His great antagonist, Lord Salisbury, has decided quite unexpectedly to call an carly session of Parliament and has cou- | sented to accept a salary of £2000 for fui- g his duties as Premier, though nom- v he receives a recompense for so do- ing, for the Lord of the Privy Seal emol- umeénts which were abolished in 1884 are his.

As a result of the delfb- erations it is probable that the obstinate ritualists will be aliowed to pursue the even tenor of their way, for the Kensit party opposed prosecutions on the ground that they were likely to retard legislation. wurchmen were to civil interfer- . The decision averts, at least tem- porarily, what threatened fo be a crisis istory of the Church of England. trovefsy in the United States the proposed change of the L\.K’ course from off Sandy Newport can be settled in one way, according to Sir Thomas Lipton’s idea, and that is by sticking to the old order of things. He said: | “I prefer Sandy Hook. I do not think | that there is a better course in the world. | 1 have never made any objection to it— | in fact, 1 bave always spoken of it in the | highest terms. No doubt the races last { year were prolonged owing to there not | being sufficient wind to finish with in the time limit. But it is my opinion that with | sufficient wind there copld not be a better irer course, and personally 1 feel that 11d be more glory in fighting the | n the oid historical course, where | we have so often been defeated. Anyhow only | there has al been sufficient breeze | for the American boats to win at Sandy | Hook, and had the Shamrock been.a speedier boat the same wind would have | brought her in first. Were I to go over a new course I could not have worse luck, €0 far as results go, than I had at Sandy Hook, and the Americans could not have better luck than”they got there. These are my personal views. The members of the New York Yacht Club are certainly the best judges, and 1 am quite willing to abide by their decision.” When questioned regarding the cable report that the Chicago packere were get- ting their revenge for the Lipton pork deal by “squeezing” him, Sir Thomas said: ““There is no truth in it. My pork busi- ness is progressing quite satisfactorily. Moreover, the Chicago dealers are much 100 good friends of mine to attempt to take ‘revenge.’ That word is used unjust- Iy, for 1 have done nothing for which ‘revenge’ is needed.

BERLIN, Nov. 17.—The attempt upon the life of Emperor William, the opening of the Reichstag and the new situation created in China by the reported willing- ness of the United States to co-operate forthwith with the powers in China gave plenty of food for discussion during the week, The Emperor's would-be assassin, from the latest reports, seems indeed to be de- mented. She was born at Larnowitz and is a Pole by nationality. She earned a living at Breslau as a peddler of woolen | socks. She had been in the habit of lock- ing herself in a room when at home, and her neighbors had heard her mumbling for hours. She had threatened to kill the landlgrd if ejected. Yesterday, before she iude the “attempt upon the Kaiser, ejectment proceedings had been taken against her, and she had bargained with a laborer for paving stones, which she wanted for the purpose of killing every- body. She subseqeuntly purchased the new hatchet with which she attempted to kill the Emperor. At the police inquiry to-day the woman | ;mswereu the questions put to her by say- | ng: “Everybody tries to murder me. There- fore I must murder the Kaiser.” All the heads of legations and embassies fu Berlin called at the palace to-day to express gratification at the escape of his Ma je The press to-day points out that the crime is devoid of pofitical feature. The China situation is viewed here rather without hope. The latest diplo- matic news from Peking emphasizes the fact that there is no reliable information there regarding the momentary intentions | of the Empress Dowager and the Em- peror, but the pre\'ufifng opinion among the envoys there is that they do not in- tend to return to Peking. Regarding the powers of Li Hung Chang and Prince hing for negotiating terms of settlement there is the strongest doubt among the envoys. The statements emanating from Wash- ington, that the United States will here- after act jointly with the powers and deprecating the reported intention to in- terpose obstacles to punitive expeditions, are received here with unanimous satis- faction, a number of the papers pointing | out that, once the Chinese court under- | stands that there is no split among the powers, it will the more willingly give them satisfaction. However, the attitude assumed by the Russian press this week, which 1s distinctly and violently hostile toward Germany, arouses disquiet here. The Cologne Volks Zeitung, in an edi- torfal article, calls tMe diplomatic situa- tion regarding China dangerous, as evi- dence exists that there is an inclination toward forming groups among the inter- ested powers. This view is borne out by the fact that the French Bishop Favier, at Peking, has undertaken a trip to Rome at the instance of the Pope, his Holiness desiring to re-establish ance’s protec- torate over the Catholic missions in China. The Pope wants an express clause. Information obtained from the highest source is io the effect that the papal nuncio at Munich, Monsignor Sam- bucetti, is coming to Berlin to make strong representation upon the subject to Emperor William. urthermore, it is learned at the Japanese legation in Berlin that Japan intends to withdraw her troops from Peking at the earliest pos sible moment, leaving only an adequate guard. 3 SKELETONS OF GIANTS IN ALASKA RIS S Ancient Cemetery Uncovered in the At li‘n Gold District. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, Nov. 17.—James L. Per- kipson, an American miner of Atlin, ar- rived here to-day with news of the find- ing of a number of skeletons in an an- cient Indian cemetery in the north, which is of startling sclentific interest. Perkin- son is one of the owners of the Yellow Jacket, a.rich claim which is supposed Lo be the fountain head of Pine, the prin- cipal creek in Atlin district. Two weeks ago the first excavations were being made for a new tunnel on the property and what appears to have been an old Indian burying ground was opened up. Five skeletons, nearly complete, were exhumed and each is the set of bones that belonged to a giant of prehistoric times. One of the skeletons measures over scven feet in length, so that the man must haye been considerably over that beight. Then there were two others of within an/inch of seven feet and the re- maining two ‘were more than six feet in length and the men were of gigantic rame. The altitude is high and the ground was half frozen, so that the bones were pre- served-almost intact. Perkinson says that he expects if they had kept on digging they would have found many more, as these were lying comparatively close Lo- gether. The bones of the fingers and toes haa crumbled away, but the finger of one skeleton hand was sufficiently strong to hold a ring of what appears to be lead or some similar base metal. The skeletons were unsually well formed, but one uni feature was that the arms were sevel inches shorter than ordinarily appears, while the size of the bones of the fore- arm was enormous in comparison to the usual_models. Beside two of the skeletons were spears, rudely shaped with a soft metal and pointed with sharp stones. The epears Were only about three feet long and five inches thick at the top. iapering at the lower end. The top contained a socket into which a wooden shaft was bly placed, in order to wield the big plece of metal.” Other pleces of stone and carved metal were found.

JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 17.—The State Board of Health has received official no- tice of two cases of yellow fever and one death at Brook Haven, the county seat of Lincoln County, and about sixty miles from here. The fatal case was that of D. Middleton. As several heu-)é frosts have occurred throughout the State no ap- prehension is felt. ————teeee The popularity of McKinley is not greater than that of the “American” clear Havena cigar. ¢ FILL CONTAOL ON SUBIG BY Custody of the Naval Station. [ Military Has Exercised Authority Over It Since the Islands Came Under American Raule. LML WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—The Navy De- partment announces that the Brooklyn has left Manila for Olongapo, on Subig Bay, where Admiral Remey will receive from General MacArthur the custody and control of the naval station situated on Subig Bay. The station was begun by the Spanish prior to the war and was designed to be an extensive establishment, ulti- mately taking the place of Cavite as the naval headquarters, as it was thought | to have superior natural defense. Since the islands have come under American | authority the military have exercised con- | trol over the station. But as it is essen- tially a naval movement the future direc- | tion of it will now be turned over to Ad- miral Remey. Various plans are before the department for making the station an important one, but it is said the present transfer does not involve any considera- tion of the developments of the station which may hereafter be undertaken. s i LIEUTENANT WOOD DEAD. | Succumbs to an Attack of Malarial | Fever in Manila. | WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—General Mac- Arthur has notified the War Department that Second Lieutenant Palmer G. Wood Jr.,, Twelfth Infantry, died of malarial fever at San Juan de Guimla, Luzon, yes- terday. Lieutenant Wood was the son of Major Palmer Wood, Forty-first Volunteer In- fentry, captain of the Twelfth Infantry. He enfered the army as a private in the Third Infantry In August, 1897, and served in the ranks in the Philippines as corporal and sergeant until September 11, 1899, when he was appointed second lieutenant in the Twelfth Infantry.

PROPOSED TAX UPON CELIBACY PSR How France May At- tempt to Cause an Increase in Population. Bpecial Cable te The Call and New York Her- ald. Copyright, 1900, by the Herald Pub- lishing Company. ) PARIS, Nov. 17.—M. Piot, a member of Parliament, whose fears have been aroused by the depopulation of France, has just introduced a bill directed against bachelors. Not satisfied with proposing rewards for large families, this honorable Deputy desires to levy fines in the shape of special taxes on those married people whose unfon has remained barren upon the single of both sexes. a distinction seems necessary, if we would be {nlt‘ As the subject lends itself to facile jokes, Parisian wit has been at no loss to point out, and that in a fashion at times somewhat light, the injustice of a proposal which assimilates in punish- ment the celibacy of man, which ts nearly always of his own volition, to the celi- bacy of woman, which in’the greatest number of cases is altogether involuntary.

There are thousands of people in this world would eat no meat from one year’s end to another, and certain savage tribes in Africa and Polynesia are almost ex- clusively meat eaters: but while there are thousands of these, there are millions who live upon a mixed diet of meat, vegetables and grains, and if numbers is a criterion it would seem that a mixed diet is the best for the human family. The lac‘x that you will find many vege- tarians who appear healthy and vigorous and meat eaters equally so, and any num- ber of robust specimens who eat both meat and vegetables and anything else that comes their way all goes to show that the old saw is the true ons, that every man must be a law to himself as to_what he shall eat and drink. , To repalr the waste of tissue in brain workers as well as to replace the muscle and sinew of the laborer, can only be done through the process of digestion. Every nerve, muscle, sinew, every drop of blood, is extracted from the food we eat and digest. In these days of hustle and worry, and artificial habits of life, scarcely one' per- son in a thousand can lay claim to a per- fest digestion; dyspepsia is a national’ af- fiiction and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a national blessing. lost cases of poor digestion are caused by failure of the stomach to secrete suf- ficient gastric juice, or too little hydro- c acld lack of n&tlonu. and all portant essentials to perfect alatable, 4 One or two of these ets taken after meals insure perfect digestion and assim- ilation of the food. £ Cathartic pills and laxative medicines have no effect whatever in dij ng food d to call such remedies a cure for flw.

A Venerable Wisconsin Lady Re- stored to Health by Peruna After Twenty-five Years’ Suffering. (Special news from Evansville, Wis.) EVANSVILLE, WIS, Nov. 1l—A woman cured of catarrh of twenty-five years' standing was the occasion of Pe- Tuna being introduced to the inhabitants of Evansville, Wis. From that time to this there has been a great demand for Peruna in this vicinity and hundreds of cases have been cured. It is in this manner that Peruna spreads trom town to town and from State to State. No sort of advertising could have given Peruna the reputation it has. The sSecret of its success is that 1t makes cures. It cures old cases of catarrh where other remedies have failed. This ought to make any remedy popular. Mr. C. R, Harden of Evansville, Wis., writes the following letter: “Dear Doctor Hartman—"I wish to write to certify what Peruna has done for me.

ELGIN, ILL.—In a very recent com- munication from this place comes news that Mr. Arthur Ernest Kidd, known architect of that city, has made complete recovery from catarrh of the head from which he had suffered nearly a quarter of a century. Accord- ing to Mr, Kidd's statement of his own | case Peruna has scored another victory over a case of chronic catarrh of long standing. He writes the follow- ing from 18 Ham- {lton ave.: “I am 42 years ot age, and “have had catarrh of the head for over half of my Ilife, as a result of scarlet fevdr, fol- lowed by typhoid fever. I got so bad that 1 was almost constantly coughing and tlearing my throat. The ca- tarrh greatly im- ired my eye- sight and the hearing in one ear, and re- duged my weight to 110 pounds. “I tried nearly every catarrh remedy advertised, besides a great many differ- ent physicians' treatments, all of which failed, ‘and the physicians’ would finally tell me that I could not be cured in this climate; that I ought to go to a dry cli- mate, ete. “I had heard and read of Peruna, and finally decided to try it two months ago.

We think there nothing like Peruna.” In a recent letter Mr. Harden write We keep Peruna always in the house, as it cured us both of catarrh of long standing. We have callers every little while to Inquire as to what Peruna has done for us. I say: ‘Look at us. That is x;rootdenouxh.' “I send you a picture of my residence. I helped Duila a house tn Tows City on the first of last June, and worked eighty- two days, only losing one-quarter of a day dunng the whole time. How is that for old man 77 years old?

Peruna can be relled upon to cure sligh colds and coughs and other catarrhal ments with & promptness that |is equaled by any other remedy. If a cold has settled in any portion of the body and produced catarrh, it is gen- erally thought by people that they must suffer on year after year without ; hope of cure. This is not true, howe Peruna cures such cases. Thousands testimonials that can never be used at- test this fact. .

In the interest of the good relations be- tween the United States and France Sec- retary of State John Hay is believed to have taken action to dissipate the feel- ing aroused in the latter country by the blication of information that the War epartment is In possession of the secret of the French field gun mechanism. Pres- ident McKinley and his Cabinet advisers. heartily approve the statement issued by the American Embassador in Paris, but they are disappointed that the effect has not been more marked. In conversation with the President rep- resentative officials are inclined to speak lightly of the incident, terming it “a tem- pest in a teapot.”” At the same time tho international feature of the affair mslght ossibly assume a serious aspect and it s to prevent any such contingency, how- ever remote, that the authorities gre en- deavoring to impress the Paris Govern- ment with the fact that no agent of the United States secured possession of the pians of the gun. As The Call_has stated Captain I. N.
