The paper says the action of the repudiated official when he was consul at Apia was in effect a protest and a recourse against a flagrant breach of treaty by the Germans, and because this was the case the disallowance of Greenebaum's pro ceedings by Bayard was tantamount to acquiescence inGerman intrigue and aggres sion.

WHAT IT IS MADE ©F. +— It is simply the most wonderful remedy the world has ever seen for the immediate relief and cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, and all painful diseases. Its romarjcable action has mystified doctors, delighted sufferers, and dispelled the doubts of the most incredulous. Its virtues are praised by thousands all over the land, who have been rescued from yeavs of suffering and torture with every species of disease, and granted a new lease of health and activity. When physicians have certified to their inability to cure rheumatism, neuralgia, and othervery painful disorders bygiying up their patients to the stubborn claims vh pro tracted disease and possible death itself, the St. Jacobs Oil, by its unpretensious merit, has gained in every instance yet greater fame from its almost magical influence over these diseases. This remedy has no uncertain or miraculous history ; its decided power resides in a peculiar volatile oil, carefully distilled from tho Pinus Sylvestris, and has been used and distri buted for hundreds of years by the inhabi tants of the Black Forest, a mountainous and densely-wooded region in Baden and Wurtemburg, Germany. The introduction of the St. Jacobs Oil into Australia has been attended with the same distinguished results as have ever characterised its employment in America and Europe ; and its adoption as the national remedy for rheumatism, neuralgia, and all painful diseases is assured. When it is considered that this wonderful pain-banisher and health-restorer can be had at all drug stores for such a small sum, it appears as a matter of duty to every sufferer with rheumatism, neuralgia, or kindred complaints to seek the relief which St. Jacobs Oil cannot fail to give. Try it and you will be convinced. ELECTRICITY IS LIFE. Du. SCOTT'S ELECTRIC APPLIANCES Have saved many lives when the best medi cal aid has signally failed.
