this reference to the princess, whose
escapadeS are a familiar topic of goS-

to Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE senate
today, in executive session, disposed of
the case of Myron H. McCord, nomi-
mated as governor of Arizona, against
whose confirmation a vigorous fight
has been made. The matter was taken
up yesterday, when the cause of the
nominee was championed by Senators
Davis, Spooner and Carter and other
Western members, and confirmation
was prevented only by the absence of
quorum. Today as soon as the SEN
ate went into executive session, without
further debate, the vote was taken and
the nomination was confirmed. The
final vote was 20 to IS.
After the confirmation of McCord, the
senate took up the contested nomina-
ton of j. w. Hughes, to be postmas-
ter at Birmingham, Ala. The charges
against Mr.. Hughes were purely per-
sonal, and related mainly to his rela-
ton to his creditors. Senator Chand-
Ter, acting chairman of the committee
opposed confirmation, while Senator
Pettus Oem) espoused Mr. Hughes
cause. After speeches by these senators
vote was taken, resulting in Mr.
Hughes confirmation.

EVERY DOCTOR SAYS


That Women Are Sick Oftener Thai
Men. fy
When a woman is sick she may have
The same disease to which men are
liable. 1t is much more likely, how
ever, that her sickness is peculiar to
her sex, or at least complicated by her
than men, but it does mean that in
must always take different medicines
than men. but it does inenan that in
the preparation of any medicine for
women special care should be taken
to adapt it to her Constitution. Most
women fail to get relief from drugs
for this reason. Pe-ru-na was devised
with this end in view. 1t adapts itself
to a female constitution and female
diseases. Mrs. Eliza Wike, 120 Iron
street, Akron, Ohio, writes: 81 would
be in my grave now had it not been
for Pe-ru-na. No doctor! could help me
as Pe-ru-na did 1 was a broken down
woman, had no appetite; what little I
did eat did not agree with my stomach

RUIZ CLAIM.
Minister WOodford Directed to Press
1t for Settlement.

1t for Settlement.
WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE gov
eminent has directed United States
Minister Woodford to formally present
to the Spanish government and press
the claim Of the family of the late
Dr.Ruiz for indemnity in $4,000, on
account of his death in Jail, in Cuba
Mr.. WoodfOrdS Instructions lust COM
pleted, set out the reason for the pre-
sentation of the claim in detail. They
show that this government, animated
solely by the love of truth and right.
and a spirit Of justice, after the ma
ture consideration of the substantial
uncontroverted facts in the case. has
reached the conclusion that (under the
treaty of 1859 and the protocol of 1877
between the United States and Spain,
and the law of 1921 made part of the
protocoD all of the proceedings against
Ruiz after his arrest and the notice
given to the Cuban authorities of his
American citizenship, were illegal,
wrongful and arbitrary. 1t is held that
these proceedings were in violation of
his treaty rights, and resulted in his
death, and that, therefore, they war
rant the demand for indemnity. While
the circumstances would justify de-
mand for a much larger sum of money,
yet Mr.. Woodford is instructed to say
that in proof of the spirit of modera-
ton and absolute justice with which
the United States government is ami
mated, the government of Spain is
requested to pay the indemnity.
