where any property claims that his material

JACOBS VICTIMS.
Measures to be Taken for the Relief of
Innocent Purchasers.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Internal
Revenue Bureau has in course Of prepa-
ration a circular letter TO collectors in
which they are directed to forward 60
the Bureau all applications for relief
from innocent holders of cigars stamped
with counterfeit stamps and purchased
from Jacobs the Lancaster. Pa, cigar
manufacturer recently arrested by Secret
Service officials.
10 is probable that innocent dealers who
have actually paid for the cigars will be
permitted to retain them on condition
that they re-stamp them. Cigars not
paid for will be sold and the proceeds
turned into the Treasury.
IL is not thought that Jacobs mas been
able 10 use counterfeit stamps in excess
Of $1,000 or $1,000.
LANCASTER, PA. April 25.-An ex-
animation was made to-day OF William
Jacobs books and it was found that he
had dofrauded the government out OF
about $4,000 with his bogus revenue

C0REAr TROUBLES.
Another Disturbance i'm the Cabinet
Two Ministers We're Banished.

VANCOUVER, b. c.. April S.-The
steamer Empress OF China. which arrived
here this morning from Hong Kong and
Yokohoma, has on board several Chinese
refugees, who, like Kiang Nu Wy, have
been compelled to leave Japan.
Korean advices say tho Emperor has
leased three ports in Eastern Korea to a
Russian whaling company namely-Oul-
san and Sunchin Pom, in kang Wan
Province, and Chin Podo. in the Province
OF Hamkyig The concession in each
case is 200 metres in length and $50 in
width.
The Yorodzu says there has been an
other disturbance in the Korean Cabinet.
Two Ministers were driven out OF Office
and banished for terms of ten and twelve
years respectively.
II is reported that the incident was due
to an intrigue OF Lady ON .he .3yorite
mistress OF the Korean Emperor. She
has so completely cntrapped re Emperor
that he is 4 puppet in her hsnGs. Russia
had. by some means or other. secured
her sympathy. The two disgraccd minis
ters Il appears. did not knsw this and
imprudently rejected the demands from
St Petersburg government 10 cOnncc-
ton with whaling privileges for Russian
ubiects. The upshot Of the affairs was
that Russia appealed To Lady ON. who
iectured the Emperor. The Emperor lis
tened. burst forth into terrible wrath and
ordered the two ministers out OF the
cabinet into exile.
Though nothing remarkable appears on
the surface. a keen struggle is being
steadily waged In Corea between Russia
and Japan II is said that Corea will be
practically a Russian province before
long.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Words OF Friends Arc Genuine
aud Reliable.

II is easy for people to talk about them
selves and state what they may have
done, but il is far better to have other
people speak for you. The words which
follow are the frank expressions OF peo-
pie who know OF what they speak.
Mr.. John X. Chase. Amesbury, Mass,
says: For some six years past my wife
has been suffering from nervous pros
tration. For years she was troubled
with insomnia and nothing recommended
by the most eminent physicians would
induce sleep. Under the advice OF physi-
clans she recently tried Dufty's Malt
Whisky in small quantities and with the
most satisfactory results. While Mrs.
Chase has always been staunch IN her
temperance principles and consistent in.
practice. she has no hesitation in recon-
mending TO invalids who need a gentle
stimulant Duffy's Malt Whiskey."
T.. {. Avilla. OF the Brooklyn associa-
ton for improving the condition Of the
poor. says: Il have used Dunys Malt
Whiskey for the past two years. having
suffered from severe headaches and nerv-
out prostratlon. 1 have been very much
relieved by the use of the whiskey and
have gained seventeen pounds I'm weight"
The above statements speak for them
selves.
