When a mans stomach is weak and his digestion is impaired, the giving elements of the food he takes are not assimilated into tue blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and the body slowly starves. In the meantime the disordered liver and the sluggish bow els have forced into the blood all manner of impurities The body is hungry and eagerly consumes anything that the blood stream carries to it. Ill place of healthy nutriment, 1t receives for food foul poisons that should have been excreted by the bowels. Continued, this system of starva- ton combined with poisoning, will wreck every organ in the body. Naturally the weakest organ will give way first If a man IS naturally nervous, he will break down with nervous exhaustion or prostra- ton. If he inherits weak lungs the con. sequence will be consumption, bronchitis asthma, or some disease of the air-passages. If he has a naturally sluggish liver, he will suffer from a serious bilious or malarial at. tack.

GOV. TAYLOR TALKS.
HIS VIEWS ON SPAIN AND SAM
 JONES.
Thinks the United States Would Make Short Work of
 Spain.

Gov. Robert L. Taylor is in the city, says Thursdays Commercial Appeal. He arrived yesterday morn ing from Nashville, and was accom- panied by Col. Juhn T. Essary, com missioner of agriculture. They will leave at noon today. During their Memphis visit they have received roy al entertainment at the hands of friends in this section Of the State All day yesterday the rooms of the visitors at the Peabody were the scene of public reception, and with his characteristic good nature, Gov Taylor received all the gentlemen and ladies who came to shake the hand of a governor of State.
 Yesterday morning, as an invita- tion to the festivities of the day, Coy. Taylor and James Whitcomb Riley were introduced to each other, and they proceeded to entertain a crowd with jokes and good fellow ship for a long while. Joke after joke was passed around, and the re- suit was that the Hoosier poet asked that Tennessee's own Bob call on him during the afternoon.
 "How are you and Sam Jones get ting along?" asked the reporter.
 ''I don't know how Sam is getting along, but I am all right. He said some time ago that if I had as much in my head as I have in my heart, I'd made a better governor. Well, if Sam had as much in his heart as he has in his head, he'd make better preacher"
 What do you think about the prospect for war, Coy. TayIor?" continued the reporter.
 "I'm gettin' mighty mad. Yes. we are going to have war, but it is i'm possible to tell what are the powers behind Spain. She seems to be act ing the fool. but the situation re- minds me of q story heard once. A small man yelled to a crowd with a threat in his voice, Who hit Billey Patterson?" A great big strapping fellow stepped forward and said: I did; what are you going to do about it?' Nothing, replied the other fel- low, except that want to say you struck a durned good blow But in case of war we can almost perform miracles, our resources are so great. While Spain may concentrate upon us and send little wriggles to thrill us up and down our backbone now, it won't be long before American valor and prowess will rise and blow her out of the seas. There is 8 senti- ment in this coming war, and it will be a matter worthy the applause of the world to see a son of Ulysses Grant fighting on the staff of a Fitz- hugh Lee-the South heart to heart with the North, and when the Blue and the Gray march shoulder to shoulder the fur will fly and the earth will tremble. With twelve months preparation we can whip the world on the seas, and in ten days we can whip the world on the land. So far as an Anglo-American alliance is con cerned, 1 have only to say that our interests are iden tical, but that l don't know anything about present secret negotiations"

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Although five months have passed of the twelve allowed the Gen. tral and Western Pacific Railroad com- panies by Congress to settle their in debtedness to the Government no defi- mite proposition has been received from the companies. Until such a proposi- ton is received or the time limit ex- pires nothing can be done by the ad- minstration; but it is proposed by the Attorney General immediately upon the expiration of the period allowed to foreclose all liens now held by the United States against the companies and to collect the indebtedness.
 In view, however, of the advantage to the companies of submitting satis- factory propositions it is believed fore closure proceedings will not be neces- sary. Attorney General Griggs began last spring the preparation Of papers to foreclose the Governments lien. Be- fore they were completed Congress created the Secretaries of the Treasury and the Interior and the Attorney General a commission with full power to settle the indebtedness to the Gov ernment of the Central Pacific and Western Pacific companies.
 The principal of the Central Paclnc debt amounts to $25. 1885, 12O and the 1n- terest to $36, ,636, 163 9S, making total of $62, ,521, ,2S3 98.

TREATY MAY THEN BE RATI-
 FEED BY CONGRESS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 11.-It Is re- ported in official circles here to-day that the Anglo-American joint high commission having under consideration the questions in dispute between Can ada and the United States will adjourn on Thursday next. to resume its, sit tings next March after the expiration of the present Congress, when special session of the United States Congress, then under Republican control, will be called to ratify treaty.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. u.-It has been agreed by the high joint commissions of Americans and Canadians, which has been in session here several weeks, to adjourn at an early date. This has not yet been formally announced. but it is understood that the day fixed fer ad- journment Is December 20. On the evening of December 19 the Canadians will give banquet to which the Amer jeans will be invited.
 The understanding is that the ses- sions will not be resumed until after March next, when the American Com missioners, who are members of the House and Senate, will have leisure to devote to the negotiations. Whether
 
 where they were begun, CT in this city has not been stated.
 The decision to adjourn has grown out of the developments of the past week While there are several proto- co.'s in the proposed treaty, notably the Boring Sea, the North Atlantic fisher ies, reciprocity and questions affecting the great lakes, reciprocity is the one great subject in which the Canadians ix,kA fAl o~% trrh Commissioners came nearer than they have ever been before to the discussion of that subject. The Canadians had submitted proposals, and on Wednes- day the Americans submitted counter proposals. These counter proposals showed that the Americans were dis posed to be very unyielding, and that much smaller concessions would really be made than had been expected. The negotiations of last week also con vinced the Canadians that free lumber, consummation they and all their peo- pie have devoutly wished fer. was inn possible. The American Commission CTS not only told the Canadians so, but the latter were invited to the Capitol, and while there met several prominent members of the House and Senate. who upon them. It Is said that the Amer jeans have agreed to small reduction of the duty on live animals and have intimated that they may agree to a small reduction in the duty on lumber now sS2 per thousand. The Canadians had hoped for much larger concessions
 This condition of things and the ap- parent impossibility of reaching ar agreement before Christmas are said te have led to the decision for an adjourn l ment. The Senate may be called in ses. sion after March to transact business when there would be ample time tc present any treaty that may have beer l framed with Canada. At present the outlook for an agreement is not bright

WILL NOT PROSECUTE
 YERKES FOR LIBEL
Chicago Editors Say the Charge of Blackmail Is Not
 Worthy of Notice.

CHICAGO, Dec. Ii. - Joseph Me dill, publisher of the Tribune. was asked to make & denial Of the charges made against Chicago publishers by Charles T. Yerkes in an interview with 9. representative of The Call. He said:
 "Deny the charges made by Yerkes? Of course won't. Why should I deny anything Mr. Yerkes chooses to say? No denial is necessary. I am an old man, and have for fifty years been identified with journalism. If in that time I have not acquired reputation for honesty a denial now would avail nothing I am not fighting Yerkes. As citizen of Chicago I am working for the interests of the city and it's resi- dents. I am opposed to granting to traction companies an extension of franchises for fifty years. I am op- posed to giving street railroads priv ileges without adequate compensation to the city, and I am opposed to the Allen law. I am in this fight to prevent great wrong, not to injure MT. Yerkes, and I will remain and continue to work for the defeat of the extension ordinance to the last. Every newspa- per in Chicago except the Inter Ocean, which is the property of MT. Yerkes, and is edited to suit him, is opposed to the franchise extension ordinance. These newspapers simply represent the people They have no personal feeling against MT. Yerkes. Perhaps Mir. Yerkes believes he can divert the press from it's fight on his plans, but he is mistaken. If he thinks he can further the interests of his corporations by at- tacking the proprietors of the newspa- pers he is at liberty to take that course. do not care what he says. His charges are ridiculous. He may say I am a thief: that does not make it so. He may say I am just out of the peniten- tiary, and then only on parole. He may say I murdered my great-grand- mother or his great-grandmother and he saw me do it, but the public won't believe him, will 1t?
 What good would it do me to take action against MT. Yerkes? Shall I sue him for libel? I may go into the courts and secure a heavy Judgment against him, but that would not prove anything, and don't want and don't need MT. Yerkes' money. Suppose were young man like you and went to his office and secured personal satisfac- tion by blacking his eyes and breaking
