New York, Sept 10.--In response to
numerous inquiries as to the attitude
of the executive committee Of the In
dependence league relative to the
prospective action of the league con-
vention, which will take place here to-
morrow, and the discussion of the
probable, fusion with other orga @zas
tions, statement was made after a

HARVARD MEN NOT D0WNcAST
Express Wish to Meet English Con-
querors In American Waters.

london, Sept. 10.-W While naturally
Keenly disappointed at their failure to
defeat the Cambridge crew, the Har-
ward oarsmen are offering no excuses
for their loss of the international boat
race by two lengths.
During the five weeks spent on the
Thames they exerted every effort to
reach that form whafh they hoped
would enable them to win and entered
their boat in perfect condition; but, as
was proved, this was not sufficient to
overthrow England's crack university
crew, which Captain FilIey and each
of his men candidly admit was too
strong for them.
The Americans rowed their best from
start to finish and took advantage of
every lesson they had learned since
reaching England and did not lose
hope until Cambridge crossed the line,
but all in vain. Their only wish now
is to have an opportunity of meeting
the wearers of the light blue in Amer
ican waters
English experts say there is but one
explanation for the result, that of SUI
periority of English Craftsmanship and
of the English stroke Harvard, the
experts declare, was one of the finest
crews physically ever seen on the riv
er, but they were unable to overcome
that training which English oarsInen
receive from childhood.
Harvard was defeated by one of the
strongest university crews ever seen
on the Thames. Stuart of Cambridge
without doubt is one of the most re.
seurceful strokes, with a genius fof
leadership, working with brain as well
as with arms and legs. He knew that
he must lead the Harvard crew at the
outset and keep his advantage mile
after mile, and with the help of seven
experienced watermen he succeeded in
winning the race.
Yet the Harvard men, while unable
to oyertake Cambridge, rowed with
dogged persistence and forced Meir
rivals to exert themselves to the ut
most. 1t was a long, plucky race
astern, and at the end Harvard seem
ed fresher than Cambridge and better
able to row another mile.

REBEL FORCE REPULSED.
Cuban Loyalist Troops Raise Siege of
Arnored Train.

Havana, Sept 10--In the most i'm.
portant battle of the present srevolu,
tion the government appears to have
won temporary advantage, check,
ing General Pine Guerra's victorious
march through Pinar del Rio. While
the final issue is still in doubt. the
loyal troops We're able to cut their way
through the rebels, join the men com.
manded by General Pedro Diaz on an
armored train near Consolation and
drive the main insurgent body east
ward
Reports received in Havana are
vague, conflicting and unsatisfactory,
as the wires are down from Paso Real
west. 1t is asserted that when the
train reached point two kilometers
this side of Consolation the engine and
ore car left the track, as rail had
been removed. The main body of
Guerra's men attempted to capture.
the train by assault
The attach was repelled with great
loss, as the machine guns under Cap
tain Webster swept the open field
about the train. The rebels had the
train surrounded and hoped to conf
pei it's surrender, as the troops had
little water and provisions.
A body of rural guards commanded
by Colonel Ayalos, coming from Puer-
to de Golpe, made an attack on the
flank and cut their way through and
effected junction, clearing the road
from the train west.
1t is impossible to get details of the
fight. A special relief train of armor-
ed cars has left Havana.
Many persons in Havana believe that
Guerra has taken the train and that
he will advance on the capital There
are rumors on every side about the
insurgents plans to capture the city.
The story generally credited is that
Colonel Asbert will bring his men into
yedado, while Guerra goes around by
way of Guanabacoa.
The government continues the work
of defense.
President Palma has issued a call
for a special session of congress to
convene on Friday next in order to
consider the disturbed condition of the
country and devise measures to end
the intoIerable situation. The presi-
dent is weary of the complicated and
threatening conditions and is. anxious
to divide the responsibilities with con
gress.

GIVES UP ALL FORLOVE
German Count Renounces Title,
Position and Fortune to
Marry Shopgirl.
Welded IN oSSINING, N. Y:

Panton OF herman crown Prince
Leaves Native Land For Sake OF
Morsanatic Wife-Gets Position as
Chauffeur.
New York, Sept 10-In the. wedding
at Ossining of Count Hans sA.dinand
Won Hochberg, heir to the duchy of
Rohnstock, playmate and companion
of the German crown prince and cous-
in of the Grand Duke Michael of Sake
Weimar, a remarkable romance was
revealed, the strange story of the su-
prene sense of honor that prompts
man to sacrifice name and fame and
fortune to marry poor shopgirl.
It is a story that has agitated the
German court; that has caused the
resignation of the superintendent of
the Royal opera in Berlin; that has
estranged a dozen ancient families;
that has separated a father and son.
Duty alone destined Count Ferdi-
nand Won Hochberg to marry woman
so far beneath his station in life.
Louise Carow was her name, the
daughter of a workman, while he was
once in daily attendance at the i'm
perial palace as an officer of the First
regiment of German foot, the kaiser's
personal bodyguard.
Betrothed to a Princess.
The line of duty that he chose was
beset with many distractions. First
of all there came the disgrace, for at
the time of his decision he was to
have married princess of one of the
reigning families Then there was
his fathers threat of disinheritance,
later carried out. Lastly there was
dismissal from the army.
But he was determined in his de-
cision, in spite of the supreme sacri-
flee that had to be made. And when
they sent him to America, hoping that
he would forget he gave up the re-
mittance that came monthly and eH<
gagged himself as a chauffeur in Tarry
town. Then he cabled to Louise
Carow, the shopgirl, and begged her
to come out here to be- his wife.
He had married her morganatically
in Germany, but their marriage, at the
request of his father and his mother,
was set aside by the kaiser. So he
married her again in America in the
presence of little daughter that had
been born to them week ago.
Baby Will Be Countess.
After the wedding ceremony they
christened the baby. Her mother chose
the name. 1t is Johanna Louise, and
by the domestic relations law of the
state of New York the child through
the marriage is legitimatized. So when
she is twenty-one years of age she will
come into her title as Countess Johan-
ma Louise von Hochberg
Probably never before or since
baronial times has the house of Hoch-
berg known such romance. The
young Ferdinand is son of Count
Bolko Won Hochberg, the lord of Rohn-
stock castle, in Silesia the superin-
tendent of the Royal opera in Berlin
and the composer of 1Glausine" and
ssWaerwolf' . His mother, formerly
the Princess Christene Eleanore Won
Schonaich- -Carolath, is cousin of the
Crown Princess Cecilia of Germany
and as a youth Won Hochberg attended
the Bloen Military college with the
Grown Prince William. There they
became inseparable friends, and at his
wedding the latter appointed. the young
Count Won Hochberg chief Usher. The
count was born Nov. 21, 1879.

OUT ON TIE COAST.

A letter was received at this office
recently from VIM. Hawkins, former
resident of Wausau, who went West
several years ago, and who is now in
Buckley, Wash. We publish extracts
from his letter which will be interesting
to his old friends. He says: "Have
been along this coast some since COM
ing West. Made one trip from Seattle
to Vancouver, B. G. Stayed in that
place and worked at filing saws in a
siding mill; it is the finest city on the
coast except Victoria. Seattle does the
most business, but is not as nice as
either of the other cities, or Everett. |
have made some friends, but do not
find many as large hearted, generous
and noble, as my old Wausau friends,
whom l expect to see again some day.
This is great country. | am now
scaling logs and use six-foot rule,
which is the shortest used here. The
usual length is ten feet; it is common to
scale logs that will make two, three or
five thousand feet. Some of the cedar
is ten feet in diameter at the stump. l
also saw enc standing that is fifty-seven
feet around it," Mr.. Hawkins saws he
has met many former residents of Wau-
sau, all of whom are very well and like

WHY IT SUCCEEDS
Because 1t Is For One Thing Only
and Wausau Is Learning This.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing
only.
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney
ill.,
Here is Wausau evidence to prove it.
Mrs. Adolph Ostring, of 904 South
Third St., Wausau, Wis, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills cured Mr.. Ostring of bad
case of kidney trouble and backache
from which he had suffered for long
time without finding any relief. 1t was
a dull miserable aching in the loins
and though he never gave up, many a
man would have gone to bed if suffer
ing as he did. We got Doan's Kidney
Pills at Albers' drug store and treat
ment with this remedy cured him so
thoroughly that he has never had an
attack of the kind SINCE"
