EVANS AT HONOLULU

Nicaragua has recognized the republic
of Panama by sending a consul TO the
city of Panama
William L. Merry, the United States
minister to Nicaragua, Costa Rica. and
Salvador, informed the State Depart
ment this morning by cable.
Although Nicaragua has not formally
recognized the independence of the new
republic, the appointment of a repre-
sentative to the capital Of the isthmian
republic is equivalent to such recogni-
ton.
Orders to Admiral Evans.
Orders have been issued to Admiral
Evans. in command of the cruiser and
battleship squadron at Honolulu, to re-
main there indefinitely. A few days ago
orders wer sent TO Admiral Evans to
return to the Asiatic station Immediate
" upon his arrival at Honolulu.
The change in orders is supposed to
have been brought about by the threat
ening attitude OF Colombia. The naval
force on the Pacific side of the isthmus
is not as strong as would be desired in
case Of war. and it is believed the
orders were sent TO Admiral Evans for

General Reyes is known win the gov

ward Panama.
The srief which General Reyes Is pre-
par'ne tc present to the State Depart-
ment, Is known to contain reference TO
the Colombian debt. for which bonds are
held by citizens OF Great Britain and
the Netherlands, and these govern
ments, ii is asserted, viii withhold recog-

control of the gun INTO the hands of
tn" people firing it. f. may we'll be
wondered that this has not always
been a controlling ilea in laying out
guns and their mounts. but at the
present time it is in this direction that
the greatest effort is being made The
proof of this is TO be seer by "A com

now being made. The latter are ar
ranged much more conveniently aud
consequently their rate of fire is much
faster. Modern G.inch guns are being
fred from ships eight or ten times in
a minute at targets about the size of a
ship and a mile distant, and hitting
the target at each shot. OF course,
doing this from a stable platform on
shore would be comparatively easy.
The projectile of these guns weighs 100
pounds, the powder charge about 40 to
30 pounds. and the weight of the gun,
including all the turning parts, is
25,OO0 pounds. This weight must be
moved, to keep the sights on the tar

it is of the greatest importance to lay

Filed an Answer.

The Southern Railroad has fled an
answer with the Interstate Commerce
Commission to the complaint made by
Gardner Clark, the fruit importers
Of Charleston and Lynchburg. in which
1t was alleged that the railroad had
oeen discriminating against them in the
matter OF rates. 1t was asserted that
the railroad charged only twenty cents
per hundred pounds to transport ba-
nanas to Richmond and that II charged
thirty-hve cents a hundred pounds To
carry them TO Lynchburg, a shorter haul
than to Richmond.
The railroad answered that II was act
Ing under the long and short haul cIause
The rate to Richmond was under the
long haul proviso. while that to Lynch
burg came under the short haul rule
The petition sets forth the fact that
the road could have charged fortv-fivs
cents for transporting the bananas 10
Lynchburg, and the maker Of the answer
interjected in the document that the
oihcers were sorry that they did nor
charge the higher rate.

DIRECT TREATMENT CURES CONSUMPTION


II is now generally recognized by the
medical profession that the most effec-
tive way to treat consumption is 10 at
tack the germs in their stronghold, the
lungs and air pipes.
The old way of swallowing medicine
into the stomach has been proven by
years Of experience TO be ineffective.
Dr. Edward Koch says: From my ex-
perience. covering many years. IN which
have personally treated thousands of
consumptives, l think l can safely say
that not one patient was ever cured of
genuine consumption by taking medicine
into the stomach"
Consumption is n terrible disease and
requires heroic treatment. The difficulty
heretofore has been 10 get at the seat OF
the disease. the breathing apparatus.
This is accomplished by the use Of the
Dr. Edward Koch Inhalation Apparatus
PHYSICIANS admit that the Koch "Tu-
berculine" kills the consumption poison
when brought in direct contact with the
germs themselves. The Koch Inhalation

Practically Rebuilt.

In the last five years the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad has practically been
rebuilt vast sums have been expended i'm
reducing grades, in eliminating curves.
in building cutoffs, By which many miles
have been saved. as, for instance. tAs
| Cumberland cutoff, which is now nearing
completion.
The extensive improvements that have
been undertaken on this property will
be realized by investors when they learn
that since 1886 over $1O1 200, 900 has been
spent on betterments and general i'm
provements.
The policy Of the management has
been to spend money in order to give
the road a greater earning power and TO
make it one of the greatest railway
systems in the world
| II is figured ont by officers of the road
that the amount of money which they
put into improvements will bring the
road return of at least u per cent.
Improvement work on the Baltimore
and Ohio permits a greater tonnage be-
/ ing moved at cheaper cost.
1t is reassuring for investors to know
that the properties in which they are
interested are controlled by capable and
intelligent men, who are using every
effort In their power to make the prop
critics the best in the land.
Under the receivers, when the Ralti-
more and Ohio was undergoing reorgan-

road physically and financially was
adopted, and this work was faithfully
performed by Mr.. Cowen and his asso-

Virginia Hot Springs, Sweet Springs and
the historical Green Briar White Sui

been one of the summer social centers
of the South. Before the era of rail-
roads the wealthy planters frequently
made the trip as far as from New
Orleans in the old-time coaches, spend
ing weeks on the road. The best blood
and brain of the manhood of the South
and the wit and beauty of the woman
hood were ever found at the Green Briar
during July and August. The same. con-
dition rules to-day. though the old coach
has given way TO the parlor cars of the
road represented by Mr.. Fuller Crowds
