GOVERNOR P1NeREE's Wall.
Complains That Federal OmcehOld-
ers Are Against Him.

Detroit Oct. 22.-The fight between Gov
Pingree and the old regime. as represent
ed by Federal officeholders. has been car
ried to President Mckinley through the
agency of an open letter by Pingree.
which begins:
las governor of Michigan deem it my
duty to call to your attention certain
matters of vital Importance to every tax
payer"
Then he recites how the Atkinson bill
for specific taxation of rarroads was kill
ed by Senator Preston, who resigned
Federal appointment.
Senator Preston" he saws, took his
seat and voted against the bill on PROM
Use of reappointment, which promise was
kept after the close of the session. l have
no desire to antagonize the Administra-
ton. but all the blame for thwarting the
will of the people of this State must be
placed where ii belongs.
Il am in possession of positive proof
that John T. Rich. collector of customs.
and Charles Wright collector of internal
revenue, have promised Federal positions
to men who will go to the convention to be
held in this city for the purpose of nomi-
eating Republican candidates for the SEN
ate If they Will vote against the men who
voted for the tax bill last session Such
conduct on the part of Federal appointecs
can but react not only upon the candi-
date for Congress but upon an Admins
tration which allows practices of this
kind to continue. BY unanimous action
the Republican State convention pledged
support to the Atkinson bill.
Having been placed at the head of the
ticket i deem it my duty to demand in
the interest of the people of Michigan
that you compel those holding federal po-
sitions to refrain from further attempts
to corrupt men elected to represent the
people of this State"
In support of his charges Gov. Pingree
furnishes documentary evidence and affi-
davits duplicating Rich. Wright and John
A Matthews, Senatorial candidate, in
an attempt to influence C. H. Frost to
buck" the Pingree legislation.

AN uNLucKY LANDING.
Severe Accident Met by a Trio of
EnElish TOurists.

,Sh8u6h TOurtHt0s
New York, Oct. 22.-Three tourists, who
arrived last night on the Lucania on a
pleasure trip to the United States, while
riding In q carriage at Waverly Place and
sixth Avenue. were run down by an cleo
trio car and barely escaped being killed.
One man -had-a finger torn off and the
others were badly bruised. The men are
Percy Baker, OF Bristol, England. Arthur
b. Jarvis of Liverpool. England. and AL
exander McEwen, of Glasgow. Scotland.
Upon arriving at the Cunard Line pier,
they engaged Peter Garvey. a hack driy-
er, OF No. 335 West Houston Street, to
take them to the Hotel Marlborough.
Garvey whipped up his horses and drove
to Waverly Place. Here he turned east.
intending to drive to Third Avenue, and
proached Sixth Avenue shortly before .
o'clock, as a south bound electric car
bore swiftly down from Clinton Place.
Garvey saw 1t. but thought he had
time to get across. Apparently the mo-
torman was of the same opinion. for he
made no effort to stop the car until 1t
was too late to avoid collision. The
car struck the carriage at full speed and
hurled 1t almost into the gutter. Gar
vey was thrown from his seat. The men
in the carriage had opened a door when
they saw that a crash was unavoidable.
and were hurled through 1t to the pave
ment
The car was crowded with passengers.
many of whom became excited and ran
into the street. Several women were
seized with Mysteries. and for a few mo-
ments all was commotion.
The tourists were picked up partially
| stunned and covered with mud. They
were taken into neighboring drug
store. where 1t was discovered that the
small finger of Mr.. Bakers left hand
had been torn of. An ambulance was
! quickly summoned from st. Vincent
Hospital, and he was taken to the insti-
| tuition.
His friends. while suffering from Sc
| we're bruises, refused medical aid and
hurried to the hotel. The carriage was
| wrecked. Gavory escaped with few
trifiing injuries.
Mr.. Baker does not know how his fin
| ger was severed. but he thinks 1t became
| jammed in the door.
| There were no arrests, as 1t appeared
evident that both the motorman ami the
driver were equally at fault, and neither
| Mr. Baker nor his friends would make Q
| complaint.

REGULATING SANTIAGO.
The City Being Cleaned and Prices of
Food Are Lower.

Eood Are Lower.
Santiago, Aug. Yesterdays sick
report shows a decrease of cases, but
an increase in the number Of deaths.
The surgeons say that this Increase in
the mortality is due to the excessive
heat which now prevails here and to
the humidity which is almost over
powering. During the last four days
the sun has burned the city like
steady blast from furnace. The
humidity is above 90 per cent. indi-
eating the near approach of heavy and
continuous rains.
The local physicians, who have the
best understanding of Santiago's
health conditions. are very hopeful
that General Woods determined eff
forts to clean the city viii result in Il
marked decrease in the usual amount
of autumnal sickness. Over GOO tons
of refuse has been gathered up from
the streets and burned since the work
was begun. Two hundred men and
fifty carts are now engaged in clean
ing the streets. Two gangs of men
are working night and day in burying
the dead bodies Of men and animals.
Until few days ago the death rate
among the citizens of Santiago was los
to los every twenty-four hours. Those
who died were mostly aged men and
women and young children, and deaths
We're mainly due TO hunger and priya
tions experienced during their flight
from Santiago to escape the threaten
ed bombardment. The municipal death
report yesterday. however, showed OH
ly forty-one In Santiago, fourteen in
the Spanish military hospital and four
in the suburbs of the city.
General Wood having learned to-day
that Santiago merchants dealing in ar
ticles of food and other necessarles of
life were demanding war prices for
their goods. called them together In
the governors palace and ordered
them to get their prices down immedi-
ately TO REASONABLE figures. The re-
suit OF this timely order is that meat
has now diOpped from 50 cents to -
cents n pound, bread from 20 cents to
3 cents loaf, rice from "A cents to Z
cents u pound. and other articles In

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. L. PAXTON, Youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
.DEAR Mrs. PrSKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others TO avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. / had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
~ took medicine from a good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when / read your advertisement in a
paper. l sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle l felt so much better that 1
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
- think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf--
fering from this trouble" :
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs Piukham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.
