THE PEACE TREATY.

Especial Dispatch TO The Post.)
Washington, January Ex-senator Davis,
chairman OF the committee on foreign re-
lationB. was asked today to express his
opinion as to whether or not vote will
be taken on the ratification Of the Spanish
treaty before the 4th OF March. The SEN
ator replied: There is. In my opinion. no
doubt whatever that vote will be reached
before the 4th OF March. In fact. am
confident that vote will be taken within
thirty days"
"One of the New York papers publishes
statement. senator to the effect that a
poll shows that forty-eight senators favor
the treaty and forty-one are opposed to It..
What Is your idea as TO that poll?"
II do not think that any poll has been
taken or attempted by any one competent
to do 10. ! do not believe that senator's as
a rule have expressed their intention With
regard TO the treaty for publication MY
opinion is, however, that the statement
published some time ago. in which 1t was
asserted that a safe two thirds OF the sem
ate favors ratification. Is more liable TO be
accurate than the abatement to the effect
that only bare majority will so vote."

Washington, January "a great deal
Of reticcnce IL exhibited at tho war de-
/ partmcnt relative to the state OF affairs
Otis has reported to the department tho
facts that were reported to him In turn
| by General Miller but all that can be
gathered az to the nature OF the communi-
cation is that II goes to confirm the press
reports as to the attitude OF the insur-
gents.
| There are excellent reasons why tho
officials ut the war department should at
this stage maintain secrecy as to the In
lstructions governing the movement of
troops In the Philippines, The situation
lis admitted to be critical but not hopeless
by any means, and II is extremely desir-
able that the danger OF rupture shall not
be increased by inilammatory publications
which powerfully affect the excitable Phil
ipinos. 1t is believed that General Otis
is framing a plan Of campaign which Will
result in the extension OF his control over
the island of Panay at least without actual
hostilities, or II It must come to warfare,
then the least possible exposure OF tho
American troops.
Probably tho frst step In this campaign
has been taken by this time In the es-
tallishn emit OF a camp on the island
Of Gua,naras, lying only few miles
from 1Ioilo and easily accessible to the
warships. This probably will be made
tho base of operations II hostilities become
unavoidable. The government, however.
has not abandoned hope that n peaceful
solution can be reached. .
The governments instructions sent to
General Miller at IloiIo were to land
and get In communication with the In
surgents. This Is as far az his orders
have gone except that when he has ostab-
lished communication with the insnrgent
officials and people he ia to mako public

shot Is to be fired by the forces OF this
country unless they are attacked or until
further orders are given from here This
programme was agreed upon between
President Mckinley and Secretary Alger

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.

The food of plants found in the soil,
consists of several elements. In new soil
lust brought under cultivation, these ele-
ments may be found in sufficient quantity
for plant growth. On the rich bottom
lands and on many of the prairies Of the
Western states they are so found. but
here in New England on our thin, poor
soils. these elements are deficient and
must he literally supplied to insure fair
returns. AS the country grows older, and
the soil becomes depleted, the manure
produced on the farm is not sufficient to
maintain its fertility, and the deficiency
is usually supplied in the form OF com
mercial fertilizers.
The food elements soonest exhausted by
constant cropping are nitrogen, potash
and phosphorio acid and these three ele-
ments are what the various brands o.
commercial fertilizers are advertised to
contain. Different soils vary in their
composition. Some soil, like sandy soil,
may be deficient in all three of these ele-
ments. while muckey soil usually contains
sufficient nitrogen, and clayey soil, suffi-
cienr potash. Different methods OF farm
ing, or cropping, may leave the soil deli
oient In one, or perhaps two of these ele
ments, while the third may remain in
sufficient quantity for plant growth. Now
the farmer usually buys his fertilizer
without much regard to its analysis, and
wholly ignorant of the wants of his soil
If his soil is not deficient In potash, 1t Is
an unnecessary expense for him to buy
potash. A nd so with phosphoric acid or

It Will Tone You Up, so that DAN

The Grip is again prevalent. There Is
no disease known to science that more
uuickly reduces the patients strength
than this same mysterious grip. Every
organ of the body is quickly incapaci-
lated. Great lassitude ensues. The suffer-
ing from this extreme debility is most
distressing.
Worst of all, the system is in a condi-
tiou where 1t is ready TO receive the
germs Of any other disease. Pneumonia
ia the most to be feared malady, and
when 1t makes its appearance after the
grip, the results are almost always disas-
trous.
We know that vinol, Wine of God Liv-
Or OIL, as a tonic, will not only maintain
the strength of the sufferer during the at
Jack of the grip, SO that it will pass of
much more quickly, but 1t will hasten
recovery and prevent danger of future
troubles.
Mrs. John German, of 143 Franklin
street, Meriden, Conn. :, says; 1.-The grip
left my little boy, Arthur, in very
much weakened condition. We tried old
fashioned cod liver OIL 1t made him
sick, and upset his stomach. We then
gave him Vinol. 1 only wish every one
who has suffered from the grip could see
the change in my boy, and could see him
eat since he has been taking Vinol."
Come and ser us, and we will prove to
you in a minute that Vinol is most de-
ncious to the taste. You will be running
no risk in buying of us, for if it does not
satisfy you in every particular, we will
refund you your money.
