merce on Their Markets.
Washington, March 7.-An example Of
European economic hostility to the Uni
ted States is furnished in report to
the state department by Consul Baehr,
from Kehl. Austria. The report reviews
a lecture Of DR.. Alexand Pecz, n Wen
nese authority on political economy. DIR.
Peez, in calling attention to American
commercial competition, assumes that
''the United States has taken Cuba and
intends to have the enormous quantity
of sugar it needs supplied by the home
product and that grown in Cuba" Fur
ther, he calls attention to the fact that
the United States makes the enlarge
ment Of it's balance of trade the funda-
mental principle of its commercial policy,
and in this its government acts with
great boldness." He says that America
already exports to Europe goods valued
at $1,000, 100000, against which they
import only about $G00,OOO,0O0. At this
rate, DIR. Peez says, they will be most
threatening factor in the commercial life
of Europe when in seven years, as he
their sugar production on a basis to rob
Europe of all its American sugar trade.
The lecturer cites numerous other in
stances Of American encrOachment III
paper. iron, cottonseed oil and leather,
concluding that the countries Of Europe
in the near future will have to form a
coalition to protect themselves against
outside competition"
Consul Baehr says that similar senti-
ments are frequently uttered by prOm-
nent men and officials of Austro-Hun-
gary and are published there by the
press, as well as in Germany.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called

Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
DYSPEPSIA and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is becoming rapidly used and pre-
scrlbed as radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been

MADRID DURING THE WAR.
Exciting Scenes Described by One
Who Witnessed Them.

Arthur Houghton recounts in the
March Century" some exciting scenes
that occurred in the Spanish capital
while the late war was in progress:
As long as the popular demonstra-
lions in the streets of the capital and
other great towns were limited to pa
triotic expressions of opinion, the Gov
eminent looked on, and did not care
to interfere actively. It dawned upon
the authorities at>last that these DEM
onstrations were being used by wire
pullers for other than patriotic pur-
poses.
But matters came to a climax when
the war actually broke out, and the
Government could no longer let the
capital of Spain be night after night
under mob law for hours, street traffic
suspended in the main arteries of COM
munication, shops and cafes hurriedly
closed for fear of disturbance, and the
alters nearly emtpy since the patriotic
n1obs had got into the habit of forcing
their way into them to insist upon the
bands playing the "Cadiz March, y
while all the audience stood and cheer
ed In self defense. The mobs grew
