,WIFE’S" AWFUL CZ A My wife was in the most horrible condition of any human being, from Eczema. She could neither sit down nor lie down, her torture was so intense. ‘I'tried all the doctors that I could reach, but she got so that I firmly believe she would have died within twelve hours if I had- not been advised of CUTICURA REMEDIES and got them. My wife went to sleep in two hours after the first application, although she had not slept for seven days, and with two boxes of Custom (ointment) and one cake of CUTICURA SOAP she was absolutely cured, and > is well and hearty to-day.

PAYING Extra Military Commission 15 Not Pro-. vi'ded for by Any Law Now on the Books. Clerks “in Not Be Disposed to Testify Against 'I‘lieir Superior-s. Washington, Sept. 13.—The president has not yet succeeded in filling the military commission to investigate the conduct of the war. The refusal of ,General Gordon, former secretary La- mont and Mr. Lincoln to serve, has caused some embarrassment. The president considered these men special- ly desirable,-and'uD to this time has not found men .to replace them. Several names have been sugegsted. These the president has taken under consideration. In the absence of or- ders of an official nature, regarding the. work of the commission, the investiga- tion is the .subject of much gossip am- ong army officers. An officer with whom an interview was had yesterday expressed the opinion that the commis- sion would not have the requisite pow- er to make inquiry as thorough as the president desired. He said that it would not have the ‘power to compel the at. tendance of many desirable witnesses. He predicted that clerks in the va- rious bureaus of the war department would testify with great reluctance re- garding the work of their superior offi- cers. The compensation of those who serve on the commission and its general ex— penses is another important matter. How can this be taken from the appro— priations for “war purposes” is not clear, and the officer says that this cannot be done. As far as can be learned it "is the intention to have the commission sit in Washington with power to visit any and all places it may deem necessary and to send for persons and papers. Expenses of this kind must be provi- ded for, but no law can be found gov- erning the case.‘ Should the commis- sion be a purely military one, appoint- ed to investigate the administration of the affairs of the army, the case would --be different. These are some of the points which are being raised in army circles. Oth- ers will follow. The Cuban Commission. Havana, Sept. 13.—The United States Cuban evacuation commissioners 'held no meeting yesterday. At 8 o’clock General Butler, two members of his staff and a. doctor, landed at La Ma- china wharf and went for a carriage ride through the streets of Havana, ta- king photographs of the public build- ings, etc. ‘ At 9.15 a. m., Colonel Claus, accom- panied by Colonel Hart, the interpre- ter, visited Senor Montero, the secre- tary of the treasury, bearing a sealed communication; undrstqod to refer ,to the next meeting of-the commission- ers and other details. For the present, communications between the commis- sions are gxchanged in writing. The United States commissioners have not engaged rooms ashore. are remaining on board the Resolute. Secretary Day’s Resignation. Washington, Sept. 13.—Judge Day has handed his resignation as secre- tary of state to the president. The name of Ambassador Bay’s successor is not yet announced, and as far as can'be ascertained at the department of slate, no person has yet been chosen to succeed Senator Gray on the Cana- dian commission.- There is a growihg notion that this vacancy will not be filled, as the commission has proceeded so far with its work that one member more or less will! not affect the re- sult. ,Dleyfus Case l’nslpoued. \ Paris, Sept. 13_.———Two cabinet meet- ings have considered the qu'eStion of a. revision of'the Dreyfus case, and the cabinet hasad‘jo‘urned until Satur- day at the request of the minister 'of justice, M. Sarrien, who is desirous of more time to consider the matter. President Faure retired Colonel Du Paty de Clam at the suggestion of the minister for war, General Zurlinden.

Augusta, Me., Sept. 13.—The election in Maine passed off very quietly yester- day, a small total vote being thrown, the smallest for twenty-five years, but the citizens of Maine have sustained the national and state ad :iinfsirations with the largest majority given in the last twenty-five years, with two ex- ceptions, 1894 and 1896.
