Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in- t
flamed you have a rumbling sound orimper- x
feot hearing, and when it is entirely closed ,
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam- 1

be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten

down is to take hold of his ear and j

iow that there is seen to be growing

Joining' Rojestvensky before the

is deepening into anxiety.

In Kamranh bay, but that France
as not yet replied. The Dally Telegraph's
correspondent at Tokio dedares
that a Japanese fleet is ready
o sail for Kamranh bay.
The Morning Post, commenting on
he situation, contends that it is a
natter of urgent importance, especialy
considering Great Britain's world
ride naval interests to endeavor to se-,
jure & more definite international
Lgreement on the question of neutralfcy
of the use of neutral waters By
jelligerents.
May Not Fight Openly .
The keenest Interest is manifested
n the dispatches being received in St
Petersburg, referring to the Russian
iquadron commanded by Admiral Roj;stvensky,
but the admiralty claims
o be as much in the dark as the pubic
regarding the plans of the admi al.
The report that part of the
iquadron was sighted off Hong Kong
s not credited, however, as Hong
Song is far away from his route.
The main question agitatting the naral
officials is whether Rojestvensky
fill elect to proceed northward
hrough the straits of Formosa or
>ear off into the Pacific through Bashi
>hannel south of the Island of For*
nosa, or Ballngtang channel north
>f the Island of Luaon.
The conviction is growing stronger
hat the Japanese heavy division is
joncentrating close to the shores of
fapan and it is also believed that
Admiral Togo - will decline to give
fettle in the open sea.
This is what the admirality officials
lope for, as it sincerely believes that
lojestvensky would have more than
in even chance if the two squadrons
ined upin an open fight. They believe
hat Togo's tactics will be night tor*

he Russian ships, putting some of
hem out of action and then picking

Although not reported directly, It is
jelieved in Tokio that the Russian
tecond Pacific squadron continues the

to remain until joined by the

. neuncement of Election of Mrs.
McLean as President
Mrs. Donald McLean, regent of the
i New York city chapter of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution, was
elected president general of the national
society Daughters of the American
Revolution, in session at Washington,
Thursday.
The announcement early in the session
of the result of the ballot taken
Wednesday for national officers, which
resulted in no election for president
general, indicated that the contest
was extraordinarily close. On the
first ballot Wednesday Mrs. McLean
received 342 votes of a total of 717
cast, leaving her just twelve votes
short of an election. Mrs. George M.
Sternberg, District of Columbia, received
201 votes, and Mrs. Charles
Warren Lippitt of Rhode Island 164
votes. Mrs. Lippitt withdrew from
the contest and another ballot was
ordered.
The second ballot, taken Thursday
morning, resulted: Mrs. McLean 362,
Mrs. Sternberg 322, blank 6, total
690. As the vote was announced, a
wars of enthusiastic annlause swept
over the auditorium and galleries.
Some of the women screamed as a
vent to their emotions. Others cried
and became hysterical. Every delegate
in the hall was on her feet No attempt
was made by the president general
to control the demonstration or
tc stay it When some measure of j
order had come to the assemblage the
president general recognized Mrs.
Sternberg, who moved that the election
of Mlrs. McLean be made unanimous.
In the midst of a great demonstration,
Mrs. Fairbanks put to the congress
the motion of Mrs. Sternberg.
It was carried enthusiastically, but
there were a few scattering "noes."
The negative votes were received
with hisses. Sharply rapping for order,
President-General Fairbanks said:
"The chair desires that demonstration
cease. Daughters of the Revolution
do not hiss, their guests must
not I ask the ladles who voted 'no'
to join heartily in support of Mrs.
Sternberg's motion." Mrs. McLean
was then recognized and delivered a ;
speech, .-n which she expressed pro-1
???J thft honor ;

Of the sixteen candidates for rice,

number to be elected?received a majority
of the votes cast It was decided
by the congress that the ten '
receiving the highest number of votes i
should be declared elected. This resulted
as follows:

Mo., 519; Mrs. Mhry Wood Swift, San
Francisco, 515; Mrs. Charles H. Deere,

lows: Recording secretary general,
Miss Mfcry Desha, Washington, D. C.;
corresponding secretary general, Mtss
Virginia Miller, Washington, D. C.;
registrar general, Mrs. Stewart Jar
mieson, Washington, D. C.
Some lively scenes marked the work
preliminary to the second ballot. Mrs. j
Peel of Georgia rose to a question of j
personal privilege. President General J
Fairbanks reserved the right to de- (>
cide whether it was a question of i
privilege. "Yesterday or the day be- j
fore," said Mrs. Peel, "it was decided
no campaign speeches would De i
heard." Amid the uproar which fol- j
lowed, President General Fairbanks
replied: "Back to your seat. Ton hare
not kept faith." Order was restored
Anally and balloting for president general
was begun.

CONVENT 18 BURNED

FOURTEEN ARE CREMATED il
List of Dead Includes Four t Old
Women, Nfne Children and a
Nun ? Horror Occurred
Near Montreal.
The little village of St. Gezxieve,
near Montreal, Canada, is mourning
over the loss of fourteen lives in a
fire which destroyed the convent" of
St. Anne there Friday morning. One
nun, nine children, ranging in age ?
from ten to eighteen years, and four ..
old women perished in the flames.
Two nuns were so severely horned
that it is feared they will die.
There is no organized fire protection
in the village. The fire, which
started at an early hour in the morning,
was beyond control by the time
the sleeping people oould be aroused*
A bucket brigade waa formed, but
flittTT. AS Ware
futile end the quaint old structure
was reduced to ashes. c <
One of the first persons to reach the fj
convent after the alarm was sounded
was Alphone Garaud, who lives
opposite the convent grounds. He
had two daughters in the institution, - -M
and his first thought was for their
safety. Securing a ladder he raised
it at one end . of the building at a M
window of the dormitory, where he
knew his children slept. Wheh he
smashed in the window a great column
of smoke poured eut He res- . ^
cued one girl and a minute later a- ^
second girl Jumped from the adjoin- vd
ing window. He ascended the lad- , ?
der again and called out, hut received
no response. In a moment the flames ^
were pouring from the window, and . ^
he was compelled to retreat.
The fire started in the old ladies' .&
hospice and the smoke was so thick J
that the children on the floor above ^
were overcome and unable to get
down.

alter the charter of the society without
the stockholders' consent He assured
the agents he would do all poe-)
sible to bring about better conditions
in the society.
The spokesman for the agents doclared
from its inception by "its great
founder, Henry B. Hyde," the Bquitable
had been intended to be truly a ^
mutual concern, and that the agents '||
had gone np and down the world pro- 'Jj
ciaiming and leading policy holders ta v|j
believe "that the only part of the ifj
assets of the society that could be v g
paid to stockholders was $7,000 per SB
annum, or 7 per cent interest upon
the $100,000 of stock. . '.IS
"It is manifest to us and policy J||
holders that the time has (pome fer a '\M
