worthy to organize state function.

the relation of the church to the govern
ment. 1t states that while large MAORI

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle
of Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

Cuba Were All Reroes-Their Heroic
Efforts in Getting Ammunition and
Rations to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writ
ing from Santiago De Cuba on July 23d,
says: 1--WE all had diarrhoea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see doctor, for it
was case of rush and rush night and
day to keep the troops supplied with
ammunition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact, sim
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour
of our army, for if the packers had been
unable to work there would have been
no way of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in supply of
this medicine for our pack-train before
we left Tampa, and know in four cases
it absolutely saved life."

manufacturers of this medicine, the

STILL EXPORTING BREAD sTuFFs.
We Sent Out Enormous Amount of Flour
Last Week.

New York, September 28.-R. G. Dun
& Co. 8 weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
The country is not drawing on Europe
as largely to pay for breadstuffs as 1t did
a year ago and yet exports for the week,
flour included, have been 3,963. 2O4 bushels
from Atlantic ports. against 8, 81, 1858 last
year, and 543.4l7 from Pacific ports
against 1895, s93 last year, making for
three weeks l0,203, Al from both coasts,
flour included, against 1852, 1879 last
year. Prices have risen sharply, about
four cents for the week and the exports of
corn, though not as large as last year,
have been heavy in comparison with any
other year. The reports from diferent
cities disclose wonderful activity at tne
chief centers of western trade. -,
The iron and steel trade expands with Q
rapidity which throws into the shade all
expectations, with steel famine in Ger.
many and Great Britain in the market
for 10, 600 tons plates and the American
works are crowded for months ahead.
The delivery of boots and shoes have
been about 5000 cases larger than in any
previous year and 1000 cases or ten per
cent larger than in the year 1899 to date.
Reporters weekly statements show ship
ments of 270, $50 cases for three weeks of
September against 261 ,244 for the same
weeks in 1896 and 243, 280 In 1892 with
smaller shipments in the same weeks of
other years. The sales are not as large as
usual, though better grade OF shoes Is
being demanded and the retail trade Is
considerably more active. A strike OF the
workmen at Brockton interiors; with
shipments from that quarter. The Bos'
ton leather market IS narrow, with very
little demand tor hemlock sole or for oak
some buying of union leather, but trade
in other qualities limited. Hides are
stronger at Chicago. with q bitter ae-
lnand for packer COWS and for country
COWS, buff and calf skins, and the market
seems to be we'll sold up.
The textile industries are not sharing
the general improvement to full extent,
in part because the heavy decline In
cotton, with large stocks of goods accu-
mulating, makes the mills disposed to
wait for future developments, and In part
because the price Of wool is higher Than
the mills are at present disposed to pay.
Print cloth are q shade lower and also
brown drills, and in some wooden goods,
especially ladies' cloth, prices are slightly
reduced. There ia little disposition to
secure trade in wool by concessions, and
sales for three weeks have been only 10,

for tho same week last year and %, 4eS, zoo

Failures for the week have been 173 in
