16, 1890. I desire once more to bear my testimony to the value of Allcock's Porous Plasters. I have used them for twenty five years past, and can conscientiously commend them as the best external remedy that I have known. Years ago, when thrown from a carriage and seriously injured, I gave them a thorough trial. In a very short time the pain that I was siffjriDg disappeared, and within a week I was entirely relieved.

Oa another occasion) when suffering from a severe cough, which threatened pulmonary difficulties, which I waa recommended to go to Florida to relieve, I de termined to test the plasters again. I applied them to my chest and between the shoulder blades, and in less than a fortnight was en tirely cured. Oj still another occasion when suffering from an attack of rheumatism in tbe shoulder to such an extent that I could scarcely raise my arm, I again resorted to the plasters, and within a very few days the rheumatism entirely disappeared. I have them constantly by me, whether at home or abroad. My family as well as myself have found tbem to be a sovereign remedy, both for external and internal troublee.

I never had but one kidney difficulty in my life, and the pplication of the plasters cured me in a week, desire, as I said before, to bear my testi mony in a public way to their efficacy, and I know of no better way of doing it than by giving you my personal experience." Councils and Mayor at Odds. There is a hitch between the Wilkesbarre councils and Mayor Nichols, the new city ex ecutive. The councils reappointed Chief of Police Meyers. Last night the mayor sent to councils his veto of the appointment and nominated George Phillips. Councils fl ed the veto.

The Largest CHINA WILL RETALIATE. Her Diplomatic Relations with America to Be Broken Off. FILIBTJSTEfillia IN THE HOUSE. Debate on the Free Wool Bill Prolonged and Ko Prospect of a Speedy Vote Upon the Measure Silver Orators Temporarily Silenced in the Senate. Washington, April 0.

It is said that the Chinese minister has indicated to Senator Sherman, who is chairman of the foreign relations committee, that if the extreme Chinese exclusion bill becomes a law in the form that it passed the house the Chinese government will sever all diplomatic relations with this country. With his usual reticence concerning pending legislation. Senator Sherman would say nothing for publication. Representative Hitt, who led the opposition to tbe bill, said to a reporter: Only One Sequel Possible. "There is, of course, only one possible sequel to the enactment of such a law as the Geary bill The Chinese minister and his entire suite would at once quit the United States, and all relations between the empire and this country would be terminated.

Such intimations have come to me pretty directly, although not, of course, in an official form. There is even fear that the Chinese government, hearing of the radical action of the house of representatives, might cable the Chinese minister here to at once ask for his passports without waiting for the action of the senate. The Chinese minister has been endeavoring to make his government understand that it is tbe general wish of the executive branch of thi6 government, while restricting undesirable immigration, not to violate treaty obligations, but it is a difficult task. The Chinese Leaving C. "If I had had a few minutes more Mon day I think I could have made it plain to the house that there was nothing in the cry that an army of Chinese was along tbt.

There have been 18,000 departures in excess of the arrivals since Oct. 1, 1888. Last year the arrivals in British Columbia exceeded the departures by only 994." "Way That Are Dark." Representative Geary, of California, in an interview on the subject of the Chinese ex clusion bill, passed by the house, condemns the system of taking bail in Chinese cases. He says: "There are now 8,000 Chinese habeas cor pus cases on the docket in San Francisco.

A ship comes in with 500 or 600 Chinese. A Chinaman swears he is the owner of real estate, his bond is taken, and tbe newly ar nvea ueiestiat departs. When the case comes for trial the immigrant has disappeared, and the Chinaman who went bond has transferred all of his property. The district attorney at San Francisco has $250,. 000 worth of bonds on which he cannot collect a "Cannot China expel Americans from hei territory Mr.

Geary was asked. "Certainly. But what would that amount to? There are in China today exactly 1,022 Americans. Of this number twenty eight are in trade, and the remainder are missionaries, seamen and stragglers. Suppose these people are expelled.

Then we can retaliate by expelling 130,000 Chinese who are this country, according to Mr. Porter's census. Do yon think China wants togs into the expulsion business. Hardly, especially when her citizens who are here send more than a million dollars back to China annually as the result of their interference with American labor." "Will the bill pass the senate "I have no doubt of it." In the genate. BWashctoton, April ft.

The senate set' tied down to the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill. The discussion was kept up mainly by senators understood to be unfavorable to present action on the aUvet question. If their object was the consumption of time so as to shut ont further silvei debate, it was successful for the day. Filibustering In the House. Washtnoton, April 6.

The session of the house was entirely consumed in filibuster ing on tbe free wool bill. The Democrat! refused to allow one hour on each side foi debate on the first section when Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, made a motion to that end. The speaker decided that Mr. Burrows was ont of order when the latter attempted to effect an arrangement of time respecting the debate.

This caused Mr. Burrows to resort to filibustering methods which, under his leadership, were successfully carried out until 5:30 o'clock, when the house, finding itself powerless to transact business, adjourned. There is no telling now when th free wool bill will reach the senate. fl BHD HUMOR CURED Expended on Doctors and Medicine without avail. Gave himself np to die.

Great Emporium to be Ktnbllhed In tbe. Wyoming; Valley. The Wilkesbarre "Record" of ibis morning gives tbe particulars of an immense business enterprise which it says is to be undertakes by a few large firms of the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys.

Tbe scheme comprehends the establishment ef a concern not unlike the celebrated Bon Marche iu Paris aud Wananisker's in Fhilsdfclphi, fully ss large as eitLer of the: and probably larger. It ia not to bo a stock concern, bui a private enterpiiee and the parluership is to ke composed of the members of ist six of the largest business houses now operating in tbe two valleys. The capital to be invested at the start is $500,000, but is to be increased as needed to any amount. The pcheme has been rendered possible ry the splendid system of transportation fur uUtpd from all parts of the two valleys by c.rio roads cow in ratinn and already prr o.Wi. Icc.tiou has hlready been de cided on and the land necessary secured.

I is to erected on the Wi Side, at a pot I ss I ear tne cetiire vi me eieciric rail road system as can oe calculated, that all tbe gOO.OOO people of the two valleys may be equally accommodated. Tbe ground spice to be occupied will be 1,000 foet Fq'ia'e, a full block, and it is the intention to make tbe building of only two stories in order to avoid tbo use of elevators. Some details of the interior arrangements are already fixed. Oo one a.de will be an electr ic car station and in opposite corners will be tbe pasnenger stations of two trunk line railroads. There will also be a switch runuing to the centre of the biilriii where freight cars containing merchandise for the store will be unloaded.

All these stations will be inide tbe store building proper. It is proposed to supply everything need by the human pecios, from a cambric" needle to ninety ton locomotive, from an ivory collar button to an elephant from whose tusks more collar buttons can be made, from a yard of ili to the very fineet of imported Paris costumes, from a shoe tap to a Ttxis steer, from a Harvey's lake catfish to an Oregon salmon. The principal attraction, of course, is to be the prices at which the goods are to be sold, and this can bast be told in tbe conversation which took place last night between a "Re cord" man and one of the interested parties to tbe fchenio. Ia answer to tie question, "From where and how do you expect to draw trade enough to pty a return on tne investment the cap itil st said "We, the firms to be consolidated, control a trade already of over a mill ion dollars a year, and we expect to carry all this with us at one We shall buy all our goods at first hands in just aa large quantities as anyone in the world, and shall pay csh for them, and shall be sole to sell again at retail at about tbe prices now paid by ns at wholesale We calculate that at this tinn fully $100,000 annually is spent by the residents of the two valleys in traveling and hotel expanses between their home aad New York and Philadelphia in journeys made for the single purpose of shopping. We expect to fcava tur customers all that and more too, as we cin sell gods evea cheaper than Wanamaker And do you know rhy Because bis city taxes oo buildings and Block are so great that tbey amount to a good profit oo the busiuess done.
