GLADSTONE AS A CHEMIST.

II Mr.. Gladstone seldom INDUCED in
sarcasm, is was not because he lacked
the gift-for he possessed it in a high
d~egree-but because he forbode to use
1t. To hurt an opponents feelings gave
him pain. and when he did it unin-
tentionally he would sometimes cross
the floor of the house, and, sitting for
a few moments by the side of the man
whom he had Just demolished. saw
something to assuage the wound. One
of his persistent. but never i'll
natured, critics was the late Sir John
Pope Hennessy, who told the fellow
ing story to illustrate this generous
trait in Mr.. G~ladstone's character.
Sir John prided himself on his
knowledge Of chemistry. and in one OF
the debates on thte commercial treaty
with France he made q speech expos
ing, as he believed. a serious chemical
blunder in the treaty. Mr.. Gladstone
followed. and soon turned me inside
out In the most amusing manner" said
Hennessy in relating the story, prov
ing as If he had been a chemist by pro-
fession. that 1t was I who had blunder.
ed egregiously." Having thus disposed
OF his critic, Mr.. Gladstone went and
sat by him for a moment. 81 hope you
don't feel hurt, Mr.. Hennessy," he said.
Your speech was ingenious, and it may
console you to know that the Emperor
Of the French made precisely the same
objection that you have made. The
fact Is, both you and he knew a good
teal about chemistry. but not enough
to keep YOU from going astray."-

IN ITALY

The recent bread riots in Italy are boz
lieved to be simply mutterings before
the storm. The trouble is the people
are overtaxed. A great part of their
earnings is taken by re E5Ternment.
AS times go by the crisis approaches,
and the end is likely to be the same as
in the American revolution. Many men
and women try to do too much. They
their system as governments
their subjects. Then comes a
breakdown. The stomach, kidneys,
liver and nerves are affected. What is
required is a medicine like Hostettcr's
Stomach Bitters to restore the strength
and build up new and healthy tissues.
All druggists will supply it, and the
will be astonished after taking
it to e how quickly it acts.

THE STUDY OF GEOGRAPHY.

Geography is not only one of the
most Interesting studies, but one Of the
most important as well. 1t is not OF
value to the student alone, but to every
man and woman who wishes to keep
IN touch with the happenings of the
great world about them. The news
from distant parts of the earth, which
is brought to the breakfast table every
morning, is much of it little better
than Greek to the person who is I'M
familiar with geography. In fact the
stirring events of the world compel
those who desire to have the correct
knowledge of them TO be daily students
of this important branch Of education.
This truth is apparent to anyone who
has tried to follow the course OF our
war with Spain. Before Admiral Dew
ey's victory how many people knew the
location of Manila and the Philippine
islands? The Cape Verde islands,
where the Spanish fleet modified, and
the Dry Tortugas where our own fleet
collected, preparatory to the search
for Cervera and the bombardment OF
Santiago de Cuba, are now familiar
names.
During the past year we have had in
~teresting news from Alaska, Armenia,
Japan, China, India, Greece and Tur-
key. In these troublous times, a
knowledge of the geographical forma-
ton of the countries Of the globe, their
colonies, and the location Of the chief
towns and rivers is Indispensable to
one who would read his daily paper in
diligently.
Approaching the great usefulness OF
accurate and clear maps in studying
the various phases Of the war, The Re
publican has arranged with Rand, Nc
Nally & Co., Of Chicago, for the new
Standard Wal Atlas. The Atlas con-
tains sixteen pages of the latest and
best war maps published, comprising
four double-page maps (21x2S inches)
Of the World, North America, Europe
and Oceania, and ven full-page maps
f4X21 inches) of Cuba. the West In
dies, South America, China, Spain and
Portugal. Asia, Africa and the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands. Enlarged
sections show ports Matanzas. Santi-
ago de Cuba, San Juan and Cienfue-
Cos; also CaIicnas and Santa Clara
bays. They are beautifully printed on
heavy map paper, and bound in an at
tractive paper cover.
This atlas should not be confounded
with the numerous cheap aliases sold
at the stores. It is entirely new, and
can be obtained only from The Re-
publican or its regular agents.
Every reader is recommended to
procure one at once, and thus be able
to watch the strategic movements of
our army and navy from the vantage
point Of knowledge.
The Atlas will be given free with each
prepaid six months subscription to the
Daily Republican, or will be sold for
so cents per copy.

HERE is THE MODERN ANANIAS.
He Was Among Strange Liars, But He
Made Them Ashamed.

A tall thin a better known IN the
St. Lawrence in the bass season than
anywhere, stepped from the steamer
one noon recently at Santa Catalina
island, California. The boatman who
W the stands along shore, and who
have a keen eye out from prosperous
looking visitors with a rod, did not
give him a second glance. A dark-eyed
tuna fisher moved up to give the
stranger a seat, and then continued his
conversation. Some n had just land
ed with a catch Of forty barracudas,
and he was discussing 1t.
But you should see the Florida bar
racudas. I killed one in Bahama some
years ago that measured eighteen feet
in diameter"
The stranger shifted his seat ner-
vously.
Its teethe were like young bowie
knives. and dozens Of men are killed
by the mevery year. This is one I took
on a zee; 1T was a sort Of arrangement
fixed into the stern OF the boat and
turned on a crank, and when we hook
ed the fish I began to work on 1t, and
for ten hours I wound and worked,
during which, that barracuda towed our
boat from Bull Pup key to Punta
Gorda. a distance of twelve miles,
where we finally killed it on the beach.
1t weighed 290 pounds, and its bite was
deadly poison"
That's a remarkable story" said
the stranger, who did not seem espec-
tally pleased, but it is nothing to
what 1 have seen in the Gulf of Pana-
ma, where the sharks are so thinck
thai when you go fishing you have to
dynamite h bay kill them of. But what
l was getting at was the story of the
first mate of the Mozambique. She
came in with her flag at half mast, and
1t seemed that the mate had put after
a whale. She was a whaler, and had
fired at a big sulphur bottom, the u
'harpoon striking in the tail, passing
directly along the spine. and coming
out OF the mouth. When the ANIMAL
was hit 1t t"rnde AROUND so quickly to
see what had struck 1t that the har-
pooh. In coming out OF the whales
mouth, struck the unfortunate man
and killed him."

his face and afterward ordering a ne

Gibara merchants. Some merchants
refused to comply with his demands,
w%hereupon he ordered that they should
pay double the mount Of his first ex-
action. Garcia also ordered the arrest
OF over 1,40O Spanish residents, who
were liberated after the arrival of the
lnfanta Isabel. 1t is reported that Cen
eral Garcia resigned on the 18th inst.
and his command was taken over by
the leader Luis Feria. Nothing is
known, however. in official circles re-
garding the report that Garcia had re-
signed and that his resignation had

CORRESPONDENTS STAY OUT.
Blanco Will Not Allow Them to Enter

Havana, Aug. 23.-The authorities
have declined to allow the landing OF
a number Of American correspondents
who arrived on the harbor this morn

resentatives of the New York Herald,
New York World, Chicago Record, New

NOT SO MUCH AS EXPECTED.
Not More Than $4,000, 900 Brought
From Klondike This Year.

San Francvisco, Aug. 11.-F. A.
Leach, superintendent OF the United
States mint in this city, estimated that
the gold output of the Klondike this
year has been only about s 5000, 900.
The receipts Of the mint here have
Amounted to about 81, 75O. 900 since the
first arrival Of Yukon gold a few weeks
ago. The receipts of the Seattle as
say once have been about the same.
The largest single deposit at the mint
here was 1920, 600. Mr.. Leach estimated
that about $250,0OO in dust and nuggets
has gone a S and that there is about
$1,000, 900 more of the seasons output
yet to reach this country. 1t is stated
that the dust brought out by the North
American Trading and Transportation
company was sent east and was not
included in Mr.. Leach's figures. This
amount might possibly reach $500, 900.
From this showing it would appear
that 46,0OO,0 900 would be a sAfe and
conservative estimate Of the entire Yu-
kon output, including the American
side as we'll as the Klondike.

Cambon Gets Instructions From Spain
to Sign the Protocol.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 12.-(Spe-
CT al.)-The dispatch authorizing Cam
bon to sign the protocol looking to a
cessation of hostilities began to arrive
at the French embassy early this after
noon. NJ. Cambon ordered the cipher
translated into French and then into
English ait once. n
Cambon said that as soon as the
translation was completed, his secretary
would take a copy to the state depart
ment and arrange for him to visit the
department and sign the protocol with
the United States secretary OF state.
The message, according to a Madrid
dispatch, simply covers authority for
Cambon to sign, but the state depart
ment is wondering why the message is
30 long. 1t had not all arrived at the
French legation at 2:30 this afternoon.

SURRENDER OF HAVANA.
Expected at Any Time Owing to Des-
perate Straits of Spaniards.

Washington, Aug. IA rumor was
afloat today that Havana has sur
rendered owing to the Cuban activity
and an aversion to surrendering to Gu
bans, but this failed of confirmation at
all points where such news would nat
urally find its way. If phase Of the
campaign could influence the Spah-
ish government to speedy action in the
consummation of the peace protocol,
1t would be the attitude Of the Cubans
under Gomez in the northern part of
Santiago province. just outside the line
marking the territory conceded to the
United States in Toral's surrender.
Officials here have known the Spanish
garrisons at Holquin and in some
smaller towns on the north coast and
interior were in desperate straits for
food and war supplies and had suffered
an enormous percentage Of loss from
disease, and had not our own forces
under Smarter been checked in the OPP
%erations by an epidemic fever, a strong
column would have been thrown north
ward and have forced the surrender of
all these scattered detachments of
Spanish troops. Now, however, the
Cubans under Gomez apparently have
determined to forestall the American
commanders in this movement, and 1t
is reported have recouped several
small towns evacuated by the Spanish
and are pressing at the doors of Hol
gum.
The matter has given some concern
to military commanders, as this Cuban
effort, IL successful, may result in soon
bringing our government to a pass
where it must find itself obliged to rec
ognize a government set up by Gomez
in his march or come to an open issue
with the insurgents and forbid them
from conducting further operations,
except whare sanctnioned by the man-
ayers Of III W campaign.
AS is the case at Manila, so it is believ-
ed at Holguin. the Spanish command
err would much prefer to surrender, if
Obliged to surrender at all, to the
United States authorities, and not to
the Cubans. There are political rea-
sons why the Spanish government
should impress this course upon its
military commanders, seeking, as it
has done, to induce the United States
