Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when il is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hairs

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Forecast OF Some of Its Important
Features

WASHINGTON. II. c.. Nov. 90
President Mckinley expects to COM
plete his message TO Congress within
the next few days. He has outlined
the salient points OF IL TO the members
of his Cabinet, and a practical agree
ment has been reached as to all ques-
tions Of policy. The determination to
retain the Philippines, IL Is said, is cx-
pressed with the utmost clearness, so
that Congress may have no doubt as
to the position of the Administration
in regard TO the matter.
According to present Intentions, tho
President Will leave the question of
civil government In Cuba for the CON
sideration of Congress, but will recon-
mend immediate attention 20 the ne
cessity for a stable territorial govern
ment of some kind for Porto Rico and
Hawaii.
The recommendation as TO the gov
ernment for the Philippines will not
be specific, but it is probable a suggcs-
tion will be made that Congress
should send a commission there, no
that by taking its report, together
with that of the commission which
recently returned. a system OF legisla-
tion for the islands may be agreed
upon.
The President is working steadily on
the first draft of the message. debating
extracts from the Department reports
to a stenographer and writing para
graphs to define the policy of the Nd
ministration with his own hand.
President Mckinley is n rapid work
er, and hopes TO have the message I'm
type before Thanksgiving Day. II will
be subject to revision particularly I'm
the historical part. so as 20 bring the
report on the condition of the ingurrec-
tion in the Philippines down TO the
! latest possible date.

May Not be Urged in The Message
Of The President.
MEMBER OF CABINET TALKS
The Law Makers VIII Probably
Await the Report of the New
Comm sSior.

WASHINGTON, Noy. ia men,
Der of the Cabinet is authority for the
statement that the President will have
little if anything to say in his regular
respecting the Nicaragua ca
nal. He may send a special message
upon this question, but even that is
not certain. Commenting upon this
aspect Of the waterway, this member
of the Cabinet said tonight;
"If Congress wants anything done.
in the language of the street, 1T is up
to Congress to say what action shall
be taken. When, at the last session of
Congress, in a cowardly fashion they
purchased peace by the appointment of
a commission to make another report,
it postponed action for two years at
least There was absolutely no neces-
sity for the appointment Of this COM
mission, but the men who opposed the
construction of the canal were strong
enough to defeat any measure unless
the appointment of the new commits
sion was agreed upon, and the advo-
Gates of the waterway foOlishly walked
into the trap and surrendered. Con-
gress having directed the appointment
of the commission and the President
having carried out the wishes of Conl
gres6, there is now nothing for the
President to do until the commission
makes its report. From what / have
heard, | do not believe there will be
any report during the coming session.
Congress, of course, has it in its
power to proceed in the matter with
out waiting for a report, and if the
friends of the waterway have good
judgment and the right amount of
nerve, they will force the issue and
make the men who are blocking the
construction of the waterway show
their hands. But / am afraid nothing
will be done, and that the tactics of
the opposition in wasting time will be
successful"

ELDERLY OFFICERS MUST GO.
Otis Will Weed Out the Enfeebled
Veterans

Otis Will Weed Out the Enfeebled
Veterans
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA large
number of army officers now in the
Philippines are likely to be retired pre-
maturely on account of incapacity.
General Otis was struck with the
large number of older officers of his
command who were constantly on the
sick list or who were applying for sick
leave. The surgeons have had their
hands full attending to disabled Off
GERS and in many instances have re-
ported the patients unfit for duty. Cen
eral Otis was led to ask the War De-
paTtment for a board which should sit
in Manila and before which he might
order those officers who were pro-
nounced by the doctors as incapacited.
The department furnished General
Otis with the names OF high ranking
officers who could compose the person
mel of such a board, and gave Otis au-
thority to order the officers before the
board for examination. It is expected
that a large number of the senior Off
GERS with the troops in the Philippines
will be reported for retirement on ac-
count of physical disability, many of
them having served and been wound
ed in the campaign Of Santiago. This
is the case with Captain Brett Of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry, who has been
recommended for retirement, and who
was shot in the elbow in Cuba and has
been on sick leave for some weeks in
Manila.
General Otis only recently asked for
twenty additional surgeons. He found
that the army doctors have had all
they can do with the troops widely dis
tributed and the sick leaves growing
week by week The climate is telling
upon the officers and men, and while
the disability is not serious, it Is nee
essary that a doctor shall attend each
separate command if the health of the
corps in the Philippines is to be pre-
served.
General Otis request has been com
piled with, and there are now in the
Philippines or under orders fer that
place about fifty surgeons. Gen. Otis
has been advised of this and has mott
fed the department that the provision
made for medical officers is ample for
the present.
