Ob Monday the 15th, Harold Slarquisee, ot Utica, N. Y., was arrested in Syracuse, J. Y.. on a warrant sworn out cj the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. charging him with torrery. On the 15th of December Marqui se visited a photo-engraver in Syracuse, aariag he was the representative of the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., and arranged for the making of a full set of plates for the di rection sheets, lables. etc., of the famous Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. 5ews of this reached the home office, and ao time was lost in arranging for his arrest when be should return for the plates. He returned on the 15th and was accordingly arrested and is now in jail in Syracuse awaiting examination. This arrest proves to be an important one. la addition to various plunder, such as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc., foaad in Marqaisee's trunk when arrested, the police also found counterfeit coin both ta the trunk and' on his person; and in a search cf his apartments at Utica found a complete outfit for counterfeiting eon kktiagof crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead, Mamatb, antimony, a small blacksmith forge, a charcoal furnace, and several plaster-of-paris molds. The United States marshals want him just as soon as tbo Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced far a laag period. la selecting Dr. Williams' Pink rills for ate conBterTcitit operations, he showed is knowledge of tho proprietory medical badness; for these pills are in such great demand that they arc easily sold at auy drag store in the United States. His scheme 1 to work the country druggists ana sen his imitations at a discount of from - per cent to S per cent., explaining tho reduced price by the fact that ho had picked them ap in small lots and nt a discount from dealers who were over-stocked. By work ing fact and making Iodr jumps, ho would have secured many hundreds of dollars in a short time. The proprietors of Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills are most fortunate to lave caught the rogue, before he had fair ly started, and to Lure thus kept these spurious goods out of the market.

Relief Afccd and Given. Washrtgtox. April S. Tl e Presi dent to-day sent the foliou-int; message to Congress: "To the Senate anil House of Repre sentatives: Information which has recently come to me from the govern ors of Arkansas?, Mississippi and Louis iana and from prominent citizens of these statsn arul Tennessee, warrants the conclusion that widespread disas ters, involving the destruction of a large amount of property and loss of human life has resulted from the floods which have been submerging that sec tion of the country. "These are stated on reliable au thority to be the most destructive floods that have ever devastated the Mississippi valley, the water reaching the highest fUige it has reached be fore. From Marion, Ark., north o Memphis, to Greenville, Miss., a. dis tance of mere than 259 miles by river, it is reported there are now nt least fifty towns and villages under water and a territory extending from 100 miles north of Memphis to SCO miles sou tli and from five to forty miles wiile is submersed. Hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated soil, with grow ing crop1;, are included in the j.ub merged territory. "In th's .sertion atone there are from r.P.UOO to ('.(), 000 people whoso property has been destroyed and whose business has been suspended. Grow ing crops have been ruined. Ihoiiiands of cattle have been drowned and the inhabitants of certain areas have been threatened with starvation. National Assistant: freed. "As a great majority of the sufferers r.re small farmers, Hioy have thus been left entirely destitute :nd will bo un prepared for work, even after the flood? kayo subsided. The entire Mis siss'ppi valley in Arkansas is Hooded and communication with many r olnls cat oil". In Mississippi a like condition cxKts. The 5evt.es in Louisiana, with si single exception. ha.v held; brt the water is rising and the situation there is reported as being extremely critical. Under such circumstances tho citi zens of these states look for tiie co operation and support of the national government in relieving the pressing cases of destitution for food, clothing and shelter which are beyond the roach of local efforts. The authorities who have communicated with the ex ecutive recognize that their first and most energetic duty is to provide, as far as possible, the means of caring for their own citizens, but nearly all of them agree in the opinion that after the resources have been exhausted a sum aggregating at least Sl.10,000 and possibly S200,00 will be vequired for immediate use. "l'recedens are nol wanting th.V; in such emergencies as thi Congress has taken prompt, generous and intelli gent action, involving the expenditure of considerable sums or money, with satisfactory results. In l.sTl S5SiO,CO0 was appropriated, and in issa S350.OD3 was a so appropriated for relief in the same direction, besides large sums in other 3'ear.s. "It lias tiicrcforc seemed to me that the representatives of the people should be promptly informed of the nature and extent of the suffering asid needs of these stricken people, and 1 have communicated these facts in the hope and belief that the legislative branch of the government will promptly reinforce the work of the local authorities in the states named. -William McKixi.ky.

The general pas senger agents of Western railroads have completed their task of framing an agreement for the new organiza tion which is to take tho place of the collapsed Western Passenger associa tion. In all essential features the new passenger agreement is similar to the freight .agreement adopted last week, but it is to cover all the terri tory west of Chicago, St. Louis and St. Paul clear through to the Pacific coast, while the freight agreement only covers the territory to the Mis souri river. The new passenger organization is j to be known as the Western Passenger lsureau of Statistics and Information. There are to be three suborganizations the Eastern committee, covering territory Chicago to the Missouri river; the transmissoari committee, between the Missouri river and the Rocky mountains, and the transcontinental committee, composed of all Western lines interested in transcontinental business. There is to be a general executive committee of seven members, and B. D. Caldwell is to be chairman of the entire concern. He will also have charge of the clergymen half-fare per mit bureau and the mileage ticket bu reau.

April 8. -The mayoralty election resulted in a decisive victory for the Democratic ticket, the ISour bon candidate for mayor. Carter Har rison, having more votes than all tho other candidates combined. The feature of the election was the trenglh shown by Harlan. He rzn .econd to Harrison, and although an independent, with no organization bc liiid him, he secured more votes than he regular Republican candidate, Indge Nathaniel Sears. 0'ic thing Jiat helped Harlan greatly was that sears was looked upon as being the .ioinir.ee of the Republican machine, .vhieh has grown unpopular ia the ranks of the local Republican party. The campaign w;is fought for the iiost part on striclly local issues, al hongli the Democrats had a silver jlank in their platform.

NEW TURKloH POLICY. A Vigorous Course to Ite Adopted by the New Administration. Washington-, April 3. The adoption of a vigorous policy to secure from the Turkish government a settlement ol the claims preferred by the United States on account of the destruction of American missionary property and outrages to American missionaries committed during tho uprising against the Armenians in the fall ol 1S95 is being considered by the new administration and proba bly will be put into oper ation soon. President McKinley's program contemplates the sending to Constantinople of Hon. John XV. Fos ter, formerly secretary of state, as a special envoy, with the rank of am bassador, to secure from the sultan the payment of the claims which have been tiled and the speedy trial of those American citizens against whom charges have been made by Turkish officials. The President probably will send to Congress a message recommending that authority be given him to com mission a special ambassador to Tur key for this purpose, and while no name will be proposed by the message Mr. Foster will be entrusted with the mission in the event that Congress gives to the President the power which he desires. The program has been under consid eration frr several da-s and meets the approval of leaders "in Cougress of both parties who have been consulted, among them Senators noar and Lodge of Massachusetts, and Proctor of Ver mont, who have interested themselves actively in the matter; Senator.-.

I SOUTH UNDER WATER FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE ARE LEFT HOMELESS. sfeaapbls Keller Cemaalttee Xewbars Set Tertk the Sitaatioa la the Kacloa Kow Laid Waste by the Mis sissippiFederal A d Will Be Necessary. Washington, April 6. R. C. Graves and J. S. Menken, representing the citizens' relief committee of Memphis. Tenn., organized for the purpose of relieving the people of the flooded country tributary to that city, pre pared the following statement, which they submitted to the President to day: ' "From Marion, Ark., north of Mem phis to Greenville, Miss., there are now at least fifty towns and villages under water and a territory extending from 100 miles north of Memphis to 209 miles south and five to fcrty mi'es wide is submerged and devastated by the flood. Hundreds of thousands of, acres of cultivated soil with growing crop;; are included in the submerged territory and there arc from 50,000 to 60,000 people whose property has been destroyed and whose business has been suspended thereby. The amount of damage to property is""incaleulable. In addition to the growing crops which have been destroyed, thousands of licad of working stock and of cattle have been drowned and starved. The great majority of the sufferers arc small farmers, mostly negroes, whq with the present crop destroyed and their working stock and farming tools swept away, are icf t utterly destitute and unprepared to begin work again even after the floods have subsided. The extent of the suffering has grown' lieyond the capacity of the local au thorities and of private local charities to relieve. Too Great for Private Keller. "The citizens' relief committee of Memphis arc now caring for from 0,000 to 7,000 refugees from the flooded dis trict, and they are still arriving by' boatloads every day. In addition to this large supplies of provisions are being sent to various points in Arkan sas and Mississippi where it is possiblo for the refugees to be cared for on higher ground and in relief barges. The utmost that can be done by these efforts is to measurably and temporar-. ily relieve present suffering. The committee has found it very difficult and very costly to reach a great por tion of the sufferers living in" the in terior, who can only be reached by skiffs operating with light draft steamers that can leave the main river. "Memphis being the onby point on high ground for about 20a miies north and south, it necessarily has become the place of refuge for all seeking to escape the flood in that locality. This flood is the greatest and most de structive that has ever devastated tho Mississippi valley, the waters being two and one-half feet higher than the highest stage it has ever reached be fore. The relief committee are thor oughly organized for the purpose of distributing supplies to the people of the tributary territory, and are will ing to do everything in their power to that end. but they have almost ex hausted their resources and reluctant ly confess their inability to cope with the situation without obtaining relief from the government." Representative Carmack, who rep resents the Memphis district in the. House, also signs the statement and says his information by wire and letter from the overflow district is entirely in accord with that made by the com mittee. Keports From Governors. The President has received the fol lowing from governors to whom spe cial messages were sent: "Jackson, Miss., April 7. Tele 'raphic communication with the floo.i cd districts is so interrupted by tiie overflow that it is impossible to gice anything like an accurate estimate of number of suffering.

Leaders te Ilave a Conference ia Nev Vork oa the 33d of May. New York, April 7. The Herald this morning says: Ex-President Cleveland, John G. Carlisle, former secretary of the treasury, and William Wilson, former postmaster general, will be among the guests at the dinner to be given by the Reform club at the Waldorf on Saturday evening, April 24. Between J.000 and 0,000 leading Democrats will attend and the affair is likely to make Democratic history. In connection with this gathering it is proposed to hold a conference of the gold standard Democrats in this city. Invitations arc being sent out to leaders of the gold faction in various states and the conference, it is expected, will last for two days. It will be held in Checkering hall, April 23 and 24 being considered as most desirable. There is some differ ence of opinion as to whether Demo crats of all factions should be invited to participate. Some Democrats favor the idea of inviting only gold Demo crats to this conference, while others hold that the only way to bring about unit- in the party, if it could be done at ali, would be through a conference of the leaders of all factions. The gold Democrats are beginning to realize that the whole free silver issue has got to be fought out again within their own party, and they are getting ready to organize for the battle. The leaders of the gold Dem ocratic movement in this and other cities have been in correspondence for a week with reference to the advisa bility of having a demonstration here at an early day, which shall show that they are not dead yet and that they are going to meet the issue which is stiilbeing forced upon them. The ap proaching dinner of the Reform Club will give them an opportunity for this demonstration. APPEAL FOR AID. Memphis Relief Committee CalU for Assistance for Flood Sufferers.

Osdy Uvea He Persevered Saffered Slaee the War With Kldaey Disease. From the Capital, St. Jobs, Kansas. Every citizen of St. John, Kansas, is ac quainted with Abasha Risk, one of the "Old Veterans" of the late war and resident of this city. A few months ago he was a com plete physical wreck, from kidney trouble and diarrhoea, almost unable to get around stall. Yourcorrespondeat. who had learned he had found relief, meeting him on the street recently, asked if he wouldn't give him all the facts, as ho was interested, as were also all bis friends. Mr. Risk said he was only too glad to iet the people in gen eral and His old comrades in particular (who he knew were suffering from complaints similar tohis)knowwhat had benefited him. He then made tho following statement: "I had been suffering for years from a complication of diseases, among them kid ney and liver trouble aud chronic diarrhoea. Tbo greatest trouble of all, however, was the cooipleto wreck of my nervous system, resul tins from my service in tbo army. I was, in fact, in a most terrible and deplor able condition. I tried every remedy I could hear of without the least beneficial results, until I saw a testimonial of an ''old veteran" who was ia the same regiment with me during the war (with whom I was well acquainted), statin? that he had been cured of a similar conipiaiot bv the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I hndalniostgiven up hope, but concluded at last to give Pink Pills a trial, as tbey might possibly help me. I began using them and soon com menced to feci slightly better: my improve ment was very slow, however, but still it was noticeable, and this was encouraging. In the course of about three weeks my con dition was vastly improved. To the present time I have taken 13 boxes of Pink Pills, and can truthfully say 1 believe 1 am en tirely cured of my kidney and liver trouble and nearly so of my diarrhoea. My nerv ous trouble, too is so much better that I am sure a euro will be entirely perfected in a short time. '3Iy wife also used the Pink Pilis with great benefit. Her blood was in an ex tremely bad condition. Since using the pills, however, tn is condition has entirely disappeared. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills tho most marvelous discovery of the age. I cannot say too much in their praise." Aca3ua Risk. Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People arc not a patent medicine in the sense that name implies. They were first compounded as a prescription and used as such in gen eral practice by an eminent physician. So great was their efficacy that it was deemed wise to place them within the reach of alL Tbey are now manufactured by tho Dr. Williams' Med iciuc Company, Sclietiectady, N.
