AT WHITE HOUSE.
Legal Phases of NeeIy's Case FULLY
Discussed Today.


An important conference regarding the
case of Charles F. w. Nicely, under arrest
for embezzlement of post office funds in
Cuba, was held at the White House today
Those present, in addition to President Nc
Kinley, were Secretary Root, Postmaster
General Smith and Attorney General
Griggs. The President cent for the last two
cabinet members.
1t was decided to apply to Governor
Roosevelt for the eXtradition of Neely. This
requisition will be made in a few days
possibly before the departure of Governor
Roosevelt from Washington next Saturday
night. 1t is believed that Governor Roose-
velt will grant the requisition.
The administration then expects, from in
formation in its possession, that John d.
Lindsey, the attorney for Neely, will apply
to the federal courts for writ of habeas
corpus. taking the ground that Cuba is not
a foreign country and that Nicely is not ex-
traditable. The Attorney General will fight
the application. and will take the position
that Cuba is foreign country for all prac-
teal purposes and that Neely ought to be
eXtradited. The administration believes this
contention will be upheld, and is confident
that Neely will be sent back to the place
where his alleged crime was committed.
Attorney General Griggs will personally
look after the legal fight which is anuci-
pated. He will direct every move of the
government, which will take about the
same position it did in the case of Law
renee Myer, who was extradited and tried
in Cuba. The President and all those en-
gagged in the conference today expressed
their earnest desire to see the guilty per
son brought to justice and given what be-
longs to him in the way of punishment. It
was stated that the conference did not de-
Velop any new facts, and that the talk was
about the legal phases of the question, as
we'll as the Importance of making prece-
dent of Neely's case.
1t is said today that the contention of
Neely's attorneys will be that he should
be tried in the United States, holding that
the crime, If one has been committed was
against this country as trustee for Cuba
The contention of the government is at di-
rect variance with this, and 1t is thought
that the courts will be given an oppor-
tunity to permanently settle the status of
Cuba In such matters

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer from catarrh Knows That Salves, Lotions, Washes, Sprays
 and Douches Do No- Cure.

Powders, lotions, saives sprays and n- halers cannot really cure Catdrrh because this disease is a blood disease, and local applications, II they accomplish anything at all, simply give transient relief.
 The catarrhal poison iS in the blood and the mucus membrane of the nose, throat and trachea tries 10 relieve the system by secreting large quantities ot mucus, the discharge sometimes closing up the nostris, dropping into the throat, causing deafness by closing the Enstachian tubes, and after time causing catarrh of the stomach or serious throat and lung troubles.
 A remedy to really cure catarrn must be an internal remedy which will cleanse the blood from catarrhal poison and remove the fever and congestion from the mucous membrane.
 The best and most modern remedies for this purpose are antiseptics scientifically known as Eucalyptol Guaiacol Sanguna- ria and Hydrastin, and while each of these have been successfully used separately, yet it has been difficult to get them all com. bined in one palatable convenient and effi- cient form.
 The manufacturers of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have suc- ceeded admirably in accomplishing this re- sult They are large pleasant tasting loz- enges, to be dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching every part of the mucous mem- brane of the throat and finally the stomach.
 Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine, opiate or any injurious drug whatever and are equally beneficial for little children and adults.
 MT. c. R. Rembrandt of Rochester, N. Y, says: l know of few people who have suf- fered as much as 1 from Catarrh of the head, throat and stomach. l used sprays, inhalers, and powders for months at time with only slight relief and had no hope of cure. l had not the means to make a change of climate, which seemed my only chance of cure
 Last spring 1 read account of some remarkable cures made by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and promptly bought fifty-cent box from my druggist and obtained such positive benefit from that one package that l continued to use them daily until l now consider myself entirely free from the dis gusting annoyance of eatarrh; my head is clear, my digestion all 1 could ask and my hearing which had begun to faii as. d result of the catarrh has greatly improved until l feel 1 can hear as WeS ever. They are a household necessity in my family.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by drug gists a 50 cents for complete treatment and for convenience, safety and prompt results they are undoubtedly the long-Iooked for catarrh cure.
