TIRED WOMEN.
The Housewife, the Farmer and the
Toilers of All Vacations.

Depression of the nervous system at the
approach of spring is fertile source
OF blood impurities. That tired feeling
which is the natural result of the depres-
sing effect of warm weather Immediately
after the invigorating cold of winter,
quickly disappears when Pe-ru-na is
taken. Thousands are daily testifying to
its priceless benefit. General lassitude,
dull, heavy sensations, continual tired
feelings, with irregular appetite, and
sometimes loss of sleep. Pe-ru-na meets
every indication and proves itself to be
perfectly adapted to all their varied pc
culiarities. Pe-ru-na invigorates the
system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores
the normal appetite and procures regular
sleep
This tired-out feeling is especially true
of the housewife in spring time-used up
tagged out, jaded and weak. There are
thousands of them everywhere. A few
bottles of Pe-ru-na would do them untold
benefit. AS Il tonic and nerve invigora-
tor it has no equal. 1t builds up the
nerves, it gives strength to the circula-
ton and ut once restores the appetite and
digestion. No feeble woman should be
without Pe-ru-na.

Washington, April 16-The civil service
commission is anxious to obtain additional
applicants for the positions of meat in
spectors in the agricultural department
and statistical field agents for rhe fish
commission. In all these positions con-
siderable technical knowledge is required

to $500; the field agents receive from
$500 to $1,000. Examinations for these
positions may be taken before any of the

PEACE NEWS CONF RMED,
LATE ADvICES RECEIVED FROM
MINISTER DUN TO
THAT EFFECT.
Ii HUNG CHANG AUTHORIZED
TO SIGN
An Imperial edict Giving Him That
An Imperial edict Giving Him That
Power-The Island of Formosa and
the Liam Tung Peninsula
Coded to Japan.

Washington, April 16.-Official confr-
hpeculation. The Noble Bros. of St.
OF treaty of peace between the plenipo-
tentlaries of China and Japan was re-
ceived by Secretary Gresham late today.
1t came from Minister Dun at Toxic, was
very brief and merely stated that a treaty
OF peace had been finally concluded today.
The minister's telegram gave no informa-
ton respecting what had been arrived at
The terms agreed upon are in conformity
with those already published, save
the amount of the indemnity
which was subsequently reduced, proba-
bly, to an amount estimated to be sufficient
to cover all of the Japanese war expenses.
1t is doubted, though, whether it has
been brought down as low as 100000, 900
in gold.
AS the territory which Japan is to
possess, it is understood here that, aside
from Formosa, which is absolutely ceded,
the remainder will be subject only to a
temporary occupation, probably until all
OF the indemnity has been paid. This
would leave Japan in temporary posses
sion of the entire Loa Tung peninsula
from Port Arthur, at the southern ex-
tremlty, up to Mountkden, the capital of
Manchurla, on the north, and from Liao
river, on which New Chwang is situated,
on the west to the Corean border on the
east. This amounts to about $1,000
square miles and is populated by about
3,0OO,O0O people.
The report of a condition that here
SHOUTED be an offensive and defensive
alliance between Japan and China is not
credited III Japanese circles, where it is
not believed to have been suggested. 1t
is said that the feeling between the two
people is so hostile and the differences
or government and habits are 80 pro-
nounced that even if such stipulation
We're included it would not be expected
to have any great binding force, should
emma hereafter be able to find q powerful
ally among the European powers. On the
other hand, some of the diplomatic bodies
here are inclined to believe that he alli-
ance has been made with an earnest pur-
pose to execute it. They see in it the reali-
zation of the prophecy an eminent scholar
recently made that these two nations
would eventually combine against occi-
dental methods and commerce and their
watchwOrd would be ''the Orient for the
Orientals." Old Lii Hung Chang is said
TO have entertained a strong conviction
(Which he concealed from prudent mo-
tives) as to the wisdom of such a combi-
nation, believing that by close alliance
with Japan China would secure an arm
strong III military prowess, while Japan
would secure in return practical control

INCOME TAX RETURNS.

Washington, April 16.-Instructions
collectors authorizing them in case Of in
correct income tax returns being filed to
make necessary corrections, unless the
person who filed such returns appeared
after one notice of the errors; also eX-
planning steps to be taken. Where per-
sons and corporations liable to make re-
turn have neglected or refused to make
them, all returns for 1894, except such
as are delayed by reason of appeals, must
be completed and forwarded to Washing
ton not later than May 10.
Although no official statement of the
facts would be given out today for publ
cation, it is believed the returns re-
ceived today show almost conclusively
that large number of persons in all
parts of the country who are subject to
the income tax have not made any re-
turn of their incomes. The proportion
of these to the whole number liable to
the tax is by some placed as high as
10 per cent. This state of things is
something of a surprise to the officials,
although it was expected that the divis-
ion of the supreme court on the constitu-
tionality of the tax as whole would
have the effect of discrediting it with a
large number of taxpayers who would
take the risk of paying a so per cent
penalty rather than make their returns.
This assumption has been proven to have
beeen correct and the result must neces-
sarily be an assessment of the penalty in
a large number of cases, as the officials
no doubt will strictly enforce the act so
long as it remains the law of the land.
No figures of any value as to returns
can be had before tomorrow.

vice:
1T is authoritively known that the
British minister of foreign affairs within
the past 4S hours has informed Mr.. Bay
ard that Great Britain does not desire
an increase of Nicaragua territory; that
her colonial possessions are already suf-
| tciently large to satisfy her ambition and
that all she desires of Nicaragua is that
a proper indemnity be paid to the British
consul, Hatch, and others of her majesty's
subjects who were driven out of Blue
fields during the trouble in the Mosquito
reservation last summer, Assurances
have also been given that while Great
Britain would show an earnest deter
mination to collect this indemnity, there
is little if any probability that Greytown
will be bombarded by a British fleet
in event that Nicaragua shall be slow in
complying with Great Britain's request"
There is q strong desire felt here for
concerning the position of
Great Britain on the response of Nicara-
qua to the British demands for repara-
ton for the expulsion of Consular Agent
Hatch. While there is a belief enter
tanned that the affair in the end will be
settled amicably, the matter has ap-
very near to the critical stage
as the next step must come from Great
Britain in the form of an answer to-
note, the substance of which
was published by the Associated Press
yesterday. There is considerable anX-
iety felt as to what the British reply
will be- Minister Guzman, the Nicara
guam minister, up to this morning has
had no information as to what response
would be made, nor has his government.
Nicaragua is hopeful that the response,
conceding much that Great Britain
asked, will be acceptable in a large part
and that the way will be left open for a
peaceful adjustment Considerable ap-
prehension, however, is felt, and espe-
cially in view of the publication in the
London Globe of what purports to be
the stand taken by the British govern |
ment.
