BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind OF food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, Its nutriment is des-
troyed by Indigestion or dyspepsia.

Chicago, April 1s.-Peter vdnvlissinger, who has been one of the most active friends of the Boers in Chicago, today sent to President Roosevelt an open let ter advancing an argument against the British mule traffic in the United States. He declares that the traffic Is in viola tion of the treaty of Washington.
 Article of that treaty" the letter reads lays down three rules by which arbitrators are to be governed. The sec- ond rule declares a neutral government Is bound not to permit or suffer either bel ligerent to make use of It's ports or wa ters as a base of naval operations against the other, or for the purpose of renewal or augmentation of military supplies ornaments or the recruitment of men, "
 Further along the letter says:
 Great Britain made no scruple of as- SCI ting the terms of the treaty of Wash ington against this country upon the first and only occasion when our govern ment was at war with a foreign state. April 26, 1898, the day after war was de- clared between the United States and Spain, Queen Victoria issued a proclama- tion of neutrality, insisting upon the ob- servance of the treaty. In this procla nation Great Britain insists that her ports and waters shall not be used to

EMPEROR'S YACHT
 HAD ROUGH VOYAGE
STRUCK STRONG WINDS, AND SEAS BROKE OVER HER CON- NUoUSLY-WAs IN GREAT DANGER AT ONE TIME.

London, April 1s.-The voyage from New York of the German imperial yacht, Me teor III, which anchored off Hythe in Southampton water yesterday evening, was by no means uneventful. She had plenty of bad weather and once even the safety of the yacht was endangered.
 Lieutenant Commander Karpf. Emperor Williams representative on board the Meteor, in an interview with a represen- tative of the Associated Press said
 With a strong northwest wind the yacht proceeded under her own canvas for the first couple of days leaving the steamer Scotia behind and ultimately los ing sight of her altogether.
 During the night of April we again picked up the steamer by night signals, and on the evening of April we were taken in tow until April 8, when, owing to heavy swell, the tow ropes were carried away. Towing was resumed on the following day when the wind had fallen. The tow rope again parted April 10 in a hard westerly gale. On April Il, while again towing, a hard easterly blow sprang up. Owing to the heavy seas the Scotia was only just able to keep steering way. The seas broke over her continual ly. At o'clock on the morning of April 12 the Meteor's bobstay was carried away.
 We cut away the tow rope, hove to and tried hard to secure the bowsprit, but we found that to be impossible and the bowsprit was ultimately carried away, seriously endangering the safety of the yacht and all on board of her. We man. aged, however, to recover the spar.
 The Meteor behaved splendidly and re- mained dry throughout the bad weather. She Is a fast sailer.

COLOMBIAN CANAL PROTOCOL.
U. s. Must Pay That Country Lump
 Sum of $7,ooo,ooo.

Washington, April 18-The Colombian canal protocol which was delivered at the state department on April l. and af- terward recalled by Minister Concha for notifications, was again presented to the secretary today.
 The proposal as to price Is set out as follows: One year after the exchange of ratification of a treaty. the United States shall pay Colombia the lump sum of S0o0.000. This figure will represent IA years rental at $5000OO a year. At the end of the IA years period the price which the United States shall pay each year is to be fixed by mutual consent of the two countries. In case the parties can not agree upon a sum, 1t will be left to an arbitrator selected between the two gov ernments. A joint commission represent ing Colombia and the United States will provide for the administration of affairs within the proposed canal belt. The re- tention of Colombia sovereignty over the canal land is a point which has been consistently adhered to all through the protocol.

EDITORS ENGAGE
 IN WARM DEBATE
w. H. FUTILE OF CHICAGO SE- MERELY ARRAIGNS THIRD AS. sIsTANT POSTMASTER GEN. ERAL MADDEN.

Hot Springs. Ark, April IS. - Todays session of the National Editorial Associa- tion was a lively one and for a short time the assemblage was like political con- vention. The storm arose after a paper had been read by W. H. Futile of Chi cago, attorney for the National Publish CTS Bureau, on 'Tne Postal Laws" MT. Futile severely arraigned Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden on account of the rulings he has recently made with regard to the mailing of certain classes of publications.
 As MT. Futile sat down Mir. Moore of Idaho took the floor and made a motion that the convention pass resolution asking Congress to investigate the acts of the third assistant postmaster general and take summary action. It was then point ed out that MT. Moore's motion was out of order. A motion to suspend the rules was lost by a narrow majority.
 MT. Moore again took the floor and in his discussion of the paper read by MT. Futile attacked the methods of Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden and upheld certain charges of incompe- tency.
 Ex-Congressn.a Owen Scott of Illinois asked the convention to take no harsh action. Hon. Lafe Young also advocated little less speed in condemning MT. Madden, and begged the delegates not to rush to the conclusion that MT. Madden was entirely wrong.
 By unanimous vote Garry A. Willard of Bonneville, N. r., was elected president of the National Editorial Association this evening. MT. Willard is fl years old and State Senator from Oneida county.
 The association completed the election of officers as follows
 Second vice-president c. T. Davis of Concordia, Kas.. third vice-presfdent, w. W. Screws of Montgomery. Ala, core spending secretary; J. M. Page, Jossey- vile Conn; recording secretary, R. M. White. Mexico. Mo; treasurer, James G. Gibbs. Norwaik, O.

THANKS TO SECRETARY HAY.

 With His Memorial Grafton.

Washington. April 1s.-The joint special committee of Congress on the exercises for the late President Mckinley today adopted a resolution which will be re- ported to the House giving the thanks of Congress to Secretary Hay for the ora tion delivered at the exercises. Repre- sentative Champ Clark of Missouri said he might determine to make minority report on the ground there was thread of politics running through MT. Hays oration.
 Representative Hooker of Mississippi took issue with MT. Clark as to the polit- ical aspect of the oration. He pointed out that MT. Mckinley had been through the many political struggles and his work was a part of the political history of the times. so that 1t was appropriate that the eulogy should deal with poll tical phases.
