nothing Of an alarming nature has
received from uOilO, there is no doubt
that members Of the administration
view the situation as somewhat serious
and are anxiOusiy awaiting further
news No apprehension, however, is
felt as to the result Of any collision
which might take place between
United States forces now on the is
land and the natives, but the presi-
dent is very anxious to avoid any en-
counter whatever. He feels certain
that if the natives can be made to un-
derstand that this government
comes to them in most friendly and
helpful spirit, there will be no further
trouble and so he has given instruc-
tiOns to Gen Miller that the utmost
patience must be exercised and every
reasonable request granted in order
to avoid an open rupture. Members
Of the administration express the
opinion that the delay Ia the rati-
hcatiOn of the treaty Of peace
has contributed not a little to the
belligerent spirit shown by the ma
tives and as soon as that has been dis
posed Of, it is believed that the recalei-
trant element will accept it as a no
tice that the sovereignty Of the island
has passed to the United States and
that no opposition to its formal pos

net meeting to-day the situation in

HICKS FOR SEPTEMBER.

Mr.. Ira Hicks, the weather progncst:

which the season shifts to opposite ends
of our little terrestrial sphere and one
must look for great and violent activity
among the elemental forces. The first
storm period for September lies between
the End and Tth During the firsC part
of the period a warm wave will move
ont from the western part % the conti-
nent, and it depends upon either CONT
mental or equatorial storms whether tile
wave viii be followed by warm or cooler
weather. The globe will pass through Il
magnetic crisis from about the 9th to
the 10Th. As this will be special pcrtur-
bation, there will be magnetic and clec-
trical phenomena out of the normal or
der. We can also look for phenomenally
warm weather. Meteorological pertur-
baton touching 18th, 18th and 10Th. Sc

NORTH POLE MYSTERIES.

The return of an Arctic explorer clears
up many mysteries, who says that much
new land was discovered in Weddell
Sea, and open water was seen far to the
south. This shows that the great wall
of ice reported by early explorers was a
myth. Arctic explorers are not the only
ones who meet with receptions. Many
people with indigestion and dyspepsia
have been deceived so many times that
they believe there is no cure. They can
be cured though hundreds of medicines
have failed. Take the only reliable med
icine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which also cures constipation, nervous
ness, sleeplessness and liver and kidney
disorders. Do not accept a substitute.
