A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing n
feeling of personal defiIement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

THE CAROLINA RACE RIOT
No Action Yet Taken by Congress.
Pritchard Expected to Make Some
Move-TheN Negro Congressman White
Expresses Himself on the subject

Washington, December S.-The North
and South Carolina members of con-
gress say no plan has been formulated
yet as to congressional action on the
recent race troubles in the Carolinas.
There had been some talk Of a congress
sional investigation, but no move in
that direction has been made by the
house members and one of them said
today hat it was probable the matter
would be left to Senator Pritchard, Of
North Carolina, who is said to have in
contemplation some kind of inquiry.
Representative White, the colored
member from North Carolina, arrived
here today. H" severely arraigns the
leaders of the recent Carolina mobs and
says the race issue has about reached
the point where the negro must face
either determination or emigration. In
his view he expresses regret that the
presidents message did not deal with
the race question. White has prepared
no investigation resolutions and he
expresses doubt whether much can be
expected from federal inquiry or inter-
ventiOn.

A GERMANS L
: Lecture on the Spanish War by the
German Officer Who Accompanied
Our Army

Berlin, December S.-Count Won Goet-
zen, former military attachee at the
German embassy in Washington, who
was commissioned by Emperor Will
liam to accompany the United States
army during the Spanish -American
war for purposes of observation and
report, addressed a large and distin-
guished audience this evening at the
Kaiserhof on "The New Colonial Pow
ers." The most of his hearers were
members of the colonial society. There
were some 300 military men present.
The lecture, whach dealt largely with
the war, was illustrated by photo
graphs which COAnt Goetzen o per-
F., s~onally-views of the embarkatiOn at
Tampa, the camps, the landings in
d. Cuba IN of scenes in the fighting
around Santiago.
The lecturer spoke Sympathetically
of the Am erican army and nayy ex-
i, cept so far as the volunteers were con-
i. cerned. He said tine only good votun-
teers were the Rough-Riders. He
severely condemned the insurgents,
who, he, saiG, rendered. little assistance
to the Americans. He did not see a
single white among the insurgents ex-
cept those am the Officers. He SAID
the dynamite guns proved ineffective
j because they slacked distance appara-
tus. He praised General Skaters
treatment of the foreign Officers who
accompanied his staff.
The United States regulars were
characterized by the lecture az a
most excellent sbody, though small"
and their uniform as practical"
A portion of the lecture was devoted
to a description Of the extreme diff
Guilty with which .Poth the Americas
Count Won Goeksen p~rophesled a
great future for tie new American
colonies, ,beeaelse, he said, the Amer
leans .ane prime colox.ists."

Washington, December THE sec
rotary of war in a report to congress
says that an investigation of Tampa
Bay, Fla, from Port Tampa to the
mouth of the bay on the gulf shows
that a channel of contemplated depth
of thirty feet over the bar could not
be permanently maintained without
the constant use of dredges and that
there will be places in the bay that will
require dredging from time to time to
maintain channel depths. The estimat-
ed cost of such improvement is $685.
600 1t is not thought advisable to go
to this expense, but it is considered as
probably advisable to secure a channel

it wise to waste no further time
on sprays, washes, inhaling mix

the only remedy which can reach
the very bottom of the disease
and cure it permanently.

CAN STAND AGAINST THE wesLD
M. Chanberlain,s Opinion Il d
Strength Of an AnxIo-Amerfcan ALI.

Mr. Chanberlainss Opinion OF d
ancc
London, December s-Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain. secretary Of state
for the colonies, speaking at a conserv-
alive gathe ing in Wakefield, York
shire, this evening. fully discussed
home and foreign affairs and the gov
ernment's policy in Egypt, which. he
said, depended entirely upon the pos
sibility of reaching an understanding
with France. "a thing which Is impos-
sible SO long as the French pursue a
policy Of transportation"
With regard to the relations between
Great Britain and Russia, in n
tion with the far east, he said that
while hitherto the ~endeavors to reach
an agreement had failed, he believed
an agreement with Russia was neces-
sary, unless very serious complications
were to be encountered.
Il am more sanguine of arriving at
a settlement" a Mr.. Chamberlain,
because it is not for our interest
alone. The objects we have in view
are shared ais by the United States,
Gremany and Japan, all Of which have
identical interests. 1 dare say you have
observed the very pregnant passage in
the resent message of President Nc
Kinley to the United States congress.
the passage referring to the very i'm
portant interests Of America in the
east in which he declares thai these
interests shall not be prejudiced by ex-
elusive treatment. That is a very
noteworthy passage and without being
a prophet, l think I shall not be too
sanguine if / say that in the future
we shall not stand alone as guardians
of the open door,.
Mr.. Chamberlain then referred to the
charge of Inconsistency brought
against him in boasting of Great Bril-
tain's splendid isolation" and then as
to alliances. He said:
when / referred to isolation,
meant the isolation of the British en-
pire comprising the United Kingdom
n our children yer seas who are
well able to defend their own posses
sions and their own exclusive inter-
estS against all attacks, b~utssurely it
is not unreasonable to seek an alliance
n to expect cooperation where the
interests involved are those Of others
as we'll as ourselves.
"In the case of Germany W. have
ascertained by a friendly and frank
interchange Of opinion hat there are
many interests regarding which we
can assist one another.
But, if I congratulate you on the
development of good feeling between
us and a great continental state, still
more do I rejoice at the growth of
friendly relations between ourselves
and our colonies, between ourselves
and the United States. Already the
United States. if regarded from the
standpoint of potential resource, is
the greatest of civilized states-with
it's immense population of intelligent
citizens, chiefly Anglo-Saxons, and il
we are assured of the Anglo-Saxor
race, whether it abides under thu
Stars and Stripes or the Union Jack
there is no other combination that car
make us afraid.

PLEADS GUILTY
President Marsh of the Defunct Key.
stone National Bank of Philadelphia
Throws Himself on the Mercy of the
Cnnrf

SOuIt
Philadelphia, December 7.-Gideon
w. Marsh, former president of the Key
stone National bank, the disastrous
failure of which institution was pub
licly announced March 20, 1891, today
pleaded guilty before Judge Butler, in
the United States district court to in
dictments charging him with conspir-
acy with Cashier Lawrence in mis-
applying the funds of the bank and
making false reports of the banks con-
ditiOn to the comptroller OF the cur
rency. He vas remanded for sentence
until Tuesday next.
After Marsh had entered his plea of
guilty his counsel asked the courts
permission to present a statement of
his client which would show mitigating
circumstances in connection with the
commission of the acts to which he
had pleaded guilty. Counsel Informed
the court that this statement would
show that after Mr.. Marsh had assum-
ed the presidency of the bank he found
that there existed a deficiency in the
bank of over $1,000, 900. He had no
doubt erred in covering this deficit,
but the load was too much for the bank
to carry and finally resulted in it's
failure. Counsel said the defendant
had never profited n dollar through
the banks losses and that when he fled
over seven years ago he had not with
him one dollar of the banks money.
Judge Butler. however, informed the
counsel that he would receive no state
ment except matter pertaining directly
to the indictment and the defendants
plea thereon. He would not permit a
statement to the court which did not
bear directly on the acts Of the de-
PENDANT and which had no interest
other than the qualification of public
curiosity.
VIM. Steele, former cashier ,of the
wrecked Chestnut Street National bank,
was also arraigned today and pleaded
not guilty to an indictment charging
him with aiding and abetting President
VIM. j. Singerley, (now deceased) in
the misrepresentation of the funds of
that institution.
