' London, Sept. 30.—The Evening News publishes a paragraph saying that a rumor is current in Canadian circles in London that the United States Govern- ment has made overtures to Denmark for the purchase of Greenland, with a view of participating in the advantages of the Hudson’s Bay route. ~W'ashington, Sept. 30.—The report that the United States are making overtures to Denmark for the purchase of Greenland is not confirmed by the State Department. ' “Nothing of the sort is going on to our knowledge,” said an officer to-day. “There have been no negotiations be— tween this Government for acquiring Danish territory since Mr. Seward wanted to purchase the Danish West. Indies. “As we now have all the privileges in Greenland that we want and nothingl would be gained by acquiring that vast '_ territory, there is no reason why we’ should be engaged in the reported ne- gotiations. The extent of our rights in Greenland is shown by the fact that Lieut. Peary took from the country .without any protest from Denmark its most noted and valuable possession the gigantic meteorite.” _A few years ago Denmark threatened to sell Greenland to Germany. Since the Venezulan message of President Cleveland defining the Monroe Doctrine nothing more has been heard of the proposition. ......“ __'.___ ._ ...—n.— WAR SHIPS ON THE LAKES. Cunadlans’ New. Bugaboo—Uncle Sam Accused of Sharp Practice. Toronto, Sept. 30.—A despatch from Washington says that the United States government has ordered a war- ship to be sent to the great lakes in violation of the treaty of 1815. About two weeks ago Capt. Leslie of the Col- lins Bay Rafting Company, which is laying the new waterworks conduit in Toronto, received a telegram from the naval authorities of the United States asking if he could bring the United States warship Yantic through the St. Lawrence canals. She is rather long for the existing locks, and will either have 'to be lifted up or cut off at the overhang of the stern. Capt. Leslie is now East, and it is not knowu whether his company secured the contract for bringing the vessel through the canals. The .opinion here is that the govern- ment of the United States intends to evade the treaty by keeping war ves- sels on the lakes not in the name of the government, but of various State volunteer organizations. The naval militia is not a Federal organization, but is under the control of the States. DEMAND WEYLER’S RECALL. Prominent Men of Spain Unite in Issuing a Manifesto. Madrid, Sept. 30.—The Imparcial gives prominence to a manifesto to be issued 'at the instance of several of the most prominent of Spain’s well-known and influential men of all shades of po- litical opinion. The paper does not give any names, but says that the im— portance of the movement is enhanced by the political weight of the signers, and when other signatures throughout Spain have been collected action will be taken in the proper quarter. The manifesto asks the removal of Capt-Gen. Weyler, demands that the Cuban campaign be conducted with greater energy and less cruelty, and concludes by expressing unalterable opposition to the Cuban policy of the United States. ' Annexation of Hawaii. Senator John L. Wilson says that there will be no contest in the United States Senate over the annexation of Hawaii. The only question at issue is as to the form of government, and a plan has already been broached by sev- eral Senators which would meet all re- quirements. Senator Wilson said that this plan provides for a Governor and two houses of legislation, the upper house to be appointed and the lower house to be elected. The Governor will be from this country and nomi— nated by the President, subject to the approval of the Senate. The upper house will be appointive, and the mem- bers of the lower body will be elected by the island. Senator Morgan will lead the debate, and his mission to Hawaii is to gather data. Cusz Eating Dog's. ‘ New York, Sept. 30.——Among the pan- sengers who arrived from Havana on the steamer Vigilancia were a. Cuban gentleman, his wife and ' daughter. They were met at the pier by friends. “It is the policy of Weyler to starve the insurgents into subjection,” said the Cuban, “and one of the inevitable, results is that for eight days before I l sailed there had been no meat eaten in ‘7 the Havana hOSpitals—either for doc- tors, nurses or patients. The supplies of 'the hospitals consist principally of . peas, rice, cornmeal and jerked beef from South America. “The poor people are subsisting upon dogs, as they have no money with which to purchase jerked beef, meal or rice. Oats also are eaten, and in some cases rats are a staple article of food.’.’ The Mayors’ Conv ntlon. Columbus, 0., Sept. 30.—-The first am nual convention of the Mayors and Councilmen of the United States, the, Canadas and Mexico, is in session in- this city, about one hundred and sixty regularly accredited delegates being? present. The Mayor’s opening remarks ' were brief and formal, and he closed by introducing Gov. Asa S. Bushnell, of Ohio, who delivered an address of welcome. ' ' Purkhnrst Coming Home. New York, Sept. 30.—Dr. Parkhurst’s private secretary has written to Supt, Burr, of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, stating that Dr. Parkhurst will not return to New York until No- vember 10. The reformer was in Lu- cerne when the letter was written, and was in excellent health, after a season Gen. Harrison Breaks Camp. ' New York, Sept. 30.—Ex—President and Mrs. Harrison are in this city, hav- ing left their camp in the Adirondacks last evening. _ , , " SECRETARY PORTER MAY RESIGN. He May, Run for Governor of Con- nectlcnt. Hartford, Sept. 30.——Nothing is known here of the rumor that J. Addison Por- ter, private sectretary to the President, would resign'in order to become the Republican candidate for Governor of Connecticut. Mr. Porter is known to have political ambitions, and this fact, together with his prolonged absence from Washington, probably gave rise to the rumor. Mr. Porter went to Lake Champlain with the President and did not return with him, owing to the se- rious illness of his daughter. Mr. Porter for a long time has been ambitious to be Governor. He has a ,,-, <3“. \ /;‘«§§§\ \ *\\.\ ‘6 \\\ JOE N ADDISON PORTER. strong support among the young ele- ment of the Republican party in the Nutmeg State. In 189i and in 1896 he was a candidate before the State nom- inating conventions. In 1894 he re- ceived eighty-seven votes of a total 0! 564. In the dual race with Lieut-Gov. Cook for the nomination in 1896 Mr. Porter received thirty-seven per cent. of the total number of votes cast. PINGREE TS FOUND. Michigan’s Governor Sailed for Car- acas Two Weeks Ago.' New York, Sept. 30.—-Gov. Hazen Pin- gree, concerning whose whereabouts there has been considerable mystery, is now in Caracas, Venezuela. He sailed from Brooklyn for that port on the Red D line steamship Venezuela on Sept. 15. The Governor appeared on the passen- ger list under the name of L. M. Gay- lord, and he was accompanied by his secretary, Col. E. R. Sutton. When the vessel was a day out he intended to make known his identity. He is expected to return on the Vene- zuela, which is due here on Oct. 8. Gov. Pingree is believed to have gone to Caracas to consult with United States Minister Francis P. Loomis, who is said to be seeking in behalf of the Governor a railway concession from the Venezuelan government. Why Gov. Pingree sailed under a false name is not known. Panic at a. Matinee. New Brunswick, N. J., Sept. 30.— TVhile a matinee was being held in the auditorium in the Y. M. C. A. building in this city Wednesday afternoon, a film of vitascope broke. Before the operator could shut off the current of electricity the machine was in a blaze. The flames quickly communicated to the walls and floor of the hall. The audience, mostly woman and. children, made a rush for the doors. Many es- caped by way of a back staircase. ’ The flames rushed quickly upon them, and a panic resulted, in which the Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Metuchen; John Clark, of this city, and Howard Buzzee, a boy, had their hair and faces badly burned. The firemen managed to get' the flames under control, but not until the auditorium was completely gutted. Senator McPherson Sued. New York, Sept. 30.-—In the United States Circuit Court, Justice Lacombe heard a motion in the suit which Will- iam P. Van Aken has brought against former United States Senator John R. McPherson, of New Jersey, for $50,000. Van Aken originally claimed that ex~ Senator McPherson swindled him out of a tract of land in New Jersey. Van Aken is blind. He went to Me- Pherson’s office, at 49 Church street, on May 18 to demand a settlement. He claims he was ejected by McPherson and his clerks. In the scuffle a pistol was taken from Van Aken’s pocket. McPherson claimed Van Aken tried to shoot him, but he was acquitted in General Sessions. Then' Van Aken brought suit for $50,- 000 for malicious prosecution. - Steel Rail Pool Revived. Cleveland, Sept. 30.—It is reported here to-day that the old steel pool has been revived. Orders were given to the sales agents of the Carnegie Steel Company, the Maryland Steel Com- pany, the Cambria Iron Company, the Bethlehem Iron Company and the Lackawanna Iron Company to advance the price of steel rails from-.320 to $22 per ton. These Companies are the only manufacturers of heavy steel rails in the country, and it is this simultane- ous action on their part'in raising the price of steel which has started the re- port of a revival .of the steel rail pool. —-———-—-———-do— ' Gen. Neal Dow Rallies. .Portland, Me, Sept. Bil—Gen. Neal Dow’s vitality amazes the physicians. He has rallied when on the very edge of death apparently, and they now say he may live several days.

"r H E Ev E n. 1 n GfG’Asz T T's . Bladder Disease. Bladder, Kidney and Urinary disc ‘ cases are dreadful afflictions. Their progress is usually slow. Men and - women suffer for ' years, and many die at last in great agony. Dr. David ’Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is the one "medicine that cures -, these dis- eases. It lift's people cut of sick-beds, and re- stores them to vigorous health. Strength begins = to come back as soon as the sufferer begins to take it. “For Several years,” says Mr. Richard B. Brown, a commission merchant of 306 Washington street, New York, “I suffered from inflam- mation and ulceration of the blad- der, My family physician was un- able to relieve me. Specialists failed to do me any good. I kept growing worse. I had been confined to my bed five weeks, and I didn’t think. there was much chance of getting ‘ out of it. Well, I tried Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. In a week I was able to get out of bed, and in a short time I recovered com- pletely. I can work 16 hours a day now. and to Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy all credit is due.” At all drug stores, $1 a bottle. W. That you can save money _ by buying youl Meats and Fish at F. W.
