Mr.. Kruger's reception ut Cologne
was exceedingly enthusiastic so far MS
the citizens were concerned. They had
planned torch-llght procession and
serenade, but the police forbade both.
His dispatches, to Count Won Buelcw,
the imperial chancellor. and other
heads of the German states. were left
unanswered. There ID no doubt that as
late rs Saturday, foreign Office officials
contemplated that Mr.. Kruger would be
received In Berlin tomorrow. Enl-
peror William and Count Won Buelow

Upon President McKinley's Message.
His Reference to China Dwelt Upon
by the Press.
LONDON. Dec. 3-Commcnt upon
President McKinley's message is chief
ly devoted to the references to Amcrl-

The Daily Graphic says: ,.t II
"The policy OF the United States re-
gardInG China Is not heroic. but 1t Is
certainly practical and there Is ample
reason to bcliRvc that It will prevail.
The Times says:
"The message makes 1t clear that on
the vital point Of insisting upon pun
ishment for the outrages. Mr.. McNin-
ley remains firm"
The Daily News says: sa
''Thc message contains nothing new
and nothing very illuminating on mat
tcrs that are old. II Will be very closely
scanned for It's references to China. 1t
looks as though the American formula
were that the powers are to specify
the culprits and the Chinese govern
mcnt Is to specify the punishment. On
such terms n speedy settlement would
undoubtedly prevail"

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbiug sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
strOyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
