The final consequence is barrenness,

has been delayed too long. This Is one

Washington Story.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The admins
tration has under consideration for some
time the policy of making public the
text of the letter presented to the Duke
of Tetuan, the Spanish minister for for
eign affairs, by Minister Woodford. in
which was outlined this governments
views with reference to the Cuban stu
alton. 1t was proposed to do this be-
cause of the incorrect and sensational
reports that have been circulated con-
corning Minister Woodford's presenta-
tions to the Spanish authorities, but it,
however. has been deemed advisable by
the president to withhold the letter from
the public for the present. 1t is sup
posed that Mr.. Mckinley may have
been animated in this decision by the
wishes of the Spanish government.

NEWS FROM FOREIGN LANDS
MARQUIS OF SALISBURY HAS NOT
WITHDRAWN FROM THE BER-
ING SEA CONFERENCE.
GLADSTONE WRITES SARCASI|CAlI
Minister WOOdfOrd Pays Visit OF
Courtesy to the Spanish Premier.
That UItimatum and Other
Newsy Items.

London, Sept. 27.-An announcement
was made this afternoon, confirming the
dispatches of the Associated Press of
Saturday last, that the Marquis of Sails
bury has not withdrawn from the Ber-
ing sea conference, but has simply OBJ
jected to the presence of Russia and
Japan.
Negotiations on the subject are pro-
ceeding. Great Britain is willing to take
part in the conference and is endeaYor-
ing to secure the acqulescence of
Canada.
John Hay, and the British ambassador
to the United States, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, visited the foreign Office this after
noon.
The whole hitch seems to be due to
the failure of the Marquis of Salisbury
to respond to Col. Hays note of July
20, acknowledging the Marquis of Sails
bury's agreement to "a meeting OF eX-
perts," and which Col. Hay stated that
he expected Russia and Japan's repre-
sentatives would be present at the con-
ference. Exception being taken to this,
Col. Hay concluded that the matter was
settled Wednesday last, when an obJec-
ton was received from the British side,
it being pointed out that the Marquis
of Salisbury never contemplated taking
part in a conference at which Russia
and Japan were represented, having con.
tended, as shown in his dispatches OF
May 8, that they have no locus standi::
1t is also pointed that the Marquis of
Salisbury's letter of July 30 distinctly
says that Great Britain had agreed to
a meeting of British, Canadian and
American experts.
The Japanese minister said to rep
resentative of the Associated Press to-
day:
"While no formal communications
have passed between Japan and Eng
land, have discussed the arrangements
for conference with the foreign Off
Gals"
1t is a curious fact that Col. Hays
dispatch of July 30 is omitted from the
Bering sea blue book just issued.

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-
ton by Dieting n BarbarOus
and Useless One.


We say the old way, but really it is
a very common one at present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians as well
consider the first step to take in attempt
ing to cure indigestion is to diet, either
by selecting certain foods and rejecting
others or to greatly diminish the guam
tity usually taken, in other words the
starvation plan is by many supposed to
be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again, but still the moment Dys-
pepsia makes its appearance a course
of dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientifc to recommend diet
ing or starvation to a man suffering from
Dyspepsia, because Indigestion itself
staryes every organ and every nerve and
every fibre in the body.
What the Dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good,
wholesome. well cooked food and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to d.
gest it. This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method by which
they cure the worst cases of Dyspepsia,
in other words the patient eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets digest it for him. In this way
the system is nourished and the over
worked stomach rested because the tab
lets will digest the food whether the stom-
ach works or not One of these tablets
will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and
safest remedy sold for stomach troubles
and every trial makes one more friend
for this excellent preparation. Sold at
so cents for full sized packages at all
drug stores.
