been claimed that Chamberlain's
Pain Balm would cast out demons,
but il will cure rheumatism, and
hundreds bear testimony to the

plication relieves the pain, and
this quick relief which it affords is
alone worth many times its cost.

LONDON, February 4.-Ethan Allan
Hitchcock, the retiring American Am
bassador to Russia, who was recently
appointed United States Secretary Of the
Interior, arrived i'm London to-day on
his way to Washington. He carries home
the strongest pro-Russlan sympathies.
In an interview had with him by a rep
resentative Of the Associated Press, Mr..
Hitchcock denounced emphatically the
stories current since the beginning or the
9ispano-American war that Russia was
a member Of coalition Of Continental
Powers which would have interfered had
not England refused to join them.
"These stories are utterly unfounded."
said Mr.. Hitchcock. There has never
been a single item of proof produced 10
substantiate them and. on the contrary,
Russia has been most friendly toward the
United States, and has manifested THAI
friendship during the past year in many
ways Of which my position forbids me to
speak"
Like most persons making the acquaint-
ance Of the Car. Mr.. Hitchcock has a
profound admiration for the young po-
tentate and expresses himself strongly
as to his frankness, sincerity, and enter
prise.
TALK WITH HIS MAJESTY.
After the formal presentation of his let
| tiers Of recall, on Saturday last, Mr.. Hitch
| cock had a long, personal talk with the
| Car and Count Muraveff, the Russian
Foreign Minister.
He SCOTS at the idea that the C2ar''
peace propaganda is proposed from an!
but the highest motives. Regarding tn
Cars proposition looking to the limita
ton Of ornaments. Mr. Hitchcock said;
"The Car is in nowise discouraged b.
the reception of his plans for checking
the increase Of ornaments. He has no
any idea that he will achieve all he de
sres Immediately. but is firm in the be
lief that his views must prevail in time
and not far distant time"

themselves some eight-inch gun-carriages.
They had actually performed some WORK
on the carriages, when they discovered
that the Washington navy-yard was bet
ter supplied for the work than their own
shops, so the carriages were shipped over
here. For completing the carriages the
CRAMPS were 10 have received $lIVD. As
