Re-cross Package Forwarded With Huge Batch of Mail for the Explorer. New York, March 26.—An express package "I" more than ordinary interest was dispatched today, from New York to Dundee, Scotland, it contains the second annual mail from the Peary Arctic Club to Civil Engineer Peary and is expected to reach him sometime toward the end of the summer, being forwarded by the whalers from Dundee, entrusted to the native Esquimaux of Cape York, and thence forwarded to Peary's headquarters in North Greenland. Similar letters were sent last year, and as Capt. Milne of the Eclipse, touched at Cape York, redeeming his promise to "do anything in my power to get them through to Peary," it is reasonable to expect that the attempt was successful. The package contains five letters in duplicate, since there are five whalers, and it is wholly uncertain which, if any, will touch at Cape York. The letters contain the first news to Mr. Peary of the death of his mother at Portland, Me., in November. IT IS CHIEF CHESWELL. Many Promotions in Boston Fire Department Announced. Friday.

"There is probably nothing in the world that produces as much happiness as the peculiar feeling that comes over the mind when well fed with nourishing food that particularly rebuilds the bruin, and makes everything on earth have a rosy tint. Ambition is renewed. spirits are of the most sanguine, and confidence has restored that feeling within us which carries us over the rough places." So writes a man who was built up for forty, a wealthy invalid to a fine condition of health by changing his diet and using Grape-Nuts Food. "There is no sense of enjoyment out of that of being well physically and mentally. I can hardly realize that such a transposition has been made. From being ill-tempered and disagreeable I have changed to something like enjoyment of the society that I had grown to avoid. From feeling that life was not worth living, I now feel that I would like to live always. I enclose a sample of my handwrit og showing my nervous condition be ore using Crape-Nuts Food, and vou an compare it with my signature to his letter." The writing done while he was in a icrvotis. ill fed condition is shov.n on it old time check and reports a series f dates when he was absent on ac ount of sickness.

PATRICK HEARING. What Caused the Duath of Millionaire Rice? Dr. Curry Says He Believes He Died from Natural Causes. Two Witness to - Patrick Will” Arrested on Charge ol Forgery. New ' oik. March 2!l.—The hearing iti the ca r of Alh' il T. 1'atrli-k, the law yer, who is accused of causing the death of William Marsh nice Iasi Sep i lembcr, was r"SUiiH-d bcfoic Judge Jerome, today■, w ith John U. Potts, the w itness of ;. i i tei-iluy. again on the stand. Assistant District Attorney Osborne i ' turned to the occurrences at the sale [depot it vault when t’a thick took wit ness there and showed him the w ill and the assignments. “Did you see any other papers at the time?” he asked. Witness replied that as Patrick pulled the will and assignments out of his pocket, two checks payable to "Albert T. Patrick, trustee, with the “unis left blank, dropped to the Moor. The checks we were signed "Uni. M. Rice." "I remarked to Patrick," said Patrick, "that Rice must have had a great deal of confidence in him." "After the arrest of Patrick did you take up any of Patrick's effects?" asked Mr. Osborne. The witness said he had not. “Were you Mr. Patrick's counsel at any time?" "Yes, two or three days before the arrest. He told me that he wanted me to act as his attorney." Dr. Curry, older being sworn at the afternoon session, testified that he had known Rice for about eight years. In September, he had attended his wife, he also treated Jones. The secretary, "What did you prescribe for Jones?" asked the assistant district attorney. "I prescribed a tonic and protoxide of mercury in pills of one-fifth of a grain each. I told him to get another bottle." This was in July or August of last year. Dr. Puny testified that Patrick came to his office on the evening of September and told him that it was sick. On the following Saturday, Patrick called at Dr. Puny's house and asked him how he was. Lawyer Moore-asked the witness if he still believed that Mr. Kite died from natural causes. "I do," was the reply. An adjournment was taken until Monday. David I—Short, commissioner of deeds for Texas, and Morris Meyers, lawyer, the two persons whose names appear is witness to the alleged bogus office will, were arrested, today, charged with forgery in the first degree. Both are friends of Kauyer Albert T. Patrick, who is charged with having murdered the Texas millionaire. Assistant District Attorney Osborne with handwriting experts, today, swore out warrants for the arrest of Short and Meyers. The forgery charge against the two witnesses grows out in the fact that they signed their names to the will. The experts declare that the signature to the will is forged. When Patrick learned of the arrests, he declared that Short and Meyers were innocent of any wrongdoing. FIRE AND DYNAMITE. Desperate Attempts to Destroy Large Plants at Akron, Ohio. Akron, Ohio. March 29.—The plant of the Diamond Pottery Co. was burned during the night, by a fire originating from waste soaked in oil placed in various parts of the building. A well-dressed man was seen around the place before the fire started, but no trace of him has since been found. Earlier in the evening an attempt was made to dynamite the extensive pottery of the Robinson Merrill Co. Sticks of the explosive were placed under several parts of the main building but the watchman discovered them in time to prevent an explosion. At several other factories, oil soaked waste was found in various sections of the buildings. The police believe a lunatic is doing the work. The loss on the Diamond plant is not stated. COLOMBIA'S TERMS For Transfer of French Concession Presented. Friday At Washington. Washington, March 29.—The conditions under which the Colombian government will consent to the transfer of the French concession for the construction of the Panama canal to this government should the latter select that route for an isthmian waterway, are before the state department for consideration. Senor Silva, the minister from Colombia, called on Secretary Hay today, and left with him a memorandum bearing on the subject. The memorandum being of a confidential nature, the minister declines to discuss the features while the matter is under consideration by the state department. The French concession originally expired in 1804 but it has been extended to 1910. Terrific Storm in Texas.

Will Be No Miners' Strike. Wilkes-Barre, Pa., March 29 —The miners' convention has decided not to call a strike April 1. The news was received with much rejoicing by all classes. END OF REBELLION Will Closely Follow the Capture of Aguinaldo. Entire Insurgent Forces on Island of Mindanao Yield to Robbe. Great Interest Now Centers in Suitable Reward for Gen. Funston. Manila, March 29.—6:30 P.M.—After having commanded Aguinaldo's capture by the insurgent forces on the Island of Mindanao, the insurgent leader in the province of Morong, Luzon, has surrendered with six officers. 4 men and 50 rittles, to Pol. J. Milton Thompson of the 4th Regiment at San Mateo. As the news of Aguinaldo's capture spreads through the archipelago, the insurgents are becoming disheartened and there is a marked increase in the number of individual surrenders. Tien. failles, who is practically out of the law, has sent an emissary to Gen. Hates, who answered that he must surrender unconditionally and stand trial. The former insurgent officers and the Moab scouts who took part in the capture of Aguinaldo, will probably receive a monetary reward. The amount has not been specified. It has been recommended that every man participating in the capture of Aguinaldo receive a special medal. ALL OVER ON MINDANAO. Insurgent Leader Capistrano With All His Forces Surrenders to Gen. Kobbe. Washington, March 20.—Another important dispatch was received at the war department, today, from Gen. MacArthur at Manila, dated today. It did not refer to Aguinaldo or Fonston, but in the opinion of the war department officials it went far to support the prediction made by Gen. MacArthur yesterday, that the end of the rebellion is near at hand. This dispatch chronicles the surrender of a considerable number of rebels and military arms and the important feature of it is that the surrender marks the complete stamping out of the insurrection of the island of Mindanao, which is, next to Luzon, the largest island of the Philippines. The dispatch is as follows: "Manila, March 29. Brigadier General Wm. V. Kobbe reports surrender of Sumulo, Mindanao, nine officers, 18 men, 18 rifles, 30 shot guns, Capistrano's command. This ends trouble in Mindanao." As far as Filipinos are concerned, Brig. Gen. Robert L. Hughes reports Aguila and Luise, 24 guns, surrendered to Capt. David Shanks, 18th U. S. Infantry, at Mamburao, 26 guns. Fulon's command surrendered to Lieut. Col. Wm. Scott, 44th U. S. Volunteers. Signed) Mae Arthur. A BRIGADIER GENERALSHIP Will Probably Be Given Gen. Funston by President McKinley. Washington, March 23.—The question as to how Gen. Funston will be rewarded for his services in capturing the head and front of the Philippine insurrection continues to be a topic of discussion in all official circles. In view of Gen. MacArthur's specific recommendation, endorsed by Gen. Wheaton, that Gen. Funston be appointed a brigadier general in the regular army, there seems to be no doubt in well-informed quarters that the President will meet promptly the popular demand in this matter and appoint Gen. Funston to one of the existing vacancies in the list of brigadier generals. The only objection made to such action is that it would shut out all officers of the army below the grade of brigadier general from possible appointment to the head of the army. If appointed he would be the youngest general officer in the army and if promotions were made by seniority, eventually would become the lieutenant general and hold that office for many years; but under the law, the President selects all the general officers and is not even confined to the army in making them. The same wide range of selection also applies to the lieutenant generally, notwithstanding the popular impression that the senior major general legally is entitled to the promotion. It appears, therefore, that Gen. Funston’s appointment as a brigadier general would not necessarily mean his enforced promotion to the head of the army in consequence of the retirement of officers now his superiors in rank. Whether his advancement would be Slow or rapid would depend altogether upon the wishes of the Chief Executive. GEN. FUNSION'S PARENTS Called on by Several Hundred Neighbors Who Tender Congratulations. London, March 28.—All Thursday the Kunston Home was the center of attraction to the neighborhood and at night there was a spontaneous movement of several hundred people to run over and the neighborly. The hand went also and with cheers and music to the joy was expressed. Mr. Funston, father of Agustinaldo’s captor, responded to a call for a speech. He said: "This is the proudest day in the life of Kunston and myself. My own life I do not consider to have been without its successes but toward the end of life no greater joy comes to a parent than honor for his child. I will say that Kred was always a good boy, not even the after the pattern of my own making in minor matters but there was never anything dishonorable in his character and I think I know it thoroughly, as he happened to be born in my family. "He did not aim at notoriety but to accomplish something worthy in the world and the success which has crowned his efforts I think should be a lesson to (Continued on page 2.) SUPERINTENDENT IT AT EXPOSITION. Sickness Driven from Entire Family by Paine’s Celery Compound. Spring is here. Purify your blood. Take Paine's " celery compound. It is the one spring remedy sought after and highly esteemed by intelligent men and women throughout the land. Paine's telegraph compound has created its own constituency. Men and women who have never taken a sip of any sort of parilla or patent medicine of any sort, not allowed them to enter their homes, not only use Paine's celery compound when themselves sick, but persuade their families to do the same. And yet when the history of this wonderful remedy is studied, it is easy to understand why Paine's celery compound stands alone and superior to all remedies in the estimation of the public. It is a physician's remedy. It is the prescription of Edward K. Phelps, M.D., Professor of Materia Medica at Hartmouth College. There is no mistake in the standing of Paine's celery compound in the family of Mr. A. M. Wheeler, Sup., of Exhibits at the Pan-American Exhibition. New York State Commissioner at the Atlanta Exposition, and for instance, Postmaster of Buffalo: Buffalo, N.Y., Feb. 1st, 1892. Hear Sirs: Pains run down from overwork, physically and mentally. I tried Paine's celery compound as a remedy. It undoubtedly did me much good. My wife and some of my relatives have also been using it, and in form they have been very greatly benefited. Sincerely yours, ALFRED M. WHEELER. The superiority of Paine's celery compound is well known. In the codified family, it is well illustrated by the many families are benefited wherever any one member of the family tries it. Nothing is more common than for husband, wife, and children to be led to use it. Because it has observed its health-making qualities in the case of some relative or intimate friend. Young and old now need to take a spring remedy to purify their blood, to their tired nerves, and to invigorate their bodies. Long experience has shown that this is the necessity of an early spring cleaning for everybody, sick or well. Those are taking Paine's celery compound. It is so far above all other spring medicines, strengthening, nerve-purifying, health-giving, lasting effects that it has no competitor among discriminating people. The old "cures" are by one, in the last few years, have dropped by the way, until today the sales of Paine's celery compound in every civilized country are larger than those of all other spring remedies of all kinds combined. People just sick enough not to be healthy—every city is full of such remedies—should take advantage of Paine's celery compound to put their blood and nerves into a healthy condition. Spring is the time to get well. WARRING FACTIONS Endanger Fate of the Proposed Cuban Constitution. Minority of Committee on Relations Now Oppose Platt Amendment. Delegation Will Visit Washington Before Any Action Is Taken. Havana, May 29.—Senator Vilhion of the committee on relations of the Cuban constitutional convention, today, signed the report of Senor Juan Hualberto Gomez. Thus placing a majority of the committee in opposition to the principal features of the Platt amendment. Neither the Radicals nor the Conservatives seem anxious to put the question to an immediate vote. The plan to send a delegation to Washington first is being favorably considered. Little public interest is manifested in the outcome. The convention itself divided into warring political issues, local politics being the chief issue of discussion. Sanguily has sent in his resignation, all being that he could not be a bidder by a vote of the Havana Republican platform. It is doubtful if the convention will accept the amendment, as the delegates from the state and the Clara thought purposed by the party for voting against the candidate. Mill hold the seats, Radically opposed by different groups of the same party and this tends to substantiate the assertion of the Conservative press that the opposition to the amendment is entered in Havana, and that the delegates do not represent the feelings of their constituents. A split is threatened in the National party of Havana because of a resolution adopted against the Flat amendment. Senator Tamayo, secretary of state, resigned from the party today. With all the ceremonial of the church and attended by clergy from many places, representatives of the New Brunswick government, the city corporation, and all the local Catholic societies and hundreds of citizens, the body of the late Bishop Sweeney was borne to the grave at St. John, N.B. Friday morning, with simple yet impressive ceremony, Rev. Timothy Casey was enthroned bishop of St. John, at 8:30 o'clock, after the funeral.
