WAR is IMMINENT BETWEEN
COLOMBIA AND VENEZUELA

Bogota. Colombia, Nov. 27.-The Co
lombian government has issued de-
cree declaring that diplomatic relations
with Venezuela have ceased and that
the Colombian legation in Caracas has
been Withdrawn. Senor Concha, min
lister of war. says that the Colombian
government has 10000 men armed for
action.
Washington. Nov. 21.-Colombia's
severance of diplomatic relations with
Venezuela has created a sensation in
official and diplomatic Washington.
Rather than the war should take place
the United States will undoubtedly
again tender the use of its offices with
n view to affecting an amicable. settle
ment of the differences between the
two republics. The intimation was
given to the Caracas and BogOta gov
ernments in August last that the Presi-
dent was disposed to peaceably inter-
vene.
Colombia gratefully acknowledged
Secretary Hays note and expressed
Willingness that the United States
should act as mediator. President Cas-
tro presented reply which was n
practical rejection of the American pro-
posal and he subsequently showed that
his refusal was due to a feeling of
enmity entertained for the United
States by accepting the good offices of
Chilli.

SIR THOMAS Upton
MAY TRY, TRY AGAIN

London, Nov. 27.-"Should no one
else challenge, l am willing seriously
to consider making another attempt
to lift the cup"
This announcement was given out
by Sir Thomas Upton at the banquet
in his honor. attended by more than
400 guests.
1T would never do" added Sir
Thomas, ito give up when only pulse
beat came between us and victory"
1T was only matter of toss of
the coin," said Sir Thomas. I'VE raced
over 100 miles and the decision was
only mater of seconds. which goes
to show that we are justified in believ-
ing we can build boats to bring back
the cup"
He declared nothing could have ex-
ceeded the fairness of the Americans.
They made everything easy" said
Sir Thomas, except the trifling mat
ter of lifting the cup. while the perfect
manner in which the course was kept
clear was little short of marvellous"
He offered both the Shamrocks as
trial boats to any Britisher anxious to
challenge, and closed his remarks with
the declaration that he would be will
ing to make another attempt for the
cup should no one else do so. and ex-
pressing his confidence that the third
Shamrock would have the luck of the
three-leafed shamrock.

PEACE TESTS OF BRAVERY.

Peace has its tests of sailors or
soldiers bravery no less severe
than those Of war. though they may
be less glorious. Few civilians would
fancy the duty which has been assign

themselves up in the new submarine
torpedo boat Fulton, OF sinking then
below the surface OF the water. and Of
remaining there from twelve to fifteen
hours. The officers and men who are

Dowie Elder to BE Punished.

Victoria. b. c.. Nov. 27-Eugene
Brooks, elder of Dowie's Christian
catholic Church in Zion, has been
found guilty and sentenced to three
months without hard labor for aiding
and abbetting John Rogers, who was
recently found guilty of manslaughter
for not providing his infants with med
ical attendance when they were suffer-
ing from diphtheria, from which they
died.
Brooks sentence was respited and he
was admitted to the Appellate Court
on the question as to whether under
the law medical attendance was Il
necessary of life. Two members of
the Court of Appeals have decided in
previous cases that medical attendance
was so considered. Brooks remarked
that II he was guilty after the death
Of the children he must have been gull
ty for preaching Dowie's doctrine. Mr..
Justice Drake replied that he was, and
added: You know what the law Is

DRESS HAS THE ADVANTAGE.

1t may be unfortunate. but it is true.
that dress and manners count for
about as much as ability in the capi-
tails of Europe and South America. A
diplomat who is laughed at in society
can be OF little use to his government.
He loses much of the gossip heard in
exclusive circles which a diplomat
ought to know. and he meets with
coldness instead of cordiality at the
foreign Office. The general character
of the United States representatives
abroad has been raised of recent years.
But congress has not yet appreciated
tee value of the social standing OF the
governments envoys.-Kansas City

THE FREEDOM OF THE PULPIT.

In his interesting discourse on the
question. "Is the Pulpit Free?" Rev.
Frederick c. Priest got at the root Of
the matter when he said that the
preacher should be a specialist and
should attend to his speciality. Within
the limits OF that speciality and the
creed that he processes his freedom is
~ perfect as human freedom can be-.
He is always secure In the approval
Of his parishioners when he breaches
a thoroughly Christian sermon, found
ed on the moralities and the promises
OF the gospel and more than that. 1t
is by such sermons alone that he can
best help. comfort and inspire his
hearers.

armored cruisers, four picket vessels,
six sea-going gunboats. six light-draft
steel gunboats of about 600 tons dis
placement, six light-draft steel gun

an increase of so per cent in the num-

sion that the service should be en-
braced in the classified service. Su-

Sore throat has many names. Some call it catarrh of the pharynx. Itis also called chronic tonsilitis. Follicular phsryngitis is the name that doctors de- light to call it, as they generally prefer the longer words. Public speakers and preachers are so prone to have sore throat, that it is sometimes called preachers' sore throat.
 It makes little difference what name we call it--just plain sore throat is hard enough to bear without indulging in long names. Chronic sore throat gener- ally begins by 8 scratching sensation in the throat, and there may be little dry ness or constant desire to keep swallow ing. Painful swallowing and hawking is sure to come later if nothing is done for 1t.
 Sore throat is almost certain, after it has become chronic, to gradually extend downward to the lungs. When this hap pens consumption is often the result
