ANOTHER Big Undertaking.

The report comes from England that
j. Pierpont Morgan, in connection with
Rothschild, is about organizing Il bank
with capital of billion dollars, to be
known as the Anglo-American bank.

enormous number of financial agencies
which every large banking house con
siders it necessary to maintain both in
Europe and the United States 1t is
virtually Il scheme Of gigantic console
dation in order to save expenses through
general management. The Britishers
have come to the conclusion that j..
Picrpont Morgan can accomplish al
most anything, and it is reported the
Kings servants in Windsor castle are
somewhat disturbed lest j. Pierpont
Morgan should offer very large price

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized woLld. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of any
thing else for indigestion and bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Presentation or Heart Failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action OF the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses OF Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. Get

BLIZZARD SWEEPS WYOMING.
Heavy Loss of Sheep and Some Men
 Reported.

Rock Springs, Wyo., December 13. = A report from the Red Desert sheep range says that Charles Barnes, a herder, was frozen to death in the blizzard that has ragged for the past day or two. Barnes was from Garden City, Kas.
 The blizzard has 'scattered the herds in small punches all over the country and it is feared that the loss will be great. A Mexican herder whose name has not been learned is reported to have been frozen also.
 Cheyenne, Wyo., December 13-The blizzard raging throughout Southern Wy oming Is terrific. Everything is delayed from three to five hours and a blockade is imminent. Great distress is reported by sheep men of the Red Desert section and Southern Unita country. On the desert the losses will be large unless a break occurs within a few hours At Frewen, Sweet Water county a passen- ger train p1oughed through a bunch of sheep huddled in a cut to keep out of the wind, and over 800 of the animals are re- ported to have been killed. They were hurled in every direction and buried out of sight in drifts.

VENEZUELA NOW
 MAD WITH IL. s.
REPORT THAT THIS GOVERN MENT WOULD ALLOW GERMANY TO COLLECT HER DEBT CAUSES PAPERS TO CRlTIClsE IT.

Willemstad Island of Curacoa, Decem- Der 13, via Hayten Cable.-'rhere has been a halt in the exchange of communications between Germany and Venezuela owing to the publication in the newspapers of Caracas of cable dispatches from the United States setting forth that the gov ernment at Washington will not oppose any steps which Germany may take to en- force her rights in Venezuela, with the exception of preventing the annexation of Venezuelan territory.
 As a result the newspaper attacks on Germany have ceased, but the semi-of- ficial papers are now attacking the Uni ted States, saying that Washington in authorizing Germany to take action in her dispute with Venezuela looks upon the latter country as being part of the territory of the United States.
 It is believed here that Germany, at the end of the present month, will take steps to obtain due acknowledgement of her claims for s200O,000 from losses sustained by German citizens during the last revo- lution here and is allowed by Venezuela, who answered last year that Germany should present her claims before the spe- cial Venezuelan courts appointe ed to pass upon such matters. But Germany, the United States, Great Britain and France refused to appeal to these courts. Italy alone,' being bound by a former treaty, was obliged to present her claims to the Venezuelan courts. The claim of the Dis conto Bank, of Berlin, will probably be included in the claims presented by Ger many.
 The situation in Venezuela Is critical, and fears are expressed of general up- rising there.

London. December 1S-The Times finan- cial editor says that both Metropolitan and Metropolitan District Railway stocks rose considerably on the Stock Exchange on the announcement that the arbitrators had decided in favor of MT. Yerkes' plan for electrifying the Timer Circle.'
 The really important point. says the writer. was that a. decision of some kind be arrived at and speedily carried into execution. Any electrical system would be better than the present state of things. Now that the decision has been given In favor of the plan which most people believe to be the better of the two there is no doubt that the board of the Metropolitan Company (which favored the Gang system) will Loyalty accept if MT. Mellor. the newly-appointed chair. man of the Metropolitan. has pledged himself to that effect
 It is expected that the work of electr,. flying them will be begun within two months.

TO TREAT CHINESE
 MERCHANTS BETTER
MOVEMENT ON FOOT IN NEW YORK TO SECURE MORE LlB- ERAL TREATMENT FOR THEM. TO REOPEN MARKETS.

New York, December 13-A movement is taking shape among the export and import houses engaged in trade with China to secure a more liberal treat men for Chinese merchants and others visiting this country, under the new Chinese immigration law, says the Jour nal of Commerce.
 Silas D. Webb, president of the China and Japan Trading Company, who has resided in Shanghai for over fifteen years and who is thoroughly familiar with the conditions affecting the developments of American trade with the far East, in an interview said:
 ''The humliating restrictions which the Chinese exclusion act has placed on the entry of Chinese merchants, travellers and students into this country seem likely to undo all the advantage we gained through the friendly attitude of our government during the recent nego- tiations between the powers and China But for reopening of the Chinese mar kets and the resumption of the ordinary currents of trade at the beginning of this year, we should have had a very serious state of things in the great cotton indus tries of the United States.
 Half of the cotton mills of the South are absolutely dependent on the Chi nese consumer for the sale of their out put of cloth and in default of orders from China nothing could prevent de- structive competition between New Eng land and the south for possession of the home market. It would not be long be- fore our great iron and steel industries would have as well defined an interest in the Chinese market as the cotton textile industry already possesses, and care should be taken not to prejudice our Chinese customers against us."
