ANDREW DUTCHER. On Jan. 3 Mr. Dutcher, Counsellor-at-Law, of 487 3d St., Brooklyn, wrote: S have been a su - flerer from catarrh for about six years, and have tried many rem- led ‘cures’ without relief. nth ago Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey was recommended to me, to try it.

Wilbelm's Real Intentions Cloaked by Display of “Zeal for Moroccan “‘Open Door.” PoD st Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, April 8—With leading Russian journals advocating a new triple alliance between Russia, Ger- many and Japan, and the French press almost to a paper declaring that the Franco-Russian alliance has lost ils raison d'etre, is “reduced to a farce” and is becoming “‘the jest of the world,” the political atmosphere is far from clear. i One of the most significant incidents is the severe tone adopted by leading Italian journals toward the Kalser's “chronic theatricalism,” the Tribuna advising him to confine his energies of that ilk to writing plays. I Whatever view may prevail in Wash- ington as to the motive of the Kaiser's insistence upon the open door in North- west Africa, British and French experts believe he has only & minor interest in that feature of the case. “The German Emperor,” says Jaures in the Humanite, “has vast desigas in Central Europe that he imagines' he is serving by a hypocritical display of zeal for the commercial principle in Morocceo, to whose defense France was long ago committed. He seeks.to use Tangier as a pawn in his game for Hel- land and Denmark.” Two years have elapsed since an anonymous contributor to the Morning Post, probably Sir Charles Dilke, threw out the astonishing suggestion that Germany was anxious to place Russla under such obligations that when the time came for the absorption of the Netherlands by the German Emperor there would be no opposition from St. Petersburg. Events have shown the soundness of the observation, and Lon- don and Paris are convinced that when Emperor Wiliiam gave Nicholas assur- ances which enabled the latter to with. draw troops from the German frontier he obtained Russiai$ permission not to resist, even morally, his scheme. Careful analysts of the international situation believe the Kaiser!s pro-+ gramme of absorption—twice publicly. avowed by Count von Bulow—was. checked by the Anglo-French and Franco-Italian rapprochements, but the | opinion prevails that he wilt offer France a free hand in Morocco, despite all his lambuoyance, on condition that she will not veto his darling project. There is not the slightest chance of the plot being carried out, though it might have been had not the Anglo- Japanese alliance revolutionized = the relative positions of the great powers and called into observance a new one intensely hostile to Germany. ; French behavior under exasperating conditions is exciting the admiration of the Britons. “It would be a serious n‘istake,“ says | & week’s end journal, “to interpret this singular moderation of all classes in France as indicative of fear of the war lord. The cause Is to be found in the underztanding with England; but there is another factor—the change in the point of view of intelligent men under the influence of republican principles. The republic has taught Frenchmen to govern themselves,” COURT CORRCES CODNTY “DADS" Special Dispatch to The Cali. BRIGHTON. Colo., April 8—Because the County Commissioners of Adams County did not honor a requisition for a filing cabinet issued by County Judge Gutheil, they were fined $50 each and ordered to jail by the Judge yvesterday. John Benbow, ldward Fitzpatrick and Frank Purse are the Commissioners. There has been friction between the Commissiorers and the Judge. A few weeks ago the court decided that it needed a filing cabinet. The Commis- sioners were asked for it, but failed to realize the importance of the request. * Yesterday morning the Judge issued citations requiring them to show rea- som for their action. The Sheriff found the Commissioners in consultation con- cerning another matter. The hour for appearance not having been specified, they did not go immediately to the courtroom. After luncheon the Judge issued attachments for contempt against the Commissioners, and these were: served.. The -court flned them $50 each. County Attorney Pierce zave notice of &ppeal. The court re-, fused to recognize the motion, and an application for a writ of supersedeas was suggested, but on account of the absence of the court sterographer no record of the trial was kept and papers could not be prepared. Finally the Commigsioners apologized, afd the Judge remitted the fines during good behavior. He got the file. | FIRE IN A DRY KILN CAUSES HEAVY LOSS Property of the Buckeye Lumber Com- pany, North of Spokane, Is = - SPOKANE, Wash,, April 8.—Fire which started to-day-in the dry kiln of the Buckeye Lijumber Company at Buckeye, about fifteen miles north of Spokane, destroyed the plant, causing a loss estimated at $80,000, with 850,000 insurance.
