Governor Powers and two members
of the cattle commission, Hon. John
NJ. Deering of SacO, ard F. s. Adams of
Bowdoin, had a consultation, Tuesday
morning, at which the commissioners
presented their new rules. The chief
of all these is said to be the one in ru-
gard to the shipment into this State Of
cattle other than for beef purposes.
The rule in this respect is more string
ent than formerly. 1t has been claim
ed that an inferior grad.pf cattle has
been dumped on the Maine market in
the past few years. The commissioners
said they should try and not let their
appropriation be overdrawn and the
Governor on his part said he should in
the future require a detailed report Of
their doings and an itemized accoun. Of
their expenditures, as required by the
statutes.

THE POWERS INTERESTED.

Curious to Know IL England Will Alb
sorb African Republics.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-It is reported that
Great Britain's immense military prep
arations against two Insignificant re-
publics are viewed with considerable
curiosity in some Of the European cap
itals, notably Paris and st. Petersburg.
Notes have been exchanged on the sub
ject and it is even limited in unofficial
quarters that inquiries will be adj
dressed to the British government as to
the contemplated absorption of the two
republics by the British empire. The
Press association announces with an air
of authority that the governments plan
is to terminate the war in the
Shortest Manner Possible,
and then to promulgate by an order Of
the queen in council a new constitution
for group Of five federal Cape
Colony, the Transvaal, Natal, the
Orange Free State and Rhodes1a-under
the title of the Dominion of South AT
RIGA, the crown to nominate governor
general and the five states having power
each to elect its own lieutenant COVER
nor and to have local legislatures with
dominion parliament to meet at Cape
Town. With some notifications this
scheme is based on the same lines as
that of the Canadian government.

RUSSIA WILL ARBITRATE.
Long Pending Dispute Over sealers Soon
to Be Settled.

Long Pending Dispute Over Sealers Soon
to Be Settled.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-Russia, it has been
learned, has at last agreed to arbitrate
with the United States the claim result
ing from the seizure of sealers in, the
Boring sea, which has been pending for
about eight years. A protocol between
the two governments his been drawn
up, the final formalities are expected to
be concluded next month and the arbi-
traitor will probably take the form of
the Venezuelan court.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The Russian
claims mentioned in the London dis
patch originated in the seizure by the
Russian authorities off the coast of ST.
IBERIA, of three American sealing vessels,
and the damages claimed aggregated
about $150,000. The vessels were the
James Hamilton Lewis. the Cape Horn
Pigeon and the G. II. White. In each
case the largest item of the claim is on
account of the sufferings of the Ameri-
can officers and crew while under ar.
rest. The cases differ from those claims
presented by British sealers, which were
settled by the Boring sea arbitration l.
the fact that while the British vessels
were seized by the American revenue
cutters on what the arbitra-
ton declared to be the high seas,
the Russian men-of-war seized these
American sealers within seven miles of
the Asiatic coast. 1t is matter of in-
terest that for the first time the Rus
sian government contends that marine
jurisdiction of country extends at
least this distance from the shore line
instead of being limited to marine
league, as laid down by the older writ
ers on international law. The league
was fixed originally because it repre-
scented the extreme distance from shore
that shot could be thrown by one of
thesold cannon used in coast defense,
and the Russians hold that the limit
should be extended to correspond to
the increased range of modern ordnance.

Two trucks laden with dynamite,
which it was judged unsafe to keep in
Mafeking on account of the risk of ex-
plosion should the town be shelled,
were sent by Colonel Baden-Powell
nine miles out in the hope that the
Beers would shell and explode them.
And so 1t happened. When the engine
had uncoupled from the trucks and re-
treated about mile the enemy shelled
the trucks with the result that ter
rible explosion occurred, killing, it is
estimated, 100 Beers.

Possible Rising Causes Conformation in

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The paramount
chief of the Basutos, according to dis
patch from Cape Town, has asked per-
mission to assemble the other Basuto
chiefs, with view of inviting them to
pledge loyalty to the queen.
This is assumed to be a forerunner of
a Basuto movement, and the Orange
Free State burghers near the Basuto
border are said to be in state of con-
sternation, fearing that at any move-
ment the Basutos, despite imperial in
structions to the contrary, will take
the field and invade the Free State.

COMEDIES MUCH
Canada Makes a New Proposition
in the Alaskan Boundary
Matter.
Willing to Give Much Claimed
Territory For Pyramid
HarbOr.
This Changed Attitude Said to Be
Due to Strong Imperial
Pressure.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Associated
Press is enabled to give authoritively
Canada's final proposition for perma-
nent settlement of the Alaska dispute.
1t is very different from her former
demands and was delivered to United
States Ambassador Choate by the Cana
dian minister of marine and fisheries,
Sir Louis Henry Davies, late the night
before the latter sailed and dispatched
Tuesday to Washington by the officials
of the United States embassy. 1t is as
follows:
"That the boundary line be arbitrated
upon terms similar to those imposed by
the United States and Great Britain
over Venezula, particularly those pro-
visions making so years occupancy by
either side conclusive evidence of title,
occupany of less than than that period
to be taken as equity allowed under in
ternational law.
''That as condition precedent to
and absolutely preliminary to arbitra-
ton, Skaguay and Dyea would be con-
coded to the United States without fur
ther claim, if Canada received Pyramid
harbor.
SIN other words Canada gives up
much of the disputed gold country in
return for seaport, but stipulates that
she must get the latter before she
agrees to arbltrate the boundary line"
Came as a Great Surprise.
The propositions of Sir Louis Henry
Davies were made privately and were,
apparently, the result of an unexpected
communication from his government,
for Sir Louis, the day previous, ex-
pressed no inkling that he was empow-
cred to make such sweeping proposals.
The Canadian statesman, heretofore,
has insistently denied the United States
contention that Dyea and Skaguay
must first be coded to the United States
before further treating on the subject
and his sudden change of front and the
concession of two such important points
are apparently intended as coup, and
Mr.. Choate was found, to certain ex-
tent, unprepared. The only reply he
could make was that he would inform
the authorities at Washington and
await their advices, as his instructions
did not contemplate such change of
base by Canada.
Caused by Imperial Pressure.
The Associated Press is reliably in
formed that Canada's new position was
greatly influenced by imperial pressure,
and it can be stated definitely that Mr..
Chamberlain = advised concession as
much as possible. in order to gain
port of entry free from United States
control, with the professed reasons that
commercial advantages would accrue
therefrom. But it is said that the ulte-
rior motive is to increase British naval
strength by making Pyramid harbor
strong naval station.
Regarding the probable action of the
United States in these altered condi-
tions, British official opinion is that the
United States, having been granted
Dyea and Skaguay, cannot refuse to &C
cept the identical form of arbitration
they compelled England to take toward
Venezuela. This course is contingent
upon the United States deciding that
the old Boring country is more valuable
than Pyramid harbor.

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN iBoDy.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

Food.
Every living thing, plant or an
imal, contains within itself the
germs of certain decay and death.
In the human body these germs
OF death (called by scientists Ptom-
aines), are usually the result of i'm
perfect dige.tion of food; the result
Of indigest M " dyspepsia.
The stom ~ from abuse, weak
ems, does 10. promptly and thor
oughly digest the food. The result
is a heavy, sodden mass which fer
ments 1.-THE first process of decay
poisoning the blood, making it thin,
weak and lacking in red corpuscles;
poisoning the brain causing head
aches, pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion weakens the heart,
causing palpitation and finally
portant organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kid
neys, causing Bright's disease and
diabetes.
And this is so because every or
gan, every nerve depends upon the
stomach alone for nOurishment and
renewal, and weak digestion shows
itself not only in loss of appetite
and flesh, but in weak nerves and
muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Hulk
ley, said the best start in life is a
sound stomach. Weak stomachS
fail to digest food properly, because
they lack the proper quantity Of
digestive acids (lactic and hydroch-
loric) and peptogenic products; the
most sensible remedy in all cases
of indigestion, is to take after each
meal one or two Of Stuart's Dys-
peptic Tablets, because they supply
in a pleasant, harmless form all the
elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of
the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, bright eyes
and clear complexion, because all
these result only from wholesome
food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at so cents full

The Poet Oliver Wendell Holmes Wit
ticism.

The Poet Oliver Wendell Holmes Wit
ticism.
The great poet, Oliver Wendell Hol-
mes, n c said: IF all drugs were
thrown into the sea, it would be all the
better for mankind, and all the worse
for the fishes" Of course the genial
poet referred only to poisonous drugs
as used by most physicians. He GER
tainly could not have meant all medi-
cines, for Nature, in her woods and
fields, has been most prolific in yielding
up her treasures of harmless, vegeta-
bic remedies for every disease. The
wondrful discoveries of the famous DR..
Greene, of 35 West 14th ST., New York
City, amply prove the fact. Indeed,
this skilled specialist in the treatment
of nervous, chronic and lingering COM
plants, uses in his enormous practice.
absolutely no poisonous drugs. but con-
fines his treatment solely to the use of
harmless vegetable remedies. His
worldwide known medicine. DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. is only one OF his many re-
markable discoveries. His extraordin-
airy success in curing diseases of what
ever name or nature, the innumerable
reservations of health under the use of
these marvellous curative medicines as
prescribed by DR.. Greene, establish be-
yond doubt that Nature has provided
remedies for each and every phase of
disease, and that DR.. Greene, by his
deep Investigations and his enormously
large experience, has discovered and
prepared remedies which surely and
certainly cure these complicated cases
of chronic disease. Any sufferer can
demonstrate this fact, as DIR. Greene
gives all the privilege of consulting
him, personally or by letter, absolutely
free of charge. If you are out of health
and have failed to be cured, see DR..
Greene at once, or write to him freely
and fully about your case. You can
do so in perfect and absolute conf
dence. He will explain your complaint
and advise you what to do to be cured.
