THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS

United Praia Association—By Eleotrlo Telegraph—Copyright (Received September 28, 85 p.m) The Duke of Devonshire* epithet of marauding bands was applied to the hetero geneous Radicals and ieadexless Unionist* who have now gone round the country. Sir Matthew White Ridley, in hi«addreet, Bays that the utterances of many Liberals conduced both to the encouragement) and the prolongation of the war* Theirs wat a record of weakness and surrender. Sir H. Oampbell-Bannerman, in a letter, asEterts that the real issue of the elections was whether ours wat to be an Empire of commerce and peace or militarism and aggression ; real or sham legislative reforms* Sir Walter Peace, the Agent-General fojf Natal, in the course of a letter, states thai twelve million people in the colonies are awaiting the result of the British electors' vote, as being the Motherland's direct message to themselves, and an indication of her temper on the great queßtion of the consolidation of the Empire

Strawberry Cultivation.

The American notion of growing strawberries in barrels has taken root in England, and a I ondon firm has patented a cask, which may be used for strawberries, tomatoes, flowers, etc. The barrels are mounted on iron frames, and have been through!; tested for the growth of many kinds of plants. It is claimed that this plan of cultiva tion possesses great advantages of economy in labor and space over ordinary methods. With this system the plants may be forced without glass, and the large outlay for building, heating apparatus, and labour is saved. In each barrel is placed a wire box ? this should be filled with good peat manure or stable manure. The water* ing or the earth surrounding the box ii done by an ordinary rose watering catii If it is not wanted to force tha plants, the wire box is simply stuffed with hay, straw, or even ordinary leaves, If the contents of the box be watered twice a week the plants will keep perfectly fresh. A ring of iron fixed to the bottom of the barrel resta upon three small wheels working on a second iron ring placed upon two pieces of timber or bricks, sufficient to give the whole a solid base. The barrels may easily be turned so as so give each side its full amount of sunshine. This method of cultivation permits of the forc ing or retarding of the growth of the plants. The barrels take up but little space, and may be placed along the paths of a kitchen or other garden, against walls, on ft terrace, or on a plank in a farmyard, where, under crdinary circumstances, it would be impossible to use the ground for culti vation. The iron-bound barrel, painted inside and out, pierced with 100 boles, is advertised for sale in London at 15?, revolving frame complete, 15s: and the wire manure box at ss.

A Fight Narrowly Averted at Topuk.

Seattle (Wash.), August 2.—The first serious trouble between the mili tary and the prospectors in the North this year resulted in the arrest of over 100 of the miners who went to Topkuk, about fifty miles south of Nome City. The men had been forced to quit work on the Topkuku beach by the authori ties several days before, oat the ground bad proved to be rich and they went back to work again. Teh of the prisoners were brought to Nome on July 20th, and released on bonds. The clash occurred on July 17fcb. About a week before over 100 minera were forced to quit work along the beach at Topkuku oy soldiers that were landed from the United State* transport Seward, The soldiers were to guard the cliff from being torn away by the miners, who were eager to get at the rich pay streak which was already uncoverfcd for a width of several hundred feet. Upon the condition that they bore no further into the cliff the miners were allowed to work their dumps, which was pretty nearly completed this week. That baring been done, the miners held a con sultation and determined to defy Uncle Sam and return to work. The soldiers were all mustered on the beach and, with bayonets fixed, at tempted to force the men to leave, but not a man stirred. A parley ensued, with the result that thirty or forty miners submitted to arrest and were put under guards. Others quickly took the place of the arrested ones and were in turn themselves arrested, until the eoldiers have now more than they can attend to. A perplexing problem ■ow»is how to feed and house the arrested miners. If they are not fed the soldiers are in danger of being overpowered unless reinforced by the revenue cutters or transports. The whole trouble is the culmination of a contest of the creek claimants of No. 1, of which there are two factions.

One faction claimed to have located the tundra claim in December last and were suffered to remain in possession. The other faction claimed that because the initial monuments of the first faction were set upon the beach and not on the tundra it was not a legal location and was juinpable, which they accordingly are alleged to have done.

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded liploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extraot .n the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. la order that those crude oils mt»y not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the PrussianGovernmeu to be of perfectly pure origin, as pc information forwarded to us through th Oonsul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, w bate:—



' It is proved by tests by the Medical Clien of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dro Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifewald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aid freed »! acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plan, All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenoinee, which are abandoned long since as &n Internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, ate disoernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most) freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specifio density through tne presence <>f acids. 6 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resine and tenuatea. if these crude oils, so c lied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista *c in cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal saflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- Beononces are moat appalling.

PLANTEKOA 'IT CURES- "DEAD the following Testimonials, and Judge for yourself 1 " THE DOCTOR SURPBISKD AT THE IMPROVE MENT." Richmond Street, Petone, September 28,1899 The Proprietors of " Plantekoa. 1' Sirs,—For some time past I have been a martyr to Indigestion, Chronic Liver Trouble, and General Debility, f<r days at a time I used to be in agony' with pain in the region of the stomach, and all the medicines I tried gave me no relief. I was attended by the doctor for some time, with no permanent result. Being advised to take your Botanic Remedy, lam pleased to say I acted on this advice, and One Bottle has made a complete change in me. My friends (the doctor included) are all remark ing about the wonderful improvement in my appearance, and I can honestly recommend Plantekoa to all who suffer as I have done. Yours sincerely, MRS J. SMITH. Got his Thumb jammed in the door of the Guard's Van, but '• Plantekoa" Oint ment; healed ie in a Fortnight. Taita, October 15,1899 Proprietors " Plantekoa."



Dear Sirs, —I am writing to inform you that I have used your Plantekoa Ointment with most gratifying results. About five months ago I had the misfortune to get my hand caught in the door of the guard's van at the Lowe; Hutfc Railway Mation. My thumb was badly crashed, and in a few hours it was terribly swollen and as black as my hat. Some of my friends stated that it would be necessary to have my thumb taken off, and I thought myself that I would require surgical aid. Having your Plantekoa Ointment in the House (we always keep it), I had my thumb bandaged with it, continu ing the application for several days* The result was astounding. In a fortnight ib was completely healed, and as sound as it was before the accident. It is with pleasure I send you this note that other sufferers may be induced to try Plantekoa. Yours truly,
