Reaching theSpot.
It Can Be Done, So
Scores Of Sumter Cit
liens Say.


The pains of rheumatism,
The tired out feelings,
You must reach the spot-get atthe cause
In most cases It's the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys.
VIM. J. Clover, Florence, blacksmith in the
Coast Line Repair Shops, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills are a great kidney remedy. I
used them for my back which has given me a
lot of trouble for three or four years. I have
had to lose time from work on account Of
them being so acute. doctored for rheu-
matisrl, rubbed my back with liniments and
laid off for two weeks during one attack. but
nothing completely cured me. At night
hurts worse than during the day and could
not rest il any position. My~kidney secre-
tions were all out of FIX, full of sediment
very dark colored and greatly disturbed my
rest. Finally saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised and got box. They did me more
good in one week than all the other medl-
cines used during four years. The backach
left me, the kidney secretions cleared up and
could go to bed and rest all night without
having to get up once"

COMMANDER or ST. PETERSBURG
TO Be MADE The SGAPE GOAT.
Russian Ambassador Gives Assur-
.ance That No Infringement of
British Rights Was intend

London. July 21.-The Associated
press learns that Count Benckendorf,
the Russian ambassador, at confer
ence with Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe, yesterday afternoon, made
what may be considered to be a pre-
liminary reply to the British protest
against the seizure of the steamer NAL
acca. He assured the foreign secre-
tsry that his government had no in
tention of infringing on the rights of
Great Britain or any other neutral
power and that if a mistake had been
made in the seizure of the Malacca
unquestionably the steamer wih i'm
mediately be restored and damages
would be paid. =
The ambassador pointed out that it
was unreasonable to suppose that
the Malacca had been seized without
the commander of the st. Petersburg
having good grounds to believe that
she had contraband on board. I'm.
less this suspicion is efectually dis
proved the matter will have to 90 be-
fore a prize court, which procedure
Great Britain herself follows. In the
meantime Russia will make full in
vestigation in order to establish de-
fnitely the grounds On which the COM
mander acted.
There is reason to believe that
the Russian authorities incline to the
conclusion that the commander of the
st. Petersburg made grave mistake
in seizing Bthe Malacca. This can be
established by his reports, which have
been telegraphed for, and if this opin-
ion is conrfmd orders will be tele-
graphed to release the Malacca.

GOVERNMENT PROTESTS.
Prompt Actions Taken to Compel
the Cars Acknowledgement
Of Error---The British
Press Speaks Out.

st. Petersburg, July 20, G.35 p. m.
Sir Charles Hardinge. the British
ambassador to Russia, this afternoon.
in behalf of his government presented
strong protest to Russia against the
seizure in the Red sea ands detention
Of the Peninsula and Oriental steamer
Malscca, which was carrying 800 tons
Of British government stores for the
naval establishment atHon gkong,
each case of which was marked with
the broad arrow, which is the goven-
meut stamp.
The ambassador also presented a
general protest against the action of
the Russian volunteer feet steamers in
the Red sea.
The protest was in the form of a
vebal note made in conformity with
telegraphic instructions from the
British government. It does not raise
the question of the passage of the Da-
danelles by vessels of the volunteer
feet, it being understood that Great
Britain is reluctant to reopen the ques-
tion of the passage Of the Daraneiles
and that she will not do so unless as
last resort.
Russia has reason to believe aud
contends that the Malacca, in add.
tion to British government stores had
on board munitions intended for
Japan.

ST. Petersburg, July 81, 1.42 a.

interview with Count Lamsdorf, the
foreign minister, expressed his dis
pleasure at the posi- bility of complica-

Of the detention Of British ips by
the Russian volunteer feet steamers
in the Red Sea.
This pacific attitude, if the report
be correct, will doubtless lead to an
Immediate and amicable adjustment of
