The Manila correspondent of the Times

urging him to use his office to prevent the
Spaniards from regaining supremacy in the
Philippines. The conduct of the American
troops is admirable The town, since their

The HongKong correspondent of the

LONDON, Aug. 29.-Gen. William Booth,
of the Salvation Army, sent the following
telegram to Emperor Nicholas this after
noon: May it please your Majesty-I have
received with profound thankfulness to God
the news of your Imperial Majesty's wise,
beneficent and Christianlike proposal in
favor of universal peace. / cannot refrain
from assuring you of the admiration of the
multitudes of SalvationistS in all parts of
the world, whose prayers will ascend to
Almighty God for your Majesty and for the
triumphs of those principles of peace and
righteousness after which they are ever
striving and which are moving you to seek
the true welfare of all nations. This great
act of Gods will must forever add to the
honor of your Majestys name and reign and
country"
DR.. Emil Reich the eminent Hun
garan historian and British counsel in
the Venezuelan arbitration, in an inter-
view on the subject of the Cars peace
note, expresses the belief that his Majesty
is visionary. He says: THE Car is a
dreamer. He is not in robust health and has
always to take care of his body. This
scheme for universal peace is one of his
dreams. 1t Is also a feint. Count Muravieff
(the Russian minister for foreign affairs)
hopes thereby to get free hand in the de-
velopment of Russian schemes in Man
churia.
Suppose France disarmed. Her popula-
ton now is forty millions, against Ger
manys flfty-two million. In ten years Ger
many would have largely added to her lead
in population and France could not display
an army nearly as large as her rivals.
Sweden and Norway and Italy would like
TO disarm and might do so with impunity
but for the rest of Europe ii is impossible
Europe must fight lest the present politi-
cal conditions undergo an early change"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 29.-Hon.
Hoke Smith, ex-Secretary of Interior: Rep
resentatives Livingston and Bartlett, of
Georgia, were at the War Department to-
day and offered the Atlanta Exposition
building and grounds for quarters for the
troops. They told the Secretary of War that
the buildings were in good repair, that there
was plenty of water and lake of twenty
acres, and that the buildings would ac-
commodate from ten to fifteen thousand
soldiers. The buildings and grounds were
rendered free to the government if they
could be made available. General Corbin at
once directed that an investigation of the
place be made to see if it could be made
available for the government. Representa-
1--WE Bartlett said that the land at Macon
and Brunswick, Ga. would be placed at the
disposal of the government for a camp if it
was desired.

The prevalent opinion among the surgeons
is that the disease which has caused the
death of so many men among the troops
at Fernandina is typhoid malarial fever.

The last time these two met DAILY got the
decision on foul in the seventeenth round
at the Lenox Athletic Club and since that
time Mcfarland has always claimed that
he had Daily whipped on that occasion. He
insisted that on their next meeting he
would demonstrate his superiority over the
Delaware man and he did this very effect

tonight. Both men were in splendid condi-

was one of the cleanest and cleverest exhi-

There was little to choose between the men
at the end of the go, but as Mcfarland had
done more leading than his opponent the
referees decision in his favor was received
with approval. Days friends lost lot Of
money on the result.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Acting Secre-
tary Allen has decided to adopt the policy
of mastering out the naval militia in bodies,
instead of individually, as heretofore. This
will be done in the case of the New York
men on the Yankee, now at New York and
IN all other cases hereafter. Mr.. Allen be-
lieves that the miltiamen will be better
pleased to go to their homes in bodies,
where they may be met by their people and
greeted publicly. The Navy Department is
highly gratifed at the splendid service rem
dsred by these men, Just before the battle
of July sixty Chicago militiamen were
placed on the battle ship Oregon, and the
reports that come to the department all
speak in the highest terms of their ability
So well had they been drilled in instances
that new men were turned over to the MILL
tiamen to be instructed in their duties. The
militiamen were also on the best terms with
the enlisted men aboard the ship and the
latter manifested their appreciation of the
coed qualities of the Chicago boys by cheer
ing heartily for them as they We're gathered
to be mustered. The department is not able
10 proceed as fast as it would like in the
matter OF mastering out the miitiamen ow-
Ing TO the necessity of retaining sufficient
body of sailors TO man the ships.

are many reasons why a wise woman fol-
lows this course The chances are that an
obscure physician of small practice will
not diagnose troubles of this nature prop
erly. If he does, he will insist on the
obnoxious examinations and local treat
ment from which every sensitive, modest
woman shrinks.
The specialist referred to is DR.. r. v.
Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting
physician to the Irvalids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y. Thirty years
ago he discovered a wonderful medicine
for diseases peculiar to women, that may be
used effectively in the privacy of the home,
and does away with all necessity for exani-
nations and local treatment. This medt-
cine is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. II acts directly on the delicate
and important organs concerned IN Wife
hood and motherhood. 1t makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t allays in-
hammation, heals liberation, soothes pain
and tones and builds up the nerves. Taken
during the period of prospective maternity,
it banishes the usual discomforts and
makes baby's coming easy and almost pain
less. 1t insures the little newcomers
health and an ample supply of nourish-
ment. Over ninety thousand women have
testified to its marvellous merits. Medicine
dealers sell it.

to tell you, what you want.

NEW 1OfK Evening OuT
This is a bareheaded summer. Go where
you will in the country, you will find
pretty general discarding of the hat. Men
and women go about with nothing but their
hair al a protection from the sun. You will
get glimpses of girls flying along country
roads on bicycles in this condition. Perhaps
1t is simply a fashion, craze of the mo-
ment. Perhaps it Is something more. One
fact is assured-there is greater sanity in
the clothes worn in the country than
was the case some time ego. This must be
laid down to the exigencies of bicycling and
golfng. Throughout the day the young
person out of town Is less artificial in the
matter of clothes than she used to be some
years ago. For enc thing, she is less afraid
of wind and sun. Perhaps the bareheaded
habit is only outcome of this.
