BIDS FOB WABSEEP AIOSOR. Nnvy Department Advcrtines for III, OOO Ton of Plate. Captain O'Neill, Chief of the Ordnance Bureau of the Navy Department, has for warded to the Secretary for his approval a form of circular advertising for bids for armor for the battleship Maine and the four monitors authorized last spring, and the three battleships, and three armored cruisers authorized "by the last Naval ap propriation bill. The circular has been I drawn with great care and offers the most advantageous terms for the consideration of any concern which may be willing to undertake the manufacture, of armor at the price ot $300 per ton, which was the price fixed by the act.

To Test Admiral ."lielv ill.-' Theory by Drifting- Ctihk. An Important experiment is to be made to determine the course taljen by arctic currents, which may result, scientists think, in demonstrating the flow of certain disputed currents that are believed to lead toward the Noun Pole. By direction of the Navy Department, the Geographical So ciety of Philadelphia Is permitted to place on the revenue cutter Bear, which will sail fionl San FranciEco in April for arctic waters, a number of casks, to be set adrift near Herald Wand, for the purpose of learning the drift they take, by which val uable hydrogranhic information relative to the arctic seas and currents may be ob tained. This project is the outcome of a plan proposed by Admiral Melville before the society. It is the admiral's belief, based on the drift of 'the Jeannctte, that the place to put a fehip bound for the pole Is through Behring Strait and then to push the ship into the pack as far as possible to the northward and westward. Though not nec essarily drifting across the Pole, he states, in all probability a ship, float or cask would come out by way of Spltzbergen. He sug gested the feasibility of the drift casks to accomplish the drift without risk of life. Henry G. Bryant, president of the Phi'a dclphia society, had by his efforts in the preparatory work so identified himself with this project that it is now s::icn.tifi .rally known as the "Melville-Biyaut Drift Cask." Captain Kautz, of the navy, rcp icsented the fcociety of San Francisco and attended to the tdiipnicnt of the casks, placing thirty-five on the whaling ves;ls and fifteen on the Bear. Each cask was given a separate number for means of Identification. The casks are cou'.csl-shap-cd floats, securely made. Each contains a wooden-encased tube or bottle, tightly corked. In which arc directions for the finder. The directions are printed in four lan guages on specially prepared, Indestructi ble paper. They have spaces to inssrt the name of the finder, vessel, latitude, longitude, number of cask and other nec essary data, ir the casks are successfully launched, it will probably be four years or more before they may b2 looked for be tween the Spitzbergcn and Grccn'and coasts. Scientists generally are taking lcn interest in the experiment. Clinmberluin'n Coush Remedy. ThU remedy is intended especially for couzht. coldi, croup, whooping cough, and "influenza.

Proceeding of the Inventinting: Committee nt IInrrinbiirfcr. Karrisburg, Pa., March 29. The bribery investigating committee met this morning. John P. McAndrens, of Luzerne, was the first witne&s called. He answered all the , questions negatively and was followed by lj. H. McLarn, of Washington county, and W. Z. Macomber, of York county, who gave j similar replies. Other members who also ( answered the queries negatively were: L. T. Manley. of Bradford; J. M. Martin, of Merce; Levi Morrison, of Mercer; W. C. Miller: of Bedford; William M. Murdock, of Washington county. A. M. Smith, of Snjder, appeared at his request this morn ing, having been subpoenaed to appear la ter, and absolved himself from all charges. William W. Nesbit. of Allegheny, fol lowed with a series of negative replies, as did also C. B. Noblit, of Philadelphia; J. A. Noecker. of Schuylkill. J. It. Mulkie, of Erie; L. H. II. Nice, of Philadelphia. D. F. O'Brien, of Schuylkill, broke the monotony by making a statement. In an- I iWer to one of the ouestions he said: "In conversation -with Mr. Christie on I the last day of the reconsideration of ihe I aicCarrell W. aer the house adjourned on tbc 'ea and nar vote- l saw t h tbat " was a pretty close shave. He said. 'Yes and that he was glad it was over, as that snttipfl tfcf, VrfVirroll hill H nlcn ool,l j that there was lots of money there that uny, anu mat mere was a tnousanu dollars theie for tomebody." O'Brien is a Demo cratic member Horn Pottsville. Several other members were examined and denied all knowledge of corrupt solici tation. Before James McB. Robb. of Allegheny, was regularly examined. Chairman Fow asked him if at any time he had had any conveisation with Sylvester Smith, of Cam eron. "Yes," was the reply. "He asked me ir I was a pretty good friend or Charley Voorhees. and I said I was. He said he wished I would go up to Voorhees and request him not to ask him (Smith) so many questions, but just to let him (Smith) tell his story in his own way, what he wanted to tell." "I thought it was a strange proposition," continued Robb" "but he insisted that I should go. because he said 'if I vote to tell the whole truth, it may involve some friends of his.' " "Was that Dr. Smith, of Cameron?" asked the chairman. "It was." was the reply. The witness knew nothing more than this, and after Samuel H. Rutherford, of Dauphin, had been examined. and gave satisfactory replies, the committee ad journed until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Less than seventy members remain to be examined. QUIBBLES OF BALL PLAYEES. The Icn;ciie in IlnnKTcr of DinrnntiMii by a "War. New York. March 20. According to the ou.n.,ti.ui. vi. n uascuau magnate me i League will &oon be disrupted by a base- j ball war. The magnates, it is said, are al ready fortifying themselves for the out break. Rogers, of Philadelphia, says it cannot come soon enough to suit him. He avers that the League's action in chancinir the schedule is a conspiracy to freeze out iauibwui-. ue aiso says mat ttrusn, Hart, and Robison are trying to force the League to buy out the Cleveland, Baltimore, and Washington cluba. Hart, of Chicago, is bitter in his denunciation of Rogers and says any time the Philadelphia magnate wants a war he can have it. The statement of Dreyfuss that he was robbed in the schedule Is laughed at by the magnates, though they will not deny they had it in for Dreyfuss because of his al liance with Freedman. As has been re cently stated, the attack on Louisville is part of the scheme to reduce the League circuit. There are two errors in the schedule. Philadelphia, is billed to play in Baltimore and the latter club In Philadel phia on September 25, while the St, Louis are scheduled to play in both Cleveland and Louisville on September 2S.

Wireback, who is under sentence to be hanged on May 17 for the murder of David B. Landis, made a bold and desperate at tempt to commit suicide in the prison here yesterday morning, and but for the fact that he is under the constant gaze of a death watch he would have- succeeded. While lying on his cot he feigned rest lessness in order to divert the watchman's attention from what he was doing. From a small hole in the mattress he extracted a lot or straw, piece by piece, and dropped them over the edge or the cot at the tnd turthest irom the cell door, in rront or which Jacob R. Shenk, the death watch, was seated. Rising from the mattress Wireback ap proached the cell door in front of which there was a lighted gas jet. Quick as a flash Wireback ignited a straw that he se creted about his person and that he used as a taper to light the bundle of inflammable material. As the latter burst into flame he stepped over the blaze, and just as his clothing caught fire Shenk rushed into tho cell, threw Wireback aside, and smothered the fire. When asked what he meant by such a proceeding the murderer replied: "I am Just warming up a little." The condemned man's cell was stripped to the walls in order to prevent his access to any materials that he might use to in flict bodily Injury. EIGHT-YEAR-OLD BURGLAR.

An order has just been issued by Acting Postmaster General Perry S. Heath abol ishing the military postal service hereto fore existing at the principal poslofllces in Cuba and allowing the substitution of an independent Cuban service. The order formally announces the sever ance of the jurisdiction of the New York postofflco over these military postal sta tions, and makes the Cuban postal scheme entirely distinct from the postal service in tho United States, except for the guaran tee of the United States to pay any Cuban postal deficiency that might arise. This deficiency is to be met from the war ap propriations. In view of the diplomatic status ot Cuba the 'postal affairs of the island are sub ject to general revision by the President, through the Postmaster General. From to day no Cuban postal business will be cleared through the New York postofflce.

Ridlcnle, However, Is Not Argument, and Facts Arc Stubborn Thtntrs. Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any rem edy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, especially in medicines. This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that inany people suffer for years with weak diges tion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a -preparation so reliable and uni versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets. Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines, for the reason that they are not a secret pat ent medicine, no secret is made of their Ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, tho digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastls, and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the foodeaten thoroughly before it has time toJLerment, sour, and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success. ? Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles rbe cause they act entirely, on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach. j n Stuart's Dyspepsyi Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That Is all there Is to It. Food not digested or half digested Is poison, as it creates gas, acidity, head aches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often .called by some other name.
