and nature of the disease; but fortu-
nately for the cause OF suffering human.

phine or other drug habits can be cured
and guarantee an absolute, permanent
and painless cure to those addicted to
the use of drugs if they will take our
treatment and follow our instructions.

THERE is considerable talk Of probable
important pension legislation at the
next session Of Congress. The recon-
mendation Of the Grand Army of the
Republic for a service pension of $l2 a
month for all honorably discharged sol.
diers of the Rebellion, who served at
least three months, is meeting with con.
siderable favor in widely different sec.
tons OF the country. 1t is urged that
additional to being an act of justice and
generosity on the part Of the govern
ment toward the survivors Of the great
conflict, it would have the effect of
largely eliminating the mass Of special
pension legislation enacted by every
Congress. When it is considered that
entire armies endured in a single cam.
paign or single day what no man would
undertake for any amount of simple
cash consideration, it will be agreed
that the nation cannot do too much to-
ward tightening the closing days of the

DYNAMITED JAP
FISHING SbMPAN

About midnight last Wednesday Gus
tom House men on watctI heard a dull
report, the sound coming from the har-
Dor. A few hours later, the Waterman
on the Inter-Island wharf found the
shattered hulk of a large japanese
fishing sampan floating near the wharf.
and he made il fast. Investigation
showed that the inside of the craft had
been ripped and smashed by an ex-
plosion whic subsequently turned out
to have been done with dynamite On
Thursday the owner Kamamura,
claimed the wreck. From him it was
learned that the sampan had been
moored at the makai end of the channel
wharf as usual on Wednesday niSht.
but he had failed to sleep in it at that
time. Some one, probably an enemy,
had doubtless placed sticks of dyna-
mite in the craft. Just how the ex-
plosion was effected has not been
shown. The owners loss will be sew
era1 hundred dollars, as all his belong
ings, fishing tackle, crockery, food, etc,
had been stored in it. The matter is
being investigated by the police.

Acknowledgements at Baling, Lord Geo.
to milton, date Secretary of State for
: nntdia, has given for the first time his
4 ersion of the recent cabinet resigna-
ing on the last day of the Parliamenta-
ry session, Premier Balfour produced
program which included preferential
tariffs and the taxation of food. The
cabinet adjourned that day without
reaching a decision in the matter. 1t
met again on September IA and con-
tinued the same discussion. After this
meeting Lord Balfour, then Secretary
for Scotland, c. T. Richie, then Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, and he agreed
to. place their designations in the hands
of the Duke of DevonShire, the Lord
President of the council who would pre-
sent them with his own. 1t was not
until September 16 that Lord George
Hamilton learned of Colonial Secre
tary Chamberlain's resignation and
that the Duke of Devonshire had re-
tanned his office. He declared that
Premier Balfour had treated the mem
bers of the Cabinet, other than the
Duke of Devonshire, unfairly in COM
municating to the Duke the news he
withheld from the remainder of the
members. He said also that he could
have been willing to resign at any
time on the slightest suggestion from
Mr.. Balfour, but he resented the meth
cd in which the Free Trade members
had been busted from the cabinet.
With regard to the general fiscal po-
Icy Lord George Hamilton declared
himself a free trader with limitations
He said also that he believed thorough
ly in retaliation which would give the
country better chance for negotia-
ton of reciprocity treaties He thought
no member of the cabinet would have
resigned on such a proposition, but that
had not been the question presented to
them. The Speaker also expressed the
conviction that the present propagan-
da was protection pure and simple.
The fiscal campaign continues with
undated vigor. Among the speakers
last night were Sir Henry Campbell
Bannernnan and Sir Edward Grey, both
of whom said that protection would
result in an increase in the prices and
great hardship to the working classes
Sir Edward Grey urged the formation
of an imperial council with represen-
tatives from India, Crown and self
governing colonies empowered to ad-
wise the government on imperial af-
fairs and who would prevent the con-
verting of imperial into party ques-
tions
