PITTSBUBG, Nov. 24.—The mysterious M's. Gerst‘. so prominently identified with the Public Grain and Stock Exchange and its missing manager. W. E. Delaney. is fast becoming an interesting personage in the many rumors afloat. She is said to have hidden money for W. E. Delaney in many cities and traveled under many names. She is now very sick. but is un- der surveillance of detectives in the em- ploy of swindied lumbermen. A few weeks before the Delaney failure she was in Chicago under the name of Mrs. Ross. Still more recently she Was in Chicago as Mrs. M. Gray. Both times she is believed to have put money in vaults. On. Nov. 6. it is said. she went to Toledo, and, under the name of Mrs. John Harris, placed a pile of cash amount- ing to over $12, 000 in a vault of the Home Savings bank of that city. Other names which she has adopted are Junie Emerson and Margaret Christy. The money which she placed in the To- ledo bank was attached on Wednesda by Samuel M. G. Gates Of Bay City. ich. The amount of Mr. Gates’ claim is $18,500. Important developments are promised soon, and this is believed to mean that if Mrs. Gerst makes any move toward get. ting any of the money out of the vaults. where it is. she will be prevented from doing so by the attachment of the cash, as was done in the case of the deposit at T0- ledo. The report that Mrs. Gerst is ill from poison lacks confirmation. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Closing Quotations of the New York Stock Exchange. 4 NEW YORK. Nov. 13.—Moucy on call may at l per cent.

SMILIN G THROUGH TEARS. She May Not Be as Pleased at the Outcome. as She Pretends to Be, However, For She Hoped That jJapan \Vould Accept Our Good Offices. WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-—-The latest China-Japan developments disclose an in- teresting game of diplomacy. The cable advices, stating that the British officials are delightedqvith the rebuff sustained by the United States in Japan’s rejection of mediation. cause much amusement among the officials and diplomats here who are familiar with the facts. While the British version that the United States acted en- tirely alone in its offer and without the co-opcration of Great Britain is literally true, yet it is also known that her maj- esty’s government for trade or commer- cial reasons heartily desired the success of the movement, as it was feared a continu- ance of the war might affect British com- mercial interests in the east disastrously. The sentiment of British diplomats on Japan’s rejection of our overtures is there- fore tempered by financial considerations. From the outset of the negotiations Great Britain has shown the greatest anxiety to have the war terminated, and the foreign office has twice submitted formal requests that the United States join Great Britain in intervention. The in- terest of Great Britain in the matter was known to rest on no sentimental ground, but because of a desire to preserve China, one of the greatestcommerciai markets of English merchants. In official circles it was well understood that the British offer was at the instance of China. ' How the Offer Was Made. The United States declined all over-- tures from England, but at the request of China made the independent offer of mediation. The request coming from China and being in the interest of Great Britain’s policy of preserving China was known to have the moral support of her majesty’s government, even if it lacked the open cooperation of the foreign oflice, which would have been unacceptable to this government if it involved any en~ tangiing alliance. Since then China has bent every efiort to have the American proposition accepted. andowing to the re- lations between China and Great Britain it is not doubted that the latter country" hasdesired the American proposition ac- cepted. -'Any, delight, therefore which British officials may express at Japan’s “snubbing” the United States is attribu- table to personal reasons and not to the failure of the object Great Britain has earnestly sought. The latest phase of the controversy—the departure of China’s minister of customs for Japan to arrange terms of peace—further assures the offl- eials here that China has embraced the peace policy along the lines openly pro- posed by the United States and covertly desired by Great Britain. It is regarded as natural that English dlplomatists should prefer that their ultimate aim— peace—should be achieved with as little distinction as possible for the United States as the mediator. Great Britain Bejoices. LONDON. Nov. 24.—The rumors which have reached here from Washington to the effect that Great Britain is supporting or co-operatin g with the United States in the attempt being made to mediate between China and Japan are declared in Ofl‘lclal circles here to be altogether incorrect. The United States gcgernment is understood to have acted entirely upon its own initi- ative and with complete independence of the powers. 0n the contrary, England has noted the rebuff sustained byfltbe United States with positive delight. The foreign office is not displased tosee the United States fall after Great Britain’s snubbing in a similar attempt. The pres- ent attitude of England in regard to the war between China and Japan is one of complete inaction. She is awaiting:de- velopments. especially as advices have been received from Japan which show that she is not likely to listen to any peace overtures at the.present. as she is prepared to carry on a winter campaign. A Desperate Battle. YOKOHAMA. Nov. 24.—-—The Chinese Pei- Yang squadron is reported to have shelled the Japanese troops marching upon Port Arthur. A desperate battle between the Chinese and Japanese fleets is said to have followed. The result of the engage ment is not known. The Chinese battleship Chen-Yuan was disabled by accidentally striking one of the torpedoes which the Chinese had plac- ed at the entrance to the harbor of Wei- Hai-Wei. She has been beached. Blew the Safe to Pieces. ELIZABETH, N. J., Nov. 24.——Burglars broke into George M.

An Allegation That the 01d Indict- ments Are Defective. NEW ONES CAN’T BE FOUND. A Suggestion That There Is Really No Serious Desire to Prosecute the Once Popular Founder of the Na- tional Weather Bureau. WASHINGTON, Nov. 24,—Captain Henry W, Howgate may soon be a free man. The former chief of the signal service was ar- rested in New York Sept. 28 for stealing $370, 000 from Uncle Sam after 12 years spent in evading detectives. It caused a great sensation. for Howgate, in his palmy days, was chief of the. weather bureau, which he established, and a well known and popular government official. He made his escape and added to the romance of the case by living in New York for six years as a book store proprietor under an assumed name, going about openly un- molested by the secret service~ officials un- til his love for rare works betrayed him into their toils. It has always been thought that there never has been any real desire to capture Howgate. and from the developments to- day it is pretty clear that there is no de- sire to prosecute him. He led the gayest of lives when in' office and was the inti- mate friend of so many men high in edit cial life that it has always been the popu- lar belief that important persons were very much interested in preventing dis- closures which would certainly be made if he ever was arrested and brought to trial. Can He Be Convicted? But ex-Chlef Drummond cf the secret service saw fit to make the arrest, and the prisoner has since been in jail here, await— ing arraignment before the court. Now comes the story that it is useless to try to convict Howgate, and that the govern- ment officials are convinced that the case against him is so weak that he cannot be punished. There is talk that he will not even be brought before the bar. It is said at the city hall that the case for the government is practically on the verge of collapsing on account of the de- fective indictments brought against the accused man 13 years ago. It is also said that there is little use to attempt to bring about another investigation by the grand jury. as it would be impossible to obtain fresh indictments. Still it is said that the charges will be brought again before the grand jury, and that as many witnesses as can be found will be summoned to tap pear. It was this decision that disclosed the doubt on the part of the government of the adequacy of the old indictments, the demurrers to which, District Attorney Birney says, will be immediately argued. Two officials who have a complete knowl~ edge of the case said today that the courts would not overrule the demurrers as a matter of law, and that the government already recognizes that it is hopeless to expect them to do so. The objections to the old indictments set forth in the de- murrers are that the charges of forgery in the four indictments for forgery are not set forth as the statute requires. Oth- er objections are entered against indict~ ments for embezzlement. Very \Veak Evidence. Mr. Worthington, counsel for Howgate, has served in the district attorney’s office and has familiarized himself with the weakness of the case. Government ofli« eials admit that the evidence of embezzle- ment is particularly weak. and they say that it is extremely doubtful whether enough of the witnesses can be got togeth- er to prove their case. The chief obstacle in the way of new indictments. it is said. is the statute of limitations, which declares that an in- dictment cannot be brought after the ex- piration of three years from the time the crime is discovered. There is one excep- tion to this law. and that is when the ac- cused man is a fugitive from justice. As Captain Howgate ran away, it would seem as if he could be brought within this classification. but the officials hold that this point could not be settled except after long litigation. If, they argue, Captain Howgate had escaped from the District be- fore his arrest and indictment. there would be no question about his having been a fugitive and no danger of his being protected by the statute. But they say it is a matter of record that the criminal proceedings against him were completed, with the exception of the trial. and that it is a doubtful question in the eyes or the law whether he was a fugitive from justice. except in the popular sense of the term.

An Amherst Lady Relates Her Ex- DBI‘lBHGB to a Reporter. -Sait Rheum. impure Blood and a Hacking Cough that Baffled Physicians. Finally Cured. Sprnigfield, Mass. Republican. In the town of Amherst, Mass, Mr. Geo. B. Pierce and his mother are widely known as the proprietors of the Amherst Creamery Associatinn. Mrs. Pierce has been a sufi‘erer for a long time with Salt Rheum and a distressing cough that foreboded Consumption, but they have given away to health and vigor. Hearing of this a reporter called on Mrs. Pierce and the following experience was related : “Fora long time I was a sufferer from Salt Rheum,” said Mrs. Pierce, “but about two years ago I slipped and hurt my knee. This seemed to make my Salt Rheum worse. I can’t begin to tell the agony I was in, my limbs became a mass of raw flesh cov- ered with running sores. My friends would say they were afraid I would not live too see another spring, and thought so too. Well I heard bf Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy and Dr. David Kennedy’s Salt Rheum Cream ; I sent for them and commenced using them, and In three weeks I could walk out of doors. Why, last night I walked a mile and I am sixty.three years of age. It shows that Dr. Ken- nedy’s Favorite Remedy and Salt Rheum Cream can do more than the physicians, for they made me well after my doctors told me I was incurable. I must also tell you of another preparation Dr. Kennedy advmed me to use, which did as much for me. It is Dr. David Kennedy’s Cherry Balsam. I have had a wretched cough for the past fifteen years, the best doctors in this part of the state united in saying that it was incurable, and that it was only a mat- ter of time before my lungs would give out—my sleep was restless, I would lie awake for hours. I well recollect the first time I need Dr. Kennedy’s Cherry Balsam. It relieved my threat at once, and;I slept all through that night,which was the first full night’s rest I had in several years. It seemed like a miracle. I took but two' bottles of Cherry Bal- sam when I was entirely cured. Mrs. Pierce’s neighbors confirm her statement, and it Was found that Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, Cherry Balsam and Salt Rheum Cream had made others in Amherst as happy by curing them of some disease. Favorite Remedy ranks with the medical profession as the most perfect of all blood and nerve medicines. It restores the liver to a healthy condi- tion, and cures constipatidn. It isa certain cure for all diseases and weak- nesses peculiar to females, and affords protection from attacks that originate in change of life. It cures scroiula, salt rheum, ulcers tumors, rheumatism, dySpepsia, all kidney, bladder and urinary disease, gravel, diabetes and Bright’s disease. In this last disease It has made many cures where all else failed. Dr. David Kennedy’s Cherry Balsam will cure the worst cases of asthma, bronchitis. coughs, colds, incipient consumption, ' whooping cough or Group. ’i‘akenln connection with Fa- vorite Remedy, it has never been known to fail. Price 25c, 50c and $1.00 a bottle. Dr. David Kennedy’s Salt Rheum Cream is for external applica- tion and is sold at 500 a package. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy costs $1.00 a bottle or six bottles for Full directions accompany each bottle so that any one can readily .un- derstand just how to take them for the different complaints. no The New Czar Pleases. ~ LONDON.
