LONDON, April 27.-Foliowing a debate
on the question of fees paid to law
officers of the crown, vote was taken in
the house of commons with the result
that the government had majority Of
only 49, which is the smallest on any
important during the present or last par
lament. -
The majority would have been reduced
to II but for an accident. Twenty-one
Irish members were absent Several Of
the ministeialists refused to vote, while
four of them voted against the govern
ment.
1t is stated that the government is
much annoyed by the vote and that it
intends to try and discipline the party
in connection with it. The incident NAV
not necessarily indicate growing weak
ness Of the government, although it Is
conjectured that irritation over the ex-
port duty on coal was to some extent
ansWerable for the small majority.

CONGRESSMAN. BOTKIN is one OF
I the most influential and best
known men in the State of Kansas.
Whatever he may say on any subject
will be accepted by the people as the
truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna
could not have well escaped the atten-
ton of SO famous man. He not only
has heard of the remedy, but he has
used it and was relieved of an affection
of twenty-five years standing. Peruna
is the one internal remedy that cures
chronic catarrh. 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. This is fact that
the people are rapidly finding out, but
there are still large multitude who
need to know it.
Mr.. Frank Richter, Of Winona, Mimi,
says in a letter to The Peruna Medi-
cine Company:
''As a remedy for catarrh I take
pleasure in recommending Peruna for
catarrh of the stomach. [ know what
it is to be afflicted with this awful dis
ease and consider it my duty to say
word in behalf of the remedy which
gave me such relief. Peruna cured me,
and know it will cure anyone else who
suffers from this disease. It gives me
great pleasure to testify to the cura-
tive effects of this medicine. Peruna is
well tested and frequently used rem
edy, and for catarrh of the stomach is
unsurpassed.

in my head and stomach. / tried many
remedies without success. [ tried sew

was assisted by Capt. John Newton,
Of the Thirtyfourth volunteer in
fantry; Lieut. Admire, of the Twenty
second infantry; Lieut.. Mitchell, of
the Fortieth volunteers, and Surgeon
Major Harris.
The expedition was conveyed by
the gunboat Vicksburg and the
cruiser Albany to a landing place on
the east coast of Luzon, north of
Baler
The rebel chieftain's hiding place
was revealed by Filipino officer,
who turned over to Gov. Gen. Mac
Arthur a letter from Aguinaldo. The
letter ordered the Filipino officer and
other leaders of the insurge1t forces
in southern Luzon to meet him at a
designated rendezvous in Isabella
province.
Gen. Funston at once proposed to
head an expedition to Isabella prov
ince in an effort to capture Agui-
naldo. After much discussion Gov.
Gen. Macarthur consented, and prep
arations were begun.
FunstOn's AdrOit Ruse.
uIS UOIl pan VI opera was
unique. After being landed on the
east coast Funston and his four
American companions were to play
the role of prisoners in the hands of
the natives, who were to represent
themselves to Aguinaldo as loyal Fill
ipinos. When brought before Agui-
naldo the latter was to be seized by
Funston's native troops and made
prisoner.
The adventure was a desperate one,
as it's success or failure depended on
the faithfulness of Funston's native
soldiers. They were Maccabebes, who
have been loyal to the United States
almost from the day the American
troops landed. They were worthy of
the trust imposed on them, as proven
by the success of the enterprise.
Funston's plans went through as
well as they had been planned.
|Aguinaldo fell into the trap, was
made a prisoner and was brought to
Manila in the gunboat Vicksburg,
which remained cruising off the east
coast of Luzon for that purpose.
End of War Now Near.
Washington, March 2S.-The cap
ture of Aguinaldo is a source of
great satisfaction to the president
and his advisers. Coming SO soon
after the surrender of prominent
Filipino officers reported by Gen.
Macarthur and the successful estab-
lishment of civil local government
by the Taft commission, they feel
that the end of the rebellious war
fare in the islands is near at hand.
Vital Questions Raised.
| Several interesting and indeed vital
questions are raised by Aguinaldo's
capture. If the insurrection now col
llapses, as it is hoped it will, it may
not be necessary to enlist the full
strength of the army provided for in
the army reorganization bill. There
also is the question of the disposition
to be made of the insurgent chief.
But it is too early yet for the author
titles to decide these questions.
| There is also much speculation as to
the reward which Gen. Funston may
receive for his work. Tt is considered
not improbable that his reward will be
a brigadier generals commission in
| the regular establishment.

MAKING AToNEMENT.
A Little Known Story About One
Who Bore Benedict ArnOld's Name.

A Little Known Story About One
Who Bore Benedict Arnold's Name.
Touching on the treason of Benedict
Arnold there Is q little known story
which had for the scene of its action the
four years of the war of secession, says
the Chicago Tmes-Herald. In response
to the first call of Abraham Lincoln for
troops a young man appeared at De-
troit recruiting Office and enlisted. He
went to the front and in the course of six
months was made a commissioned officer.
He was of a retiring disposition, always
courteous to his fellow officers and just to
his men, but he sought no close friend
ships. He was known throughout the
command as a man whose devotion to
duty amounted to a passion. He once
sought and secured a change Of command
In order to have more frequent hand in
the heavy fighting. He was wounded
three or four times and was SO restlessly
anxious to get back to duty that the sur
Reons found him hard patient.
This soldier rose to the rank of major.
At the battle of Lookout Mountain he
was desperately wounded. He was in the
hospital for some months. Then conva-
lescence came and with convalescence the
FESTIVE desire to get to the front again.
He told the surgeon that he was fully
able to report for duty. The surgeon told
him that he was not and that he must
stay on the sick report for some time lon
ger. Then the major wrote letter to his
colonel in the field and asked him if the
obeying of the doctors orders was COM
pulsory. The colonel, who knew his man,
wrote back that 1t was as much a part of
q soldiers duty to obey the surgeon as it
was to obey a commanding officer who
ordered a charge on breastworks in the
face of shrapnel This satisfied the ma
jor, and he underwent the rest Of his con-
finement in the hospital resignedly if not
cheerfully.
Finally the major went back to the
front. He was offered at one time a colo
n0lcy. He declined. He fought in every
battle of the later Richmond campaign
and was in at the end at Appomattox.
The major headed his battalion in the
great parade Of the returning victors up
Pennsylvania avenue. Then there came
the final mastering out of the troops.
Less than month afterward the colonel
of a fighting line regiment received let
ter bearing Toronto postmark. 1t was
from the major. 1t said in part: 81 serv-
ed all through the war under an assumed
name. / trust that did my full duty. 1
wish you now to know that did what l
did in order that l might in some little
way make atonement for the deed of one
Of my family. Sir, l am a Canadian by
birth, and my name Is John Benedict
Arnold"

The wedding march was played by Miss

The parlors were nicely filled with guests
who were the immediate friends and rel
