little, if any relief, when a neigh

berlain's collie, cholera, and diar-
rheoa remedy, which cured him in
less than "a hours. For sale by

stricken abode and surrounded by her
FIVE young children. the police found
Mrs. Nancy McKane. slowly dying
from hunger. The dead bodies OF her
husband and a sixteen-months-old
grandson lay in the same room. There
was no fire and no food. One of the
children lay on the couch with the
suffering mother flushed with fever.
The husband had died from con-
sumption and the infant grandson
had succumbed to insufficient. nourish-

its destitution that the two officers,
who had accidentally discovered It,
provided coal and food from their own
pockets. and then took the oppor-

EDWARD ANNOUNCED EMPEROR.
Gorgeous Array on tho Great Plain at
Delhi,

Delhi. India, Jan. 2.-Thousands OF
thousands of people from the city OF
Delhi and from villages far and near
began gathering at daybreak on the
great plain outside the city.
There they waited patiently for the
supreme announcement of the durbar
that King Edward was emperor OF
India. Soon the great plain was filed
with crowding masses OF people and
the brightly colored clothing of the
vast throns covered the space with
gorgeous hues.
The attention OF al was fxed upon
the white aInphitheater, in the center
of the plain, where the announcement
was to be made. The amphitheatel
was adorned with gilded cupc!as and
surrounded by batteries. squadrons
and battalions of the Ifalan army.
Beyond the amphitheater, in the dis
tance, could be seen great numbers
OF elephants, camels and horses. So
vast was the multitude that the troops
appeared as mere splashes of color.
The arrival at the amphitheater of the
viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, and
other dignitaries and the princes, was
one Of the brilliant episodes of the
day.
When the viceroy reached the
throne the national anthem was played
and salute of twenty-one guns was
fired. When the spectators had re-
sumed their seats after the anthem,
there was a flourish of trumpets from
the heralds and Major Maxwell, at the
command of the viceroy, read the
proclamation opening the durbar. The
royal standard was then raised on high
and the imperial salute was fired. The
massed bands marched by playing.
Bonfres were started by the troops
outside and 1t was announced that
King Edward was emperor of India.

Washington, Jan. 6.-When the sen
ate reconvened yeslerday, aIter l-e
holiday recess, few senator's we're ao-
sent. Almost Immediately Discus
sion began regarding the coal s.tu-l-
ton. Mr.. Lodge preiaced his introuuc-
tion of bill suspending tor ninety
days the duty on coal, with the state
ment that in New England there was
much distress owing 10 the scarcity OF
coal and that unless relief was ar
fOrded at once a number OF factories
would have to shut down. He was
aware, he said, that such bill should
originate in the house OF representa-
tives, but it was his desire to call the
attention OF the senate committee to
the state of affairs. Mr.. Culberson
followed with resolution providing
for the removal OF the duty on anthra-
cite coal and asked its immediate con-
sideraticn. Mr.. Platt (Conn.) object
ed, saying that it was his understand
ing that there was no duty on anthra-
cite coal Mr.. Vest took exception to
this statement and said that the board
of general appraisers and President
Roosevelt had decided that such a
duty is imposed. Mr.. Vest also intro
duced a resolution on the subject. An
other resolution bearing on the subject
of coal, introduced by Mr.. Jones
(Ark.), recited the charge of w. r.
Hearst that there was an illegal com
bination among certain railroads to
control the shipment of anthracite
coal and called on the attorney gen
eral for the evidence which it was al
legged had been secured by him. 1t
caused lively debate, in which sew
eral Republican senators vigorously
resented what they thought was re-

discussion continued until 2 o'clock,
