GREAT BRITAIN
WANTS AN EXCHANGE

New York, April! PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Although
willing to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, Great Britain has made it plain to
the United States that she expects an
equivalent in return for her action. This
equivalent will be exacted during the
negotiations of the American Canadian
commission, which is to resume it's
sessions in Washington in August next.
1t is because of a demand for concessions
equal in value to hat which would give
to the United States an abrogation of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, that the negotia-
tions have not progressed with the
promptness at first expected. 1t Is APP
parent to the officials now that Great
Britain proposes to use the postpOnement
to abrogate the treaty to further it's own
end in the settlement Of the Alaska boun-
dairy and reciprocity question.
Great Britain is determined to make
every effort to secure for her northwest
territory through Alaska and the United
States is not willing to give it to her. 1t
may be, therefore, that she will suggest
that in return for such an outlet she will
surrender all her rights in the Nicaragua
canal. President Mckinley and Secretary
Hay have determined not to enter into
any negotiations with either Costa RIGA
or Nicaragua respecting the Nicaragua
ANAL until the new isthmian canal COM
mission has submitted it's report. The
Nicaragua canal commission will report
| within a short time and the president will
then announce the members of the
isthmian commission. The new commits
sion will then proceed to Panama and
later to Nicaragua and it is the eXpecta-
ton Of the president that it will submit
it's report in time for consideration early
in the next session Of congress.

HIS U%TIERANCES
NOT WELL TIMED

New York. April PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: AS a re-
suit of his allusion to the conduct of the
German fleet at Manila during the war
with Spain, Capt. Joseph B. Coghlan, will,
in all probability, be relieved of the COM
mand OF the Raleigh. Secretary Long
will not discuss Capt. C~oghlan's conduct,
but he consented to say that no action
had been taken until he had heard from
that officer. 1t is presumed that Captain
Coghlan received the message by Secre-
tary Long Saturday and it is expected
that a reply will be in the hands of the
secretary tomorrow or Tuesday,. Until
action is taken in the matter it is hoped
by department officials that Captain
Coghlan will not make any further pub
lie u~tterances of a character rejecting
upon the conduct of Germany during the
war. The departments communication
indicates it's di%spleasure that Captain
Coghlan should permit himself to make
statements prejudicial to the friendly re-
lations between the United States and a
foreign government.

A FUGITIVE WITH A FORTUNE.

Kansas City Journal: There died in
KANSAS City, Kan, the other day." says
George Martin, "a quiet, u~nobtrusive,
modest, and never boastful citizen. He
came from a Pennsylvania regiment in
1864, and he became a messenger for the
Holiday Express company, running from
~LeaVenWorth to Santa Fee. w. H. Bird
gems, the messenger referred to, on one
of his trips had 800, 900 in ~greenbacks
strapped about his person and secreted
in his clothes. There was no one but him
and the driver in charge of the coach,
and for days they proceeded along their
lonesome journey without seeing a human
face. II
'When yet many miles from Santa Fe
they were OVertaken by a bowling band
of Indians and a fierce battle was fought.
Bridgens and his companion exhausted
their ammunition and continued the fight
with their knives. Finally they succeed
ed in unloosening their horses from the
stage, and. quickly mounting them, fled
through the timber The savages gave
chase and succeeded in separating the
TWO men, but did not capture either of
them. Mr.. Bridgens still retained his
treasure, but he lost his way among the
crags and canyons, and it was more than
two weeks before he found his way to the
house of a white man. During all this
time he subsisted entirely upon berries
and herbs. His long absence caused his
employers to believe that he had been
robbed and killed by the Indians, and be-
fore his return they had made good the
money they had given up as lost. When
Mr.. Bridgens returned with his precious
burden still intact they We're amazed. and
so grateful were they that they presented
their young agent with a handsome token
of their appreciation

ORANGE.

The gradual change of climate in
Louisiana has been very disastrous to the
orange growers, and the ran groves in
the south would soon have been abandon
ed entirely had, it not been for the intro
duction of the japanese trifoIiate. which,
crossed with ordinary variety, has stood
the recent severe blizzard, which killed
all the other orange trees in Louisiana.
Immediately on the weather bureaus
warning of the cold wave of February -
the orange growers, in fear of a repeti-
ton of the devastating frosts of three
years ago, took energetic but useless
steps to saw the trees that had just
reached the bearing stage since the last
wholesale destruction. Groves We're
flooded, orchards smudged and the trees
even covered with mating, but the re-
suits were the same in every case. Every
range tree was killed with the exception
of the trifoliate, and the discouraged or
ange rover have again taken heart
from the extraordinary hardness of this
, variety.
Owing to either the settlement of the
! upper country and the destruction of the
forests, or to some other cause, severe
winters are more frequent in Lower
Louisiana than of Did. The ordinary
sweet orange cannot stand a lower tenn
! perature than 20 degrees above zero, and
even 25 degrees will kill the young plants.
In the last 20 years the thermometer has
dropped to 16 or below three or four times.
Each time there was a Wholesale de-
struction of the orange trees, both young
and old, and the sour orange was grated
on producing a fruit of excellent quality,
able to stand eight or ten degrees more
of cold than its predecessor. The recent
blizzard, however, has demonstrated that
no trees can be grown that will stand
zero weather. The new Japanese orange
has come to the rescue just in time, for it
will stand this test.

A Number of Warships Are
Now Being Built
BY THE VARIOUS FIRMS
Some Are Battleshirs While a Large
Percentage is Torpedo Boats
and %DestrOyers.

New York, April PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
completion within a few months of two
great battleships, the Kearsarge and
Kentucky, serves to call attention to the
remarkable rate at which the American
navy is growing at the present time. Ex-
cept among naval officers who watch this
progress few persons realize that 4S war
ships are now under construction for the
United States, involving the expenditures
under existing contracts a~ggregating $33,-
1886, 800 for hulls and machinery alone.
These vessels, when equipped ready for
sea, will have cost over $50, 900, 900. Eight
of them are first-class sea-going battle
ships, as good as any afloat, without talk
ing into account the superiority of the
gunners, machinists and officers to man
them. Sixteen are torpedo boat destroy
ers, averaging 20 Knots speed, four are
heavy harbor defense monitors, one is a
sister cruiser to the New Orleans and Is
are torpedo boats.
One of the most notable facts about
this vast construction undertaking is its
distribution, exhibiting the great change
that has taken place in the ship building
industry since, at the organization of the
new navy, the American ships were built
by a single firm. Today IA American con-
Germs are building ships for the navy and
of these, II are scattered along the Attain
tic coast from Maine to Virginia and two
are on the Pacific. at Portland and San
Francisco. The sheathed cruiser alone is
foreign built. She was bought on the
stocks from Brazil when the war with
Spain became inevitable, because Brazil
would not sell one ship which the United
States desired without disposing of
the other at the same time. The
navy department needed the Anna
zon, as if for nothing else, to pre-
vent Spain from getting her. The
Nictheroy, at a valuation Of $575, 900, was
made a part of the deal and after a thor
ough overhauling has become the useful
Buffalo. The Amazon, as barely COM
pleted, cost 81, 429, 215 and was immediate
ly put to good service as the New Orleans,
being the only American warship in the
war provided with smokeless powder for
all batteries. Her sister ship, the Los
Almirante Brue, was then only a few ribs
at the ElsWick yards, but the navy de-
partment cheerfully took the contract off
the Brazilians' hands at the rate of 81, 2O5,-
900 and by adding $3.50, 600 to that amount
will soon have 2 fine cruiser in the AL
bany, recently launched.

SLEW TWO FILIPINO ASSASSlNS.

Among the gallant United States SOL
diers now at Manila who have performed
deeds which will win for them the covet-
ed medal of honor is Thomas Smith, a
private of Company f, South Dakota
volunteers. To him was also accorded
the honor Of being personally congratu-
lated by General Otis.
In an encounter with two Filipinos,
who sought to assassinate him while on
picket duty, Smith, after being badly
wounded, shot and instantly killed one Of
his assailants and wounded the other so
severely that he died a short time later.
Sergeant Kicker, Corporal Wheeler and
three privates. among them Private
Smith, were assigned to outpost duty at
No. 2, north of Manila. AT
$50 in the evening Private Smith went on
picket duty. His beat was one OF the
most dangerous patrolled by American
soldiers. passing along a narrow road
thickly fringed with trees and bamboo
thickets.
set, Private Smith discerned two Fill
pinos approaching him, apparently on
their way to Manila. They We're dressed
in white and walked in single file, one
about six feet behind the other. He chal-
lenged them and they answered promptly,
the first greeting with the words, "Buena
noche, amigo ("Good evening, friend').
Inc second TeDdtpu Tic SlettiiiS anu ~
COMMANDED it with a military salute.
Smith replied in English and, shouldering
his Springfield rifle, turned to resume his
beat.
Just as they passed him he carelessly
turned his head to look after them. This
fortunate circumstance saved his life, for
Immediately after passing him the second
Filipino drew a machete, Sprang at the
sentry and aimed a terrific blow at his
head.
The stroke would probably have sever
ed Private Smiths head from his body
had he not caught sight of the descend
ing knife in time to dodge slightly, AUS
ing the blade to miss it's mark. AS it was,
the blow was sufficient to cut his left
cheek open to the bone from the temple
to the jaw.
With the blood pouring forth in a
stream he Whirled to face the natives,
who instantly took to their heels in the
effort to escape. Smith raised his rifle
and shot one of the fleeing natives
through the heart before he had gone 20
feet. By this time he was so weak from
pain and loss of blood that he was forced
to drop to his knees, and while in that
position he reloaded his rife and fired a
shot at the other Filipino, who was Just
disappearing in the edge of the thicket at
the side of the road.
This shot also took effect, for the dead
body of the native was found next morn
ing in the thicket, he having evidently
crawled as far as possible before eX-
piring, for the body was discovered some
distance from the point where he disap-
peared in the underbrush as Smith fired
at him.
Comrades, attracted by the firing, rush
ed to the aid of the brave soldier, and
procuring a horse placed him upon the
animal and conveyed him three miles to
the company's quarters, where his wound
was dressed by the surgeons. Smith bled
so profusely tina in going the three miles
to the company's quarters his clothing
became thoroughly saturated, his shoes

CRIME is RAPIDLY
INCREASING NOW

Chicago, April 24.-Daniel f. Brewer, a
prominent physician, in a lecture advo-
Gated the establishment of a Tarpien
rock in Chicago, unless the city secures a
new code of crimina law. He said:
"The percentage of criminals has in
creased so rapidly in the United States
that we now have one habitual or heredi-
tary criminal in every 1000 persons.
Criminals propagate, marry and multi
ply unrestrained, and unless we change
our laws they will continue to increase
at the same ratio they have in the past,
until it is appalling to contemplate the
result. If Chicago does not soon have a
new code of criminal laws it would be
wiser to have a Tarpien rock, like the
Romans did, from which degenerates

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in EARLY Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter o.
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
T. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
tlnkham helped her:
"My health became SO poor that l
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. l was also troubled
with irregularity of menses I was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is q firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as !
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
a good color. l am completely cured OF
rregularity."

that of a cuckoo, and her back as grace
full as the neck of a swan. Lady CurzOn
was informed by her interpreter that

in for approval. She did not care to pur-
sue the theme.

was afterward taken to the hospital.
That a man after being SO severely
wounded should have the pluck not only
to face his foes and fight, out to kill one
OF his assailants on the spot and mortally
wound the other, excited the admiration
OF all the soldiers at Manila. He was
congratulated OF his plucky fight by
practically the whole army, wen General
Otis calling upon him while in the hos
pital and shaking hands with him and
