The relations of the United States and enezuels are feceiving the close attention of the European chancelleries, which aro keeping constantly advised from Caragas, It is said that this is due to the desire of the European countries to maintain the same cominercial rights at Venezuelan ports as now exist. The last Venezuelan controversy led to an agreement of the Powers to have Belgian officials administer the Customs at certain Venezuelan ports, and it is now desired that the present con- troversy shall lead to the displacement of the Belgians and their possible replace ment by Americans at the leading Ven czuolan ports It is also desired 1 maintain equality in tariff rates for Egro- peans and Americans. The idea prevails in high quartera that the controversy may lead to the European nations being placed at a coumercial disadvantage.

Her husband was private in the 13 h Rifle Regiment, and when she saw how the ranks were thinning and that no relief scemed at hand sho 44. volunteered, and, with her husband, vanced to the first fighting lines and proved herself an excellent marks-women, fearless Her name was Haritina. and

Beresneff is one of the strongest of several fortified heights of Tainkhacheng, position situated on the south slope of the Taling Range, eighteen miles southwest of

Fortunately friendly representations made by neutral powers have to a certain extent relieved neutrals of some causes for anxiety, but it is to be earnestly desired that at the soonest possi- ble moment after peace has been declared an International Conference be arranged to consider what further improvemeals can be effected upon the existing Treaty of Paris, so that should war again unhappily break out between two great powers that loss and dislocation to neutral trade, which must inevitably arise, under such circumstance, be reduced to a minimum. As we all know the broad-minded and capable statesman, who now directs the policy of our kinsmen on the other side of the Pacific, has already prouosed such a Conference, and we believe his proposal has been cordially adopted by the majority at all events of the leading [.powers.

RECOMMENDED BY
THE WORLDS: FINEST PHYSICIANS.
AXATINE is the mildest sperient known. It is pleasant in taste, not drastic but certain in action and even in large doses is harmless. Lazatine being non-init able will be found a great boon, to ladies especially, and in cases where the kidneys are irritablo or diseased. Laxatine is strongly recommended by the Continental Authorities and is being largely used in the London hospitals. Mesere A. S. WATSON & Co, L., have been appointed the Hongkong Agents for this preparation,
