Eszr years England has not only
.BEssn far behind in this respect, but

STEPS TO improve the appliances used

fE-a improvements is better type Of
Steam fire engine. Doubtless the
chemical engines which render such

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK w1rH MRS. prNKHAM.I

A woman with the blues is a very UNI
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs Of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles, are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't UNDER
stand her condition should write to-
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a.
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. f. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than /
have had for the past ten years,
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ng women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you."
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound is a woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than a million wo-
men have been benefited by it.

SENATE DEMANDED INSTRUCTIONS
Given to Paris Pence Commissioners BY
President Mckinley.
Washington special SAYS: TI

NAfoM 70 LaAls = uCo NOHAtnlshi0M0EB ~
President Mckinley.
A Washington special says: The
resolution introduced, Thursday, by
Mr.. Hoar calling upon the president,
if not in his judgment incompatible
with the public interest, to commune
cate to the senate the instructions he
had given the commissioners who me-
gotiated the treaty of Paris, the cor
respondence which had passed be-
tween him and the department of state
and the commissioners and the reports
made by the commissioners either to
him or to the department of state, was
laid before the senate early in the
session Friday.
Mr.. Davis, one of the commission
ers, and chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, moved that the reso-
luton be referred to that committee.
Mr.. Hoar: "Mr. President, I object
to such reference of the resolution.
1t seems to me that the senate ought
to have the information called for by
the resolution, if in the Judgment of
the president it would be proper to
communicate it. 1 hope the motion
will be defeated.
Mr.. Davis: 81 hope the motion will
prevail"
After little debate in which Mr..
Hoar, Mr.. White, California, and Mr..
Allen, Nebraska, brought out the fact
that the call on the president for infor-
nation was not mandatory, and Mr.. Da-
Wis said that not to refer the resolu-
tion to the committee in charge of the
matter would be unprecedented. The
latter invoked the rules of the senate
and had the doors closed for an execu-
tive session.
In the secret legislative session of
the senate the proceedings continued
on the same lines as in the open ses-
sion, the senate finally agreeing with
out division to the resolution calling
for the instructions.
At 1896 pm. the senate, reconvened
in open session, and Mr.. Platt, Con-
necticut, secured the adoption of
resolution calling upon the secretary
of the interior for information con-
corning the cutting of dead and fallen
timber on the Chippewa Indian reser-
walton in Minnesota.
Mr.. Gallery, Louisiana, then adj
dressed the senate on the joint resolu-
ton offered by Mr. West, Missouri,
declaring that under the constitution
of the United States no power is given
to acquire territory to be held and
governed permanently as colonies.
Mr.. Caffery's speech was constitu-
tional argument in support of the dec
larations of the resolution. He de-
clared that the resolution went to the
very root of the question of the power
of the United States to establish per-
manently governments in territories
far distant from our own lands. He
proposed, he said, to institute an in
quiry into the basic principles of the
powers Of this government.

EXPLOSION KILLS NINE.
A Big Boiler Bursts and Plays Havoc With
life and Property.

Life and Property.
A London dispatch says: A big
boiler, while being tested in Hewitt's
shipbuilding yard at Barking, burst
Friday and the superintendent of
engineers and eight men were killed.
About forty were injured, some
fatally. The bodies of the dead were
frightfully mutilated. A lad was
found dead 800 yards from the scene
of the disaster. A number of men and
boys are missing.
The terrific force of the explosion
may be judged from the fact that one
of the huge plates of the boiler plung-
ed through building quarter of a
mile distant and that debris was
hurled hundreds of yards in all direc-
tions. The factory itself, which COW
cred several acres, was practically
RACED and all the dwellings aud shops
in its immediate vicinity were to all
intents and purposes wrecked aud
windows were shattered a mile away
and telegraph and telephone wires
were blown down on all sides.
Distressing scenes were witnessed
among the mothers, wives and other
relatives of the employees.

A Chinese living near Shanghai is
reported by the Singapore Free Press
as saying concerning Europeans:
"They certainly do not know how to
amuse themselves. You never see
them enjoy themselves by sitting upon
their ancestors graves. They jump
around and kick balls as If they
were paid to do It, Again, You will
find them making long tramps into
the country; but that Is probably
religious duty, for when they tramp
they wave sticks into the air, nobody
knows why. They have no. sense Of
dignity, for they may be found walk
ing with women. They even sit down
ut the same table with women and the
latter are served first

The DETACHMENT of rural scenery by

spite of frequent and vigorous pro
TESTS the evil custom seems to CON

Farmers have not keen appreciation

hgeeds contempt. They have spent

for the regulation of the customs in
Cuba. Any modification made by the
Havana authorities therefor in favor of
Santiago was nothing more than re-
currence to proper construction of

Insnrgents MAKE Threats.

A later dispatch from Manila says
Colonel Potter, the special emmisary
of General Otis between Manila and
Iloilo, arrived at Manila Sunday after
noon with dispatches from the latter
point The streets were baricaded,
and it was reported that the principal
buildings had been "kerosened, Z" the
insurgents having threatened to de-
stroy the whole business section
by fire at the first shot of lombard
ment. The banks were shipping
treasure to the United States trans
port Newport and other vessels. The
family of the American vice consul has
gone on board the Newport.
Colonel Potter reports that Presi-
dent McKinley's proclamation had to
be typewritten aboardship, as The
printers on shore declined to do the
work, and when the text of the proc
lamation was read to them they ridi-
culed the notion chat Cancellation was
possible.

The war department received anoth-
er dispatch Sunday from Major Gem
eral Otis, commanding the United
States troops in the Philippines. The
officials observe unusual retieence with
respect to its contents, but it is under
stood that the information contained
is of and unfavorable character or
such as to give undue concern to the
administration.
SO far as the officials are willing to
admit, the dispatch shows no material
change in the conditions existing at
the time of previous advices. One
officer said it contained nothing Of a
character alarming, serious or excit-
ing. There had been mo- collision with
the insurgents, he added, and not a
shot had been fred.
The presidents proclamation to the
Filipinos had been published in Ma
Mia, but General Otis did not say to
what extent it had been made known
to the inhabitants in the other parts
of the group of islands, nor whether
it had been published at Iloilo. At
the latter place General Miller has
been directed to land the troops I'M
der his command now on the trans
ports there, but the dispatch from
General Otis did not indicate whether
this had been done or not.

MANIFESTO By AGUINHLD)
INSURGENT LEADER Is PREPARED
TO RESIST GENERAL OTIS.
WILL HOLD OUT FOR INDEPENDENCE
Says No Agreement Was Made to Recog-
nize American SOvereignty-Latest
Advlcea From Philippines.

Advices received at Washington Sat-
urday from Manila state that within a
few hours after the proclamation by
Major General Otis in behalf of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the agents of Agui-
naldo billed Manila with manifesto
+ which attracted considerable atten-
ton.
The revolutionary president protest
ed against General Otis signing him
self military governor of the Philip
pine islands. Aguinaldo, in his mani
festo, declared he had never agreed at
Singapore, Hong Kong or elsewhere to
recognize the sovereignty of the Amer
leans, and insists that he returned TO
the Philippines on an American ship
solely to conquer the Spaniards and
win independence. He asserts that
both his procIamations, on May oath
and June 18th, stated this fact Off
cially, and he claims that Major Gen
eral Merritt confirmed this by proc
lamation several days before the Span
iards capitulated, stating clearly and
definitely that the American forces
came to overthrow the Spanish gov
eminent and liberate the Filipinos.
In conclusion, Agninaldo declared
that he had natives and foreigners as
witnesses that the American forces
recognized, not only by acts that the
Filipinos were belligerents, but by
publicly saluting the Filipino flag "as
it triumphantly sailed these seas be-
fore the eyes of all nations"
Aguinaldo then solemnly protested,
in the name of the diety who empowered
him to direct his brethren in the diff
cult task of regeneration, against the
intrusion of the American government,
reiterated that he can produce proofs
that he was brought here on the un-
derstanding that the Americans prom
ised him their cooperation to attain
independence.
The revolutionary leader then called
upon all his followers to work together
with force and assured them he is now
convinced that they will obtain abso-
lutte independence and urging them
never to turn ''from the glorious road"
on which they have ALREADY so far
advanced"
Major General Otis attaches no i'm
portance to the manifesto. He says
he feels confident that the opinion of
the better classes of the Filipinos is
not expressed In it, but as to whether
the Filipino masses can be controlled
and the Filipino army kept in check,
he does not know, although he hopes
for satisfactory outcome Of the
trouble.

WAS WITH LAWTON

Lieutenant Waiter X. Brown, Just
Returned From the:phi1ipplnes.
Was Adjutant OF Detachment
Ofthe third Infantry In Lawtoa's
Command.
Lieutenant Walter K. Brown, of the
Third infantry, U. s. A., on his way to
his home in Maine from the Philip
Hotel Dieu, having been obliged to
stop in this city to rest and recuper-
ate.
Lieutenant Brown was graduated
from West Point in February last
and immediately joined the Third in
fantry which was ready to leave for
the Philippines; His regiment ar
once into active service. He was made
adjutant of detachment In Lswton's
command and saw considerable fight
ing with the late intrepid gen.
eral.
Lieutenant Browns praise of General
Lawton ia almost extravsgaut. He said
yesterday: ''LawtOn was one of the
ways at the front. He would dash
ahead of his staff, where he could SEQ
the operations personally and direct
his men from the front instead of the
rear.
'DO I think he was recklessly
brave? No. His example Tad splen-
did effect on his troops. They fought
far better when they could see the tall
figure of Lawton in the great white
hat he wore. That Ia the reason he &C.
complished SO much. Had he remain
ed in the rear and depended upon his
staff officers he would have done COM
paratively nothing. Besides, he knew
better what to do than anyone else on
account of his experience in Indian
fighting and he knew that the only
way to direct his men as he wanted
them directed was to be at the front
himself.
Lieutenant Browns very weak, and
though he would have been glad to
tell much more about Lawton, his
nurse would not permit him to talk
longer. He went into bar
racks at the beginning of the rainy
season at Balawag. He was there TAX
en- with typhoid fever. He was i'll for
several weeks in the hospital at Manila.
After his recovery he was appointed
auartermaster in command Of a trans
port returning from Manila to San
Francisco. Upon his arrival in San
Francisco he failed again aud after
coming as far as Ell Paso collapsed
completely and was obliged to stop
here. He will remain at the Hotel
Dieu for q month, probably Though
having the frame OF q strong, vigorous
man, he ia very thin and emaciated

It is on the latter charge that the new
