hired boat at the hotel, going out
with fishing rod and tackle for the
purpose Of fishing. The boat, which
was in sight of the shore. was seen

the game will surely get their money :

This afternoon. there We're nearly three
eIeyens on the field for practice, which
was. on the whole. the most satisfactory
practice that the team has put up. this
season. During the last part of the af-
ternoon the second eleven and subs We're
lined up against the Varsity for a short
practice game in which the playing was
harder and more satisfactory than the
team has got from many practice games
which have been heretofore scheduled.
After the game the men were sent around
the track for a short run before return
ing to the gym.
Coach Robinson made some changes in
the Varsity this afternoon, which will
doubtless strengthen the team materi-
ally. Lreaued was tried at left guard

playing right guard, played left tackle;
Collins replaced F'innegan at left end

THE day was when men of promi-
 hence hesitated to give their testi-
 monials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true to- day of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly fam ous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna.
 The highest men in our nation have given Peruna a strong endol sement. Men representing all classes and sta tions are equally represented.
 A dignified representative of the Pres byterian church in the person of Rev. B. G. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church.
 Rev. E. C.. Smith, pastor of the Presby- terian church of Greens boro, Ga. writes:
 "Having used Peruna in my family for some time it gives me pleasure to testify to it's true worth.
 My little boy seven years of age had been suffering for some time with ca tarrh of the lower bowels. Other reme- dies had failed, but after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en- tirely disappeared. For this special maladv I consider it well nigh aspecific

 Mir. M. J. Rossman, a prominent mer- chant of Greensboro. Ga, and an elder in the Presbyterian church of that place, has used Peruna, and in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,, of Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
 For long time Twas troubled with catarrh of the kidneys and tried many remedies, all of which gave me no re- lief. Peruna was recommended to me by several friends, and after using a few bottles I am pleased to say thatthe long looked for relief was found and / am now enjoying better health fhan Ihave for years, and can heartily recOmnen nd Peruna to all similarly afflicted. 1T is certainly q grand medicine.

 Catarrh is essentially the same where ever located. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

STATEMENT BY PAYNE.
Republican Leader Declares We Must
Do Something, for Cuba.

Washington, March 7.-Chairman
Payne of the house ways and means
committee has made a statement re-
garding the Cuban situation in which
he reviews the three propositions
pending. He also says the majority
of Republicans think something ought
to be done for Cuba. In the statement
he says:
MANY misleading statements as to
the attitude of the president, the cabi-
net and the house Republicans are ap-
pearing in the newspapers. I cannot
speak of conferences with the presi-
dent. But have every assurance that
the cabinet is not divided on this ques-
ton, nor has a majority of the house
Republicans committed themselves eli
ther to the Morris, the Tawney, or the
do-nothing policy"
Mr.. Payne also says that to grant a
20 per cent reduction will prevent an
nexation of Cuba for many years, and
annexation will mean free trade. He
closes his statement by saying:
ITO refuse to do anything would put
the house in position of hostility to
the president, would cause uncertainty
and feeling of apprehension to the
producers of sugar in the states and
would be utterly demoralizing.''

Washington, March THE Spanish
treaty claims commission has handed
down a decision against the claimants
for deaths and injuries received by Of
fcers and seamen IN the wreck of the
battleship Maine in Havana harbor.
I. The commission holds that 4indiyid-
ual claims of citizens of one nation
may arise against the government of
another nation for redress Of injuries
to persons or PROPERTY, which such cit
liens may have sustained from such
government or any of it's agents. But
such individual claims do not arise in
favor of the officers and seamen of a
ship of war, who receive, in the line
of duty, injuries to their persons for
which foreign government is res
ponsible. The claim against the for
eign government is wholly national
and all injuries to such officers and
seamen are merged in the national in
jury; and they can look only to their
own government for such remunera
tion as it may choose to give them
A seaman injured by the explosion
which destroyed the battleship Maine
d 2 . g. E 81
in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, on
Feb. Is, 1898, had no individual claims
against Spain, even if that government
was responsible to the United States
for the explosion, and therefore such
seaman is not entitled to an award
in his favor from the Spanish treaty
claims commission organized by the
act of congress OF March 2, 1901, to
adjudicate all individual claims of cit
liens of the United States against
Spain which the United States re-
leased to Spain and agreed to pay by
the treaty OF peace of Dec. 10, 1885,"
The claims so far filed with the com
mission which will be affected by this
decision amount to about s2,500,000,
which probably would be increased to
$5,000,0O0 had the decision been favor
able to the claimants.

WILL BE FILED At ST. PAUL
Government Bill Against Merger About
Completed.

( SSttlP PiSSOOs ...-
Washington, March lit is report
ed that the department of justice this
week will file it's bill of complaint
against the promoters of the Mime
sofa railroad merger.
It seems definitely settled that the
bill will be presented to the court of
the judicial district sitting in st. Paul.
Attorney General Knox has just re-
turned from New York and it is under
stood that he has completed the bill.
In addition to this complaint it is
said that one of the chief points to be
brought out in the suit is the legal diff
ference between an Industrial monop-
oily or combination controlling produc
ti0n and monopoly with respect to
commerce between the states. Indus
trial trusts, it is asserted, operate le-
gally against the force of the decision
rendered in 1895 by the supreme court
in the case of the United States
against Knight. In this decision the
court held that the control of produc.
tion was not an actional issue. Legal
officers Of the administration who are
sanguine as to the outcome of the gov
ernment's contentious, say that it is
specially provided for in the Constitu-
tion that the national government
shall have jurisdiction over interstate
commerce.

Warm Welcome to the Prince by the
Mayor and Other Officials in
City of Boston.
Prince is introduced to Joint Session
Of the legislature by Gov
ernor Crane.

Monongahela, Pa, March 7.-Anoth.
er explosion occurred shortly before
noon in the Catsburg mine and two
men were seriously burned. Many
other men are reported entombed in
the mine, which is burning furiously,
and it is feared that all are dead. A
rescuing party is trying to fight it's
way into the mine.
From what can be learned, John Ha-
ger, a machinist, went into the mine
at noon or shortly before it, and placed
his safety lamp in one of the room en-
frances. At least score OF men were
with him, and just as Hager put the
lamp in the opening a terrific explo-
sion followed. All the men were
knocked down by the force of the ex-
plosion and many of them rendered in
sensible. Hager was stunned for a
minute, but as soon as he regained con
sciousness, he crawled over the pros
trate forms of the men and succeeded
in getting to the mouth. He was fol
lowed by James Turnan. Both men
were horribly burned about the face
and hands.
Despite the fact that Hager was suf-
fering intense pain he crawled back
into the mine and tried to rouse the
workmen, who
Were Piled on the Floor,
but without success. He then went
back to the opening and was taken in
charge by physician. Turnan and he
were removed to their homes.
The party was on it's way to work
when the accident occurred, but no per
son seems to know how many men
were in the gang. Different reports
have reached here and some of them
give the number as low as 10 while 9th
ers have them up TO 80. The pit open
ing is mass of flames but the rescu
ing party is trying to battle against
it and get in to the imprisoned men.
The Catsburg mine has had severa
explosions recently. The first of these
occurred last week, and since then
some smaller ones have occurred, but
none of them resulted as seriously as
this one. The mine had been boxed ur
but was opened in hopes that the gas
had all been pumped out and all the
miners used safety lamps in going in
The gas was too much for the lamps,
however. and it is feared that many OF
the men have either been killed or
will be burned to death before the res
cuing party can reach them.
The greatest excitement prevails
here as many of the miners are we'll
known in this place and many reside
here.
