Doctors Can't

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their

will never be rid of the disease; on the

steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure

CABINET MEETING.

TO Money Market Discussed.

ia Money Market Discussed.
WASHINGTON. D. G.. Oct. 24.-At
the cabinet meeting to-day the most
important topic discussed was the con-
ditlon Of tho treasury in rs relation to
the stringency Of the money market.
Nothing viii be done At present to re-
lleye the situation. as 1t Is believed
that In the natural course Of events the
heavy war expenditures will reduce the
large surplus in the treasury. The
cabinet decided to-day TO allow yes
sells purchased by American citizens to
engage In Philippine inter-lSland trade.
Under the laws Of the United States
foreign Yesseio cannot engage in coast
wise trade and as oil the trading Ves-
sells In the Philippines flew the Spanish

into American hands and the secretary

UNEXPECTED ATTACK.
Suspicion that some Great Power
viii Strike a blow.

.
NEW YORK. Oct. 2i.-A dispatch TO
the Tribune from London says; The
sailing OF the channel squadron to-day
for Gibraltar Is now regarded by the
honest observers as an indication that
some unexpected attack upon British
lnterests Is possible. The magnitude
OF the preparations for the war. which
are out OF all proportion to the re-
Quirements Of the military situation.
con be adequately explained on the
ground that the government suspected
some great power would be tempted
to seize the opportunity for striking a
sudden blow or carrying out deeply
cherished policy.
The quarter from which an attack OF
this kind may come Is unmistaknble.
The Russian press has had license to
crltlcise the English policy In South
Africa in the most HCrid why. and
rumor that Herat may be occupied Is
already In the air. British commercial
Interests In Persia are so large that
Russian seizure Of the commanding
position In Western Afghnnlstan would
be a serious stroke, aimed directly
against free trade. II seems more
likely menace than the forcing Of the
DardnneIles by the Russian Black Sea
fleet.
The movement of the powerful
French feet to the Levant comedies
with the circulation Of a rumor that
the Russian advance may be resumed
In Asia while England is preoccupIed
at war in South Africa. It also fits
in with the explanation of a secret
agreement between England and Ger
many. This was that England, in re-
turn for n free hand in South Africa

salem with n serious attempt to colo
nlse any portion Of Asia Minor, and
to bring It under German influence.
A prominent diplomat whom l cons
suited yesterday remarked that the
nature OF the Anglo American agree
ment was the closest secret in Euro
pean diplomacy, but that the forego-
ing statement was the most reasOT1a-
bic explanation which he had ever
heard. Denials may be expected as a
matter OF course. but do not hesitate
to repeat on high authority that the
British navy Will not be used against

Is the secret understanding which has
released England from all risk Of Ger
man intervention in South Africa.
Certainly. Germany is not the quar-
ter from which England Inns suspected
that some sudden attack might be
made. and consequently has ordered
preparations for war on a larger scale
than the campaign with the Dutch
burghera has justified.
The channel squadron Will not sail
to the Mediterranean on account Of any
German menace. The relations Of
England and Germany are most cor
dial, and the emperor's visit next
month is a plain indication that for
practical reasons he is reconciled to a
policy which enables the British gov
eminent to reconstruct the Dutch re-
publIcs and to bring them under the
authority Of the crown.
