BALKAN SITUATION ACUTE
British Foreign Minister Fears it Will
Break Concert of Powers.
AFFAIR AT CRITICAL STAGE
Lords and Commons Informed that
Diplomatic Tension Makes Out
look Anything Bat
Cheerful.

LONDON, Feb. 26.--The Macedonian diff
ficulty is in both houses Of Parliament
tonight. Sir Edward Grey. secretary for
foreign affairs made a statement in the
House Of Commons on this subject and
LORD Fitzmaurice, under secretary OF for
eign affairs, did likewise In the House Of
Lords. the gist of both statements being
that because of the porte's obduracy, mat
ters had reached a critical pass, that the
government deprecated any isolated action,
but doing its utmost to preserve the
concert of powers and press Turkey to an
acceptance of the reforms
Sir Edward Grey said that in discussing
the Macedonian question the government
was not far from the Turkish question,
which more than once had led to a Euro
pean war. They were rapidly nearing a
point, he said, where the concert of powers
must either Justify or stultify itself and
II the concert disapproved It was impossl-
BILE to foretell what Misunderstanding
might arise. II Macedonia continued to
be neglected, he added. as a note OF warn
ing, it must sooner or later provoke a
catastrophe.
Sir Edward suggested that II Turkish
governor were appointed for term Of
years and he was a man whose capacity
and character were recognized and &C
cepted by the powers, the whole question
might be solved.
Lord Fitzmaurice, who promised that the
government shortly would make sugges-
tions that 1t considered necessary to meet
the existing situation, said that he re-
gretted that he had no cheerful news to
impart for the present A very critical
stage had been reached, he said, in both
the local affairs of Macedonia and in the
diplomatic entente known as the concert
of Europe. The attitude of Turkey gave
cause for great anxiety and the foreign
office felt 1t necessary to ask themselves
whether the time had arrived to appoint
a Christian governor of Macedonia,
With regard to the Austrian project for
the construction of branch railroad line
through Turkish territory, to connect
Vienna with Saloniki. he said that the
treaty of Berlin gave Austria the right to
occupy and build such a road.
In conclusion he added that the bright
spot in the situation was that the powers
displayed less readiness than formerly to
minimize the dangers of the Macedonian
question.

FORT DODGE Ia, Feb. 25.-(Special)-
Frederick c. Larrabee yesterday announced
his candidacy for the state senatorship
from the Webster Calhoun district. He is
the youngest son of Ex-Governor Larrabee
of Clermont is by education a lawyer, by
vocation a farmer. No one else has asked
for the nomination from the republican
party. He will make the race against
Senator Young of Manson, already a SEN
ator from this district for three terms.
Friends claim that, according to the eS-
tabllshed custom the voters of Calhoun
county should help elect a Webster county
man, since they had had their own man in
the senate for some time.
Friends of Mr. Larrabee here are indig-
nGnt at the charge laid against him of
nstlgating the cheers for Cummins when
Senator McCumber was speaking before
the grain men. They say that Larrabee is
not taking sides either for or against Cum
minis, as he thinks the people have already
made up their minds as to their choice
and cannot be influenced

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t II In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few rea-
Ike its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of II the better; 1t is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gasses and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out Of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are com
posed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the form of
large pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health. better complexion
sweeter breath and purer blood. and the
| beauty Of II is. that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
| the contrary, great benefit
A Buffalo physician. in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: Il advise
stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
] suffering from gas in stomach and bowels
and TO clear the complexion and purify
the breath. mouth and throat 1 also be-
