In company with State Geologise Holmes and Mr Leazar, superintendent of the penitentiary, he visr ited the newly-bored artesian well at Hope Mills, near Fayetteville. Your correspond ent interviewed him, and the Governor said: with the welL The hty gallons a minute, eet deep. The prospect ning water in this way ies, and aleo at the State farmsTTi let a great chancre. The water is sUTTaswA great purity. At.Hore Mills there was much sickness, but since the use of this artesian water the improvement in the health of the factory operatives ia so great that it may be termed perfect. The waier will be distributed :by the pipes through the village. From Hope Mills we went . to the , soft coal mines at Cumnock. Chatham conntv. and went to the bottom of the shaft. It is a great property, and the supply of coal is practically inexhaustible'. The output now i 150 tons daily. and tbe quality is very superior. It is a good coking col. In some pia es where the granite rock is forced up through the coal seamst the coal is par tially coked. This is not marketed with the other coal. The plant is fine and very complete " . As soon as the criminal docket is disposed of the United States Circuit court here will take a recess until January 13th. The dis trict attorney says the criminal docket may be disposed of by next Saturday. T tie Carolina Grocery company was to dny incorporated ia-the office of the clerk of i he Superior court of this countv. Jos. ti. Brown, Charles C McDonald and E L. Harris are the incorporators and the cap ital stock is 150,000. in f5U shares. The water is again, low in many of the strpams. This is the case in the Neu9e river. Mayor Russ at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night recommended the appointment of a city physician. ' There is much opposition to any immi gration to this State; more, in fact, than is generally supposed The State has an immigration bureau, but it is maintained without any cost, so the taxpayers at least can do no growling. There are now forty children in the Epis copxl orphanage at Charlotte. Rabbi Calisch, a talented young Jewish rabbi of Richmond, preached in the Bap tist ch urch at Henderson night before last. Tbe church was tendered specially for his ue, and a splendid address of welcome and introduction was made by- a leading Bap-, tist. Mr. William Ashe, well known as an ex pert in forestry on the State geological sur vey, is now at Atlanta, haying, been pent there by Governor Carr to look after State property and to distribute literature regard ing North Carolina. "" The persons who are opposing the lease of the North Carolina railway have employed tour legal nrms to make the hght in the courts. ' .The "graveyard insurance" cases at Tren ton next week will attract much attention. There is a wide variance of views as to whether the persons charged with the great swindle can be convicted. ,.- Governor Carr has received a request to order a special term of Beaufort Superior court, bfginniDg the .second week in Janu ary, for the trial of the four young men charged with assassinating J, B. Bonner at Aurora. - Ex -Congressman Cheatham, colored, who is contesting tbe seat of Congressman Woodard. is saying positively that he will win his case. He was here yesterday. There are several gentlemen whose names are mentioned in connection with the ap pointment to the position of labor commis sioner, so soon to be vacant. The Supreme court will devote next week to the call of appeals for the Eleventh dis trict The new handbook of the State, which the Agricultural Department will issue next year, will be by far the best advertisement of the State's resources ever issued. It will trive accurate information regarding every county and will be properly illustrated. Want Mr. Cunninggim Returned to Fifth Street Church. Wilmington, N. C, Dec. 7. Editors Messenger: On Monday, the different pastors of the Methodist churches of this city, will leave for conference, to be held at Eliza beth City. The people will greatly miss Rev. W. C. Norman, whose term of four years as pastor of Grace M. E. church, expires this year, as he will be sent to a new pastorate, where he will aga'n make friends. Now as to the pastor of Fifth Street church, he has only served una year.. He took charge when the church was in a bad financial condition, and spiritually bad, but in that quiet Christian manner of his, has not only won the i. flections of his own congregar tion, but cf all who came in contact with him He has fncraased the spiritual condition of his members! fcairreclaimea it, good number who had become luke warm, and has gained quite a number of new members; besides be got rid of over 1,600 of floating debti without making a big fuss over it, and is quietly working in the interest of the church to try and pay the large defct which hangs over the congregation, casting a gfocoi on them Mr. Cunuinggim has passed through forest trouble since he took charge here. Iu the flrst plapa he bad ope of the sweetest ChrUan mothers. who passed over the river, ano ja resting under the Hhade of the trtjes, in the new Jerusalem;" then later on, his fattier left this world for a better one, after working for God all of his life. Brother Cunningsim, with all of this affliction, still visited the sic s, poor and distressed, and gave con solation to many a broken heart. I do not think there ia any doubt but that he will be returned to a congrega tion who loves and reveres bim. It is for the interest pf tbe church, and for Methodism that he should be returned. His salary will be paid in full and the members though poor, feel that they cannot do too much for him. Member, Xhe pnb.lo Expenditure. The Southport Leader of Thursday publishes "the annual report of each member of the Board of Commissioners of Brunswick county,, as required by law." The commissioners also publish a full statement of the claims audited by the commissioners for the fiscal year ending November 80, 1895. Bj the way, the law also requires such publication to be made ju New Hanover county, and it would be a very proper thing to do for the ealigbenment and satisfaction of the people,.

I see nothin? to in dicate any changes. The Republicans should have too much sense to think of catching us Populists in a trap. We are in the middle of the road, and intend to remain there." STOCK BROKERS WILD Over the" Slump In. Tobacco Trust Shares Exciting Scenes on the New York: Stock Exchange. New York, Dec. 7 It is only once in a long time that Buch excitement is seen on the floor of the Stock Exchange as characterized the opening this morning. Of late the in dustrial stocks have been monopolizing the attention of speculators, and each has taken its turn in surprising operators with some wild movement. Yesterday it was Chicago Gas which boomed up. To-day it was To bacco which broke wide open. Before the chairman's g-vel dropped nearly every broker on tbe floor was about the Tobacco trndinp nost. I hfV fnnfht anrl inlimhpd nmr Teach other to get as near the centre of the crowd as possible, wnen tbe gavel dropped a roar as of a tremendous explosion burst out, and holders of tbe American Tobacco company's stork, who read this morning th at the directors had decided to pass the quarterly dividend of 3 per cent." upon the common shares, threw their stock over in blocks. The price at the close last night was 78i bid, 79 asked. This morning it was offered 4 points down, then 5, then 6 then 7, then 8 and then 9 points below yesterday's last sale. In the first few seconds after 10 o'clock 8,000 shares had been Bold at prices ranging irom vo down to 7U. rne neavy dealings continued, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 and 4,000 share lots being thrown over between 71 and 73.

Reported for the Messenger. - GEEKN8BOHO, N. C, Dec. 7 3After religious exercises. the committee on State missions was appointed. Rey. Dr. Bell, of Nashville, Tens., ad dressed the convention in the interest of the publications of the Southern Baptist con vention the Sunday school literature, and presented four reasons why Southerd Bap tists Bhould patronize tbe convention's pub lications: First, because they are ours and as good as any others; second, they are the work of our own brethern, and as orthodox as Southern Baptists themselves; third, tbe board is a well managed concern (last year's receipts amounted to $53,000, out of which was expended ' for" Sunday school work about $16,000); f o rth, not only has it done good for the-Sunday school work, but was a helper for the Mission Boards. A committee was appointed to consider the mission work to the negroes. The committee on State missions reported. Tbey bad collected and expended upwards of $ll,000r and it was recommended that no backward otep be made, but a forward one. and the convention placed the amount to be raised at $15,000. , Eev Dr. Carter, of Raleigh, addressed tbe convention, ana was toiiowea oy icev. n. M. Jordan, who gave an account of some of his missionary labors in the bounds of the convention, prefacing his remarks by say ing "that he was-65 years of age, had never drank a drop of liquor, never used tobacco, never danced, never played a card, and mar ried the first girl he courted, had been preaching 45 years, and had baptized be tween 3,000 and 4,000 people." Rey. A. E. Wilcox gave an account of new work at Roanoke Rapids, where facto ries and other machine' Shops were being erected The following committees were appointed: Sunday Schools and Colportage, Home Mis sions, Foreign Missions, Periodicals, Fe male University, Obituaries, To Nominate tbe Board of Miapion, To Nominate the Board of Education' and To dominate the Board of Ministers' Relief, Preachers and Place of Next Meeting. . . ' The committee on home missions reported and the contention waB addressed by Rev Dr. Tichener who is secretary of the board. It has been fifty years since the organiza tion Pf the Southern' Baptist convention. Tien tbe Baptist' of the South numbered 250 uOO, now there are 5,000 000. -.This Board had helped in every State capital, but one, in the Southern States and in almost every principal city. The committed to ponsider the mission work to tbe negroes reported a "Plan of Co operation," with the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist convention, the Home Mission Society of the South, the North Carolina' Baptist convention whiw, and the North Carolina Baptist convention colored. Rev. Dr. Morehouse, of New York, ad dressed the convention. He stated that the colored peopie were either a factor of great good to the South or Of ere mischief ; that they were a great trust . Baptists had a larger representation ong them than all other denominations combined, and that our responsibility . was proportionately larger. The expense would be the first year to the convention KGOnd year 844, the third year $760. Dr. Morehouse js a vigorous speaker, re minding one of Mr. J. C. Chase Professor Crowley, president of the Agri cultural and Mechanical college, colored, was recognized and responded to an invita tion to address the convention. He made a very pleasant and conservative speech and made a good impression on the convention. He ts a bright mulatto. t-- - Professor Meserve, president of Shaw uni versity, of Raleigh, also spoke ia accord with tbe "plan." The "plan of co-operation" was adopted unanimously by a rising vote. Probably this may be tbe most important move the convention wili make. The report of the committee on the Bap tist Female university, at Raleigh, was made. -Tne committee had contracted for the first building, at a coat of $28,000, with he North Carolina Car company, and the building was ""o the second story.

CONCEALING TRUES STATE OF AFFAIRS IN ARMENIA. Christians Butchered by the Thou sands The Powers Afraid to Dis close the Horrors of the Situ ation Ltoofcing to minister Terrell for Facts The brltlsh Press on the j Olney Note Eng land Grasping Territory. London, Dec. 7 What information is ob tainable and the nature of the consular re ports that are reaching the Foreign Office confirm the worst fears of the destruction of the Armenians within the area from Trt-bizond southeast to Van, thence south west to Alexandretta, on the Bay of Isk anderoon, from Alexandretta slightly north east to Kara-Hissar and from Kara Hisaar northeast to Trebuond. Whole Christian towns and villages have been pillaged and burned and their inhabitants massacred. Those who have been left alive have been forced to abandon their faith and turn Mo hammedans. Accurate details concerning the condition of affairs in the districts beyond the immediate spheres of the consu lates remain wanting, but there is no reason to doubt the reports, derived from fugitive survivors and the better sort of Turks who have not shared in the outrages,- that a simi lar condition of affairs exists 'in 'those places. i The correspondent of the Speaker, the pa per which first gave publicity to the Ar menian outrages, is now known to have close relations with the consulates in Con stantinople and from information derived from them he estimates that not less ,500, 000 persons have either been killed of are now dying of starvation and beyond the chance of timely relief He says that after the soldiers had sacked the Armenian towns and villag'-s, tbe Kurds completed the plunder. The latter mixed what grain they could not carry off with dung and set fire to tbe honses, leaving the people with no food and their homes heaps of smouldering ruins. The Ambassadors have advised tbe Porte to permit the Red Cross society to under take the relief of the distressed people, but the presence of hundreds of Red .Cross agents would reveal horrors that the Porte niut conceal. This fact debars the pcsi bihty of the Government giving its assent to the plan. The representative of tbe United Press, who has been for some time in Constantino pie ia the interests of that organization has received a letter from the Hadjin mission, which begins with the words: "We are alive, praise the Lord." The letter refers to the prominent part that Circassians have taken in the atrocities around Hadjin, and says that 10.000 Circassians and Turks were actively employed in sacking tbe Christian villages.- Tbe Governor did nothing to pro tect the Christians, and even refused them permission to defend themselves. He did, however, promise the aid of regular Turkish troops, who, the writer states, were of the same feather as those engaged in the mur ders and pillage in the face of these statements, the official Turaish statements repeatedly communi cated to the press, that order had been re stored everywhere, become worthless. If the Foreign Office published all informa tion, says the Speaker, Lord Salisbury would not dare to appear iu puDUc. lie would D mobbed in the streets. An article written bv Mr. William O'Brien id the Jietnte Politiqrte on "The European Aspect of the Irish Question." has attracted unwonted attention, owing to the developments in the East. Mr. O'Brien ajgues that the Irish bond of sympathy with England's enemies has not entirely disappeared. The new movement begun in Chicago ought to be for statesmen a matter of study. The Irish-Americans have sufficient influence with the United 8tates Government to stop the progress of a family entente between the two great English speaking nations. Tney nave also the power to arouse an enemy that .England has the most reason to fear in the world. The yoa'-g men of the Gaelic Athletic associations, he ays. would form a ready made army for a French or a Russian expedition which would pat rifles in their hands, and they would capture Cork and Limerick and hold them long enough to allow Irishmen to rally to tbeir flag. Mr. O'Brien is of the opinion that the English fleet watching tbe channel could not prevent a landing in Ireland. The latest instance of British greed for new territory is the proposed protectorate over Lower Siam, which would place the whole Malay peninsula, from Singapore to Burmeh. under British rule. The Wentmin ter Gazette states that the extension has been on the cards for years and has been clearly explained to France. Such a protectorate, it is . claimed, would be welcomed by the Malays, who are now only nominal tribu taries of Siam, while the mineral and other resources of wealth in tbe country are of great importance to Great Britain. The other papers curtly refer to the acquisition in a similar strain as if it was the natural conse quence of the position of the territory be tween countries already bell by .England. In accordance with unvarying precedent, tbe reply of Prime Minister Salisbury to tbe note of Hon. Richard Olney, the Amer ican Secretary of State, on the Venezuelan dispute, will not be issued by tbe Foreign Office until it is presented to Parliament. It will be a surprise to everyone if Lord Salis bury in bis reply, has not firmly declined to admit the right of tbe United States to interefere in the dispute' between Great Britaid and Venezuela, especially to insist that the whole case shall be submitted to arbitration. The English public takes small interest in the dispute: of the attitude of the United States on the injatter. Not the re motest reference to te subject has been made on the political ' platform during the period that the Prime Minister has been wrestling with Mr Olney's note and the reply thereto. The comments in the press alone indicate the line of British opinion, wbfch, according to the newspapers, is un animously against arbitration concerning (he territory within the Schombourk line. The Statist says : "Neither for its own sake nor ours is it expedient for the United States Gpver&ment to put forward a claim as of right to dictate how we shall conduct a dispute with another country relative to territory that has long been held by the Brit!"h. Tbe United States Government i entitled to offer its good offices, but there is a wide distinction between these and inter vention based on the ground that the United States has the right to forbid any Govern ment in' tbe world to enlarge the area under its jurisdiction in any part of the American continent. Still there ia not occasion for heroics. Tbe bit of territory! iu dispute is of small value while good relations with the United States are of the highest value to us and civilization," The Spectator says: !' President Cleyela i addresses Great Britain in the tone of a master in laying down principles so abso lutely. His sentences read as if Great Britain had been ordered to choose arbitra tion or war. Negotiations will not be car ried on in that tone unless the President and the American people are seeking war, a crime ot which we would not even mentally (vnn thoni " The Economist, treating on the same sub ject declares that Mr. Cleveland's words mean that Great Britain must not defend what she considers her own soil against any Bpanish-American State under penalty of the United States declaring war It is im nnmible for Lord Salisbury to yield to such pretensions, yet it is more difficult for him to deal with them so as to avoid exasperat ing American feeling. His1 only sensible course is to repudiate seeking for any exten sion of territory and do nothing, leaving on Venezuelan or the United States the respon sibility for aggression." Alluding to the suppression by the For eign Office of the consular statements con cerning the massacres at Anatolia the Spec Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report tator says it hones the Foreign committee of the American Sentte will procure the pub lication of Minister Terrell's dispatches, as it is quite clear tbit he has nominced mat ters in reporting td his GoveiW'Tit, Bv agreement between t6 powers the official dotal Is of the massacres are mean while withheld, s their publication would endanger th safety of the consuls and even the ambassadors. It is held to be possible that tbe Sultan, if his deposition were im minent, might permit or iuvi an attack on the embsies. During the revolution that resulted in the dethronement of Abdul Asiz the Russian Ambassador filled I the precincts of the em bapsy with Montenegrins. The Austrian embassy was guarded by hundreds of Croats, and the Frence embassy by marines. -' he British ambassy is by far the strong- of any embassy in Constantinople and best adapted for defense against sudden 1 tack. it stands in its owa spacioui grouna, over looking the Golden Horn. Its one entrance is flanked bv masive structures in which guards are constantly on duty. A strong and solidly buut iron fence ten ieet nign surrounds all the grounds. Report has it that its internal armament includes Beveral cannon. Sir Henry Elliott.the British Am bassador at the time of tbe deposition of Abdul Asiz, deemed the security of the em bassy so complete that he took none of the extra precautions adopted by other Ambas sadors.

Analysis of the nk8ttement. New York, Dec. 7The New York Finan cier says this week: The statement of aver ages of the associated banks of NewYork city for the week ending December 7th shows a continuation of the liquidation in loans which had been a; marked feature of this statement for twelve weeks past, lhede crease in the loan item for tbe six days cov ered by the report was only $2O8.80Jl-it is true, but the totat renects sncrpiy ine rail ing off .since September 14th, the los in the time mentioned haying been no esi than $33,000,001 The loan item for the weetc ending December 7th is only t9,000 000 in excels of the lowest point recorded during the present vearor on April 6th last.- De posits, however, on that da-e were only $501,000,000, as against 1521 000 0 "0 for tbe week just ended In the face of this fact, coupled with tbe knowledge that the de posit item for the current wsek shows an actual increase, it is difficult to understand on what basis a firmer money market is predicted. If the gold exports of Saturday had been figured in the statement, deposits would have shown a decrease, but the heavy move ment from the interior is clearly shown in the gain ot"$l 905.600 in cash by tbe banks. Tnis expansion- promises to continue for some time to come, if the domestic ex change figures rre a criterion Chicago quoted New Yrii exchange early in the week as high 8h 85 and 90c and tbere have been advances elsewhere through the West.

New York, Dec. 7 The Sun's cotton re view says: Cotton fell 2 to 3 points, but re gained the loss and advanced 3 to 4 points, then receded and closed steady at a net ad vance for the day of 1 to 3 points, with sales of J6,600 bales. Liverpool declined I to 1 point for future delivery, but was unchanged on the spot, with sales of 10,000 bales. Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged, closing steady at 8ic for middling vim, with sales of 320 bales for spinning. The port exports approximated 40.000 bales. Port re ceipts were 36,700 bales, against 38.055 a week ago. The New Orleans estimated re ceipts for Monday were 16,000 to 18 000 bales, against 12,434 last Monday. The receipts at the ports this week are estimated by New Orleans at 230,000 bales, allowing for 10,000 to be cleared from Port Royal, against 231, 157 last week. To-day's features were: Notwithstanding the fact that Liverpool news was disappoint ing and that the speculation was small, there was only a slight decline in the early busi ness, and even this very soon recovered, and a small net value was established. Liverpool sold the summer months to some extent. To-day the market seemed to be for the moment oversold, and as the crop movement is small, and Liverpoal, though slightly lower for future .delivery, was active and steady on the spot, the bears deemed it prudent to cover, and prices accordingly closed slightly higher. Most of the .cotton is believed to be in strong hands. The weak long interest has been largely eliminated, and the bulls think the undertone bused on the low supply and demand There is evi dently some increase in the dems-cJ tor cot ton at tne South. The exports were large. Oor Commissioner In China. Washington, Dec. 7 Reports received at the 8tate Department indicate that the Chi nese Government has done everything to facilitate the inquiry of tbe United States commission sent to Cheng Tu to investigate; the riots in the province of Szechuan in June last and has made special efforts to impress natives with tbe dignity and importance of the commisMoners. No information that the commission has reached Chene Tu has come to the department, but it is believed that they have arrived there The reports mentioned state that the commission, con sisting of Mr. Sheridan P.

The Southern'. Hew Termlnns at Nor folic, Washxhgton, Dec. 7 The Southern rail way will enter Norfolk, Va., the first weefc in January, running its trains over the Wil mington and "Weldon from Selma, N. C, to Twrboro and over the Norfolk and Carolina from the latter point to the new terminal point at Pinner's point, on the Norfolk harbor. ' Great numbers of men arc at work on the Southern branch line between Greensboro and Selma, putting in iron bridges and preparing it for heavy through traffic. The Southern will at once become a more active competitor of the other roads terminating at Norfolk, and exp-- 0 secure a fair share of the business from the Bteamer lines on Chesapetke bay and by sea Secretary Hyde of the Southern, says this road, for. the present, will exchange freight with all the steamer lines instead of establishing exclusive connections.

Members Anxions to be on tbe Committee on Elections Civil Service Rales Extended Poetoffloe Employes Forbidden to Act as lobbyists. lord Salisbury's Reply la De livered. Washington, Dec. 7 So far as Speaker Reed's influence goes, the conclusions reached in tbe contested election cases now before the House will be based on the law and evidence and without regard to partisan considerations. Upwards of fifty members of the House have applied for assignment to the Elections committee and many of these gentlemen have preferjsd their request per sonally. Mr. Seed h? repeatedly sought from these applicants an expression of opin ion as to the spirit in which, their work would be undertaken in the event that they be placed upon the committee. To such as he, has talked he has expressed a desire that the work should be expedited, in view of the very considerable expense which wil1 accrue to the Government from delaying a settlement of the cases and he has also em phasized his belief that the committee's conclusions shall be wholly free from polit ical .bias, and that each contest shall he settled strictly upon its merits. There is now apparently little doubt that two Elections committees will be formed.in order to facilitate matters, and it is among the strong probabilities, so far as any one can anticipate Speaker Reed's actions, tbat tbe chairmen of the two committees will be -Messrs. Daniels of New York, and McCall of Massachusetts. The President has amended the ciyil ser vice ruffes and broueht into tbe classified service about forty five additional employes. The amendment reads that special .depart mental rule No 1, is adopted by striking from the list of places excepted for exami nation in tbe department of labor statistical experts and temporary experts. 8o much of thaexecntive order as provides for tbe ap pointment of special agents in the Depart ment of Labor by non-competitive examina tion is hereby revoked. Gret disnnpointment was expressed by members, of the House to-day that the Presi dent should have left the city yesterday and thus have delayed laying before them the information contained in Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary Olney's letter, which reached Washington last eve nine-.Such of the Representatives as feel a keen and patriotic interest in the Yenesnplan boundary ques tion and these constitute practically the whole House haveexpected that the Brit ish Premier's answer would be immediately forwarded bv the President in a special message to Congress The President's ab sence will prevent the Honse.for possibly ten days, from receiving this information, unless some other method of procuring it is reached. Mr. Livingstone, of Georgia, who is con spicuously friendly to -Venezuela, believes that he hss evolved a plan which will get tbe Salisbury letter before the House hy next week, i--' n locks to the introduo- of a reX , when the House re- bles on V calling upon the Sec- of State s letter to Lord Salis- written 1, aly last, and the British s repiy, reeivea vesteroay, ii mis compatible with the public service. Mr Livingstone will ask the immediate con sideration of his resolution, which if it be adopted may be followed by the correspond ence wjthin the next twenty-four or forty-eight hours. The Postmaster General to-day issued the following significant order respecting all posal employes: " Viiat frSSftSr no postmaster, postoffice clerk, letter carrier, railway postal clerk or other postal employe shall visit Washington, whether on leave with or without pay, for the purpose of influencing legislation before Congress. Any such employe who violates this order is liable to removal. Postmasters and other employes of the postal service are paid by tbe Government for attending to tne respective duties assigned them, which do not include efforts to secure legislation. That duty is assigned to the representatives of the people elected for that purpose. If bills ari introduced in either branch of Con gress affecting the postal service upon which aDy information or recommendation is de- sirei, 1 am ready at all times to submit such as lies m my power and province At 11 o'clock to-dv Sir Julian Paunce fote, the British Ambassador, came to the State Department bearing Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary Olney's note m regard to the proposed Venezuelan tioundary artu tration. The document was in print. The British Ambassador was saved the neces sity of going through the formula of read ing to Secretary Olney the exceedingly lengthy communication by perceiving that Secretary Olney himself bad a duplicate in his hands which had been transmitted to bim by Ambassador Bayard by the same stearaer as that which conveyed Sir Julian Pauncefote's missive aDd which had reached him last night. This naturally shortened the official ceremony. The pre sentation ot tne note barely occupied ten minutes. Tbe reading of it would have consumed several hours. The confidential clerks declared with much emphasis for some hours atterwards that the British Am bassador bad not been at th State Depart ment to. day ana t s- c the British note had j ok oeen received. conditions In some conditions the gain from the use of Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver-oil is rapid.
