JApAN's aAysl ADVANCEMENT.
Cramp Says She VIII soon Rank Third
Among Nations.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-THE launch
ing of the Jaranesa warship Kasagi,
which is BENZ b ,ilr Ct Cram ship
yard, win /. plaee on IT. lay at
noon The I1asagi is the mos import
ant ship ever built i'll the United States
for foreign account, and is the first for
eign warship launched in this country
since the Zobiaca in 1878.
In compliance with requests for in
formation that are coming to him from
all over the country, Charles H. Cramp,
the builder of the ship, said
1.-THE Kasagi is one among a large
number of ships of various type and
classes embraced in the new naval pro-
gram Of Japan. A sister ship to her is
building ON the Pacific coast, and others
of various classes up to 14,800-ton bat
tleships either in England, France, Ger
many or in Japan's own dockyard at
Yokohama.
when the fleet. of which the Kasagi
is an important factor shall be com
pleted, an event not more than two
years off at the farthest, Japan will
rank as the foremost naval power in the
Pacific ocean, and, generally speaking
nearly, If not quite, third in rank
among the naval powers of the world
She VIII certainly outrank in the all
around sense all but England, France
and Russia; and SO far as the Pacific
ocean is concerned will be far superior
to all eXeep5 perhaps England, and it is
doubtful 4 ever England could, with
due regard to her requirements in her
own waters, or i'll the Mediterranean
and the defence of her commerce, spare
naval force enough for concentration in
the Pacific to equal in that ocean the
new japanese navy, of which the Ka-
sagi is a factor"

FOREIGN RELATIONS MAY FIGURE
A Hot Debate Expected in the House
This Week.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE house is
likely to become thesarena for general
discussion of our foreign relations in
connection with the consideration of
the diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bill during the present week. The
Cuban situation, the annexation of Ha-
wall and the designs Of the European
powers towards China will, of course,
be the principal topics to attract atten-
ton.
The house managers do not want an
extended debate on Cuba precipitated
at this time, but the minority is deter
mined to press the question during the
consideration of this bill. They believe
the time is particularly opportune, ow-
ing to the anti-autonomy riots in Ha-
Vana.

TOCURENERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To GaIn Flesh, to Sleep We'll, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Make Test of stuart's
 Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
 Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are notcured by nerve medicine and spring reme- dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of;the stomach is the or gan to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspepties often do not have any pain whatever in the stom- ach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weah ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach SO much as in nearly every other organ; i'll some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are eOnstipated, with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appe- tite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 MT. A. W. Sharper of No. 61 Pros pect St., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows: "A motive of pure grat- itude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets. 1 have been ;I sufferer from ner- yous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent med icines and other remedies without any favorable result. They some times gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. attributed this to my sedentary hab- it's, being a bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but l am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for 1 have gained in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way. The above is written not for notoriety. but is based on ac- tual fact" Respectfully yours,
 A. w. Sharper
 Gl Prospect St., Indianapolis Ind.
 It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or disease except cancer of stomach. They cure stomach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleepless- ness, palpitation, heartburn, consti- patton and headache.

4 NARROW ESCAPE
HAS A YOUNG LADY FROM A

Mss Bond the Daughter of Preach CT, Dragged Some Distance
 Near Sherrill.

From a gentleman in from Sherrill yesterday we learn of a very narrow escape of Miss Bond from run away horse last Saturday afternoon Miss Bond is the daughter of Rev. J J. Bond, the Methodist preacher at Sherrill, and while out driving in a buggy or cart last Saturday after noon the horse ran away, iniuring the young lady considerably. When the horse started Miss Bond wrap ped the lines tightly around her hands to hold the frightened animal, but soon the wheels of the vehicle were run against a stump and the young lady was precipitated to the ground. Not being able to release her hold on the lines. she was drag ged some distance until the horse was stopped. Fortunately, how ever, the young lady was notserious- ly injured, and her escape isconsider- ed miraculous.
