BOWEN WILL SAIL TO-DAY EXPECTS TO HE IX WASHINGTON IN A WEEK OR TEN DAYS. Quarters for the Venesuelan Commis sion to Be Secured at a Hotel Effect of the Blockade. WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-A cablegram received from Minister Bowen at the State Department to-day conveys the information that he has decided definitely to sail from Laguayra for the United States to-morrow, and he should be in Washington within a week or ten days. The minister also stated in his message that considerable distress is being felt through the operation of the blockade In the cutting off of food suppiles. While arrangements have not yet been made for the meeting- of the Venezuelan commission some attention has been given to the subject, and it appears that the United States government will be expected to provide accommodations for the body. It is probable quarters will, be procured in one of the hotels here, for the State Department has no available room to devote to such purposes. Signor Edmondo Mayor des Planches, the Italian ambassador here, is, by virtue of seniority, entitled to preside, if the proceedings are to be in the nature cf a joint meeting, and his long diplomatic service is regarued as peculiarly fitting him for the important wont imposed on the commission. All four of the pros pective members of the commission, namely, Signor M. des Planches, the Italian ambassador. Sir Michael Herbert, the Brit ish ambassador, and Count Quadt and Baron Sternburg, as well as Minister Bowen, all speak English perfectly, and it is likely that this language will be the official communication In the commission's work. Provisions May Run Short. PARIS, Jan. 10. A dispatch from Cara-. cas to the Matin says the approaching de-, parture of United States Minister Bowen does not arouse fears for their safety among the foreign residents, their sole anxiety being on account of the scanty supply of provisions and flour, which is only sufficient to last the Caracas popula tion ten days longer. The government. according to the dispatch, has only $10,000. The revolutionary movement Is said to be making, no progress. Pears of Germans. BERLIN, Jan. 10. A dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Caracas says Minister Bowen's departure for Washington awakens fears among the members of the foreign colony at the Venezuelan capital lest acts of violence be committed against them during his absence. But President Castro, it is added, has promised the foreign residents full protection. SPEECH BY J. J. HILL. ile Thinks There Should Be Reciproc ity Tvlth Canada. ST. PAUL, Jan. 10. James J. Hill, presi dent of the Northern Securities Company, made an address of welcome to Minister SIf ton, of Canada, at a reception given here to-night. Mr. Hill dwelt at some length on the various industries of the United States and their relation to each other. He said in part: "Now, I am not a free-trader by any means, but we can modify our conditions. Possibly somebody could tell me why we should collect a duty on Canadian coal when all the coal Canada has, that Is in the populous and older settled portions of the country, is way down in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. The only result that this tariff works Is to make the people of the Atlantic coast pay more for their coal. In bt. Paul you are not so badly off for coal as some of our neighboring cities south. You are better off than Chicago; coal Is selling here for less than it is In Chicago, and for much less than it is In Washington. Baltimore, PhiladelphiaNew York or Bos ton, and still we Insist on keeping the tariff on coal. "Now, why should we keen a tariff on coal or lumber or wheat? Why cannot the wheat come in and be ground In Minneapolis? Is anybody going to be hurt? We have an enormous amount of raw material in this country, and some of it is very raw, but a great deal of it Is good and can be worked into some useful form. Now, we have on the north shore of Lake Su perior what controls the steel markets of the world, a higher grade of iron ore, which can be produced for so much less money than it can be from any other place in the world. It controls the steel market of the world and It will do so if they will ever get the commercial conditions on lines that they will stop rolling for six or eicht months. "To-day every State north of Missouri. and from the Mississippi to the Rocky mountains, is directly interested in better relations with Canada, and I think we should all raise our voices in favor of commercial relations with Canada on such conditions as will be of advantage to both countries." v TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Andrew Carnegie has offered to give Brainerd, Minn., $12.000 for a library if the city will furnish and maintain the site. In a pistol fight at Sims Spur, a logging camp twelve miles from Alexandria. La., between William Ates and James Bryant, Bryant was killed and W. Dulaney, a bystander, was mortally wounded. The coroner's jury on Saturday rendered a verdict to the effect that A. A. Marston, a Texas mine owner, whose death at the Hotel Stillwell. In Pittsburg. Kan., a month ago. caused much comment, died a natural death. "I wish you wbuld deny for me." said former Senator Wolcott at Denver, "the published statement attributed to me that 1 believe that Henry M. Teller will be the next senator from Colorado. I never made the statement, nor any which by any stretch of imagination could be interpreted to have such a meaning." Henry Squires, who has twice broken jail at Akron. O , was captured early yesterday after a fight with city and county officers. Squires was at the home of his brother and had barricaded the house. Two hots were fired, but no one was wounded. Squires was arrested and indicted some time ago for highway robbery. Rev. B. E. Parker, principal of the Ottcrbeia University business department, lo-

American Medicine. In nearly every community and in all cities there Is at least one medical rogue unjalled. He is at heart a thorough quack, although the degree of M. D. was once conferred upon him. He probably belongs to the local and State, and perhaps even to the national, mwlical organizations, but as the latter society would not help him to secure victims he cars little for it. When a patient appears in his olllce by the help of the many secrt sources he attends to so carefully, there Is rtrst made a thoroughgoing calculation of how much can be got out of him by all the tricks and devices of the confidence man. the inttmidutor. and the alarmist. Expensive instruments must be bought by him of the firms named, secret preparations of the drujcgits named, and lontc treatment is required by the very great and learned (but very cunning) doctor.

The censors of the local medical society are not Incensed or only bo mildly so that action Is never undertaken. The scandal is known to the community, but tho result is to make its anger more pronounced at the entire medical profession. It is held that we are all more or less "tarred with tho same stick" or we would not allow thee fallows to bo on profltine by our professional association. Thus is antimedicalism and the race of healers encouraged. Is there no remedy? ide mm ITS CHS? : Is well expanded. He uses hi lungs to their fullest capacity. People in ordinary do not use much over half their lung power. The unused lung surface becomes inert, and offers a prepared ground for the attack of the germs of consumption. There is no need to warn people of the danger of consumption, but warning is constantly needed net to neglect the first symptoms of diseased lungs. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures obstinate coughs, bronchitis, bleeding lungs, and other conditions which, if neglected or unskilfully treatedj. find a fatal termination in consumption.
