London, Feb. 14.James William Lowther was unanimously re-elected speaker of the house of commons dur ing the day. In accordance with prece dent there was no opposition. The house afterwards adjourned without transacting any other business,- The swearing in of members will occupy the rest of the week. The new house of commons meets under conditions of unusual interest and evidence of this was seen in the wild rush for seats at midnight, when the spectacle at the entrance of the houses of parliament at Westminster resembled the entry to a pit on the first night of a play by a popular author. Nearly 300 of the members are entirely new to parliamentary life as a result of the upheaval caused by the general election and the house of commons police had a difficult task in differentiating between members and outsiders who attempted to take ad vantage of the occasion to view the proceedings' The formal opening of parliament will take place Feb. 19, when the king's speech will be delivered.

The negotiations on the police and finance questions are proceeding uninterruptedly, but have neither the French nor the German delegates show any disposition to yield.

Blames France for Failure of Conference. Berlin, Feb. 14.Some exchanges of suggestions between this and .other] governments regarding the Algeciras negotiations are proceeding, although I there is really no expectation of ah I agreement. Both France and Germany! have taken seemingly unyielding posi tions, France for a general mandate in Moroccan affairs and Germany for a combined administration by all the in-jplicated terested powers. The view of the} German foreign office is that if France intended to insist on a paramount posi tion in Morocco why did she take part. in the conference? If Germany should now agree to give over Morocco to France the efforts of years would be fruitless and a long period Of unrest in i European affairs, it is believed, would begin, the issue of which no one ven tures to predict. It is likened in offi-j cial quarters, however, to the period from 18b6 to 18i8, when the economic life of the principal Continental coun tifes was distuibed continuously by fears and rumois of wai The dis solution of the Algeciras conference while not in itself the cause of war talk, will certainly be sifdceeded by a revival of mutual distrust France ami Germany, -PRESIDENT 'ISSUES APPEAL.

Catarrh, is usually regarded as nothing more serious tlianyabad cold or light inflammation of the inner skin and tissues of the head and throat, when it is, in fact, not only a vexatious and troublesome disease, but a com- and dangerous one. It is true that Catarrh usually begins with a cold in the head, but when the poisons, which are thrown off through the secretions, find\their way into the blood, it becomes a constitutional trouble thataffects all parts of tbje hody. It has more annoying and disgustingsymp- toms"thah any other disease. There is a sickening and offensive d^s^harge from the nostrils, a constant buzzing noise in the ears, headaches and pains in the eyes are frequent while filthy, tenacious matter drops back into the throat requiring continual hawking and spitting, and in,pertain stages of the disease the breath has an odor that is very offensive. Catarrh is worse in Winter, because the cold weather closes the pores and glands, and the pois- ons and unhealthy vapors which should pass off that way are thrown back on the tender linings and tissues, causing the inflammation which starts the unhealthy secretions to be ab sorbed by the blood. When the blood becomes diseased with this catarrhal matter all kinds of complications may be looked for.

"We do not propose," he said, "to accede to their demands in any way and do not see what else they can do but strike. They are coming into this conference to demand an eight-hour day and recognition of the union, bo sides other things, it was clearly shown in the report of the anthracite strike commission in 1902 that the miners do not work eight hours a day and the claim is only a disguised de mand for higher rate of wages per hour. The anthracite commission afeo decided that it was the i-ight df the"' operators to employ either union or nonunion miners without discrimina tion.
