Loud followed the sea, most of that time as master of a vessel, and upon retiring from the water was appointed by the Secretary of the United States Treasury to superintend the seal fisheries In Alaska, which position he held tivo years. He relates one experience as follows: “For several years I had been troubled with general nervousness and pain in the region Os my heart. My greatest affliction was sleeplessness; It was almost impossible at any time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen Dr. Mlles’ remedies advertised I began using Nervine After taking a small quantity the benefit received was so great that I was positively alarmed, thinking the remedy contained opiates which would finally bo injurious to me; but on being assured by the druggist that it was perfectly harmlevs I continuedltiogether with the Heart Cure. Today I can conscientiously say that. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and New Heart Cure did more for me than anything I had ever taken. I had been treated by smhient uhyslclans In New York and San Francisco without benefit. I owe my present good health to the judicious use of these most valuable remedies, j and heartily recommend them to all afflicted as I was."—Capt. A. P. Loud. Hampden, Me.

Billing agents for the Fort Wayne races were at work in our city today putting up paper for the big six-day race meeting which occurs August 27 to Sept. 1. The Fort Wayne races have grown to be the big annual event in northern Indiana, and this year all things have conspired to make them bigger and better than ever. There are no other meetings anywhere in the west that conflict with them and this insures an unprecedented list i of entries of the very highest class of horses. Some idea of the character of the races this year can be gathered from the fact that the seven stake events, which closed A-prll 1, had 240 entries, all the principal stables in the country haying,nominations. Entries to the.class races, of which there are thirteen, dose on Angus* 14, and the management expect a very large entry list to these events. •Negotiations are now pending which may briugAlix andßyland T together in the free-for-all on Thursday. The Saulsbtirry stable, to which Alix belongs, lias a large number of entries at Fort .Wayne and the owner of Ryland T has slgntfloil liis intention of coining, so<hat the meeting of these two cracks is almost an assured fact. Should the race be brought about it is certain to attract more attention than any event vvhieh has been trotted on any track in years. Tell all jour friends that you see, and write those that you don't pee, that Fort Wayne, Ind., wtll celebrate its One Iliiiidreth Anniversary, Oct. 9th, 10th and I.lth, 1894, and that all railroads will give excursion rates upon | those dates. 1 ‘

THE NEW ENACTMENTS What Congress Has Accomplished During the Present Session, ABSORBING TARIFF BILL Question* Considered That Ordinarily Would Hare Attracted Greater Attention — General Legislation Engrafted Upon Appropriation Hille—Repeal of Federal Election Law*. Washington, Aug. 6.—Congress, before which the absorbing question has been the tariff, had np to Saturday accomplished much that ordinarily would have attracted greater attention. One of the most important acts of the session, passed by a strictly party vote, was the act repealing all laws creating federal supervisors of elections or defin- ■■ ing their powers. Appropriation bills, which are of first importance, were no exception in that upon them has been engrafted general legislation. The postoffice department bill, the first to pass, authorized the postmaster general to allow postmasters of the first and second class to disburse at their discretion the amount allowed their offices and admitted to mails publications of benevolent and fraternal societies as second class. The pension bill regulated fees and methods of examining boards, the naval bill empowered the president to fill certain vacancies and prescribed the methods of appointment to naval jschools by the secretary of the navy. "*Several measures were enacted in accordance with recommendations of the Dockery commission (so-called) for improving and amplifying the methods of doing government business. Most important were those changing the method of auditing accounts in the treasury department. improving the methods of accounting in the postoffice department and changing the money order system, and that regulating the making of property returns by officers of the government. Five Deficiency Bills. w T|jp diplomatic and consular bills changed several salaries. Nothing important was attached to the fortifications bill. The agricultural bill provided for distribution of seeds. The river and harbor, general deficiency and sundry civil bills have not gone to the president. One deficiency bil| contained legislation relating to suspension of pensioners without 30 days’ notice against them. Five deficiency bills have been necessary during the session. The first was for §127,000 for treasury janitors and custodians and $200,000 for mileage for members. The second, signed the same day, included $745,000 for the treasury, $300,000 for customs service, $200,000 for pension service, $300,000 tor the census and $200,000 for public printing. The third carried a total of §770,000, the fourth $1,451,000 and the fifth bill §310.000 for various departments." Two resolutions appropriating $50,000 and SIO,OOO for enforcing the. Chinese exclusion act. approved Dec. 7, 1893, and April 4, 1894. As most of the appropriation bills had not passed at the beginning of the fiscal year, Julj’ 1, it was necessary to extend by»- resolution all appropriations for the necessary operations of the government, for pensions and for the District of Columbia. They were twice extended for 30 days aud once for 15. Two special appropriation bills for salaries of employes was necessary, and one for the ex pauses of investigation ordered by the senate. Miscellaneous Enactments. Provisions for the admission of Utah and the making of the first Monday in September (Labor«day) a national holiday—largely at the instance of labor societies—became laws, and at the urgent request of scientific societies an act to define and establish the units of electrical measure was passed. Three bills were passed to give effect to the Paris seal arbitration and another to regulate seal fishing. By resolution the secretary of the treasury was orderechto receive apd place to the credit of the Cherokee nation al!.740,000 for the Cherokee outlet and the secretary of the interior to settle agents' accounts with Delaware Indians. Several special acts for printing reports were passed and a dozen laws of benefit to merchant marine were enacted. The acts pertaining to the judiciary of the United States were: To provide for two additional associate justices of the supreme court of Oklahoma, for the division of the t a-tern district of Michigan into two divisions, to provide that a term of the circuit and district courts of Vermont may be held at Montpelier, that criminal causes in the district of Minnesota shall be brought and prosecuted in the division of the district in which the offenses were committed, to fix a i term of the district and circuit courts of the southern district of Mississippi to be held at Meridian aud four other acts. Numerous Kinds of Bills. Laws to require original receipts for deposits of postmasters to be sent to the treasury department, to authorize the I fourth assistant postmaster ( to approve bonds, to regulate inspection of boiler plates and their stamping, to redress an injustice to certain graduates of Anapolis, to fill vacancies in the grade of assistant paymasters and to reclaim the wreck of the Kearsarge on Roncador reef were passed. A vast number of territorial and public lands bills were adopted, one of the latter extending to j January, 1897, the time within which persons may purchase railroad grant lands forfeited to the government by the 1 act of Sept. 29, 1890. I By joint resolution officers and men of the army and navy were authorized to I wear the government badge on occasions of ceremony; three members of the board of managers of the national soldiers' home were chosen, and the secretarv of war was authorized to restore to Mich igan and lowa recaptured flags. Foremost in importance of The numerous bridge bjlls which became laws was the act authorizing the New York ami , New Jersey Bridge company to bridge the Hudson between New York city and I NeW .Tersoy. After its first passage Ihe I bill was vetoed by President Cleve n: I. but an amended bill finally met his ;■ sanction. This structure must be built ; in 10 years, not less than $1,000,000 to be | expended on it each year and $2,500,000 the first year. > I Acts were passed also to amend several bridge charters and to authorize the con-

■fraction of numerous dams for various purposes In addition there were odds and ends of legislation, such as authorizing the world’® fair to confer diplomas upon designers, artisans and inventors; the erection of fire escapes on the government printing office and Maltby buildings, providing additional clerical force for the librarian of congress, relieving employes injured in the Ford theater accident of the law restricting sick leave, and numerous others. SCENE OF HOSTILITIES. Serion* Riots In Japan and China. Ready to Forgive—Rehashed Battles. London, Aug. 6.—A dispatch received in this dry* from Shanghai reports that serious riots have occurred at Kobe. Japan, and Taku, China. In the latter place the Chinese openly insulted the members of the Japanese embassy, who were returning to Japan from Pekin. The American agent at Taku, it isadded. has forbidden the steamer Smith to land [\. wW' TAR f H ITO AB IS UG AW A. {Commander in chief of Japan’s army.] munitions of war intended for transshipment to Formosa. The Smith is a i Chinese vessel flying the American flag. It is reported that China, on account I of the jubilee celebration of the empress dowager this year, has expresses! a desire I to end the war by offering to forgive 1 Japan. Another version of this desire 1 is that China’s limited navy is without coal to operate her vessels. Rehashed Was Newn* Shanghai. Aug. 6.—The rumor cur- ; rent to the effect that the Japanese fleet : had captured three men-of-war has not ■ been confirmed. It is - believed here that the report is possibly a rehash of the re--1 ports of prior engagements of the fleets. As yet there has been no disorder in Shanghai, beyond a trifling encounter between Japanese and Chinese rowdies, — Corned Beef For Soldiers. Kansas City, Aug. o.—ln resjionse to application, the Armour Packing company has bid on 500,000 pounds of canned corned beef for Japan’s army. Negotiations with China are also open. STRIKE OFF IN CHICAGO. Local A. R. U. Cuiona and Affiliated j u " Trades Have Had Enough.” Chicago, Aug. G.—After a struggle of J 40 days against the united railroads, the ! American Railway union in Chicago has declared off the strike inaugurated in be half of the Pullman employes. Beginning this morning, each member of the union who responded to the order to strike is at liberty to resume work. Delegates of the 24 local labor unions affiliated with the A. R. U. yesterday afternoon also voted to declare the strike off in Chicago except on the Santa Fe and Chicago ami Eastern The action was purely local and the -declaration does not even affect Pullman. Neither President De-bs> or any ot\rjie A. R. U. national officials were present at - the meeting. Another Strike Elided, Chicago Aug. (s.—The-striking employes of the stockyards company decided last night to return to work and reported individually this morning. Those who get back will be assessed for the benefit of those who cannot secure employment. Congressman’s Daughter Elopes. Hagerstown, M<L, Aug. 6.—Miss Lavina T.

ITT Ilf A m LIMIT. Within 72 Honrs Something Must He Done With the Tariff. DECISION BY OONFERREES. Agreement or Disagreement to Be Reported Within the Period Prescribed, Counting From Yesterday’s Meeting. The Former Thought Most Likely—Congress Ready to Adjourn—Other News., Washington, Aug. 6.—Sunday's usual quiet in the capital building was broken f yesterday by the assembling of the Democratic tariff conferrees. All were present except Senator Voorhees, who is I still sick, and Chairman Wilson, who had gone to West Virginia to see his sick j wife. The meeting lasted until 6 o'clock and was marked with even more than the usual secrecy. Some of the conferrees declined to admit that they were together. Others were more communicative. explaining that the gathering was due to a desire to expedite a settlement. The meeting resulted in an understanduig that a report should be made one way or t he other—agreemen t or disagreement—within 72 hours. That it would be an agreement was not, however, definitely settled, On this point the confeyrees say the}- have not yet passed the i danger point, although they seemed more confident that it would be an agreement. The discussion again turned on sugar,iron ore ami coal. The fact that these items are receiving attention is taken to | indicate that the new sugar schedule has 1 been thoroughly canvassed and that it will be the basis of an agreement junless : some new obstacle intervenes. 1 house eonferrees are proceeding without ■ reference to the strong opposition to the ; new sugar schedule by the Louisiana - senators. Tliis opposition may be over- 1 come, however, by permitting the present bounty or a portion of it to run until Jan. 1 next. Some attention has also been given to the income tax and while a final agree inent has not been reached, it is practically conceded that the senate limit of 5 years will be adopted. BOND ISSUE. Difl'erVnces of Opinion Among Officials a* to Its Necessity. Washington.* Aug. 6.—There are differences of opinion among treasury officials as to the probabilities of another bond issue. Neither Mr. Carlisle nor Assistant Secretary Curtis is willing to admit that there is any real cause «for alarm in the present financial situation. It is known, however, that the president and his advisers are watching with eager ’ interest every change in the financial' I situation, and every phase of it is being 1 carefully and thoughtfully studied. ■ Notwithstanding this solicitude, it is believed that it is the judgment of the ' president that the situation does not I furnish any just apprehension and that better times may be confidently expected soon. From this point of view it is ' argued that the passage of the pending I tariff bill is sure to result iu a prompt : 1 and general revival of business. There ‘ 1 are some, however, who take a less hope- ! ful view of affairs. I’.EADY TO ADJOURN. With the Tariff Ont of Way Congress Will Scatter Quickly. j Washington, Aug. fi.—With the tar- | •iff disposed-of the senate’could probably • ! adjourn in three or four days' time.'The ■ last, of the. general appropriation bills has j passed both houses and a majority of 1 them have been signed by the president, i ' Some of the bills are in comer.-nee still. 1 , but if agreement upon th in would bring ’ an adjournment it would net long be de 1 layed. There is no measure otherlhan ! i the tariff and appropriation bills which I would be strong enough ;■> hold the sen ate together even for a day. The house is proceeding tliis week, as ' it did lust, without 41 fixed programme. I It is simply awaiting the final report »n ; the tariff bill. All its routine business ; has been transacted and it is simply waiting. Today, however, is being de- ; voted to the Settle-Williams contested j election case from North Carolina. The I committee’s majority report is m favor of Settle, the Republican. Queen Lillie’s Envoys. Washington. Aug. 6.—Queen Lilionkalani's envoys here on a special mission are beginning to complain that the administration has given them the cold shoulder. They are talking to congress men some, in view of the fact that they have been unable to secure a conference with Secretary Gresham . but they have ' not yet inado their purpose clearly tin j derstood. Congress. Washington, Aug. 0. — The senate Saturday held a short session, passed 37 private pension bills and a few other bills.
