Foul
Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
TO get rid OF.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr.. 3. P. McAllister, of HaTrodsburg,
Ky, had Catarrh for years. He writes:

PROTECTED AND EXTENDED
on sea and on land by heroes with q
thousand names.
The "trammeled up" consequences
OF the annexation OF Hawaii would
be to the democracy of America
identical in kind, il not in degree,
to what the equally ill-oonsidered
and hastily executed expedition to
Syracuse was to the Athsnian dem
ocracy; what the Sicilian COLOMBIA
tions we're to the Carthaginisn plu-
tocracy; what the Asiatic conquests
were to the liberties OF the people
OF the Roman Republic; what the
dead weight OF the Indian Empire
will some day prove to be to Great
Britain-a radical departure from
original principle, with no end in
view upon which the tired eye OF
the statesman or patriot could rest,
one scaled height but furnishing a
standing place whence to view and
covet another.
As long as you confine the eye
and thought and desire within tx
ed limit, and that limit the one l
have Indicated; as long as you re-
main continental and American, not
world meddling; industrial, not mill
tary or naval, you will remain both
secure and free. If secure and free,
then happy. Beyond those limits
all is uncertainty
A DREARY WASTE
OF national disturbance, unbounded.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, l had some
few other words to say, but feel
that we who have been discussing
this question have intrenchsd upon
the time Of this House far beyond
what was due us as members and
due the question at this time. 1t is
pressing question, and ask
gentlemen, before they make up
their minds, to think about it, and
not in partisan way. The gentle
man had no right the other day to
denounce the gentleman from In
diana (Mr. Johnson) because he had
been lacking in fealty to party.
When it comes to foreign affairs,
he should initiate the example of
the gentleman from Illinois tMr.
Hitt), the chairman of the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, and I believe
every other member of the commit
tee. When it comes to foreign
affairs, we are neither Republicans,
nor Democrats nor Populists; we
are American citizens (applause)
with the traditions of the country in
our historical minds eye, and with
THE DESTINY OF THE COUNTRY
before our Imagination. The gentle
man closed his speech the other day
by pointing to the desk and saying
he hoped that that emblem would
float over Honolulu.
Mr.. Chairman, wherever that em-
blem floats, with its stars, indicating
the States, and it's stripes, indieat-
ing their union, as the expression Of
just government which grows from
the consent OF the governed, it will
always remain the glorious thing
that it has always been. cloud ap-
plause) But when self,sseking
oligarchy, or mistaken patriotism
or q mistaken covetousness, or q
broad Imagination with good mo-
tives or bad, leads our country and
that flag out in the endless race for
conquest and domination, it has lost
its honor and should be furled in
disgrace. We would fall, Mr.. Chair
man, from the level of nineteenth
century Americans to the level OF
the Roman mob hundred years be-
fore Christ.
1 thank the House. Cloud ap-

GENERAL SKATER
 TELLS OF HIS MEN.
flo Gives Reasons Why His Army suf- fered as Much IS It Has at
 City of Santiago.

Washington, Aug. 9 9-General Shaft ter has telegraphed the president re- garding the publication of the "Round Robin, signed by the general officers of his command as follows:
 "I can very readily see the intense excitement the publication must have occasioned, a great deal more than the situation warranted. The situation was greatly aggravated from the fact that before any men were taken ill they were thoroug hly exhausted At least 75 per cent of the command had been down with malrial fever, from which they re- cover very slowly, and are in no condi- tion to stand an attack, or dysentery They are placed here now in different conditions than they were when they came here, and do not believe them to be in any particular danger.
 "The regiment of immunes that re- gently arrived is not suffering atall, and I don't believe they will. They can keep out of the sun, are well clothed and well fed. What put my regiment in its present condition was 20 days campaign when they had nothing but meat, bread and coffee, without a change of clothes, without any shelter what ever, and during a period twice as stormy as 1t has been since the surrender Fresh troops reaching here in the mid dle of August with good camps, good water, an abundance of tentage, which they will find here, need not apprehend any serious danger.
 q thank you for high regard in which you hold my command and the valuable service they have rendered. It pays for all suffering we have endured I have read this to Generals Wheeler, Lawton, Bates and Kent, who concur with me in the view expressed above

A WIFE CHARGED
 WITH WIT ASSASSINATION.
Mrs. Orr Arrested In Arkansas Along With Tw" Negroes, For the Mur-
 der of Her Husband.

Memphis, Aug. The people of Clar- endon, Ark, are fearfully wrought up over an assassination which took place there on July 30, and developments which took place there Saturday and Sunday.
 On the night of July 30 J. T. Orr, a prominent hardware merchant of Clarendon, was murdered at his house, and his wife and two negroes are in jail, the negroes being charged with the murder direct, and Mrs. Orr charged with having procured their services to make way with her husband. There was demonstration there Sunday night and lynching may yet be the climax.
 Orr was most foully murdered, having been shot through the window of his own home. Search for the guilty par ties was unfruitful until Saturday, when the sheriff learned that state- ment was being made by a young woman that Mrs. Orr knew something of the etSoaSoiH1tiousa lO Wds CHdIReu tHdt SuO hired the negro name1 Dennis Record to kill Mr. Orr. A negro named Manse Castle, however, volunteered to do the work for same amount, so it was stated Record, Castle and Mrs. Orr were inn mediately placed under arrest. On yes terday Castle said he killed Orr and charged Mrs. Orr with having hired him to do the work
 Sunday night a great crowd gathered on the public square and 1t looked for a time as if there would be lynching. Judge Thomas, who had just returned from Des Arc, made q speech and made an urgent appeal to the crowd not to mob the prisoners. He announced that he would at once adjourn court at Lone- oke and try the prisoners. The crowd dispersed and Mrs. Orr, who had been kept in the courthouse since her arrest on Saturday, was conveyed 10 jail Orr's life was insured for 5000 in the Knights of Pythias and Maccabees. His wife is tne beneficiary While Castle alleges that Mrs. Orr hired him to do the job, there are some conservative citi- zens who believe Mrs Orr guiltless, and q trial will clear her.

It Is Said the Answer Is Already on the Cable From Paris to the
 French Ambassador.
NO NOT BELIEVE THE
 ANSWER SATISFACTORY.
The Officials at Washington, Judging From Press Reports, Think the Answer Is EvaSiYe, and May
 Be Rejected.

Washington, Aug. 8.-Secretaries Al. ger and Long and Attorney General Griggs, were in conference with Presi. dent Mckinley for an hour this morn. ing. At the conclusion of the confer. ence it was announced the official noti. tication of Spain's acceptance of our terms had not yet been received. The presidents expectation is that he will receive the formal acceptance early to-. morrow. The delay is accounted for by the time that is required in translatine 1t to cipher in its several stages via Paris.
 The impression is growing in official quarters that the Spanish answer, while ill the nature of a concession of the demand, is not brief and simple accept ance without reservation or condition. There is no direct official advices on this point, but all press advices from Madrid indicate the response is document of considerable length, prepared with Ia. borious care and that 1t has several feat ures " hieh may not appear in the con- ditions presented by the United States. Whether the acceptance of this charac- ter will be regarded by the authorities here as sufficiently responsive to the American demands is matter that is exciting much conjecture. In some quarters it is being urged that so long as Spain accepts the essential principles re- quired by the United States the disposi. tion here will be to deal with the de- feated enemy in Q generous spirit of mi- nor details. It is probable that this will be the view presented by the French ambassador in case the Spanish reply is not simple, categorical acceptance of the American terms. On the other hand it is believed that the response which opens up diplomatic controversy and gives the conditions much broader scope than that originally framed at Washington may not meet with approv- al here
