but expressed icon fdence in the h0nUr of the American nation and President Mckinley, who will not permit any misunderstanding.

SOCIAL SCIENCE.
Interesting Paper Read Before the
American Association

SARATOGA On. Y.), Aug. 30-Before
the American Social Science Associa-
ton, which has membership of about
400, and which is holding it's annual
session here, an interesting paper was
read tonight by William 7. Harris of
Washington n. c., United States Com
missioner of Education. He discussed
the Significance of the recent advance
in college and university education in
the United States," and said in part:
1T has been a question Of time only,
during the past twenty years, when We,
as nation, should take Our actual part
in the management Of the affairs Of
the world; when we should be counted
with the others as d sixth great pow
er in the Government of Asia, Africa
and the isles of the sea.
This very summer we have entered
upon our new epoch as an active agent
This new era is one of great portent
to the statesmen of America. All leg
islation hereafter must be scrutinized
in view of it's influence upon our in
ternational relations. We cannot any
longer have that snug sense Of security
and isolation which has permitted us
to legislate without considering the eff
Hereafter our foremost national in
terest must be the foreign one, and
consequently the highest studies must
be made on the characters, inclinations
and interests of foreign powers"

Were on Sailing Craft in Tow Of a Span
lsh Gunhoat.
The Latter Forced to Cut Loose
From Her Tow During a Heavy
Gale, Since Which Time Moth
ing Has Been Heard Of the I'm
fortunates.

TACOMA (Wash.>, Aug. 3O.-The
Hongkong Daily Press" is authority
for the statement that 900 Spaniarcs,
including sixteen priests, lost their lives
several weeks ago when the Spanish
gunboat Leyte was captured by a ves-
sci belonging to Admiral Dewey's S
squadron
The Leyte had been stationed IN an
adjoining island where the insurgents
were numerous and aggressive. The
latter We're gaining ground rapidly,
causing 900 Spaniards TO board three
sailing vessels in an endeavor to escape
from the natives, who would massacre
them.
The gunboat Leyte undertook to tow
these three transports to Manila Bay,
where the Spaniards aboard them were
to surrender to Admiral Dewey, if they
did not succeed in landing somewhere
and reaching Manila under cover Of
darkness
After the Leyte had towed them down
Pampangas River and some distance
along the coast a heavy storm came
up, making it necessary for the gun
boat to cut her tows loose and proceed
to Manila for assistance. Before get
ting there she was captured by the
Americans the next day, and an Ameri-
can vessel was dispatched to find the
three transports, but failed to discover
any trace of them.
The natives on the adjoining coast
say they saw nothing of any vessels.
The Hongkong Press finally reached
the conclusion that the vessels found
e9ed with all on board.

ARBITRATION COMMISSION.
The Work of the Body Meeting a,
Quebec Increasing.

QUEBEC, Aug. 30-The work of the
Arbitration Commission is evidently
increasing. Each day more time is de-
voted to the sessions, and tonight the
American Commissioners have can
celled all social engagements, and are
holding a session by lamplight. What
they are discussing or what was dis
cussed at their long joint session to-day
is not known. Tomorrow number of
gentlemen from various parts of the
United States are expected here, but
the Commissioners will not discuss
what interests these gentlemen will rep
resent
matter which was not mentioned
IN the general protocol will probably
soon be brought to the attention of the
American Commissioners. They will
be asked to consider the question of a
monument for General Montgomery,
who was killed here while leading de-
tachment of American troops in 1775.
A small tablet in the rock by the road
side bearing the words, Here fell
Montgomery" is all that has eyer
marked the spot where he met his
death
Several times during the past half
century efforts have been made by diff
ferent Americans and American socie-
ties to have something done in the way
of erecting a suitable memorial to the
memory of the American General The
Canadians have always contended that
it was not exactly the proper thing to
erect on the sacred soil of Quebec" a
monument to the leader of an invading
army. Only a few years since the So
ciety of the Sons of the Revolution
asked permission to erect a monu-
ment here, but failed. Now a grand
nephew of General Montgomery, DR..
Liston Montgomery of Chicago, has
undertaken the patriotic task, and will
appeal to the American Commissioners
to improve this opportunity for prop
erly honoring the memory of his illus
trious ancestor. DR.. Montgomery's let
ter, it is understood, is now IL the hands
of the commission.
A large party, composed of the wives
and daughters of the Commissioners,
left this morning on the steamer Aber-
deem for a trip down the Saguenay.
They will return in time to take their
departure from Quebec after the ad-
journment on Friday.
The Gloucester Mass) fishermen
have applied for a hearing before the
American delegation, and representa-
tive of their interests will probably be
heard tomorrow
