LONDON. March 27.-The Copenha-
gen correspondent of the Daily Mail
says: ''The Danish Government will
ask Parliament to vote a credit to send
the cruiser Fyon to China in connec-
ton with Denmark's projects there.
Prince Waldemar will command the
expedition and Princess Waldemar will
follow in one of the steamers of the
East Asian Company. 1t is probable,
however, that the negotiations for
commercial advantages in China will
be conducted at st. Petersburg through
Russia"
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: The Dowager EN-
press has ordered the Governors Of the
maritime provinces of China to resist
forcibly any landing of armed foreign
ers.''
According to a dispatch from Shang-
hal to the Daily Mail it is reported
there that a Mohammedan rebellion
has broken out in the province of
Kan-Su, the most northwestern pro-
vince of China, between the provinces
of Shen See and Sc Chuen on one
side and Mongolia and the desert of

Dear Sirs:-Having taken your Tonic
at intervals during the past two years
/ have pleasure in being able to certify
that it has proved distinct success.
Acting upon the recommendation OF
my medical adviser to take a Tonic
when necessary, I choose the Minerva,
and have every reason to be satisfied
with the result; so much so that I
always keep it in the house. When
from stress Of work I feel run down
I have recourse to the Tonic, which in
variably has the desired effect, as after
a few doses I am right again for some
months. Feeling that the Tonic has
done me much good it will be pleas
ure to recommend it, and I have no
objection to you publishing this report.
I am.
Yours, ETC.,

TosBRING HOME THE DEAD.
Arraneemenss Being Made to Bring
American Dead From LuzOn.

:
Washington, Oct. SD. 81. Rhodes,
an employee of the quartermaster's de-
-partment, who superintendent the re-
moval of the American dead from Gu
ba, has gone to Manila to make ar
engagements for bringing to this coun-
try the bodies of the men who have
fallen in battle or died of disease in the
Philippine islands. The promise made
by the president at the time of the
breaking out of the Spanish war that
the bodies of all, soldiers who fell in
battle or died Of disease in foreign
countries should be returned to their
homes in this country for final inter-
ment will be strictly adhered to in re,
gard to the Philippine war. The first
bodies will be sent back by the re-
turning transports, which are now car
rying troops to the islands and will
probably reach this country about the
first of the year. For everybody for
which application has been filed at the
war department by relatives or friends
transportation will be furnished to the
home of the applicants or to such
points as they may designate. The I'M
claimed bodies will be buried in ma
itional cemetery on the Pacific coast or
taken to Arlington.
Great care has been taken in mark
ing the graves OF American soldiers in
the Philippines, and it is thought that
there will be few unknown dead.

proving steadily, and as Tom came
close to him Jeff shot right to Toms
chin. Sharkey clinched again and af-

first and quickest to his feet, and
forced jeff to neutral corner.

AFTER THE FIGHT.
What the Two Pngiiists Are Doing
Today.

E .
New York, Nov. 4.-(By Associated
Press after the Sharkey and JET
fries bout was over last night, the pug
lists were taken to separate Turkish
bath establishments. With two broken
ribs and lame shoulder, Sharkey was
willing to be assisted in his movements.
While being rubbed down he said he
would have put Jeffries out if he had
not wrenched his shoulder in the eigh-
teenth round. Jeffries remained at the
bathing rooms until noon, when he set
out for Philadelphia to visit relatives.
The champion seemed anything but
pleased over the result of the fight. He
expected much easier task. There
was big lump on his cheek bone and
a slight abrasion on his forehead be-
tween the eyebrows, and the skin of his
nose was badly lacerated. His left
arm, which he strained while he was
training, is now almost useless. 1t
bothered him exceedingly during the
last round of the fight.

County Poor Farm in such way as to
practically ruin it, All the barns and
out buildings, some of them new ones,
must be moved. The fine fruit gar
dens, worth hundreds of dollars yearly
to the county, are cut all to pieces. A
20 foot cut is made through the yard
not 200 feet from the house. The
board Of supervisors and the right of
way men are trying to get together on
the question of damages. The former
claim $4,000. The road offers $500.
The farm of 200 acres was worth $40
With the road running through 1t, the
board claims they could not sell 1t for

is none too great. Tho probabilities
are the county will have to buy q new
poor farm.
