THE OLD ALABAMA TROUBLE RECALLED Is United States Furnishing Supplies Against Treaty2. ENGLAND IS STIRRED UF Question as to Whether America Has Right to Ship Supplies While
 Great Britain Is at War
 With the Boers.
ENGLAND IS STIRRED UF

London, February 20.-The reported de- termination of the House of Representa- tives at Washington to inquire into rhe question whether the United States has broken the treaty of 1871 by permitting the exportation of horses, mules and oth- CT supplies to the British forces In South Africa, created more academic interest than practical concern in the government apartments here. A representative of
 Associated Press brought the dispatch on the subject to the notice of the foreign office and war office. The officials of the latter regarded the possible effects of any future action of the United States as of small import, as about all the mules and horses required for South Africa had already been secured.
 During the course of the inquiries made opinion was expressed that the end of the war as an active campaign was now in sight, and that within few months mill itary operations in South Africa would assume that stage which for years has marked the war In Burmah, which wore itself out without attracting particular interest in Great Britain or elsewhere. This opinion was expressed by no less an authority than the under secretary of state for the foreign office, Lord Cram borne. in whose province such matters as the reported Congressional action prop erly belongs. He produced from the files of the foreign office a copy of the treaty, where it had peacefully reposed since the days when the Alabama matter had never been classified as contraband of war. So far as supplies so, the official maintained that Great Britain has not secured from the United States anything which would come under the head of military sup plies" which Is the wording of article 6 in the treaty. He added
 If tin and so forth are supplies re- ferred to, why 1t Is true enough. But 1t would seem impossible to stop the trade of the two countries in these commodi- ties simply because we are now at war with the Boers."

NOTHING EQUALS IT
For the Cure of Catarrh,

A physician now retired from practice, but who still keeps abreast of the times.
 in speaking of the advance made in medi-
 cine in the last ten years says: "One of
 the most obstinate and baffling diseases is the very common trouble, catarrh"
 Nasal catarrh Is only one of its many
 forms; catarrh of the throat, catarrh of
 the stomach. bowels. liver and bladder
 are very common, but tho sufferer usu-
 ally thinks 1t Is something else than ca-
 tarrh, and is treated for the wrong dis
 ease.
 The best and most successful treat
 ment for any form of catarrh is now ad-
 mitted to be by internal remedies through
 the stomach, and the safest and prob-
 ably the most efficient is in the tablet
 form, sold by druggists as Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets. aN
 I have seen many remarkable cures of catarrh resulting from regular daily use of these tablets, which seem to act on the blood and liver, driving the catarrhal poison out of the system through the natural channels 0e
 I once had occasion to analyze these tablets and found them to contain no CO., caine nor opiates, but simply a combina- tion of harmless antiseptics like Eucalyp- tal Guaiacol, blood root etc.
 | At any rate, I have known of severe catarrhal headaches which were cured by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and ca- tarrhai deafness. hay fever, asthma and | catarrh of the throat and stomach speed fly show great benefit after a few days use of the remedy: and when 1t is re- membered how much more convenient a tablet is than inhalers, douches, salves | and powders 1t is not surprising that this new preparation should so rapidly SUD- plant all other remedies for catarrh.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady nearly always inherit 1t mot necessarily from the parents, but may be from some remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through several generations. This deadly poison may lay dormant in the blood for wears, or until you reach middle life, then the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap- nearance-or a swollen gland in tho breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning.
 To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma' nently all the poisonous virus must be eliminated from the blood-every vestage of it driven out This s. s. s. does, and is the only medicine that can reach deep seated. obstinate blood troubles like this. When all the poison has been forced out of the system the Cancer heals, and the disease never returns.
 Cancer begins often in small way, as the following letter from Mrs; Shirer shows:

 If we cannot get some change either as to the amount of the appropriation or In the language of the bill, the result will be that these contracts will not be let and the money will not be expended by the treasury, because of the failure to let the contracts for the amount appropriat- ed.

Catarrh may attack any organ of the body. Women are especially liable to catarrh of the pelvic organs. There are one hundred cases of catarrh of the pelvic organs to one of catarrh of the head.
