function by Mr.. Adee was in progress
Secretary Day relieved the situation by
making his statement as follows:
1--WE have agreed upon procoool en-
bodying proposed terms for the negotia-
tion OF treaty of peace, including the
evacuation of Cuba and Porto hlco ana &c
1t is expected that this protocol will be
executed"
This was the first admission that the
two governments at last had practically
come together ON the basis of peace. Ii
was 1ntiinated that what remained to be
accomplished was purely formal IN
character and no doubt was entertained
tached In due time. What that due time
was was not explained, but it was fully
understood that it meant only such delay
as would be required for the careful
preparation of the documents to be signed

The Debate on Civil Service WIN Oc-
cupy Much Time.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The time of
the house this week, after it meets on
Wednesday, will probably be entirely
devoted to the debate on the civil ser.
vice question By general consent the
appropriation in the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial bill for the mainten-
ance of the commission, upon which
the debate will be based, went over
until after the holidays. 1t is intended
by the opponents of the civil service
law that the debate shall cover the
whole question, and they expect to de.
velop and exploit some very interesting
facts. The defenders of the law have
made elaborate preparations to meet
these assaults and some highly in or
esting il not sensational incidents are
anticipated. The records of individ.
uals are likely to be very much in evi.
dence. 1t is not expected that the de.
bate will conclude this week, as Satur.
day has been set aside for paying tribute
to the memory of the late Representa-
tive Wright of Massachusetts,.
General Grosvenor of Ohio, who has
been one of the mainstays of the oppo.
slllOu W tuo law ID very u0slrOuS OF
participating in the debate, but owing
to the senatorial fight now in progress
in Ohio he will probably not be able to
return until next week. 1t is not be.
ieved that there will be any attempt to
close the debate before he has had an
opportunity to make the elaborate
speech which he has prepared. No one
seriously believes, however, that the
upshOt of the present debata will he
the striking out of the appropriation
for the commission. This proposition
cannot by any means command the full
strength of the opposition, the leaders
of which think direct legislation should
be enacted to repeal or really amend
the law. The debate, therefore, will
simply be in the nature of a general
airing OF the views of the members of
the house, the only practical effect of
which will be to place them on record
for the future.

, DEFIANT JOHN P.
A Pen Picture Of How the Stark
County Fighter Looked When
the Battle Was On.

The Cleveland Leader staff oorrespon.
dent, who ATTENDED the organization of the
house Of representatives at Columbus
yesterday, in describing the turbulent
scene, throws the following pen bouquet
at the Honorable John p. Jones:
"Bramley and Jones were intrusted
with the initiative in most cases. Jones
seems to be, in some respects, the most
prominent man in the house. 1t Is evil
dent that he thinks he Is. He is big,
tall, broad. .shouldered mau Of thirty five
years, with heavy head of hair, n
roughly-cut face, and the jaw Of fighter.
He used to be coal miner. He had
evidently imposed upon himself the duty
of seeing that everything moved Off
smoothly, for he stood in the aisle, his
hands in his pockets or his thumbs in
the armholes Of his vest, his feet planted
far apart, his chest thrust forth, and his
face set toward the new, youthful-look-
ing speaker with an expression which
said: You're all right kid. II you
want any help, call on me. Put 'er
through" Once when the cheering and
kissing in the galleries and lobby be-
came so loud as to interfere With the pro-
ceedings, Speaker Mason threatened to
expel the spectators. That pleased
Jones, and he nodded his head and ex-
claimed: "well done, Hankt' 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Jones won't take
offense because of this publication, for 1t
is very plain that he would be bad
man in rough and tumble fight"

day afternoon was an able one. 1t
covered every material proposition and

copies of it, as the law, and all Of the

ferly way reviewed the claims set up by
the state and by the defense, and review
ed what ibwould be necessary for the
state TO prove and what for the defense.
Taking up the first degree, the court
said:
Murder in the first degree is the killing
of ano tier unlawfully, purposely, and of
deliberate, premeditated malice. To
constitute this degree of crime there must

According to a celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 100000 little
glands in the human stomach. These
glands pour out the digestive juices
which dissolve the food. Indigestion is
want of juice, weakness OF glands, need
of help to restore the health of these or.
gans. The best and most natural hel lp is
that given by Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Natural, because it supplies the materials
needed by the glands to prepare the di-
gestive juices. Because it strengthens
and invigorates the glands and the
stomach, until they are able to do their
work alone. Shaker digestive cordial
cures indigestion certainly and perman-
emily, 1t does so by natural means, and
therein lies the secret of its wonderful
and UNMARRIED success.

per bottle.

WHERE WAS SNYDER?
His Name Doesn't Appear in the Press
Reports and He Didn't Make
Speech.

Poor Mr.. Snyder, who is said to be one
of the representatives in the Ohio general
assembly from Stark county, was not
heard from at Columbus yesterday. He
may have been there-nobody knows.
A careful perusal of all the press reports
fails to disclose his name. Perhaps he
was so completely outshone that his little
flckering light was not observed. How
ever, Stark county was represented, and
as one vote counted two yesterday, one
Mr. Jones represented both the east and
the west jurisdictions. Press reports
fail to divulge speech by Mr.. Snyder,
but Mr.. Jones made a speech, and 1t was
a corker.

Those Dreadful Sores

Healed "A Wondorfui Work.
"For many years i have been great
sufferer with varicose veins on one OF my
limbs. My foot and limb became dread
fully swollen. When stood up could
feel the blood rushing down the veins OF
this limb. one day accidentally hit my
foot against some object and core broke
out which continued to spread and was
exceedingly painful. I concluded I
needed blood purifier and began taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla. In q short time
those dreadful sores which had caused
me so much suffering, began TO heal. I
kept on faithfully with Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and in short time my limb was
completely healed and the sores gave me
no more pain. I cannot be too thankful
for the wonderful work Hoods sarsapa-
