THE QUESTION OF PRIVATEERS
AGAIN DISCUSSED IN CONNECTION
WITH TRANSVAAL WAR.
Kruger's Recent Re-
fusaI to Grant Letters OF Marque, the
Promoters Of this scheme Renew
Their Requests aud Threaten TO Act
Regardless of His yishes-The ABB
sudity OF Such Proceeding shown.

Brussels, July 6.-The Petit Bleu says
that Mr.. Kruger has lately refused to
entertain proposals to arm privateers,
but that the promoters are again urg-
ing the former president OF the South
African republic to notify the powers
that unless they intervene he will issue
letters of marque. In the event Of Mr..
Kruger's continued refusal the promot-
ers propose to act without authorize
ton.
Washington, July 6.-The report from
Brussels that former President Kruger
is being urged to notify the powers
that unless they intervene id. the South
African contest he will commission pri-
vateers is not treated seriously here.
1t is we'll understood. as one outcome
of the war with Spain. that the Unit
ed States government will never again
except in the most extraordinary emer-
gency. issue letters OF marque, and the
same reasons that impel the govern
ment to this course undoubtedly would
operate to prevent our government
from recognizing any such warrants
issued by any other nation, even were
that nation in full standingx
In the case of the Spanish war, both
the belligerents, by agreement, refrain
ed from issuing commissions to priva-
teers, and it now has been many years
since the flag Of any respectable nation
has flown over such craft.
In the case Of Mr.. Kruger. 1T is ex.
tremely doubtful whether he would, il
the issue were forced in this way, be
recognized as a de facto president au-
thorized to issue commissions to priva
teers. That point would have to be
settled at the outset and each natior
whose commerce was affected sor was
threatened by the privateers would de-
termine for itself his competency. 1t is
scarcely to be expected that they woult
decide against their own commercial in
terests, so that Mr.. Kruger's privateer:
would find it difficult to secure genera
recognition.
The threat to send out privateer:
without President Kruger's consent i:
idle. 1t is pointed out here that sucl
craft would be pirates, pure and simple
and the civilized world would combin,
to sweep them from the seas, if they
should begin operations against thu
commerce Of any nation.

Newport, r. l., July 6.-An unqua1-
fed victory for the Constitution: an
overwhelming defeat for the Indepen-
dence; a most commendable showing
for the old champion, the Columbia, IS
the record of the first days contest OF
the big sIoops in the Newport Yacht
racing association series.
From the firing of the starting gun
which sent the yachts off to windward
in a light easterly breeze the Consti-
tuition held her rivals. At the turning
buoy she was a little more than two
minutes in advance of the Columbia,
while the independence was hull down
to leeward. But it was on the run home
that the new Herreshoff yacht showed
her greatest strength, beating the Co
lumbia over eight minutes in the fifteen
miles down the wind, and when the
new champion of the Americas cup
swept across the line the Boston yacht
was over seven miles astern.
Owing to the iightness Of the wind
there was no brilliant or dramatic scene
to chronicle. The race lacked the charm
that attends a scupper breeze, but it
was nevertheless full of interesting, if
not exciting events.
The chief incident of the contest was,
of course the failure of the Indepen-
dence to meet the expectations Of her
adherents. That she was a failure in
the weather conditions that prevailed
today cannot be gainsaid. AT no
time during the contest to windward
did she show any weatherly qualities
whatever. She did not point as high
as her opponents nor did she even for a
brief interval demonstrate that she pos
sessed a fraction of that speed which
she seemed to have shown when sailing
by herself. That she may be vastly i'm
proved is possible, that she profoundly
disappointed her friends today cannot
be concealed, for in light winds her ex-
cellence was chiefly supposed to rest.
When she got fairly out into the open
sea she pounded heavily in the south
west swell and the more she pounded,
the more she seemed to lose headway.
So far as the Constitutions success
was concerned, it was no more than
was expected of her by those who have
watched her keenly since her launch.
Handled splendidly and with rare judg-
ment, but not in the least better
than the Columbia, her superior size
and bigger sail plan told.
The boasts of some experts that Nat
Herreshoff had reached his limit when
he designed the Columbia are not JUS
titled by today's race.
Whether the Columbia will beat the
Constitution in hard weather remains
to be proved.
The Columbia was sailed in a most
meritorious manner from start to fin
ish. All the arts of the professional sea
journey were practiced by Barr, the
sailing master, and E. D. Morgan, the
manager, to overcome their vastly abler
opponent. That they should have kept
the inferior boat so close to her superior
antagonist in the race to the outer
mark was a wonderful piece of work.
That the Constitution is by far the
better all around boat, let it blow high
or low, is hardly to be doubted after
her showing today.

A FEW REASONS
Whish Are Rapidly Making New
catarrh Cure Famous.

stuarts Catarrh Tablets. the new
catarrh cure has the following advan.
tages over other catarrh remedies.
First These tablets contain no
cocaine morphine or any other In
furious drug and are as safe and bene.
fetal for children as for adults: mis
is an moiprtant point when It is re-
called that many catarrh remedies do
contain these very Objectionable in
gradients.
Next; Being in tablet form this
remedy does not deteriorate with age.
or an exposure to the air as liquid
preparations invariably do
Next. The tablet form not only
preserves the medicinal proprieties
but it is so far more convenient to
carry and to use at any time that it
is onl va question Of time when the
tablet VIII entirely supersede liquid
medicines as it has already done in
the medical department Of the United
States army
Next: No secret is made Of the
composition of stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's they contain the active princi-
pies Of Eucalyptus bark red gum,
blood root and Hydrastin. All harmless
antiseptics which. however, are death
to catarrhal germs wherever found
because they eliminate them from the
blood
Next You can not cure catarrh by
local APPLICATIONS to the nose and
throat, because these are simply local
symptoms and such treatment can not
possibly reach the real seat of ca
tarrhal disease which is in the blood;
for this reason inhalers. douches,
sprays and powders never really cure
catarrh. but SIMPLY give temporary
relief which a dose of plain salt and
water will do just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the
system, out of the blood. by an in
ternal remedy because an internal
remedy is the only iknd which can be
assimilated into the blood.
Stusrt's Catarrh Tablets do this bet
ter than the old form of treatment
because they contain every safe
specific known to modern science in
the antiseptic form of the disease.
Next: The use of inhalers, and
spraying apparatuses, besides being
ineffective and disappointing is ex-
pensive, while a complete treatment
OF Stuarts Catarrh Tablets can be
had at an ydrug store n the United
States and Canada for so cents.

great many people in the terri

tell him in about a minute, as he
wanted to get back home. We told
him we had been reading three Okla
homa daily papers for a month past,
and the thing was so mixed up that
we co.ldnt tell HIM the particulars
inside Of several hours. and then we
would have to make it a continued

sizes up the situation, there was a
cyndioate formed to buy the insane
asylum at Norman and get the con
tract from the territory for the care
Of the insane They capitalized the
concern for double the amount Of the
money they put up and told Governor
Jenkins that he could place 00OO
