WASHINGTON, July president
Mckinley to-day presented to the
French ambassador, NJ. Cambon, a su-
perb silver loving cup in recognition of
the ambassadors friendly services in
the negotiations which restored peace
between the United States and Spain.
The beautiful testimonial was sent by
Secretary Hay to the French embassy,
accompanied by a note from the Sec
retary, tnWhich, speaking for the Pres
ident, he EXPRESSED sincere appreciation
of NJ. Cambon's :considerate and disin-
terested services and rendered the= low

felt for him. = ~. .,-..= u:
+ The cup is. of massive proportions and

significance Of the gift is shown. in the
blending of. the French. and American
coats=of arms. It stands about=tWo and
a half feet high, with the top OF the
bowl about ten inches across. The
outer surface is silver richly embossed,
While. the inside is Of hammered gold.
Around the outside Of the bowl, In
raised old English text, runs the fol-
lowing inscription: Presented by The
President of the United States to his
EXcellency, Mules Cambon, Embas-
sador of France In token. Of his friendly
services In the negotiation of the pro-
tocol of peace between the " United
States and Spain, August 10, 1898. =. :: =:

Under the circumstances the letter will
remain sealed and the box unopened
until the ambassadors return, which
is expected shortly. After receiving his
recent degree of LID. from Harvard
he went to Manchester by the-Sea for
few days. The Presidents gift will
be an entire surprise to him and will be
gratifying alike for its personal as well
as its national significance. The Queen

MONTEREY, Mexico, July 1.-The
yellow fever situation in Southern Mex
leo is very alarming. The epidemic has
spread to SO many coast and remote
interior points that the danger of the
contagion becoming general throughout
the low lands of the country is very
great. DR.. L. e. Cofer of the United
States Marine Hospital service has gone
to Vera Cruz, where he will conduct
thorough investigation of the epidemic
with a view of adopting some method
that will insure against the disease
being carried TO United States ports
and border points.
In conjunction with this proposed
precautionary method DR.. Cofer has all
ready arranged with the officials of the
railways entering the City of Mexico
and from Vera Cruz and all lntermediate
points, as we'll as from all other places
south of that city, to keep check on
all passengers and to notify the United

PITTSBURG, July There now
seems to be no doubt that there will be
an extensive strike at the Homestead
plant of the Carnegie Steel Company.
Whether or not the contest will rival
that inaugurated July l, 1892, remains
to be seen.
The question at issue is practically
the same, as in 1S92-recognition by the
company of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion-and the men seem determined to
stand by their intention to. the: very
last. The company. on the. other hand
has announced. deeisiveIy that no Anal

somewhat in doubt, as the men:* claim
to have been successful in having at
least 500 skilled steel workers quit work..
thereby seriously crippling the mill. @*=
The company, however, announced
that the mills were running full during:
the night and this forenoon up to the.
time Of closing down Of the Saturday.
There are $500 men now employed at
the Homestead Steel Works. of whom
200G. are: skilled Worknlen eligible to

of 1892 are in favor of the present

A.1nass meeting of workers was held
tonight. 1t was largely attended and
addresses were made by officials and
leaders of the Amalgamated @Assocfa-
ton: The speakers dwelt particularly
on the benefits of organization and inn
pressed on their audience the necessity
of a united stand In the present crisis.

LONDON, July Mention has al
ready been made about two under
ground railroads which are now near
ing completion to the new tunnel un-
der the Thames to the great central
thoroughfare, which is being made at
an enormous cost, appropriating val
liable property and sweeping away
whole blocks Of buildings in the space
of three-Quarters of a mile, between
Holborn and the Strand, but there are
two more great schemes on mana now;
One of these is another underground
railroad, or rather tram. as it is called
The County Council seems to like the
scheme. which, of course, means that
it Is safe. 1t will for one thing not De
anything like so expensive to build as
the other underground systems.
1t will be just under the paVements
and will do away with many incon.
venient, and, most important or
all those abominable street disturb
ances caused by repairing water pipes,
telegraph, electric mains and cables,
which at present are always causing
such inconvenience through the pulling
.:up=of the streets. All these pipes will
#be carried, hereafter. in the conduit De
signed for the town. The fact is that
traffic in the Strand is already badly
*congested under normal conditions,
without being subject to block by the
tearing up of the pavement.
Undoubtedly the County Council is
watkins. up They are making the pub
lie open its eyes, too, though the latter
cannot quite make up its mind whether
to grumble or look pleased.
Seven million eight hundred and nifty
.one dollars is the latest little amount
the County Council has added to its
Improvement scheme account. This is

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-
ton by Dieting Dangerous
-. ..:. !. and Useless One.

We say the old way, but really II is a
very common one at the present time ana
many dyspeptics and physicians as well
consider the first step to take In attempt
ing to cure Indigestion is to diet. either by
selecting certain foods and rejecting 9TH
ers. .:or to: greatly diminish the quantity
usually taken; in other words, the star
Vation plan is supposed by many to be the
first essential.
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure has been proven time and
again. but still the moment dyspepsia
makes its appearance a course of dieting
IS at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. It Is foolish
and unScientific to recommend dieting to
a man suffering from dyspepsia. because
Indigestion itself starves every organ,
every nerve and every fiber of the body
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good,
wholesome, well cooked food; and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to digest
it This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted,
and this Is the method by which they cure
the worst cases of dyspepsia. in other
words. the patient eats plenty of whole
some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
digest it for him.. In this way the system
is nourished and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest the
food whether the stomach works or not.
One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains
of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's
Tablets is the purest and safest remedy
for stomach troubles, and every trial
makes one more friend for this excellent
preparatio Sold for so cents for full
sized packages at all drug stores.

County Claimed Seven Times over.

Another owner Of visionary land IN
Georgia has been discovered In party In
New York city who writes Secretary of
State Cook that he holds title to 1900
acres of arabic prop erty in Montgomery
County, and will in the near future come
to Georgia for the express purpose of
walking into his inheritance. Up to the
present time title has been presented, pres dn OF
and on. for something over 900 600 acres
While only a seventh of that amount actu-
ally lies in the county. It has been
known for years that the fraudulent
grants of land made in 1749, during. the
Administration of Governor Matthews,
did little credit to the record of that Gov
ernors administration, but the awful and
apparently endless extent Of the fraud has
only begun to be. realized within the last
few years.-Savannah News.
