LORD PAUNcEFoTE is HAPPY
isthmian Canal Treaty is Favorably
Ratified.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Final rat
ifications of the -Pauncefote treaty
giving England's assent to the con-
struction of a canal across Central
America by the United States were
exchanged at the state department at
o'clock this afternoon. There was
very little ceremony about the ex-
change. Copies of the treaty had
been prepared precisely similar, ex-
cept that in fact the signatures We're
inverted in one copy, and these were
formally exchanged between Lord
Pauncefote and Secretary Hay. pro-
tocol being signed formally attesting
to that fact, which will form part of
the records.
Lord Pauncefote was in the best hui
NOR over the successful outcome of
the labors of himself and Mr.. Hay.
He regards the treaty as one which
will do much to prevent friction in
the future between the two peoples.
1t has been suggested that with the
completion of this great work the
British government might regard Lord
Pauncefote's services as ended, but
it is learned that this is not the case.
Lord Lansdowne, the secretary Of
foreign affairs, has signified to Lord
Pauncefote his desire that he shall
mite period.

Few persons know that on a railway
line like the Santa Fe it costs nearly
as much to renew ties (s935 900 year
ly) as is paid to station agents and
station clerks; that the annual repairs
of roadway and track (s2,35O ,OOO) ex-
ceed the salaries of trainmen and traf-
lc clerks; that the renewal of rails
(S626,000) costs almost as much as the
telegraph service; that watchmen and
track-walkers draw nearly as much
money (S137, ,0G0) as is paid out for
stationery and printing; that the item
Of rail fastenings (S25O,OOO a year,
exceeds the expense of legal service.
But it pays TO have the track Just
right.

THE country here pleased us better
than any we have seen We drove out
eighteen miles in a northwesterly di-
rection through the Smith settlement.
This is n wonderful district; the
growth was splendid; all kinds OF
grains and roots were perfection. The
older settlers had good buildings OF
all kinds and looked very prosperous;
in fact, We came to the conclusion that
we had found what we were looking
for, good country. While the nature
of the soil changes and is in some
parts light. in others stony, and again
heavy, generally speaking it leaves
nothing to be desired. Hay and water
are also in abundance and wood can
be found along the river slopes and
islands. We have decided to locate
there and shall certainly advise our
friends to do likewise. We also trust
that this report may have the effect OF
drawing the attention of land seekers
TO this district, and can honestly ad-
wise all such to locate there They
will find a good thing AS farmers

pIicity is Doubted.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O--Ths state
| departments advices concerning Miss
Stone indicate that the Paris publica-
tion to the effect that she had been
set at liberty is, to say the least, pre-
mature. 1t is gathered, however, from
the reports of the United States diplo-
matte agents that the woman is likely
to be released very soon and that the
delay Is explained by the requirement
OF the brigands that they be given am
pie opportunity to insure their safety.
LONDON, Feb. 20.-A dispatch from
Seres, European Turkey, to the Daily
Telegram says that W. w. Peet, treas
urer OF the American mission at Con-
stantinople, has gone to that city and
that N. Garguilo, dragoman Of the
American legation at Constantinople.
and Dr. House, the missionary, who
are still at Seres, are growing very
anxious at the delay IN the release Of
the captives, which was expected a
week ago. The Turkish government
declines responsibility for the matter,
says the dispatch, as the transaction
with the brigands was made without
its knowledge
CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 2O-The
reports of the release of Miss Stone
are absolutely without foundation, al
though her liberation is expected mo-
mentarily.
BOSTON, Feb. 20,-No word from
Treasurer Peet of the headquarters Of
the American board of foreign mis-
sions at Constantinople has come to
the board here announcing the release
by the hrigands of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone,
and the officials have been in commun-
icatiOn with the state department in
Washington in vain effort to confirm
the story published in Paris that Miss
Stone and her companion had been de-
livercd to the officials of the American
legation at Constantinople.
Re-. DR.. Judson Smith, secretary Of |
the board, said

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-Governor
Taft continued to discuss the climatic
conditions in the Philippines today be-
fore the senate Philippine committee
Reverting to what he had said yester-
day concerning the health of the
Governor Taft said that much of the
sickness that does exist was due to
exposure and he incidentally made an
appeal for liberal appropriations for
the construction of barracks for the
protection of officers and men. The
witness thought the high death rate
of troops in the Philippines was not
due to guerilla warfare, saying that
it was impossible to get soldiers to
observe the laws of hygiene. His ex-
perience, Governor Taft said, was that
the greatest danger in the matter of
health in the Philippines is found in
the neglect of symptoms which are not
generally regarded as of Importance
in the United States.
He knew, he said, of Europeans who
had spent thirty or forty years in the
islands and who are in good health
He thought. however, that they gen
orally left the islands for several
months every two or three years. AS
a rule a continued residence had the
effect Of causing a gradual deteriora-
tion of health. Governor Taft said he
attributed his own loss of health to
lack of exercise. He referred to the
prevalence of private diseases and
said that certain precautions had been
taken by the medical authorities in
the way of supervision which was
thought necessary for the protection
of the troops and the public.

Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your
Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and
it proved to be an excellent remedy. Ihave
not had occasion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, W. NJ. LORD.
1t will be noticed that the Governor says
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for
other ailments. The reason for this is, most
other ailments begin with cold. Using
Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects
Instantly against other ailments. This is ex-
actly what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the

there will be no other ailments in the house.
