kidney trouble.
 Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble. because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
 It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ming in kidney trouble.

HITCH IN NEGOTIATIONS.
England Not Disposed to Grant the
Boer Demands.

London, April 1.-THE Daily Mail in
it's issue of this morning says it under
stands a serious hitch has occurred in
the peace negotiations in South Africa.
The cabinet council has decided to re-
fuse strongly worded request from
the Boer leaders at Pretoria for an
armistice pending the negotiations.
This alone is not likely to cause the
Beers to withdraw from the conference,
says the Daily Mail, but what threat
ems to stop the negotiations is the fact
that the government declines to place
the later Cape rebels upon the same
footing as the burghers with respect to
amnesty and is not inclined to with
draw the Punishment proclamation
These features are regarded by the
Beers as two cardinal points in the ir-
reducible minimum of terms, which
Lord Miner went to Pretoria to ascer-
tain and in return for which the Beers
agree to the loss of independence and
| Il general surrender.
Their other demands, continues the
Daily Mail, are that Great Britain shall
rebuild and restock the farms, take
/ over the legal claims and liabilities of
4 the two republics and grant a repre-
sentative government within a shorter
I period than is now contemplated

AN ASSASSIN'S SHOT
Ends Life of Minister of Interior 81.
piaguine at ST. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg. April 15.-The minis
ter Of interior. NJ. Sipiaguine, was shot
at and fatally wounded, at l o'clock
this afternoon. in the lobby of the min
isterial offices by a man who held a
pistol close to the minister's person.
The wounded man died at 2 p. NJ.
NJ. Sipiaguine had just entered the
office of the imperial council when the
assassin. who had driven up in a car
riage, approached and handed him a
folded paper. saying he had been
charged to deliver it by the Grand
Duke Sergius. The minister stretched
out his hand to take the document,
when the assassin fired five shots at
him. Three of the bullets struck M.
Sipaguine and one wounded his SER
want.
The assassin did not resist arrest.
He said his name was Balschauett, that
he was a student at Kieff. where he
had been sentenced to compulsory mill
tary service for participating in the
riots of 1901. He said he subsequently
had been pardoned, but that he had
not been reinstated at the university
and he therefore revenged himself on
NJ. Sipia guine. The minister was taken
to the hospital, where he died in one
hour.

frovident Savings Life Assurance So
ciety Loses Important Case.

Boston. April 15.-The Provident Saw
ings Life Assurance Society of New York
whose case was recently presented to thu
supreme court by T. B. Reed in action
against Insurance Commissioner Cutting
of Massachusetts,, Loses by a decision of
the full bench handed down, today. The
finding is considered of greaf Importance,
as the petition for writ of mandamuS to
compel the commissioner to change his
valuation of the outstanding policies of
the petitioner. so as TO diminish the re
serve liability for which is must have as
sets to meet the requirements of MasSa-
chusetts law, is dismissed.
The complaint against the commissioner
was that in applying the rule of compute
ton prescribed by the statute to a GER
tain class of policies issued by the petit
toner he made n mistake in holding tina t
for the purpose of aScertaining their re-
serve value they were to be treated as
being, from their inception, policies for
life or for an endowment period and not
as policies for one year only. with an
option in the assured to continue them
in force at the end of the year without u
further physical examination and with
out an increase of premium on account
of his greater age.
The court holds that the decision of the
insurance commissioner is final on all
matters OF law and fact and cannot be
reviewed by the courts on a petition for
a writ Of nandamuS SO long as the insur-
ance commissioner acts in good faith and
with an intent to obey the law.

CAPSIZED BY SQUALL.
Sixteen Fishermen Have Narrow Es.
cape off Halifax Harbor.

Halifax, n. s., April 15.-The Nova SEQ
tia fishing schooner Pearl Evelyn was
capsiZed, 9 miles off Halifax harbor, this
afternoon, and Captain Zimmerman and
crew of Is men were thrown struggling
into the water. The schooner had all
sails set and was beating towards the
entrance of the harbor when a sudden
squall from the northwest struck her
and before the sails could be reduced she
went over.
All hands We're on deck at the time and
they were precipitated into the water
Some of the crew became entangled in
the rigging and sails and they had a
thrilling experience for a few moments.
The vessel, however. floated on her side
and the men managed to cling to her I'M
til assistance came.
The accident was witnessed by four
fishermen who were on the shore at Her
ring Cove and they quickly manned their
boats and rowed out but before they
reached the vessel and small schooner
from Sambro bore down on her and took
the crew off.
The steamer Aid, which was working at
the wreck of the steamer Grecian went
out and took the capsiZed craft in tow
and held onto her until another tug was
sent down from the city. At 10 O'clock
tonight, the tugs with their tow were }
miles from the city. The Pearl Evelyn
is schooner of 10 tons and was bound
from La Havre to Halifax to fit out for a
fishing trip to the Banks.
