1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival of the doctor. An
Albany On. " dairyman called at a
drug store there for doctor to come
and see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some re-
lief until the doctor should arrive.
In few hours he returned, saying
the doctor need not come, as the child
was much better. The druggist, Mr..
Otto Sholz, says the family has since
recommended Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant de-
mand for it from that part of the
country. For sale by Flaws.

y petition is now being circulated
in San Francisco for the pardon of
Federal prisoner now doing time
in the Carson State Prison, and it is
rapidly being signed by some of the
best known ex-Nevadans. The wife
and children are destitute in this
city.-Honus in Carson Weekly.
The above probably refers to John
Jones, the mint thief. There are
many who will sympathize with
and help the wife and children, but
it is hardly time to pardon Jones.
We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We
keep a bottle open all the time and
whenever any of my family or my
self begin to catch cold we begin to
use the Cough Remedy, and as a re-
suit we never have to send away
for doctor and incur a large doctor
bill, for Chamberlain Cough Rene.

rwENTY.SK PERSONS PERISH.
Steamer ST. Olaf Goes Down With Crew
and Passengers.-NOt One Person Saved.

Quebec (SpeciaD News reached
here that the steamer st. Olaf, which
/ has been coasting between this port
and Point Of Aux Esquimaux, in the
lower st. Lawrence, for the last two
years, had become a total wreck on
Seven Islands, and that her crew and
passengers were lost.
AS coon as the news of the wreck
reached Seven Islands a searching
party went out to attempt to rescue
any Of the shipwrecked people, but
this was impossible, as everyone
aboard the vessels seems to have been
lost.
Captain Lemaistre, in command Of
the steamer, and several of his officers
and crew, belonged to this city. The
first dispatch from Seven Islands
brought but meagre news, and it was
only late in the afternoon that A.
Frazer & Co., owners of the steamer,
were informed of the extent Of the
disaster.
The st. Olaf was an iron steamer Of
305 tons, and was built on the Clyde
at Port Glasgow in 1882. She was val
ued at about $4,000 and insured for
about 500, 1000.
Before coming to this port she ran
between Pictou and Magdalen Is
lands, and was chartered by Frazer &
Co., to replace the steamship Otter,
wrecked on her last trip to Quebec two
years ago. The St. Olaf left here on
Sunday morning last on her last trip
to EsquimauX Point, carrying Govern
ment mails, passengers and large
cargo.
All apparently went well on the way
down, and the steamer left Immediate
ly on her return trip to this port. The
last news heard of the st. Olaf was
that she had left Sheldrake, and short
ly after this the signal station dis
patches reported rough weather, with
gales Of wind and snow, and it Is sup
posed that during one Of these gales
the st. Olaf ran ashore on one of the
rocks at the entrance of the Seven
Islands, as the dispatch states that she
was wrecked on Boule Island.
Captain Lemalstre was well and
'avorably known as a careful and
skillful coast navigator and had been
4 resident Of this city for some years.
News has been received here that
the st. Olaf is lying on the rock, and
at low tide two feet of her hull can
be seen out of water. The residents
Of Seven Islands are searching the
shores for bodies. The place where the
steamer was wrecked is about seven
miles off Seven Islands and about 300
miles from this port.

Washington (Special) Modification
Of the demands formulated by the Min
listers in Pekin seems to be assured as
result of the representations made to
the powers by Secretary Hay. This
much has already been accomplished.
Great Britain, Russia, France and
Japan have made known to the United
States their desire to adopt only such
demands as China may be able to COM
ply with.
Germany's proposal to make the
execution of the II officials responsible
for the outrages a condition precedent
to the conduct of further negotiations
seems to have failed for want Of sup
port
Instructions have been cabled to
Minister Conger to confer with his col
leagues for the purpose Of agreeing
upon a modification of the demands,
especially those relating to punishment
and indemnity. 1t is the expectation
of the President and Secretary Hay
that similar instructions will be sent
by at least four other powers to their
representatives in Pekin.
There is a feeling in official circles
bere that after all China may emerge
from the dangerous situation she oc-
lupies without suffering a loss of her
territory, and this optimistic belief Is
Aue to the satisfactory result of the
presentations made by Mr. Hay to the
powers during the last week. Appre-
hension was excited by the Anglo-Ger-
man agreement that Great Britain, as
result of the third article Of that
compact, would heartily support Ger
many's vengeance policy. Japalrs ad-
herence to the agreement made 1t
seem certain that the three powers
would pursue an identical course and
make settlement of the Chinese
trouble impossible
Japan's recent conduct at Pekin,
however, showed that while she was
willing to be party to an alliance to
oppose the partition of China, her in
teTests are naturally against the ac-
luisition of Chinese territory by Euro
pean powers.
1t is understood that the powers are
now discussing the question of de-
manding the~execution only of Tuan
and the degradation of the other
Princes and officials. Mr.. Conger's at
tention, besides being specifically
called to be the unwlse extent Of the
punishment demand, has been directed
to the excessive character Of the de-
mand for indemnity, The Cabinet
made 1t plain, and the instructions in
terpret this feeling, that demands in
the way of punishment and indemnity
shall be modified to such an extent as
to make it reasonably certain that
they will be granted

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Some of the Recommendation tie Is
Likely to Make.
FOR INTERCHANGEABLE CURRENCY,
Suggestions for Further Protecting the Gold
Standard-.The Philippines, the Canal and
the Army'-The President Will Describe the
Situation In China, Laying Special Stress
Upon Necessity of Preserving "0pen Door"

Washington (SpeciaD.-It is under
stood the President will insert in his
message a general recommendation for
such an amendment of the currency
law of last March as will place the gold
standard beyond successful assault
1t is claimed that this can be done
by making all forms Of money inter
changeable as was suggested to Con-
gress last winter. This would require
that silver dollars as well as green
backs and treasury notes shall be in
terchangeable with gold at the option
Of the holder.
This financial recommendation Is the
most interesting bit Of news that has
leaked out about the Presidents mes
sage, because it was not expected.
On the subject of the government OF
our dependencies, the most important
part in the message will deal with the
Philippine Islands. The President, it
is said, will take the view that the
time has come to terminate the control
of the Philippines under the war
power, and that the President be au-
thorized by Congress to provide for a
civil government, using the army for
the purpose of maintaining order until
Iu6 SCu6lu6 vi llOlut Iul6 SudAi h1fO
been completed. This will probably be
done under the SpoOner bill, which is
now pending in the Senate.
Much space in the message will be
devoted to the subject of an isthmian
canal, and this will be based upon the
report of the Canal Commission, The
President will also recommend the
ratification of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, and his references to the con-
structlon of the canal will mean the
Nicaragua route.
The President it Is said, will sug-
gest that steps be taken at once for
bringing the army up to about 100000
men. His message will reclte the fact
that the situation in China is satisfac-
tory; that constitution is being franz
ed for government by the
Cubans and will probably be laid be-
fore the Fifty-seventh Congress.
The President, it is added, will de-
scribe the situation in China and call
attention to the fact that our policy
remains as outlined in the note Of
July 3, laying special stress upon the
necessity of preserving the integrity OF
China and the open door,"

company, patent medicine firm or
other private institution.
