American Shipping Statistics

Washington, February 13.-The sec
rotary of the treasury today made re
ply to the resolution of the senate of
the 18th instant concerning the shipp-
ing of the country as affected by the
ship subsidy bill by sending in a re-
port from the commissioner of naviga-
ton. The statement includes a COM
plete list of the merchant vessels Of
the United States, of which it is stated
here are 1888 in number. Of these
1880 aggregating a gross tonnage of
726, 694 tons are registered for the for
eign trade, while the vessels licensed
for the coasting trade number 1908 of
4 1885, 145 gross tons. The commission
er says there is no legal obstacle to
any of these coastwise vessels Of more
than thirty tons entering the foreign
trade, but that the length of the canal
locks would prevent many of the larger
of the vessels of the great lakes from,
passing to the sea. For this and other
reasons he finds 1t impracticable to
state the number of ooasting vessels
liable to be registered for the foreign
trade under the shipping bill. The
number of American vessels in the for
eign trade elieible to subsidies under
the bill is placed at 1881, of which 964
are sailing vessels.

The spanish Rioters.

Madrid, February 13.-With night-fall
every approach to the Puerta del Sol
was damned with the idle populace.
Insulting remark were hurled at the
police and the civil guard. A trumpet
er sounded a charge, which was made
with swords drawn. Heads were not
spared, many persons were injured and
there were numerous arrests.
The scattering crowds sought the
shops and hotels. All the front doors
of the Hotel de Paris were smashed in,
a great crowd assembling there. The
police and guards charged into the
streets leading to the Puerta del Sol,
but the dispersed throngs quickly re-
assembled.
In some quarters considerable anx-
iety has been felt as to the outcome
for this evening, for reports have been
circulated that the agitators had Sc
lected tonight for the beginning of an
organized outbreak.

VIII Not Commit Suicide

Pekin, February 13.-At least three
of the Chinese to whom Emperor
Kwang Su sent a choice of methods or
suicide, in pursuance of the demand Of
the powers for their punishment with
death, have declined to comply, n the
emperor has withdrawn his request
that they should destroy themselves.
His majesty now telegraphs Primes
Ching that when he agreed to the
terms of the joint note the latter only
required that the punishment should
fit the crime, and he argues that IL the
worst of the guilty deserve death. the
others hould be banished.
The foreign ENJOYS. on the contrary,
say that those who are least guilty
deserve death. and as there is no worse
punishment. all must suffer the same
penalty, although. il China should de-
sire to nal distinctions regarding the
crimes. h can sentence the worst
either to uuartering or to some other
forms Of Chinese execution
Unless the court changes its views.

Raleigh, February 13.
There are about 1000 special pension
bills before the legislature today. a
number OF these are for increase of pen

Wilson, N. c., February IA.
For several weeks it has been talked
around Wilson that smallpox haS again
broken out here. DR.. Josh TaylOe, of
Washington, was sent here to make an
official examination. He found in the
district known as Grab Neck, seven
cases of wha he called smallpox. The
doctors of Wilson have seen these cases
and pronounce them c~hickenpox. The
disease. if smallpox, is in it's mildest
form. During the past few weeks
many children belonging to the best
families here have had this disease
with no serious results.
The fact that smallpox is in several
Of h counties adjoining Wilson adds
to the chances of it's finally getting to

thority here have advised vaccination.
This will not be made compulsory at
this time but should the disease gain a
foothold here it will have to be resort
ed to.

The citizens of Goldsboro will have
few days over b question whether
the dispeasary is to be or o to be.
1t seems that the parents of some of
our young men who have been indulg-
ing too freely in the social drink, have
decided to see if they can % get the
d~ispensary in Goldsboro, preferring that
to the present mode of barrooms; and
the ministers of the city have been out
for two days around with petitions for
the citizens to sign. The s~aloonists are
also out with counterpetitions. 1t IS
hoped that there Will not be ingendered
any Ill feeling because of this step ard
that only good to the city'S morals viii
be the outcome.

Use Peru11a For Colds, Coughs anc
Catarrf1.

As the skin covers the outside OF b
body, so the mucous membranes L the
inside. Every organ, every duct, every
passage, every cavity Of tho body, Is
lined by mucous membrane. These mu-
cous membranes are liable from various
causes to become irritated or infamed.
When this occurs Ii Is called catarrh,
and catarrh may be located in the head,
nose, middle ear, throat, bronchial tubes,
or air cells Of the lungs, liver, bowels,
kidneys, bladder, provocative and urf-
nary organs. Wherever there il Q mu-
cous membrane, there catarrh may be
also.
To be sure, cafarrh Of these various
organs has been known by different
names; that Is, cafanh OF the stomach
has been called dyspepsia. cafsrrh o.
the kidneys, Brighf's Disease: catarrk
of ihe bowels, diarrhea or dyserfer;
cafarrh of the provocative organs, fc.
male trouble, and so on, and SO on.
Bat our claim Is, that these an aH one
and the same diSease-cafarrh-and
that our remedy, Peruna, Is applicable
to Catarrh OF all of these various or.
gans.
Peruna is not q "cure all" lit just
one disease-catarrh. But since catarrh
is able to fasten itself within the differ
ent organs of the body, SO it is h a Pc
runa cures affections OF these organs.
| But we insist that Peruna cures one dis
ease only. We claim that Peruna is the
only internal, scientific remedy for ca
tarrh yet devised. We claim that ca
tarrh is a systemic disease; that is to
say, it invades the whole system. We
| claim that Peruna is a systemic remedy;
that is to say it eradicates catarrh from
the system. Catarrh is not a local dis
ease; Peruna is not q local remedy.
Since catarrh invades the system, only
a systemic remedy can reach it. Thisis,
in brief, our claim in assigning to the
disease-catarrh-our remedy, Peruna.
Aninstructive and interesting treatise
on catarrh in it's different forms and
stages, will be sent free to any address
