COaChnan'S Story.
THE EXPERIENCE WHICH CAME
 TO THE M AN ON THE BOX.

TO THE MAN ON THE BOX.
 'It is hard life," said Austin Roe, a coachman, living at No. 20 West Lib erty street, Wilkesbarre, Pa., ''and it is no wonder when one Of us breaks down. For myself, the exposure and lack of sleep ran me down in health last winter till became shadow. Often times 1 had to take to my bed with fever running my temperature way up. had cold good part of the time, my head was always dizzy, my StOm- ach was out of order and my limbs stiff. grew thin, was tired out all the time and felt generally miserable.
 No, the doctor didn't seem to help me very much and I didn' t get any bet ter until, upon the advice of friend, ,>1 began using Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. The first box made me feel better and few more made me all right. Now l am strong and healthy again and 1 recommend Dr Williams to need a tonic.''
 The best tonic medicine in the world is pr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Mir Roe is only one out of thousands all over the world who have found this out by personal experience.

Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, soc box, or six boxes for $2. 50, by addressing Dr Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. They are never sold in bulk or by the hun. dred. Avoid limitations; substitutes never cured anybody.

Cause of Colombian oongress's Fail
 IIra to Rafifv Treaty

ure to Ratify Treaty.
 Washington, Dec. 19-President Roose- welt to-day transmitted to the House the third installment of papers relating to the recent revolution on the Isthm1s of Panama. The papers comprise the cor respondence between the State Depart ment and Minister Beaupre. relative to the Hay-Herran treaty. consisting of 120 letters and telegrams sent between March IS. and November IS, 1858
 April 15. Mir. Beaupre reviewed at length the feeling in Colombia toward the treaty. On its negotiation he said:
 T am convinced the republic had never expected better terms'
 In a later communication on the sub feet of adverse public opinion to the treaty. Mr. Beaupre says;
 ''It Is utterly impossible to convince these people that the Nicaragua route was ever seriously considered by the Unit ed States; that the negotiations concern ing it had any other motive than the squeezing of an advantageous bargain out of Colombia; nor that any other than the Panama route will ever be selected. q
 The public discussion. he says. was largely along the line of the loss of na- tional honor by the surrender of sover- eighty while private discussion was. to the effect that the price was inadequate.
 MT. Hay, May 30. asked whether there was any opposition from European sources. Mfr. Hay pronounces the situa- ton seemingly grave"
 June g, Mir. Hay sent to Mir. Beaupre this telegram:
 'AThe Colombian government apparently does not appreciate the gravity of the sit- uation. The canal negotiations were initl- ated by Colombia and were energetically pressed on this government for several years. The propositions presented by Co., lombia with slight notifications were fin- ally accepted by us. Tn view of this agree ment, our Congress reversed It's previous judgment. and decided upon the Panama route. If Colombia should now reject the treaty or undu1y delay It's ratification, the friendly understanding between the two countries would be so seriously com promised that action might be taken by Congress next winter which every friend of Colombia would regret"
 June 10, MT, Beaupre wrote that a de- cided effort was being made to change public opinion into more favorable con- alteration of the treaty. Mir. Beaupre said he had been informed by Mir. Mancini agent at Bogota of the Panama Canal Company, that he had been told ratifica- tion could be secured by payment of $10,- 900 from the canal company to the Colombian government.
 July s, Mir. Beaupre sent the following confidential telegram to Secretary Hay:
 Have received information privately
