ONE OF TWO WAYS,

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is
from careless local treatment of other
diseases

FIFTEEN NEW WARSHIPS.
Naval board Decides Upon IA Big Addition
to the Sea Fighting Force.

Washington, ID. c.. Aug. 20.--A naval
program for presentation to Congress.
involving the immediate construction of
hfteen wnrships. was adopted to-day
by the naval board of experts to
whom the subject had been referred
by Secretary Long. II provides for
three sca-going barbtlte-turret battle
ships of $4,000 tons displacement and
n minimum of eighteen and one-half
knots speed when the vessels are load-
ed to their deepest draft, or an aver
age speed above nineteen knots under
ordinary cruising conditions; three
tirst-class armored cruisers of 12,000
tons and twenty-five knots speed, sim
liar TO the Maine type but highly i'm
proved, and for six protected cruisers
of 2.500 tons ana sixteen knots speed.
The reduced speed of these ships
which Is uniformly about two knots
less than proposed at the preliminary
meeting of the board yesterday, was
brought about by the desire to secure
unprecedented range OF action, on ac-
count of the increased responsibilities
of the United States In the Pacific and
the certainty that these vessels or most
of them will be required TO make up
the fleet in that ocean. The sacrifice
of speed to endurance was advlsably
made with Il view TO securing vessels
of at least 5000 knots radius. or capa-
bic of steaming straight away from
San Francisco to Manila or Samoa.

MUST NOT KILL GAME.
Indians VIII BE Prevented From Hunting
in Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 19.-Governor
Richards to-day wrote TO the secretary
of the interior, asking that the Sioux
Indians be prohibited by their agents
from hunting in Wyoming. For several
years these Indians have been making
hunting incursions into Converse coun-
ty, killing antelope and other large
game The county authorities will not
90 to the expense of arresting and
prosecuting them, and the state Is de-
sirous of having the hunting parties
kept out of the state entirely.
w. G. Pyle, deputy game warden of
Fremont county, reports that he has
been given n force of Indian police,
and will go to the head of Wind river
to send back hunting parties of Ban
nocks, peaceably if possible, but with
force if necessary. 1t is believed the
Indians will go TO their reservation
without trouble.
Governor Richards has declined an
invitation TO attend the Flower Carni-
val at Colorado Springs. The dates
conflict with those of the Irrigation
Congress TO be held here.

OF the army is following close upon
the cessation of hostilites. Notably
is this the case in the ordnance, quar-
termaster and engineer bureaus.
where the need for the supplies re
uuired and the men employed for tie
eXigencies of war no longer exists. In
the ordnance bureau the force at the
various arsenals is to be reduced in
all cases where this can be accom-
plished without detriment to the s.rr-
vice. The Rock Island arsenal prob
ably will be affected more than any
other. There, before the war, about
2iO men We're employed. When the
peace protocol was signed there We're
approximately 1000 men engaged.
| and orders have been issued which
will reduce this number two-thirds.
| The quartermastcr's department is
dispensing, rs rapidly as possible,
with such of the transports as We're
chartered and for which there Is now
no necessity. Considerable labor is
involved in this work, as n board of
survey has 10 be appointed to deter
mine the various incidental questions
that arise pending the return of lii"

In the engineers department the
services of electricians, mechanics
and laborers engaged in the work of
harbor and river mine defense and of
| boatmen employed TO patrol the adja-
| cent waters to warn approaching
craft of their danger also are being
discharged as rapidly rs is consistent
with the good of the service.

Saratoga, n. v, Aug. 21.-At the
closing session of the National Confer
ence on National Policy last night
Chancellor McCrackcn of the Universe
ty of New York. as chairman of the
committee of twenty-one on resolutions,
presented report, which he said had
been unanimously agreed upon by the
committee. The resolutions We're unan-
imously adopted by the conference, as
follows:
I'VE, the participants in the National
Conference on Foreign Policy of the
United States. held at Saratoga on
August 10 and 20, 1898, are unanimous
ly agreed as follows:
1--WE commend the wise and patriotic
purpose of the national administration
in first seeking to avoid war with
Spain and subsequently prosecuting
the war with higher aims and success
in bringing it to II speedy conclusion.
Ii is glorious to our arms and gratify-
ing TO the high aspirations of our peo-
pie.
ION behalf of freedom and human
welfare, we thank the officers and men
of our army and navy for their skillful
and heroic achievements on land and
on sea. and for their chivalrous CON
duet toward the defeated enemy We
believe that the rescued and liberat-
ed people of the surrendered Islands
are in sense temporarily the wards
of the conquering nation and that we
should treat them as such.
with our success, with our view OF
natural right and of the inestimable
privilege of civil liberty, we should not
be justified in returning the conquered
toll q H..
from which we have relieved them.
As soon as the islands under our pres
ent protection can be trusted TO govern
themselves, they should be allowed TO
do so, the United States retaining un-
der its authority only necessary naval
stations. Until such time rs they may
be able to govern themselves. they
should continue under the protection
of the United States, and the question
as TO whether. at some future period
and at the mutual desire of both. they
should be permanently annexed, should
be left to the time when it arises.
"rhe United States, in behalf of each
territory in question and so long as 1t
shall continue under its protection,
should adopt proper measures Tor Sc
curing out of the revenues of these
countries. the establishment of free,
elementary. unscctarian schools, sur
ficent for the instruction of all persons
of school age.
I'VE count the present an suspicious
time for the establishment by the Unit
ed States of n graded diplomatic and
consular service.
I'VE heartily approve of the principle
of arbitration in the settlement of in
ternational difficulties"

useless unless under foreign supervis-
ion.

Foreign opinion is lou. in praise of
the action of the American command
ers in excluding armed rebels from the

that their tirmness saved Manila from

but there is no danger now. Every

The result would be disastrous to them

American troops.
The custom house. administration
bureau, postofIicc and port are now ad-

HELP FOR COLORADO DAY.
Western Passenger Association Acts on the
Omaha Exposition Attraction.

Denver, Aug. 20.-T'he rate of 1 cent
IL mile from Colorado common points
to Omaha for Colorado Day has been
adopted by the Western Passenger As
sociation. The tickets will be on sale
September 18th, good for trains Sep
tembcr Ith and Sth, for continuous
passage, with II ten-day return limit.
Tickets will be of the Sebastian"
form, requiring their deposit in Oma-
ha. The rate is based on an average
mileage of $40 miles to Omaha, and
so the fare from Denver, Colorado
Springs or Pueblo will be S10.S0.
The Colorado roads have agreed up
on n rate of one fare for the round trip
to connect ut common points for Oma-
ha. Some of the trunk lines wanted n
1-ccnt rate for all over the state, but
this the mountain roads could not see
their way to grant. AS it is, the fare
from the most extreme part of the
state to Omaha and return will be
about S52, and. of course. much less
from points near Denver. 1t Is be
lievcd by the railroad men that the at
tendance will be very large. great
many inquiries are reported from the
local offices, not only in Denver, but
over the state, and particularly in the
Arkansas valley. This is one of the
lowest general rates made in some
time.

Japan and China are again having
little difficulty. but 1t is probable that
China, in view of the result OF the late
war, will yield gracefully to the de-
mands of the island kingdom. 1t
seems that some of the Chinese prov
inces have been having some anti
Japanese riots, and incidentally de-
stroying Japanese property. Japan de-
mands that a decree be Issued ordering
officials and people to respect foreign
property and life; that rioters and Of
flcials be punished; that Japan be paid
los, 900 taels for property damaged, and
that Japan be allowed to establish new
settlements. Japanese papers contain
strong pro-American editorials and
express the hope that the United States
