DANGER To the European Resident la China. London special: British consuls at Hankow and King Po sent alarming aispatcnes to tno t;orernment, stating that European residents a .-e in peril. The Evening iews published a sensa tional statement that the Cabinet Council was called to consider a dis patch from Minister O'Connor in which it is stated that Russia is interveatmr to assist China against Japan in return for the ce-sion to Russia of certain ports of Corea. If this is true, the EveninT lews adds, it will be a question of sending first-class British men-of-war to China to thwart Russian intentions. There is no confirmation of these statements from other sources. It is announced upon authority, that the Cabinet Council, after discussing the state of a .airs in China decided to send troops to that country in order to protect Brtisi interes 9. It is also frobable that additional ships will be sent to strengthen the fleet in Chinese waters under the command of Admiral Fremantle. It is a so said that in consequence of information re ceived ty tne t'aoinet. tne isritisn legation at Pekin will shortly be guarded by Brit sh blue jackets ana native Indian soldiers. Burned and Koasted by a Mve Wire. A horrible electrocution was witnessed on Congress street. Boston, by hundreds of 1 eople. Charles E. Day, a lamp trimmer in the employ of the Boston Electric Light Comp .ny, was cleaning a lamp and had hitched himself to the top of a pole, when attention was called to him bv a faint cry. Day was seep to be helpless and unconscious. In a few seconds he was limp, and a blue name was emitted from nls eyes, nose, moutn, and ears. Several unlookers tried to get up the pole, and one young man succeeded in touching tne body when he dropped to the rnnd, receiving paintui in uries. A. Mumes started up the pole, and reached Day's body wflen he received a shock and fell thirty feet to the ground, striking on his head, fractur ing his skull. He died shortly afterward. It was more than a half hour before Day 8 body, now terribly "burned, was lowered to the ground and taken to the morgue. Submarine Eruption. The schooner Lila and Mattie, which has arrived at San Francisco, from Conqnille River reports a remarkable experience at sea. The schooner was lying off the coast becalmed. The sea was perfectly smooth, when suddenly a loud ru 1 biing noise was heard and the schooner commenced to pitch violently. Although there was no wind, a heavy sea sprang up almost in stantly ana the schooner was thrown about in a manner that threatened the safety of her mast. After a short time the sea went down and all was calm as before. The supposition is that the schooner experienced a submarine earthquake. The schooner Excelsior reports the same experience as the Lila and Mattie. Thrown Up by the Sea. A special from Key West says that fifty aead Dodies from the wrecks occurring on the reefs during the recent storm, have been washed ashore on the islands around Key West. The dead it is stated, are evidently sailors from the vessels destroyed, although the length o time which has elapsed since the storm has rendered the bodies unidentifiable through decomposition. The probabilities are that many more of these ghastly evidences o. the hurricane's lury will be brought to light in a few days. The boiler connected with the pile driver on the Louisville and Jeffersonyille bridge at Louisville, exploded, and five persons were badly injured. The accident was due to the crown sheet blowing out. Among those injured were two engineers, who are supposed to be fatally scalded. Captured the Gang-.

Pullmau suggested no remedy, us he take; tho position tnut n.i nutsldo rom.xly can be brought In bet em employer and employed. The commission Is free to dmil with the question of remedies outside of those suggested at tho hearings, but tho testimony brought out every concelvablo plan and It is not ncceamry to go beyond thoso suggested. "It will be fi'r tho public to say Knottier the Inquiry results in benefit. added Sin Kenan, "but It will certainly be beneficial In giving tho public exhaustive information on the causes and incidents of the great strike, and intelligent Information Is the first step towards remedial legislation.

Gone to I'ot. The origin of the phrase "Gone to pot," has been traced t ) an old story about a tailor of Mimarcand, who lived near the gate of tho city on the road leading to tho cemetery. It is said that this knight of the shears had outside his cottage an earthenware pot. Into which ho dropped a pebble for every corpse that pas.-ed by, and at tlio end or each ih.miii counted the number. At length the tailor himself died, and his neighbors remarked, "1 oor fellow, ho uow is gone to pot also." Take No Chances. Col. Ingersoll once called upon the Rev.

-AND-

StomachLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. It Is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced Into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of tho Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely Bdlved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonio qualities which it possesses, and by its g."At curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonio as a builder and strengthener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strcngthener and curative is of inestimable value to tho aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of thoso who will use ft half dozen bottles of the remedy each year. IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

Nervousness, Nervous Prostration, Nervous Headache, Sick Headache, Female Weakness, Nervous Chills, Paralysis, Nervous Paroxysms and Nervous Choking, Hot Flashes, Palpitation of the Heart, Mental Despondency, Sleeplessness, St. Vitus' Dance, Nervousness of Females, Nervousness of Old Age, Neuralgia, Pains in the Heart, Pains in the Back, Failing Health,

Summer Complaint of Infants.

All these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic. NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonie, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all tho power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous derangement.
