CRANP CRIES FRAUD
European Builders are Trying
to Sell Remnants.
BROWNS0N SAYS MAYBE
But They'll Have a Hard Time
Selling Him Trash.

Philadelphia, March s.-Charles H.
Cramp. head of the great shipbuilding
firm. says there is a deliberate attempt
under way to brighten the United States
| into buying ships it does not need and
| could not use He said:
This clamor about buying warships
abroad is all instigated by a syndicate of
adventures who are trying to get big
commissions by helping English and Ger
| man sHipbuilders to unload on the United
States number OF unsaleable vessels
which they have built, either on specuIa-
ton or under contracts with various sec
ond-rate powers that are not able to pay
| Tor them. Such syndicates are always
! formed at the beginning of all threatened
wars.
Briefly, this scheme is a conspiracy on
the part of certain daring operators in this
| country and England to take advantage
! of the existing situation to force the hand
of congress and the administration"
CAN'T FOOL BROWNSON.
| New York. March 9.-Commander W.
II. Brownson, U. S. N, sailed for South
| ampton on the American line steamship
| st. Paul today. He said to a reporter:
Il am going to England under orders
| direct from the navy department. not
| from the president. My mission is TO pre-
| pare for the exigencies of the situation,
and to see what can be had and what can
| be done, in case of war, the possibilities
of which 1 think are very remote. The
vote of $50, 000,O 900 shows our readiness TO
enter upon vigorous preparations and that
in itself will have the effect of making
war unlikely. 1 may be absent a month
and perhaps longer. 1 expect to be two
weeks in London, but can not tell where
1 shall go after reaching England
Commander Brownson was asked
whether he intended visiting the yards of
Yarrow, the big British torpedo boat
builder. He did not answer directly, but
gave the impression that ne would look
at everything in the line of purchaseable
war craft.
The commanders attention was called
to the published statements that foreign
shipbuilders are trying to sell their poorer
stock to the United States.
You may rest assured" said he, "that
they won't sell me any trash
Charles H. Cramp, the shipbuilder also
sailed on the st. Paul. Further than
to say that he was going abroad on
business trip, Mr.. Cramp refused to talk.
TO FORESTALL SPAIN.
London. March 9.-The indications are
that the United States government will
not wait for the arrival here of Com
mander Willard H. Brownson in order
to purchase warships. Definite offers have
already been made for ships building here,
with the view of forestalling Spain, which
is supposed to be bargaining for the same
vessels.

peatness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear, There is only one way to cure deafness. and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con dition of tine mucous lining of the EastEchian Tube When this tube is iufiamed you have a running sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is- the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be des- tToyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by CAtarrh, which is noth- ing but an unframed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh cure. Send for circulars; free.
