The quickest relief for a
cold is by SCOTS emulsion of
cod-liver oil.
You will find the edge taken
off in a night; and, ia three or
four days, you'll be wondering
whether that cold amounted to
anything anyhow.
That's relief. If you tackle
it quick. the relief is quick; if
you wait, the relief won't
come-you know how colds
hang on.

New Sharon Star: "When the
great storm and food swept the city
of Galveston with destruction and
filed her streets with her dead, ap-
peals for aid were sent out by differ
ent organizations that were facing
extreme conditions. Among them
the Odd Fellows. The lodge in this
city sent them So, and stood ready
to send more if it was asked for. No
thing more was heard from them un-
til last week when a draft for S2.46
was received with the explanation
that donations had been so numer'
our that not all was needed, and that
when a prorata balance was struck
the lodge in New Sharon was entitled
to the amount as stated above. Here
was a splendid practical exhibition
of what more than royal benevelence
which links human hearts in brother
hood, that relieves distress, binds uI
wounds and cares for the widow and
fatherIess, and yet there are those who
scoff at secret societies, that de
nounce them as useless. The ignor
. ance of such people, if excusable al
all, would be pitiable. "

KAISER CAUSES AMAZEMENl I
HINTS AT POSSIBLE RETOLUTTON
 IN SPEECH TO TROOPS.
Tells the Alexander Regiment They Must be Ready Day and Night to Pros tcct Him Recent Attack on Him Be- lieved to Have Ahrected His Attitude Toward the German People.

Berlin, March 2S-Emperor William, during the course of a speech he made to the Alexander regiment in the court yard of the barracks to-day said, ac- cording to the Kreuz Zeitung, that they must be ready day and night to act as the body guard of fheir king and give their life for the enaperor and his house.
 Calling to mind the events of 1S4S, his majesty said that if such days should come again the regiment would cer- tainly repress all insubordination and misconduct against the king.
 Amusement Is everywhere expressed at the emperor's strong hints of a pos sible revolutionary rising and of street fights with the troops Well-informed circles see in his majesty's deliverance further proof that the attack upon him by Weiland at Bremen has very seri- ousy1 affected his views and attitude toward the German people,
 The versions of the speech differ widely. A number of the papers this evening do not print a word of it, and these include the entire eemi-ofTical press.

FUNSTON'S OWN STORY.
His Party Suffered for Food-A Long
 and Dangerous March.

Manila, March 2S-General Fred Funston, who on March 23 captured General Emilio Aguinaldo, when inter- viewed to-day by the representative of The Associated Press, made the follow ing statement concerning the capture of the Filipino leader:
 "The confidential agent of Aguinaldo arrived February 2S at Pantabangan, in the province of Neuva Ecija, northern Luzon, with letters dated January H., 12 and IA. These letters were from Emilio Aguinaldo, and directed Balder- mero Aguinaldo to take command of the provinces of central Luzon, SUD- planting General Alejandrino. Emilio Aguinaldo also ordered that four hun dred men be sent him as soon as pos sible, saying that the bearer of the let ters would guide these men where Aguinaldo was. General Funston Se- cured the correspondence of Aguinal- dos agent and laid his plans accord ingly. Some months previously he had captured the camp of the insurgent General Lacuna, incidentally obtaining Lucuna's seal, official papers and a quantity of signed correspondence.

Germany Pledged by Hundred Docu-

 London, March 29.-On the third read- ing of the appropriation bill in the House of Commons to-day discussion of Chinese affairs was raised and Lord Cranborne referred members to Lord Lansdowne's statement in the House of Lords. He added: Germany is pledged to the maintenance of Chinese integrity by a hundred other docu- ments besides the Anglo German agree ment. No one regrets the mystery sur rounding the Russo Chinese convention more than the government. The gov- ernment has given Russia to under stand that any cession of territory to any individual power would be disap- proved by Great Britain and indeed this is the policy of Germany and of the other powers. The government has also informed China that any such surrender of territory would be disap- proved"

 Not Yet Completed.
 A report was current last evening that sale of the bankrupt National Manufacturing company, of Milford, formerly of this city, had been effected with parties from New York. A report CT of this paper who had called upon MT. Galpin, president of the New Ha- ven Clock company, who is the receiver of the electric concern, to verify the re- port, was informed by him that al- though negotiations are pending, there has been no sale effected yet. There have been parties from New York lock- ing over the plant, and it is expected that a satisfactory sale will be made soon. The only hitch in the negotia- tions Is in relation to the rental of the building in which the plant Is located. The lease on the building expires on the first day of next May, and as it Is the property of the Consolidated road the negotiators were desirous of know ing whether they could arrange for an extended lease of the premises. As the renting agent was away yesterday no arrangements could be made. It is very probable that the industry will be saved to Connecticut.

cerned. The British minister at Pekin had been instructed to be moderate in his demands, and the government only desired to strengthen the guards suffi- ciently to insure the safety of the lega- tions. In regard to the question of in- demnity now under discussion it had been decided that the claims should be forwarded by the powers in one lot. As to the source whence the indemnity should be paid, it was not desired to impose on China and crushing burden. By doing so would be acting contrary to the policy of the British government, which was to respect the existence of China as a power. He did not despair of seeing China reformed The people possessed many good qualities.

BEFORE JUDiCIARY COMMITTEE,
Another Hearing on the Chamber of
 Commerce Bill Yesterday.

Commerce Bill Yesterday,
 The chamber of commerce assessmen bill yesterday afternoon came up be- fore the judiciary committee in Hart ford for an additional hearing. A large
 number of New Haven gentlemen were
 before the committee to speak pro and
 con upon the measure. The following 1 gentlemen appeared to speak in favor
 of the bill: Governor James D
 Dewell, General Edward E. Bradley
 president of the chamber of commerce;
 Clifford I. stoddard, president of the
 board of councilmen; Clarence Dem- ing, Joseph T. Whittlesey, Councilman Sidney H. Dawson and Councilman | Harrison Hewitt.
 After these gentlemen had spoken those who were present favoring the bill were requested to rise and they did so those rising being in addition to those already mentioned, A. McClel- Ian Mathewson, Henry c. Rowe, Colo mel I. M. Ullman, William A. Wood ward, William s. Mills, Clinton I. Bird, General George H. Ford and Samuel Street. The following New Haven gen. tlemen were present and spoke in op- position to the bill: Colonel N c. Os- born, Judge Robertson, William True man, Attorney George w. Wallace and John T. Sloan.
 Henry c. Rowe, one of the most prominent advocates of the bill, was asked if he desired to be heard further on she bill. MT. Rowe said that it had been represented that at the meeting of the chamber of commerce, when the bill was endorsed, only a few members of the chamber were present. He called attention to the fact that when the bill came before the chamber for discuss sion there were a large number of speakers at that meeting and that they occupied so much time that when the bill came to vote in the chamber so many members had become tired by the long speeches that they had gone home. Tre asked the committee to consider the length of the speeches of the gentlemen who had appeared before the committee to speak against the bill and thought that then they could realize why the members of the chamber had become tired and gone home. By the time the arguments were finished all but two members of the committee had gone, and MT. Rowe said that if he was to close the argument for the bill he would like to have opportunity to do so when the entire committee was present, as when the opponents of the bill spoke. The committee decided to give him quarters of an hour in which to make his argument this afternoon.

NO MORE TERMS FOR BOERS
CHIMBERLAIN'S PLAIN STATE
 MENT TO THE COMMONS.
Declares Government Cannot Afford to show Again That it Paid Better to be n Rebel Than n Loyaiist st-Better Ter ms Than Were Offered Would Not be Magnanimity but Folly.

London, March 2S.-The statement of ! MT. Chamberlain, the colonial secre- tary, in the house of commons to-day, that the government had printed all it knew about the Botha- Kitchener peace negotiations and that nothing had transpired since, caused James Bryce, liberal, to analyze the terms offered. He contrasted General Kitchener's first views with the final letter incorporating Mr. Chamberlain's suggestions and ex- pressed the hope that the government would reopen the negotiations
 MT. Chamberlain replied that to offer better terms would not be magnanimity but folly. The government could not afford to show again that it paid bet ter to be a rebel than loyalist. The Cape rebels, as rule, had been worse than the Boers.
 Mir Balfour, the government leader, in response to a question put by Sir Robert Reid, liberal, announced the governments refusal to permit Messrs. Merriman and Sauer to address the house. Messrs. Merriman and Sauer, re- spectively eX-treasurer and ex-com- missioner of public works of Cape Col ony, asked for permission to address the house with respect to the peace set clement and especially against the es- tablishment of a crown colony form of government in South Africa.

WOULD REWARD AGUINALDO
PRES. SCHURMAN JHINKS 4 coy
 ERNORSHIP APPROPRIATE.
Head of Former Philippine Commis- sion Says That in Any Event There Should be Amnesty for tho Past. Hearty Cooperation Between Amerl- z cans and Filipinos Now the Thing.

!! Ithaca, N. Y. March 2s.-President Schurmann, of Cornell university, said
 to-day: Our object is good govern
 ment in the Philippines. We seek no
 punishment no vengeance. We have
 already used a considerable number of
 men who had been active in Aguinal- dos government or army to aid in car
 rying on the work of pacification and
 government. Now Aguinaldo has shown that he possesses administrative gifts
 of high order. and just as soon as he follows his late colleagues in taking the
 oath of allegiance and accepting Amer
 ican sovereignty we should utilize his
 gifts in fulflllment of our task of gov-
 erning the archipelago.
 q should think it highly appropriate
 to appoint him governor of Cavite, Bu-
 lucan or some other Tagalog province.
 In any event, there should be amnesty
 for the past and a new departure in
 the direction of hearty cooperation be-
 tween the American and Filipinos,
 which, by direction of President Me-
 Kinley, it was part of the business of | the commission over which 1 had the | honor to preside to announce, promote and cultivate. To use Aguinaldo just as soon as he accepted the oath of office in carrying out the programme of self government would be the most import ant step in the direction of the policy of cooperation and an impressive i- lustration of it. That way lies the so- lution of our Philippine problem" MT. Schurmann was at the head of the former Philippine commission.
 Washington, March 28.-The war de- partment has not had time as yet to consider the exact status of Aguinaldo, whether he is to be tried and what pun ishment, if any, is to be meted out to him. But there are certain general principles which are said to be clearly established and the first question asked is as to whether Aguinaldo is to be tried as military or as a civil offender. If he is to be regarded as having con- mitted reasonable acts, or fomented an instruction against the United States government, then the trial would be of a civil character, for these are political offenses against the authority of the United States government and are not offenses under the articles of war to be tried by military court martial or commission It is hardly expected that the rigorous procedure for treason would be adopted. It is presumed that Aguinaldo will be held, for the present at least as military prisoner. If tried as such it would be because he had of- tended against some of the articles of war
 This article of war bearing on the subject shows that the warfare in the Philippines has not given Aguinaldo eucn a strict military status as to re- lieve him from the higher and graver civil offense Of high treason. At the same tine there is little belief that this of[ense will be charged, the idea being | that he will be held as a prisoner with | out any definite determination of his 1 status, and perhaps in time be granted l on condition that he leave the 1

He enters q strong protest against any form of protective duties, which he declares would be suicidal He says he believes the growth of trusts will bring a reaction ill the Unit ed States in favor of free trade and that English manufacturers should de- vote their attempts to securing a reduc- tion of the excessive railway freight charges and the heavy royalties on mining, and to technical education and similar undertakings as the best way to meet American competition.

Frankfort Ky, March 2S.-The court of appeals day granted new trials to Caleb Powers and James Howard sen tenced in the lower court to life inn prisonment and death respectively, in connection with the shooting in Febru- ary, 1900, of Governor William Goebel. In the Howard case the entire court concurred, but Tn the Powers decision Judges Hobson, Painter and White dis santed. The decision in the Powers case holds the Taylor pardon invalid, but orders a new trial on the ground of erroneous instructions to the jury, and admission of incompetent testlmo- ny. The Howard case is reversed be- cause of erroneous instructions, incom- petent evidence admitted in the trial and other minor points.
