GLU77OMY

Is more common than we may think, 1t
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is fair
definition, and 1t fastens the name glut-
ton on many person who would resent
the term al an insult. The fact Of this
gluttony is marked by it's consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
ton Is "weak stomach. The "weak !"
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu-
triton for the body, and soon the 'weak-
ness " spreads from the stomach to other
organs.
Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
enables the perfect assimilation OF food,
by which alone the health and strength
OF the body is maintained.

AiSA-
the Cuban Constitutional Convention
have decided to send to Washington
will have good time personally, and
that will probably be about the only re-
suit of their trip. They can accomplish
nothing in Washington that they could
not do in Havana Just as we'll. AL
though the President does not like the
idea Of having this commission sent to
Washington, because he considers it a
reflection upon Gen. Wood for the Con.
vention to have assumed that anything
different from what Gen. Wood has said
would be said by him, he will receive
the Commission and will listen to what
its members have to say, and will give
instructions to have them properly
treated while in Washington. His own
talk to them will be confined to telling
them that the conditions offered by the
Platt Amendment is an Act of Con-
gress, and as such is not subject to any
change or modification whatever, by
any other power than Congress.
Gen. Miles has seemed to be in high
favor with the administration ever since
his nomination to be Lieut.. General
but official occurrences Ct the past week
indicate that the old feud between Gen.
Miles and Adjutant General Corbin is
still on, and that the Adjutant General
is still the reigning favorite Of the adj
ministration. 1t all came about through
the appointment Of Chief Of Artillery
under the Army Reorganization act.
Gen. Miles recommended either Col. j..
I. Rodgers, Of the Fifth Artillery, or
Col. Guenther, of the Fourth Artillery,
for the place. but Adjutant General
Corbln backed Col. W. F. Randolph,
and he was appointed. 1t was nothing
new for recommendations of Gen. Miles
to be ignored, and he would probably
have taken no official notice of this case,
but when Secretary Root, without the
knowledge of Gen. Miles, promulgated
the order defining the duties of Chief of
Artillery, Gen. Miles got his dander up
and called the attention of the Secre-
tary Of War to the fact of his having
been ignored in the issuing of the order
and further that the order failed to car.
ry out the intent of the law creating
the Office, which makes the Chief of
Artillery a member of the staff Of the
Lieutenant General commanding. Gen
Miles claims that the order, as issued,
makes the Chief of Artillery subor-
dinate Of the Adjutant General, and has
requested that it be amended to con-
form to the law. Secretary Root has
paid no attention to that request.
Friends of Gen. Miles fear that the re-
opening of this old feud may result in
his compulsory retirement, although he
has been assured, within the past few
weeks that he would be allowed to re-
main at the head Of the army until re-
tired by age.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, APRIL 18TH, 1901.

A semi official denial that negotia-
tions had been opened with Great Brit
ain for a new Isthmian Canal treaty,
has been giyon out. Secretary Hay is
still trying to find out what sort OF a
treaty would command two thirds vote
in the Senate, and until he does there
will be no negotiations started by this
government. Great Britain can, of
course. submit propositions Of her own
at any time, and they will be received
and considered by this government.
Mr.. Felix Schuster, Governor of the
Union Bank of London, who has reached
Washington in the course Of leisurely
tour Of the country, which is to in
clude the Pacific Coast, is evidently a
very level headed sort Of an Englishman
When asked to give his impressions of
the United States he replied: VA great
many of your people come over to Eng.
land, aad it seems to me that there
ought to be some reciprocity In this sort
of thing, l have come to American to
observe the financial and trade condi
tions, but do not care 10 say anything
in detail of my trip, for I have been
here only short time. Over in Eng
land we have harsh names for these PEG
pie who visit here few days and 60
buck to their homes and write volutely
of the American people. My impress
sions of the country thus far, have been
very favorable"
Senator Cockrell, who has just re-
turned from trip through Cuba, talks
very Interestingly of what he saw. A
mong other things, he said: VI was
very agreeably surprised in finding 80
much untitled land. Comparatively
but small portion Of the soil Of Cuba
is in actual cultivation. Many products
which would undoubtedly flourish there
are not even seen or cultivated. 1t is
capable of being moot productive coun.
try for all kinds Of fruits and vegetables
as we'll as for sugar cane and tobacco.
The island has large number of har-
bors. From what could learn of our
officers who have been in the various
waters around the island, there are as
many good harbors as there are in all
the coast lines in the United States.
As to the social conditions in Cuba, one
is agreeably surprised by visit. did
not see a drunken man during all the
time l was on the island. In all my
travels through the cities and upon the
island, | saw no beggars, with the ex-
ception Of two very old colored men
and Chinaman, who were on the plat
forms at the: stations ready to receive
contributions. So far as l could Judge,
the people were we'll dressed for that
climate and all had plenty to eat. Coy.
General Wood seems to have been re-
markedly successful in bringing order
and cleanliness to the island" Senator
Cockrell declined to say anything for
publication at this time, about the opin
ions he formed as to the political stu.
alton in Cuba, further than that he be
lieved the Cubans would eventually &C.
cent the conditions.
