There has been some talk of there be-
ing political capital in the result of the
conference. l do not know that the re-
suit of the conference could be construed
to have any political bearing. The ques-
ton or business trusts and corporations
Is not political question. There are
probably just as many democratic stock
holders in these various combinations as
republican. They have entered in these
various combinations with the belief that
they are advantageous in the way of
cheapening production and doing away
with the excessive competition which in
periods of depression is often-times fatal
to all parties to the competition.

big planters have been able to do only
little toward the rehabilitation of
their properties. They have as yet
been unable to obtain money with
which to resume operations. Money
will not be forthcoming until the po-
litical conditions are settled. The sugar
and tobacco growers favor annexation
as business measure. Free trade with
the United States would serve as well.
Anyone who denounces the Cubans
as a dirty. lazy, worthless people is
guilty of SANDER. Anyone who asserts
that the Cuban will not work speaks
without knowledge of the subject. Gu

New York, Sept ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: Until a
report is made on the matter by Com
mander Hemphill of the Detroit showing
the need of another ship the state de-
partment will not ask the navy depart

Ian waters. 1t is said by naval officials
that the Detroit will surely arrive at
La Guayara by tomorrow or Tuesday.
The dispatch announcing that the insur-
rectionary forces had reached Maracay
has for the first time caused administra-
ton officials to doubt the ability Of the
Venezuelan government to suppress the
Instruction. Maracay Is near Valencia
and on the road connecting that city with
Caracas. The capital has no defenses and

ward that point with view of investing

San Francisco, Sept 1S.-The steam
er Coptic from Oriental points via Hon.
olulu brings the following advices from
the latter port under date of Sept. IL:
Naval Commander Merry, who has
been stationed here for the past three
months and who has given much
thought to the subject of port facilities,
has evolved a plan by which he hopes
to have the deep water area of the har-
Dor doubled. He is of the opinion that
the work of charging the harbor
would pay for itself in the value of re-
claimed marsh lands, of which there
are several hundred acres
Colonel Ruhlen has received instruc-
tions from Washington ordering him to
condemn for military purposes the
crown lands of Kahauik, and of Leil-
hua, containing respectively 1,340 and

A TERRIBLE ORUBB|NG
Tommy Ryan Whipped the Har-
lem Coffee Cooler.
LEFT PLAYED A TATTOO
Ryan's Fast Work Was Too Much for
the Negro-Both OF the Men
Were in Splendid
Condition.

New York, Sept. 1s.-Tommy Ryan,
the Syracuse middleweight pugilist,
gave Frank Craig. the Harlem Coffee
Cooler" a terrible drubbing before
1000 persons at the Coney Island Sport
ing club tonight. Both men were in
splendid condition and each, when he
weighed in two hours previously, was
under 1853 pounds.
Ryan's fast work in the fourth round
told on Craig and two heavy rights
over the heart at the opening of the
fifth round did not improve his condi
ton. Ryan's left played a tattoo on
Craig's face and the colored man be-
gan splitting blood
In the sixth Ryan sent his right un
der the jaw and uppercut him with
his left on the face. This brought
more blood from Craig's mouth, and
two jabs made him wild.
During the next two rounds Ryan
kept the negro busy trying to protect
himself. "A
Round 9-Ryan sent right and left
three times on the head. Then he sent
Craig to the floor with a right swing.
Craig remained down about eight sec
onds and then dropped three times on
one knee to escape punishment.
Round 10-Ryan lost no time in GO
ing for his man. He rushed him and
sent both hands to the head and body.
Craig landed two wild swings on
Ryan's head and shoulders, but Ryan
kept punching him all over the ring
Craig staggered about biindly. Tom
my landed a right on the side of
Craig's head, the Cooler falling in a
heap. He got up on the 10th second
and Ryan rushed at him again, but
referee Siler, seeing that Craig was un-
able to defend himself. stepped between
the men and declared Ryan the win
ner. Time of last round, minutes and
30 seconds.

OUR BEARDED
LADY.

Designing men, through alluring and cun
ningly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick
and ailing women by inviting them "towrite
to a UoWan u and secure a aoonaan's syfu-
pathy." 1t is well to remember that the
best sympathy is to had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles
distant The object of the sick is to get we'll.
and however precious sympathy may be, it
never yet cured seriously afflicted woman.
While the sympathy of your milliner or
dressmaker might be appreciated and be
Just as beneficial, If not more so, than SYM
pathy from stranger, yet 1t can not effect
your cure If you are an ailing woman.
1t is loudly proclaimed through the press
that woman can best understand
woman's ailments, and on this ground sick
women are invited to write to a woman"
and get the benefit of woman's advice
The sort of understanding of her ailments"
wanted by sick woman is trained medi-
cal understanding. If q woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman's ailments NOT as a Doman, but as a
physician. If she Is not doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully because she lacks
the necessary training.
As far as known, there Is no regularly
qualified woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de-
signed for women-no one, therefore quail
fed by learning and experience, to advise
on questions of disease and its cure.
1t is certain that there Is no one, man or
woman, connected with any put up"
medicine for women, excepting only Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, who, Ike
DR.. Pierce, is a regular graduated and uuali-
fed physician, and who has, like him, de-
voted more than thirty years to the special
study and treatment of diseases of women.
For more than thirty years DR.. r. v.
Pierce, a regularly graduated doctor, has
been chief consulting physician of the

San Francisco. Sept 1s.-The associ-
ated press correspondent at Yokohama
sends the following news under the
oate OF Sept. 2: The recent disturb
ance in China in which much japanese
property was destroyed and the chan
cellor of the consulate seriously wound
ed is exciting much interest in the ma
tive press, which clamors for Japan to
seize the opportunity to initiate Eu-
ropean powers and to take a firm
stand, in order to keep her influence
from sinking into insignificance. 1t is
suggested that the customary demand
for railway concessions be made that

sian aggression, as soon as the great
Siberian railway shall be completed,

cumulative evidence that things are
not going well with the Russians. Ru-
mors are rife of a fiasco approaching
the proportions of the Panama scandal

portation of a large army. In connec-
ton with these demands the secret
mission of the Japanese admiral is to
give assistance to China. Great care,
however, is to be taken, so goes the
story, to avoid any clashing with Brit
ish interests in the valley.
Corea has at last written constitu-
ton. 1t has nine articles, all dwelling
upon the powers and prerogatives of
the emperor and containing no men,
ton whatever of any rights or privi-
lege belonging to any other person.
The general typhoon which has been
prevailing over southern Japan for the
past few days has been of appalling de-
structiveness. Reports coming in from
the various procedures number the
deaths by hundreds and demolition of
houses by the thousands, and the end

Wiling To Labor, but Can Get Nothing
to Do.
New York, Sept. 1S.-William Willis
Howard, general manager of the Gu
ban Industrial Relief fund and who
Cuba is in a pitiful state. Instead
of a rainy season, Cuba has had q
drought. Not since 1874 has there been
such long continued dry weather during
the summer The result has been dis
astrous. The United States weather
bureau reports that all small crops have
been ruined. Sugar cane has been so
damaged that the crop next year will
be less than the crop ground this year
The most distressing feature of the
drought Is the destruction of the corn
crop. Even under favorable circum-
stances the corn crop would have been
small, for 1t was planted in driblets,
here and there. The weather bureau
reports now that the corn crop will
yield not more than 10 per cent. On
our relief farms we have better corn
than any / have seen in Cuba, due no
doubt TO the fact that we put more la
Dor on the growing crop than anyone
elFe was able to do. Business in the
cities is desperately duh. The hotels
are empty, restaurants are lifeless
Large business concerns are scraping
along as best they may in the hope that
the future of the island may be def
nitsly settled. In the country the des-
olation wrought by war and Weyler
stu continues without abatement. The

Denver. Colo. Sept. 1S.-Gus Rubin
defeated Jack Stelzner in a contest to-
night before the Olympic Athletic club,
the decision being given in his favor in
the seventh round. Stelzner, though
game, was clearly too weak to last
much longer and Referee Mastersons
decision was applauded by the crowd.
Rubin gained a decided advantage
at the outset and had his own way
most of the time afterward, but at that
could not knock out Stelzner In the
beginning Rubin rushed at Steiner
knocking him down with a stiff left
Jack was up again in few seconds
and Rubin with another rush fioored
him again. Stelzner remained down
eight seconds and by clever ducking
saved himself from further punishment.
After this the fight was one-sided.
In the fourth round Rubin hit Stelzner
IA times on the face and jaw
In the fifth Stelzner went down from
right upper cut and was saved by
the bell.
After Rubin had f1oored Steiner
twice in the seventh, the fight was
stopped and the decision given to Rub

Walden, private in Company e, 35th
infantry who committed suicide by TAX

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-The difficulties be-

mittee of arrangements of the Chicago
fall festival reached a climax to-day
when instructions were issued from
festival headquarters suspending all
preparations for the celebration until
the difficulties with organized labor
are definitely settled. A letter was

Gus committees advising to stop the
further payment of funds until 1t is
definitely known whether the labor
unions will carry out their announced
intention of declaring a strike on the
federal building and on the festival
arches and other preparatory work UNI
less the corner stone to be used in the
federal building is discarded and one
cut by union labor substituted.

No Truth In 1t.

New York, Sept ls.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Informal
ton received a. the state department
shows that there is no truth in the re-
ports of an alliance of the South and
Central American republics against the
United States, Instead the authorities
understand that the desire among the
pan-American governments Is, if possible
to make closer the friendliness existing
between themselves and the great repub-
lie of the North. 1t is no secret that
some time ago the representatives of the
republics of Brazil and Argentine held a
conference upon an appeal to other pan
American countries for the holding Of a
second pan-American congress, the object
of which was to make closer their rela-
lions with this government. Unfortunate
ly internal dissensions in Brazil prevent
ell the adoption of the suggestion.
