Depression Of the nervous system at

General lassitude. dull, heavy sensa-

proves itself to be perfectly adapted to

produces regular sleep.
That tired feeling which is the natural
result of the depressing effect of warm
weather Immediately after the invigorat-
ing cold of winter, quietly disappears
when Peruna is taken. Thousands are
daily testifying to its priceless benefit.

EFFECT OF COMMANDMENT.
Great Damage to Property and Much

New York. March 17.-Three Norwe-
gian steamers, the Brand, Argo and
Seirestad, released a few days ago by
the authorities at Port Arthur, have ar
rived at Shanghai, according to a World
dispatch from that city. The captains,
who were put under oath by the Rus
slams to reveal nothing they saw, re-
fuse to speak of affairs at Port Arthur,
but the correspondent asserts that
members of the crews willingly told
what they knew. During the last bonn
bardment last Sunday the Argo lay
alongside the battleship Retvizan in
the harbor and one of the Norwegians
confirmed previous reports to the effect
that a Japanese shell fell on the Retvi-

officers and men.
Scarcely a residence in the new par
of the town escaped damage. Many or
the inhabitants attempted to construct
rude bomb proof shelters.
One shell fell among a crowd of sight
seers who had gathered at point OF
vantage and were gazing out to sea at
the attacking fleet. The shell killed 20.
Three government clerks were killed
while hurrying from the port admiral S
office.
A cruiser lying at anchor cables
length from the Retvizan, probably the
Diana, was struck on the waterline and
set on fire. The sailors declare that 80
persons on board persisted.
The supply of food in Port Arthur is
still sufficient for the needs of the gar
rison, but it is entirely under the con-
troll of the military authorities, who

THE DUKE IS DEAD.
Cousin of Late Queen Victoria
Passes Away.

London March 1.-THE Duke of Cam
bridge died at 1925 o'clock this morn
ing. He was a cousin of the late
Queen Victoria. and was born March
&c, 1919.
The duke died peacefully at GIou-
cester house, his Georgian residence on
Park Lane. He had been confined to
his house for some weeks, but until
compelled to take to his bed he was
about with his accustomed activity, be-
ing, as was his custom, a constant at
tendant at functions of a national or
charitable character. At the most
recent of these 1t was obvious that the
duke was becoming exceedingly feeble.
He presented a somewhat pathetic
figure as leaning heavily on the arm of
one of his sons he advanced with fall
tering steps to address a gathering for
some patriotic movement. When 1T
was announced a month ago that the
duke was obliged to forego his annual
visit to the south of France. it was
recognized that his chances of recovery
were slight. King Edward and Queen
to the sick room, while the dukes sons,
Admiral and Colonel Fitzgeorge, were
almost necessarily at his bedside.
Up to the present year the duke re-
tanned much of his old-tima activity.
and despite his great age always par
ticipated in the shooting parties at his
place, Six Mile Bottom, Cambridge
shire, and enjoyed entertaining and be-
ing entertained. Although he was i'm
bued with old world conserva tism. he
was undoubtedly a popular figure with
the masses. and even his prejudice in
the opposition to the modernization
and characterization of the army failed
to decrease the affection with which all
ranks regarded their old commander
in-chief. The title of Duke of Cam
bridge died with the late duke, his sons
being born of a morganatic marriage.
His death also places at the disposal of
the king a field marshaFs baton as
we'll as an Order of the Garter
1t is expected the remains of the duke
will ba buried at Kew. An imposing
military display will be made at the
funeral
The death of the duke necessitates
the postponement or canceling of all
royal functions, as the court will go
into mourning for several weeks, and
the programme for the whole London
season will have to be revised. Com
ing on top of several previous seasons
this will be a hard blow to the trades
men who have been expecting what
promised to be an unusually gay
spring to recoup their losses of recent
years.
The flags on the public buildings
were half masted Immediately after
the death of the duke became known,
the royal standard over Buckingham
palace setting the example. In many
cases Irish flags flying in honor of St.
Patrick's day were removed.

CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
Special Commission Reports on Bal
tiuore CONFEDERATION.

Baltimore, Nd, March 1.-THE spe-
cial commission named by local insur-
ance people appointed to inquire into
the origin of the late fire here has
formulated its report. They find in
substance that the fire originated from
outside causes in the John E. Hurst
company building. The electric switch
es were cut off, the flow of gas was cut
of at the metres and the fires in the
boxes of the boilers were shown to have
been drawn before the blaze started. 1t
is the theory Of commission that a
lighted cigarette or cigar must have
ignited inf1ammable material in the
cellar and snouldered until the men
discovered the smoke.
It is suggested that the opening of
the doors caused a vent for the flames.

New York, March 17.-STOCKS-As
rule newspaper reports containing opin-
ions of public men in Washington do not
name the persons whose opinions are re-
corded. For diplomatic reasons and in
response to the merest commonsense it
would not do for public officials or for
members of congress to ventllate over
their own names their opinions that they
are apt to freely render. There is no
doubt that a good part of the strength
of the stock market yesterday was in
consequence of a stampede of shorts.
There has been a great amount of COW
ering because the market has gone up
instead of down. It must be recalled that
the Improvement in the market for the
last few days. has not been peculiar to
New York city. The greatest advance
yesterday was in Paris. Prices rose in
ST. Petersburg. Japanese bonds gained
points everywhere and the London mar
ket ruled strong throughout. There has
come at one and the same time mar
ket revival all over the civilized world.
All the worlds speculative markets have
recently been greatly depressed and suf-
fering from pronounced speculative
apathy. Business in Wall street shows
some signs of picking up. Speculation is
improving a little, but not much.
