AMERICAN COMPETITION.
It Is Working Havoc in the Iron
Trade of England.

New York. Feb. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The depression in the British iron and
steel trades formed the keynote of the
Duke Of Devonshire's address to the
shareholders Of the Furness railway
over which he presides.
He attributed the present condition of
affairs to the keen American COMPETE
ton and expressed the opinion especially
in regard to steel rails that the competi-
ton would become even more acute and
that further depression in the home in
E'urness in proposing at Newcastle that
the famous Stephenson works should
have bigger accommodation, mentioned
as his reason the fact that the American
locomotive trade had increased $50 per
cent while England's trade had de-
creased rs per cent.

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Adviee Of q Famous Physician.

First and foremost REST.
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
have it. If the attack is severe, go to
bed and remain there. More fatali-
ties result from neglect of this pre-
caution than from any other cause.
Eat sparing1y. Your digestive or
gans are in no condition to take care
Of large quantities of food.
Drink plenty Of pure, cold water.
1t allays the fever, stimulates the kid
neys to action and opens up the pores
of the skin. Keep the bowels open
with DR.. Miles, Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses of DR.. Miles, Merry
inc per day, and if you cannot sleep
take an extra dose at bed time. To
further control the fever, and to over
come the peculiar aches and pains of
grip, use DR.. Miles, Pain Pills. They
act quickly and effectually, and no bad
effects result from their use. These
remedies have been thoroughly tested
more than million times, and their
efficiency is thoroughly established.
They never fail to give relief.
DR.. Miles Remedies can be found
at any drug store, and they are sold on
a positive guarantee that first bottle
or package benefits or money re-
funded.

AMERICAN AID
Has Been Valuable to England in
War Against the Beers.


New York Feb. GA World dispatch
from London says:
Sir Charles Dixie replying to a qaes-
ton as to whether Americas permission
to England to obtain supplies Of horses
for use in South Africa was a breach
of neutrality said:
1t IS no breach Of neutrality, but it is
perfectly competent to any government
to refuse to allow horses to be exported
without committing an unfriend1y act.
some countries never permit the export
Of horses for war purposes-Turkey for
instance Others like Austria Hungary
have law against it, but where they
are friendly disposed toward either OF
the bell1gerants such countries OCCASION
ally wink at a breach of this law. AUS
tria-HUngary has allowed US to export
horses to South Africa and there is no
breach of neutrality involved. It is a
case OF catch me if you can. There are
plenty Of presidents forrefusing to allow
horses to be exported for war purposes

OF the house of commons who disapproye
of the governments South African policy
were seen by the World correspondent

they regard as unfair to the Beers would
not speak for publication One prom

able thing that the great American re-
public should aid this great monarchica1
empire in crushing these little South
African republics by supplying England
with horses We can get no horses from

Washington. Feb. N-The answer Of
the state department to the house reso-
luton calling for a statement of its rea-
sons for allowing its transports to be
used for forwarding American horses
and other supplies to the British army
by the Beers, will point to the well es-
tablished section of international law
warranting neutral nations in selling
supplies to belligerents, though these
supplies may properly be seized by
belligerent. It also will be shown that
no obstacle was interposed by the United
States government to the purchase OF
horses and mules by the Beers who pre-
sumably did not do so because they were
unable to land them in South africa.

GRAVEL CARRIES GOLD.
Increased Values Found in the Blu
ford Product.

Cheyenne. yvyo-. Aug 13.-It IS repor-
ted that the discovery has been made
at Buford that the gravel from the IN
ion Pacific pits carries enough gold to
pay for extraction. For several years
It has been a recognized fact that ev-
cry carload of gravel taken from the
Sherman pits contained about $50
worth Of fine gold dust. or about rs
cents TO the ton An attempt at ex-
traction proved that the values could
not be saved at a profit. and the use Of
the gravel as q filter and ballast was
continued
The sherman pits were abandoned
some time ago. however. and new era
vel deposits opened up several miles
southeast. where the character OF the
gravel was better The Buford gravel
IS now being used as ballast on the
Wyoming division of the Union Pacific.
ard IL Is not thought that the discov-
cry Of the increased gold values will
have any effect with the railroad com
pany.as the gold profit would be small
er than the value Of the gravel as a
ballast.
