In April he urged that the government,
instead of sending gold. should dispatch
two or three frigates with iron, and recon-

taliatfon on the cruisers and subjects. This
was his last letter from Tripon. Before the
formal declaration of war, i'm May 1901,
Capt. Cathcart sent his family to Leghorn.
but stuck to his post and refused to haul
down his flag.
When the native authorities threatened to
cut 1t down he announced that they would
have him to kill first, but IL they did SO
they had better mind which way the wind
was blowing. for il the stencil from his
corpse reached the frigates they would be
blown out of water. He was however,
protected by the Swedish consul, who as
sisted him to Leghorn, where he arrived
June 2.
Subsequently Capt. Cathcart served as
consul at Tunis. Leghorn. Madeira and Ca

rotary Oliver has informed the Senate
and House committees on the District Of
Columbia that the War Department had no
objection to the passage Of the joint reso-
luton providing for the temporary occu-
pancy of a portion of the grounds of the
Washington monument for the American
railway appliance exhibition. Gen. Mac
kenzie said that while he did not anticipa ate
that the grounds would suffer any perma-

would be we'll for the legislation to require
that the desired permission be granted by
the War Department under conditions pre-
scribed by that department designed to pro-

century ago for women's ills. This
is vegetable tonic, made only Of
barks, roots and herbs, which puts
the female system into perfect,
healthy action. Before baby's COM

puts the womanly system into a

Many mothers of families in the
United States have reason to be
grateful to the person who recon-
mended DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription 1t does not cure eczema,
catarrh in all its forms, nor heart dis
ease, for it is put up for the single
purpose of curing disease peculiar to
women. 1t has reputation of over
thirty-eight years of cures, and has
sold more largely on this continent
than any other medicine for women.
Another point in its favor: 1t does
not contain single drop of alcohol
nor of any narcotic 1t is purely
vegetable. An alcoholic compound
for women is something no woman
should take. Womanly weakness
will always bring on nervous irrita-
bility, and alcohol is the very worst
thing in. the world for her to take in
this nervous condition. What the
woman needs is a vegetable tonic
which will build up her delicate sys-
tenn and bring about a healthy tone.

ask is fair and reasonable trial of
their means of cure.

consulted DR.. Pierce by letter, Civ

your case does not indicate the use

IMPERIAL PALACE BURNS.
Emperor of Korea Forced to Flee for
His Life.

Paris, April 16.-A cable report re-
ceived at the foreign office here says
that the imperial palace at Seoul, ko-
rea, was completely destroyed by fire
Thursday night. The emperor and his
suite succeeded in escaping to near
by refuge.
London, April 16.-The Japanese
legation has received the following &C
count of the fire which destroyed the
imperial palace at Seoul.
"The fire broke out at 10 o'clock on
the evening of April 14th. With the
exception of the Kieuseiken, which is
in the European style, all the other
palace buildings were consumed. The
emperor took refuge in the library OF
the Kiuseiken building.
ct Is believed that the fire origi-
aated in the heating apparatus OF the
Kauvei palace, which was undergoing
repairs.
Japanese soldiers took a promi-
aent part in guarding the emperor as
we'll as in extinguishing the fire, and
this produced an excellent feeling
among the court circle. Our troops

not imagine that they would send such
little boats so far from the fleet or
that they would even risk them at the

Asked whether any other theory
were possible, the grand duke replied:
"The coincidence that the Petro-

simultaneously seems to confirm the

sible that the mines laid down by the
Russians or by the Japanese during
their last attack drifted to- the en-
