Arriving at q Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, Aug. 1.-(Special.)-
In this section OF Pennsylvania there is
a growing belief that for such Kidney
Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame
Back there is only one sure cure and
that is DOdd's Kidney Pills. This be-
lief grows from such cases as that OF
Mrs. NJ. i. Dawson OF this place. She
tells the story herself as follows:
II have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that DOdd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken. l
was also bothered with Lame Back
and I can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since / took DOdd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes OF Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full IL IL were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. hushe-
qua IS fast arriving at verdict that
aDOdd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

it is well to consider that scientists
laughed at the possibility of the

chise would make it impossible to Sc
cure necessary capital to establish the
plant, as it must be financed so remote
from the money centers.
Although the evidence before us
showed that the expense Of making gas
on the Pacific coast is more than dou-
and that two-thirds of the gas COM
panies on that coast have a maximum
rate as high or higher than the rate
in the bill as originally presented, and
that the expense of installing a plant
in Honolulu would be still greater on
account of the high cost of labor and
material, and the fact that the pipes
would have to be laid in a coral SUBJ
stratum, we have reduced the maxi
mum price to a net of substantially 81,
and inserted a provision by which the
rates, if unreasonable, can be regulated
by the local courts upon the petition of
any person in interest. The company
do not expect to charge as high rate
for fuel gas; the maximum rate in the
bill is intended to cover Illuminating
gas.
THE statements before the commit
tee show that careful comparison has
been made between the cost of installing
and operating the plant, and the prob
able revenue to be derived therefore,

PORT ARTHUR, March IS.-Ac-
cording to information received from
Russians at Shanghai, during the fight
ing at Port Arthur on February 10 and
February II the battleship Mikasa was
struck by ten projectiles and serious
ly damaged. Two Japanese battle
ships and two cruisers have been dock
ed for repairs at Nagasaki and Sase-
DO, and 1000 wounded men are said to
be in the Japanese hospitals.
All the Russian sick and wounded
at Port Arthur are making good prog
ress toward recovery.
JAPANESE CRUISER BATTERED.
PORT ARTHUR, March 1.-two
Russian passengers of the steamship
Argun, captured by the Japanese off
the coast of Korea on February 2 and
taken to Sasebo, have returned here.
The passengers say that while at Sase-
DO on February II on board the Tokai
Maru, to which they had been trans
ferred, they saw the Japanese cruiser
Asuma being towed into that port The
AsuIna was without srnokestacks,
masts or bridge, and her decks had

the passengers left there. They say
that the wealthy Japanese are refusing

presents from the Mikado to contribute

1t was claimed in the official Russian
reports of the Chemulpo engagement
that the cruiser Variag, before she was
blown up by her own captain to pre-
vent her capture bv the Japanese, had
succeeded in disabling one Japanese
warship, which afterward sank, and it
was declared that the bodies of many
members of the crew had been washed
ashore Since the day of the battle re-
ports have come from various sources
that a sunken Japanese cruiser had
been seen near the entrance to the har-
Dor of ChenuIpo.

MIKADo's CRUISER LOST.

SEOUL, March II (via Chefoo, Mar
I4).-It can now be stated positively
that the Japanese lost one cruiser in
the first naval engagement of the war,
which occurred off the harbor of Che
mulpo. Foreign residents of Chemulpo
who investigated the report that a
Japanese warship, disabled and aban-
doned, was stranded on the beach sew
eral miles from the harbor entrance,
found that it was true. The vessel is
aground in the mud fats, only her
stem and tunnels being above water at
low tide. Apparently she was an I'M
armored cruiser of the second class.
Some miles to the southwark of this
sunken warship is the hulk of trans
port, which was driven ashore during
gale while the Japanese army was be-
ing transported to Seoul. 1t is pre-
sumed that the soldiers aboard the
transport succeeded in reaching shore.

90 not intend to eulogize my old
chief, for eulogies are seldom conyino-
ing, writes A Mountney Jephson, in
Scribner's. He had many faults, and
some Of. them even were grave ones;
but they were, L think, chiefly the
faults of his qualities, and without
those faults he would not probably
have been possessed of some of the
great qualities which made him so
successful in almost everything that
of mean or petty kind, and were
easily forgotten when one saw the
true greatness and nobility of his
nature beyond. That untiring energy
and indomitable resolve to overcome
all difficulties; that apparently ruth
less determination to sweep away all
opposition; his seeming hardness and
callousness in working to achieve
W hat he had undertaken, if lie felt
that the end was a good one; the
curiously hard and unsympathetic at
titude he had toward failure OF any
kind, no matter how blameless the
failure might be; all these ard many
others are not qualities that are
usually found in gentle and amiable
natures, and they do not as rule
attract sympathy and affection. But
they saved the noble expedition from
humiliation many a time, they
dragged us out of difficulties which
would have overcome an ordinary
man, they drew us through places
where there seemed to be only death
before us and they gained for him the
absolute trust and confidence of all
those who followed him.
In the early part Of the expedition
we. Stanley, four officers, Captain
Stairs, Captain Nelson, DR., Parke and
myself, did not entirely understand
! his character, and at first the things
| that he did seemed to us sometimes to
be hard and unnecessary. But as the
months went by our estimate of his
character changed, for we saw how
absolutely right and necessary all
that he had done had been, and we
realized that sometimes it was very
necessary to do hard things for the
safety and preservation of an expedl-
tion like ours.
Stanley has often been accused of
cruelty, but can only say that during
the three years we four officers were
with him in Africa We never once
saw him do cruel or wanton thing
or anything of which our consciences

THE VERMONT ELECTION.

The Herald of Boston, gueli la in
politics, discourses on the recent cleo
ton in Vermont: vermont has
spoken, and with no uncertain voice.
Whatever advantage there was to be
gained by either party from the show
ing in the Green Mountain State un.
questionably accrues to the Republi-
cans. At the hour of writing, mid
night, it is certain that the State has
gone Republican by a plurality Of
over 10000, probably by over 30. 900.
Perhaps the best election with which
to compare that held on Tuesday was
he contest of 1900, the last year in
which both governor and presiden-
tial electors were chosen. Vermont
in the State election of 1900 went Re-
publican by 81,3l2. President McKin-
ley, two months later. was given a
plurality of 40, 948. The Republican
vote this year is holding quite well
up to that thrown in the State con-
test four years ago. On the other
hand, the Democratic vote has fallen
off sufficiently to Justify the predic-
ton that Vermont will prove more
strongly Republican this year than she
did in the State contest of 1900. The
