Lord Salisbury's speech before the „g Primrose League on Wednesday ap- :1 , peered to show that be had a present]- i di meat of the change now working in his vague prophetic forebodings of v coming trouble. The Premier spoke of , the "living and dying countries of the world," and of how the former were o gradually encroaching upon the lat- ter. He spoke also of the "corruption na of dying countries, a corruption so 1 deep seated as to give the smallest ° hope of reform," and he referred to the t partition of these countries as likely to P least mations into war, "Dying t countries," said Lard Salisbury, aro mostly un -Christian; but, I regret to h say, not exclusively 80, s 'be i,ox,t 'visite," in the original lo - rates looking after, caring for.

WHAT WAR WILL COST THE STATES Testanwny or Secretory Page Dcfore 11101 Senate Committee. A despatch from Washington, D. 0.' says:—The testimony of Secretary Gage as to the condition of the treasury and its requirements in order to meet the monetary demands of the war, as made before the Senate Committee on Fin- ance, was given to the public on Fri- day. The Seoretary stated the avail- able balance in, tbe treasury on April 30th at 9170,832,472, but from this it was, he said, necessary to deduct the $50,000,000 appropriated for the nation- al defence. He estimated that when the deficiencies in the War and Navy De- partments were met there would be an available balance of $01,000,000. The treasurer estimated that he must have 900.000,000 for a working balance from day to day. Es thought that, all told, the treasury could count upon avail- able cash to the extent of $70,000,000 above the $100,0.0,001 gold. reserve. Mr. Gage states that it, the time his testi-, many was given none of the volun- teer forces had become a tax upon the Government, and that the entire 125.- 000 men would have to be taken care of within a month's time, The best' estimates placed tbe extraordinary ex-' penses for the War and Navy -Depart-' ments at 952,000,000 up to the first of July next, in addition to the $50,000,000 voted for national defence, He thought • that from $40.000:000 to 9100:0,000, in addition to the ordinary revenues, would have to be realized between now and July 1st, to preserve the gold re- serve intact, SHOUTS FOR CIVIL WAR.

Despatches from Naples say disturbances have occur- red at Antrodoco, seven and a half miles from Civita Ductile, the rioters vaising shouts for a civil war, Di.s- tureances are also reported to have taken place at Arenaecla and at Monte- Ca]verio, At the latter place the troops intervened and a rioter was killed anal two soldiers injured. Signor 'I'urati and Signor Hissolate, Socialist deputies, have been arrested at Milan. `]'here have been slight dis- orders at Bologna, Verona, Padua), and Trol;ea.

Significant Speech of the Chinese 111nister in London. A despatch from London, says :—.01n- ong the guests at the dinner on Wed- nesday night of the Artiole Club was Lo -Feng -Loh, the Chinese Minister, who made an interesting speech. Rio said that the only way China could survive in competition with the world was by combining with Great Britain, to whom she offered e. free field for her cone-, merce. China hitherto bad been the most exclusive country in the world,; acting on the principle of excluding outsiders. This was now the principle of only the common people. The edu- cated glasses were prepared to welcome Britiab trade, and desired that the friendship of the two countries be con- solidated on the widest basis, socially, politically, connnereially, and econom- ically. He referred to the opening of the Chenese waterways and the impend- ing construction of railroads, and said he hoped that every obstacle to the ex- pansion of British trade in China would n seen bo removed. , ,Icons Kae COrreapoudenl or the Tinned erer Describes !be minutia Belle.

The other launch was beached with 12 shot -holes, and the boat was covered with blood, "Hatt an hour after noon awhtte flag was hoisted at Cavite, and the Span - tab crews deserted their ships, taking away their dead. .Admiral Montijo fled to Manila with his two aides."

Thousands of tiles and chimneys were hurled from the roofs upon the troops, who were compelled to retire. A similar fight took place in the Via Torino, and it is believed that no fewer than 300 were killed and 1,000 injured. A Swiss merchant wbo has arrived here from Milan describes the events of Saturday as completely anarchical. Ac- cording to his account tbe leaders of the agitation evidently had well ar- ranged r ranged plans. Coluanns of rioters oanerged from all the gates of the town, and converged on a centre. where they rapidly constructed barri- cades. When they were dislodged by the troops they mounted to the roofs ant raine.l tiles and chimneys down up- on the soldiery. REPORTS AT ROME.

SD( DOSES WILL CONVINCE THE MOST 11181.E©ULDUSa EDITOR COLWELL, OF PARIS, ONT., REVIEW. Newspaper edi1•ors are almost as soeptioal as the average physician on the subject of new remedies for sick people. Nothing short of a seriee of most remarkable and well authenti• rated cures will incline either an editor or a doctor to seriously oonsider the merits honestly claimed for a medicine. Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful.reooveriee wrought with the Great South American Nervine Tonic were received from men and women all over the country before physicians began to prescribe this great remedy in chronic cases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonic for build- ing up systems sapped of vitality through protracted spells of sick- ness. During his experience of nearly a quarter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Col- well, of The Paris Review, has pub- lished hundreds of columns of paid medicine advertisements, and, no doubt, printed many a gracefully - worded puff for his patrons as a matter of business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own pe-sonal experience, has he given a testimonial over his own signature. No other remedy ever otfhred the public has proved snail a marvellous revelation to the most sceptical as the South American Nervine Tonic. It has never failed in its purpose, and it has eared when doctors and other medicines were tried in vain. "I was prostrated with a partier- larly severe attack of 'La Grippe,'" says Mr. Colwell, t and could find no relief from the intense pains and die. tress of the malady. I suffered day and night. The doctors did not help me, and I tried a cumber of medi. cines, but without relief. ,About this time I was advised to try the South American Nervine Tonle. Its efbeots were instantaneous, The first doss I took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every day. Your Nervine Tonic cured me in a single week." The South American Nervus Tonin rebuilds the life forces by its direct action on the nerves and the nerve centres, and it is this notable feature which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The most eminent medical authorities now concedethat fully two-thirds of all the physical ailments of humanity arise from exhaustion of the nerve forces. The South American Nervine Tonle acting direct upon the nerve centres and nerve tissues instantaneously supplies them with the true nourish. menti required, and that is why its invigorating effects upon the whole system are always felt immediately. For all nervous diseases, for general debility arising from enfeebled vital. ity, and for stomaoh troubles of every variety no other remedy can possibly take its place. Sold by G. A. Deadman.
