Washington, March 16.-The agent in
Boat company of England. Mr.. Platt, has
submitted to Secretary Long a PROPOSE
ton for the sale to the government of
designs and complete working drawings
for the magnificent torpedo boat destroy

department would find it absolutely i'm
possible to buy any of these craft in Eu-

Based upon the statements of ship build

Not much concern is expressed by Of
ficers of the administration over the re-
ported intention of European govern
ments at the instigat ton of Austria, to
intervene between the United States and
Spain in the settlement of the questions
pending between them. SO far 1t can be
stated that this has taken no official
shape or at least no indications of such
a design have reached the state depart
ment. What the attitude of our govern
ment would be if representa- ions in that
line were addressed to it by the European
powers is a question that the officials
do not care to answer in anticipation The
suggestion that the Spanish government
has protested against the sale by Brazu
of the two cruisers to the United states

Nervous Insanity.
SHATTERED NERVES AND
HEALTHY KIDNEYS CANNOT
EXIST IN THE SAME BODY.
Necessity of Finding a Remedy to
Cure Diseased Kidneys Led to the
Discovery of the World-Re-
nowned Morrow's Kidneoids-

No organs of the body are more de-
pendent upon the healthy action Of
kidneys than the brain and nerves. If
waste matters of the system are not
removed as rapidly as formed, the
nerves are the first to know it and suf-
Ter in consequence The kidneys must
remove these most poisonous matters.
Therefore, the Importance of the rela-
kion of the kidneys and nerves is appar-
lent and should be of deep concern to
each individual
T If the kidneys do not perform their
functions properly, Systematically and
on time, serious complications must ar
Use throughout the entire body. From
the nerves first comes acute and chron-
Hc headaches; then excitability of tenn
per; next nervous prOstration, shatter-
ed nerves and insanity. With proper
Treatment of the kidneys all these trou-
fbIes can be avoided or cured
There is only one known remedy,
that not only will make the kidneys
sound, as nature intended they should
he, but also have a strong and whole
lsome effect upon the nerve centers-
that remedy is MorrOw's Kidneoids,
prepared in the form Of a yellow tablet.
( MorrOw'S Kidneoids are not the fool
ash fancy of a day, but are the result Of
years of experiment, experience and a
Thorough study Of the relations existing
between the nerves and kidneys. The
honor of the discovery of KidneOids is
due to John Morrow, that eminent
chemist of Springfield, Ohio, whose rep
ataIlOn WOulQ not permit MIN to place
upon the market any remedy not of the
highest value and merit.
In our last issue we announced that
one of the largest drug concerns in the
United States was negotiating for the
control of MOrrOw's KidneOids We
are now informed that the discoverer
of this most peculiar remedy that the

was the fortunate competitor of the
many firms, who were endeaVoring to
secure the sole right to prepare and

Madrid, March 16.-Lieutenant Com
mander SobraI, the former naval at

breads war with Spain, which they be-

shown by the fact that the new Span
ish squadron had already started LOT
American waters when a panic seized
all commercial and Industrial centers.
The lingo campaign is fomented, chief
" bv two American daily newspapers,
whose insolent language is a positive
shame to Americans.
1T is evident that the United States
intends Spain shall be the actual de-
cIarer of war;
Lieut. Sobral added: IF the Span
ish government decides to issue ma
tionaI loan to build squadron, the
patriotism of the SpaniardS residing in
America will impel them to subscribe
a third of the amount and they will
give their money without regard to the

Canton, Ohio, March 16.-The propo-
sition by Senator Thurston that Canton
construct a fac-simile of Mckinley s
Canton home at the Omaha exposition
will not be followed. The matter was
placed in the hands of the board of
trade of this city and was considered
favorably for some time.
It was proposed to have in the house
exhibits of various articles manufact-

exhibits would prove very popular.
Secretary Charles r. Miller of the Can

Canton will not build a Mckinley
cottage at the Omaha exposition. We
do not have any desire to come into
competition with the friends of Bryan,
who have also been asked to build a
cottage containing relics of Bryan's
campaign. The Canton board of trade
does not care to enter into partisan ri
valry over matter of this kind Bry-
ans friends may build a cottage if they
want to. but it is quite certain that
Canton business men will not construct
a Mckinley cottage under the circum-
stances. 1t might have been otherwise

THE HOME OF TRUSTS.
Two Big Ones Organizing at One Time

Cleveland, March 16.-One of the big
gest pools the country has ever known
was formed in Cleveland today. All
BeSSemer pig iron producers in the
Cleveland, Mahoning valley and She
mango iron districts are bound together
by the combine. The only firm in these
districts it is officially stated not in

G. Matter, a prominent iron man said
today: THE object of the meeting is
not to form a trust. The manufactur-
ers are in conference for the purpose
of regulating the output of pig iron and
influencing the prices of iron as far as
possible for the better. All BeSSemer
pig iron manufacturers, out of the
Pittsburg district are members of the
association, the Cleveland Rolling Mill
Company being the only exception

the attempt was a failure.
However, a committee was organized
to do evangelistic work among the

mittee admitted today that there is
some chance that a combine of some
sort will be made at the present meet

the strongest efforts of the convention
will be directed towards inducing Wal

The sentiment of the delegates seems
to be almost unanimous in opposing

FOR A BIG DRY DOCK.
Huntington's Pet Idea to be Carried
Out at Newport News.

Newport News, Va, March 16.-As
soon as working plans can be made
work on the immense dry dock which
Coils P. Huntington has decided to
build at the shipyard here will be COM
menced. When finished it will perhaps
be the largest dry dock in the world.
The plans are being drawn up by Ma
jor Walter A. Post, an engineer of
prominence, who is interested in the
developments of Newport News While
Mr.. Post has not yet given out the Off
cial dimensions of the dock, it has been
learned that it will be 80 feet wide and
of sufficient length to accommodate two
of the largest battleships af1Oat at one
time and will be deep enough to easily
take in vessels of the deepest draught.
This contamination of one of Mr..
HuntingtOn's pet ideas has been sus-
tanned by the war scare The necessity
for proper facilities for docking naval
vessels being the opportunity. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Huntington will
receive no subsidy from the govern
ment.
