London, March l9.-The mouths of the
paniemongers have been stopped, and by
a Frenchman. 1t is a curious commentary
upon a certain side of the British charac.
ter which has lately been much IN evil
dence. Several papers of fair standing have
seriously been putting forward the prob
ability of war with france and their sen.
sations have been gulped down eagerly
by small section of the British public,
though well informed people are only
amused. France, however, was not the
only nation which, it was asserted, medi-
tated an immediate invasion of England
Russia, Germany and Austria, according
to the manufacturers of panics, had de
signs to take advantage of Great Britain's
troubles in South Africa. With the cries
for home defense in the ascendant, Great
Britain might have duplicated the scenes
when the island awaited the prospective
invasion of Napoleon. But M. Delcasse
the French foreign minister, spoke and
the DOGGY of European hostility and i'll
reference vanished. The hand of the
Frenchman restored calm to Great Britain

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness. and that Is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is inflamed
you have q rumblng sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when It 10 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 destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
CAtarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces

The Military Salute.

The war has brought the half mill.
tary salutation into still more popular
ity. Even ladies consider that it ia
much more reverent and popular than
the old custom Of the gentlemen lifting
their hats to the women, and many of
the sex divine" are now returning and
giving the half military salutation in
stead of the old-time formal bows. It
is q little awkward at the start, but
the half military salutation is the most
graceful manner Of greeting friends,
and besides 1t is much more dignified
than old-time Blowing and scraping."

Riot Narrowly Averted.

Chicago, March l9.-The presence of
strikers, sympathizers and spectators num-
bering more than 100, in the vicinity
of the Western Electric company's fac
tory Saturday resulted in riot call being
sent to the Desplaines street police sta
ton. A wagon load of policemen hurried
to the scene and prevented, it is believed,
a serious attack on the non-union men
employed by the electric company. The
crowd, which completely filed the streets,
hooted at the police and declined to bulge
until the blueeoats made a vigorous
charge.

CONGRESS IS 70 BLAME
SUFFERING In PUERTO RICO
1t Demands Immediate Relief--A
Public Meeting Held-Many People
Are Starved, Barefoot and Ragged
"A Huge Petition.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, March l9.-At
special meeting of the chamber of com.
meree recently it was decided to close all
business houses to enable the merchants
TO attend an open air meeting on the
plaza, with the object of drawing up a
petition to Governor General Davis de.
handing immediate congressional decision
on the tariff one way or the other. The
agreements were sent to all towns
throughout Puerto Rico, requesting like
demonstrations. The feeling of uncer-
tainty regarding the tariff holds business
practically at standstill, the merchants
beinfi afraid to order goods or to advance
funds on the planters accounts. The
meeting was conducted in calm and bust
ness-like manner. The merchants will be
satisfied to accept any decision OF con-
gress-either free trade, the 25 per cent
or the 10 per cent tariff-but they ask
for q settlement of the question so that
business activity may be resumed. They
decided to take this unparalleled step only
after mature deliberation.
begging for Food.
Sixty country women marched from
Narantjito last evening and petitioned
General Davis to save them from star
walton and to provide work and food.
The women presented a most pitiable
sight. They were barefooted and ragged,
half naked, dust covered and weary from
their journey.
The petition which they presented to
the governor general tells the story of
the depressing times, no work and the
price OF rice, beans and bread beyond
reach, fruits destroyed and the relief sup
plies discontinued, bringing them and
others where they came from almost to
starvation. General Davis promised relief
to the party, and requested the mayor to
provide them transportation. HIS reply
was that there was not peso in the
treasury, and that the police were yet
unpaid for their last two months work.
Similar parties are expected from other
towns.

Zero weather i'm Chicago.

Chicago, March l9.-The temperature
Saturday morning beat all records for this
late in March since 1888. AT 2 o'clock
in the morning the thermometer registered
one below zero. The cold wave, which
originated in the northwest, had its cen
ter in this district. Chicago, Milwaukee
and Green Bay were the only places where
the temperature reached zero. The frost
filled the Chicago police stations with
dodgers and there was a good deal of suf-
fering among the poor families.
