Lucky Manila Merchants,
The Munity Cablenews publishes this: Through the energies and abilities of Coudert Brothers, the famous New York law firm which has a Mapila office under the management of the John W. Hausser- mann and Charles C. Cohn, Manila mor- chants will have returned to them by the United States government from four to six million dollars, the amount of duties paid by them in the Philippines on goods from Spain and the United States after the ratification of the Treaty of Paris and bo fore the ratification of the Philippine Act by Congress.
RC sexARE
The American Commercial Company will get about 1,000,000 pesos, the Pacifio Oriental Trading Company hundreds of thousands, F. C. McCullough and Com pany a large amount and scores o of other firms varying sums; Coudert Brothers will, it is understood, receive a fee of 600,000 pesos, as they handled the claims of the contesting firms on the basis of a third of what was recovered.
The distribution of this sum will mean much for Manila. It comes out of the treasury of the United States and is a rare piece of fortune. Scores of small firms will bo aided by the money they will re 1376 ceive. Even the popular Mayor Brown has not been neglected by providence, and will come in, it is said, for about ten thou aand, pesos.

PETTICOATS IN REVOLT.
BERLIN, Feb. 18.-An amusing episode which occurred during the days of terror at Warsaw is described in a private letter from that city placed at the disposal of the Tageblatt.
The writer says: The pupils of age of the classes of the Indies' school in the Capuziner Strasse, which my daughter at- tende, marched in n body to the head- master and presented a petition praying for a.constitution, and demanding that instruc tion should be given in Polish instead of in Russian. The hoadmaster, beside him-- self with
anger, tore the petition into shreds, and smacked the bold girl who in the name of her fellow-pupils had
it.
had presented Thereupon there was a tremendous outery, and all the girls, having rushed in from the other class-rooms, commenced a furious bombardment of the headmaster with pencils, slates, books, copybooks, goloshos, pen wipers, garters, and anything. that would serve as a projectilo.
White with rage, the headmaster rush-
ed to the telephone and informed the Chief of Police that a revolution had broken out Bis school. The Chief of Polico, HUMPHREYS ESTATE AND judging from the schoolmaster's tones that something must have happened with which the police alone could not deal, summoned a sotnia of Cossacks, and, accompanied by them and their officers, quickly arrived at the school.

New Yonx, Feb, 17.-The New York HK Undersigned has received instrucOOKING done by a Europene Cook, ALL KINDS of LIQUOR served with
Auction police have been requested by the British Consul to circulate far and wido a descrip-
tion
on of the Hon. Arthur Reginald French,
son of Baron de Freyne, who has mysteri- ously disappeared
Mr French arrived on board the Cunard liner Umbris on January 16th,
1, with the intention of visiting his uncle Capt. French, who owns a ranch in New Mexico. He went to the Hotel St. Denis, where he remained until the 19th, when he mysteri ously disappeared; leaving behind his Jug- gage, which is still at the hotel. His non- arrival prompted his uncle to communicate with the British Consul here, with the result that inquiries were institute, and the above facts elicited.
The search for Mr French has been, so far, without result, but several grave fauts have been ascertained. The purzer of the Umbria states that Mr French was very reserved during the first half of the voyage. to New York, but afterwards suddenly be camo friendly with four strangers. The purser entertained suspicions of these men, and warned Mfr French of their doubtful character. He replied that he would only be stopping in New York long enough to 'do the Bowery, and would then proceed straight to his uncle's estate. The missing man is reported to have had in his posses :sion n draft for £200, and this is stated to
have been cashed here.
The Evening Sun states that a pas- Henger who came over in the Umbria *
with Mr French also disappeared at the same time, and states that the draft was returned to England, where it was duly honoured. It is stated that Mr French came over to the United States with the object of making a fresh start in life on the 4 ranch belonging to his uncle. He had little means, the draft which he carried with him representing his eutiro fortune. He came over here as a second-class passenger.
A telegram which has just been received here from Philadelphia states that the police there have been advised to search for'e man named W. S. Clark and find out from him what he knows about a man named Clark who cashed the draft. The two men are supposed to be identical. The missing man is the eldest sor of Baron de Froyne, of French Park, Co. Roscommon, Ireland.
LIVER DISORDER CURED,
ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR BILE BEANS.

THEN the system becomes loaded with impurities the liver is unable to perform. its task
of circulating pure blood throughout the body. The result is that the whole system is deranged, the blood becomes foul, and the disorder spreads through the whole body, giving rise to such irregularities as skin disfigurements, and discolourings, etc. A certain cure for this ailment is Bile Beans, which thoroughly cleanse the polluted system, and assist the liver in its work.

I lost all my colour and became so weak and listless -hat I ceased to take interest in anything.
I consulted a doctor, who, having amined me, said I was suffering from liver complaint, while at the same time my heart. was also in a very bad state. He prescribed for me, but his medicines did not do me a bit of good. I then went to Salisbury Infirmary where I was treated as an out- patient, but though I attended for three months I got no better and almost gave up hope of ever boing well again. The pains I suffered in my head were dreadful. If I stooped down I felt sick, and my head DRAWING ROOM SUITE, PICTURES, MARBLE- sesmed as if it would split open.
