BULWER-CLAYT0N TREATY.
Secretary Hay and Premier Sails
bury Discussing It's AbrogatfOn.

DISC uSS1nG Its ADrOEaffOn.
NEW YORK, Jan. ga London
correspondent writes that the Near
aqua canal question has been taken up
by Secretary Hay and Lord Salisbury
in a practical rather than a contro-
versial spirit 1t is not probable that
either Of these statesmen is anxious to
attempt to unravel the tangled slSein
of diplomacy with which the Clayton
Bulwer treaty has been enmeshed in
the course of fifty years. They will
prefer to make a fresh start in spirit
of mutual accommodate ton and good
feeling
The practical business now in hand
is that Of adapting the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty to new conditions affecting the
interests of both countries. The COM
mercial interests of the world, and the
highest ends of civilization will be pro-
NOTED by the construction of a water
way through Central America. One
country may be more directly interest
ed than the other in the completion
and control of the interoceanic canal,
but both England and America will
benefit commercially by the opening Of
the waterway and neither can have
any adequate motive for hampering or
retarding a great work which will con-
tribute to the progress and civilization
of the world. On this high ground, the
two governments can meet and devise
practical measures for facilitating the
construction of the canal. and for pro-
viding for its control and maintenance
as neutral waterway. open at all
times to the shipping and navies of all
nations This is a policy which they
are now endeavoring to carry out in an
enlightened and progressive spirit,
worthy of the genius of the Anglo
Saxon race

HARRISBURG. Pa. Jan. 23 - A
statement was issued tonight by the
steering committee of the antt-Quay
organization, in part as follows:
We, the undersigned committee repre-
sentng and acting for and by the authority
OF the anti Quay Republican members of the
legislature, hereby enter our protest againr
the unwarranted and unusual attempted Inter
ference Of the chief executive of our state
with the members of the legislature for the
purpose OF influencing their votes for the
election OF M s. Quay to the United States
senate.
published by the press. this morning as an
improper interference by the executive branch
OF the government with the rights and duties
OF the legislative department of the common
wealth.
The statement then recites the al
legged efforts of Senator Quay to evade
trial on the conspiracy charges against
him. and continuing, says:
While these proceedings were to be argued
IN the supreme court On the 7th Of January.
Mr.. Quay attempted to force caucus on the
Sd Of January eight hours after the organiza-
ton OF the legislature.
This monstrous proposition wiped aside all
presidents and we declined to vote for NJ
s. Quay until he had been acquitted of these
criminal charges. which he had adroitly
lodged.
Notwithstanding the above the governor OF
this commonwealth brushes aside the court
and jury, and all the criminal charges In the
case, and upon the naked statement of D.
I. Watson, the paid attorney Of NJ. s. Quay
declares Mr.. Quay innocent and the victim
Of political persecution.
Upon the ground of party regularity the
governor urges the election Of NJ 8. Quay
while at the same time he, as we'll as all
others, knows that Mr.. Quay cannot be elect
ed by Republican votes, and that Mr.. Quay
and his lieutenants are desperately soliciting
Democratic votes the only means of re-
electing him to the senate.
For these reasons do most emphatically
dissent from the sentiments expressed in the
open letter Of the governor, blieving that
nine-tenths of the people OF the state agree
with and endorse our action.
The fifth ballot for United States
senator today showed no change In the
situation. Senator Quay still leads
with twelve votes short of the neces-
sary number to elect.

GIANTS TO ORDER.
Mayor of an Indiana Town Said to
Possess "A Marvellous Gift.


BLUFF'TON, Ind, Jan. 25.-This sec
ton of Wells county, especially this
quiet municipality, has been in the
throes of remarkable sensation. in
which the mayor. OF zBlufton figures
as the discoverer of an infallable rem
edy for making ldwarfs into giants.
and who also claims to be able to reg
ulate the growth of children. The proof
OF his marvellous power, it is said eX-
lists in Bluffton, where several hun
dred short-statured men have been de-
veloped into stalwart HOLSTERS
According to a local paper which
treats the matter with the utmost Sc
robustness, he has regulated the growth
of $50 persons, who now cheerfuIly
bear testimony to his wonderful pow
ers- 1t is told of the mayor that he
acquired the secret when he was nine
teen years of age. Asked as to the
method employed, the executive said
it was all done with a common Irvine
string, with which he measured the
children, or adults.
"A child must be measured by a per-
son endowed with the power to sus-
pend the natural influences that over
shadow the subject says the mayor.
"A child is measured from head to
foot and the string used is wrapped
in the hinge of a. door in such a way
that 1t will wear as the door opens and
closes. When the string is worn out
the subject begins to grow or shrink,
at the will of the manipulation.
Hundreds of Button residents are
firm believers in the special gifts Of
his remarka BILE power in controlling
human growth. The mayor declares
it is a personal gift, and the people CT
the town believe that he does all he
claims.
He refuses to divulge his secret, ex-
cept to refer to the twine-string meas
urements accompanied by the conven-
tionaI mysterious lamentations and
laying on of hands.
Envious people say the mayor is fig
uring on reelection, and expects his
majority vote from reconstructed
dWarfs.

STARTED WITH A COLD.
lean Physicians, and He Proves
What He Says.

'It is surprising what mistakes even
some Of the best people in the world
make"
The speaker was one of the greatest
doctors the world has ever known, and
he resides in New York.
Take for example one of the most
common things in the world. namely,
a cold. People speak OF taking cold,
there is really no such thing.
A cold is a symptom-an effect, not
a cause. Did you ever know an abso-
lutely well and healthy person who
took cold? 1 never have, even under
the greatest exposure. Yes, indeed,
cold is a symptom, not cause.
The gentlemen and ladies to whom
the doctor was speaking exchanged
looks of establishment, but they did not
dispute the words of the learned doc
tor.
You NAV be surprised" he contin-
ued. when I tell you that nine-tenths
of all colds occur because those great
organs of tie body, the kidneys, are
out of order.
More mea and women are troubled
with imperfect kidneys than with any
other known form of disease. The I'M
fortunate thing about it is that they
Go not know that this is their trouble.
Why? Because all difficulties. de-
rangementS and diseases or the KID
news which come TO both men and
women are usually without any pain;
in fact. without any symptoms what
ever. and this proves just what I said
at first. namely, that a cold is a symp-

There was a look of amazement upon
the faces Of his hearers.
Indeed" continued the doctor, most
deliberately and earnestly Il assert
that the grip, which has been so dis
astrous. which has brought so much
trouble into the world. would never
have had its run if the kidneys of those
who had suffered from it had been in
perfect condition. These great organs.
in unclogged, would have thrown the
disease from the system so that the
grip would have been unknown.
Now there is but one great discov-
cry for the prevention and cure of all
kidney difficultieS-that grand remedy,
Warmers Safe Cure. No class of peo-
pie know or realize this better than
the medical profession, and no class is
more ready to acknowledge Il.
Take my word. anyone who is care
fui upon the first approach of a cold or
grip and goes right TO the seat OF all
colds-the kidneys-will not suffer long
from a cold; will not be oppressed by
the grip and need have no fear of
pneumonia, because the kidneys, IN

throw the germs of disease out OF the
