Negotiations Resumed.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Following the
change in the Colombian negotiations
steps have been taken TO resume inn
mediately the exchanges between the
state department and the Colombian
delegation with view to the perfec-
ton OF canal treaty. 1t is now known
that what was regarded as the most
difficult problem to solve has been
successfully met by the negotiators in
the arrangement of the perpetual
control" clause of the projected treaty

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges COM
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear "The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from Iaryngi-
It's, and loss of voice. The result OF
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief and after
further use of the medicine we hope TO
be able to say she is entirely cured. "
Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care OF
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-
suits as the above letter testifies.

London, Dec. 4.-Some of the Lon
don morning papers regard President
Roosevelts message as disappointing
in as much as, according to their view,
she adopts cautious and conserva-
tive policy rather than revolutionary
one in dealing with the trust question
and the tariff" The general impress
sion is that President Roosevelt has
been influenced by the warning echoes
of the last elections, and that he seeks
to attract rather than to compel the
support of congress Of his measures.

KY NOTES OF THE MESSAGE.
Its Salient Features are Here Made
Plainly Visible.
NOTHlNKER NEED READ MORE.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The following
pre the more prominent features OF the
message of President Roosevelt. Hav-
ing digested these the thinker can I'LL
it out.
Corporations, and especially combi-
nations of corporations, should be
managed under public regulation.
Publicity can do no harm to the
honest corporation; and we need not
be overtender about sparing the dis
honest corporation.
To remove the tariff as a punitive
measure directed against trusts would
inevitably result in ruin to the weaker
competitors who are struggling against
them.
The country has acquiesced in the
wisdom of the protective tariff prin-
ciple. 1t is exceedingly undesirable that
this system should be destroyed or that
there should be violent or radical
changes therein.
There must never be any change
which will jeopardize the standard OF
comfort, the standard of wages OF the
American wage-workers.
The cases in which the tariff can
produce a monopoly are SO few as to
constitute an inconsiderate factor in
the question; but of course If in any
case it be found that given rate or
duty does not promote monopoly
which works i'll. no protectionisS
would object to such reduction OF the
duty as would equalize competition.
Both kinds of federation, capitalistic
and labor, can do much good, and as IA
necessary corollary they can both do
evil.
Every employer, every wage-worker,
must be guaranteed his liberty and his
right to do as he likes with his prop
erty or his labor so long as he does not
infringe upon the rights of Others
No policy ever entered into by the
American people has vindicated itself
in more signal manner than the policy
of holding the Philippines,
The Monroe doctrine should be
treated as the cardinal feature OF
American foreign policy; but it would
be worse than idle to assert it unless
we intended to back it up, and it can
be backed up only by thoroughly
good navy.
So far as they are available for agri-
culture, and to whatever extent they
may be reclaimed under the irrigation
law, the remaining public lands should
be held rigidly for the home OF the
builder, the settler who lives on his
land, and for no one else.
The first and most important step
toward the absorption of the Indian is
to teach him to earn his living; yet it
is not necessary to be assumed that in
each community all Indians must be.

Had Fourteen OIL Tanks.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 6.-While
the steamer Progresso was lying at the
wharf an explosion occurred. AS a
result twelve men are missing. A score
were more or less seriously injured,
and property to the amount of 5000, 600
was destroyed. AS the ship was built
of steel, the fire on the ship was nearly
all below decks. There were IA oil
tanks, containing about 400 barrels Of
oil in all, and despite the efforts of the
fire department, this continued to burn
ferOely for hours after the explosion.

CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. 1,206.-Capt. Alfred @.
Rigler of Hose Company No. 4. Can
ton. Ohio, says: 81 had weak back
ever since l was a boy, and about
six years ago the cause developed
into rather a bad case Of kidney COM
plant. 1t was not q little backache
now and then, but backache which
caused actual suffering day and
night, and the harder l tried to get
rid Of 1t the worse it became.
When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account OF
the twinges of pain in the kidneys.

took everything which came to
my notice from reading, from observa-

uuaintances advised consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop 1t.
1t became so well known that had
pronounced case of kidney COM
plant that I often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention l wanted to try them,
just as l had tried everything else,
and Mrs. Rigler went to Durham &
Wright Co.'s drug store for a box.
Relief followed.
l knew after a dose or two that
the medicine was acting directly on
the kidneys from the altered condi-
ton of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, l continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, |
would willingly pay one months
wages for box of them if l could not
buy them for less. You can refer
any one to me about Doan's Kidney
Pills and l will convince them that
they act just as represented"
