Don't Give Up the Ship.

When the demon OF disease has per-
sued you to the very brink OF despair,
don't give up the ship. When the
long, sleepless nights OF restless tor
ture and the days of worry and care
and pain have shut out the last ray
Of hope and your tired brain would
welcome death as grateful deliv-
erer, don't give up. Others have
fuffered as long as you and still have
sound relief. Mrs. Dora Lesley, South
Whitley, Indiana, writes:
II used to have numb spells that
would last for hours; had pains all
over anybody; had no appetite and
my headpained me 30 that thought
would lose my mind. After suffer-
ing this way for years my health was
finally restored with a few bottles Of
the DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine. 1"

TURKEY IS WILLING TOPAY
SOME TIME BEFORE THE CASH rs
FORTHCOMING
The Porte Issues an Trade for the Re
building of the Annex to Theological
School in Constantinople.

WASHINGTON, April 24-It can be
stated on authority that the negotia-
lions respecting the American mission
airy claims are progressing in the most
satisfactory manner in the view of the
Government. The State Department
has received from Lloyd Griscom, the
United States Charge d'Affaires at Con-
stantinople, a cablegram announcing
that the Porte has undertaken to meet
all of the engagements made with the
United States Minister regarding the
payment of the claims set up on ac-
count of the destruction of the Amer
lean mission property in Turkey. 1t is
not stated when the payments will be
paid, and it is surmsed that owing to
the many obligations of greater magni-
tude pressing upon the Porte, some time
may yet elapse before the money is ac-
tually in hand.
The charge also confirmed the press
reports as to the publication by the
Porte of an trade authorizing the re-
building of the destroyed missions at
Harpoot and Harsam and the construc-
ton of an annex to the Robert College,
the great American theological school
in ConstantinOple. This action of the
Turkish authorities is regarded of an
importance far exceeding the mere pay
ment of 100000 on account of property
destroyed by a mob. 1t amounts to a
recognition or the rlgnlS OF our HllSslon-
aries to build their schools in Turkey
and insures them against what they re-
garded as a gradual but absolute eX-
clusion from the domains of the Sultan
On the whole the officials here regard
Griscoms cable as marking the safe
passage of what might have been re-
garded as a critical point in the nego-
tiations, and feel confident that in addi-
ton to this notable concession the
United States will secure all of its just
claims.
ONSTANTINOPLE, April 24.-The
Porte has received kilograms from the
Turkish Minister at Washington, Ali
Ferrouh Bey, pointing out the bad i'm
preston created in the United States
by the non-payment of the indemnity
due and announcing the determination
of the American Government to insist
upon prompt settlement of the claims.

IN PEkIN CITY
KWANG HSU IS BEING SLOWLY
DONE TO DEATH.
Rioting Throughout China-Murderers
of DR.. Brooks Convicted But Not
Acknowledgements Fleet Assemblies

VICTORIA, b. c., April 24.-Rev.
George e. Whitman of Swatow, Rev.
Dr. Lowry from Peking, and others ar
irving by today's steamer, declare the
general belief throughout China to be
that Emperor Kwang Hsu is being
slowly and deliberately poisoned by the
Empress Dowager, preparations for his
demise being already completed. Mean
while the inability of the imperial pow
ers to curb wild rioting throughout
the empire, and more particularly near
Taku, the gateway to Peklng, mas leo
the interested powers to send their war
ships there and land marines, presaglng
a general conflict. All the Enghsh pa
pers of the coast cities regard the situa-
ton as more serious than it has been for
many years, the Russo Japanese COM
plications being completely obscured.
The trial of the murderers of Rev. Or.
Brooks began February 28th, and the
following days, at Chinanfu, in the
presence of G.. w. Campbell of II. b.
M. S. consular service. The trial was
conducted by the Provincial Judge in
a large hall of the Hofang Chu, where
important cases are taken. On minor
points the evidence was very contra
dictory but the more important points
came out clearly. The six men prlncl-
paIly concerned captured Mr.. Brooks at
Chang Chiatien, and, in spite of the ex-
postulations of the Tipao, or village
constable, carried him away. They DO
not seem to have killed their prisoner
until he attempted to escape. Five of
the gang were members of the Tatao
Hui a secret organization of great local
influence, and their connection with IT
seems to have terroriZed the villagers,
who did not try to interfere. Only four
men were implicated in the death.
A conviction was recorded, but the
sentence is not yet to hand. AS re-
suit of the trial the Reorganization OF
| the Boxers has been ordered
From Kan Shan, Chiu Chow district
comes the news of an explosion in a
powder magazine on the Gath ultimo,
v which over 300 houses were de-
stroyed, thirty persons lost their lives,

iured Fortunately a large number OF
the populace had gone from their homes
to see a procession in neighboring
place, or the consequences would nave
been far more disastrous. The shock

Automobiles and Other Modern Con
triVances for the Islands.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Chronicle
says: The Inhabitants of the Hawaiian
Islands evidently have determined to
keep pace with their fellow citizens in
the United States for within the last
ten days $4,000 worth of automobiles
have been shipped to them. A Chicago
firm built the vehicles which included
large cabs, small cabs, delivery wagons
and T carts, each accompanied by an
exhaustive treatise on the art of guild
ing and managing an automobile.
The importing habit has been grow
ing on the Hawaiians for the last three
months, and Chicago manufacturers
have shipped within this period fully
100000 worth of merchandise. Chief
among the articles are steel rails, pas
senger elevators and equipments, boil
ers and pumps, the latter for use on the
plantations. one of these pumps, with
it's accessories, cost 1000; two others
more than $4,000 each.
