Waihlngton, May 11. Thore Wtjre two
significant features of yesterday's de
velopments of the universal postal con
gress. The first was the positive an
nouncement from the Korean minister
here, Mr. Chin Pom Ye, that the little
kingdom would join the union, ana the
second a decision that waB reached
after a long discussion to reduce rates
of international postal orders on a
sliding scale basis after reaching a
certain amount. This matter does not
affect the United States. The action
will not affect postal orders for less
than 100 francs, or 20. but will cheapen
the cost o all Issued for more than
that sum.
A scheme Is being urged, and may
be submitted at this congress for re
port at the next, providing for Inter
national telegraphic Service at the
postofTlDcs of some of the leading cities
of the various oountries. This already'
Is In operation at some places abroad,
but Its advocates want its operation
made general.
The Korean minister's announcement
puts an end to doubt that has been ex
pressed as to Korea's Intention of en
tering, the minister stating explicitly
that his country would Join. Ex-Governor
Hoyr, counsel for Korea, is at
tending the meetings and advising tho
Korean delegation, and added today
that of course that country would re
serve the right to refuse adhesion un
less the proceedings of the congress are
entirely satisfactory.
Despite positive announcements from
Pekln some months ago, there is some
doubt now as to China's Joining the
union, though Its delegates are in at
tendance, but without a vote. Orange
Free State, also, has not been heard
from. The delegations from Bulgaria
and Itoumanla made a proposition for
the adoption of the franc basis for all
postal orders, and many of the Latin
countries supported this, France,
Greece, Belgium, Italy and Spain were
among them.
England and Germany and other
countries opposed this at some length,
and finally France announced that that
country would not Insist upon tho prop
osition, as it recognized It might be in
convenient, - though recognizing the
compliment to its monetary system. It
was the general sentiment that the
present scheme, the basis of payment
being In each case that of the stand
ard of the Issuing country, should be
continued.

were closed for business yesterday, and
their owner Is nowhere to be rounu.
Forrest, who Is described as a physi

claim, since Friday last, and some of
them are much worried thereat. A cir
cular which the concern Is said to have
sent out broadcast a few weeks ago
gives an insight into their way of do

things, that "cash dividends of more
than 150 per cent had been paid clients
during the past nine months."

HOW YOU MAY OBTAIN A LASTING CUHB
FOR 1'ILDSr
No Sursleal operation, Ho Pain, Trifling
Expense A Simple, Harmless Remedy,
but it Does the Work.
There are some people who have piles as
frequently and regularly as other people have
colds.
Any little bowel trouble will brine them
on, any extra exertion, as In lifting, will
produce them, and In fact will often appear
without any apparent provocation. Piles,
however, are mncli more serious than a cold,
as the tendency is always to grow worse
nntll tho trouble becomes deep sealed nnd
ohronlc, or devolopes into some fatal rectal
disease.
Willie there are many pile remedies which
give relief, yet there Is but one which not
only gives instant relief but at the same time
makes a permanent euro, and that is tho well
known Pyramid Pile Curs.
This remedy is composed of simple, lrfirin
less, vegetable Ingredients, but combined so
effectively and act so promptly and thor
oughly that it cures every form of piles
whether itohlug, blind, bleeding or protrud
ing. In long standing cases the Pyramid Pile
Cure has proven to be the only certain cure
excopt a "surgical operation, and its advan
tages over an operation are many, as It is
painless, causes no delay, or Interference
with dally occupation and last but not least,
It is cheaper thaa any surgical operation
could possibly bo, costing but a dollar a
package at any drug store.
Tho cases that tho.PyramId Pile Cure will
not reach are so few that physicians are doing
away with operations for piles and depending
on this cheap but eflectivo remedy to accom
plish a complete euro, and it never disap
points except in cases beyond tho reaoh of
medical skill.
The Pyramid Pilo Curo ii prepared by the
Pyramid Drug Co., of Albion, Mioh., and for
salo by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per
package Bach pack ago contains a treatise
on causo and curo of piles, togothor with
testimonials from every section of this
country.

BRITISH COMMISSION'S REPORT,
It Boos Not Admit Thtit tlioBenl Herds

Doolni esTlmt tho Situation Deiumids
I'rmleut MiuiiiRemeut.
Waihlngrton, May 11. Mr. C. S. Ham
lin, former aslatant secretary of the
treasury, and now employed by the
government as assistant counsel In the
pending negotiations with arsat Brit
ain relative to the seal fisheries, has
returned from California, where he
went to confer with President Jordan,
of the Leland Stanford university.
President Jordan spent a part of last
season on the seal Islands, as com
missioner In charge of the seal lnves-
tlgatlons, and Mr. Hamlin's mission
was to secure, if possible, the accept
ance by President Jordan of a similar
commission for the coming season.
leaaon.
Mr. Jordan has agreed to undertake i
the work, and in company with Pro- I
feasor Stejneger and Lucas, of the
United States national museum, the
other memoers of the commission, Mr.
Joseph Murray of Colorado and Mr.
Morton of Indiana, special agents of
the treasury department, will sail for
tile Prlbilolt Islands about June 1. The
Instructions to the commissioners are
now in preparation, and will be com
pleted In a few days. It is said that
they will not differ In any Important
particular from those furnished the
commission one year ago. The prac
tice of branding the female pups, be
gun last year, will be contlrfued.
The report of the British commission,
which prosecuted Its investigation on
the Islands In conjunction with the
United States commission, has reached
the department of state, and although
our officials decline to discuss It, there
is no doubt they were somewhat Bur
prised at the conclusions reached. It
had been confidently assured that the
commission could not avoid the frank
statement that under existing condi
tions the seal herds were In Imminent
danger of annihilation, but It does not
do so. The report, however, is not en
tirely disappointing, as Mr. Thompson
admits that the situation demands pru
dent management to prevent a deple
tion of the herds.
Mr. Thompson. In concluding his re
port to the British authorities, says:
"The olarming statements to which
utterance has been Riven in recent
years, the accounts of the herds' Im
mense decrease and the prophecies of
Its approaching extinction are over
drawn and untenable. But It Is my
duty to state that there is still abun
dant need for care and for prudent
measures of conservation In the In
terests of all. A birthrate which we
estimate at 143,000 per -annum Is not
great in comparison with the drain
upon the stock. From one cause or
another a loss of over 20,000 Is ex
perienced among the pups ere they
emigrate to sea, and though the dan
gers they there encounter are un
known to us we may take it for certain
that the risks they run are great and
the loss they endure considerable.
"When to the measured loss In In

that the margin of safety Is a narrow

petuation of the present numbers; we"
cannot count upon an Increase. And It
Is my earnest hope that a recognition
of mutual Interests and a regard for
the' common advantage may suggest
measures of prudence which shall keep
the pursuit and slaughter of the animal

a hermit named Kowalind has con

they might receive the martyr's crown.
The police examined the spot and veri
fied the confession.
