London, December All the London
morning papers comment with unbound
ed enthusiasm upon the abrupt snub ad-
mnistered by Emperor William TO Mr.

when contrasted with the Boer stat :

snub is regarded as further evidence Of
the eocI rotations existing between Ger

The official explanation offered through
the German press is that steps had not

BUILDINGS Z AND WORKS ARE A
TOTAL LOSS.
In Spite OF the Excitement. None of
the Large Number of Con-

The Chattahoochee convict camp. To-
eight miles from Atlanta. was the scene
of disastrous confagration yesterday.
which destroyed almost the entire camp
and entail,d "a loss OF about so eo or

This immense loss is complete. as the

from the rayages of the flames.
The hre came at very inopportne
time for the officials of the camp and
they were utterly unable to cope with il.
About year ago the camp was visited
by a conflagration which cntailed 81 loss
n several thousand dollars. and after that
experience they secured the services OF
Chief Joyucr to install complete system

frequen, intervals over the grounds and
with their excellent pumping facilities the
officials felt relieved AMI believed that
they were then able 20 fully protect the
camp from fire However. of lat. the Of

Swamp-ROOt Cured Him.
The following testimonial from MIR. e. f.

English language can make it. He suffered
from uremic blood poison that his wrists
and ankles were swollen to three or four
times their normal size. For months he
could not wear his shoes. Two eminent ply
scians treated him, but gave up his case as
hopeless. Yet he was entirely cured by the
use of Swamp-Hoot. See what he writes TO
the Constitution.
