Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that to, by a lady in this coun—
try. “ Disease fastened its clutches up-
on her and for seven years she with—'
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking the first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.”, Thus writes W. C.

GENERAL MILLER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
, .
Told to Land~ and Communicate with the
.' ' ' Insurgents.
,VJashington, Jan. 10.--The govern-
ment’s, instructions sent to General
Miller at 110110, were to land and get
in communication with the insurgents.
This is as far as his orders have gone. ‘
except that when he has established
communication with the insurgent offi—
cials and people he is to make public
the purposes of the United States gov-
ernment. ,, .
Not a shot is to be fired by the for-
ces of this country unless they are at-
tacked,- or until further orders are giv-
en from here. '
This programme was agreed upon
between President McKinley and Sec—
retary Alger several days ago.
Secretary Alger was at the White
House for some time yesterday after-
noon. He stated in the most emphatic
terms that no alarming news has come
from General Otis and he did not
believe ‘a shot had been fired so far,
or that one would be fired.
He is confident that General Miller
will be able 'to handle the situation suc-
cessfully and obtain control of Iloilo
without blood-shed. He is of the opin-
ion that the insurgents have been so
long imposed uponthat they 'are nat-
urally suspicious, and fear the worst
if they surrender their strongholds in-
to the hands of the United States.
Filipinos Blame Americans.
London, Jan. 10.--The Filipino junta
of Paris has received a telegram from
the Filipino agent at Hong Kong say-
mg:
“Fight with the Americans unavoid-
able. ,W'e are not the aggressors."
A telegram from an English house
at Manila says that the situation is
strained and that there is much anx—
iety there.
The dispatch also contained news
from lloilo, the substance of which
was that the American troops had not
yet landed.
Harder Than 6 day Race.
New York Jan. 10.——The twenty-four
hour bicycle race which ended in Mad-
ison Square Garden Saturday night, is
declared by the riders and trainers to
have been the most remarkable ath—
letic contest ever held.
There has never been a long distance
cycle race in which the leaders have
been so close together, and there has
never been a race in which head work
and not speed, was such an important
factor.
The riders and trainers all agree
that the race was harder on the riders
than any contest they ever rode in or
witnessed; niuch'more so than a six-
day race.
It was the alternating pace that kil-
led the contestants. For'four or five
laps they would sprint around the
little track at a. two-minute—for-the-
mile gait.
Then they would settle down to a
four—minute gait, only to start another
sprint in a few minutes.
i 'A Quay Decision To-(lay.
lIfhiladelphia,Jan. 10.--No decision
wa's,.rendered by the supreme court
yesterday upon the application of Sen-
atOr Quay, Richard Quay and former
State Treasurer Haywood for a writ
Of-_certiorari, argument upon which
was heard on Saturday.
It is now believed that the court will
make its.opinion known to—day. The
court spent some time in conference
on‘ Saturday after the argument had
been 'heard, and it is rrmored that it
arrived at a decision. But there has
been no time since that for the writing
of a formal opinion.
Several members of the legislature
were in court yesterday morning, but
all: of them were of the anti—Quay per-
suasion. Neither counsesl for the com-
monwealth nor for the petitioners was
present although representatives from
the offices of Messrs. Shields and Shap-
ley, Senator Quay‘s attorneys, were in
the room.
Gov. Roosevelt; and the Police.
Albany, Jan. 10.—-Govern0r Roosevelt
will have no announcement to make
regarding the .New York city police
administration until he has gone over
the field carefully, and certainly not
until he has fully digested the report
of John McCullagli as superintendent
of the metropolitan election district. If
a good military officer could be found
to put at the head of the police do-
partment in place of the present police
board, the idea certainly Would find
What
is wanted is a non—partisan and not a
bl—partisan administration of police af-
fairs in New York city. Such an offi-
ccr has been suggested in the person
of General Roe, present commanding
officer of the National Guard.
Alaska’s High Taxation.
\Vashington, Jan. 10.—-Governor Bra.-
dy of Alaska, who has arrived here, is
anxious for the enactment of the Car-
ter bill, which has passed the Senate
and is in committee in the House, mak-
ing three judicial districts in Alaska.
He says that there should be greater
appropriations for administrative pur-
poses, pointing out that the marshal
is unable to make arrests on the nu-
merous Islands for lack of transporta-
tion funds, and that the governor has
none to aid him with.
‘ The governor wants the School ap-
propriation this year raised to sixty
thousand dollars. He says many peo-
ple who rushed into the Klondike re-
glon arecoming out, largely because
of high taxation, and that thousands
have started for the Atlin district.
A Workingmen’s Convention.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 10.--The second
annual convention of the State Work—
lngmen’s Federation was called to or
der by President James A. Lavery of
Poug'hkeepsie, in the supervisor’s room
in ‘ s city, this morning.
A ...ut two hundred delegates, repre-
senting more than one hundred and
fifty organizations, from all sections.
of the state are in attendance at the
convention. , p
The federation was organized in this
ccity last January by the amalgama-
tion of the Workingmen’s Assembly of
the state of New York and the New
York State Federation of Labor.
