ARBITRATION PUT OFF.
AngIO-Am erfcan Treaty Not Yet
Ready for Signatures.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-The new
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain, by which all differences
between these two countries for the
next five years are to be referred to
arbitration, will not be signed at pres
ent. Mr.. Olney and Sir Julian Paunce-
fOte closed the negotiations about sew
enteen days ago, and the final draft
was made and forwarded to Lord
Salisbury. AS it included all the feat
ures which had been agreed on during
the negotiations, no doubt was felt
that a speedy approval would be given
by Lord Salisbury, and that the sigma
lures to the instrument thereupon
would be affixed at Washington 1t
was expected that the document would
be signed coincident with the new
year, but this expectation will not be
realized, and the signatures, 1t Is now
stated, cannot possibly be affixed be-
fore the end of next month. The
causes for the delay cannot be stated
but they are sufficient to defer the
consummation Of the treaty In the
meantime, there is no reason to be-
lieve that the prospects of ultimate
agreement are less favorable than they
have been, the delay doubtless being
due to some unessential question, as
there is complete understanding on all
material questions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Minister
Hosk1, of Japan, today signed contracts
FOR two new cruisers for the Japanese
navy, to be built In American ship
yards, one by the Cramps, Of Philadel-
phia, and the other by the Union Iron
works, Of San Francisco. The award
to American builders was the conclu-
sion Of negotiations covering many
months, and was based not only on the
merits of American ships, American ar
NOR and American material, but was a
recognition on the part Of Japan of the
kindly offices Of the United States dur
ing the recent Japan-China war. The
contracts were signed at the japanese
legation, where there were present for
the occasion the minister and his Off
cial staff a delegation Of japanese
naval experts, consisting Of Command
er K. Martha, Constructor S. Sakura
and Constructor S. Takelkura; also
Messrs. Cramp and Scott.
Naval experts have been in this coun-
try some months visiting American
yards and critically inspecting the war
ships which have been built for the
American navy. AT the same time 9TH
er experts were inspecting the yards
keen competition arose as to which
country would first secure contract.
The contracts call for the completion
and delivery Of the ships by Dec 81,
1893. They are to be built of 4,760 tons
each and of the following dimensions:
Length, S74 feet inches; ex-
IRENE breadth, As feet inch
es; depth, 30 feet inches;
draft, mean, II feet inches. They are
to be of the second-class type and will
be something similar to the United
states cruiser Columbia. The hull will
be of steel. but without armor The
deck will be protected with six inches
OF steel. The armament of each will
be as follows: Two eight-inch guns.
one at forecastle and one at poop;
twelve twelve-centimete guns, six on
each side as broadside; twelve twelve
Founders, also arranged for broadside
SIX on each side; six two and one half
FOUNDERS; five torpedo tubes.
Ihe ships will be very fast the con-
tract calling for at least TWENTY-FIVE
and half knots under forced draught.
Each ship will have a double bottom
OF steel with water-tight compartments.
consisting Of longitudinal and trans
verse bulkheads. Electricity will be
utilized for steering, lighting and venti-
laflng. The ships will be completed
throughout in American shipyards, but
the ordnance, torpedoes and torpedo
tubes will be put aboard by the Jap
anese government after the ships have
been delivered in Japan. The cost Of
the two ships is in the neighborhood of
$3,00OG00. AS yet no names have been
given to them. 1t is probable Madame
Hoshi will do the honors of christening
the two ships when launched. .a..-

were some pretty good names. Why
not that Of Astor? The result of these
thoughts was the production Of "Ealen-
tino," romance of Italy of the six
tenth century. 1t was worthy book
that showed some research and some
fair psychic and intellectual power. 1t
reconstructed Italy with some art, but
there was a false note in it, and the
Only attention that it drew was the
attention that wondered that an
Aston could write it. Then it fell fiat.
But Mr.. Astor did not despair. He
wrote another book and published It
in 1889. Very few persons have read
it. Hardly anyone knows it's name.
Thus the arrow that William Waldorf
Aston shot at fame from the bow Of
literature was lost. What was he now
to do? He determined to shoot another
arrow in the same direction from an
Their bow. in the hope that the second
would point the first. He went to Eng
land and bought a newspaper and a
magazine.

great lever to lift society with. In
America Mr.. Aston was at the very top
of the very best society. In England
he found that while he was generally
received with politeness and that the
doors of London's bohemia stood open
to him, he found also that there was a
rare air above all this that he noted
was rather difficult to breathe. In
this air he now determined to live. An

Own Way.
Any honest physician will tell you
that there is but one way to get in
creased flesh; all the patent medicines
and cod liver oils to the contrary not
withstandtng.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and vigor Of mind and
body, and that is through the stomach
by wholesome food we'll digested. There
is no reason Or common sense in any
other method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous,
pale and shaky in their nerves, simply
because their StomachS are weak.
They may not think they have dys-
pepsia, but the fact remains that they
do not eat enough food or what they
eat is not quickly and properly digested
as it should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason is
because the stomach lackH certain di-
gestive acids and peptones, and de-
ficient secretion of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is
to supply what the weak stomach
lacks. There are several good prepara-
tions which will do this, but none so
readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
which are designed especially for all
stomach troubles, and which cure all
digestive weakness on the common
sense plan Of furnishing the digestive
principles which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give per-
feet digestion. First effect is to in
crease the appetite, and increased vigor,
added flesh, pure blood, and strength
Of nerve and muscle is the perfectly
natural result.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest tonic known and will cure any
form of stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach. May be found at drug

THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Now that Will
lam Waldorf Aston has renowned the
stars and stripes and has became an
out and out British subject, his mama
will be talked about from one end Of
the country to the other. Editors will
eXude ink, statesmen will smile in fine
scorn, New York society will, in its
own dazed way, vent as much express
sion as it is possible for it to vent, and
even the common people" will have
something to say. Mr.. AStOr will have
at last accomplished the ambition of
his life and have made the land he
was born in jingle with his name.
What a pity it is that he will not be
able to read all that will be written
about him. But let the envious tongue
of the people, high and low, wag until
IT is tired. Mr. Aston will be happy
He will pay a pretty high price for his
fame, such as it will be, but then, you
know, Mr. Astor is accustomed to pay
ing high prices for his qualifications,
and can afford to. Then, besides, he is
buying his present notoriety cheap, and
after all will have said and done his
purse will be just as fat as ever and
he will not be abused by the Prince OF

genius. Anyone can get elected to con-
gress; most people have hopes Of being
president; writing good novels and nice
poetry and being the editor of a big
paper are achievements that are by
no means uncommon. But who ever
heard Of an American having the
Duchess of Buccleuch, with all her
artipathy for things American, in his
draW1ng-room in actual conversation
with him, to say nothing at all of his
royal highnesS the Prince Of Wales
hobnobbing with his grace the Duke
OF COburg in the conservatory Of that
same house under one and the same
roof? How was the trick done? 1t was
not a question Of buy for the Duke Of
Buccleuch, the husband of the duchess,
has an income yearly Of $4,000,000 or
perhaps double that Of Mr.. Astor him
self. Let it be remembered, too, that
the duchess is a sister Of Lady Bland
ford, whose divorced husband married
Mrs. Hamrnersley and placed on her
Yankee brow the coronet of Marlbor-
ough, which had once pressed the
brOws Of the duchess sister! The stu
pendousness Of the task makes one
dizzy even to think of it, let alone try
ing to speculate as to how Mr.. Astor
mastered the problem.
So now all that remains to be said
is to be said Of the future. Mr.. Astor
has sold out most Of his property here,
and has left orders for the rest to be
sold as soon as possible without actual
loss. He has burned his ships and is
a subject of the queen. He has gone
to England to stay. What may the
future have in store for him? Will he
be the first American to win his way
on money to the very steps Of the
throne? It is not at all improbable,
for, to use a sporting phrase, Mr.. Astor
has struck his gait He may, after he
shall have been created a baronet,
then lord, then an earl, marquis and
duke, marry a princess Of the blood,
get real coat of arms and a motto,
find himself emblazoned in Burke's
peerage without too detailed a men,
ton of Weasels, become a colonel in the
Amy, sit in the house of commons
one term and then forever after in
the house Of lords, and cap the climax
of foreign nobility by marrying his
future noble son to an American girl
whose father is inordinately rich and
very commercial. Mr.. Astor has
fcurteen-year granddaughter, who at
tends to her fathers great receptions.
Between them they entertain their
royal guests, and Mr.. Aston finds that,
after all, the empty society he so much
despised in his ambitious youth is the
true key to that greatness which has
made TantaIus Of him in the past.
