OPEN DEFIANCE

Britons Not Pleasantly Pisposed Toward Germany's War Lord. SOUND A WARNING NOT! Striking Article Advocatins an At, flo-KiUMari Alliance Lets the Cat Out of the Da?. If Germany Wants a Fijlit the Britons Are Not Unwilling- to Accommodate Her. London, Cct. 29. The November number of The National Review will contain a striking article advocating the establishment of aa alliance between England and Russia, mainly for the purpose of counteracting the alleged serious hostility of Germany towards Great Britain. The article ia written anonymously, hut it is stated that It is the joint contribution of writers who not only thoroughly understand the subject, but are on intimate terms with members of the cabinet, though The National Review distinctlyl disowns any government inspiration for the article. Under the title of "British Foreign Policy,-" the article first of all asserts that the "naval policy and avowed hostility of Germany, to which even the British official world can no longer remain blind, will force us to keep on a war footing in the North sea a fleet as powerful and efficient as the Mediterranean or channel squadrons." Dealing with Germany's part in the intrigues against England consequent upon the South African war, it Is stated that neither the United States Japan, Austria or Italy have any time been even remotely implicated in these intrigues. The real origin of the South African war was "the want of a clear and definite policy in that part of the world." Reverting from colonial to foreign policy the article forcibly traces the growing hostility to England, with a careful appreciation of Germany's growing naval and commercial strength. "She is already stronger at sea than either France or Russia." Buelow's avowed contempt for England is shown by quotations from his recent speeches. "It is galling to Englishmen," these -writers state, "to reflect that Germany was rewarded for failing to raise Europe against us by Anglo-German agreement securing to Germany the revision of spacious territories to which she had no sort of claim." The ill feeling existing between Russia and England has, it is declared, been perpetually fostered at Berlin, yet "of all the countries in the world the power which would have most reason to rue the substitution of Germany for Great Britain as mistress of the seas, would be Russia. If once the sea power of England were overthrown, Germany would be free to execute her hostile policy towards Russia, who is not less in her way than we are. No insurmountable difficulty, it is held, prevents Russia and England arrives at a basis of mutual understanding. "The late Emperor Alexander expressed his desire for such a settlement and the present emperor is credited with the same disposition." Tte fact of Russia being a party to such an agreement would give France a guarantee that her interests would be taken into due consideration, while our participation would afford a natural safeguard to the commercial interests of the United States. The enVct of such an agreement would at once remove the danger of a sudden explosion, which must continue to Ijang over the whole world so long as the far east remains the powder magazine of international rivalries and conflicting interests, which it is at present. A note of defiance is sounded at the conclusion of this important article. "The navy bill in Germany was carried through," it is stated, "with the avowed object of creating a navy which would be able to keep the North sea clear. We have no intention of clearing out of the North sea or out of any other sea. We seek no quarrel with any power; but il Germany thinks It to her interest to force one upon us, we shall not shrink from the ordeal, even should she appear in the lists with France and Russia as her allies. Germans would, however, do well to realize that if England is driven to It. England will strike home. Close to ..he foundations of the German empire, which has hardly emerged from its artificial stage, there exists a powder magazine such as is to be found in no other country, viz: Social Democracy. In the case of a conflict with Great Britain, misery would be caused to large classes of the German population, produced by the total collapse of subsidized industries; far reaching commercial depression, financial collapse, and a defective food supply might easily make that magazine explode." Willi i m U Hot. Berlin, Oct. 29. The German press is discussing in lively fashion the following utterance attributed to Emperor William. "If no commercial treaties are negotiated. I shall smash everything to pieces."

Are Not Wanted In Indiana Br th li. A. SOO. Anderson, Ind.. Oct. 23. J. L. Der ny, president, and George Ambros secretary, of the new L. A. 330 organization of window blass workers, are in the city seeking the aid of the loca! workmen ,o keep a large number of imported Belgian workmen out of the factories. Denny claims he knows of 200 Belgians arriving in small parties and coming direct to the gas belt. He argues that the imported workmen redv.ee the chances of steady employment for the local workmen; that it is difficult to associate or affiliate with the Belgians who came here without knowledge of the English language and unaccustomed to American ideas and, finally send every dollar back to their native land. Denny's argument is being received with much consideeraiion here, notwithstanding that all workmen here belong to President Burns's old L. A. 300 organization. It Was Not Murder. South Bend, Ind., Oct. 29. South Bend's supposed mysterious case of poisoning in the Webb family has been cleared.

The Chinese people, he said, were becoming eager for reform and the new generation would revolt in order to learn of the customs and habits of the people. Only Newspaper Talk. Santiago De Chile, Oct. 29. via Galveston It is officially asserted here (in view of the war-like rumors published in the British newpapers) that the relations between Chile and Argen tina are perfectly tranquil and that there is not the slightest cause for alarm. The exciting difficulties will be settled amicably between the two governments. The only disquieting features are the utterances of the newspapers of Buenos Ayres. Nobody here contemplates war between Chile and Argentina. Another Story of It. Columbia. Miss.. Oct. 29. Six negroes were shot to death at Live Oak church, about three miles from Balltown. La., one white man killed and another wounded, and two negro women and a child were burned almost to cinders in Lott's restaurant, which had been fired by the whites to dislodge Lott and others, who were firing at the whites from behind the counters.

T .t.ML.KVs II ANUS Admiral Schley X.w Ileitis Subjected to Cross Kiaminaiton. Washington. Oct. 29. The cross examination of Admiral Schley began yesterday before the court of inquiry and hardly more than a third of the ground was covered when th court adjourned. After Admiral Schley concludes

B2AR ADMIRAL St HLFY BEINU CTJOS3 EXAMINED. two other witnesses will be called in his behalf. Admiral Baker and Captain Thomas Borden The latter was an officer of the marine corps aboard the Brooklyn. The judge advocate then will call his witnesses in rebuttal, of whom there are understood to be more than fifteen, and it is probable that Admiral Schley's counsel will call witnesses in sur-rebuttal. The crowd present yesterday while hardly so large as on Friday last when Admiral Schley told the story of the battle ot Santiago, showed unabated interest in the proceedings. Nothing sensational developed, and the only outburst in the court occurred when Mr. Rayner, Admiral Schley's counsel, objected to a line of inquiry of the judge advocate designed to criticise Admiral Schley's alleged failure to formulate a plan of battle, with the declaration that as Admiral Sampson was in command his junior had no right to plan an order of battle. Want Him Tor President. Rich riill. Mo.. Oct. 29. A Schley club has been organized here by some of Admiral Schley's Democratic admirers.

Those who have been in hourly expectation of news regarding Miss Stone and her companion, have again been disappointed. Nothing definite ,has yet been reached in the dealings wiJi 'the missionaries' abductors. A point which is much discussed by those who are interested in the case is what shall be done if the brigands insist on being paid the 23.0(H) (Turkish) which they at first demanded. Scarcely half that sum is available thus far, and it is believed that should an agreement on reduced terms be impossible, the offer of a less sum than 23,00 (Turkish) will be withdrawn even at the cost of the life of Miss Stone. XKHSK TKI.KtiltAMS .It 13 expected that the Schley Court of inqliry will conclude it fitting the last of tuU orthe first of next week. The Tenm'ssc Conference expelled the Bev. B. A.

THEY ARE NOT ALL CONFINED Tv THE SEAS THAI ARE SALTY. Tbe AIHicator ar la One Prrh V." liter Specie Thai l 1'rorrd la the South-1. Mysterloes Mnnaler That lahablta a Michigan Lake. So far as any danger from the same Is concerned, fresh water Csbi:s has always been looked upon as alxut as safe as any sport in th woi'.d. and tbe fresh water fish has gone on record as harmless and nonresistant. But thereare instances now auU iueu when tinfish turns tUe tables. T'.u- inhabitants of Osceola county. Mich., who live ic the neighborhood of Lake George. ai inland water about three miles long are almost superstitious!.- afraid of a certain fish that inhabits that hike. No one knows what son of tsh it is. and opinion locally is liivid tl as to whether it is a giant muskelluuge or a sturgeon. Spearing parties bad now and then reported seeing a very large tisb with out being abie to strike it. but rut one gave credence to the tales until one night several yvtrn ago. when a partj of spcrtsmeu from Ch'caga went on tinlake spt-aring iu charge of an oid icsi dent l:. mill Armstrong. Armstrong was the un!y one that returned to tell the story. He said the party was spearing in shallow water when they saw an enormous tish ti.at resembled an overgrown pickerel. Two of the Chicago men were stauding it: the bow. and at first supposed the tish to be a log. Then one saw his mistake and struck with all his might. The tish gave a dart that made the boat jump as though a steam engine were pulliug it. If the man bad let go of the spear, all would have been well, but be hung ou, and the fish gave a mighty flop to right angles with the boat. The man still held to the spear, with the result that the boat capsized, and the men found themselves standing in mud aud water up to their waists. Tbe light went out when the boat upset, and, the night being dark and cloudy, ncf cne of the party had any idea of the direction to be pursued in reaching shore. The shallow water occupies a large part of the lake, and they could wander In any direction without being able to tell whether or not they were nearing shore. Armstrong said afterward that nothing could equal the awfulness of the experience that followed. They made their way in one direction after another and wandered round and round, going half way to their knees in mud at every step. To make matters worse a cold, steady, drizzling rain began to fall. They were soon numb to the marrow. Then one of the sportsmen dropped without a word, aud no one went to his help. Little by little the three that remained were separated. Armstrong says he himself became unconscious after a time and remembers nothing that happened until he was roused by feeling solid ground beneath his feet and finding that tbe water was more shallow than it bad been. He kept on aud fell upon the. shore. Then on bands and knees he crawled to camp and gave the alarm. Search was at once made for his companions, and their bodies were recovered. Since that time the big fish with a scar on his back has twice or thrice been seen by spearing parties, but they have passed it by. There is one species of fish in tbe south that is feared only little less than Its salt water contemporary the shark. Thia Is the alligator gar. It grows to enormous size and has a bill hard and bony and much broader than the hill of tbe common gar of northern waters. One who goes out upon the lakes of Louisiana and Arkansas will see them jumping and splashing like enormous trout. Their usual food consists of Ssh, and they not only make endlels trouble for those who go fish ing with minnows, but have been knowa to round up and tear to pieces bass which the sportsman has hooked. Bathing in the lakes is considered dangerous. A negro was sitting in the stern of a boat oa a lake near Helena, Ark., letting his feet bang over the stern, when a gar grabbed him by one leg. Tbe man hung to the boat until rescued, but bis leg was horribly gashed. The fish have been known to attack in like manner negroes who went, swimming In the Mississippi below New Orleans. One spring tbe writer was visiting a rice plantation on the "lower coast" of the Mississippi when an old negress came wailing to tbe bouse and said ber five-year-old boy was dead. He bad been playing at tbe edge of a bayou and was lying on the bank extending his arms Into the water when a gar came with a rush and, grabbing the youngster by the arm. pulled him Into tbe water. A young negro with a shotgun was standing near watching for rice birds. He ran to the bank. Tbe fish found !t had undertaken a bigger task than it could well manage, and a wild struggle was In progress between the gar and the dying child. The negro shot the fish, but tbe child died before it could be taken from the water. New York Times. The Right Defease. In the course of a trial an English j Judge is reported to have said: Th j laws cf God and man both give the party an opportunity to make his defense, if he has any. I remember to bare heard it observed by a very learned man upon such an occasion that even God himself did not pass sen tence upon Adam before he was called opon to make his defense. 'Adam.' says God. -where art thou? Hast thou eaten of tbe tree whereof I command ed thee that thou shouldest not eatT Aud tbe same question was put to Eve also." ..

Modern Preachers.

ARE THEY TO BE TRUSTED AND BELIEVED 1 i The only value of the question In the headline is to bring home the fact that of all classes of testimony, that offered ! bv the clergy would be most promptly ! accepted without doubt or cavil. The j clergy stand for truth and right, and : thousands follow them living up to the same precepts of rectitude. These followers are no whit less truthful than their leaders. Yet because the preacher is a leader it is natural to give weight to his statements. His very position and responsibility to his people and the world at large not only forbid the thought of untruth in him, but lend emphasis to any voluntary declaration of fact which he may make. If a pastor says to one of his congregation who is coughing, "I cured a very bad cough once bv the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," he could offer no stronger endorsement as to the value of that well-known medicine as a cure for coughs; and if such a pastor makes for the time the world his parish, and puts out the same testimony he is only enlarging the scope of his benefaction. For if the world at large knew and was persuaded of the wonderful curative powers of " Golden Medical Discovery" in cases of diseases of the respiratory organs, it would mean a great increase in the general health and comfort, not to say a probable saving of a great many lives. "AS TRUE AS GOSPEI.." It is " as true as gospel " that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures coughs, bronchitis, weak and bleeding lungs and such diseases of the respiratory organs as through neglect or unskillful treatment may find a fatal termination in consumption. It is also true that the limit to a possibility of a cure cannot be set. When people who have had fourscore hemorrhages of the lungs are cured by the use of the " Discovery," there is certainly hope for one who may have had ninety hemorrhages. When some one is taken from the condemned cell into which the local practitioner has abut him, and from a weak, emaciated Rnaata May De Ruled br Woman. Russia's next ruler may be a woman. The Salic law, that ironbound enactment put in force in Russia by the Emperor Nicholas, may be overturned and the law cf primogeniture be readopted. This will place the Grand Duchess Olga on the throne as autocrat of all the Russias at tbe death of her father, tbe present ezar. It is the czar's wish that this should be. and that bis daughter rather than his brother, the Grand Duke Michael, shall succeed him. Since the b'.rth of the latest Russian princess Journals spoken of as "official" in various large cities of tbe empire have urged the czar to return to the ancient practice of awarding the throne to the eldest born. Irrespective of sex. L Michael, according to bis Intimates, is not overanxious to inherit the prodigious empire Russia has now become and will be when the Transslberian railway makes more than half of Asia part of the czar's domains. He would cot at all object If bis brother, tbe present czar, should change tbe present family compact and make bis eldest daughter, the Grand Duchess Olga, eligible to succeed ber father.

rreck restored to ragged health by th use of the Discovery," it is impossible tc abut the door of hope on any one however weak he may be. It ia the record of such cure which has given Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery pre-eminence among all preparation foi the cure of diseases of the organs oi respiration. ..... I desire to send yon this bnef, unsolicited testimonial." writes Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, of Barium Springs, I'edell Co.. N. C. "In 1S98, one of my oaughters was suffering on account of a sever cough, hectic fever, wasting of flesh and other symptoms of diseased lungs. 1 promptly gave her Dr. R. V. Pierce'i GclJea 'Medical Discovery with gratify ing success, and she now enjoys excellent health This'experience caused ma to recommend Dr. Pierce '1 medicines to my neighbors, who, without except tion, used them with favor able results. This being true, I hereby heartily ea dorse vour medicines."

It can be truly said ot Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery that it al ways helps and altnosi always cures. Ninetyeight per cent, of all whe use " Golden Medical Discovery " are perfectly and permanently cured. Tbt remaining . two per cent though not cured ack nowledge appreciable benefit They cough less, eat bet ter, sleep better and feet letter for the use of th " Discovery." IKS IMPORTANT POINT. While extreme cases ot disease are cured by th use of "Golden Medical Discovery," the importan) point is not to neglect tht blight cough. From suet neglect fatal results havt come to many thousands. It is useless to try the men "cough medicine," or palliative, which soothes out does not cure. The on thing desirable is to t cured quickly and per xnanently, and it is in suck cures that the " Discovery proves its value. " I took a severe cold which settled it the bronchial tubes," writes Rev. Frank Hay, of Nortonville, Jefferson Co., Kan sas. "After trying medicines labeled Sure cure almost without number, I was led to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. I took two bottles ani was cured, and have stayed cured. Whet I think of the great pain I had to endure, and the terrible cough I had, it seem, almost a miracle that I was so soon re lieved. That God may spare you man) years and abundantly bless you is th prayer of your grateful friend."
