STATUS OF SOUTH
 AFRICAN REPUBLICS
United States Will Determine Matters When Successor
 to Hay Is Appointed.

Washington, March 19.-The status of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, in the eye of the government Of the United States, probably will be for the first time fixed when consul-generai Is sent out to Pretoria to succeed Adel- bert Hay, who has just returned to Wash ington on leave of absence, but without q purpose to go back to Pretoria. It Is said, that. so far, there has been absolutely no official declaration or that point.
 It Is further stated that when the Uni ted States annexed Porto Rico, the State Department sent no notices to any of ths powers; they were supposed to. take note themselves of the Presidents proclama- ton and tn acts of Congress. The old con suls retained their original exequateurs scued by the Spanish government, these being recognized by the United States military authorities as sufficient for the purpose. The status of our consuls in South Africa is precisely the same; they hold their old exequateurs, and these are recognized by the British military author ities as sufficient But in the case Of Porto Rico, whenever consul retires, his government made application for ar. exc quateur directly to the United States au- thorities, 1t being the rule to recognize de facto administrations and 1t is pre- sumed that when a change is made In consular representations in South Africa the application for exequateur will be made to whatever authority happens for the moment to be in de facto possession of the place to which the consul Is accred- ited

TdE MINISTER'S
 CANNOT AGREE
MT. RockhiII Says the Various Powers Are Demanding
 Enormous Indemnities

Washington. March 19.-It is feared here that the negotiations at Pekin re- specting indemnities may fall, owing to the greed of individual nations. Mir. Rock hill, our special commissioner, who haa been in close communication by cable with the State Department, has nothing but discourasing reports to make of thi: important branch of the negotiations. It appears that the ministers cannot agree upon any uniform basis of indemnity some of the powers demanding enormous sums.
 In most cases the powers contend for the right of fixing their own indemnities The result Is that each power in order not to be outdone, fixes the total of it's laims at an enormous figure far beyond any thing known to the history of indemnity collections. When the point is made that the sum total of these national claims Is for beyond the ability of China to pay, some of the nations reply by protesting a willingness to scale down their claims as soon as the fact of Chinas inability Is manifested. However, as another pre- caution the same nations promptly ad- Just their claims so that the scaling down process, if applied, would still leave them with total indemnity claim at least equal to that of any of the other nations.
 The difficulty encountered in passing this point In the negotiations Is attract ing so much of the officials time here that the threatened collision between the allies at Tien Tsin which by the way thus far has not been the subject of a re- port to the State Department from MT. Rokhin, though there Is reason to believe that some of the ambassadors should have made 1t the basis of unofficial conferences with the Secretary of State.

THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just as Easy to Form as Any 9th

Just as Easy to Form as Any Other
 We do not deliberately form our pet habits but they are unconsciously &C., quired, and grow as we grow, and by the time we learn they are hurting us, we find them too strong to be easily broken.
 Then, why not form a good habit, a habit which will counteract the many bad ones in other words contract the unfash- ionable habit of being always we'll
 The best health habit to get into Is to have and keep a vigorous stomach; If you have a healthy digestion you can drink your beloved coffee, smoke your favorite brand of tobacco, with little or no harm; the mischief begins when these things are forced upon the faithful stomach, without any assistance.
 Form the habit of taking after meals some harmless but efficient digestive which will relieve the stomach of so much extra work.
 Nature furnishes us with such diges- tiyes and when they are combined in such a pleasant preparation as Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, they give the overworked stomach just the necessary assistance to secure perfect digestion without any of the harmful effects of cathartics and similar drugs.
 The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is as necessary to the weak stomach as food itself, and indeed to get the benefit from food eaten, noth- ing better and certainly nothing safer can be used.
 Many families consider Stuart's Tablets as essential in the house as knives and forks.
 They consist entirely of natural diges- tive principles without the effect or char acteristics of drugs; they have no cf~ wlr

FLoURNEY RESIGNS.
City Editor of the Mobile Item Was
 Author of the Recent Fake.

Mobile March 19.-The story of the burning of sixty negroes in Baldwin County, sent out from Mobile on March 15, being wholly an invention and of pos sible damage to this part of the country as giving 1t a bad reputation, the Mobile Chamber of Commerce requested the name of the inventor of the sensation of the Chicago Chronicle, which paper re- piled that it was one George J. Tourney, adding that he was not regular cor respondent, and that the Chronicle had ordered him never to send another line to It. Tourney is city editor of the Mobile Evening Item, and generally credited with the authorship of flake" stories that have been sent as specials from Mobile. The information obtained by the Cham Der of Commerce was laid before the Item people this forenoon, together with the chambers condemnation of reports of such character. Thereupon Tourney handed in his resignation to the Item.
