They avoid being caught In a trap and are quick to harass the flank. Since the 2Zth the enemy's losses have not been more than double ours.

HONG-KONG, April 12. The Filipino Junto here regards the proclamation of the "United States Philippine commission as bein? objectionable and has issued a grandiloquent statement to the effect that it is a "tissue of generalities, bristles with Pharisaism and cant, vaguely promises much and grants nothing to the Filipinos, who are tired of promises and surfeited by Spanish promises similar to the American." Continuing, tho statement reads: "The proclamation proves that the fair promises of independence under a protectorate and President McKlnley's declaration of the oblects of the Spanish war were only a mask of humanltarianism to cover the real intention. The invitation of the United States Philippine commissioners to the Filipinos to meet them for an exchange of views is meaningless, as, during the hostilities, the representative Filipinos are, necessarily absent FAIR WEATHER TO-DAY. l'oBftlhly Shower In Hstreme Northern Pnrt of Indlnnu To-Mglit.

The Filipinos continue to rtsist a violent and aggressive usurpation, not because they expect a complete victory, but to emphasize their rights and to protest against a ruthless invasion.

Yankee Clipper Ship Rnnn 10,004) .Mile In Mnety-SIs Day. NCW YORK, April 12. The Yankee clipper Reuce, which has Just arrived here from Hong-Kong, made the voyage of more than 1$,hi miles in ninety-six days, an average of more than 153 miles a day. The Reuco left Hong-Kong on Jan. 4 and when the sailors heard that her cargo Included seven thousand cases of fire crackers for the celebration of the Fourth of July In America they predicted that tho ship would furnish a grand water display by blowing up before she reached tho Cape of Good Hope. This fear was strengthened on Jan. 21, when the chief officer died of apoplexy. A death on shipboard at sea was a sure sign of bad luck they said. The ship sped on, and so far from verifying the foreboding of the tars, she made steamship time for four days In tho Indian ocean, logging 210, 2Ju and 270 miles respectively each day. Half n Steamer Salved. LONDON, April 12. The Rrltlsh steamer Milwaukee, of Liverpool, which, while on a voyage from Newcastle-on-Tyne for New Orleans, went ashore on Sept. 16 last at Port Erroll, nine miles south of Peterhead, was relaunched on the Tyne to-day. The feat of salving half the steamer and rebuilding the missing portion is regarded as remarkable and has aroused the greatest Interest among naval architects. The after part of the Milwaukee was raised by the Liverpool Salvage Association and towed to Albert iilward dock Oct. 5 last. She was a vessel of 4,7.7) tons, but was badly damaged In No. 2 hoid and had her bottom crushed in Just under the fore part of the bridge. A rock protruded, through the bottom of the hold for thirty! feet. Her position was extremely difficult, and the work of wrecking; and repairing called for the greatest Ingenuity.

Prominent Spaniard AYunt Proteetlon of the Tutted State. HAVANA, April 12. The Marquis De Rabell announces the formation of a Spanish party in Cuba, under the honorary presidency of the Marquis pe Arguelles, the richest man In the island, and the probable future representative of Spain here, although not yet officially accredited. About thirty prominent Spaniards, in and out of Havana, were called into conference and the annexation of Cuba to the United States is tho unanimous desire of these gentlemen, although no reference is made to this In their general address to the Spaniards In Cuba, as they regard It inexpedient to agitate the question Just now. At an opportune time the subject will be taken up and vigorously advocated. The address of the new party, which is signed by Marquis De Robell. Is entirely devoid of political references and simply announces tho fact of organization and election of officers, all of whom are prominent men. It asserts, however, as the controlling feature of the party programme a desire to promote peace and protect property in Cuba, to which tit- members of the party are "bound by the most sacred ties." and it earnestly advises all Spaniards here to act nobly together in upholding the honor, dignity and traditions of Spain. In all discussions regarding annexation to the United States the Spaniards cite Article h) of the peace treaty, referring to the citi-z-nshlp of Spanish subjects residing in the relinquished territory who may not record themselves as foreigners within a year from the date of the exchange of ratifications, as an argument for delaying agitation. The claim is that at the end of the year such Spaniards as may not have registered as Spaniards -will have the right of franchise. viier Issue Confiscated. SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. April 12. The Supreme Court has confiscated an Issue of the San Juan News, an American newspaper, published here, for criticising the court last week. The News published an extract from General Grant's report stating that the Porto Rlcan judiciary is corrupt and referring particularly to the lower courts. General Henry warned the News to desist, but the action of the Supreme Court was taken to-day without the consent of Gtneral Henry, who has countermanded It. The Supreme Court also demanded that the News submit all Its articles to it before publication. General Henry disapproves of this and there is much feeling among the Americans on account of the incident. Porto Itleon Postal Department. SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. April 12. Perry S. Heath, the first assistant postmaster general, says the Porto Rico iostal depart ment win be separate, under Director General Elliott, and that free delivery for the city of San Juan and mail contracts for the rest of the Island will scon be in operation.

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY

TO GET A MOLIEf.Y CASE WITNESS OIT OF MIW YOIIK STATE. A. S. Colynr, n Nashville Lawyer, Arrested on the Charge of Attempting: to Defeat Justice. WOMAN ALSO IMPLICATED PROMINENT NEAV YORKERS LIKELY TO DC INVOLVED, IT IS SAID. The Mollnenx Indictment Dismissed find the Case Ordered Submitted to Another Grand Jury NEW YORK, April 12. The attempt to remove Nicholas A. Heckman, a witness in the Molineux case, from the jurisdiction of the State, was frustrated by the authorities here to-day. Incidentally, a daring conspiracy was discovered, and A. S. Colyar, a lawyer, of Nashville, Tenn., one of the prin cipals In the cfTort to extradite Heckman, is a prisoner at police headquarters. He is charged with conspiring to have Heckman extradited to defeat the ends of justice in the prosecution of Molineux. Heckman is the man who testified that Molineux had rented a letter box from him under the name of Rarnet some weeks before the poisoning of Mrs. Kate J. Adams. Some days ago the authorities here were informed that requisition papers would soon be sent hero for the extradition of Heckman, who. It was asserted, was I. E. Raymond, alias Williams, alias Heckman, an escaped con vict from the Tennessee penitentiary. A woman known as Rlanchc E. Graham, and whose real name Is said to be Ida Cole, is alleged to have conspired with the lawyer, Colyar, for the extradition of Heckman. It Is said she was coached to swear that she knew Heckman and that he was the same man who had been sentenced under the name of Raymond by Judge Anderson, of Tennessee, to serve two years In the peni tentiary of that State. The case had pro gressed so far that Lawyer Colyar and Po lice Captain W. P. Casteen, of Nashville, had to como to Nt v York to take Heckman back with them. The papers had already passed through the hands of both Governor Roosevelt and Governor McMillin, of Ten nessee, both of whom had been deceived by perjured statements. When District Attorney Gardiner heard of the move to get his principal witness in the Molineux case away he began an investiga tion. He wired to Judge Anderson, the trial Judge In'the case, and Judge Anderson was here to-day when the expose was made. It Is said that more persons and men in high rank are likely to be involved in the case before It Is disposed of. Lawyer Colyar was taken to police head quarters this morning, and while technically not under arrest he was kept under surveillance until finally locked up at the end of the day. It developed later that Colyar made admissions to Chief of Detectives McClusky, confirming the latter's suspicion that there was a conspiracy to get Heckman out of the State. Haleas corpus proceedings came up before Justice Tiuax in the Supreme Court thLs morning with the object cf obtaining the release of Heckman and bring ing out the details of the alleged conspiracy. GARDINER'S STATEMENT. District Attorney Gardiner said John Allison, secretary of state of Tennessee, had furnished to him particulars In the case of the arrest and sentencing of Raymond, the man who had been sentenced to two years' Imprisonment for grand larceny in Nashville In 193. He said the only question to be determined was whether Heckman was the escaped convict Raymond or a citizen of this State. He explained that Lawyer Dobbs wished Heckraan's discharge on the ground that he had never been convicted of tho crime alleged, but was a good citizen of this State. District Attorney Gardiner then read an affidavit by Heckman in which he swore that ho was born here, lived here and never lived in Tennessee: that he had been arrested April 7 at Astoria, his home, on a warrant issued on the requisition of the Governor of Tennessee. Heckman said he had been arrested on the charge of jail breaking and that Captain Casteen had been sent here for him. He ended by denying that ho was Raymond and averring that he was illegally deprived of his liberty. The affidavit declared that A. S. Colyar, jr., was at the head of a conspiracy to net him out of the State so he could not give testimony In the Molineux case. The district attorney said ho had been informed by Governor McMillin, of Tennessee, that the authorities of that "State were quite as anxious as he to punish the conspirators if they could be proved such. Judge J. M. M. Anderson then addressed the court, saying he had come here upon receiving a telegram from District Attorney Gardiner. He said Mr. Gardiner had shown him a letter from the secretary of state of Tennessee, John Allison, directing hLs attention to the tact that extradition proceedings were contemplated. Judge Anderson stated that if Heckman had ever been before him he had reitatnly passed completely out of his recollection, a condition very improbable, lie said he had absolutely no recollection of ever having seen H?ckman Lawyer Colyar was then called to. tho stand. He was a faltering witness. He testified that a picture of Heckman was sent to him at Nashville by Rartow S. Weeks, of New York. The picture looked like Percy E. Raymond, who had been convicted In Nashville. Colyar showed It to E. S. Scrutts. a member of the Nashville bar. who said it wa.s that of Raymond. After Colyar came to New York he testified that Mr. Weeks sent him to Heckman's place of business. After his return to Tennessee he signed an affidavit that Heckman was Raymond. Colyar met Rlanche Graham in Raltimore. He did not know she was a woman of had character. Colyar then said he had received only his expenses for coming here and that Rartow S. Weeks had paid them. Heckman swore that he was in this citv at his home in 102. 1:5. lSlt and 1SW. and that he had never been In Tennessee. A physical examination carried on in court showed that Heckman did not correspond with Raymond. Justice Truax discharged Heckman from custody. Rartow S. Weeks, counsel for Roland R. Molineux, issued a statement to-night with reference to his connection with the Heckman case. In this statement Mr. Weeks says that Colyar deceived him, representing that Heckman was a fugitive criminal whom he could positively identify and was so insistent and plausible that Weeks was convinced Colyar told the truth. This belief was further strengthened when Colyar made a personal identification of Heckman in the city. When he learned that Colyar was Imposing on him he took him to police headquarters. 4 ANOTHER CHANCE I OR MOLINEl .Y. Poison Cast Indictment Dismissed To lie Sent to New Grand Jury. WATERTOWN. N. Y.. April 12.-Justiee Pardon C. Williams to-night handed down his decision in the motion made to discharge the indictment against Roland Molineux, charged with sending poison to Harry Cornish, which caused the death of Mrs. Adams in New York last December. Justice Williams dismisses the indictment on the ground that other than legal evidence was received and considered by the grand jury, and directing that the case be resubmitted to the grand Jury, now sitting, or to the next grand jury that shall sit in New York. LAKE CITY LYNCHING CASE. Strnnpr Testimony Aprnlnst Alleged Slayers of Postmaster linker. CHARLESTON. S. C, April 12.-Two of the government's most imjortant witnesses testified in the Iike City lynching case In the United States Circuit Court to-day. They were J. P. Newham. one of the men who turned state's evidence, and M. W. Springer, a bicycle repairer, who swears that one. of the defendants asked him to Join the mob that killed Tostmastcr J3akcr.

Newham Is a white man of ordinary Intelligence, but pays he cannot read and write. He used to live in Lake City, but since he turned state's evidence he has been provided for in Washington. On the stand today he swore that he met Stokes. Epps. Webster, Alonzo Rodgers. defendants, and others at Stokes's store. Stokes planned the lynching, proposing to set fire to the postoffice and kill Raker when he came out. It was agreed to do this on Monday nicht. At that time the men named, with McKnight. Ward and others went to the place. He and Early Plee set fire to the place, while the others hid In the bushes and tired into the place. Newman was rigidly cross-examined, but stuck to his original story. Spring said

J Stokes tried to get him to go to kill Raker, uui ue reiuseu 10 UO so. opinio wuifi cross-examined when court adjourned on account of the. illness of Juror Murphy. The case made out by the government to-day was a strong one. There are nearly a hundred more witnesses to be examined, but Newham's story of the crime is the center around which the others will revolve. Newham declared that he did not see defendants Kelly. E. Rodgcrs and Clark in tho mob that killed Raker. KEEPING COOL f Concluded from Tlrst Page.) that It was obviously the duty of the threo consuls to uphold the decision of the Supreme Court, which, according to the telegrams received, decided to reinstate Tanu in place of the provisional government, and tho action of Herr Rose in Issuing a counter proclamation supporting the rebellious faction could not but have a disastrous effect, as shown by the fighting described in today's dispatches. Further, the officials of the Foreign Office think it imiwssible to say to a certainty how events will develop, but they are of the opinion that It Is high time the commissioners got to work in order to settle once for all the. deplorable state of affairs which has arisen in Samoa. The dispatch for the Rrltlsh Admirality from Apia, after giving the list Of killed and wounded, add: "The Rritish and American authorities used their utmost endeavors, previous to the fighting, to reach a peaceful settlement." The news from Samoa created a sensation among the general public. The newspapers sent out large placards printed with such startling statements as "Rritish and American forces routed," "German treachery," etc. The heroic conduct of Ensign Monasrhan. of the United States cruiser Philadelphia, particularly appeals to the public. The Etltish Admiralty has received a dispatch from Captain Stuart, the senior Rritish naval officer in Samoan waters, giving the news of the death of Lieutenant Freeman, of the Rritish cruiser Tauranga, in "an engagement with the rebels." Reyond this tio further details have been received. The German ambassador here. Count Von Hatzfeld-WUdenberg, first received the news from a representative of the Associated Press. .He quickly recognized its Importance and asked permission to make a copy of the dispatch. He said: "ir.is news is indeed grave, und it is unfortunate, too. at this moment that anything should occur to e ndanger the negotiations tor the settle- ; ment that we were glad to feel would soon have arrived. Of course I cannot discuss the particulars given In the dispatch, but the occurrence is certainly very unfortunate." , , ... The United States ambassador. Joseph H. Choate. having read the Samoan dispatch, said: "And is German treaciiery hinted at? I see nothing In this news to warrant for a moment the suggestion that the German government Is in any way implicated. Until we know more about the local circumstances surrounding the case it Is impossible to express an accurate opinion. There is one thing, however, it will tend to force matters, and now. doubtless, the three governments will t&ke up the question vigorously, and, instead of the occurrence causing delay. It muy accelerate a definite underttandin'" . . The Pall Mall Gazette says: "The locality of the engagement, or. rather, ambush, is stated to have been a German plantation, and there Is the unpleasant suggestion of tteacherv ot-. the part of a German subject. The Incident apart from the loss of life is deeply deplored. The situation was already full of anxiety to the governments at home, while on the spot racial feeling runs high. Though it will be kept well under control, the Cabinets of London, Wasnington and Rerlin could well have been spared this latest development. We may be assured that order will be maintained ashore by the united efforts of the English and American commanders, but even thetr efforts will not clear the air of tho electricity which is fast accumulating at Apia." Morning Pres. Comments. LONDON, April 13. The Dally News, commenting ecltorlally on tho latest news from Samca, says: "Ambush and mutilation of the dead are t'.ie ordinary incidents of savage warfare and ought not to provoke any special acts of reprisal. The case, however, would be seriously complicated If it could be shown that the Germans actively aided or counseled the enemy. Apart from that there Is nothing left to do but to keep co A and to hurry the Joint commission. The American government l.s determined to regard the matter with equanimity. The American ixople have yet to be heard from. We can derive a melancholy satisfaction trom the knowledge that for the first time since the war of independence Rritish and American soldier and sailors have fallen side by side in battle. Rut even this is a poor consolation in comparison with the complications which events have added to 1 n intricate problem. Justice bids us remember that we are not yet In possession of the German version, and Emperor V llliam. who has displayed such "nxiety to bring alxmt an adjustment of the difficulties, will be most deeply concerned. In the meantime let us hope that it will be the disposition of all sides not to aggravate a verv serious situation." Tiv Daily Chronicle says: "The question Is whether, when one power tries to overreach one or two others, she car. t complain if she sufers a rebuff. There can be r.o question that when local Intrigues lead to the sacrifice of white life the central power must be held responsible. No doubt she will behave fairly enough, but the danger is that it will take very little, after the experience in the Philippine, to blow up a liame in the United States, which the German authorities will give much to extinguish. As for our placid selves, it is we'l to understand that we are not going to undertake by a private agreement to nullify the principles of a decision by a majority of the special commission." The Daily Graphic, recalling "numerous occasions when Gennary has hampered the civilizing work cf othor nations." urge s coolness in the landing investigation and suggests that the best way out of the commiscn problem wculd be to appoint an arbitrator. The Dallv Mail, hitherto a strong advocate of conciliating Germany, says: "We are lMH-.nd to admit that the German press and officials are pushing matters nther far, but we look to Emperor William's moderating intluence to prevent further trouble." After alluding to "fraternity of valor between the English and Americans on the battlettelcV the Dally Mail says that the greatest need of the situation Is for cool heads. The Standard savs: "It Is true that Rrltlsh and American blood has been shed and that Rritish and American tings have been fired upon, and for this an account must be rendered. Rut the larger question of a permanert settlement regarding Samoa and the possible revision of the treaty remains for future consid ration. This question is not one that can be allowed to involve rerr:aty In a serious quarrel with the two powers with whom she has the strongest reason for wishing to remain on terms of amity." The Times says: "The incident is painful. Though it has no direct bearing upon the questions under discussion between the three governments and may not In any way affect their diplomatic action, it is eminently satisfactory to find that Great Rritain and tne united Mates are acting ingemcr in diplomacy, as well as by sea and land. As to tne hesitation of Great Rritain ami tho United States to accept th German proposition that unanimity on the part of the commission rs is necessary not only in the main issue but in all details, it must bo approved as the Judgment ef common sense. If Germany insists on an absolute agreement about everything she will infallibly delay the speedy settlement to which she aspires." fiKRM.WS OT TO nijAMH. Important Statement ly Minister Von Ilueloiv Foreign Ofllce Spokesman. RERLIN, April 12. The correspondent here of the Associated Press has had an interview with a Foreign Office official, who is authorized to speak for the minister of foreign affairs, Raron Von Ruelow. He said: "We have received several official dispatches saying that the Tanu people for a fortnight past have been raiding and pillaging around Apia, destroying mainly German property. They are armed with weapons furnished by the Rritish. We also received to-day a dispatch from the commander of the Falke confirming the ambuscade and the loss of the Americans and English, substantially tallying with the dispatches of the? Associated Press. The ambuscade may possibly have been on a German plantation, as nearly all the property around Apia is German. The government regrets extremely the occur rerce, for whleh, however, it is in no way to blame. Such hostile encounters must nat urally be expected when the Anqlo-American action in crowning Tanu has made nine tenths of the Samoo&j their enemies. It

shows strongly how necessary Is the prompt departure of the commission with adequately full Instructions. Although the German commissioner has not yet been formally appointed, he is ready to start for Samoa within half an hour after the three governments clearly define the mode of operation and the powers of the commission. Why does England needlessly delay agreeing? It is the only way to prevent ceaseless bloodshed in Samoa. Unless the commission starts soon such encounters may reoccur any day. "Of course, now that fresh blood has been spilled, the excitement of the Americans and Rritish might increase. Rut Germany is blameless. The same thing occurred to our men In 1SSS. The Samoa ns also cut off the he-ads of the German victims then. That is one of the Samoans' pleasant habits. If Admiral Kautz had the power to re-establish peace all might be well. Rut ho needs much stronger force than now available under his and the Rrltlsh command at Apia to subduo Mataafa and his warlike hosts." The correspondent of the Associated Pres also saw United States Ambassador White who said he had not received any official news of the recent occurrences at Samoa, and therefore was unable to comment upon the ambuscade. The Lokal Anzelger. the only afternoon newspaper here containing the exciting Samoan news, does not comment upon it. The correspondent hears from an authoritative source that the Washington government is ptill In doubt as to how far unanimity is to prevail within the commission. Germany insisting on absolute unanimity, and the United States desiring unanimity on important questions only, while on the preliminaries and Immaterial points the United States deems a majority sufficient. The s mi-official North German Gazette confirms the statement made by the Neuesten Nachrichten yesterday to the effect that the German representative on the German commission would be appointed only when Great Rritain shall have given tho necessary guarantees to Insure respect for German treaty rights, and adds that it has reason to know the German government has asked for a definite statement as to the position of the Rritish government towards the Samoan treaty. An official dispatch from Apia, dated April 5. says: "The Rritish have been bombarding a Samoan village daily and the adherents of both Tanu and Mataafa are plundering foreign property. On April 1, an Anglo-American landing party of seventy men fell Into an ambush near Vallele (the dispatches of the Associated Tress from Apia had it Vaslele.) Three officers were killed and two light guns were captured. The war ships afterwards renewed the bombardment. The officials here point out that the engagement appears to have occurred at tho same place that a landing party from the German war ships Olga, Eber and Adler had an encounter with the natives in ISSN. Sir Frank Lascelles, the Rritish ambassador, conferred with Raron Von Ruelow, the German foreign minister, until a late hour this evening. The result of the conference has not yet developed definitely, but it is said that an agreement was reached respecting the commission. Evidently Ger

many is doing her utmost to avoid Irritating Great Rritain and the United States. The government had the dispatch from Apia earl3 this morning, but refrained from pub lishing Its contents, because it did not de sire to exhibit a mischievous pleasure at the ambush of Rrltlsh and Americans. The same motive forbade the semi-otficials papers to publish or comment on the news in a tone open to the suspicion of cynicism. Raron Von Ruelow deprecates any attempt to complicate the situation by needless Interpellations; but he has consented to reply to an interpellation by a number of the Na tional Liberal party in the Reichstag to morrow or Friday, stipulating, however, that the inquiry shall deal with the general situation and contain nothing offensive to Great Rritain or the United States. This appears to confirm the report that the visit of Sir Frank Iascelles has had a definite result, since, until to-night, Raron Von Rue low had declined to consent to Interpellations. It is understood that if a German should prove to have been responsible for the treachery, the government will acknowledge his liability to punishment. As a specimen of the excitement prevail ing in chauvinist quarters-, an agrarian newspaper publishes a violent manifesto calling upon the women of Germany to con tribute a navy fund, as a protest against the act of the United States and Great Rritain In "trampling Germany's honor Into the dust." The manifesto Is signed "A German Frau." The Radical newspapers comment upon It satirically, one of them remarking: "Get thee to a nunnery, Ophelia." The Vosslsche Zeitung observes that the previous navy fund provided about enough to buy a life boat. Salisbury Consents. LONDON. . April 13. The Berlin corre spondent of the Morning Post says: Ird Salisbury, I team, has definitely announced his adhesion to the principle of unanimity In the Samoan commission, although filled with grave apprehensions as to the detrimental effect it may have on the commission's usefulness. The Rrltlsh and German governments have now arrived at an agreement." "JACKIES'' EAGER FOR ACTION. Sailor of the Rattle Ship I own Hope to lie Sent to Samoa. SAN FRANCISCO, April 12. -The news of the resumption of hostilities in Samoa, with tho Americans and English on one side and the Mataafans and possibly the Germans on the other, aroused great feeling on the battle ship Iowa, now at anchor in this harbor off the Union iron works. Lit tle groups of "Jackles" discussed the situa tion ardently and expressed great hopes that their vessel would be ordered to Join the American and Rritish ships now In the harbor at Apia. lt Is doubtful if the Iowa s great draught would permit her entering the reef-bound harbor.

The Countess of Selkirk Is the chaperon or rauline. the only daughter of William Waldorf Astor. of London and New lork. Mrs. Astor, who died live years since m England, was .Mbs Mary Paul, of Philadelphia, and a woman of rare beauty and gentleness. Sinco Mrs. Astor's death Miss Aster has been without any near woman relative as a companion. Now that she is old enough to enter society, it becomes necessary for her father to chooso a chaperon for her, and he was fortunate enough to secure the services of the Countess of Selkirk. Tho countess is the widow of the late Dunbar James Hamilton, sixth earl of Selkirk, keeper of the great seal of Scotland. She married him when he was sixty-nine years or age, and ho died in ls-so, leaving no children. His title became merged in that of his kinsman, the Duke of Hamilton, who is the premier duke of Scotland and also duke or llrandon in England, is the chief of the families of Dousles and Hamilton, who played a prominent part in the ancient historv of Scotland. The Count ss of Selkirk has a fine old country house, lielmar, in lv;kcud brightshire, and a town houe in Bcrkely Square, London. Having but a modest. income and a great fondness for society, she is pleased to accept the position offered by Mr. Astor, with a salary of JLVooO, a sum almost threo times as large as that paid the senators of the United States. In addition Mr. Astor pays all of the specific expenses. The countess has been deemed a desirable chaierori bv Queen Victoria. When the Princess alarle. sbter of Prince Dhulup Singh, entered society A few years since, the countess was chosen as a chaperon for her by the Queen, whose ward tho Hindu princess was. Miss Astor was presented at court at the last drawing room held In lehalf of the Queen, and tho countess prepared her for the great social function. The Countess of Selkirk is a handsome woman of about tiftv. She is the daughter of the late Sir Philip de Malpes Grey-Egerton, of an old Cheshire family. Miss Astor is a graceful Rirl, accomplished and self-reliant. An sha Is a. great heiress, Fhe will doubtless marry a title. Sh has been educated entirely in Europe, and naturally has absorbed only foreign ideas of life. William Waldorf Astor owns .tMV"( of New York teal property. Miss Astor's share to her father's propertv will doubtless be fc.0o0.OfXJ. A possible marriage has been discussed between, Miss Astor and the Duke of .Rexburghe.

The " Favorite Prescriptton" relieves morn ing sickness and the other discomforts of the period preceding motherhood by purifying the whole system and by strengthening and invigorating the special organ involved. Morning sickness is due to the efforts of nature to remjve from the body every bit of impurity which might offset the health of the little one to come.
