PACIFIC MOYEBY SEEN ’
Revocation of Weyler’s Concen-
tration Order Is Announced.
M’KINLEY’S WISH GRANTED
Sagnsta lntimated In His Note that
\chlcr’s lnhnmnn Edict \Vonld
Be Revokcd, as the President
Asked—Blanco Has Taken Action.
Washington: Nov.412.—The Adminis-
tration is greatly gratified at the re-
ceipt of a telegram from Capt.-Gen.
Blanco, through Minister Dupuy de
Lorne, announcing the revocation of
Weyler’s inhuman concentration order.
President McKinley, in conversation
with Minister Woodford, has been es—
pecially solicitous for this action, and
has practically made it a sine qua non
in the negotiations for a settlement of
the Cuban question. In the Sagasta
note, sent 11 reply to Minister Wood—
ford’s presentation of his letter of in-
structions, it was intimated that the
wishes of the President in this regard
would be respected. The official noti-
fication that the action so warmly de-
sired by the President has been taken
is accepted as an evidence of the sin-
cerity of the professions of friendship
in the Sagasta note, which was read at
length at the Cabinet meeting on Tues-
day.
The prompt revocation of the bar-
baric concentration order is further re-
garded by all members of the Admin-
istration as a hopeful sign that Spain
will gradually, step by step, accept the
good offices of the United States to end
the war and allow Cuba to secure its
freedom.
Protection for Cuban Planters.
Havana, Cuba, Nov. 12.—Capt.-Gen.
Blanco has issued a circular announc—
ing that he has decided to furnish all
the protection necessary to the resump-
tion of general planting, harvesting
and reconstruction throughout the
country, especially in the case of the
sugar crop. " He further decrees that
all the island authorities are to lend
unconditional support to the proprie-
tors of farms in gathering their crops
and tending their cattle. _ '
The civil authorities are instructed to
encourage to the utmost those who are
hesitating about grinding sugar cane,
and to assure them of the necessary
military forces to protect them and
their property. The regions where ag-
riculture is more extended will be spec-
ially provided for by all the authorities
of all ranks. The latter are author-
ized to assist even those who are be-
hind in their taxes, and to do their ut-
most to' increase the commercial facili-
ties of the planters.
All war measures are abrogated in
regard to agricultural implements, ma—
chinery, etc., and the right of the rail-
roads to charge 20 per cent. on all
freight carried is also done away with.
The Government officials are in-
structed to faithfully comply with
these instructions, and they are noti-
fied that, if they show themselves de-
serving, they will be‘ rewarded in ac-
cordance with the degree of zeal they
have manifested in pushing the work
of bringing about ”reconstruction.”
Another- Concession from Spain.
TVashington, Nov. 12.——Assurances
have been received at the State Depart-
ment that the Competitor prisoners are
to be released from prison in. Cuba.
Department officials will not tell the
source of the information, but say they
are satisfied that it is absolutely cor—
rect. It probably came from the Span-
ish Minister. The information has not
been confirmed by the representative
of the Uriited States in Madrid or Ha—
vana. When such confirmation comes
it will be made public. The depart?
ment also hasreason to believe that
the postponement of the trial of the
Competitor crew, which was set for
last Monday, was due" to theintention
to release the men without further for-
malities. ,
Much gratification is expressed by of-
ficials of the department over the man- .
ner in which the Spanish Government
has acted towards Cuba since the in-
stallation of the Liberal Ministry. \
GOV. BLACK’S PRQCLAMATION.
He Names the Twenty-fifth as a Day
of Thanksgiving and Prayer.
Albany, Nov. 12.——Gov. Black has
given out his ..Thanksgiving proclama»
tion. It reads as follows:
“Theyear now passing has been filled
with occasions for manksgiving‘. Com- .
merce has flourish” and all forms of
industry have yielded reasonable re-
turns. Charity and benevolence have
been exercised and encouraged, the
rights of citizenship respected, and the,
supremacy of the law maintained. The
manifold evidences ofgeneal prosperity,
give us courage for t's-l- present and
hope and confidence for the future. For
these beneflcent conditions we should
acknowledge our gratitude to Almighty
God. ‘
“Wherefore, I, Frank S. Black, Gov—
ernor, do hereby designate Thursday,
the 25th day of November, instant, as
a day, of general thanksgiving among
the people of the State, and I recom-
mend that on that day they refrain
from their ordinary pursuits and as-
semble at their accustomed places of
worship and give devout acknowledge—
ments to God for. the blessings of this
year. _ I also commend for that day
special thongE'ati'ulneos for the, poor and
unfortunate. :30 higher for'm‘ of wor-
ship could gt'ace Thanksglvmg Day
than the cxc ':.e of a charity so gener-i
ous and strc that it will continue un-
abated throug out the year.”

Mothers Keep Them: But
With a Little Light There
Need be None.
How carefully mother guards the se-
crets of her boys and girls. At night
as she carefully tucks the bed cloths
round them she chides and warns that
mother will be angry if they repeat
last. night’s offense, soitl y saying to her-
self it’s only a habit, but I must break
them of it. This is mother’s mistake.
The children connot help it, and sweet,
clean dry beds come the resting place
of every child when it is understood
that the case is not a habit but a weak-
ness that can be cured. Active life of
the little ones tends to weakening the
kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina-
bility to retain the urine. This is a
condition not a habit, and should have
the same prompt attention you would
give to the marked symptoms of any
disease. One Doan’s Kidney pill,taken
twice a day and at bedtime, will
strengthen the kidneys of a child, and
to scolcl,"»f0r the so-called habit will
disappear promptly. Here’s a grateful
mother that adds hcr endorsement to
our words:
Mrs. William Wood who-lives at 130
Colony street, Meriden, vConn., says:
"My little boy of ten years of age has
always been troubled with weakness of
the kidneys, causing him to wet the
bed. So many mothers punish their
children for this, but I know he could
not help it. I read about Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills curing incontinence of urine
in adults and I thought they might
help the little fellow. I procured a
box and their use produced a marked
benefit at once. It is very seldom he
does it now and I shall continue giving
him Doan’s Kidney Pills until the kid-
neys are sound and strong. It is only
out of gratitude that I permit publica-
tion, but the trouble is a very preva-
lent one and most people from modesty
or diifidence do not speak of it. Physi-
cians donot appear to be able to cope
with the trouble and I consider it. a
mother’s duty to tell others about it
when she has found a specific for this
terrible annoyance.” .
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price :30 cents per box, six
boxes for $2.50. By mail on receipt of
price by Foster—Milburn Co., Buffalo,

Slaughter of the Herd.
T0 PRUVB‘ AMERICAS SIDE
Significance of the Statistics oi This
Year’s Catch—A Falling 00' oi
One-Half from the Last Season
Conferences with Canada.
Washington, Nov. 12.—The seal con-
ference opened at 11 o’clock yesterday
morning with a full representation ol
the British, Canadian and American
officials.
Statistics of the catch of seals for the
present year showed that the catch
had fallen off about one-half during the
present season, proving, in the opinion
‘of the American experts, that ‘the seal
herd was being rapidly wiped out; and,
second, that the catch of seals from
the American islands in Behring Sea
Was about 15 to 1, as between the Ca-
nadian sealers under the British flag
and American sealers. The same pro-
portion was shown to exist throughout
the waters of the North Pacific.
The Figures in Detail.
In detail the figures for this season‘s
catch are as follows:
Total catch of seals in the North Pa-
cific for the present season; 38,700,
against 73,000 last year. The total
catch this year is divided as follows:
Taken by British vessels, 30,800; by
American vessels, 4,100; by Japanese
vessels, 3,800.
The catch in the Behring Sea is 16,650
for the present season, against 29,500
last season, a reduction of about one-
half. 0f the catch in the Behring Séa,
British vessels took 15,600; American
vessels, 1,050. The figures make no
distinction between British and Ca-
nadian vessels, as practically all the
sealing is done by Canadian vessels,
which, however, are nominally classed
as British. '
Bord Greatly Reduced.
The falling off of about one-half in
the total wcatch, both in Behring Sea
and the North Pacific, is said to be
most significant. The present season
is a better one, the experts say, for the
taking of seals than last season. The
same regulations apply this season as
last. Under these circumstances, it is
said that the conclusion to be drawn
is that the seal herd’ has been greatly
reduced by indiscriminate slaughter.
Con ferenccs with Canada.
Washington, Nov. 12.——Secretary Sher- '
man and Sir Wilfrid LaUrier, Premier
1 of Canada, yesterday afternoon began
the first of a formal series of con "er—
ences to bring about an agreement by
which as many as possible of the clue“-
tions now causing friction between the
United States and Canada may be am-
icably adjusted by treaty or otherwise.
These conferences will be. independ-
‘ent of the seal conference.
THE REEDER CASE COLLAPSING.
Is Dissension Among the
Counsel for the Prosecution.
Easton, Pa., Nov. 12.—Everything
points to the bottom having. fallen out
of the prosecution against Gen. Frank
Reeder, Assemblyman W’eiss and M. C.
Luchenbach for conspiracy against
John W'anamaker.
W. C. Shipman, private counsel in the
case, appeared before Judge Scott yes-
terday and stated that there were
grave differences between Gen. Doster,
the special District Attorney in the
case, and the private counsel over the
manner of conducting the prosecution.
He argued that the method of Gen.
Doster was not such as to present the
case in its strongest light. He also
said that the appointment of Gen. Dos-'
ter was not acceptable to the prosecu-
tion, and that Gen. Reeder had writ-
ten to Gen. Doster urging him to ac-
cept the appointment as Deputy Dis-
trict Attorney. He thought this im-
proper and prejudicial to the case of
the prosecution. He closed by present-
ing a petition from Fred Van Valken-
berg. of Philadelphia. who is the pros-
ecutor, reciting the facts stated by Mr.
Shipman, and asking the Court to al-
low private counsel in the case to ap-
pear before the Grand Jury and con-
duct the case.
Judge Meyers, associate counsel with
Mr. Shipman, also addressed the Court
on the legal aspects of the case. The
prosecution. in view of' the circum-
stances. asked a continuance. if private
counsel could not go before the Grand
Jury.
Judge Scot; after listening to the re-
marks of counsel, said that the Court
would not interfere in the case; that
the case had to go to the Grand Jury
at this term; there would be no delay.
This was a rebuke to the private coun-
sel. He called Gen. Doster and asked.
him if he was ready to proceed, and,
receiving an affirmative reply, directed
the case to go to the Grand Jury.
'Rhereupon, Mr. Shipman and Mr. Mey-
ers withdrew from the case. ‘
