In an interview, Judge Andara said We believe that if the United States in- terferes at the present time it will create B complex situation. In Venezuela both the National and Liberal parties are united Against Castro, and we are confident we can overthrow him ourselves and save the United States from a possibly unpleasant affair. I believe that all foreign nations look vethis country for the proper payment of their claims awarded by the Protocol; If Castro is delinquent it is surely the business of the United States to collect, but we can save the embarrassment that
would naturally arise.

A Journalist's Death.
Mr Harold F. Pipor, who for some time past has been in the employ of the Hongkong Telegraph, died at the Govern ment Civil Hospital last night, after an operation for abscess on the liver. Mr Piper was a native of England and pom- menced his journalistic career in the Mid- lands. He first came to the Far E-stabout. 8 years ago and went to Shanghai as Sub- Editor of the North China Daily News. During the Boxer trouble Mr Piper acted as correspondent for an American newspaper,— and finally left Shanghai for the Straits.. In succession he filled positions on the Struts Icho and the Bangkok Observer, arriving in Hongkong during the autumn of last year. He then began to write for the Telegraph and continued in harness, despite his ill-health, until a few days ago, when he was removed to the hospital. Ho was 36 years of age when he died. The funeral is to take place to-morrow morning.

An important committee representing one branch of the cervico has reported in favour of the short rife. The new rife is meant for war and not for target shoot- ing, is one of its answers to the criticisms that have been passed upon the new weap.

LAXATINE.
THE NEW IDEAL PURGATIVE.
FOR ALL LIVER, KIDNEY AND HEMORRHOID TROUBLES.

Laxatine is strongly recommended by the Continental Authorities and is being largely used in the London hospitals. Messra A. S. WATSON & Co.

THERAPION
This successful and bights popular remedy, as rruployed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan Jobert, Velican; ond others, combines ali the desiderata to be sought in a modicine of ihu: kind and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPION No. 1
in a remarkably short time, often a low days užly, removes all discharges from the ugnary organs, superseding injections, the use of which does ure: parable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious

for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots,
blotches, pains and swelling of the joints, secon-- v symptoms, gout, rheumatism, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to ens ploy mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction "of sufferera" teeth and rula of health. This pres paration purifies the whole system through the. Slood, and thoroughly eliminates every poisonoxis matter from the body

from chest wounds, while, ag regards other wounds, the percentage of recoveries was larger from wounds in the head and ab. domen than from injuries to other

about the same.
YOU MAY HAVE IT, AND NOT KNOW IT.
THE kidneys are intended by nature to drain off the surplus water and the body's impuritics. You know how well and strong and robust you feel when the kid. neys are working right. You feel right in overy way.
But how do you feel wlien the kidneys become clogged and diseased ?
Tired, miserable, sleepless, nervous, rest- less, back lame. and aching and weak- Can't stop can't stand, without pain; rheumatio, gouty, dizzy, weak, no appetite, etc.
These symptoms and a thousand others come from the impurities in the blood, which sick kidneys have not taken out of the body.
Doan's backache kidney pills tone and heal the kidneys, and enable them to take all these disease poisons out of the system. The medicine's offect is quick and sure; it does not set on the bowels, only on the kidneys and bladder.
The pills do one thing, and do it well. All the chief chemists and medicine- dealers sell Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, price 2/0 for 1 box, or 13/9 for 6 boxes; the medicine may be had, post free, on receipt of price, direct from the proprietors
