Resolved, that in the opinion of this congress the Jew re- lating to bills of exchange sbould be xnade uniform in the British Empire, also that uniformity with the laws of eantinental powerhould, wherever practicable, be VStablished. internation- ally. Resolved, that its view of the diffi- culties correspondents experience in pre- paring closed replies to lettere sent to foreign countries, and espeoially the British Colonies and dependencies (a facility which exists in regard to open postcards and telegrams), the Council of the London C11(1,1111)6: of Commerce be requested on behalf of this congress to communicate with the Imperial and Colonial postal authorities for the pur- pose of recommeeding that the reply letter card (used by Frame: and Ceylon for inland torrespondence) be adopted by the British Imperial postal service as a means of facilitating aud increasing in- tercourse through the British Respire; that the reply letter card is applicable to international communication= the same way as the open reply post card, and that the recent objeetions raised in re-. gard to it can be met; that at the Postal Union Congress, eo be held. at Washing- ton, 1897, the 13ritish and Colonial Post- master -General be requested to take steps for the exteusion of the reply letter card to internatiouta postage, as an effi- cient substitute for the proposed interna- tional postage stamp, and. less open to the objections raised on the ground of the finaneial diflieulty involved."

P., in behalf of the London Chamber of Cons - MOM, moved the following resolution in regard to arbitration for ineernational *disputes: "That in the opinion of this congress the present gigantic: expendi- ture on Military prepneatioes imposes an intolerable burden on national revenue and an immense addition to human la- bor; that the settlement of international differences by force of arms is barbarous and unworthy of civilized nations, and that differences or disputes arising be- tween different Governments which can- not be adjusted by diplomatic agency should, as far as possible, be referred. to arbitration. This resolution called forth an animated discussion, It was finally amended by striking out all the first part, ending with the word "nations," and the amendedform merely suggest• ine arbitration when possible was adpted. Mr. Cookshutt of Toronto moved an amendment to Sir John Lubbock's reso- lution favoring arbitration Whenever the awards were enforceable. He criticized the United States regarding their action in the Bering Sea and Alabama matters and contended that arbitration was use• less unless the awards were enforced. Mr. Cockshutt's remarks elicited loud protests, and , the CI:airman deprecated his line of argument. Mr. Cockshutt then apnlogized, and Sir John Lubbock's resolution, verbally modified, was adopsecl. The congress taso adopterl resolutions in favor of the formation of a consulta- tive imperial council and of a uniform copyright law throughnnt the empire.

WILL COME TO TORONTO, The National Conference of Cluvitiles to street Here Next Year—A. Hot Contest. Grand Rapids, June 12. --One of the most exeiting election contents,in the history of the National Conferences of Charities and Corrections closed • lost night,when the assembled delegates de- cided to change the next place of meet - lug from New Orleans to Toronto. The various states interested in securing this great meeting have spared DO effort to advance their claims. The Committee on Time and Place held meetings On three different days and considered official in- vitations from New Orleans, Canada, Kansas and Pennsylvania. They decided in favor of New Orleans and the question was considered settled. The Canadian delegation, however, did not despair, and after some vigorous electioneering it be- camesraanifest that while the committee wanted New Orleans the conference as a body favored Canada. Matters remained in this shape until the evening .meeting, when the committee banded in Its report. When the report •was presented recom- mending New Orleans, SeeretarY Bink- neli,tof the State Bernd of Charieles, moved that the name of Toronto be sub- stituted, and' that Mr. J. J. Kelso of that city be given five minutes in Which to show cause why the change should be made. This was agreed to, and Mr. Kelso was warmly applauded, as he ad- vanced to the pletforrn, He made an elo- quent plea for his city and country and promised one of the„heartiese receptions over .aecorded to any conference. He stated that the city council of Toronto had sent two of its aldermen to speak for its people, while the Government of On - tette had also joined heartily in the in- vitation, He read the fralowing telegram from Lieut. -Col. the Hon. .7. M. Gibson, eSeoretary of the province: "Regret press- ing business detained me, Hope conven- tion will meet in Toronto next year. 'Consider yourself authorized to convey cordial invitation." This message was loudly applauded and had a splendid effect on the large gathering. Mr. Kelso con- cluded by urgiug a visit to. Canada in the interest of the great work of advanc- ing the higher and better civilization re- garding which both countries were fully agreed. Ma Faulkner then spoke for Kansas, Mr. H.eynactusa for New Orleans and Dr. Delefield for Philadelphia. A vote Was taken and Toronto came ont victorious amid, tne greatest applause, General Brinkerhoff of Ohio moved to make the choice unanimous,with the re- mark that Toronto was one of the finest convention cities in the world, and. this was agreed to without an opposing voice. Alderman Graham and Joliffe, who, evitit the 'other delegates from Canada, had done good service for their country, were the recipients of ninny congratula- tions. The securing of the convention for Toronto is a big thing for that city. There aro from 500 to 600 delegates front every corner of ehe United States, and it is believed that next year the membership will be fully 1,000. Outside of its great influence the conference is a dreaded me quisition front a commereial standpoint, as the members are a wealthy class of men and women who liberally benefit the city they visit. The pluck of Toronto in staying in the fight to the eud was gm- precieted by the delegates, who admire courage and earnestness of purpose to the fullest extent. The gathering will probaby take place in June, evhigis the period of the year usually decided upon in the past. THE REFORM LEAD'SIRS.

The evideuce presented was upon the same lines as that previously given. .A. despatch to tbe Times from Pre- toria says: "The feeling of unrest in Government circles Continues, and the movements of British troops are watched with the greatest suspicion. Several commandants have notified their men not to leave their distriots, whioh means to prepare for active service. This is probaaly due, to an unfounded rumor of a conflict between the Boer border guard and British troops to the norbh." Lieut. Ellett, grandson of President Kruger, who arrived here last week, was called to the stand. Lieut. Elloff testified that letters found in Jameson's baggage, whielt was seized after the battle at Kru- gersclorp, showed that the saddles and • Ammunition used by the raiders had been forwarded to them from the Cape Towu office of the British South Africa Company, Pretoria, June 12.—At a epeeial meet- ing of the Executive Council to -day it was decided to release Mn John Hays Hammond, Col.

Her screams attracted the attention of the neighbors, who quickly ran to her assistance. Among the crowd was Mr. Themes Moors, a white man. Moors carried. a aatchet, and made an attaok on the ne- gro to compel the latter to leave the woman alone. Shields was enraged by the presence of Moors, and turned on the latter.

ANOTHER GREAT TRIUMPH THE BOWMANVILLE NEWS INTER. • VIEWS MR. JOHN RAMON& And is Given Particulars of a Nine Years' Suffering From Asthma, From Which He Has Been Restored to Health When His case Was Looked 'Upon as Holleiesa. From the News, Bowenanville. During the past five years the Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have developed into a household word, and froin several cases that have come under our personal ob- servation, there is not the least doubt in our minds but that they are a boon to mankind, and in scores of Instances have saved life, when everything else had failed. The clue of Mr. Sharp, wbose case we publisbed some time ago, was one of the mod remarkable that we have heard of. To -day he is as well as aver he was in his life, and is daily lenocking about in all weathers attend- ing to his ferns duties. Recently another trluraph or Pink Pills came under our observation, and, after iaterviewing the person cured, he gave permissionto make the facts public, and we will give the story in als own words. Mr. John Haw- kens,who resides in. the township of Dar- lington, smile ten miles north of Bow- rnanville, and whose post -office is En- niskillen, (same to the county from Corn- wall, England, some 45 years ago, and up to the tirne ot his sickness had al- ways been a hard-working man. One day, however, while attending his work, he got web, took a chill aud a se- vere cold followed, whieb finally devel- oped to asthma. During the succeeding nine years he was a terrible sufferer from that distressing disease and gradually grew so bad that he could not work, fre- quentIss spent sleepless nights, and bad little or no appetite. Finally, be could scarcely walk tioroes the room without pouting for breath, and would sit all day with his elbows resting on his knees —the ouly position which emoted to give him ease, and at one time he never had down for six weeks, As it VOs a hard- ship for bini to talk, all he asked was to be let alone. During this time he had been doctoring and had tried nearly everything, and spent over 1;100 but got no relief.Finlly,ome one recommended him to take Pink Pills. He thought they could do birn no harm at any rate, and procuring a supply he commenced taking them. After he had taken three boxes he fonnd that he was improving, and after taking two more boxes, to the astonishment of all. lie walked across the field to the woods and out up a cord of wood. He continued the pills and took two niers boxes, making seven in all, and to -day is as well os' be ever was, but always keeps a box of Pink Pills in the house. The neighbors all began to ask him what he had done, as the asthma had left him, and they never expected to hear of him being well again. To one and all he tells that it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that did it, and has recommended them to scores of people since his recov- ery. With such wonderful cures as these oc- curring in all parts of the Dominion it is no wonder that Dr.. Williams' Pink Pills have achieved a greater reputation than any other known medicine. All diet is asked for them is a fair trial and the results are rarely disappointing. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at the root of the disease, 'driving it from the system and restoring the patient to health and strength. In cases of paralysis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciat- ica,- rheumatism, erysipelas, scrofulous troubles, etc., these pills are superior to all other treatment. They are also a spe- cific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily restore the rich glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. Men broken down by overwork, worry or excesses, will find in Pink Pills a certain cure.
