WILLIAM SOUNDS OF
NOTE OF PEACE
Promises to be Most Watchfllof
His Subjects Interests.
WILL BE A GOOD GARDENER
To Till German Empire, Topping Off
Superfuous Branches, and Des-
troying Animals Which Seek
to Gnaw the Roots.

Berlin, February 4-Emperor William,
speaking at the annual banquet last night
of the Brandenburg diet, said:
1.-THE Hohenzollerns have always consid-
cred themselves responsible to God person
ally for their acts and a sense of RESPONSE
bility to the people has also been inherited
''When I stood on the Mount of Olives, 1
renewed the oath taken to the colors, not
to leave a stone unturned to assure the
welfare of the people,
His majesty recalled Marshal Won
Moltke's words to Prince Bismarck after
the Franco-German war: Now is the
time to see the tree grow" and said: Il
will be a good gardener to the tree of the
German empire, topping off the superfluous
branches and ferreting out and destroying
animals seeking to gnaw its roots. hope
I soon shall see the tree grandly develop
ing Before it stands the German Michael,
whose hand on the hilt of his sword, look
ing afar in order to guard it. Secure is the
pace which shelters behind the shield of
the German Michael and which is defended
by his sword.
ct is truly mangificent beginning for
all nations to desire to bring about peace
but mistake has been made in the calcu-
lations So long as unredeemed sin pre-
walls among mankind, SO long will there be
war, hatred, enmity and discord and so
long will man endeavor to overreach his
fellows. But what is law among men is
law among nations. Therefore we shall
strive that we Teutons stand together like
solid rock. May every wave threatening
peace break on this rock of bronze of the
German people, whether it be far away or
nigh unto at home" .et ~.
The emperor then added: peace must
be preserved at home and abroad and the
people of the Mark of Brandenburg above
all must lend me their help to do so.'

The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus,
Ohio:
Gentlemen-For years I have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system, and
no one knows the torture and misery I
have passed through. MY doctor has
prescribed various remedies, and have
never found any relief until was per-
suaded by friend to use DIR. Hartman's
Pe-ru-na. After the use of one bottle I
feel like a new man. 1t also cured me
of dropping I had in my throat, and
built my system up generally. To those
who are suffering With otarrh 1 take
pleasure in recommending your great
medicine. Very respectfully,
Thomas G. Fletcher.
Everything that affects the welfare of
the people is a legitimate subject of COM
ment to the real statesman. The states
man is not q narrow man. 1t is the poll
tician who is narrow. The true states
man looks out on the world as it is, and
seeks, as far as is in his power, to remedy
evils and encourage the good.

FIRST WEST VIRGINIA
Soldiers Pass Through the City En-
Route Home. "-u

About eight hundred soldiers of the First
West Virginia regiment, which was mus
tered out in Columbus, Ga, yesterday,
passed through here last night en- route to
Parkersburg, w. Va.
The trains came over the Central of Geor-
gia and left via the Louisville and Nash
vile. There were two sections of ten cars
each, one arriving at $780, and the other
at 2. They remained in the city about
thirty minutes, and for a short while the
town was full of soldiers. The boys were
all paid off before leaving Columbus and
the various lunch stands were tested to
their utmost capacity in waiting on the
trade. The saloons around the depot also
prospered, but as a general thing the boys
were very gentlemanly set, and though
jubilant over their newly acquired freedom,
no boisterous conduct was noticed The
luea that they were not soldiers, however
was forcibly impressed upon the spectator
by inscriptions and placards on their hats
with such notices thereon as Free at
last" II used to be a soldier" "I'll go to
the army again, l don't Think Weary
Willie" etc.
Both trains left. over the Louisville and
Nashville, and will arrive at Parkersburg
some time tomorrow.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE

1.-THE most interesting gossip in Mont
Jefferson" said gentleman just returned
from the capital. Senator Cunningham
is bitterly opposed to the bill, which has
passed the house, abolshng the commls-
sioners' cour of jefferson, and he is ored=
tied with the determination to use all pos
sible means to prevent it's passage. through
the senate. In the first place, he will make
his argument and then he will demand that
senators accord him the courtesy of voting
against the measure. If senator's pass the
bill over his protest, in disregard of sena-
torial courtesy, Senator Cunningham will
at once resign the presidency of the senate
and his seat as senator from. Jefferson; he
holding that if senators cannot trust him
to represent the people of his own county
his usefulness in the senate has ceased.
Another story current is that it has been
definitely ascertained that twenty-five SEN
ators, more than two-thirds of the full
senate, have determined to,vote for the bill
as it passed the house, while only five
senators are known to oppose it. So, If the
talk regarding Senator Cunningham's in
tentions be true, and the estimate of the
vote be likewise accurate, there will be an
other senatorial vacancy within the next
few days." '-9

Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming national curse. An UNI
doubted remedy has been discovered by
DR.. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the past forty
years. Prominent men have come to
know of its virtues and are making pub
lie utterances on the subject. To save
the country we must save the people.
To save the people we must protect
them from disease. The disease that "a
at once the most prevalent and stubborn
of cure is catarrh. Public men of all
parties recognize in Pe-ru-na national
catarrh remedy of unequaled merit.

Re-Enlisting volunteers.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Pursuing q
policy determined upon some months
ago, General Otis is organizing three
regiments in the Philippines, composed
of officers and mon Of the state volun-
teers who desire to remain in the serv-
ice. The army bill authorized this kind
of enlistment in the Philippines. IF the
full complement cannot be made up
from these discharged volunteers in
the Philippines the regiments will
be organized and offlcered in
skeleton form until recruits can
be sent from the United States
to fill them. General Otis and the
volunteer officers in the Philippines
have been consulting to see how many
men will enlist. The number has not
been very large, as there seems to be a
desire on the part Of the volunteers to
return to the United States with their
organizations. These three proposed
regiments, with three regiments OF
regulars to sail from San Francisco on
the 22d and Gath, and those under orders
for Manila, will give General Otis 80, 900
fighting men.

firms sugar refining business. Mr..
Jarvie's testimony was brief. He was
easy and courteous in his attitude to-
ward his inquisitors, refusing to an
swer only one question, viz, how much
it cost his companyto refine sugar.
He said he did not give information of
that sort to his business competitors.
His firm, he said, had never cut the
price Of sugar except to meet the rates
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, commonly known as the sugar
trust. When asked if the Arbuckles
would continue to meet their rivals fig
ures, he replied decisively that his firm
was in the refining business to stay.

Cubans With No Arms to Turn In As
sumo a Threatening Attitude.
HAVANA, June l6.-Lieutenant Col
onel Bisbee paid $50 men at Guanajay
yesterday and there are 500 still unpaid.
The arms of those who have been paid
have been delivered to the alcalde.
Many of those whe had no arms de-
manded arms from the mayor, but were
refused. The men then assumed a
threatening attitude and the officers in
command ordered troops to guard the
building and telegraphed to General
Brooke asking permission to extend the
time OF payment, as some Of the Gu
bans are entirely destitute and many of
them without means of returning to
their homes. The Cubans bought all
the revolvers in town and Cuban offic-
ers having rifles, sold them for as much
as $25. The arms will probably be re-
turned if the men are not paid, as they
were only purchased as a means of OBJ
tanning the paymaster's recognition.

Undertakes the Task of Form

ACCEPTS THE PREMIERSHIP.

Well Known Republican Leader Assumes
the War Portfolio In Addition to the
Presidency of the Council-Dreyfus Agi-
tation Is Still In Evidence.
PARIS, June 16.-M. Poincare in
formed President Loubet yesterday that
he would accept the task of forming q
cabinet. He will take the war portfolio,
In addition to the presidency of the
council.
M. Poincare conferred with President
Loubet last evening, reporting the ac-
ceptance by M. Guillinat of the colon
ial portfolio, M. Delombre of the port
folio of finance and M. Ribot of the
portfolio of public instruction.
M. Meline, in an interview with NJ.
Poincare, strongly urged the latter to
form a cabinet whose main plank will
be the settlement of the Dreyfus affair.
1t is now believed a majority of the
members of the chamber of deputies,
including many socialists, will be con-
tented with an order Of the day censur-
ing General Mercier, the former minis
ter of war, for the part which he has
taken in the Dreyfus case, instead of
his prosecution. If this could be done,
it would remove one of the most SER
ious causes Of friction between the
factions.
The Dreyfus agitation is far from
having subsided. Quarrels between
officers at Brest, where Dreyfus will
disembark, have just led to two duels,
and numerous mayors have been sus-
pended for refusing to placard the
Judgment of the court of cessation.
Madame Loubet received last week,
hundreds of anonymous threatening
letters, written upon superfne paper in
elegant penmanship.
