A PROTECTION AGAINST IMPURE
ICE

Boston. May 27.-An examination of
waters where ice Is out for consumption
in Boston has been started by the board
of health, with the intention of excluding
from the Boston market any ice cut from
impure sources. How extensive it will
be depends upon the discoveries during
the progress of the work, but as much
of the Joe in this city is cut in other
states. especially in Maine, the board
doubtless will have a large field to go
over. Its authority in this matter ex-
tends beyond the limits of the city and
state for, in order TO determine whether
the ice from certain pond or lake is
acceptable or not. 1t must first ascertain
the real condition of the source Of sup
ply. 1t cannot prohibit ice cutting from
an impure source, but 1T has authority
to prohibit the Importation of the pro-
ducts into Boston, and 1t expects to COM
plete the examination before the next
crop of ice Is to be cut. Where 1t is diff
cult to tell whether or not the water is
contaminated. samples will be taken to
the archaeological. laboratory for analy-
sis ly the director, DR.. HILBERT W. Hill.
Chairman Durgin OF the board of health
says this examinat on should cause no
anxiety at present. as it is no indication
that the board has definite knowledge
of impure ice supplies; 1t is simply
measure of precaution.

Paris, May 27.-Early this afternoon 1t
was rumored that the President of the
civil section Of the Court Of Cessation. M.
Ballot de Beaupre, had reported to the
president of the Court of Cessation, NJ.

Dreyfus trial, and resembling the pris-

a direct statement that the president of

1t is believed that the report Is praoti-

From the president of the Court of
Cessation the Dreyfus report will pass
into the hands Of the procursr general.

The government has taken careful
measures to prevent disorders next week,
when the Court of::Cassation sits publicly.
The project of police has issued instruc-
tions for Monday similar to those issued
at the time of President Faure's funeral.
The police must seize seditious emblems
and arrest those who display them, and
those who utter seditious cries and
threats against President Loubet and the
Parliament. The government will allow
no demonstrations in the vicinity of the
law courts. M. krantz, minister of war,
has issued an order forbidding army off,

preventing the Nationalists from ex.
plotting their military idols.
The Figaro details this morning how
Senator Seheurer- Kestner entered the
campaign In favor of DIeyfus and the
steps taken by the war minister, through
Colonel Berlin, to restrain him. Mean
while the staff officers, who had been
warned OF the impending danger, were
in state Of CONSERVATION. They hur-
riedly consulted as to the best means Of
avoiding the danger which threatened
them, and decided to wal n Esterhazy by
an anonymous letter, which was actu-
ally written, but which General Billot
caused to be supprt ssed when he was APP
prised of the fact. Esterhazy, however,
received the "Esperance' letter while he
was in the country, and he hurried to

ferences. The Figaro relates the various

Just what the correct inference is to be
drawn from the refusal of the Cuban
soldiers to accept the money rendered
them by the United States government,
it is dficultjto say at this time. But as
a condition precedent to get the money
was the surrender of their arms 1t is
natural to conclude that for 1ome
reason they prefer their arms to the
money, though in their condition
money, even in small amounts, must
have very strong attractions. We do not
know yet whether the soldiers outside of
Havana pursued the same policy as those
In that city. 1t may turn out
that the refu sal has been confined largely
to that city, and is attributable to the in
tiuence of local leaders, Ii it should be
found to have prevailed all over the
island, it would either be significant of
want of confidence in the promise of the
United States to withdraw in the near
future OF of preparation to seize con-
troll after our government has withdrawn.
In any way it can be looked at it gives
ground for uneasiness lest we are not to
have plain sailing in the island in the
future, and may, before we fulfil our
missio there, have to resort to force.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tioiial remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

The report that Glen. Otis had asked for
more troops in the Philippines and ex-
pressed the opiniort.that u larger army was
needed to subdue the Filipinos is denied
at thewar department according to the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Sun. There are Indications. how
ever, that even if Gen. Otis has. not
officially notified the war department to
that effect that is the way he feels. His
invitation ito the volunteers to reehlist for
six months and his withdrawal of garri-
sons from several towns suggest certainly
q feeling that his present force Is too
small to meet all the contingencies that
may arise. Gen. Lawton, 1t will bs re-
membered, so metime ago, expressed tne
opinion that 100000 men would be

It begins to look as If the cordial rela-
lions that now exist between the United
States and Great Britain were in danger
of being cooled somewhat, by our con-
troversies with Canada. Great Britain's
American colony has never seemed to
share in the better feeling between the
mother country and the United
States which sprang up during
the Spanish war, but on the other
hand her attitude toward US has seemed
to crow more irreconcilable. The Liber-
ais, Laurier among the rest, who used to
be inclined to live on terms of amity
with the United States, and in whose
political creed closer commercial relations
with us occupied prominent place,
Seem now to be as truoulent and as Ill
disposed as the Conservatives used to be.

mission ominous hints are thrown out by
Canadians that there is so little prospect
of agreement that it might as well not re-

willing to trade on the condition that she
gets ali Sac want, and knowing this to be
impossible she seems inclined to break on
negotiations altogether. Being one OF her
