CHANGES IN REGULATIONS.
The lime Of Examinations Tor Second Lieu.
tenancies Is Advanced.

Washington. Feb 26-The President
has made several amendments to the
regulations governing the examination
of enlisted men for appointment as
second lieutenants in the army Ac-
cordingly the usual preliminary exam
ination of such applicants will be held
March 20 of this year, instead of Sept.
/. as under the former regulation.
The advancement of the date of ex-
animation is supposed to be due to the
pressing necessity for additional Off
GERS in consequence of the war. Sol
diers desiring to take competitive ex-
animation must have completed two
years of service prior to March 20 next
and their age on that date must not
exceed 30 years.
The requirement for the holding OF
such examination at Leavenworth,
Kan, has been changed. to authorize
such examinations to be held in the
various military departments. at such
places as may be selected by the COM
handing officers. These are the prin-
cipal changes in the regulations.

SENATOR ouAY's TRIAL
Will Commence, Monday Morriag-Unusual
Interest Aroused by The Case.

Philadelphia. Feb. 26.-There is very
indication, tonight. that United States
Senator Quay and his son, Richard s.
Quay will he placed upon trial, tomor-
row, to answer the charges of con-
spiracy and the unlawful use of state
moneys. Both sides are ready. Sena-
tor Quay and his son have been here
for some time in daily consultation
with their lawyers. The trial will lie
conducted for the commonwealth by
District Rothermel. who was elected
last November and his assistants.
The trial will undoubtedly be of un-
usual Importance, not only because its
presents the spectacle of United
states senator as the chief defendant.
but also because upon its result largely
hinges his political future. 1t is regard
ed as extremely unlikely that the Leg
islative deadlock at Harrisburg Will be
broken in the meantime ana ii Is con-
coded that the outcome Of the trial
viii decide the question Of the semi
torial succession.
The Quays were indicted on Nov.
last. jointly with former State Treas
ur.r Gen. j. Haywood. who died last
Thursday. The charges grew out of the
failure OF the Peoples Bank Of this city
in March last. The formal allegation
is that the Quays and Haywood. while
the later was state treasurer conspired
with John $. Hopkins, cashier of the
bank. to use and that they did use, in
violation of law. state funds on deposit
in the bank for their own private pur
poses. Hopkins committed suicide
when the bank failed.
The case has already gone through
many preliminary stages and number
Of postponements have been granted at
the prayer of the defence. Demurrers
to the indictment We're filed and over
ruled and then the case was taken to
the supreme court on the plea. among
others that the prosecution was actua-
ted by political motives. which would
prevent an impartial trial in this coun-
tain this view and ordered the trial to
try The higher court did not sus-
tain this view and ordered the trial to
go Oh in the usual course. Judge
Deitler will be on the bench during the
trial.
The first day will doubtless be occu-
pied in drawing a jury and it is thought
that the trial will consume at least one
week. The commonwealth will call be-
tween 50 ard 60 witnesses and the de-
fence probably as many more. A
curious feature of the case is that
among the witnesses summoned by the
defence are former Postmaster Cen
eral Wannamaker, eXJudge Gordon.

A MUCH. DISPUTED QUESTION.
Army Officers inclined to Believe Gen. Eags n
Won't Receive SALARY.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Army officers
who claim to have knowledge of the
subject say that the comptroller of the
treasury will decline to authorize the
payment to Brig. Gen. Charles p. Ea-
gan, now under suspension from rank
and duty. the salary of commissary-
general of subsistence, amounting to
$500 year.
The question of the right of an army
officer to draw his pay while under sus-
pension from rank and duty has never
been definitely decided legally.
1t was not disposed of in the case of
Judge Advocate General Swain, fire.
quently cited as corresponding to that
of Gen. Eagan, because the sentence of
Gen. Swain said specifically that he
was to receive half-pay during the
term of his suspension.
In reducing the sentence of Gen. Ea-
gan from dismissal to six years sus-
pension, President Mckinley said MOTH
ing about the rate of pay Gen. Eagan
was to receive during his enforced re-
tirement. and it was generally accepted
in military circles that he would get
the fun pay of his Office.
This opinion has changed in those
quarters of the war department, where
important military matters are dis
cussed before being decided. 1t is said
that there is no authority for the secre-
tary Of war TO sanction to the payment
of Gen. Eagan's salary. and that when
he next applies for his pay the request
will be refused on the ground that he
is not an officer of the government
This will take the question to the
comptroller of the treasury. and some
officers who have examined statute
books and military regulations hold
that no authority is contained in them
for the payment of salary to an officer
suspended from rank and pay.

HEART DISEASE,
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid IN
crease Of Heart Troubles.
Do Not be Alarmed. but Look for the Cause

Heart troubles, at least among tne
Americans. are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due 70
the excitement and worry OF American
business life, it is more olteh tne re-
suit of weak stomachs. OF poor diges-
ton.
Real organic disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred OF heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves. the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way. also the heart is
effected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There Is :.
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure OF the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs. interfering with their action:
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
making it thin and watery. which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment Tor
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
ton and to insure the prompt as
similation of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe. pleasant and
effective digestive preparation. like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which may
be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable. harmless
digestive elements in a pleasant, con-
venient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistem use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of
the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at 80 cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.

DON'T APPRECIATE SITUATION.

fact is. however. that Luzon at the north
