ENGLAND’S lllll MOVE
British Fleet Oil-Esquimault Or-
dered to Sail for China.
'PHEASANT PUTS TO SBA
The. Imperial to Follow T-o—lIorroqull
the Others Ordered in Readiness, but
Not, Likely to Be Called For---To Trans-
form the Empress Into a Fighter.
Victoria, B. 0., Jan. 21.—Orders have
been received at Esquimault, by Rear
Admiral Palliser, from the Admiralty,
.nstrueting him to have every vessel
.n his fleet ready to start for China on
Forty-eight hours’ notice.
Immediately all was bustle around
the dockyards, the crews of the differ-
ent vessels being busily engaged rush-
ng coal and provisions on board.
Then came an order for Her Majes-
:y’s ship Pheasant to start on her trip
Lcross the Pacific yesterday, she being
nearer ready than the others. Later
.nstructions were received. for H. M. S.
Imperial, the flagship of the squadron,
to proceed to the scene of activity.
She will start to—morrow- It is not
mown whether or not Admiral Palliser
will accompany her.
It is not likely, unless the conditions
1n the Orient reach a climax, that the
other vessels at present here will'be
ordered there. The Icarius is only a
small vessel and the Phateon and
Leander, having just completed a long
voyage, are in need of some repairs.
In fact, the Leander is already in the
dry dock and the Phaeton is to follow
her.
' It is not known just where H. M. S.
Amphion is at present, but she has
probably completed herwork at Cocos
Island, and is coming north,, being un-
der orders to report at Esquimault. The
torpedo boat Destroyer wiil remain at
Esquimault.
The next order was one to have the
armament of the Empress boats ready
to be shipped on short notice.
To Add to Her Navy.
London, Jan. 21.—The Central News
says that the Government has decided,
in View of the Chinese situation, to in-
crease the personnel of the navy by 5,-
000 men, and 2,000 additional. stokers
will also be engaged within the current
quarter, besides a large number of en-
gine room artificers.
- THREE FIGHTS PENDING.
Clioynski, Jackson, Ryan and Jefi'rics
Training in California. '
.San Francisco, Jan. 21.—The sports of
San Francisco will witness, probably
Within the next two months, a series
of contests between three pairs of
heavy-weight boxers, which may de-
termine who is really the coming cham-~
pion. The Choynski and Tut Ryan
iewntyéround contest, which Will take
place under the auspices of the Em-
pire Athletic Club, is booked for the
evening of February 11, at Mechanics’
Pavilion.
Peter Jackson is training faithfully
across the bay in Alameda for anything
that may turn up in the way of a
match. Peter is tolerably confident of
meeting Maher in the near future. 'At
any rate Jackson has taken time by
the forelock and to the surprise of his
admirers he is training faithfully and
will assuredly be in the pink of condi-
‘tion when he is called upon to give
an account of himself. Jeffries is also
at work in Alameda for his prospective
match with Tom Sharkey.
Japanese Cruiser Launched.
Philadelphia, Jan. 21.—-The Japanese
cruiser Kasagi was successfully
launched yesterday afternoon. Instead
of the traditional breaking of a bottle
of champagne in the christening cere—
mony, two white doves were released
by the sponsor, Miss Long, daughter of
the Secretary of the Navy. The Ka~
sagi is the most importan ship ever
built in the United States for a for-
eign country and is the first foreign
warship launched in America since the
,Russian warship Zobica, in 1878. The
custom of releasing white doves at
the launching of a Japanese cruiser has
its origin in history, but more in fable.
Ever since Japan had a navy the cus-
tom has been in vogue, and the release
of the two young birds is to symbolize
the happy‘fruition of a great endeavor
accomplished through the intercession
of white winged peace.
The Deadlock Continues.
Annapolis, Md, Jan. 21.——The first
ballot for the United States Senator-
ship yesterday resulted as follows: Mc-
Comas 40, Shaw 18, Shryock 2, German
.47, Parran 3, Mullikin 2, Findlay 2. T0-
tal 114. Necessary to choice, 58; absent,
3.

mas 40, Shaw 1, Shryock 2, German 47,
Parran 3, Findlay 2, Mullikin 2, Barber
17.
The third ballot was: McComas 40,
Shaw 18, Gorman 47, Findlay 2, Par-
ran 3, Mullikin 2, Shryock 2. Total, 114.
After taking the third ballot the joint
convention adjourned.
Banquet for President Dole.
Washington, Jan. 21.—The programme
for the reception and entertainment 01
President Dole, of. Hawaii. has not yet
been arranged. Major Heistand for th(
War Department and Lieut. Phelps for
the Navy are in conference on the sub-
ject, and will havethe matter settled
before President Dole’s arrival, so far
as can be without consulting him. One ,
feature has been settled upon, which
will be a dinner given by the Preacuu
in the visitor’s honor.
Strike Situation Unchanged.
Boston, Jan. 21.—The morning of the
fifth day of the.strike of cotton textile
operatives in several New England
cities brought out nothing new to cithei
side, unless possibly it was a more
deeply settled feeling of determina-
tion on the part of the strikers to wail
for the manufacturers to yield.
Employment for a Thousand.
Chicago,Jan. 21.—Four hundred thou-
sand dollars are to be expended a1
once by the Illinois Steel Company ir
il.(.' erection of a slab mill at South Chi-
.-ago, in addition to the mammoth plani
already maintained by the' company
This will insure employment to at leas'
1,000 more 'men than are now on tlu
company’s pay-rolls.
HIT WITH A SANDBAG.
alvation Army .Lass‘ie Assaulted by a
I Former Lieutenant.
New York, Jan. 21.—Captain Annie
.ivingston Hughes, an assistant secre-
ary to Commander Ballington Booth
f the American Volunteers, is lying in
critical condition at her home at
)range, N. J., as the result of a mur-
lerous assault made upon her on Jan-
zary 13. Ehrich A. Prisman, an ex-
onvict, who until January 12 was a
feutenant in the Volunteers, is under
.rrest in this city and held to await
xtradition papers from the Jersey au-
horities.
Prisman’s assault upon Captain
Iughes was a mistake upon his part,
5 he undoubtedly, if he made the at-
empt, intended to kill Captain Hughes’
ister, Major Jennie Hughes, the pri-
ate secretary of Mrs. Ballinggton
300th. His reasons for assaulting
:Iajor Hughes were two—first, she had
efused to accept his attentions, and,
econd, she had him dismissed from
he service.
Major Hughes and her mother were
lefore the Essex County Grand Jury
'esterday, and a true bill will be re—
turned against Prisman to-day charg-
ng him with felonious assault in the
irst degree. It has been practically es-
ablished that the weapon which he
tsed in his assault upon Captain
Iughes was a sandbag made by a pris-
iner in Sing Sing and presented to
drs. Ballington Booth to Show that
vhen he was set at liberty he had no
urther use for such weapons.
The assault upon Captain Hughes
vas particularly brutal, and that she
vas not killed outright was due, ac-
ording to the physicians who attended
ner, to the manner in which she wore
1er hair. .
BIG FIND OF BAD MONEY.
592,600 in Counterfeits Discovered in
a New York Chilnney.
New York, Jan. 21.—Wa1ter Nash of
he West Hoboken police yesterday
‘ound $02,600 worth of counterfeit
noney in the vacant house at 542 Ann
itreet. It was all in bogus $100 notes
-n the Bank of Montreal. The house

am Broekway and his, confederates,
Lbbie L. Smith and William E. Wag-
ier. They were arrested in August,

Brockway was indicted separately for
laying in his possession counterfeit
nlates of $500 Uunited States gold certifi-
zates and $100 notes of the Bank of:
vIontreal, and fibre.
He will long be remembered as one of
he most skilful forgers and counter-
reiterS'known in this country. He was
irrested in 1880 for forging United
States bonds to the amount of $204,000.
iut sentence was suspended because
1e gave vauable information. He was
irrested again in 1883 and served five
rears for forging a railroad bond. He

n the State Prison at Trenton, having
)een found guilty of the charges which
ed to his arrrc—st in 1895. - At the time

Bagg was convinced that all the coun-
erfeit money had not been found, and
1e made an ineffectual search for it.
dash had been searching for the coun-_
' erfeits for several weeks. H went from
rellar to attic, and in the attic his per—
:istency was rewarded. His attention
was called yesterday to some loose
oricks on. the floor, and in the hole
.vhich they left he came across the
noney which had so long been hunted
for; The United States Treasury De-
partmgnt has been notified, and the
Secret Service men will take charge of
:he counterfeits and try to find the
alate.
The Peacock Throne.
A recent writer thus describes the
famous Persian “peacock throne.” It
is entirely of silver; 3. great camp-bed
structure, but modeled in lovely de-
signs. It is encrusted from end to end
and from top to bottom with diamonds.
At the back is a. star of brilliants that
make you blink. The rug on which
the Shah sits is edged with precious
stones, and the pillow on which he re-
clines is covered with pearls. Some
persons have valued it at £5,000,000.
Its real value is between £2,000,000
and £3,000,000.

DO rr YOURSELF. .
.You can tell just as well as a. physi-
cmn whether your kidneys are dis
eased or healthy. The way to do is to
take a. bottle or glass tumbler, and fill
it. with urine. If there is a sediment——
a powderlike substance—at the bottom
after standing 3. day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys.
Another sure sign of disease is a. desire
to urinate often, and still another sign
is pain in the back. If urine' stains
linen, there is no doubt that the kid
neys are affected.
Any and' all diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary pas-
sages and constipation of the bowel
are cured by Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy. There is no ques-
tion about its being the best and surest
medicine in the world for such trouble.
It quickly releves and cures inability
to hold urine, and people, young or old
Who take it. are not compelled to get
up a. number of times during the night.
For putting an end to that scalding
pain experienced in passing urine.
nothing is so good as Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy. It corrects:
the bad effects of whiskey and beer: is
pleasant° to the taste, and does not
seem to be medicine at all. Diseases
of the kidneys and bladder often re-
quire the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine can
I n such cases Favorite
Remedy should be taken without fur-
ther delay or the disease may prove
fatal. It is sold for one dollar a bottle
at all drug stores. It is well worth
many times its price.
