WASHINGTON, Nov. 2:.-In official
and diplomatic quarters much interest
was manifested in the plan put forward
In London cables Of 2 treaty among the
great powers defining spheres of inf1u
snce in China. That anything in the
shape of a formal treaty to be made be.
tween the powers interested in the fut'
ure of China as to the outcome of the
gotiations now in progress, is not be-
heved here, though an understanding OF
less formal nature is possible. These
negotiations followed the frank request
CT Secretary Hay upon some of the gov
ernments which had already given him
verbal and informal assurance of the
continuation of all our treaty rights in
Chinese territory TO have these agree
ments reduced to form.
IT was not regarded as necessary to
go beyond that point, and although it
frequently happens as the result of ini-
tiatng negotiations that the scope of
them is broadened far beyond anything
originally in contemplation, it is be-
heved that such will not be the case
now and that there Will be no necessity
would be extremely difficult to frame
eny such convention SO as TO secure the
approval of the United States senate
without d protracted struggle, that
might disclose disagreeable weak
nesses in the governments policies,
and besides the effort would be sure to
arouse opposition from the considerable
element III the United States which is
unalterably opposed to any sort Of for
elgn entanglemenrs.
OF course this statement applies only
to the United States, and there could
be no objection on our part to the other
powers joining in treaty covering for
eign rights in China, provided there
was nothing in the agreement obnoxi-
GUS to our just and proper claims. On
the whole, having in view the highly
satisfactory utterances in the French
chambers of M. Delcasse, the French
minister of foreign affairs, respecting
the maintenance OF the 'open door" in
China. there is felt in official quarters
to be reason for expecting successful
outcome OF the negotiations on this sub
ject opened by the United States.
At some of the foreign estab blishments
the proposition was considered
"feeler. resulting from the recent in
quiries made by the American govern
ment as to the attitude of the great
powers. Other influential members of
the diplomatic corps pointed out that
the plan was the logical consummation
OF the scheme initiated between Russia
and Great Britain, where spheres of IN
f1uence would be defined. The Chinese
legation views the proposition as purely
conjectural, and the Chinese minister,
Mr.. WI Ting Fang. when his attention
was directed to the matter, regarded it
as preposterous.

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
OF Physical Manhood.

No form of athletic exercise de-
mands such perfect physical condi-
tion as prize fighting. Every muscle
IN the body must be fully developed
and supple, and the heart, lungs and
stomach must act to perfection.
Whether We endorse prize-fightine
or not, 1t is nevertheless interesting
to know the manner by which men
arrive at such physical perfection.
James Jetfries, the present cham
plon heavy weight of the world, and
his gallant opponent, Tom Sharkey,
in the greatest pugilistic encounter
that has ever taken place, both pur-
sued much the same course of train
ing and the first and most important
part of this training was TO get the
stomach in condition ,and to keep the
digestion absolutely perfect, so that
every muscle and nerve would be at
its highest capabilities.
| This was not done by a secret pat
ent medicine, but both of these great
pugilists used a we'll known natural
digestive tablet sold by druggists un-
der name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets and composed of the digestive
ferments which every stomach re-
quires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jeffries says: ".Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acldity,
strengthen the stomach and insure
perfect digestion. They keep man
in fine physical condition. Signed,
James J. Jeffries, champion of the
world.
The gallant fighter, Sharkey, says:
"Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets remove
all discomfort after eating. They
rest the stomach and restore it to a
healthful condition. l heartily re-
commend them" Signed, Thos. J.
Sharkey.
The advantage of the daily use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is that
they keep people we'll and ward off
sickness and are equally valuable to
well persons as to the dyspeptics.
Another advantage is that these tab
lets contain no cathartics, or poisons
of any character, but simply diges-
tive ferments which are found in ev-
cry healthy stomach, and when di-
stomach lacks some of these ele-
ments and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets supply it.
IHey are no cnedp caCndrtlc, Du1 d
perfectly safe and efficient digestive
and the demand for them is greater
than the sale of all other so-called
dyspepsia cures combined. No rem
edy could possible reach such place
in public esteem except as the result
of positive merit.
Full sized packages are sold by all
druggists at 80 cents and the best
habit you can possibly form is to
take Stuart Tablet after each meal.
They make weak stomachs strong
and keep strong stomachs vigorous.

SILVER REPUBLICANS MET.
Towne Said Congressional Action Ma
Force Silver to the Front.

Towne Said Congressional Action Ma,
Force Silver to the Front.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27,-The executive
committee of the Silver Republicans
met here.
Alliance with the Democratic party
in the coming campaign will be the up
permost topic of discussion.
Mr.. Towne, in discussing the political
situation, said:
"If congress this winter, in response
to the demand of the president, destroys
the bond paying value of silver, calls in
silver certificates and reissues gold pay
ing certificates, the silver question will
be a leading issue in the next presiden.
tial campaign.
''Such action on the part of congress
would furnish an entirely different
proposition from that which confronted
the people in the last campaign. The
Republican party won because of the
fear of the ratio of 16 to l. The adop-
tion of the Gage and Mckinley finan-
cial plan by congress would mean the
contraction Of the currency of the coun-
try and the people would be confronted
with fact, not a theory, in the battle
of standards. The silver question is
not dead i'll American political affairs. I"

Winter in the South.

The season approaches when ones
thoughts turn toward a place where
the inconvenience of a Northern
winter may be escaped. No section
Of this country offers such ideal
spots as the Gulf Coast on the line OF
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
between Mobile and New Orleans.
It possesses a mild climate, pure air,
even temperature and facilities for
hunting and fishing enjoyed by no
other section. Accommodations for
visitors are first-class, and can be Sc
cured at moderate prices. The L. &
N. r. r. is the only line by which it
can be reached in through cars from
Northern cities. Through car sched-
ules to all points in Florida by this
line are also perfect. Write for

Members of House Republican Commit
tee Met at Henderson's Rooms.
WASHINGTON, Nov 27.-Seven of the
Republican caucus committee appointed
at the last session of congress to pre-
pare a general financial measure for re-
port to the coming congress gathered at
prospective Speaker Henderson's rooms
at the Ncrmandle hotel and informally y
considered the bill prepared by the COM
mittee in Atlantic City during the past
summer. The members present were
Messrs. Henderson, Babcock, Morris
(Minnesota), Curtis (Kansas), Payne,
Dalzell and Overstreet.
Mr.. Henderson does not look for any
essential changes in the bill, but says
the members are firm in the faith and
the purpose to push the measure at the
coming session. The committee is
waiting to have joint meeting with
the senate committee, if possible dur.
ing the coming week, before the Re-

JUDGE CATLIN
Knew Every Man, Woman and Child
in Akron's Early Days.

Judge Joshua Tracy Catlin, who
died in his 92d year at his home in
Ravenna last Wednesday, was one
of the early residents of Akron, hav-
ing come to this city in 1884, where
he got employment in the postoffice.
Judge Catlin was man of re-
markabie perceptive powers and
memory" says the Ravenna Demo-
cratic Press, "the latter faculty being
well nigh infallible. It was wonder
fully exemplified in his ability to call
by name on sight every man in Ak
ron who was resident there in 1856
and 1887, and more than half of the
women.
-"July 27, 1887, he was married to
Elizabeth Swinehart at Akron, in
which place they remained until the
fall of 1889, when they removed to
Rootstown, Portage county, where
they resided until 1856 and where he
followed the trade of halter. He
also served as justice of the Peace
for that township during the term of
II years.
''In 1855 he was elected Recorder
of Portage county and moved to Ra-
VIENNA. He served in this capacity
for six years. after which he was ap-
pointed Probate Judge of the county.
He was Mayor of Ravenna for one
term and also elected to the Office of
Justice of the Peace"

Hon. tCHAs. A. TowNE, Mime
,ota's noted independent Republican,
declares that an attempt by the in
coming Congress to retire the bond
paying function of silver, to call in
the greenbacks, and commit the
country more to the Single gold
standard, will mean that the Silver
question will again be the leading
issue in the presidential contest
next year. He believes that the
people will not permit the currency
to be further contracted by legisla-
ton along the lines favored by the
peculative classes.

of Warren had an article in the

he does a great deal of gushing over
the political complexion of the
Western Reserve. He closes with
IN extravagant laudation of Briga-

fact that the Warren Senator needs
the Brigadier Generals help in the
matter of the appointment of Attor-

nothing to do with the sweetness of
his song.
