Contemplated Attack on the Cadiz Fleet.

Received Wakapuaka June 16, 9.45 a.m, Guabdian Office 10.26 a.m. Washington, June 15 A number of the swiftest American warships are assembling at Hampton Roads. The impression prevails that an attack on Oamara's fleet at Cadiz is contemplated.

RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION IN CHINA.

— < « United Press Association — By Electric Telegraph — Copyright Received Wakapuaka June 16, 9.45 a.m, Guardian Office 10.26 a.m. Pekin, June 15 Extraordinary activity is shown by the Russians m their negotiations with the authorities at Pekin. The right has been obtained to construes a railway from the south of Pskin to tb.9 watershed of the Yang-«ze-kiang river. The railway will bo continued through the watershed by the Belgian Govern ment, acting under the patronage of the French and Busaian Governments. A French line starting from Tongking will be carried through south China until it meets that constructed by the Belgians. A complete barrier will thus be formed aciosa the Yang-tzs kiang valley. Received Wakapuaka June 16, 9 50 a.m, Guardian Office 10.34 a.m. London, June 15 A deputation from the Associated Chambers of Commerce urged Lord Salisbury to take adequate measures for protecting and developing British trade m China. Lord Salisbury said that the rights of Britain under the Tientsin treaty would be maintained. Stale promotion of raiWays outside British territory m China was a grave change of policy. He pr> ferred that the lines should be constructed by private enterprise. The Times expresses the view that the foreign Office might put effective pressure upon China, as other Powers have done, to secure concessions for railway construction.

Two Poinredl Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it ? Aqr— As there is no difference m the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be muoh greater m the aggregate How can you get the public to know your make is the best ? If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one This explains the large sale of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that ib can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty pub forth with exaggerated claims, bub are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup, there is nothing < to equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
