Wilson Explains Alaska Trip.
Washington, D. c., Aug, 2.-Secre-
tary Wilson today issued a statement
relating to the charge that his son
and private secretary made a trip to
Alaska year and a half ago at the
expense of the department The state
ment follows:
There was dispute between min
ers in Alaska and other people not
living in Alaska regarding the condi.
tion of the game there 1t was re:
ported to me by our scientists that
game was abundant and the supply
was in no danger of exhaustion Dele.
cations from Alaska came here pro
testing against sending anybody there
with permission to shot and bring out
trophies. Congress had given me
power to grant permits and we were
giving them freely for while. For
eign nobleman wanted to go there tc
shot and get trophies; they would
shoot until they got as good a speci
men as they wanted, leaving the car
casses of the others to rot The min
ers claimed that they lived there ir
winter, that game was the resource
which often stood between them anC
starvation. They thought it ought tc
be left for their use.
$50 here was dispute Here was
a demand for permits to hunt, kill ant
bring out trophies. l wanted to know
the real facts sent my private sec
retary there with instructions as tt
where to go and what to find out, ant
he was to bring back report to me
This he did. He is salaried Officer
here. The department paid his travel
ing expenses, of course.
Upon receipt of the secretary's re
port shut down on granting permits
to everybody except to persons rep
resenting museums and educationa
institutions. Since that time no per
mits have been given. There is onl,
one point to be determined and tha
is whether the heads Of animals
killed in the winter for meat might no
be brought out as trophies. thinl
they might be, providing we can have
it done without encouraging pot hunt
ers. So the matter rests at this time.

On Board the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, via Wireless Station at Syas-
conset, Mass, Aug. 2-After a good
passage across the Atlantic Sergius
Witte, the Russian envoy to the peace
conference, is in perfect health.
Speaking of his approaching arrival
on American soil M. Witte said: ~
am happy to visit America, which
country am most anxious to know.
My only regret is that / cannot speak
English" Witte stated that his only
mission is the negotiation Of peace, but
refused to give out any statement re-
garding his intentions and the basis
on which he will seek a settlement Of
the war.
Diplomats Arc Anxious,
New York, Aug 2.-On the eve of
the arrival of M de Witte, Russia's
senior peace plenipotentiary, the most
pronounced pessimism prevails at the
New York headquarters at the Russian
and Japanese missions Agents of
Russia believe Japan will propose such
unreasonable and humiliating terms
that under no circumstances can they
be accepted.
Representatives of Japan are op.
pressed with the fear that the cZar
has entered into negotiations merely
for the purpose of ascertaining Japan s
terms and developing world sentiment
hostile to the cause of the mikado.
There thus exists a woeful lack of con.
fidence on both sides, which will ser.
| iously hamper the negotiations when
| they begin next Monday. s
So suspicious Is the Japanese gov
ernment Of the good faith of the Rus
SLAMS that it may decline to grant an
armistice unless first assured that NJ
de Witte and Baron Rosen actually In
tend ito negotiate. conclude and sign
a treaty. So far as credentials are
concerned, there is no doubt that the
official papers which M. de Witte and
Rosen will desplay will be ample. But
the credentials being acceptable, how
far will they be able to act independ
emily of their government?

character as that displayed by the
Russians in the negotiations which

Filipino Maid Knows Secrets.
On a Filipino maid will depend much
of the testimony which will decide the
divorce suit of Major Elmer E. Tag
gart against his wife, who is a Chi
cago woman, daughter of the late Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Culver of that city.
What this girl is alleged to know
furnishes aid and comfort to both sides
in the most sensational marital litiga-
tion of generation.
Augustine Du La Cruz will not ap-
pear on the stand, but her written
word may have an important bearing
on a case which menaces the social
underpinings of army life. Major Tag
gart claims the girl as witness; so
does Mrs Taggart.

In his original prayer for divorce
the major set forth that his wife had
deserted him and had received the at

Died.

June 10, 1905, Mr.. w. M. Hank
ard at his residence on Home street
Saturday morning at the hour of 3,
after two years of pain that was
intensely cruel and hard to cope
with towards the finale
But until ten days ago he had
kept up, owing to his wonderful
energy and will power exerted over
matter. Mr.. Hankard was a native
Of Corke, Ireland, and Catholic by
faith During the first part of his
illness / was with him often and
each time found him cheerful and
appreciative of the most minute
kindness. He was very interesting
to those who knew him well, using
wit and a good native humor to a
very pleasing degree. His wife
and daughter we're nntiring in their
efforts to relieve his pain. Mr..
Hankard was Knight of Honor
for over twenty years in the best
of standing. He was aware that
the Heaven of Eternal rest was
nearing each moment and was will
ling to obey the Masters call.
Twas sad to break another link in
the small household leaving only
two, wife and daughter, alone in
this beautiful world Yet we know
it's right or it would not have been
so.
Then weep not dear ones,
That life is DER,
For God marked the falling step
And gave him rest
From path none too steep,
And quietly folded the tired hands
And kissed the heart
Into silent beats.

NOW rs THE 7iME ron HY0MEi.
Far Easier to Cure catdrt Now Than at
Any Other Season.

Any Other Season.
Now is the time TO use Hyomei,
when the early summer days make it
so easy to cure catarrhal troubles,
The Hyomei treatment, breathed for
a few minutes three or four times a
day in May or June, will do good twice
as quickly as it did in January, and
neatly everyone knows that used faith
fully then, it completely rids the sys-
tenn of catarrh.
Hyomei is purely vegetable pre-
paration whose active curative prop
critics are given off when it is breathed
by the aid of the pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit. 1t destroys
all germ life in the air passages, puri-
ties the blood by supplying additional
ozone, and its healing, volatile, anti
septic fragrance reaches every corner
Of the respiratory tract as no medicine
taken through the stomach can possi-
bly, do.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and consists of a neat
inhaler that can be carried in the
purse or vest-pocket and will last a
lifetime, a medicine dropper, and a
bottle Of Hyomei. Extra bottles of
Hyomei can be procured, if desired,
for fifty cents.
At this season of the year when ca
tarrhal troubles can be so quickly and
readily cured, the merits of the HYo-
mel treatment should be carefully in
vestigated by everyone and a complete
outfit should be in every home. The
Red Cross Drug Store give their per-
sonal guarantee with every Hyomei
outfit they sell to refund the money if
it does not give satisfaction. There
is no risk whatever to the purchaser
of Hyomei.
