prettiest golf of the tourney. and he was
picked yesterday morning as sure man
for the semi-1nals, with bright prospects
for champion. But Mr.. Bartlett played ex-

him renewed courage in his match with
Mr.. Jenkins.
Both players drove we'll, Mr.. Jenkins

Bartlett came back capturing the 14th, but
the doctor got the 16th Bartlett, by SEN
sational putting, won the 18th and halved
the 18th, leaving him one stroke in the rear.

ton received by the State Department that
the commission had reached an agreement.
Although the bulletin from London Is ex-
ceedingly brief, State Department officials
say that it shows distinct victory for the
United States.
1t is their opinion that the effect of the de-
cision regarding the Portland canal merely
gives to Canada the possession of TearSe
Island. small island in the Portland canal
and of no special Importance. This detail
of the controversy is admitted by State De-
partment officials to have been open to ar

NERVOUS PRosTRATIoN.
The Result Of the Pain and Irritation
from Hemorrhoids.

Nervous Prostration is often the re-
sultof neglecting a case of hemorrhoids
or piles; the pain and irritation attend
ant upon this disagreeable trouble in
conyeniences and annoys one but 1T is
possible to go to business and to Go the
ordinary days work, so the trouble Is
neglected until the nerves become ex-
hausted and the patient is a victim Of
nervous prostration.
Hemorrhoids cause a. sensation of
heat, tension and itchihg IN a region
whore Is located the most Sensitive
nerves Of the human system and the
continued irritation Will eventually
cause a collapse of the nerves This
would easily have been avoided if the
patient had carefully treated the case
of piles from, their first appearance.
No other trouble can be so quickly and
safely overcome if treated in an early
stage; and even if the case Is an old
one, there is a remedy which will act
with remarkable results if faithfully
applied.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is in suppos-
itory form and can be conveniently
applied to the afflicted parts, the sooth-
ing oils and medication reaching and
healing the enlarged hemorrhoidal
veins Of the rectum and acting at once
upon the inf'amed tissues.
Every sufferer from this trouble
should send at once to the Pyramid
Drug &C., Marshall, Mich, for their
book on Piles or Hemorrhoids, which
will be sent free. The Pyramid Pile
Cure Is so well known and the hun
dreds cured by it have so advertised it
that the little book is merely sent to
give each patient a clearer view of his
or her particular case and the proper
treatment for it.

ambassador is informed in the note
that Americans, north and south, want
peace and not alliances.
Venezuela has taken special ex-
ception to the action of the British
government in initiating this last pro-
position by which Great Britain can
hold fast to Germany and Italy In
their alliance against Venezuela until
the last cent of the claim is paid. The
prediction is made in her response that
surprise and regret of the keenest sort
will be felt throughout the Americas
when it is known that Great Britain
has even proposed continuing her pres
ent alliance with Germany and Italy
one moment longer than is necessary,
particularly in view of her previous
representation to the effect that she
was anxious to end the Venezuelan
dispute and call off the alliance at the
earliest possible time.
In suggestion that the question of
preferential treatment be referred to
The Hague it is understood that Mr.
Bowen does so in view of the fact that
this question is the only one which
remains in dispute. The allies are adj
divesd that Venezuela is DESTROYS that
all the negotiations shall stand by what
has been already agreed on.
The British ambassador declined
tonight. to make public the text of the
note addressed to him, as it is really a
note to the allied powers, but it be-
came known that it was along the
lines here set forth and concluded with
,cfio 70 IInc a
tribunal regarding the contention of
the allies for preferential payment
and an assertion that such action car
ried with it the raising of the block
dae. Some significance may attach
to the note in view of the fact that be-
fore dispatching it to the British en-
bassy. Mr.. Bowen was in conference
with Secretary Hay.
Whether the allies will accept as
final what Mr.. Bowen has had to say
or will assume conciliatory attitude
and ask, as has been suggested by both
Mr.. Bowen and the representative of
the allies i'll this city, for preferential
treatment for a limited period, no one
in Washington feels competent to pre-
dict. The position taken by Mr.. Bowen,
it is stated, has received the endorse
ment of all the unallied claimant ma
lions, in which number is included the
United States.
At the JOINT conference at o'clock
this evening, besides Mr.. Bowen, the
Italian and British ambassadors and
the German minister, there was also
present Count A. Won Quadt, first
secretary of the German embassy, who
until the arrival of Baron Sternberg
conducted with activity and judge
ment the negotiations on behalf of his
