The cases were on hearing for the second time, but the disease having been proved noncon­ tagious the Live Stock Commissioners dismissed the case and agreed to pay the costs. Rebels in Foil Control, A DISPATCH to the Mayor of Juarez, Mexico, says Chihuahua is in the hands of the rebels.

Dodge, it is charged, got a pension of $74 a month for total blindness from injuries re­ ceived during the war. The fraud was discovered and Government' agents set to look for the bogu3 blind man. Dodge has been in Chicago for soma time. He was a Sergeant of the Co­ lumbian Guards during the Fair and of late has been employed as an agent of the Central Relief Association in the Rookery building. He and his wife have been boarding at the hcuse on Michigan avenue where he was caught.

T h e S t a t e s h a l f o f the dispute by arbitration. the story of the murder of Dr. Cronin ; : • has been told to a jury for the second time. The explanation of the defense is yet to ccme. It is estimated that it will take as much time to introduce all the evidence for the defense as was required by the State. It took about six weeks to introduce the State's witnesses, and should the defense con­ sume an equal- period the verdict of the jury may not be looked for till about March 1. The trial has now lasted since Oct. 30. On that day it was called before Judge Tuthill, but there were delays of one kind or another and it was not until Nov. 3 that the work of im­ paneling a jury was begun. Some 83H veniremen were examined before the twelve men now in the box were selected and sworn in to try the case. There were interruptions growing out of the dis­ covery by the State of irregularities with regard to some of the jurors. Five men were dismissed from the panel after having been sworn in. The jury was completed on Dec. 4, and two days later the taking of testimony began. The State examined ninety-three wit­ nesses, twenty-six less than were pres­ ent at the former triaL This decrease in the number of witnesses for the State was due- to the exclusion of all testimony relating to Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael and the conspiracy formed therein.

DEMOCRATIC members of the Ways and Means Committee have agreed on a number of changes in the tariff bill. THE Supreme Court set aside the or­ der confirming the report of the com­ missioners in the Illinois-Iowa boundary SECRETARY CARLISLE is experienc­ ing difficulty in securing authority for an issue of short-term bonds at a low rate of interest. A BILL has been introduced in Con­ gress by Mr. Durborow authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to transfer to the Columbian Museum of Chicago the reproductions of the caravels of Colum­ bus, the Santa Maria, Nina, anjd Pinta, which were on exhibition at the "World's Fair. WASHINOTON special: It ia now cer­ tain that Secretary Carlisle will issue bonds to replenish the Treasury. He does not expect further permission from Congress. He has ample au­ thority, and besides there is little hope that Congress will grant the desired authority for issuing 5 per cents., even if the Secretary were willing to await the end of months of debate, into which the silver fight would be dragged. There 6e?g}s to be a fear that iii issuing the 5 pe? cents, the Secretary will inflict upon the country an obligation to pay an unnecessary ad­ ditional interest of 2 per cent. That fear is probably groundless, as the Secretary believes that he will be able to get enough premium on the bonds to reduce the interest to 3 per cent. True, the bonds will run for a longer term than would be the case were Con­ gress. for once in its life, to act promptly and give the Secretary of the Treasury permission to issue bonds for any time he seems fit.

Proposals should state the amount of bonds desired, whether registered or coupon, and the premium which the subscriber proposes to pay, the place where it is desired that the bonds shall be delivered, and the office, whether that of the Treasurer of the United States or an as­ sistant Treasurer of the United States, where it will be most convenient for the subscriber to deposit the amount of his subscription.

It is tbe only kind of Improvement that has in it possibilit ies of lasting, because it is based upon actual increase in the pro* duction of industries. As all rejoice to see it, there is perhaps a little disposition to reckon the gain greater than it is as yet, but several large establishments have started part force hoping to increase, and mure smaller works have started than have stopped. Orders from dealers whose stocks approach exhaustion form a prominent cause; another is the widely prevalent impression that action at Washington will be more satisfactory than many have ex­ pected; and a belief that in any case tbe situation will not be changed until goods now iu the works can be marketed has weight In some trades. Whatever the causes even a moderate gain is most cheer­ ing. MARKET REPORTS.

Secretary Carlisle's announcement that no proposal will be considered at a lower rate than 117,233 will make the bonds pay 3 per cent, on the invest­ ment during the time they run.

They Have Already Received •ad a Dtspatoh from Minister 0tev«*s Bated October S, 1892. All Now Laid Bar*. President Cleveland has seht to Con­ gress the correspondence in the Ha­ waiian trouble that had not previously been submitted. Mr. Cleveland makes no recommendations, contenting him­ self with a simple message of trans­ mittal, in which he explains that the dispatches hitherto withheld are now given publicity with one exoeption. His communication is as follows: To the Congress: X transmit herewith copies of all dispatches from our minister at Hawaii relating in any way to political affairs in that oountry except suoh as nave been heretofore laid before Con­ gress I also transmit a copy of the last in­ structions sent to our fbinister, dated Jan. 19, 18M. being the only instructions to him not al­ ready sent to the Congress. In transmitting certain correspondence with my message dated Deo. 18,1898,1/ withheld a dispatch from our present minister numbered 3 and dated Nov. 1C. 1893. and also a dispatch from onr for­ mer minister numbered 70 and dated Oct. 8, 1892. Inasmuch as the eontei patch of Nov. 18, 1893, are re dispatches of a more recent date now sent to Congress, and inasmuch as there seems no longer to be sufficient reason for withholding said dispatches, a copy of the same 1b here­ with submitted. The dispatch numbered 70 and dated Oct. 8. 1892, abn •till withheld for the reason Still appears to be justifiable G-BOYFB CLEVELAND. The first pie^e of correspondence is a letter from Willis to Gresham dated Honolulu, Nov. 16, 1893. Willis states that on Monday, Nov. 13, the queen visited him and he made known to her the President's regret that she had been dethroned through the unauthor­ ized intervention of the United States, and his hope that the* wrong might be redressed. He then made Known the conditions of her restoration; but she said that the persons concerned in her overthrow would 1 e beheaded and their property confiscated, as was the law. Willis then said: "I have no further com­ munication to make to you now,and will have none until I heir from my gov­ ernment." Further on Willis says: "As to the £ueen"s safety I do not have any fear at present. There is a tele­ phone in my sleeping room and I have asked her people to call me up at any hour of the night or day. She also has the privilege, as stated in previous dispatches, of coming here, or of going on one oF our war vessels." ,. He says he has had no interview with the Queen or her representative since the One of Nov. 13. The letter dated Honolulu, Dec. 14, which acknowledges the receipt of in­ structions by the Corwin, is spoken of further on. The letter is brief, and among other observations Willis says: "The excitement consequent upon the unexpected arrival of the Corwin is in­ tense throughout the city. The Presi­ dent's messi go, which was published this morning, has increased the excite­ ment, but I hope no immediate out­ break will occur." In a letter dated Dec. 18, Willis says that on Dec. 16 he had an interview with the Queen and her advisers. Under date of Dec. 20, Minister Willis in a confidential dispatch says when he secured the Queen's consent to the terms of restoration, then for the first time he made his proposition known to the Provisional Government. In a letter dated Dec. 8, Willis states thatC. B. Wilson, one of the Queen's supporters, called on him and handed him what he termed "A method of pro­ cedure upon restoration of the Queen." It provides: 1. A proclamation by the Queen's government of her reas- sumption of the control of the govern­ ment of the Hawaiian Islands. 2. The appointment of a commander-in-chief ana staff. 3. A proclamation of the martial law and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. 4. The calling upon all the loyal citizens and well- wishers of the government to register their names at the office for enrollment of volunteers. The final instructions sent to Willis by the Mariposa say that he has right­ ly comprehended his instructions; that the President regrets that the failure of the provisional government to ac­ quiesce in his conclusions constrains nim to reach and submit a measure of justice .to the Hawaiians and their dei posed sovereign.

Vose, his wife and hi. mother- in-law, Mrs. Oliver C. Holt, of Peter- boro, members of the same househol 1. To the Herald reportarwho was sent to investigate his remarkable cure Mr. Vose Baid: "I am 37 vears old, and have been railroading* for Ihe Fitch- burg for fifteen years. Since boyho d I have been troubled with a weak stomach. For the past seven years I have suffered terribly and constantly. My stomach would not retain food: my head ached constantly and was so dizzy w„. o I could scarcely stand; my ey s were qta vt the dip- • blurred; J had a bad hcartbu-". ^nd iferred tfiln the my breath wa? offensive. I had phv- now sent to sicians, bat they failed to help mo. My appetite gave out. and four y^ars ago I developed palpitation of the ove referred to, is heart, which seriously affected my i thatjnch» gourse pre&thmg,, Had terrible pains m mv !e and proper. back ana ha 3 to make w«tor m„ny times a day. I finally developed rheu­ matic signs and couldn't tloep nights. If I lay down my heart would go pit-a- Sat at a great rate, and many nights I id not close my eyes at all. I was broken down in b:dy a id discouraged in spirit, when some time in February last, I got a couple of boxej of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Befoie I had finished the first box I noticed that the palpitation of my heart, which had bothe.ed me so that I couldn't breathe at times, began to im­ prove. I saw that in going to my home on the hill from ti e depat, which was previously an awful task, my heart did not beat eo violently and I had more breath when I reached the house. After the second and third boxes I B*ew better in every other respect, y stomach became stronger, the gas belching was not so bad, my appetite and digestion improved, and my sleep became nearly natural and undisturbed. I have continued taking the pills three times a day ever since last March, and to-day I am feeling better than at any time during the last eight years. I can confidently and conscientiously say that they have done me more' goocl, and their good effects are more perma- ment, than any medicine I have ever taken. My rheumatic pains in legs and hands are all gone. The pains in the small of my back, which were so bad at times that I couldn't stand up straight, have nearly all vanished, and I find my kidneys are well regulated by them. • Tnis is an effect not claimed for the pills in the circular, fcut in my case they brought it about. I am feelirg 1.00 per cent, better in every shape and manner." The reporter next saw Mrs. Holt, who said: "I am 57 years old and for fourteen years past I have had an in­ termittent heart trouble. Three years ago I had nervous prostration, by which my heart trouble was increased so badly that I had to lie down most of the time. My stomach also gave out and I had continual i and intense pain from the back of my neck to the end of my backbone. In fourteen weeks I spent §300 for doctor bills and medicines, but my health continued so miserable that I gave up doctoring in despair. I began to take Dr. Will­ iams' Pink Pills last winter, and the first box made me feel ever so much better. I have taken the pills since February, with the result of stopping entirely the pain in the spine and in the region of the liver. My stomach is ag-ain normal, and the palpitation of the heart has troubled me but three times since I commenced the pills." An analysis of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills shows that they contain, in a con­ densed forth, all the elements neces­ sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head­ ache, the after effect of la grippe, pal­ pitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexion, all forms of weakness eitiw in male or female, and all dis­ eases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50; they are never sold in bulk or by the 100; by addressing Dr. WilUams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., or Brockville, Ont. Cold Weather Rules. Never lean with the back upon any­ thing ths t is cold. Never begin a journey until break­ fast has be3n eaten. Never take warm drinks and then immediately go out in the cold. Keep the back, especially between the shoulder blades, well covered; also the che-t well protected. In sleeping in a cold room establish a habit of breathing through the noi=e, and neve r with the mouth open. Never go to bed with cold or damp feet. Never omit regular bathing, for unless the skin is in active condition the cold will close the pores and favor congestion and other disease?. Aft >r exercise of any kind never ride in an open carriage or near the window of a car for a- moment; it is dangerous t ) health or even life. When hoarse speak as little ea possi­ ble until the hoarseness is recovered from, else tbe voice may ba^ perma­ nently lost, or difficulties of the, throat produced. Merely warm the back by the fire and never continue keeping the back exposed to the heat after it has become comfortably warm. To do otherwise is debilitating. When going from a warm atmosphere into a cooler one keep the mouth closed, so that the air may be warmed in its passage through the nose before it reaches the lungs. Never stand still in cold weather, especially after having taken a slight degree of exercise, and always avoid standing on ice or snow, or wher^t^ person is exposed to cold wind. ^7?-*, j Interior of the Earth. A theory ha i been put forth by M. Rateau iu the French Academy of Sciences that the crust of the earth beneath the continents does net t )uch the fluid globe, but is separated from it by a space filled with gaseous mat­ ter under pressure. The continents would, therefore, constitute a sort of blister, much flattened, inflated and sustained by gases, while the bottom of the oceans is supposed to rest di­ rectly on the fiery mass. By this hy­ pothesis the author believes that many phenomena of the terrestrial crust may be explained which are not clear­ ly accounted for under the pretiesd theory.--Popular Science Monthly.

A lot of minor nomina­ tions were confirmed. Both house* ad-- jourhed until Monday. Friday was a day of amusintr incldents- and excltlns debates in the Hou-e. Mr. Dalzell continued his remarks specifying certain discrepancies between the theory and practice of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson briefly replied,, denying the allegations in detail and deprecating tbe policy of dragging personalities into a. tariff debate. He closed by making another plea to place steel rails on the free list. Mr. Wilson, of west Vir­ ginia, made the principal speech in oppo­ sition. He pleaded earnestly that tbe work of t.he Committee on Ways and Means should not be altered without due consid­ eration. The amendment placing £'eel rails on the free list was defeated by a voto of 70 to 100. Mr. Henderson offered as an. amendment to the agricultural sched­ ule of the Wilson bill tbe cor­ responding clause in the McKin­ ley law. _Thls gave rise to some exciting colloquies, but no action was taken.
