Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who was an active member of the Parliamentary committee which inguired into the Jame son raid, followed. Sir Witliam'said: “On the very face of it the former com- mittee’s report did not find that there had been a full inquiry, as indeed there had not been. The suspicions against the Office were not tke work of adversaries, or rather of men, their own objects, stuck at the way of mendacity, for- fraud.

Dr. Jameson told Sir John Willoughby, a man of unquegtioned | honor, that the Government was behind | the raid, and Dr. Jameson has not de- nied it." [ "5r. Chamberlain—Yes, he has.” ir William Vernon Harcourt continued: The insurrection was promoted by the foulest frauds. Was there ever any- Colonial political who, for to thing so abominable as the Rhodes tele- gram to Jameson, two days before the raid, putting in his mouth the lie about the ' obje: of the raid? When the Colonial Secretary, after tne raid, asked for an inspection of the telegrams, Hawksley wrote back that this was un- necessary, as the Colonial Secretary knew all. Therefore suspicions were set atloat by the agents of Rhodes, but then there was no suggestion that they were covered by the complicity of the Colonial Office. That is what I want to have shown up. I want the transactions of these men brought to light. Rhodes has deceived everybody. The raid was made by gold and les.” The House rejected the motion to reopen the inquiry by a vote of 256 against 152. |LORDS REJECT THE MILITIA BALLOT SCHEME ground upon which an inquiry was asked | was on account of the “precious collection y ts” published by the Indepen- Beige, offered for sale to various papers.

Sald the admiral: “Fortifications? Why, of course not. As I understand it, the canal is to be— and should be—a neutral commercial highway between the two great oceans. To fortify it would simply result in mak- ing it a battle-ground In case of war. Fortifications would be enormously ex- pensive and ought not to be erected. Our fieets would be a sufficient guarantee of neutrality and the safety of the canal in time of war as well as in peace.” Admiral Dewey is averse to making statements upon public questions, and, in- deed, has lately declined to be interviewed on any question: but In the course of a conversation with him this afternoon re- garding the pending treaty and canal he consented to make the foregoing state- and in consequence no foreign vessel mgy enter there. The mnearest port is St. Michael. As matters now stand, on ac- count of the convenlence of making the through trip, practically all the traffic | for Cape Nome would beé carried in Amer- ican vessels from San Francisco, although it is possible that British shippers might attempt to repeat their efforts in the days when Juneau was the nearest port to Dyea and Skaguay. At that time on sev- eral qccasions they were permitted to take on board at their own expense deputy collectors of the United States to accompany them. This might possibly be done at Dutch Harbor or St. Michael if Cape Nome should not be made a sub- port. ment because of his positive conviction s L aar COTIMILtEs On MrTta DA ey opposiilon to the pending treaty on public building at Tacoma, Wash. — e LIVED TO BE ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR YEARS OF AGE Special Dispatch to The Call, SAN JOSE, Feb. 20.—Mrs. Petrovello Segunda, aged 104 years, died In this city yesterday of appendicitis.

DYING MAN IS SENT TO PRISON AT SAN QUENTIN Pitiable Condition of an Octogenarian, Suffering With a Fata Disease. : Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Feb, 20.—Last night the gates of the peniten- tiary closed for seven years on A. F. Soap, an octogenarian, and judging from the old man’'s pitiable condition they are unlikely to 1eopen for him except to permit the passing out of his coffin. The aged man presented a terriblc sight as he was led Into the yard. His face is very badly scarred with ‘cancer and his weakness Is such that he is scarcely capable of dragging one leg after another, yet the deputy who brought him from San Bernardino, where the crime for which Le |'nu-t pay the penalty was committed, had his prigoner shackled hand and oot. Indignant comment concerning Soap’s pitiful case is being voiced all over the prison and village. Dr. Casey, the prison physicien, after an examination of the old man, had him sent to the hospital. The doctor states that Soap’s days are numbered, the cancer having progressed too far to be checked by any means known to medical science. - The crime for which Soap must suffer is manslaughter. He says that he is 88 years of age. 5 SRR IR RN Ne NeQ i . {spatan - - Rarlroads ST - - Boundary Lines > Do+ 900060460 +4666006000 6600000000+ edede tiededed B e o L e o e e e e Y ] Secenagar (MaShnite L R e R R R R R T S o R R S S S KRUSSIA EVER MOVING ON TOWARD INDIA.

A new remedy which may revolutionize the treatment of stomach troubles has been placed before the public and bears t of many leading physi- clans and scientific men. This pgeparation is not a wonderful dis- covery mor yet a secrét patent medicine, neither is it claimed to cure anything ex- | cept dyspepsia, indigestion and | troubles, with which nine-tenths of our nation are more or less affected The remedy is In the form of pleasant- | tne endorseme stomach tasting tablets or lozenges containing vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin (free from animal impurities), Golden Seal and diatase. They are soid by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting experiments made with these tablets show that they possess remarkable digestive power, one grain of | the active principle in one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets being sufficlent to thoroughly digest 3000 grains of lean meat, eggs, oatmeal or similar wholesome food. Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the bowels like after-dinner pills and cheap cathartics, which simply irritate and in- flame the intestines, without having any effect whatever in curing indigestion. If the stomach can be rested and as- sisted in the work of digestion it will very soon recover its normal vigor, as no or- gan is so much abused and overworked as the stomach. This ls the secret and the whole secret of the remarkable success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy practically unknown a few years ago and now the most popular, safest and most widely sold of any treatment for stomach weakness. This success has been secured entirely upon its merits as a digestive, pure and simple; because there can be no stomach trouble if the food is promptly digested. Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely upon the food eaten, digesting it com- pletely, so that it can be assimilated into blood, nerve and tissue. Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissue In the body can be renewed in but one way, and that is from whole- some food properly digested. There is no other way, and the idea that a medicina in itself can purify the blood or supply new tissues and strong nerves is ridicu- lous and on a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia is a germ disease or that other fallacy—that a weak stomach which re- fuses to digest food can be made to do so by irritating and inflaming the bowels by pills and cathartics. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyspep- sia, water brash, sour stomach, catarrh of the stomach, gas and bloating after meals, because they furnish the diges- tive power, which is the one thing that weak stomachs lack, and unless that lack is supplied it is useless to attempt to as- sist it by the use of “tonies,” “pills” and cathartics, which have absolutely no di- gestive power and do not claim to have any. 'X"h. regular use of one or two of Stu- art's Dyspepsia Tablets, after meals, will demonstrate their merit and efficiency better than any other argument. They are so'd by druggists everywhere, and a little booklet on cause and cure of stomach troubles will be mailed free addressing F. A. Stuart Co., Mars Mich. SHOL'LDUII nuuu.u
