Andrew L. sanborn. representing the

opposed the application Of the New Castle
county claiming that the Market street
railroad crossing was a dangerous one.
and to make railway terminal at that
point would mean certain loss OF life and
loss Of money to his clients by reason OF
suits for damages.
A petition signed by residents Of Six
teenth street, who are opposed to the
Peoples Railway Company from laying
tracks in that thoroughfare for its line to
DuPonts Bank. was presented by Ben
iamiu Smedley and Charles NJ. Curtis
The petitioners contend that they moved
into the thoroughfare In question be-
cause no cars ran in the stret and because
Of the quietness Of the neighborhood. Ae-

New York. May 22.-The tone of
speculative sentiment underwent an
abrupt transition during the course
of today's trading in stock. Defined
rumors of financial institution IN
trouble circulated late in the day me
influence upon feeling of the Vloletle
break in prices of the latter part OF
the day was the more effective on
account of the tone shown during the
morning. The receipt of considerable
buying orders from London gave an
impression also of revived CONFIDENCE
in our securities on that side Oh the
ocean. There was no news to account
for the sudden accession OF seliiilg
power in the market, the orders TO sell
appearing simultaneously In many
quarters and from an unknown origin.
The market had come pracucally 10 q
standstill before they appeared and
this had a discouraging effect ON
those hopeful for a further advance.
The upward movement gave impress
sion of having been fostered for the
purpose of affording better basis Tor
further liquidation, and the suspicion
got abroad that large and important
/ interests We're getting out or their
holdings of some of the most lmpof-
tant stocks in the market. The abrupt
drop in Northern Pacific was OF
now believed that the formation last
week in the Northern Pacific direc-
/ torate may be also accepted as the
definite conclusion of any harmony
plans that may have been in contem-
plation and any accompanying hopes
of the high values to be developed IN
all northwestern stocks by a compre-
hensive plan to conserve all interests
Another important sentimental infiu-
| ence was - renewed weakness OF
the United States Steel stocks. Rail
road traffic officials admitted some
falling off in business on account OF
crop uncertainties and the strength
of wheat today on the weather in the
| Southwest augmented this influence
Some of the weakness Of special
stocks was attributed to the campaign
| by advertising methods in favor oil
selling stocks. There was the usual
short covering on the days decline

The worlds greatest physicians

necessary to incur the publicity and eX-
pense of attending a sanitartum. but
the disease of drunkenness can be
cured right in the home by Orrine.
This great remedy is put up by o
chemist who, after many years of con-

necessary ingredients that positively
conquer the craving for liquor.
Orrine is T;Et u0 in two forms. No.

tea, coffee or food, without the pa

odorless and colorless. Orrine No. 2
is put up i'm pill form, for the volun-
tary treatment of those desiring to free
themselves from the grasp of alcoholic
stimulants; this is in a convenient
form to carry in the vest pocket.
Either form costs 81 per package.
Many cases in this city have been
completely cured with four boxes of
Orrine. Think of this little cost COM

GERMAN WAR IN AFRICA
Much Criticism Of commissioning
~. for His Savage Methods.

w. LONDON spectator.
The war in German Southwest Africa
is evidently a source of serious perplex-
ity to the statesmen in Berlin. Much
is due to the conduct of General Won
Trotha, the commander-in-chief, whose
methods Of blood and iron scarcely
commend themselves to. his official SUI
periors. Some of his proclamations of
last year have now been published, Inc
in one dated Oct. 2, 1904, he announced
that every Herero found within the
German frontier with or without a,
rife would be shot, and that ais for
the women and children, he would.
either drive them back to their own
people or have them fred on.
Prince Buelow demanded the repeal
OF this proclamation, and reports which
are fltering home as to the methods of
warfare employed seem to have really
disguised the German public with the
commander-in-chief. He has also crit
icised the imperial chancellor in pub
lie with much indiscretion, and it is
rumored that he will be recalled and a
civil governor appointed in his stead.
The war has now been going on. for.
twenty months, and there is no sign OF
peace, while it's cost is upward Of
t25 900. a day. The most extraordin-
airy feature in the situation is the APP
parent unwillingness of the chancellor
to. investigate the matter or allow. a
debate the subject in the reichstag,
an unwil1ingness which is, said to be
due to the fear than the Pan-Germans
would seize the occasion to level wild
charges against England.

BODY FROM RIVER
MRS. GAsLIN WILL BE BURIED BY

Special to The Journal.
Anoka, Mimi, Sept. 1.-THE body Of
Mrs. Joseph Gaslin, who drowned her
self three months ago while insane, was
found in the Mississippi near q boom
at Camden Place today. Identification
was made by the clothing, as the body
was in a terrible state from the action
of the elements.
Almost a score of years ago the Mis-
sissippi claimed two daughters OF Mrs.
Gaslin. They were buried at st. Fran
els and tomorrow the remains Of the
mother, who likewise lost her life in the
river, will be laid beside them. The
services will be in charge of Rev. f. =;
Leach Of Anoka.
Mrs. Gaslin was living at Champlln
when she disappeared. She had been
sick and a month before her disappear
ance her mind had failed her. 1t was
believed at nee that she had drowned
herself, but a search made along the
river for her body was fruitless.
Mrs. Gaslin was a pioneer resident OF
Anoka,, but lived for a year before her
death at Champlin. She was about 60.

The old American diplomacy was
largely &. diplomacy of controversy and
discussion. 1t was signalized by great
dispatches, like .Webster's famous
Hulseman letter and Stewards letter,
with Lincoln's amendments, on the
Trent case, and Blaine's argument ON
the Boring sea fisheries, and Olney's
broadside on the Monroe doctrine. Mr..
Hay wrote no such masterpiece of di--
plomatic literature. His diplomacy
consisted of masterpieces of diplomatic
action. It was embodied in the brief
circular demand for the "open door,
backed by the new American prestige
and influence. It insisted upon the In
tegrity of China. NJ when Europe was
blinking at ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 1t opened
| communication with Picking when no
other government could penetrate the
veil. It localized the Boxer outbreak
when the diplomacy of Europe would
| have, made a general war. 1t softened'
the terms Of peace and reduced the In
| demnity. The distinctive achievements
Of Mr.. Hay have been in the east,
which has been so con%spicuously the
| theater of the worlds action for the
last six years, and they have been made
possible by the new position OF the
United States. s--.-
