IRISH ENVOYS ARE CONFIDENT Redmond and Devlin Talk of the Coming Use of Force. At Last England Begins to Realize the Extent of the Agitation. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YOR! Feb. 10.—Willlam K. Redmond, M. P., and Joseph Devlin, the Irish envoys, who arived on the White Star steamship Cymric, were escorted from the vessel to the Hoffman House to- day by a delegation of prominent mem- bers of various Irish societies. Redmond is enthusiastie over the rapid growth of the United Irish League and did not attempt to disguise the fact that physical force will be used when the time comes for an uprising in Ireland. “When to assert their independence the Irish finally unite,” said he, “it will be with such force of arms as they never have shown before. The English now real- ize the extent of our movement, and Salisbury spoke truly when he said Eng- land feared the Irisn more than she did the Boers. They talk ‘of reducing our representation of eighty in Parliament to sixty. If they do, the sixty remaining will make as much noise as the eighty do now.” On Sunday evening there will be a mass meeting at the Academy of Music. W. Bourke Cockran is expected to preside. In Boston Mayor Patrick A. Collins will be chairman. Devlin said the league now had en- rolled 700,000 members, and he believed he did not exaggerate when he predicted a membership in the near future of ten million. Redmond and Devlin will remain in this city until March 2. Then they go to Boston. From that city they will pro- ceed to Baltimore and thence to Chicago, where there will be a monster meeting on March 17, St. Patrick’s da Redmond was two days late in arriving, the Cymric being delayed by gales.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Tom Finerty of the Williamsburg team in the six-day walking match at Madison Square Garden 2nd Gus Guerrero had a fist fight on the track early this evening.

The garden was in an uproar and all the racers stopped. The police inter- fered and the walkers got down to walk- ing, but as Guerrero passed Finerty on a spurt be struck the latter in the face.

PROCF TO SHOW | MUDDY G LORD PAUNGEFOTE many Vetoed Embas- sador’s Scheme. - Emperor William Flatly Re- fuses to Interfere Between America and Spain. BERLIN, Feb. 10.—The official North German Gazette this evening joins in the controversy regarding the attitude of the several powers previous to the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. It says Lord Pauncefote’s proposals April 14,1898, to send a collective note to the Govern- ment of the United States declaring American intervention in Cuba to be un- Jjustifiable is a historical fact, and the Ga- zette proceeds to characterize as absurd the “‘attempt now being made to obscure and dispute an event which did not occur in the presence of the representatives of only two powers, but on which the repre- sentatives of all the powers at Washing- ton, after reachifig an agreement, report- ed to thelr respective governments April 14, 1898, simultaneously and identically.” The German officlal declaration in the North German Gazette is, a direct conse- quence of the incredulity expressed by American and English newspapers regard. ing the disclosures from here of the a tion of Lord Pauncefote of April 14, 1898, If this declaration is replied to by Great Britain the documents relating to the matter will undoubtedly be published. In official circles here it is deemed best to wait and see how the statement published this evening in the North German Ga- zette s received. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that a transcript of the dis patch from Dr. von Holleben, the German Embassador at Washington, communicat- ing the proposal of Lord Pauncefote was sent to Emperor Willlam immediately after its receipt, and that the Emperor announced his flat refusal on the margin. The correspondent added, ‘‘But for the action of Emperor William, Lord Paunce- fote’s proposal would have been accept- ed by the other powers.” The German Government considers that although its attitude is no more than cor- rect it is quite unwilling that its course should be misunderstood. OLD-TIME BALL PLAYER DYING OF CONSUMPTION Charles Sweeney, Once One of the Best Known Diamond Stars, Slowly Passing Away. Charles Sweeney, the old-time ball- player, was taken to the City and County Hospital last night to await the final Summons of death which is fast approach- ing. Sweeney is in the last stages of con- sumption, and death will soon remove one of the best-known ‘“stars” of the palmy days when the national game reigned supreme. 3 Sweene: first hit was made when a | member of the old Eagles in the early eighties. Then he went East, joining of its time. Sweeney was the greatest pitcher of the day and was known from Maine to California. Drink and dissipation soon got the bet- ter of him and forced him to retire from the diamond. He came back to this city and in 1894 mixed in a row in a Third-street saloon and shot _and killed a man named Mec- Manus. He was tried and sentenced to eight years in San Quentin. Since his re- lease Sweeney has been in ill health and his friends have managed to keep him from want. — Yanger Outclasses Bernstein.

Impeirment of bearing robs one of many of the joye of life, exposes to danger, interferes with cepacity for usefulness, limits ability to transsct business and earn a living. Many anpually abandon their plans, smbitions and hopes on account of loss of hearing. In nearly every case of partial or complete Beafness there is another feature that to many i& more troublesome than the difficulty of hear- ing—the distracting head nolses. These make such an impression on some &8 to almost drive them insane. The everlasting burzing, ring- ing, snapping, rumble or roar distracts them by day and prevents rest at might. Nine cases out of ten of head nofses and progressive hardness of hegring are due to catarrh of the middle ear or of the tube ledding from it to the throa:. Tt should be understood and constantly torne ir mind that to restore the hearing and silanze the distracting noises a treatment Is required that will allay inflammation in the eustachian tubes, reduce “the congestion and swelling and stop the secretion of mucus sc that the tubes will be and keep open for the free passage Of air into the middle ear. Nc locally applied medicine will effectually do this, orly a searching constitutional alterative and resolvent will cure catarrh in the deep recesses of the head. Two mcquaintances of the writer were run @own snd killed by the cars in one year. Both hed catarth of the head, which had extended up the eustachian fubes, leading from the throat to the middle ear, and were quite hard of heming. Tn both cases the Coroner's jury decided that they came to their death be- eause of inability to bear and heed signals that were intended for them. What happened to them is of frequent occurrence, and in threz cases out of four might Wave been pre- vented by the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tsblets cure all kinds of catarrh. They ©an be bought at any drug store for 50 cents & That Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets do effectually cure catarrh of the eustachian tubee and the head ncises and deafness resulting ‘therefrom is attested. by the following: Mrs. Jane Barlow, the famous modiste, says: 1 firally had to give up personal attention to my customerz, and in consequence many of them went olsewhere. I was in despair, for spacialists seemed poweriess to help me. Stu- art’s Catarrh Tablets cured me in just a little while s0 completely that now I hear as weil as ever.” Army Surgeon C. §. Beverly became so deaf from catarrh that he was forced to resign his position and abandon his profession. He says: —"Of covrse my iuherent professional preju- dice was hard to overcome, but knowing of the xreat benefit you had recelved, my dear General, through the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, I used them. The great and almost immediate rellef I experfenced was truly astorishing. I am now entirely cured ani have no fear of the disease returning. I go back to my old post next month.” Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets have done it, do do it, will do it. Try them and be convinced. They are for sale at any drug store at 50 cents a box.

VER a track that was very muddy and inclined to be holding, with here and there a dry patch, it could not be expected that horses would run true to form, and a number of rank outsiders in the betting annexed purses at Oakland yesterday. In fact, The Weaver and Dr. Boyle were the only successful favorites. Any number of warm tips were floating about, espe- clally one on Barnato, a starter in the fifth event, all of which served to keeh the attendance up to the average, even in the face of threatening weather. “Longshot” Conley landed Loyal 8, a 30 to 1 shot, winner at the wire a length before the even money favorite, Arigato, in the opening mile selling run. At the start the first choice swerved and was among _the tail-enders around the first turn, Redfern rushed him along down the back stretch, but could not overhaul the outsider, which won all the way. Johnny Humphrey's little gelding, Mar- aschino, always meets one a pound or two better in the races he starts in. The Weaver went to the post an even money choice for the Futurity course sprint next to be decided, and beat Mara- schino handily at the wiré, making the fourth time the latter has finished sec- ond. Vasallo ran a poor third. No excuses could be offered for Mar- cato, the even money favorite for the seven-furlong run. Bullman got the aged cripple away flying, but could not brush off Castake, ridden by little Knapp, and in a hard drive lost the verdict by a were played mose. The winner's odds from 5 down to 7 to 2. Flamero finished third. " ever much of a weight packer, Decoy, a 6 to 5 favorite for the mile selling run, ran second to The Gaffir, a 15 to 1 shot, ably piloted by Johnny Hoar. Burns, who rode the first choice, was cut off at the first turn and compelled to take his mount up. For a time Chandoo looked like the one to beat, but Hoar made a short cut into the stretch with The Gaffir and at the wire won by two open lengths. Es- ternell, away none too well, ran a fair fourth. All becausé he was reported to have outworked Autolight and had beén given his “prep” by Green Morris, which made it an assured thing that Winnie O’Connor would ride, Barnato, a rejuvenated crip- ple, was plunged on to win the six-furlong seliing affair. So hot was it and so widely circulated that the books laid 8 to 35 opening. Later on 3 to 1 could be had. Despite O'Connor’s riding, the good thing couldn’t raise a gallop, and was eased up through the stretch. Bullman on Dr. Boyle jumped away in the lead and was not caught, downing Bard Burns a couple of lengths. Tiburon disposed of The Miller for show honors. Johnny Hoar turned in Educate winner of the last number, making his second first for the afternoon. The mare went to the post second choice to Relna ds Cuba, and led from start to finish. After once looking like a winner, Alzura lost the place to Clarando. Track Notes. Starter Dick Dwyer ‘‘cut in” for his two weeks with the gate and made five very pretty starts. M. H. Tichenor and L. M. Newgass, comprising the widely known Western racing firm of Tichenor & Newgass, were visitors at_the track yesterday. Barney Schreiber feit a_trifie - out of sorts yesterday because his name was used in connection with that of Danny Lynch in describing the win of The Oaks by Muresca, and no doubt not without some reason. Barney says he started Satchel and held O'Connor to his en- gagement because he thought the filly had a chance to get third money, and never had a thought of depriving W. M. Rogers of the rider's services. Had the owner of Colonial Girl stated the facts to him, the St. Louis penciler stated he would very likely have scratched his en- try, which would have permitted O'Con- nor to accept the mount on the Rogers entry. Barney says his name was once connected with the energetic Steve L’Hommedieu and he longs for no more notorfety in that line.

Patrick, accused of the murder of William Marsh Rice, which was inter- rupted last week by the iliness of a juror, was resumed to-day. When court was adjourned last Tuesday Dr. H. B. Loom- is, a pathological expert, was on the stand and his cross-examination was con- tinued to-day. On direct examination he said the condition of Rice's lungs was due, in his opinion, to the inhalation of chloroform or some like irritant. The cross-examination brought out a number of technical points concerning the effects of chloroform on the blood. On redirect examination the witness said he knew of no natural_cause of death that could have caused the symptoms shown by the autopsies on Rice’s body. While Toomis was not prepared to say that Rice did not die of disease, he as- serted that the examination he made did not disclesc any disease. Max Hunke, who made the fluid used in embalming Rice's body, testified that the ontain mercury. fl‘.‘!‘.;]hflfdn.n%ofzs‘?'n lawyer, iestified that he had Known Patrick since 1870. They became irtimate in 18%0. In September, 1900, the witness boarded in the same house with Patrick and they had offices in the same suite. The witness never saw Rice in_Patrick’s office; in fact, he never saw Rice at all. Potts said he knew Morris Meyer and David L. Short, whose names were signed to the 1900 Rice will as witnesses, and that Charles F. Jones, the valet-secretary, was introduced to him by Patrick in the spring of 1900. On_September 17, 1800, Patrick said: “That rich client of mine has made a will making me a residuary legatee.” On the same day he showed Potts an assignment of Rice’s property, a paper showing the settlement of the contest of Mrs. Rice's will, and other papers, among them several checks in blank signed with Rice’s name and payable to Patrick. Potts identified the 1900 will as a paper Patrick showed him to prove the state- ment that his rich client had made him residuary legatee of all his estate. “What did you say to Patrick?’ “I said, ‘Albert, my boy, you're a lucky dog,” and I shook hands with him. Then a thought came to me and I said: ‘I don’t | Mrs. R. G. think a_will like that is good for any- thing. tees? He replied: “I'hat's all The estate is practically mine.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 10.—Despondent be- cause of jllness F. R. Wittenberg en- tered St. James Park at 3 o'clock this afternoon and shot himself through the head. A number of passers-by witnessed the tragedy, but almost before they could reach Wittenberg's side he was dead. Wittenberg, with his wife and daugh- ter, came to San Jose from Eureka, Nevada, a few months ago. He was suf- fering from asthma and had been under 4 doctor’s care ever since his arrival. When the passers-by reached Witten- berg's side they found lying on the grass a letter to the Coroner.” In it the suicide asked that his wife, who resided on North Eighth street, be notified. The letter said that his sufferings were such that he could no longer endure life. He asked that the lodges he belonged to be notified, and that his body be cremated. Wittenberg was a native of Germany and 65 years of age. He was a_member ffdthe Ktm%hts ‘?f P)};lhlas Tg\d ‘Workmen odges of Eureka, Nev. a_son reside in Ereka, .

Manager Kruttschnitt Says That the Plans Will Not Fe Altered. SALT LAKE, Feb. 10.—A conference was held here to-day between a commit- tee representing the Commercial Club of this city and a party of railroad officials, consisting of President Burt of the Union Pacific, General Manager Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific, Chief Engineer Ber- ry of the Union Pacific and Chief En- gineer Hood of the Southern Pacific. At the wmeeting, which was arranged by Kruttschnitt at the request of the Com- mercial Club, arguments were presented by the business men of this city favoring the construction by the Southern Pacific Company of a line around the south shore of the Great Salt Lake instead of via the contempiated Ogden-Lucin cut-off. Among the arguments presented in favor of mak- ing this city the terminus of the Southern Pacific were the commercial importance of Salt Lake and the engineering difficul- ties to be overcome in building the Luein cut-off. Kruttschnitt is quoted as informing the committee that the advantages and dis- advantages of both routes had been thor- oughly studied by ithe company's en- gineers and that they had finally reported in favor of the Ogden-Lucin route. Earlier in the day the railroad officials met a number of representative business men of Ogden in that city and heard state- ments favoring the Lucin cut-off. The idea of the Ogden-Lucin cut-off originated with the late C. P. Huntington, who was president of the Southern Pa- cific. The construction of this line will necessitate the building of many miles of trestle over the lake, but will result in shortening the road some forty miles and the elimination of the heaviest grades along the entire route.

Poison Ivy are among the best known of the many dangerous wild plants and_shrubs. To touch or handle them quickly producesswelling and inflammation with in- tense itching and burning of theskin. The eruption soon disappears, the suf- ferer hopes forever; but almost as soon as the little blisters and pustules appeared the poison had reached the blood, and will break out at regular intervals and each time in a more aggra- vated form. This poison will loiter in the system for years, and every atom of it must be forced out of the blood before you can expect a perfect, permanent cure. FOR Nature’s Poisons, is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is com- ed exclusively of rootsand herbs, Now is the time to get the poison out of your system, as delay makes your condition worse. Don't experiment longer with salves,washes and soaps—they never cure. Mr. S. M. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta (Ga.) Gas Light Co., was poisonsd with Poison Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various other drugs, and lgplietf externally numerous lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the swelling and inflammation was 80 severe he was almost blind. For eight years the poison would break out every season. His condition was much improved after taking one bottle of S. 8. S., and a few bottles cleared his blood of the polson, and all evidences of the disease disappeared. People are often poisoned without knowing when or how. Explain your case fully to our physicians, and they will cheerfully give such information and ad- vice as you require, without charge, and we will send at the same time an interest- ing book on Blood and Skin Diseases, THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
