ST. PAUL, Dec. 26.-President Melen
of the Northern Pacific tonight author
lzed a plain statement that he had not
resigned and does not contemplate re-

til tonight, when he dictated the follow

Gently made in the press that l have either

independently of other railways now, as it has
been during the time l have been connected
with il, and L have no knowledge of any at

THE PART OF ARGENTIN E
WHAT IT HAS DONE TOWARD
 PAN-AMERICANIsM.
Delegates from the United States Entertain Their Colleagues at an Banquet at the Chapul-
 tepec Restaurant.

E Mexico City, Nov. 2. At this mornings session of the Pan-American Congress the Al genuine delegation presented lengthy re port showing what the Arg ntine re- public has done with a view to carrying cut the recommendation of the first con- ference held in Washington eleven years ago The report isi comprehensive re- view of the resources of Argentine, the part which attracted most attention De- ing the chapter dealing with arbitration. The Argentine delegates declare them- selves in favor of comparative and com pulsory arbitration for all questions, bending and future. They make a yelled allusion to South America controversies when they say, There are real difficult ties meancing, conflicts pending, ques- tens, in word which refuse to be put out of sight and those questions. the sec ond Pan-American conference must con- slider and solve in a lofty spirit of jus tice under penalty of failing absolutely in one of the fundamental purposes of it's existence"
 This declaration attracted great atten- on inasmuch as Chls had stipulated as a condition sine qua non for participating in the conference that the consideration of arbitration was to be confined to fu- ture questions only and that her dele- gates would withdraw from the confer ence if any attempt were made to give a different turn to the discussion of that subject.
 The declaration of the Argentine dele gates was the more pointed in that they affirmed that their country has no wrongs to avenge. In fact, the sympathy of the Argentines for Peru, though not extensively shown, has been very appar- ent since the opening of the conference.

Presidents Heads on Stamps.

New York Sun.
 If President McKinley's portrait is put on one of the postage stamps of this country as dispatches from Washington have said is likely to be done in case the Postoffce Depart ment brings out a new issue, his portrait will be the ninth of a President to be used in that way.
 As the regular series of stamps. excluding the Columbian. Trans Mississippi aIId Pan- American exposition issues has now been m circulation with only sight changes n water marks and the like since s9o, a change of some sort is expected soon by philatelists.
 Ever since Uncle Sams postoffice began making stamps in I94z or thereabouts, the face of Washington has appeared o none of the stamps in every regular issue. and with a single exception on stamp of low value and general use Benjamin Franklins face has always adorned postage stamps of low value and has thus become familiar to people who send or receive letters ever since lS47.
 Presidents other than Washington whose faces have appeared on the stamps are Jef- ferson. Jackson Lincoln. Garfield, Grant, Madison and Taylor

COFFEE IMPORTER
Tells Some Plain Facts.

One of the heaviest importers of coffee In America, and who requests that his name be kept from the public in connec- tion with the following subject because or the effect it would have on his business says: 'I have used coffee for over thirty five years but about a year ago was com pelled to discontinue its use on account of it's effect on my health. Since taht time I have used nothing In It's place but Postum Cereal Food Coffee and properly prepared. it is simply delicious with cream and sugar.
 In connection with this have also used GFape-N Nuts Breakfast Food. While in Florida this winter l carried package with me all the time, so If I was unable to get what l wanted for breakfast could rely on my own supply.
 Any one who could have known of my condition a year ago, and the very great improvements now, would have no cause to question the wisdom of my change from the old fashioned diet to the pres ent."
 This man Is one of the best known cof- fee experts in the world, and his testimo- ny regarding the flavor of Postum Cereal Food Coffee is noteworthy.
 Now and then a person gets Postum Food Coffee served under-boiled and con- seauently almost tasteless chemical change takes place in Postum after 1t has been actively boiled for F or 15 minutes; this change brings out the food value and the delicious taste. It does not answer to simply leave 1t on the stove for l6 min utes, it must stand on the stove until boiling commences. then be allowed to bubble 15 minutes.
 A piece of butter twice the size of pea should be put in the pot to keep it from boiling over.
 Many a man or woman continues in a half sick state from month to month, not knowing that the drug in the coffee they use is the cause; try leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. That change has worked salvation for many skeptical sick ones. thu.
