 The peace commissioners for the Paris conference will only be nomi- mated after a debate on the protocol.

THE PEACE PROJECT.
EurOpe'S SkepfiCaI View of inc
 Details.

London, Sept. 9-After long ab- stractions on the czar's proposed uni versal peace conference European opinion is busy with concrete consid- eraItior of it. All the governments will formally approve the proposal, but some will suggest the need of a programme for the conference, to be arranged by preliminary exchanges of opinio.. No hint of programme comes from St. Petersburg. The ar rangelnent of a programme will prob ably require months
 If the conference meets at all the date of its first session will be well into next year. It is considered at the moment here more probable that dis cussion will gradually shelve the pro- ject. The British fleet and the Alsace- Lorraine questions are regarded as two nearly insuperable obstacles to results.
 gland nas echoed with academic approval of the proposal. The reduc- rion Of the navy is emphatically an other thing. No voice with or with out authority dares even to suggest it. AS for France, not merely in the newspapers and the cafes, but in every French household the 1esire is eX- pressed to recover the lost provinces, and this demand has gown fiercer in the general French chagrin at the loss of charm of the Russian alliance.
 Every days reflection n ultiplies the dl,iculties in the way of 2 conference, but for the present the proposal guar antees peace during the. discussion. The ear. it is argued, disarms poten- tial enemies.
 The underlying French common sense is at last working in the H-eyfus case. Tangible proof of intrigues and forgery alone was necessary to turn French opinion toward revision. M. Cavaignac supplied it in the discovery of the Col. Henry forgery.
 It is nearly certain that Russia has ercognized the English sphere of in- f1uence in China, while England is to receive and enforce compensations from Pekin for recent Russian con- sessions.

-BITION.

Madrid, Sept. 9-The following statement has been made by an im- pcrtant Spanish official Senor Sil- vela, leader of a section of the conser- vative party who refuses the govern rnent tl2e support of his party, although he is fully aware of the difficulties of the situation. He is doubtless prompt ed by a desire to obtain power. He will do all in his power to realize his desire With a short delay
 The country will then see how soon the man who is now posing as a lib- eral, will be transformed into a des- pOtic dictator. General Polavieja has handed a copy of his manifesto to the newspaper men, but the censor forbids Its transmission by telegraph. It is probable that the general intends to read It today in the cortes.

Does Baby
! hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of Scott's
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott's Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
