The report attributes the yreneral business depression to the demonetization of silver in 187:5, and other unwise legis lation, while the opening of new agri cultural districts in various parts of the world and the increase of labor-saving- machinery has aided in depress ing the prices of farm products.

EXTRA GUAnDSHIPS MAY PASS THE DARDANELLES. The Wily Turk Hud 1'revlounly Almost Obviated the Necessity of Mu-h Action 17 the l'owcn a the Danger lu Con. tantlnopls llu l'ai m(. 'The lengthy controversy between tho ambassadors of the powers and Sultan Abdul Humid over the question of the admissiou of additional guard ships for tho protection of the embas sies has been settled by the issuance of an irade granting the necessary tir inans to permit the guardships to pass the Dardanelles. The demand was first made on Nov. 10, and scarcely u day has passed since then without its being renewed in a more or less per emptory manner. The ingenuity dis played by the Turkish government in evading a dircctatiswer to the demand, or, when forced to answer, the effec tive pleadings put forth for delay had almost forced universal conviction that tho demand would never be com plied with.. Days and weeks passed without an' action, and the condition of things in Constantinople that brought out the demand has almost passed. The linal triumph of tho powers jn forcing a compliance with their demands seems a barren one. and the long-sought permission to double the regular guuardships for the em bassies, now that it is obtained, seems hardly worth taking advantage of. CUBANS AHE LIVELY. Mxruo and Onuieg I'nlte Forren in Spite of the (Spaniards Hot Hilit Fxpeetrd. Dispatches from Havana say that notwithstanding tho vigorous efforts of the Spanish troops in Cuba to pre vent the forces of the insurgent gen erals, Maceo and Gomez, from joining and invading Santa Clara, the Spanish stronghold, thev havo done that very thing. A column of troops, com manded by Col. Segura. conveying 200 miles loaded with ammunition and provisions, had a brush with the in surgents near Iguara, tho result of which was to drive the Spaniards into Iguara with tho loss of only nine killed. Rut it is admitte t that tho Spanish troops had to light desperately in order to escape being captured, and soon afterward the insurgents were divided into two corps, one inarching in the direction of the Iletnedios dis trict and the other heading southward toward the Trinidad district. The in surgents have since been making rapid progress through the province of Santa Clara. The forces commanded by Go me., Maceo. Roloff. Sanches, Carrillio, Guerra, Diaz and other insurgent leaders have united and are now en eamped at Vajaca, about 1.1 miles from Placetas, an important town on the road to Santa Clara, and a point of great strategic value in its relation to to the seaport of Caibaren. Gomez and Maceo have determined to risk a pitched battle with the Spanish troops. This concentration of the in surgent forces is exactly what (Jen. Campos is said to have been praying for, ami with the coining of the rein forcements of troops from Spain it now seems certain that he will have to fight a decisive battle. A syndicate of American capitalists has been formed in New York City to aid the Cuban insurgents. The plan is to loan the republic S15.000.000 con tingent on the recognition of bellig erency by the United States govern ment, in exchange for Sbl, 000,000 in Cuban bonds.

The Republican national convention will be held at St. Louis June 10 next. That was the decision reached by tho Republican national committee as sembled at Washington after spirited balloting lasting two hours. The lirst important question was the lixingof the date of the convention. The exe cutive comruitteo reported a resolution favoring June H. This was amended by Committeeman Lannan. of Ftah. in favor of August 18. Thero was sharp debate, and Mr. De Young, of California, proposed July as a com promise. I'oth amendments were de feated aud then by a practic al' unanimous vote the date was fixed at June Id. Then came the main contest between the cities. San Francisco lead on the first ballot with SL Louis second, Chicago, Pitts burg and New York bringing up the rear as named. The strength of St. Louis was somewhat greater than had been expected, while Chicago fell far below the anticipation of her friends. On the fourth and last formal ballot the San Francisco forces broke for tho first time, Michigan, Wyoming and Connecticut going to St. Louis. That settled it and gave St. Louis tho con vention. The choice was made unani mous on motion of Mr. De Young, of San Francisco. Heainer Sank 87 Drontred. The Ilritish steamer Frincipia, Capt. Stannard, from Shields, took fire in the forehold when about 40 miles from Cape Wrath, Scotland.

These are tho facts iu detail : Mr. J. II. "White of Xo. 25 Ilaidey Phicn, lias been an instructor ia penman ship In different business colleges for the post fourteen years. He says : "Last Oc tober I was suddenly taken ill. I consult ed a physician, who said tho paia win from gravel' stones; gradually grew worse; the pain was In my back and side. My back swelled up in a great ridge, and I finally grew so bad that I was taken to bed, as liclplcss as a child. I passed blood, and when tho pain wns at its worst I wu3 like ono crazy. The doctor injected morphine to givo me relief, but further tl an that ho futid ho was powerless, and nothing would do mo any good but a sur gical operation. 1 believe my flesh was literally cooked In the attempts to relievo my agony, everything was used, mustard plasters, turpentine, hot cloths aud all such things. I was in this condition, given up by the doctor, and almost out of my mind with suffering. I commenced taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and really I felt easier in 20 minutes. After about two hours I had a passage of urine, and passed blood and somo 'gravel' Etoncs which greatly relieved me. I rapidly improved. I tool; ia all six boxes, and I feel to-day entirely well. Mine has been a wonderful case. I feel that I cannot sav anything stroii:? enough for Doan's Kidney Pills. My great wish is that they may become well known. They will prove a boon to man kind.
