AMERICAN SHIPPING.
A Decrease In the Tonnage, Due to
the War.


Washington, Oct Incomplete re-
turns received by Commissioner Cham
berlain of the navigation bureau of the
treasury department show that the
documented American shipping on June
so, 1898, comprised 22,705 vessels, of
4,747,73S gross tons, compared with p,
$50 vessels of 4.769,020 tons on the like
date in 1897. The decrease of 19, 2S2 tons
is more apparent than real, as 1000
tons of this amount is due to dropping
fractions Of tonnage in the accounts,
and 81, 1875 tons were sold to the navy
and war departments to carry troops,
supplies and provisions, and have
merely changed employers.
The total steam tonnage amounts to
ZIP vessels, of 2,371, 923 tons, compared
with $3.50 vessels, of 2,35S,55S tons, for
theT.revious year. The vessels sold to
the government were all steam vessels,
so the true increase is greater than the
figures Indicate. Sailing vessels have
decreased from 1904, 1873 tons for 1897, to
1,S53S27 tons for 1898. Documented ca
nal boats ard barges amount to al, 9SS
tons. compared with SOC, 309 tons for the
previous ear. The increase is chiefly
in barges. which are superseding sail
vessels, especially in the coal trade.

for 1897. to $685. 39 tons for 1898. The
lakes TONNAGE shows a slight increase,
1,4SI, $50 tons, compared with 1,41O, 1O5
tons. The new Alaskan trade has in
creased the Pacific coast marine from
AS. 012 tons to 494. 7S7 tons. Western
rivers have decreased from 272, 109 to
2Gl,7 tons.
The effect of the war is shown in the
sale of 81 vessels, of 35,411 tons to for
eigners, compared with sales OF S,24S
tons the previous year. The sales were
chiefly due to high premiums on Amer
lean vessels and cargoes demanded by
insurance companies during the brief
period while mines and torpedoes were
being placed in our harbors. The eff
feet of the war is also shown in the ad-
mission by acts of congress of 27,S24
tons of foreign vessels to American reg
istry, chiefly Tor transport purposes.
During the preceding eight years only
t,5, 902 tons We're so admitted.

In reply to the Spanish statement. the
American commissioners have declared
that the United States refuse TO assume
sovereignty over Cuba, but would re-
main in the island TO organize normal
order and security before handing it over
to the authority of the government of the
new republic The Spaniards. however,
remark that there cannot be an inter
regnum of sovereignty and that a state
cannot be left derelict. as such a situa-
ton would be simple anarchy.
1T should be mentioned" say the
Spaniards. that in Cuba are an Amer
lean evacuation commission on the one
hand and a Spanish commission on the
other. and the many interests still pos
sessed by Spain in Cuba would not be
guaranteed if such anarchy existed.
1T is therefore strange if the Amer
leans declare that they cannot discuss
the debt of Cuba and the internal affairs
of the island. In such a case, to be
logical. Cuban, instead of American. COM

says:
1.-THE negotiations at present are going
on without touching the question of the
Philippines, which is most obscure and
which lends itself to the gravest dis
sensions. Owing to the vagueness and
lack of clearness Of the protocol. the
commissioners are meeting with serious
difficulties. 1t has been said that, if our
adversaries are obstinate in their eXag-
gerated demands, Senior Sagasta should
address the European governments ask
ing arbitration, at least upon the points
to which an agreement could not be
reached: but, in view of the electoral
struggle now in full vigor in the United
States and of the declarations of the

THE SURGEONS KNIFE.
ONCE BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY
CURE FOR PILES AND RECTAL
DISEASES.
A Better Way Now Discovered,
Which Cures Every Form of
Piles without Pain or In
COnVenfRnce

Many people suffer the pain, annoy
ance and other Serious results from
piles, for years. and after trying the
many lotions, salVes, ointments, and
many so-called cures without cure or
relief, give up the hope of a final cure,
rather than submit to the intense pain
and danger to life which a surgical
operation involves.
Happily all this suffering is no longer
necessary since the discovery Of the
Pyramid Pile Cure; d remedy which is
approved by the medical profession, as
being absolutely safe, free from any
trace of opiates, narcotic or mineral
poisons, and which may be depended
upon as sure cure mot merely relief
in any form of piles whether itching,
blind, bleeding or protruding. Some Of
the hundreds of cures recently made
are little short of marvellous, as a pc
rusal OF the following will demonstrate.
Major Dean, Of Columbus, Ohio, says:
I wish to add to the number Of certifi-
Gates as to the benefit derived from the
Pyramid Pile Cure. 1 suffered from
piles for forty years and from itching
piles for twenty years, and two boxes
of the Pyramid Pile Cure has effectu-
ally cured me.
DR.. J. w. Meagan, Leonardsville,
Kan. writes: 1 have used a box Of Py-
ramid Pile Cure and received more
benefit and relief than from any other
remedy had used in the past twenty
years.
James Jamerson, Dubuque, Iowa,
says: 1 suffered from piles for six
years; have just used the Pyramid Pile
Cure, and am a we'll man.
Mrs. NJ. G. Hinkly, COL Mississippi
street, Indianapolis, Ind, says: Have
been a sufferer from the pain and an
noyance of piles for fifteen years. The
Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills
gave me immediate relief, and in
short time a complete, cure.
The Pyramid Pile Cure may be found
at druggists at so cents and 81 per
package. A book on cause and cure Of
piles will be sent by mail by addressing

UNION OF CITY AND COUNTY.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ADVO-
Gates CONSOLIDATION ,
Project but Little Encouraged in the
Past, but VIII Re Urged Before
the Coming LeglsIature


The committee on legislation from
the chamber Of commerce held a ses-
sion yesterday afternoon to consider a
resolution introduced at he last meet
ing Of the body relative to the CONSOLE
dation of the city and county govern
mentS.
The resolution provided that if the
legislative committee found the matter
to be eXpedient a plan should be rec
commended to the chamber for carving
the same into effect.
Present at the meeting Of the commit
tee yesterday were j. B. Sanborn. f. q.
Doran. w. P. Murray, E. S. Durment
and w. p. Jewett. Gen. Sanborn. as
chairman of the committee, stated that
the report of the county auditor showed
that about $3.50 was paid for salar-
les Of county officials and clerks.
Under the law which provided salar
les instead Of fees the county auditor
reported last year $33,700 paid out as
salaries and $4,000 received for fees.
Both Mr.. Murray and Gen. Sanborn
announced that they were in favor of
fee rather than salaried officials. The
trouble. Mr.. Murray said, was that the
fees were too large, and the result was
the officials managed to make $685.
where they should only make about
SIS, 900 per year.
Gen. Sanborn questioned whether it
was worth while for the chamber Of
commerce to prepare bill. At the last
session Of the legislature he had pre-
pared one which provided for consti-
