OFFICIALS HOPEFUL

EXPECTATION OF ADJUSTMENT
General Discrimination In Some Quar-.
ters to Consider a Reference to The
Hague Court of Arbitration as Means
Of terminating Difficulties.

Paris, Feb. 3.-The advices receiv-
ed here from Ambassador Jusserand
summarizing the status of the Ven.
ezuelan negotiations at Washington
lead the officials to express more
confident expectation of adjustment
of the difficulties than at any time pre-
vious. The tendency here appears
to be toward allowing the allies a
month or other brief period for pri-
ority collection of the customs. AS
it is estimated that the amount that
would thus be collected would not ex-
ceed $4,000 it is considered that it
will not interfere seriously with the
ultimate equality of treatment of all
the claimants.
1t is further said here that negotia-
tions have developed a general disin-
clination to consider a reference to
The Hague court of arbitration as a
means of terminating the differences.

For people who are weak and run
down there is no medicine so valuable as
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is vweak"
there is failure to properly digest and
assiinilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body, and each organ
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as a consequence of "weak" stom-
ach, there may be vweak" lungs, vweak"
heart, "weak " or torpid liver, vweak :"
nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, Golden Medical Discov-
cry" enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of healthy body. 1t increases the ac-
tivity of the blood-making glands, and
SO increases the supply of blood which
is the vital fluid of the body.
There is no alcohol in the Discovery"
and it is entirely free from opium, CO.
caine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people especially those
suffering from disease in its chronic form
are invited to consult DR.. Pierce by letter
free. All correspondence is held as
strictly private and sacredly confidential.

ical advice which has behind it an in

stated that not a penny of the money

benefit, but for the purpose of chart
table and educational objects-pre-
sumably much of it for the further
ance of his political views. He seems
to think that the old lady doesn't
care so much for the fifty thousand
dollars as she does for the fact that
it might be used in furthering his
and her. late husbands political
ideas.
When the old man died, it seems
that he had left, at the suggestion
of Mr.. Bryan, a sealed letter of in
~structions to his wife. The widow,
however, did not take kindly to the
instructions given her in the sealed
letter and refused to be bound by it.
Consequently, "the whole affair was
precipitated into the courts; a most
distressing publicity ensued, and Mr..
Bryan allowed himself to be betrayed
into writing an outburst of personal
frankness to the widow which she did
not choose to regard as confidential,
and which her lawyer, with undis-
guised brutality, promptly spread up
on the judicial records."-Monroe

Cleveland Star: In a very thought
full article The Progressive Farmer
suggests that in capital cases the
State be allowed the same number of
challenges as the defendant and give
the State the right of appeal. At
present the State has only four chal-
lenges of jurors without cause, while
the defendant has over five times as
many. These suggestions are good
ones, and especially as relates to the
number of challenges. The right of
appeal for the State would be a good
thing if we had many judges on the
bench like Judge PEBBLES.

FOR GOOD ROADS.
The Brownlow Bill Again Before
Congress.
congress.
Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:


Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:
Congressman W. P. Brownlow, of
Tennessee, to-day reintroduced in
the House his well-known good roads
bill. Acting on the criticism of OPP
ponents and the suggestions of
friends, Colonel Brownlow has re-
vised the bill somewhat, but all the
important features have been pre-
served. The new bill appropriates
2 100000 to be used as a fund for
National aid in the improvements of
highways. This sum is made a~vaila-
bic during the next three years, at
the rate of eight millions annually.
No State or subdivision thereof can
secure n part of this fund without
raising an amount equal to the share
received. The distribution among
the several States and Territories is
to be made on a equitable basis so as
to leave no room for '1ogrolling." In
reference to the bill, Colonel Brown
low said to-day:
"I think my good roads measure
has made wonderful progress during
the past year. Conventions all over
the country have endorsed it, and a
number of State Legislatures have
adopted resolutions in favor of it.
The number of public men who have
come out for it has exceeded my
highest expectations. In the West
and South the sentiment for the bill
is especially strong. A large number
of Senators and members from those
sections have assured me of their will
lingness to support the measure, and
it will also have some strong support
from the Eastern States where State
aid has paved the way for National
aid. / can't see how any man rep
resenting a rural constituency can
vote for a river and harbor bill and
refuse to vote for my bill. And I
don't see how any one who wants the
rural free mail delivery extended in
his State or district can refuse to
support a measure to aid in improv-
ing the roads, for bad roads are al
most the sole obstacle to such extern
sions. I am hopeful of getting the
bill up for discussion in the House
early in the regular session."

MILITIA RULES
CRIPPLE CREEK
Sheriff Fails in Attempt
to Arrest a Lieu
tenant.
Adjutant General Bell Says
the Warrant Is Of No
Value There.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Sept. 10
Emil Peterson, one of fifty men brought
from Duluth, Mimi, to work in the gold
mines, ran through the militia guard line
this morning, when he learned that a
strike was in progress here. Lieutenant
Harting ordered him to halt and as he
did not do so, fired a shot in the air. Pet
erson escaped. He said the Duluth men
were promised 81 to 50 a day in wages.
Most OF them went to work in the STRAIT
ION Independence mine.
This afternoon Peterson filed a COM
plant against Lieutenant Harting and
ShCrin Robertson armed with a warrant
went to the military headquarters and
demanded the surrender of the officer.
AdJutant General Sherman NJ. Bell, to
whom the warrant was presented, exam
iEed 1t and returned it to the Sheriff with
the remark that il was of no value there.
de then issued an order resembling the
passes CT Sheriff Robertson and his dep
uties, so that they are now denied admis-
sion through the guard lines

examination. No specific charge has
been placed against the prisoners. They
are held under the same conditions as the
other men who have been arrested since
the arrival of the militia in the district.
All three members of the executive
committee In charge of the strike, Ken

COAST IN NEED
Of ARTILLERY
Ma acArthur Suggests
Gun Practice for
Militia.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-General Mac
Arthur, commanding the Department OF
California, in his annual report says the
importance Of an artillery reserve for the
Pacific Coast cannot be overestimated and
recommends that the entire organized
militia of all arms located within easy
distance of San Francisco be invited to
participate in a course of coast artillery
training at the Preside. He has the fol-
lowing to say on desertions:
one thousand three hundred and forty-three
men deserted during the fiscal year. OF this
number 914 were from the garrisons Of the
department and represented approximately
~. - per cent Of the main strength thereof for
the year. The remaining 43O were from re-
cruits casuals and regiments passing to and
from the Philippines.
1t is not apparent why so many men resorted
to this method OF separating from the service,
and II the depressing result could in any way
be attributed 10 American methods IT would
certainly justify the deepest solicitude on the
part OF all concerned in thesmilitary admin
istration Of the army. AS matter OF fact,
however, the American soldier Is so well pro-
vfded for in respect TO all his material neces-
stiles and his personal appearance and is so
carefully safeguarded in respect to all matters
of Discipline that a conclusion arises spon-
taneously in the minds Of experienced investi-
gators to the effect that desertion. to large
extent, is incidental to human nature, rather
than an expression Of specific defects in the
military system and as such is not within the
scope OF ordinary methods OF control.
In the light of past experience and conditions
it seems apparent that the United States
nation must accept desertion as a necessary
evil until enlightened public opinion can be in
duced to believe that II not only affects the
army as an organization, but, in remote con-
sequences. is menace to the stability of our
institutions through its corrupting effect upon
the military ideals of the population that must
furnish the forces upon which the republic
must always rely in time OF war.
