PUBLIC AUCTION..
London, Juno 24.-At the National Con- vention of the Republican party now being held at Chicago, Mr Roosevelt was propos ed as the Republican candidate for the Presidency. When the proposition was made the convention cheered for 21 1189 minutes. The motion was adopted on the roll-call unanimously. The National Con- vention of the Republican party of the United States at Chicago insists on the maintenance of protection as the cardinal' the measure of protection should always be at least equal to the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad, This is considered a victory for the extrema pro tectionate, and a renunciation of Mr Roose- velt's pledge to pursue the policy of the late Mr M Kinley. The convention endorses commercial reciprocity wherever reciprocal arrangements are possible consistent with the principles of protection, and favours the building up of the merchant marine and a powerful pary, the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, exclusion of the Chinese, increase of the pension list, reduc- tion in the negro representation, and pre- vention of a combination of capital and labour infringing the rights of the people. Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks has at been nominated by the convention as Vice- President against the wish of Mr Roose- velt:

bereut inclination to doubt the progressive attitude of Government departments-an Inclination not always unjustifiable—is in- clined to accept optimistic statements /regarding the General possibilities and the performances of foreign-built submarine bosta. In view of this, an interesting state- want made by Captain Bacon, who is in charge of the British submarine flotilla, and our greatest authority on the submarine- bost, is of great importance.

The determining point was really the vulnerability of the craft.

The stability probleins have all been solved now; Captain Bacon did not in this or in any other connection give any details of the British boats.

with the view that the crew of the Hubmarine boat should have the saine chance as those tighting our ironclads; but all warships are designed primarily to fight, and one cannot make omelettes without breaking eggs. The idea of subdivision by bulkheads has been considered; but it was of first importance to have a knowledge of the physical characteristics of the sailor, and this experience led the designers to disponse as far as possible with small com. partments, so that men would have com- pany when they were submerged. The Ad- miralty preferred to depend on the brains of the men under conditions where mecha- nical appliances, if they went out of gear, would prove dianstrous. From first to last Captain Bacon's statement, based on pra- tial experience in service with the busts, backed as it was by Sir William White's viows as an authority on naval problems, especially when taken in conjunction with the undoubted enginering ability of the Vickers Company, the Tuilders of our submarine boats, will most ellectually Assure the public that, so far as submarine work is concerned, the British Navy have attained a success, and that their attitude is certain to be thoroughly progressive.

Parts of all foods are useless, and should be expelled. They are not expelled where Constipation and liver troubles exist. You may clear accumulated impurities out of your body by the aid of Chas, Forde's Bilo Beans, but if you neglect to remove them you will suffer. Constipation will derange your whole system, causing head- ache, biliousness, nervous troubles, sleep. lessness, and general weakness and pains, with perhaps piles, rheumatism, and akin Here is a recent case of grave disease. constipation cured by Bile Beans:-Mrs Maria Price, of 100, Mayfield Road, Goa- port, England, says: I suffered from constipation, headache, and digestive dis- orders and became very much run down. I was so weak that I used to have to lie down every now and then because of a faintness which came over-me. This con- dition went on for so long that I determined to consult a doctor. Mentioning this intention to a friend, she said :-'Why not taking try Bile Beans?' I did so, and after taking a short course I felt very much better. therefore persevered with the Beans, and am glad to say that I am now quite well. The symptoms which troubled me--the con- stipation, faintness, and headaches-have now left me altogether. You may publish this statement.'
Constipation, when neglected, is a cruel amiction, and it causes such weakness and pain that the sufferer in time becomes quite unfit for work. The real cause of constipa tion is a weak or torpid liver. When you exhaust your liver and digestive organs by the excessive use of drugs and stimulante, or by eating heartily when these organs are weakened by chills, overwork, or long fasting, then you are almost sure to suffer from indigestion and constipation unless you use bile beans, which are the best remedy in the world for those ailments, They help the liver and digestive organs to porform their work of turning the food into wholesome nourishment and expelling the refuse. A too constant diet of rice and always tha, varied by salt fish or meat, i produces constipation, piles, bilionaners, and indigestion and whenever those ail- ments Appear Bilo Beans will prove an untold, blessing.

Despite the assertions of war corre spondents with the Russian main army, who. it may be remarkod, can know nothing of what is going on at Port Arthur, the state- ment that the Japanese made an assault on the 10th instant and were repulsed with the loss of thirty thousand men is utterly dis- credited in Japan. As to such an ovent occurring by the explosion of things, the Japanese authorities in Tokio say the state ment is ridiculous, No such dienster of auch magnitudo could in practice occur from such a cause.

A Delightful Function. A delightful afternoon was spent by about 400 people yesterday at 'Mountain Lodge, where Mrs May's At Home' was hold. Down in the city of Victoria it was close and hot, but at Mountain Lodge' there was a coolness in the air that added materially to the comfort of the guests. The officers of the Botanical and Afforesta- tion Department had devoted some time to the beautifying of the grounds, and their efforts had been crowned with success, for the grounds looked a veritable picture.

forcing the blockade. The Japanese fest has now entered upon the hardest stage of its campaign. While it is taxed with the most difficult blockade service, it never fails to make an attack on the harbour en- trance when opportunity offers. The Rus siana have now stationed a battleship or large oruiser as a guardship at the entrance, as perhaps they fear that the Japanese may venture upon another blocking expedition, the entrance having now been cleared from obetaoloa, but their guardships have been repeatedly attacked and the Askold in reported to have been badly damaged, so that the service of a powerful ship as a guard has proved to be no great value. What course, the Jiji asks, will the Rus sians now take to prevent the mouth from being blooked again ? In view of the fact that Chineso junks maintain communica. tion between Port Arthur and Chefoo, some may doubt the efficiency of the blockade enforced by the Japanese fleet, but it is utterly impossible for any flost to effect a complete blockade where very small vessels, are concerned. The communica- tion of Junks is, moreover, sometimes of service to the Japanese. Those employed
