A WONDERFUL CURE
on RTARRHOEA

A Prominent Virginia Editor Had AL
most Given Up, but Was Brought
Back 10 Perfect Health by Gham-
berIain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy---Read His Editorial
From the Times, Hillstille, Va.
Isufered with darrh0es for long
time and thought l was past being
cured. I had spent much time and
money and suffered so much misery
that had almost decided to give up
all hopes OF recovery and await the re-
suit, but noticing the advertisement
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and also some testi.
monisls stating how some wonderful
cures had been wrought by this
remedy, decided to try it. After tax
ing few doses l was entirely well Of
that trouble, and / wish 10 say further
TO my readers and fellow sufferers that
l am a hale and hearty man today and
feel as we'll as l ever did in my life.-

With reference to the explosive bullets found in Cronjes laager and elsewhere, I can give your excellency assurance that such bullets were not purchased or allowed by the govern ment l have, however, no reason to doubt your statement, as I know many of the. burghers of this state and of the South African republic took large number of Lee-Metford rifles and dunn dunn and other bullets from British troops.

THE INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA
TIME FOR CHANTING TT STILL UN-
 DETERMINED. ..
Secretary Root Unprepared to Even
 Venture nn Opinion After Seeing Mc- That tho Joint Resolution of Congress
Nvill be Carried Out.

Washington March 20.-Secretary Root to-day gave to President McKin- ley the results of his observation of af- fairs in Cuba during his recent trip to the island. Later the secretary public- ly announced that he was not yet pre- pared to venture an opinion as to just when he believed this government would grant complete independence to the Cu- bans. The declaration in the joint res- olution of congress, however, granting them full independence would, he de- clared, be carried out. He pointed out how it was necessary that the municipal governments should be firmly establieh- ed on working basis, after which att tention would be given to the selection of a constitutional convention for the purpose of framing constitution for the island and it's adoption by the peo- pie.
 Following this and the establishment of firm government in the island, the secretary felt would be time for the formal recognition of the independence by the authorities of the United States. MT Root made it a feature of his visit to talk with the leaders of what has been known as the revolutionary ele- ment of the population and those who are opposed to annexation to the United States and he said they were not im- patient over what were regarded as necessary and reasonable delays in the formation of well established govern ment .
 The secretary said that he believed that when stable and settled policy of rule had been established the island would have a season of prosperity and that outside capital as we'll as much now there remaining uninvested be- cause of the uncertainty that exists would find it's way into the channels of trade and agriculture.

SALARY SCHEDULE ADOPTED.
Fire Board Acts Upon First Official Mo-
 flee from the Common Council.

I l The board of fire commissioners at it's
 meeting last night voted to adopt the
 schedule for firemen's salaries which 1 was passed by the court of common 1 council. This action was taken on re- ceipt of the resolution from the com- mon council calling upon the fire board to explain why the councils salary or der had not been acted upon. Presi- dent Holcomb said last night that this
 request for an explanation received from the common council was the first
 official notice that the board of fire com-
 missioners had received from the court
 of common council of the passage by that body of the salary schedule. The fire board has come in for much adverse
 criticism for it's apparent failure to act
 in accordance with the order passed by
 the common council, but in view of this
 statement of President Holcomb it is
 apparent that the matter had not pre-
 viously been brought officially to the
 notice of the board in control of the fire
 department.
 The fire commissioners by last nights
 action evidence a desire to treat the common council with a consideration which members of the latter body have thought was not evidenced. The city clerk was instructed to forward to the fire commissioners a copy of the order for the ealary schedule, and members of the common council, speaking of the matter last night, expressed the opinion that there had been a laxity somewhere in official quarters in failure to commu- nicate to the fire board the councils or der.
 AS matters now stand, the salary schedule is, to speak popularly, "up to- the board of finance. The schedule which the fire commissioners have adopted provided that the new salary list should go into effect on January last, and accordingly payroll for the difference between the salaries paid and the amounts provided for in the sched- ule will be made out to cover the period from January 1 to the present time and sent to the board of finance It is gen. erally believed that the finance board will not approve such payroll until after an opinion is received from the corporation counsel as to the legality of ., the increases of salary for firemen pro- vided for in the common councils eched- ule. As is well known, the question has been raised that these increases are ille- gal as being in violation of the twenty fourth amendment to the state consti- tuition concerning the increase of the salaries of officers and employees in of- flee. The action of the board of finance and the opinion of the corporation coun- sel will be awaited with considerable in- terest by the flremen. It is said that in the event of the finance board refusing to approve the payroll under the new schedule test suit will be brought against the city by some one of the fire men interested.

IN FAYOR OF ExPANSION.
Action of the Philadelphia Conference
 of the Methodist Church.

Philadelphia, March 10.-Tha Phila- delphia conference of the Methodist Episcopal church to-day adopted a paper in support of the expansion policy of the present national administration. The paper is in all respects similar to the one adopted recently by the South Kansas conference and is in the form of a call for volunteers to go to the Philippines for evangelical work. It was presented by the Rev, T. B. Medley, who stated that nothing more providen- tial had occurred in recent years than the acquisition by this country of the, Philippines and that 1t was absolutely necessary that we assert our power The conference also adopted a resolu- tion deprecating the action of Attorney General Griggs in setting aside the act of congress abolishing the army can teen, and calling upon President Me-, Kinley to exercise his authority as commander-in-c chief of the army and navy to give full effect to the act. Con- gress was also requested to re-enact the law abolishing the system.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co
ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY.
Raymond l.. Kingston, Formerly of
 Rockville-His Second Marriage.

Rockville, March 2O.-Word was re- ceived here to-day that Raymond l.. Kingston, former well known resident, had been arrested at Reading, Pa, last Saturday for bigamy. He was also giv- en preliminary hearing and held un- der $1,OO0 bonds for appearance before the superior court. He was unable to furnish the bonds and was remanded to jail. Kingston was married last De- tober to Miss Anna l.. Johnson of Read ing, though he had a wife and young
 son in this city at the time. After his arrest Kingston telephoned here to his
 wife to come to Reading to bail him
 out. He still remains in jail, however.
 Kingston made his first appearance in
 Rockville ,as carpenter employed on
 the new memorial building He was of
 attractive appearance, and before the
 building was completed, so goes the
 story, his engagement to Miss Lizzie
 Davis, daughter of John Davis, a wealthy citizen, was announced Short
 ly afterwards they were married in
 Hartford. About two years ago King ston left Rockville and went to work
 in Massachusetts, though always keep ing up a correspondence with his wife. It is said that he made himself promi- nent socially when he took up his resi- dence in Reading and soon won the af- factions of Miss Johnson. They were married last October, though her par ents did not know of 1t until two months later. Owing to numerous suspicious circumstances the Johnson family were not reconciled to the marriage and after
 of of the young woman came to this city last week and secured ample proof that Kingston was a biganist and secured his arrest. Before the evidence was se- cured Kingston admitted that he had been married, but said he had got di- vorce from his wife,

March 20.-At the national ists' banquet at the Hotel Cecil in Lon don this evening John Redmond, leader of the nationalist party in the house of commons who presided, said he TO garded the last nine years of public life in Ireland as "hideous nightmare D Our reunion is sincere" he continued, ''and there is nothing, humanly speak ing, which the eighty-siX Irish mem bers of parliament cannot obtain from the exigencies of the British parties It is incredible that English statesmen can be so blind to history as to imagine that serious practical grievances can be mitigated by a royal visit to Ire land or by a British celebration of St Patrick's day" Edward Blake, mem Der of parliament for South Longford, who proposed the toast ''Ireland-A na- tion," was greeted with hostile cries A disturbance ensued and the police were called in to restore order.

 London, March 20.--Mr Chamberlain has received the following telegram from the governor and commander-in- chief of New Zealand, the Earl of Ran furly:
 The people of New Zealand wish to express their endorsement of the posi- tion taken by the imperial government in declining to allow the intervention of any foreign power in the settlement with the Transvaal and the Free State, and in declining to assent to either state being independent My govern ment assures her majesty's government that New Zealand will support to the last the mother country, so far as it lies in her power, in maintaining that position, which has been taken up ire e- spective of consequences. I am desired to add that there are large numbers of men volunteering, who are good riders and shots, willing to go to South Afri- ca for the relief of the imperial forces, if the services of the latter will be re- quired elsewhere"
