DOESN'T APPROVE DEWEY.

New York, May ia somewhat
heated debate over national expansion
marked the second day of the annual ses-
sion of the Reformed Presbyterian Synod.
Rev. s. M. Killough of Madrid, N. Y,
In his report of the committee on signs of
the times, referred in glowing terms to
the recent war.
Elder William DEAFNESS Of Cincinnati
opposed the report saying: ANY man
who reads approvipgly of Dewey's doings
or those of mis- fleet should learn some
thing about the first principle OF
Christianity. Uniformed men are q dis
grace to any Christian country. and it Ia
a,ne we learn 10 oivilizs men without
killing them.
A long debate followed and Mr.. Dear.
ness moved that the reports be "purged
of all politics and paotry'' The reports
were accepted but the Secretaries were
authorized to stI Ike out anything not bear
ing on synod affairs.

PEACE CONFERENCE.
Delegates Have Begun TO Organize For
Business Before Them.

The Hague, May 19.-The chiefs Of the
different delegations to the peace confer
ence met today under the presidency Of
the president of the conference, M. De
Staal, the Russian ambassador to Great
Britain for the purpose of discussing the
business to be transacted tomorrow.
The meeting at which MIR. Andrew ID.
White, head Of the United States delega.
ion, and Sir Julian Paunnefote, head
of the British delegation, were present,
resulted in an agreement to appoint three
committees to deal with the respective
groups Of questions proposed for discus
sion, namely, disarmament laws Of war
fare, aud mediation and arbitration.
With view of facilitating the appoint.
Inent of the commitsee, Ii WINS agreed
that each. chief delegate should nominate
those Of his own delegation whom 1t
might be desired to appoint to the respec-
tive committees SO that each nation
should be represented upon all.
Probably the committees Will meet next
Tuesday or Wednesday to organize and
to arrange their procedure. The opinion
of a msjority Of the delegates seems to bs
that the general scheme to be presented
to the conference tomorrow has been
and the result of this mornings meeting
of the delegation chiefs is regarded as de-
mon strating the good win and concilia-
toriness OF all the delegates, as well as
common desire to facilitate the labors
of the conference. Perfect harmony has
prevailed. thus far regarding all questions
| brought forward.
| At tomorrow's session N. De Staal will
read the replies of Emperor Nicholas an
Queen Wilhelmina to the dispatches sent
their maiesties mt the opening of the con-
| ference after which he will deliver an i'm
portaDt speech upon the work of the con-
| ference and will propose the adoption of
| the general scheme arranged this morn
ing. +
The various delegations met this after
noon to assign their members to the
grand divisional committees
Iomorrows session and all subsequent
| sessions will be secret.
WILL BE FAILURE.
London, May 20.-The correspondent of
| the Morning Post at The Hague tele-
graphs as follows:
An eminent member of the peace con-
| ference says 1t is simply an act of polite
ness to the Gar and will yield no practi-
cal result. simply because 1t cannot. The
| powers, he asserts, are too disunited and
watch each other too closely to arrive at
any understanding in their progress. His
| prediction is that there will be a long
discussion and then first class burial
of the Cars proposals.

STOCK VALUES DECLINE.
Heavy Falls Compared With Yester-
davis CIOsinE Prices.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Chiehy in re-
sponse to the tendency of the London mar
ket. the local stock market opened at
severe declines in comparison with last
nights final figures. The we 4kness in the
London market for American stocks was
reported owing to the liquidation there of
heavy speculative account. At all events,
prices showed declines which. in some in
stances, extended to two points. particu-
larly in the foreign listed shares.
Contrary to expectations. The Bank of
England made no advance in its minimum
rate of discount. Foreign houses sold
heavily upon the opening Of business here
and the local sentiment seemed to be still
greatly confused as a result of yesterday S
extraordinary incidents
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was naturally
the centre of interest this morning and
the stock was heavily dealt in, but shoSei
a comparatively steady tone. There Was
nothing more definite than yesterdays S
rumors TO account for its course. Other
active features were the Pacific stocks
the granger shares, and New York Central,
the latter being particularly firm. Man.
haitian was active and feverish. and the
dealings throughout the market were
characterized by great irregularity.

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not q Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count Of what he considers remarkable
case of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He saws: THE patient was a man who
had suffered. to my knowledge. years with
dyspepsia Everything he ate seemed to
sour and create gases in the stomach. He
had pains like rheumatism in the back.
shoulder blades and limbs. fullness and
distress after eating, poor appetite and
loss of flesh: the. heart became affected,
causing palpitation and sieeplessness at
night.
Il gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an
experiment | finally bought 80 cent pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets at a
drug store and gave them to MIN. Almost
immediate relief was given and after he
had used four boxes he was to all appear
ances fully curHd.'
There was no more acidity or sour.
watery risings.. no bIoating after meals.
the appetite was vigorous and he fas
gained between 10 and IL pounds in weight
of solid. healthy flesh.-
Although Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores. yet l
consider them most valuable addition to
any physicians line of remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given
10 children or invalids or in any condition
of the stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest. most effective cure for indigestion,
biliousness. constipation. and all derange-
ments OF the stomach, however slight or
severe" "

The steady and strong advance has not

don is in need Of gold from this country,
and although the Bank of Eng.a discount
rate was not increased, as was generally ex-
pected this morning, it is certain tnat
large amounts of the precious metal Will
be sent this week. This fact, despite the
improved conditions financially on this
side, prevents many bullishiy inclined peo-
pie from venturing as yet on the long
side OF the market. II cannot be doubted.
moreover, that there is general fear Of
further British reyerses in South Africa.
and that the bears are aided in their eho-t
by these possibilities. Prices this morning
