patches received from the far east dur

that some If not all OF the members
Of the legations are still alive Mn
lister Yu Keng thinks the silence of the

Il is considered abroad and he asks
that China be given another five days

He himself is still in ignorance of the

from the provincial viceroys and from

ministers may prove correct-that the

The feeling obtains here that this

probably held as hostages. The equivo-
cal declarations of Ii Hung Chang
have served to deepen the feeling of
mistrust regarding all Chinese affirm

The Assoc ated Press learns that the
foreign governments intend to disre-
gard Ii Hung Chang's recommended

bad faith-not to march on Pekin On
the contrary the international expedi-

Anticipations of the West-Churchill
wedding have formed one of the cief top
les in society this week Quite a burn
ing question is whether Lady Randolph
will retain that name or be knownas
Mrs. West. 1t appears that everywhere
except at court she may retain her pres
ent name, but when presented to the
Queen it must be as plain Mrs West. By
her re-marriage she forfeits mono of the
fortune left by her first husband, which
chiefly consists in a life interest in $780,

In consideration of the facts that Of
the foreign commerce of China more
than seventy per cent belongs to Eng
land, that the Chinese tariff is lower
than that Of any other country, and the
restriction thereon fewer, British mer-
chants have, during the past few decades,
maintained relations with China mer-
chants at ports as harmonious as if both
were members of the same family. But
now tOilpIcdilOnS nave arisen, Ululudl
distrust has been engendered and, the
situation thus having canged for the
worse, it Is felt that If China cannot
be supported in maintaing her position,
foreign nations, looking so large and pop
ulous a country so rich in natural re-
sources, might be tempted to exploit or
despoil it, and perhaps differ among
themselves with respect to their con-
flicting interests. 1t is evident that this
will create a state of matters that would
not be advantageous to Great Britain,
a country which views commerce as her
greatest interest. China is now engaged
in raising men and means to cope with
the eventualities, but she feels that If left
to herself she might not be equal to the
occasion should 1t ever arrive and there
fore turns to England in the hope of pro-
curing her good offices in bringing about
a settlement of the difficulties that have
arisen with the other treaty powers.
The emperor makes this frank expos
ure Of what is nearest his heart and
hopes this appeal to her majesty, the
queen empress, may be graciously taken
under consideration and an answer
vouchsafed at the earliest possible nom

LONDON, JULY 2S.-Almost as re-
markable as the break down of long
established social customs before the
tropical wave is the break up of the lib
eral party. With a general election far
distant the conditions Of the liberal party
would be serious. but in view of the fact
that the country is face to face with
dissolution, the situation Of the opposition
third party is generally considered al
most inevitable as the result of the in
ternal dissensions now raging in the lib
eral ranks. The imperlalists have thrown
off the mask and demanded control of the
party maintaining, that both by numbers
and influence they are entitled to dictate
its policy, In this they are opposed by
the forwards" or anti-imperiaist liber-
ais with a vigor and bitterness that can
only be compared to the ascerbity with
which tho Gladstonians assailed the lib
eral unions when home rule brought the
parting of the ways.
The climax of the strife has been sim.
mering since the commencement of the
Boer war came Wednesday, when one
third Of the liberal party, voted to con-
denim the colonial secretary. Joseph
Chamberlain, and all his works. One
third voted with the government to sus-
tain him, while the smallest section of all
including tho nominal leader abstained
from voting at all.
Four members of the ways and means
committee Of the United States house of
representatives, were in London this week

The one medicine for disorders aud

the activity of the whole digestive and
nutritive system, clears away obstruc-
tons, stops the loss the body sustains by
undigested or partly digested food, puri-
hes the blood from the poisons resulting
from imperfect digestion, and increases
the secretiOns of the blood making

has a wonderful record of cures of So
called hopeless " cases.

such condition for over twenty years, and hav-
ing deluged my system with floods of medicine
from every available source, and being ouiy

take course of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery which am now doing. Although un-
arc to strictly follow directions 1 have derived
more actual benefit from the few bottles 1 have

together.
Allow me to thank you for your prompt and
courteous attention to my case as well as for the
good received from it."

Shooting at Mt. Vernon.


 On last Tuesday John Game we'll shot Beebe Barker at Mt. Yer non, inflicting a serious scalp wound upon him. Barker was ill wagon with five other persons and it is wonderful that no one else was hurt. Gamewell fired two shots at Barker, the last one going wide of its mark. After the shooting Gamewell escaped and at last reports had not been appre- hended.
 The trouble arose over horse trade and an election bet. Game well bought horse from Barker lately, and gave him note for it. Just before the election, in talking of the trade, Barker told Gamewell that he needn't pay for the horse until Bryan was elected. After the election was over Gamewell claimed that he had won the horse. This led to bad feeling and re- suited as above.

 ''One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for bottle of cough medicine that I did not have in stock says Mir. c. R. Grandin, the popular drug gist of Ontario, NY. "She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamber lain's Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it fair trial if she did not find 1t worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I consider that very good recom- mendation for the remedy.' For sale by w. H. Martin & Go.
