cERvERAs LACK OF COAL.
Naval Authorities Believe 1t 1t Bound to
Get Him Into Trouble Sooner or Later.

Washington, May 23.-The naval au-
thorities believe that the chances are
greatly lessened of Admiral Ceryera' s
prolonging bis elusive plan for any con-
siderable time.
There are several reasons for this, but
the main one is thatl the Spanish ships
have made inroads on their coal supply,
and the run across from Cape de Verde
used up the greater part. if not all, of
their supply. Since then stops have been
made at Martinique. Curacao and Santi-
ago, but at no one Of these places has it
been possible to take on more than
enough coal for temporary uses.
AT Martinique the French decree of
neutrality prevented the Spanish ships
from getting more than enough coal to
carry them TO the next port, which would
be 800 to 400 tons at most.
At Curacao the amount of coal secured
did not exceed 700 tons. At Santiago
there is no coal unless golfers have
brought it there recently, which Is not
believed TO have occurred.
AS against these small supplies the
Spanish ships have been consuming much
coal on their elusive runs.
There are no other coalfng depots in the
West Indian islands, open to the Spanish
ships, except for their most temporary
needs
The British islands, Jamaica, Barb a
does and others, are closed against them
by the decree making coal contraband of
war.
The Dutch islands will give them no
further coal relief as result Of negotia-
lions with the Dutch authorities follow
ing the coaling of the Spanish ships at
Curacao.
The Danish island of St. Thomas is
similarly closed against them. Guada.
loupe and other French islands have the
same restrictions as Martinique Haytien
ports are closed to them by strict treaty
provision between Haytf and the United
States, which the Haytien authorities
q Will sec Is not waived In the present case.
Santo domingo ports are similarly pro-
tected against the chance OF q recoaling
by Admiral Cervera's fleet.
Inc only relief possible is juncture
with GOLFERS from the osher SIDE A good
collier carries from 1000 to 1000 tons of
coal, and two or thres of them could COM
slerely recoal Admiral Cervera's feet.
Whether the Spanish will succeed in ar.
oomplishing this is still In doubt and it
is doubt upon which the large results de-
pend. The naval authorities are inclined
to the belief that the Spanish commander
is dangerously near coal famine If this
condition exists, or is likely to arise in
the near future, Admiral Cervera' {
position will be critical, even though he
does not meet the American ships.
He will be much in the position OF
Commodore Dewey after being warned
away from Hong Kong and before his
successful attack on Manila. The
Spanish admiral will be in the Caribbean
sea but he will not be able to get out Of
it.
Not less than 1000 tons Of coal would be
required to take him safely back to SPAR
or to the Cape Verde islands.

Two score Of human lives and more

Two score of human lives and more
than million dollars worth of prop
erty were destroyed bya tornado which
burst upon Fort Smith, Ark, few
minutes after II o'clock Tuesday night.
The storm tore its way through the
entire city, leaving path marked by
death and desolation. Men, women
and children asleep in their homes
awoke to meet death under falling
walls or in the flames which soon en-
quilted many of the wrecked buildings.
With the first crash of the storm busi-
ness blocks, mansions, hotels and cot
tages were leveled to the ground and
scattered in shapeless masses. When
the wrecks caught fire the infamma-
bic timbers burned fercely. A heavy
rain followed the tornado, and 1t was
probably twenty minutes before the
city awoke to the fact that it had been
visited by a fearful calamity. Dread
full confusion reigned all night, and 1t
was not until the following day that
anything ike order was restored.
About forty bodies have been taken
from the ruins, and there may be still
others buried in the debris. The ad-
Joining sections of the State were dew
astated by the same storm.

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being consti-
tutional disease, requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa,
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
it's work. The proprietors have so much

IT is said in Washington that the
extreme free silver men will oppose
Senator Faulkner as chairman of the
national Democratic congressional
committee. 1t will be remembered
that Senator Faulkner was not warm
advocate Of free silver prior to 1895,
but when the Chicago platform de-
clsred for it he promptly fell in line,
and as chairman of the committee was
indefatigable in his labors for the sue
cess of the party. Now, the report
goes, Mr.. Faulkner is to be deposed
and a free silver man from way back
is to be made chairman. The Sena-
tor is quite willing to be relieved OF
the arduous duties of his position, but
in our opinion the party can 60 furth-
or and fare much worse.

The Hostetter Co. Wins Another Case.
Infringements on Their BItters Not Tolerated
by United States Court


The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York,
Judge Townsend presiding, handed down
an opinion Decent Der 23d, 1897, granting
Injunction and accounting, in the SUIT
of The Hostetter Company against Isaac
Sommers and Louis Joseph, for infringe
ment of its Trade Mark. The jurist
states. in bold and clear language, the
rights accruing to the Hostetter Com
pany. and the liability incurred by all
who would rob them, by fraud or mis-
representation. of the well-earned repu-
tatiun and profits of a business built up
by the efforts of half century. The
Judge says, in part
The complainant is entitled to pro-
lection against the appropriation OF ITS
trade mark, by any and all unfair ana
dishonorable means, and court OF
equity has power TO grant such protec-
ton whenever il is satisfied that an at
tempt has been made by ingenious sub
terfuges, toinvade the rights of an owner
of trade mark. In the sharp
contest between the individual manu-
facturer, who strives to acquire and re-
tain the fruits Of industry and honesty,
and the field of keen rivals, seeking TO
wrest from him the prize of the public
good will, the inventive ingenuity of the
infringer has conceived a great variety
of devices for evading the established
rules of fair dealings. Courts OF
equity finding that their ultimate object
and effect were to enable and induce the
retail seller Of a fraudulent imitation 10
palm it off on an unsuspecting public
for the genuine article, and thus TO con
tribute to the infringement upon the
rights of the original owner, have not
hesitated to apply the remedy"

EVERYBODY will remember the ire
mendous fight made by the New York
banks in favor of "honest money
prosperity" and the other virtuous
objects for which it was claimed the
Republican ticket stood last year. The
banks were quite successful in fOoling
the people, and now they have little
surprise for their customers. They
have resolved to reduce the interest
one-half per cent, and the indications
are that another half will be cut off
before long. This is just one more
sample of the way the money lenders
of New York get the better of those
who put their trust in them.

THE Hon. Mark Hanna has won his
fight in Ohio. 1t was the bitterest
contest ever known in that State OF in
teresting political events, and Miriam
ma won by the slenderest sort ola mar
gin. AS stated last week, the Repub-
lican opponents of Mr.. Hanna, aided
by the Democrats, succeeded in organ
izing the Legislature against him. 1t
looked very much as if he would be
defeated when the vote for Senator was
taken. Tremendous pressure was
brought to bear upon the boiling Re-
publlcan,, however, it is quite likely
that barrels of Doodle were used, and
by Tuesday, when the vote was taken
Hanna had corralled the doubtful
members. He got the necessary 70
votes, each house voting separately.
Mr.. Hanna no doubt feels good over
his election, but there will be some po-
litical debts that he will not forget to
pay with interest. He will have plen-
ty of time for revenge, for he will be
Senator, if he lives and does not re-
sign, until 1905. Governor Bushnell,
Senator Foraker and other Republi-
cans who openly and secretly fought
him will never be forgotten, and we
anticipate that it will be many moons
before the Ratchet is buried in Ohio,

The Birth of the "Greater" New York

With the dawn of the new year the
'Greater" New York is ushered into the
world full grown giant. The problem
of municipal government is to be put TO
the supremest test. Within its limits
is contained a population equal to that
of thirteen of our soveign States at our
last census, and as numerous as that of
the original thirteen States. Provis-
ions for the life and health of this vast
multitude of all nations and chimes is
an unsolved enigma. Thousands of suf-
ferers in New York and elsewhere are
wrested from the grasp of that agonizing
complaint, rheumatism, by the timely
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is a preventive of malaria and
kidney complaint, and a curative of
liver complaint, constipation and ner-
vousness.

In an open letter to the Wheeling
Iateligencer Hon. John W. Mason
advocates a State convention to name
a candidate for the United States Sem
ate, thus taking what usually proves
to be very ugly political matter from
the Legislature. We think the sug-
gestion has many good points. We
would get better Legislature, prOba-
bly,, if this matter was not allowed to
influence the selection of its members,
and the whole party would have a
voice in the matter. 1t is getting near
to what we have long advocated, name
ly, the election of Senators by popular
vote.

THE present agitation ofthe pension
question may not result in purging the
rolls of the names Of the thousands that
have been fraudulently placed there,
but it will have the effect of preventing
much rascality in the future. The
leaders of the G. A. R. are now inter-
esting themselves in the pension lists,
and they will use their influence to
make them what they ought to be, a
roll of honor, instead of vehicle for
robbery. 1t is well for the govern
ment to be generous to those who really
deserve pensions, but it cannot afford
to take care of bummers and frauds.
