TROUBLED WATERS GAINED.
Oil Used Successfully, but SOapsud
Found to Be Worthless.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Captain H. Cattle
mann, of the North German Lloyd steam
ship Oldenburg, has just made public the
result of a series of experiments with oil
and soapsuds in quieting the sea in the
vicinity of the ship during a storm. He be-
gan his experiments in December, 1897, on
voyage from Baltimore to Bremen and
used vegetable or whale oil to great advan-
tage. He allowed the oil to drop from a
series of buckets arranged on the bow of
the ship. The wind at the time was west
northwest, with very rough sea. The speed
of the ship was about twelve and a half
knots; the temperature of the air was 4S
degrees Fahrenheit and of the sea 81 de-
grees. Presently the waves which had been
breaking over the SIP, became remark
ably quiet and the sea within several hun
dred yards of the ship became calm. The
captain used about two and one-half pounds
of oil in an hour during this experiment.
He was very much gratified at the result.
In January, 1885, Captain Gathemann be-
gan trying soapsuds. The mixture consisted
of fifteen pounds of Genesee soap and forty
pounds of sweet water and as in the case
of the oil. buckets were used from which
the soapsuds dripped into the ocean. The
wind was north by west, the speed of the
ship over twelve knots and the temperature
of the air and sea about the same as in
the experiment with the oil. The soapsuds
could be plainly seen floating on the sur
face of the water until wave struck them
and then they quickly disappeared. No
quieting effect was noticeable on the sea-
however. and when the buckets were empty
they were quickly filled with oil and pres
entity the sea again became calm. Captain
Gathemann reports that he has expert
mented with soapsudS several times during
his voyage this year, but never found them
efficacous and also resorted to oil with
good results.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not BE Alarmed. but Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among Americans,
are certainly increasing, and while this may
be largely due to the excitement and worry
of American business life, it is more often
the result of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable:
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way also the heart is affected
by that form of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food; there is a feeling of oppression and
the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
makes it thin and watery, which irritstes
and WeakenS the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to improve the digestion ana 10
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
after meals, of some safe, pleasant and
e1ectiVe digestive preparation, like Stuart $
dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain val
liable, harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, persist
ent use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any. form of stomach
trouble except canoe" of the stomach.

druggists at so cents.

TROUBLE In SAMOA.
A German Official Wants to "Run the
Whole Show Himself.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 5.-News from
Samoa is not very quieting. The board of
control during the present interregnum had
several meetings and then split up. The
consuls of Germany, the United States and
England and the two treaty officials did not
work tremendously together. What this
board really intended to do has never been
ascertained, but it is believed the president
desired to take charge of the Samoan gov
eminent and to run the whole show himself,
with occasional help from the chief justice.
When the Aorangi left Australia it was
learned that the relations between the Brit
ish consul and PRESIDENT Raffell were
strained. The president was inclined to give
in, but he finds 1t difficult to extricate him
self from differences in which he has be-
come involved by his own act. Some of the
people, urged on by a section of foreigners.
are advocating the adjustment of the king
making the experiment of running the gov
eminent without king for six or twelve
months. This plan may receive faVora BILE
consideration from the chief Justice who
actually has full power in the matter The

LONDON, Nov. 5-This has been week
Of gales, floods and storms in all parts of
Great Britain. The English lake district
has been visited by the heaviest flood in
thirty years. Derwent Water and Bas-
senthwait, both well known to American
tourists, became one vast lake. All the in
tervening meadow land was covered with
water. The southern part of Scotland also
suffered greatly, and in the British channel
the gale was so severe that the Calais
Dover service was suspended for two days
and, as this route has the monopoly, the
mail service communication between Eng
land and France was stopped. Passengers
leaving Paris at 8 O'Clock in the morning
arrived at Dover at o'clock on the follow

INDICTMENTS HELD OUT To SAILORS

Commodore Philip at the Naval So
Presbyterians Testing strength.
to the indianapolis journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Commodore ]. w.
Philip, who was captain of the United
States battle ship Texas at Santiago, has
been elected a member of the International
Young Mems Christian Association COM
mittee, and made chairman of it's work in
the United States navy. That work was
inaugurated last week by the organization
of the initial association. A novel thing
about this association work in the navy is
its general membership. 1t is not thought
possible to maintain associations on war
ships or even in any considerable number
of navy yards. Instead membership tickets
are to be issued under the usual regulations
that are valid in any association along the
Atlantic coast from Galveston, Tex, to
PASSPORT, Me-, so that wherever the marine
or Jack" chance to be an association build
ing is open to him. There are about twenty
associations thus thrown open to these men,
and practically their tickets are valid any,
where in the world The new feature grew
out Of the army and navy Christian commits
sion, and received the hearty Endorsement
of Secretary Long and President Mckinley.
The commission is now a thing of the past
but the association work in the navy as
well as in the army is to be carried on as
heretofore. under the name and control of
the international committee, and in direct
charge of Commodore Philip.
That historic institution, the American
Bible Society. has become entangled with
Presbyterian conservative and liberal con-
troversies. Some time since the Rev. DIR.
Alexander Mclean. who represented the
Presbyterians in the society's sectarian
board, died. and few weeks ago the Rev.
DIR. A S. Hunt, the Methodist secretary,
also died. Last week the board of man.
ayers chose as a successor to the Rev. DR..
Mclean the Rev. DIR. John Fox, who is
declared to be one of the most pronounced
conservatives in the Presbyterian denomina-
tion. The liberals are loud in their ne
nunciations. Each side declares that Pres
byterian contributions to the venerable So
ciety are Jeopardized If an advanced man OF
either type is chosen, and wise heads say
that q man not identified with either side
should have been named The laws of the
society require that elections to secretary
ships must be finally approved by the Of
fetal board of the denomination, to which

the person elected belongs Under this rule
the Rev. DIR. Fox will be subject to the
scrutiny of the Presbytery of New York
The McGiffert matter still hangs fire in that
body, and the fear is expressed that the
Rev. DIR. Fox, member of it, would
ventilate that matter anew as he has VEN
tiated analogous matters in the presbytery
to which he belongs. Every effort will be
made. II is therefore said, to prevent his
final ratification by the presbytery. Friends
of the famous society deeply deplore the
incident. which is by no means closed.
The announced decision of the government
to retain the Philippines interests the mis-
sionary societies greatly since they now
realize that as part of the United States
territory their denominations will expect
them to enter on active work there. AS a
rule it appears to be likely the home board
will take up the work in Cuba and Porto
Rico and foreign boards in the Philippines.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: THE army
investigation commission will soon go to
Santiago, and very probably, though not
certainly, to Porto Rico. This is according
to the announcement made several weeks
ago. They met no opposition on the part of
the President, who was understood to
acquiesce perfectly in the decision of the
committee. AS much information as pos
sible will be gathered, and it is believed
that the evidence to be taken subsequently
will then be better understood. The time OF
going has not yet been decided upon. In
formation from a member of the commits
sion is that the reports from the heads of
staff departments will be first read. General
CorbinS report has not yet been received,
and it contains over 100000 words. Then
other reports will be read, after which the
commission will hold sessions in New York.
1t is not probable that the commission will
go to Santiago until after the New York
sessions

testified TO visiting the Chickamauga hos
pitfalls in July last. He saw no patients
lying on the ground and no cases of neglect

trouble was in the fly nuisance, which was
averted as much as possible by the use of
mosquito netting.
Surgeon f. w. Hendley, of the First Ohio,
testified to stopping the forced march from
Chickamauga to Ringgold in which one
soldier, overcome by heat became insane.
The water was bad at all their camps. He

at the division hospital at Fernandina, say
ing he had been notified by wire of the ship
ment of full equipment for a two-hundred-
