The Cuban Committee's Visit Both
Pleasant and Profitable.
Prospect of Improved Condttiou in
Kentucky Secretary rte- and the
IsttmiianCanal
Washington, D. C, (Special) Presi
dent McKiniey has left Washington
on the loagfcbt trip evex tanen by a
president of the United States. The
total distance to be traveled by June
15, when the presidential special is
due to return to Washington, 'is 10,561
mileb. Harrison made nearly as luiig
a trip in iyi, wnen ne leit wasmng-
ton April 14 and returned May 15 af-
dent McKiuley, like President Harris 1
son, is opposed to traveling on Sun
day, except in cases of absolute neces-.
sity, and the special train will be -side
tracked every Sunday during ine trip.
The schedule gives the following in
the order named as the Sunday stop
ping places: San Antonio, Texas; Dei
Monte and San Francisco, Jal.; Spo
kane, Wash.; Salt Lake City, Utah
and Chicago. Pour- members of the
cabinet, Secretaries Hay, Hitchcock
and Wilson and Postmaster General
Smith, left w ashiugton with the pre'
ident, and Secretary Long, who has
gone to visit his daughters in Colora
do, will join him before San Francisco
is reached One car of the special
train Is fitted out as the president's of
fice and the presence of Secretary Cor
telyou and several of the White House
corps of stenographers, will make it as
easy for the president to transact ex
ecutive business on the train as be
could in Washington. Bat unless
something unexpected turns up, he
does not expect to give much time to
business. There is no need for him to
do bo, us there is little likelihood of
anything having to be disposed of be
fore his return that cannot be handled
by the three members of the cabinet
Secretaries Boot and Gage and Attor
ney General Knox, left in Washing
ton. In fact, the business of thg gov
eminent is just now .largely ' routine,

AFFAIRS IN KENTUCKY.
L. C. Willis, mayor of Shelby ville,
Ky., and a good republican, who is
now in Washington, thinks the demo
c ats of the state are recovering from
their long attack of partisan delirium.
He said: "I think that daylight is com
ing for our poiilican dilnculties in
Kentucky, and ib will e a scource of
much gratification to all of our peo
ple. The acquittal of Capt. Ripley,
by the jury at Frankfort, the hot bed
of agitation over the killing of Goebel,
is a sign that the court and jury are
determined to give the accused a fair
trial. That is all that anybody on
either side can ask. This action prob
ably forecasts the acquittal of most of
the othet suspects who are yet to be
tried. There is one noticeable differ
ence between the recent trial and
those held last year. The Ripley jury
were 'drawn out of the wheel,' as pro
vided in the Kentucky law, but last
year Judge Can trill, when the panel
was exhausted, directed the sheriff to
make up the jury. It is pretty well
understood what kind of a jury a
sheriff will get in such cases."
THE CUBAN COMMITTEE'S VISIT.
The visit of the Cuban committee to
Washington has not only been pleas
ant to all concerned, but it bas been
productive of much good. The doubts
which the Cubans and their fellow
members of the constitutional conven
tion had as to the construction of that
clause of the Piatt amendment in
which the right was reserved by this
government to intervene whenever in
its judgment it might become neces
sary to preserve order in Cuba, was all
cleared away by the explanations
made by President McKiniey and Sec
retary Root; and they now see the es
tablishing of naval coaling stations in
Cuba by the United States in a much
more favorable light than thy did
when the matter was discussed in the
convention. Those two clauses of the
Piatt amendment are the only cues
that were seriously opposed by the
convention. Members of the commit
tee have said privately that they
would recommend to the convention
when they return, which will be at
once, that the Piatt amendment be ac
cepted, and nave expressed the opin
ion that the recomendation will be
favorably acted upon. The Cubans
did a great deal of talking about the
general desire of the people of the is
land to obtain reductions in our tariff
on sugar and tobacco, even after they
were made to fully understand that
the tariff was a question that congress
only could deal with. ' President Mc
Kiniey, however, told tjheni that after
the Cuban government had been or
ganized; he would be pleased to ap
point commissionersF to negotiate with
its representatives " commercial re
ciprocity treat
SECRETARY HAY,
Secretary Hav held ciuite !a recep
tion before hi left Washington. Many
the most prominent members of the
i. i ....... ;
'ML &
i is on every box of the genuine
BrornoQiriniae Tablets
diplomatic corps intend going to Eu
rope this summer and expect to be
gone before Secretary Hay returns
Consequently they called, not only to
say goodbye and express their good
wishes, but to incidcutly.-put in a word
or two on diplomfcic matters. . Secre
tary Hay stated Ahat he had secured
the views of a Jeunicient number of
senators to justify the belief that a
new Isthmianlcanal treaty can be
negotiated wita Great Britain that
will be ratified by the senate. It is ex
pected that the new treaty will be
ready by the time congress assembles.

"At one time I suffered from a se

E. Crary, editor of t he Guide, Wash

recommended medicines without suc
cess, 1 tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
and am pleased to say that relief came
as soon as I began its use and a com
plete cure speedily followed. This
remedy has also been used in my fam

results. I cheerfully recommend its
use to all who may need a first class

A Stranger Lays Down the Burden of
Life on the Railroad Track.
About 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon
two strangers came up the railroad
from the direction of Spartanburg.
One was James Boring, from near
Maryville. Tenn. The other gave his
name as Evans, from Georgia. Boring
complained of being ill and both men
sat down on the side of the road. Bor
ing fell over asrainst Evans, gasping
for breath. Unable to relieve his
friend Evans hurriedly went to the
Maj. Barker residence for assistance,
but 'soon after he returned with oth
ers the dying man expired.
Coroner J. G. Waldrop was sum
moned, but as there were no suspicions
of foul play, he held no inquest. The
body was turned -over to Undertaker
Robison and on Monday afternoon
was interred in the cemetery at the
cotintv home -
Dr. Waldrop has received the follow
ing letter from John L. Goddard, post
master, Maryville, Tenn.:
'Yours with regard to James Boring
received today. H lived near Mary
ville, Tenn., and left here about four
weeks ago with W. J. Oliver & Co.. R.
R contractors, and went to Savannah,
Ga. We suppose he was on his way
home. He had heart trouble before he
left here. He has a young wife and
four children who were depending on
him for support. They were not able
to have him sent hack here. He left
here with about $15 and would now
have another month's wages, 20. The
company was to pay all his expenses.
His wife would like to have his clothes
and any other things he may have
been carrying. Please ship them to
Maryville, Tenn., addressed to Mrs.
James Boring and she will pay the
freight or express here."
Dr. Waldrop shipped the things as
requested.
Shudders at His Past
"I recall now with horror," says
Mail Carrier Burnett Mann, of Le
vanna, O., "my three years of suffer
ing from Kidney trouble. I was hard
ly ever free from dull aches or acute
pains in my back. To stoop or lift
mail sacks made me groan. I felt tired
worn out. about ready to give up,
when I began to use Electric Bitters,
but six bottles completely cured me
and made me feel like a new man."
They're unrivaled to regulate Stom
ach, Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. Per
fect satisfaction guaranteed by W. H.
Justus. Only 50 cents.
Quarters Moved.
Superintendent Wex Israel has
pitched his tents just beyond Mud
Creek trestle and, with a gang of six
teen convicts, is grading the FlatRock
road along th Barker bottom. From
the two channels of the creek the
bridges and road bed are being widen
ed and raised above high-water mark,
and will be much improved.
Sunday evening many people visited
tbe convict camp through curiosity,
as it is situated just about close enough
for a nice walk from town. The quar
ters are in a splendid condition, the
tents being clean and also the clothing
of the convicts. All who happened to
be there during meal time highly
praised the authorises for tbe plenti
ful supply of lood served, whicn was
also well cooked. It cannot be said
that the convicts of the county work
on "short rations."
The lighthouse at Cape Kaliakra, on
the European coast of the Black Sea,
was destroyed by the earthquake on
March 31. Steps have been taken for
the provision of a temporary light.
