VERY GENIAL
 ARE AMERICANS Lord PauncefOte, British Am-
 bassador, Talks ofCanaI HOPES FOR A SETTLEMENT. . he. Ambassador Thlnks a Better Rasis of Common Understanding WIlI e Soon Exist Between the Two Great Nations.

London, July 17--Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador to the United States, made the. following statement tonight to representative of the Associated Press:
 'I am having conferences with the Marquis Lansdowne, not only about Me aragua, but also with regard to half dozen treaties pending between Great Britain and the United States These are generally concerned with the West Indies reciprocity arrangements"
 When asked If he thought there was a possibility of arriving at an agreement regarding the Nicaragua canal before Congress reconvened, he replied:
 "Yes; I sincerely hope so. We are now in the midst of the negotiations. which, although they have not yet reached any tangible result, show great promise. When return to the United States at the end of October I hope to take with me a Nicaragua treaty that will meet the views of both President Mckinley and the British cabinet. It goes without say. ing that the President hs made himself cognizant of the opinions of the Senate and of the secretary of state.
 There is no use wasting time over treaties which the Senate is likely to re- fuse. really believe the differences of opinion between the two nations are ca pable of sentiment in an agreement fair to both"
 At this point Lord Pauncefote paid a warm tribute to the Americans "They the most genial people on the face of the earth,' he declared At the first grip of the hand they take you to their hearts. So long as you do not try to deal in an underhanded way. so long as you do not assume superior airs they treat you as one of their own and no one could say more than this"
 Reverting to the report that a majority of the Senate favored a neutral canal Lord Pauncefore said:
 'It would be good news If true. I hap pen to know that MT. Hay consulted the Senate both the sections supposed to sup port him and the section credited with other motives. You may be sure that whatever is agreed upon between the two governments will meet with the approval of the Senate" .@
 When asked If the joint commission is likely to sit again in Washington, he re- piled:
 "Yes, think that 1t will, although this will not occur until after my return.
 'I see that the Boston Chamber of Commerce has petitioned for reciprocity with Canada. This I regard as a most hopeful sign. It will be one of my aims when I return to the United States to foster this desire for a closer commercial relationship between the Dominion and the United States.
 Tn spite of the attitude of Canada to- ward Newfoundland, and in spite of the trade difficulties of both Canada and Newfoundland in dealing with the United States, I by no means despair of effect- ing some sore of reciprocity scheme. which. when the Nicaragua matter be justly and amicably settled and the West Indian treaties have been arranged, will bring Great Britain and the United States even to a better basis of common understanding than exists today"

Strengthening the Order.

Port Huron, Mich, July 17.-Amend- ments to the articles of incorporation for the purpose of strengthening the order and an increase of the various funds for cases of emergency occupied the attention of the supreme tent of the Knights of he Maccabees in ses- sion here today. A decisive vote on the re-rating of old members will be had tomorrow. It is proposed to re- rate the 68,000 old members under the new rating of assessments which went into effect several years. At present old members are paying about 33 per cent less than the younger members, and since the last biennial review they have turned in $200,000 less than it cost to carry them. It was decided to- day to reduce the amount taken from the life benefit fund to the general fund from 12 to 10 per cent.

VIRGINIA CONVENTION.
Seventeen Minutes ,sufficed for Deiib-
 erations of the Body.

Richmond. Va, July 17.-Seventeen minutes suff1ced today for the deliber. ations of the Constitutional Conven tion. The day was fearfully warm. Only two resolutions were presented, both brief and of no special signif- canoe.
 v. A. Milton of Petersburg presented the following, which went to the com smittee on government of counties and cities:
 < Resolved, That the proper commit tees inquire into the expediency of amending the constitution to the fol lowing effect:
 That no county or city or other To- cal subdivision of this State shall grant it's credit to or in aid of any per. son, association or corporation, and shall not directly or otherwise sub Pscripe to the stock of any company association or corporation, and shall not be party to or become interested in any work of internal improvement nor engaged in carrying on any such work" f. -..s

MORE POLICEMEN, MAYBE,
Matter Again Taken Up Before the
 Board of Aldermen.

It is very probable that the police de- pertinent will be allowed ten additional men on October l.
 At a meeting of the police commission held some time ago Chairman J. H. Mo- Cary was instructed to go before the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and re- quest an increase in the police force At the last regular meeting of the board Chairman McCary appeared and made the formal request. The matter was re- ferred to the police and sanitary and finance committees for a report.
 At the meeting of the board last night Alderman Harry Jones. acting as chair man of the finance committee, asked that the committee be given further time on the matter, and asked, further, that 1t go over until October 1. This was allowed by the board.
 Later in the proceedings of the meeting Alderman Ward reported, or the police and sanitation committee, favorable on the request for an increase of ten men for the police force, and the matter was again opened. Alderman Heidt and oth- CTS discussed the matter and Mr. Heidt moved that the action of the board in adopting the report of the finance com mittee in regard to the matter be re- scinded. After much discussion this was done by a small majority. Before voting on the question MT. McCary, who was present. addressed the board. Alderman J. R. Copeland also spoke, favoring the increase of the force. and said: ''If po- liceman will cross the Fourth ward once in two months will be satisfied"
 A motion was then made to allow the commission an increase of the force on September of ten men. This motion was lost and the matter was carried over until the next regular. meeting of the board.

PROFESSOR SMITH, OF CEORcIE,
 CURED OF NERVOUS REGISTRATION.

that yours was worthy. I have been troubled with what Is termed post nasal catarrh, causing an oppressive feeling in the head and considerable nervousness and sick headache.
 "Noting the wonderful testimonials from eminent men regarding Peruna, the greatremedy for catarrh. I concluded to and did try bottle of Peruna. must acknowledge that the medicine seems to possess tonic, warming and remedial virtue in excess of other medi- cines and that the use of Peruna in my case has been advantageous and that I have faith enough in its medicinal yir- tue to continue it's use."-Martin W. Wheelock.
 MT. John F. Schmidt, of Carthage, Ohio, says:
 "Peruna has saved my life. For five years the best doctors had pronounced me incurable. suffered with a compli- cation of diseases-palpitation of the heart, nervousness, weakness and dys- pepsia. A few bottles of Peruna cured me. Peruna cannot be beaten as tonic. have gained forty pounds since taking Peruna."
 In later letter he says:
 "I am in the best of health since have taken Peruna. I weigh 1S5 pounds, but I will never be without Peruna in the house."-John F. Schmidt. Peruna is a Natural and Efficient Nerve
 Tonic.
 Peruna strengthens and restores the activity of every nerve in the body. Through the use of Peruna the weak ened or overworked nerves resume their natural strength and the blood vessels at once begin to regulate the flow of blood according to Natures laws. Con gestions immediately disappear. All phases of catarrh, acute or chronic, are promptly and permanently cured.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
 Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus Ohio.

Manila, July 1Z--AdJutent General Cor bin today explained to the correspondent of the Associated Press that the chief pur- pose of his visit to the Philippines was to get in better touch with the details of the situation and further the desire of the administration for greater economy in the army of the Philippines. General Corbin has been invited to accompany the members of the civil commission on a trip to the northern part of Luzon, but will probably decide to visit the southern islands of the archipelago in- stead.

 Legislative Department.
 The convention then took up .considera- tion of section of the article on legisla- tive department This reads as follows:
 Sec. 6. The pay of members of the legis- lature shall be four dollars per day and ten cents per mile in going to and return- ing from the seat of government, to be computed by the nearest usual route travelled. .a
 MT. Murphree moved to amend by mak- ing the mileage three cents and providing that the members using free railroad passes shall not be entitled to mileage
 Governor Oates said this was the same section as in the old constitution and the committee thought 1t ought to stand
 MT. Reese of Dallas offered as a sub- stitwte to fix the mileage at five cents. This substitute was tabled.
 The first part of the Murphee amend ment fixing mileage at cents was tabled. On motion to table the latter part, re- lating to free passes, an aye and nay vote
 
 was lost by a vote of 46 ito 73.
 MT. White of Jefferson offered an amendment to prohibit members of the legislature accepting free transportation from any common carrier.
 MT. White said MT. Murphree's amend ment was good, but did not 20 far enough. His amendment contempla ted that a member should be paid his mileage but he was opposed to a member drawing his mileage and accepting free transportaL tion from the railroads. That nothing was so ruinous to the interests of the peo- pie as legislators accepting free passes. It is not accepted as a bribe, but it was not right. The present constitution says sworn to obey the constitution. Mir Smith Of Mobile asked Capt. White if he had ever heard of transportation being offer ed a member without his asking for fl Captain White replied that 1t had been so offered to him It made no dinerence whether 1t was asked TOT or not-the main fact was that 1t was accepted. What we need Is clause in the constitution which will be self-operative. The present one was not. MT Smiths suggestion that passes were asked for carried with 1t great deal of force. He was sure the railroads themselves would be delighted to have a law putting stop to it.
 Judge Coleman's View. Judge Coleman of Greene favored the idea of prohibiting free passes, but said this was not an opportune time to act on the subject. It could come up on the question of transportation or corpora tions.
 MT. Smith of Mobile said this was not the first attempt made in the various states to regulate this evil. He said he was district attorney of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in Mississippi and exhibited his passbook, saying that since
