NO REPLY HAS BEEN

The officials Of the foreign Office say
that the reply to Venezucla's arbitration
proposal has not been sent. The foreign
Office still is expressing views on the sub
ject with London. Although the foreign
Office does not give the least hint Of the
character Of Gcrmany's reply, il seems
certain that arbitration will not be ac-
cepted, although the refusal may be ac-
companed by fresh suggestions.

Seven years ago the State Of Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute Of Chicago charter.
There was need OF something above the ordi-
nary method OF treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any ono specialist or any
number of specialists acting independently
could do, so tho State Itself, under tho powers
granted II by its general laws, gave the power TO
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since its establishment this Institute has
endeayored In every possible way to carry ous
the original purposes Of its establishment under
the bencficient laws OF the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity In the treatment
OF certain phases of disease. created under the
superintendent Of its staff of specialists an
electric belt. and this belt has been proved TO be
Of great value as a curative agent. From TING
10 time IL has been improved until It reached
that stage of perfection which warranted Its
present name Of Supreme"
This belt the most effective OF all agents In the
cure of rheumatism, lumhago, lane back, nery-
Gus exhaustion, weakened or lost vital functions,
yaricocele, kidney disorders and many other
complaints.
This "Supreme Electric Belt" IS made In ons
grade only-IOO guage-there is no better electric
belt made and no better belt can be made.

Belts II Is not sent on trial, It is yours to keep

out no more utter despair and CONSERVATION
would have ensued. Men looked at each
other as if they had just heard sentence
of death passed upon all. The effect of
the news upon the infantry was to cause
an entire disorganization. Crowds of them
threw down their arms and left, and those
who remained lost all sense of discipline.
On the following day Gen. Echols called
his leading officers around him, announced
that he intended taking all the men who
would follow him and endeayOr to join
Gen. Joe Johnston. When he inquired OF
his officers concerning the temper of the
men, the infantry officers declared that
their men would not go and that it would
be futile to attempt coercion.
Gen. Echols then issued an order fur
loughing the infantry soldiers for 60 days.
He believed that this method would Sc
cure many to the Confederacy, at the
end of that time, if the war should be still
going on, while to attempt to force them
to follow him would not only be unavail-

About March 20, 1865, we were ordered

Finally, Gen. Brcckinridge arrived at

account OF the Sherman and Johnston
agreement. Two days later, however,
Gen. Johnston teegraphed that the author

the armistice was declared off, and that
he was preparing to, surrender. The intel

At Unionville, Gen. Duke found Col.

had been able to save from being cap

Duke pushed on toward Lincolnton,
where he expected to find Col Napier with
the horses belonging to his brigade.
Vaughn marched to MOrgantown south
of the Catawba River.
Soon after Duke had crossed the Ca
tawba he received information that n part
of StOneman's cavalry was marching from
the west in the same direction. He hoped,
however. by moving rapidly, to reach Lin

moving upon roads nearly parallel and not
far apart. Scouting parties met, during
the afternoon, on some of the by-rOads

When he was within two miles of Lin
