means of elevators. Down in this UNDER
ground station the noise of busy London
will still be heard in a subdued manner.
There will be just enough of the hum
and roar of the great city to max the
retirement of the underground station
all the more soothing to the nerves Of
those no do not love the din OF traffic
that some call harmony. The passengers
who passes down this elevator shaft to
the underground station will pass un-
consciously a network of underground
pipes and sewers all having their share
in the great system, while the L%ondoners
go about their business overhead and the
swarms of humanity below the surface
are whisked to their various destina-
tiunS. 4 ~ .
In some parts of London there is still
another me that drives beneath the
second one, while on each side OF the
road cellars and sub-cellars are dug out
to an extraordinary depth in the efforts
of the people to secure elbow room on
lam that is worth a small fortune a
square foot. 1t is suggested by a genius
with a pleasant imagination that it will
be possible some day to connect these
sub-cellars with the underground roads,
and have the whole electrically lighted,
so that the underground life Of London
Will be as pleasant as that above. The
suggestion is that the householder or
business NAL whose residence or store
adjoinS one of the numerous tunnels will
be able to step out o his sub-cellar on to
a promenade where he may meet his
neighbours for social converse or recrea-
ton, catch a train without going to the
surface or repairing to one of the sta
tions or walk by the underground route
to any section of the city that is con-
nected by means of the railroad. The
idea is a far-fetched one, perhaps, but so
rapidly is London becoming an UNDER
ground city that it is not improbable
that the future may see half the popula-
ton living, moving and having it's being
far beneath surface, like a colony Of
ants or cave jewellers. m
Three great causes nave brought these
underground roads into exisence-the
pressing need for more rapid transit, the
invention Of the Greathead shiel and
Improvement in electrical locomotion.
The very congestion of activity on the

CONFIRMED BY REMEY.
Los. of the Cruiser Yosemite Re-

The Bureau of Navigation of the Navy
Department yesterday received cable
gram from Admiral Remey, at Cavite,
confirming the news of the loss of the
Yosemite. The despatch states that the
collier Justin, which had gone to Guam
with coal for the ill-fated cruiser, has
gone to the rescue. Admiral Kempff has

the Navy Department.
The despatch is as follows:

extent of disaster and transport Yo-
semite's crew to- Cavite.
"REMEY"
The action of Rear Admiral Remey in
sending Rear Admiral Kempff to Guam
is heartily approved by the Navy Depart
ment. where fears are expressed that the
typhoon which caused the loss of the Yo-
Sefnlte devastated the Island. Inc Gov
ernment will. of couyse, do everything to
relieve distress among the people. but in
the absence of details it does not know
what measures are necessary. In speak
ing of the disaster, Secretary Long said:
1T is matter of very great regret
one Of those events that carry gloom. 1t
reminds us of the disaster at Samoa,
being one of those inevitable, irresisti-
Bile accidents that happen in cyclonic
storms. Remey and Kempf are doing all
to ascertain the effect of the disaster,
and the names of those lost. The de-
partment will endeavor to supply another
station ship for Guam. / trust that the
press dispatches as to the destruction of
the Governors house and property on the
island may be somewhat modified"
The General Alava, which is reported
from Manila to have passed into the track
of the same typhoon which overwhelmed
the Yosemite, is a little gunboat of 532
tons displacement. Nevertheless. she is
said TO be perfectly stanch and seaworthy,
and, providing she met the storm in the
open sea, she would in all probability have
come safely through it. The Alava is a
Spanish gunboat, captured by the United
States army in the Philippine, where she
had been used by the insurgents. and was
turned over to the United States Navy
about year ago.

ABOUT HEART DISEASE.
Ninety Per Gent of 1t Really Caused
From Poor Digestion.

FROM Poor Digestion.
Real organic heart trouble is incurable
but scarcely one case in a hundred is Or
ganic-
Ihe action of the heart and stomach are
noth controlled by the same great nerves:
ahe sympathaf and pneumogastric.. ana
when the stomach fails to properly digest
the food and lit lies in the stomach fer
nientlng gases are formed which distend
the organ causing pressure on the heart
ana lungs, causing palpitatiOn, irregularity,
and shortness of breath,
The uanger from this condition Is that,
the continued disturbance of the heart
sooner or later may cause real organic
heart trouble, and, in fact, frequently does
SO.
Furthermore, poor digestion makes the
blood thin and watery and deficient in red
corpuscles. and this further irritates and
weakens the heart
The most sensible thing to do for heart
trouble is to ensure the digestion and as
similation Of the food
This can be done by the regular use af-
Ter meals Of some safe. pleasant. and ef
fective digestive preparation like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain the
necessary digestive elements in pleas
ant, convenient form,
Thousands Of people keep well and Wig
orous by keeping their digestion perfect by
observing the rule. Of taking one or two Of
these tablets after each meal, or al least
after each hearty meal
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain U. S.
+. pepsin. diastase from malt and other
natural digestives which act only on the
food. digesting it perfectly and prevent
ing acidity. gases. and the many diseased
conditions which accompany weak stom-
ach.
When Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
used you may know you are not taking
into the system any strong medicine or
powerful drug but simply the natural di-
gestive elements which every weak stomach
lacks.
So widely known and popular have these
tablets become that they are now sold in
the United States. Canada, and Great

REMEMBERED IN LONDON
Annual Thanksgiving Dinner Of
the American Society.
One of the Most Successful Functions
Ever Held Under the Auspices
Ambassador ChOate The United
states the Cinderella of Nations.

LONDON. Nov 29.-Many Americans
were unable to secure seats in the largest
banquet hall in London. where the Ameri-
can Society partook of its annual Thanks
giving dinner. 1t was one Of the most
successful functions ever held under the
auspices of the society. f. Y. Van Duser
presided. Four hundred guests were pres
ent.
The speakers were Ambassador Choate.
William Court Gully speaker of the House
of Commons, Lord Alverstone. Lord Chief
Justice of England, the Lord Mayor of
London, Justice Sir James Matthew. and
Lieut. Col. A. H. Lee, formerly military
attache of the British Embassy at Wash
ington.
Mr.. Choate's speech was one Of the hap
piest he has made in London. Remaraing
that history recorded that about 10000
English emigrated to New England cur
ing the twelve years preceding the Long
Parliament, he said he understood there
are now in and about London 10000
Americans who had returned to stay, cut
of whom the American Society had Teen
formed. They had returned after 250
years as England's prodigal sons. They
did not, however, claim the fatted calf
because they would not be contented with
anything less than the stalled OK.
Turning to the subject of the day, he
. said America had many things to be
thankful for. above all the happy rela-
tions in which she stood with all the
great nations Of the world. He had read
in the press the other day that the United
States had at last taken it's place in the
family of nations. They had the idea at
home that she had always been at the
family hearth. He regarded her as sort
of Cinderella in that family.
During her childhood and youth she had,
perhaps been somewhat ignored and neg
lected by her elder sisters. but now they
appreciated her merits at their full worth.
She had found fairy godmother. who had
advised her to lay aside the homely gar
ments in which she was fedged and to put
on the full panoply of armor to which
she was entitled. She had done SO, and
the result was she had been received not
only with friendship. but with homage,
and the slippers Oh her feet were objects
of general admiration.
re United States had nad great in
crease of family lately. He found from
the census that instead of forty-n nine set
tiers, the remnant of the Mayflower's
passengers. there were now 10000, 600 of
them. each having his guinea or more
of solid gold laid up in the common purse.
People were focking from all parts of
the world to borrow money from them.
They raised enough food and cotton not
only for themselves. but almost enough
TO fed and clothe, others. America was
true missionary nation. She fed the hun
CRY and clothed the naked in all quarters
OF the globe for a consideration.

FALSE PRETENcEs THE CHARGE.
Efforts to secure DIR. w. a. Fcrsu-
sons Removal From New York.

Detective McNamee, accompanied by DR..
AuTelius r. Stands. went to New York
last night iu connection with the arrest in
that city of DR.. William 4. Ferguson,
who is wanted here on a charge of false
prctences. They will be present at
hearing this morning before United
States Commissioner, at which efforts will
be made TO secure the removal of Dr.
Ferguson to this city.
The sum involved in the alleged fraudu-
LETT transaction is Sc, said to have been
obtained by the prisoner by false repre-
sentations. He is said to have stated that
he was in distress. and to have introduced
himself as DR.. +. Peyre Porcher. of
Charleston, S. c. DR.. Stands gave him a
check for Sc, which he endorsed and had
cashed. Moreover, il is said, DR.. Frye
was asked for assistance by Ferguson,
and he gave the accused 81. 1t is learned
that Dr.. VI. Peyre Porcher. does live
in Chariestown, s. c. DR.. Stands knew
OF the latter. and was induced to believe
the story told by Ferguson.
After obtaining the money Ferguson left
the city, but investigation of his state
mems led the police to ask his arrest by
the New York authorities. He will prob
ably be brought here this week for trial.

NEWS FROM ALEXANDRIA.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. Nov. 29.-Sidney
Smith Foster. colored, who was charged
with the many petty robberies that have
been committed Of late, was this morning
arraigned before Mayor Simpson to an
swer the charges. A large number of wit
nesses were summoned in the case The
first charge against the prisoner was that
of stealing several window sashes from
Mrs. Katherine Makeley's house, 222 North
Alfred Street Chief Webster was the first
witness examined. He told Of the officers
working up the case, and he then went to
the secondhand furniture establishment
conducted by Charles Griffin, in Cameron
Street, near Royal. Griffin showed witness
two mats, and he brought them to the
stationhouse and identified Foster as the
man who had sold him the goods. The wit
ness stated that Foster admitted OF hav-
ing sold two window sashes to Hugh Strid-
er, who conducts a secondhand store near
Grifiin's, also a rocking chair from the
residence of George s. French, 105 NcS.h
Alfred Street, which he had sold to Grit
fin, which was recovered.
Mike Foster, an uncle of Foster. stated
that the prisoner had brought shoes home
last Saturday night, but he could not iden-
tify the shoes II they were produced. Of
ficer Wilkinson went to Mrs. Makeley's
house and found that ten sashes had been
stolen. The accused had offered to sell
barber named Delaney and man named
Pete Hall the sashes. Walter Gregory had
seen the prisoner with window sashes as
did several others. Hugh Strider denied
purchasing a sash from the accused. and
told the policemen that they could search
his premises without warrant IL they so
desired. Last night about 0 O'Clock Po-
liceman Wilkinson found two sashes in the
rear OF the City Hotel, where they had
been hid. After Policeman Wilkinson had
finished giving in his evidence the mayor
took occasion to compliment him for the
zeal and energy he displayed in working
up the case. Policeman Goods stated that
his evidence was in effect the same as
Wilkinson's. The mats stolen were from
the residences OF Mrs Waller, 607 Queen
Street. and Mrs. Charles Picken. Gil Queen
Street They Identified their property and
it was returned to them.
Several ether witnesses we're examined,
but their evidence threw no new develop
ments on the case. The mayor said that it
was a grand jury case and sent the ac-
cused to Jail for ten days.
