Does Baby
Thrive?

If your baby is delicate
and Sickly and its food does
not nouriSh it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nouriSh them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
fhe element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1T is as useful for them in
hummer as in winter.
ASK yOHr doctor if This is not true.

CONSIDER THE HOG.
AN INDUSTRY WHICH DESERVES SOME
CREDIT FOR OUR PROSPERITY.

In the Last Packing Year 20, OOO, 900 Hogs
Passed Through the Western Establish
ments. Coming Out in 3,333. 333, 1913 lbs.
of Lard, Pork, Ribs ana Hams.
1t is decidedly unfair to an industry
with which the name of Chicago is in
separately linked and to an animal
whose rotund and bristly back bears
no small share of the burden of west
ern economy to attribute all credit for
the country's financial salvation to the
wheat field and the corn field, says the
Chicago Daily News.
No possible grouping of figures in
respect to the yield. price and exports
of grain is more striking and impor-
tant in accounting for the great eco
nomic advance of the agricultural
classes than the st ltistics of the hog
industry are.
1t is true that Il e country enjoyed
an unusually large yield of wheat and
corn for which greatly advanced prices
were received. BU consider the hog!
In the packing gear, which ended
this spring, 2OOO0,OOO hogs passed
through western establishments and
came out in 1888, 1893, 1873 1-3 pounds Of
lard, pork ribs and hams No such
figures were ever before presented as a
result of single years hog manufac-
ture in this country. The largest pre-
vious total was in the year 1861
when 100000 hogs were packed in
the west, yielding 2,S12 900 900 pounds
of product. For the hogs packed in
the last year S175, 0Q0, 0O9 was paid, an
increase of 100000 GOO over the cost of
the hogs packed in the preceding year.
In the last calendar year $1,000, 900
pounds of hog product were exported
against 1,1S3, 100000 pounds in the pre-
ceding year-last years total being the
largest ever recorded. And the ex-
ports so far in this calendar year have
been ahead even oflast year. The treas
ury department report for April shows
S53,SOO,OO0 worth CT hog products ex-
ported in the four months of 1898,
which compares with sos, 500, 900 worth
of breadstuffs and $S7 100000 worth of
cotton. That is, the exports of hog
products equaled "a per cent of the
grain and flour exports and 60 per cent.
of the cotton exports.
And this increased production and
sale Of hog products has gone on in
conjunction with a rise in price rela-
lively as important as that which has
taken place in the wheat and corn mar
kets. King corn and king cotton and
king wheat are entitled to due praise,
but do not overlook the imperial hog.

ON THE THAMES.
Work of the Yale and Harvard Crews
 Yesterday.

Gales Ferry, Conn.,, June 14-At z o'clock this evening the varsity crew went out in the Glasper shell and row. ed over to the west shore preparatory for a pull over the four mile course. The air was close and the tide running high so that the conditions for fast time were not very favorable and no time was taken. Extra precautions were taken to prevent the@men taking cold and clothing, sweaters, etc, were donned by the men when they were taken aboard the launch at the end of the course
 pr. Daniel Jones, who was substi- the physical condition of the men and arrived here to-day. He found the men in the best of physical condition except Blake at No. 2, who has bad cold, and which has affected his work. Though by no means ill his condition causes some little anxiety lest it might necessitate change in the crew It is hoped that this will not be necessary but as the date of the race is so near if change Is to be made it will have to be made with little delay. The var sity and freshmen were both out this evening together and rowed several stretches down the river in short spurts. Coming back they raced the last half mile with the varsity cvrew coming in ahead by a length and a half.

THE NEVIS FROM MADRID.
Hopes Run High Over Germany's Al-s
 legged Attitude.

1cACu fAathsuuCs
 Madrid, June 14.--2 p. n.-The Span ish press has increased it's optimism, based on the belief that Germany in- tends to prevent bonbardment of Manila, by making naval demonstra- ton. The newspapers urge sacrifices with the view of securing Germany's assistance. and political leaders express themselves in favor of offering Ger many the following concessions in re- turn for her taking the initiative in checking America:
 Firstly-Naval stations and coaling depots in Spanish Oceanica
 Secondly-Spanish concurrence in the de- veopment of Germany's commercial and political relations with Morocco.
 It was officially announced to-day that Senor Dubosc, the former Spanish charge d'affaires at Washington, and Lieutenant Carranza,. the former Span ish naval attache at Washington, have been invited" to leave Canada, owing to the Canadian authorities having in tercepted 8 letter which Lieutenant Carranza addressed to the minister of marine, giving an account of the con- dition of the American Notifications"
 The minister for foreign affairs, Duke Almodovar de Rio, told the newspaper men this afternoon that the Spanish government had not taken any step in the direction of peace negotiations. The minister said he had not received any confirmation of the reported third att tack on Santiago de Cuba The min ister for war, Gen. Correa, declares the situation at Manila is better than was supposed He says Captain General August has concentrated 20,000 men for the defense of the city and his batteries of artillery are asserted to comprise 199 tlong range guns.

CONDITIONS AT GUANTANAMO.
Huntington's Marines Are in Danger
 Ous Position Some Criticism.


 Copyright, 1898, The Associated Press)
 On board the Associated Press dis patch boat Dandy, Guantanamo Bay, June 13, D. m., via Kingston, Jamaica, June 14, 11:40 a. m.-The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, which joined Admiral Sampson's fleet off Santiago this morn ing, is to be followed by the Ericsson, the Foote and other torpedo boats. The arrival of the torpedo fleet will confirm the opinion that Admiral Sampson in- tends to force the harbor on the coming of the troops. Every man in the fleet is anxiously awaiting the soldiery, for it Is recognized that no direct move ment Is possible until the troops affect a landing.
 Everybody is desperately tired of the present disheartening conditions. The tedious manoeuvres, the ceasless watch ing and the eXasperating inactivity are telling on officers and men. At no place are the troop ships more anxiously watched for than on the -blistered hilltop where Lieutenant Colonel Hunt ington's six hundred marines iei rifle

pits under an almost continuous hail of Spanish bullets. Forty-eight hours of ceaseless firing has well nigh wrecked the men, who arrived here incapacitat- ed for active field duty by the long/wait on the Panther.
 With few exceptions, however, the marines show spirit under the persist ent fire of the Spanish bushwhackers. To-day the work has been the lightest since the landing on Friday, the Span iards having fired few shots since day
 break. Whether the enemy has been
 driven back to the city or has merely
 retired for the day cannot be told until
 darkness has arrived. The guerillas show little liking for the sunlight. A grim touch of realism was added to the
 warlike scenes when the flags on land and on the ships were placed at half
 mast at noon to-day and the gallant
 Sergeant Major Goode was buried on the stony hillside scarcely twenty paces from the spot where he fell last night.
 The burial service was impressive, as
 the men felt that their situation was desperate and only said that they ex-
 pected to be gradually slaughtered un- til the arrival of the troops
 The men freely criticise policy which compels them to hold position that could be re-taken, they say, by half an hours shelling but not the faintest disposition Is manifested to do otherwise than fight 1t out. The Tex as, Marblehead and Porter have been lying close to the marines and forti- fications all day, taking advantage of the opportunity to coal. The Dolphin
 arrived late last night and spent the
 greater part of the forenoon pitching
 shells into the Spanish blockhouse be- lieved to be the rendezvous of the
 Spaniards. How much damage was
 done 1t is impossible to learn.
 A bombardment of the city and forts of Guantanamo was expected this af ternoon but the plan was abandoned. Despite the heat the health of the
 marines ashore is excellent, aside from exhaustion. On board the ships in the harbor the weather is delightfully."- cool and the sailors here like those off San tiago are in generally good health
 There Is a good deal of complaint as to the insufficient food supply on the ships. The ward room mess on one | ship here sat down to-day to corn beef
 and hardtack The officers of many | vessels complain of the shortage of | necessaries like flour, potatoes and ice.

NEUTRALITY AND CABLES.
Some Anxiety as to Course of French Company at Hayti.

Washington, June 14-There is some anxiety as to the course of the opera tors of the French company at Hayti when they receive messages from Ad- miral Sampson. Should they refuse to handle them over neutral lines, touch ing neutral territory, an interesting in- ternational question might arise. The same condition exists as to the Manila cable, and the failure to receive dis patches from Manila is attributed to the failure of the British operators at Hong Kong to take the messages. It was stated tonight that negotiations were now progressing which gave promise of a satisfactory understand ing with the companies and the for warding of such messages as the Amer ican admiral should send

 Secretary Long Last Night.
 Washington, June 14.-Substantial recognition has been given by the navy department to the members of the gal lant crew who took the Merrimac into the entrance of Santiago harbor and sunk her across the channel under the very muzzles of the Spanish guns. This evening Secretary Long signed orders to Admiral Sampson directing the pro- motion or all the members of the crew. Lieutenant Hobson's reward will come later through congress. The men still finger in a Spanish prison, but when they return to their ships their pro- motions will be awaiting them. The orders to Admiral Sampson direct the promotion of the men as follows: Daniel Montague, master at arms to be q boatswain, from $50 month to $500 q year
 gunner, from $50 month to $500 a year. Randolph ClauSen, Osborne Deignan and - Murphy, coxswains, to be chief boat swain's mates, an increase of S20 month. George F.

THE MELINE MINISTRY FALLS.
4 TERRIBLE UPROAR IN FRENCH
 CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

After Giving the Government n Vote of
 Confidence the Deputies Switch About
 and Defeat the Ministry by n Vote of
 296 to 246-Opinion Freely Expressed
 That Meline Will Resign.
 Paris, June 14--The chamber of dep-
 uties to-day, by 295 to 272, passed a
 vote Of confidence in the government.
 The house was crowded, as were the
 public galleries, and all present eagerly
 discussed the situation. The premier, M. Moline, opened the proceedings by vehemently repudiating the statement
 that he was engaged in an anti-demo- cratic policy, but he declared that the accession of socialism to power would spell ruin for France.
 Minister Bourgeois followed, taunting M. Moline with being unwilling to out himself free from the Rightists and several extreme Leftists
 M Rihot then delivered warm eu- logy of the premier and proposed vote of confidence in the government. But
 it was received with loud protests from the Rightists. M. Moline, however, ac- cepted the terms of the motion, where's
 upon M. Cassagao charged him with throwing over the Rightists. The pre-
 mier retorted that he had never asked for the support of the Rightists. The first part of M. Ribot's motion,
 '.the chamber approving the declara- tions of the government" was then adopted by a vote of 295 to PIP. and the second part, lis determined to put in force the policy of democratic reform,
 based on the union of republicans, was adopted by 425 to 5. Thus far matters went comparatively smoothly. Then M Henri Ricard moved to add the | words and supported by a majority | exclusively republican," M. Moline re- fused to accept this addition. M. Ri- card insisted upon a vote, and the ad- | dition was carried by a vote of 268 to l 246, whereupon there was a terrible up- i roar. The members of the extreme left l rose en masse and shouted for the re- l tirement of M. Moline. M. Borteaux | yelled, "Get out, you are defeated. ~ Others, pointing to the ministerial l bench, indulged in chorus of ''boohs. | The socialists vociferated resign, re- sign" When lull occurred another 1 vote was taken on the entire motion 1 which M Moline accepted, swallowing the obnoxious addition, and the motion was accepted.
 Later the Moline ministry was de- l feated in the chamber of deputies by l 296 to 246 votes, amid intense excite I ment and an uproar. Tn the Hobbies of l the chamber, the opinion was freely
 expressed that NJ Moline would resign | after the council tomorrow, though nothing is certain owing to the con- l tradictory character of the votes. M. l Moline returned to his residence inn
 mediately after the adjournment of the chamber, declining to receive anykoasyF
