Mrs. Mckinley Is Pronounced
Out of All Present Danger.

Washington, June 1s-Drs. Johnston
and Rixey held a consultation at the
White House this forenoon. at the con-
clusion of which DR.. Johnston pronounced
Mrs. Mckinley out of danger and con-
valescing. He said there may. of course,
be a recurrence of her trouble. but for
the present the danger is past. It is ex-
pected that President and Mrs. Mckinley
will be able to leave for Canton by
July J.
DR.. Johnston said that the blood in
lection had disappeared entirely.
DIR. Rixey, although evidently en-
couraged by the Improvement in Mrs.
McKinley's condition, was somewhat
more conservative in his statement
than DR. Johnston
He thought it scarcely safe to say
that she was entirely out of danger, as
her extreme weakness might precipi-
tate relapse, but her condition was
quite satisfactory, her Improvement be-
ing steady and seemingly certain of
continuance.

PHILADELPHIA Works.

New York, June 1s.-Aceording to a
Philadelphia special to the Times, the
latest story in connection with the dis
position of the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany is that Vickers Sons and Maxim
Will get the big plant after all. While
it is acknowledged that Charles NJ
SchWab secured control recently by
buying 100000 of the 100000 shares of

has resold this interest to the Vickers
people, who want it for their ship
building and steel making combina-
ton.
This, it IS believed, Will be the next
development when President Under
man issues a statement to stockholders
giving the terms of the sale to Mr..
Schwab and clearing up some of the
mystery which has surrounded the ne
gotiations. The stockholders of the
Bethlehem Iron company win then be
called together on August Is to vote or

the Bethlehem Steel company, whose
stockholders, the next day, viii vote on
an authorized issue of 81. 500 600 in bonds

and Lord Strathcona were the principal
speakers at the annual banquet of the

Replying to the toast of 1.-The Imperial

way that the worst thing that could hap

as the lingo feeling. Expenditure on the
forces of the crown should not be for
conquest or oppression. Lord StrathcOna,
who presided over the banquet, in pro-
posing 1.-The Colonial Club referred in
felicitous terms to the attachment of the
people in the colonies to the institution
of the mother country. The colonists
knew, he said, that in fighting. to help
England, they were fighting for their
own best interests. The Canadian high
commissioner was highly cheered.

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES.
They Are Brought About by Change
in Classification.

New York. June 18.-The Journal of
Commerce says: After July l shippers
of dry goods or, more strictly speaking,
cotton fabrics, viii have to pay higher
freight rates to and from all points
reached by the southern railroads. This
news will be received with much sur
prise, in view of the fact that only
few days ago the southern classical
ton committee promulgated a new
schedule containing many changes from
the former classification. which took
effect Monday The most important
change. so far as dry goods interests
are concerned, was the new provision
relative to shipments of cotton fabrics.
Under this provision all such goods
were to be shipped at fifth class rates.
Without any warning, however, the
southern roads, through their classifica-
ton committee, have issued a ruling to
the effect that on and after the first
of next month, all such goods must
be rated at fourth class, or in other
words one whole class higher than at
present. The freight rate, on the basis
of a haul from New York to Atlanta
fourth class and so cents on fifth class
The difference between fourth class and
fifth class rates to other southern points
is about the same.
Dry goods interests have feared that
the southern railroads if the latter
granted their requests to make
change in the classification of cotton
fabrics, would advance the rate by
placing these goods in a higher class.
When the new classification was is
goods in fifth class as desired by ship
perS, it was thought the matter was
settled The fact that the southern rail-
roads have made this change has been

tation bureau

Completely Cured of Catarrh by
Peruna, General Health
Also Improved.

Miss Ida Murray writes from 1887 Polk
street. Minneapolis, Mimi, as follows.
II had chronic catarrh of the head
which made the slightest cold SO much
worse. 7 am completely cured Of my
catarrh after four months faithful use
of Peruna, and my general health is
greatly improved I always speak a
good word for Peruna. Ida Murray
Hiss Anna Bryan, a favorite cousin
of William Jennings Bryan, writes
from 1850 Florida avenue. Washing
ton. d. C.:
ssAt the solicitation of q friend I
began some weeks ago to take your
Peruna and ! now feel like a new per-
son. ] take pleasure in recommending
il TO all who want a good tonic, and
a permanent cure for catarrh. p
Anna Bryan.
Catarrh Generally Thought to Be q
Disease of the Head Only.
Wherever there is a mucous mem
brane then catarrh may exist
The only reason that catarrh is more
frequent in the passages of the nose
and throat is because these passages
are more exposed to cold than the other
portions of the mucous membrane But
one is liable to have catarrh of the
lungs, or kidneys, or stomach, or liver,
or bowels, and especially the bladder
and other pelvic organs.
Peruna is a specific in cases of fe-
male weakness or pelvic catarrh and is
heartily endorsed by all the women.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna.
