these communications was to the effect
that European interests are threat
ened by what Spain terms 1.-The pre-
tensions of the United States to right
to interfere in colonial matters"
France, not Austria, was the prime
mover in the suggested mediation, and
by her counsel it was suggested to the
British foreign office that the powers
unite in note to the United States
and Spain offering to mediate in the
disputes between those two countries.
Great Britain. however definitely re-
FUSED to join in the movement, stating
In substance that the Cuban question
did not concern her. While it was not
actually announced that Great Britain
sympathizes with American interven-
ton to end the war in Cuba, such
sympathy is fact.
Communications looking to media
ton are still being exchanged between
the Continental powers, but they recog-
nize that Great Britain's refusal to
cooperate will rob the movement Of
much of it's weight
1t is still uncertain whether the Con-
tinental powers will finally offer medi-
alton. Now that Great Britain has
cold-shouldered the matter, the diplo-
mats do not believe the United States
would accept such an offer, the combi-
nation being so evidently biased in
favor Of Spain that Spain would gladly
submit her quarrel to such tribunal.
The chief Importance of the move
ment, in the opinion Of diplomat who
is conversant with the situation, Is
that it probably will have the effect of
widening the cleavage between Great
Britain and other nations, and of
strengthening the growing sympathy
and community Of interests Of the Unit
ed States and Great Britain.

the decision. The case was that of
the Minneapolis flour mill men against
II. r. Eagle. a wholesale grocer of
this city.
The appeal was taken from a decision
handed down by Judge Showalter in
October 1897. which foy3nd for the de-
PENDANT. Judge ShowS3ter refused to
grant an injunction restraining the de-
PENDANT from selling flours branded
Minneapolis mills but manufactured
in other places.
The contention of the defendant was
that the words MI nneapolis mills" had
come to mean flour made from hard
spring wheat under the roller or pat
ent process. and had 10 reference to
the place where the. Wheat was milled.
Judge Showalter held that the COM
plainants had no snchsS property right
in the name of thei town or place In
which their goods were manufactured
as to enable them to stop the use of
it, even If wrongful, by makers out
side of the state.
The decision OF Judge Bum oyerruled
the decision Of Judge Showalter and
granted the Injunction

Record tomorrow will say: 1.-THE far
reaching power Of the decision is seen
when 1t is known that the annual out
put Of flour made by the complainants
is put at 500, ,000.s The case was
intended as a test, and it Is probable
that 1t will be carried to the United

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.

Positive Cure for dyspepsia.
This may read as though we were
putting 1T a little strong because 1t is
generally thought by. the majority of
people that Dyspepsia In its chronic
form is incurable, or practically so.
But we have long since shown that
Dyspepsia is durable, nor is 1T such
a difficult matter as 1t first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
tremes or else deluging the, already
over burdened stomach with "bitters, y
latter dinner pills." ETC., which invar1-
ably increase the difficulty even If in
some cases they do give slight tenn
porary relief. Such treatment Of the
stomach simply makes matters worse,
What the stomach wants Is rest. Now
how can the stomach become rested
recuperated and at the same time the
body nouTdshed and sustained?
This is the great secret and this is
also the secret of the uniform success
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is
q comparatively new remedy, but its
success and popularity leave no doubt
as to it's merits.
The tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stomach
The sufferer from dyspepsia accord

of good, wholesome food and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food will be
digested no matter how bad your dys-
pepsia may be, because as before stat
ed, the tablets will digest the food
even If the stomach Is wholly inactive
To illustrate our meaning plainly, II
you take 1900 grains Of meat eggs OF
ordinary food and place it in a tenn
perature Of SO degrees, and put with II
one Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets II
will digest the meat or eggs almost as
perfectly as If the, meate was enclosed
within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak
yet these tablets will, perform the work
Of digestion and the body and brain
will be properly noprished and at the
same time a radical, lasting cure OF
dyspepsia will be made because the
much abused stomach will be given,
to some extent, a much needed rest.
Your druggist will tell you that Of the
many remedies advertised to cure dys-
pepsia none of them has given so
complete and general satisfaction as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not
least In importance in these hard times
Is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for
the least money.

DIPLOMATS ON aUI WYE.
Action on the Part of Continental
Powers Hourly Expected.


WASHINGTON April 5.-The diplo-
matte corps is fully advised of the tele-
graphic exchange now going on be-
tween the capitals of Europe, and is
en- the qui vive.
1t is known at the embassies and le-
cations that France and Austria are
most active in endeavoring to bring
about a common basis for concerted
action. 1t is understood also that the
the exchange has proceeded sufficiently
to acquaint the powers with the fact
that any steps they may take towards
mediation will be acceptable to SPAIN
There is not the same assurance that
1t will be acceptable to the United
States, and it is the prevailing feeling
at the foreign establishments in Wash
ington-and this feeling has undoubt-
edly been communicated to the powers
in the European concert-that the ten
dency in the United States is against
any mediation from foreign sources.
This is regarded as making the ac-
ton Of the powers much more diff
cult. The action of the powers in the
present crisis is purely of friendly
character, carefully designed to avoid
woundng the feelings of either party,
and expressly based on their willing
ness to accept this medium of Securing
continued peace.
AS already stated, the understanding
In diplomatic circles here, based on late
advices, is that Spain stands ready to
accept this mediation, while the unoff1-
cial indications are that the United
States will not accept 1T.
The bulletin from London saying that
Great Britain had finally declined to
enter the concert of powers places a
new and most important condition on
this European movement, and one
which may finally defeat it, 1t has
been known here that Great Britain
was holding out most strongly against
anv tender of mediation, on the ground
that outside pressure might force the
hand Of the United States
The attitude of Great Britain-and
this view has been made known to the
state department-has been that the
war in Cuba should cease in the inter-
ests of humanity at large.
The French ambassador maintains
his usual reserve, but it is known that
he looks forward to definite action on
the part of the powers almost any mo-
ment. The Austrian minister, Mr.. Won
Hengelmuller, denies himself to all
callers, and there is the most rigid Sc
crecy as to his communications with
the state department.

NO OFFER AS YET MADE
POWERS UNABLE TO AGREE ON
PLAN OF MEDIATION
Great Diplomatic Activity Mt wash
ington, but No Tangible Result
Up to the Close of Office Hours--
England Refuses FIatly to Take
Part In Any Scheme of Mediation
A Fatal Blow.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The day
has been prolific of reports of media
ton on the part of the European pow
ers, but summary of all the news on
this point is that the powers of Europe
cannot agree, and that their interior
ence would be unacceptable to the
government of the United States.
Throughout the day unusual activity
was manifest at the foreign embassies
and legations representing the great
powers of Europe These representa-
tiVes are the British ambassador, Sir
Julian Pauncefote; the French ambas-
sador, NJ. Cambon; the German am
bassador DR.. Won Holleben; the italian
charge d'affaires, Count Vinci, and the
Austrian minister, Mr.. Won Hengelmul-
Ter. These officials were kept fully adj
vised from their foreign offices, and it
was expected that concerted move
ment would be made almost any mo-
ment.
About midday the British ambassa-
dor went to the French embassy and
conferred with NJ Cambon on the stu
alton, and shortly after Count Vinci
was at the British embassy.
Again, at 5 o'clock, 1t was understood
that the French ambassador and Aus
trian minister conferred with Sir Julian
ct the British embassy. But, while
conferences were thus going on and
apprehension was keen over an anticl-
pated move, it could not be learned up
to late hour that any actual offer of
mediation had eventuated. 1t certain
ly had not been made up to the close
of Office hours at the state department.
The German ambassador, DIR. Won
Holleben, appears the only one not ac-
lively participating in the conferences
today, but there is reason to believe
he is kept fully advised on the senti-
ments at Berlin concerning the Span
iSh situation.
Accompanying the diplomatic COM
ment was an undercurrent of sugges-
ton that developments in Cuba were
not unlocked for, and that the pres
sure of the powers and the pope on
Spain might yet bring about an armiS-
tice in which both Spanish troops and
insurgents would participate. Viewed
from the official standpoint here, the
time for that has gone by, and there
is little likelihood that the insurgents
could be induced to lay down their
arms, even for a time.
The Spanish minister, Senior Polo
Bernabe, did not take part in any Of
the diplomatic conferences, nor did he
have occasion to visit the state depart
ment during the day. If the negotia-
tons have taken any new direction, 1t
has been between Minister Woodford
and the authorities at Madrid and not
at Washington.
Some of the diplomats have suggest
ed a meeting of the representatives in
Washington of the European powers,
in order to see if something cannot be
done to preserve peace. 1t is felt by
the diplomats who desire European
mediation that any move must be made
quickly, and that there is no further
time for pour parlers between the
European capitals. 1t is not yet known
whether anything will come of the sug-
gestion.

SHAWNEETOWN DISASTER.
1t Is Not Probable That the Death
List Will Run Much Above

SHAWNEETOWN, ILL.,, April 5.-Twenty-
three known dead; possibility that the list
may reach thirty; fifteen hundred people in
actual need of the necessaries of life; 700
people homeless, and damage to the amount of
$500, GOO is the net result Of the flood which
swept through Shawneetown Sunday after
noon.
CYPRESS JUNCTION. H., April sit is
reported that by 10 o'clock this morning IL
bodies had been recovered at Shawneetown.
The telegraphio communication between Cy-
press Junction and Shawneetown has not yet
been re-established and the rumor cannot
be confirmed 1t Is said some of them were
badly mangled.
The rescuers are having great difficulty In
persuading the people to leave their flooded
homes. The second floors of many flooded
houses are occupied, the tenants declaring
they will not leave, but will remain to pro-
tect their belongings. The buildings are with
out fire, and their tenants are suffering from
the cold, yet when rescue boat approaches
the rescuers are turned away after leaving
food. In extreme cases the rescuers have
used force in taking them out and placing
them where they will be cared for.
1t is thought by conservative. people that
the loss of life will reach 100 The property
loss. to say nothing of the damage to the
levee and crops, will reach over $500, 900.
Property in two blocks on both sides of Mill
street is utterly ruined, and the damage to
goods is enormous.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 5.-A tele-
gram from Nanaimo, B. c., says: Jack
Carr United States mail carrier, a,
| rived there tonight from ST. Michael's,
Alaska, via Dawson City. Carr claims
to have a message from Andree, one of
his carrier pigeons having been picked
| up.
1t is said that the message says that
Andree is alive and on land. Carr will
not give out the message for publica-
ton. Several parties at Nanaimo claim
to have seen the message and they say
1t is to all appearances authentic Full
credence Is not given to the report here
Ex-Mayor W. D. Wood, who arrived
from Dawson a few days ago. states
that he saw Carr at Dawson. Carr
said nothing about Andree to him.
From other sources Mr.. Wood heard
some reference to Andree, but consid-
cred them without foundation. Carr
left ST. Michael's last Thanksgiving.
VICTORIA, B. C.,SApril 5.-The news
Of the arrival Of Jack Carr with news
from Balloonist Andree, was telegraph
ed from Departure Bay upon the ar
rival of the steamer upon which Carr
Travelled from st. MichaePs No details
were given beyond the fact that Carr
had such advices, and nothing further

onaut on his voyage to the north pole,

capacity of the balloon, was interview
| ed by the Associated Press this after
noon regarding the bulletin from Vic

while can scarcely believe the re-
| port to be true-it seems too good to
| be true-yet realize that it is not i'm
| possible that Andree may have arrived
| in Alaska, for to accomplish that feat
was his most ardent desire. Lax ~ -
THAT he could have done so by this
time provided his balloon carried him

on the sea ice north OF Alaska, Is prov
ed by the same arrival of a captain OF
one of the whaling vessels fast in the
ice off the north coast Of Alaska, after
| six months journey southwark.
| "Andree may have arrived at some
| point in the Tchookchee peninsula, off
| Northeastern Siberia, last autumn, as
Baron Nordenskiold believed he would
and as Andree himself thought he
might, and thence made his way across
Boring strait to Alaska.
Personally I have held that Andree
would most likely be heard from in
Franz Josef Land, and had about COM
pleted arrangements 70 assist in the
search for him in that land, my plans
being to start next month. I received
a letter this morning from Capt. Ernst

POPE's OFFER DECLINED.
President Mckinley Unable to Per-
NIT Leo to Intervene.

LONDON, April ga special dis
patch says a telegram received at the
Vatican from the United States has an
nounced the failure of the pope's in
tervention. 1t says that President Nc
Kinley showed himself extremely SEN
sitive of the initiative taken by the
pontiff, but it was impossible for him
to overcome the prejudice, even though
unjust, entertained by a majority Of
the American people against the Vati-
cans intervention in political affairs.
The special dispatch from Rome says
the message from the United States to
the pope, which is alleged to have been
sent by President Mckinley. added that
he was opposed to war now, as in
the past, and would still do all possible
to avoid having recourse to such a
lamentable expedient," which he con-
sidered to be unworthy of civilized
countries" but he could not do so
against the sentiment Of the nation,

Cuba, and a cessation Of horrors, which
