THE CZAR'S PLANS
Are Diplomatically Agreed to by the
italian Government

ROME, Sept. 26.-The government has
sent to Russia diplomatically worded ac-
ceptance CT the cars Invitation to take
part n an international peace confere nee.
In it's note Of acceptance the government t
expresses sympathy with and admiration
fer the objects of the czar, but says It
fears that difficulties VIII arse over the
discussion of questions other than that OF
armament which might accentuate in the
very heart Of the projected conference a
conflict Of opinions, the consequence of
which would not leave US without anx-

The government suggests that the czar
eliminate this possibility by formula ting a

CHOICE OF ROOSEVELT
CONSIDERED CERTAIN BY PARTY
LEADERS
A CAUTIOUS PROGRAM MADE
Every Reason to Suppose That It Will
Be Carried Out With Great
Harmony
Associated Press Special Wire.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 26.-There is
hardly an impartial observer here tonight
who does not believe that the ticket to be
nominated by the Republican state con-
yent.on tomorrow will be headed by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt tor governor and Tim
othy l.. Woodruff for lieutenant governor.
Chaunoey NJ. Depew. who is to name MT
Roosevelt, arrived here during the after
noon and is positive that his candidate has
an almost clear field. 1t was pretty well
decided last night that Governor Black
Will not go into the convention. His fr.en is
are urging him to do so, but up to this
time he has stoutly maintained that 1t
would not be d.gn.tied.
One Of the first callers on the governor
today was Frank Platt, and following a
pleasant conversation with him, the gov
ernor cordially received Mr.. Depew. Sena-
tor Ellsworth and several others Of the
Plstt forces. Later Mr.. Platt, Mr.. Payne
and Governor Black met and had very
pleasant conversation, and there IS every
indica ton that the convention tomorrow
Will be harmonious. The fact that the plat
form will indorse Governor Blacks admin
istration is indicative Of good feeling.
The leaders of Ihe party today put the
finishing touches on the platform and that
document Is ready to be reported to the
convention tomorrow afternoon. 1t Will
be one of the briefest platforms ever
adopted by a state convention. comprising
not more than 1000 words.
The document will net be made public
until 1t is reported to the convention, but
the Associated Press is able to give a
synopsis Of its principal planks.
The platform Will endorse the admins
tration Of Governor Black and will review
the proceedings of the last session Of the
Republican legislatures; but beyond that
the platform will not deal with state IS
sues, but Will chiefly touch on questions Of
national scope, including an unqualified
and vigorous endorsement Of President
McKinleys mn!stration.
One of the most important planks will
declare in favor of the retention of the
Philippines and against the return to
Spain of any conquered lands. Another
plank will recommend the passage of a
currency bill which shall reorganize the
government paper money on the basis of
the gold standard.

The Republican state committee met to-
night and arranged details for temporary

New York Democrats
SYRACUSE, N. Y. Sept. 26-Many of
the $50 delegates to the Democratic state
convention on Wednesday are here to-
night. Each candidate for place upon
the state ticket is we'll represented.
David B. Hill arrived at o'clock tonight
and spent the evening in conference with
political friends.
The Chicago platform Democrats will
hold their conference at the city hall to-
MORO wright and will make determir ed
effort to have the convention indorse abso-
lutely the last national Democratic con-
vention platform and especially as 1t re-
lates to the free coinage of silver. It Is
doubtful, however. IL the state platform
will come out uneQuivocally for that
plank.

BOOMToWN CITY LOTS

The New England Loan and Trust
Company Goes Into Hands Of a
Receiver

KANSAS CITY. Sept. 26.-It was an
nounced this forenoon that Otto Bannart
of New York. Treasurer of the Continental
Trust Company Of that city, had been ap-
pointed receiver for the New England Loan
and Trust Company, with headquarters in
this city.
The company dealt in city and farm mort
cages In the West. Its capitalization was
s2S5,0O0 and its last printed statement
showed a surplus of 100000.
The company Is said to hold, IS, 900 900 in
such ventures, 5000, 900 in loans and to have
s175.0O0 cash on hand. The receivershlp is
said to have been forced by the company's
inability to close on loans made in 1888 and
1889 on Western boom town property, most
of which is,<aid to have been in Omaha
and which has proven a loss. The firm also
carried heavy loans on Western farm prop
erty, and although this Is said to have
proven profitable. the losses on city prop
erty are said to have dragged the assets
to a depth where a receivership became
necessary. ]. 8. Gilbert, secretary and as
sistant manager, has had charge of the
local headquarters Of the company for sew
eral years.
The company is composed mostly Of New
York, Philadelphia and Des Moines men.

Des Moines. though the main office Is In
New York City.
Besides the branch here there are branch

City. John c. Hall is the company's at
torney at Kansas City.
THE cause Of the failure" Id said to a
reporter. was our inability to keep up
losses on loans made on Western city prop
erty In 1888 and 1889. The company was
organized In 1876 and did profitable bus-
ness in farm loans till 1888, when 1t began
making loans on property in Western cities,
most disastrous among them being loans
on property in Omaha, Sioux City, Salt
Lake City and Ogden. When the boom
went to pieces, foreclosure became neces-
sary and we found ourselves so buried with
deprecated city property that 1t has taken
more than the profits on our farm loan bus
mess to keep up the interest, taxes and re-
pairs. II we had had another year or two
In which to catch up we could have pulled
through all right and we may yet If the Sc

HOW TO FIND OUT.

FIJI bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sed-
iment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate
or pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-R the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part Of the urinary passages. 1t corrects
ina ability to hold urine and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
OF liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity OF being com
PEELED to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for it's
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you should

'ditor of The americans:

To the Editor Of The american:
The many friends of Rev. James I.
Moore in Sullivan and vicinity were sur
prised at the sentiment expressed in the
last issue OF THE AMERICAN. 1t may be
the sentiment OF few, but it certainly
does not express the feeling OF the
majority of his practitioners.
Mr. Moore has been in charge OF this
parish for the past two years, during
which time he has worked hard and fsit h.
fully in the performance OF his duties.
He has taken an interest in all public
works, and especially in the schools
throughout the town, serving on the
school committee in addition to the pas
toral work. He has been untirng in his
visits to the sick, not merely offering
sympathy and assistance but actually
helping to care for many. We hope an
other year will find him still with us.
