"Best" is an easy boast. But there'4
no best without test. You expect some
thing extra of best; something extra in
bread from best -four; something extra in
wear from best cloth; something extra
in cures from best medicines. It's that,
something extra in Ayers Sarsaparilla that
makes Ayers the best That something
extra is quality. Remember, its quality

SAFE CONDUCT FOR ESTERHAZY.
ARRANGEMENTS BY THE COURT TO GET THE
COUNTS TESTIMONIAL TALK
WITH MERCER.

Paris Jan 1J-Arrangements have been made
to give Major Count Ferdinand Esterhazy
virtual safe-conduct to testify before the Court
Of Cessation in the Dreyfus revision inquiry,
the Count having been forwarded to NJ Mazeau,
First President OF the Court, synopsis OF the
evidence he is prepared to give.
General Mercier. who was Minister OF war al
the time Of the conviction Of Dreyfus, was seen
by a representative Of the "Soir' TO whom he
declared that in 1894 he knew nothing OF Count
Esterhazy or Of the atter's relations with Colo
mel Sandherr. "Dreyfus." he added. lied when
he pretended knew he had supplied documents
TO a foreign Power in order to obtain more I'M
portant documents in return, with view OF
obtaining some mitigation OF his sentence.
However I caused him to be asked the number
and value Of the documents he had so supplied
He refused and his refusal. therefore, pointed
to his guilt"
General Mercier asserted to the "Soir" repre-
sentative that the Dreyfus dossier contained
documents compromising the mutual relations
Of France Germany and Italy"
The "Soir" says that Count Won Munster, the
German Ambassador. who left Paris for Berlin

GERMANY AND THE PHILIPPINES.

London Jan 1G.-"The Times" says edtorialiy
this morning in the course Of reference to the
denial given last Friday ny Baron Won Bdlow,
German Minister Of Foreign Affairs through the
Berlin correspondent OF The Associated Press
to the reports that Germany had been intriguing
in the Philippines against the Americans
1T is to be regretted that the irresponsible
enthusiasm Of some Washington politicians
should have led to the use Of language unneces-
sarily offensive &c Germany. 1t may be be-
lieved that Aguinaldo and the insurgents
would have inclined to establish relations with
Germany or with any other Power, but, what
ever views Germany may formerly have held II
is certain that she has not the least idea now OF
interfering with the plans Of the United states
as TO the Philippines.
Rather than involve herself in such Difficult
ties she is more likely thinking Of the Caro-
lines which the American Government mas
advised!y refused TO concern itself about
Neither has England anything against German
ACQUISITION of the CarOlines.
