NAVAL MlLITIAMEN
Meet to Frame Basis Of Legislation
and Call on President.

Washington, JAN 1.-THE National
Association of Naval Militia met here
today. to frame Il basis for legislation
to promote the naval militia of the
country. There were about so delegates
from various states, including Com
nander Edwin Gear of Baltimore, the
president; Lieut.. +. G. Willard of Bal
timorc, secretary; and Commander
Washington Irving of New Jersey, the
treasurer The meeting was addressed
by Secretary Moody, Speaker Cannon.
Assistant Secretary Darling, Chair
man FosS of the House committee on
naval affairs; Representative Dayton
of West Vagina, a member of that
connmittee: Rear Admiral Taylor. chief
Of the bureau Of navigatiOn; and Capt.
Miller of the New York Naval Militia
The delegates later called on President
Roosevelt Lieut.. Commander Usher,
U. S. NJ, has been detailed by the navy
dc partment to act as advisor of the
association. Admiral Taylor also
pledged cooperation.
The President greeted the delegates
cordially and delivered a brief address
to them to their work. He said:
nave q peculiar interest ILL., ana
think l may say, knowledge of the naval
militia and the work it has done. When
| was assistant secretary of the navy the
interests of the naval militia came pecu
liarly within my province. l am particu-
larry glad to see you here and ] most
earnestly hope that you will he able I"
harmOniZc any small differences of opin-
ion among you and work for q common
end 1t is with the naval militia as ii is
with the national guard generally. If they
can decide definitely what they want ana
agree upon it, We can come pretty near
putting their policy through; while ii
there is a disagreement, 1t is an extreme
ly difficult thing to obtain proper legisla
ton or administration.
''It is not necessary for me to say to Il
body like this that the position of the
United States as great world power and
her ability to maintain with dignity and
Self-respect her position in the world at
large depend primarily upon the cilicien-
cy of her navy. and that you. by the
work YOU did in the naval militia, can
contribute as TO other body of citizens on
and can possibly cont to make that
efficiency reach Il high standard.
The aSSoCia ton approved what is known
as the Hale naval militia bill and the
Hale naval reserve bill. The naval militia
bill is fashioned after the Dick army mill
tia bin and will put the naval militia on
the same relative footing as the Land
force. the militia will be purely state or
ga niZations The Naval Reserve as cX
planned by Lieut.. Commander Usher. will
he national and will prove Il feeder for
the regular army.

GREATER CONCESSIONS
For United States Are Being Looked
After on the lsthmus.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE Senate
committee on foreign relations, today.
considered an amendment to the
Panama canal treaty directed to
obtaining for the United States
greater concessions in regard to
the jurisdiction over the har-
bors adjacent to the cities of Pan
anna and Colon. These harbOrs are
within the canal zone. described in the
treaty. but it is provided that they shall
not be included in the grant of the
zone to the United States in perpetuity
The phraseology of the amendment
was discussed at length and it was
agreed that it would have to be per-
fected before the amendment could be
accepted. Both the Democratic and
Republican members of the committee
admit that the treaty does not guard
the interests of the United States as
fully as could be desired in the matter
of harbor privileges. 1t is believed the
amendment in another form will be
accepted by the committee when it
meets again, tomorrow.

YOU WILL BE ALL SMILES AGAIN.
Forget Your Stomach and You'll Have
Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO DO 1T,

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give a man d forlorn
and friendless appearance and make
him morbid and cranky" and dis
agreeable, that thing is dyspepsia. 1t
makes one forget his friends and be-
come mOroSe and irritable. He is 50
wrapped up in his own misery that he
is incOnSiderate of every one else.
relieved of this terrible and depressing
ailmcnt, he again becomes good
fellow and a man among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the
sufferers of this terrible disease. The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth of this statement.
They are, above all, a natural
remedy. They possess eSSctly the
same properties that the gastric juices
and other digestive fluids of the
stomach possess and they actually do
the digestive work of the stomach and
email BILE that organ to rest and 'reCuper-
ate and become sound and well. They
act in u mild. natural manner and
cause no disturbance in the digestive
organs. They prevent any fermenta-
ton Of the food which causes sour
stomach. In fact, under their infiu-
encc the subject foryets that he has
stomach and his resulting cheerful
ness presents a great contrast to his
former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are sold annually
and they are but in the dawn of their
popularity. Every mail brings letters
of thanksgiving from grateful ones
who have been cured of this terrible
disease. The following is one of
hundreds received each week:
Rev. j. +. HoaE of Wymore, Neb.,
writes: For six years l have been
troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall I
became very much alarmed at some
symptoms of heart trouble and came
to believe there was q sympathetic
relation between the two diseases or
rather. that the stomach trouble was
the cause of the heart disturbances L

and a half for three boxes which lasted
me three months and I car eat any
kind of food l want and haze a good,
vigorous appetite. Although 7 am Il

REAR END COLLISION
Causes Death Of Two Men, While Sew
eral Are Injured.

Alburg. VT, Jan. 1.-two men were
killed. several persons injured and
much property damaged by rear end
collision of freight trains on the Rut-

ton, five miles west of here, early to-
day. Joseph Wright. a Chinese inspec-
tor. employed by the United States
government along the border, and
James Hodges of Malone, N Y, were
the men killed.
The wreck is attributed to the slip
perry condition of the rails due to a
freezing rain storm which passed over
this section during the night. Two
freight trains were descending a steep
hill on their way to Alburg, when the
forward one met with a slight accident
and was obliged to slow up. The sec
ond freight was unable to come to a
standstill on account of the condition
of the rails and crashed into the rear
of the first train at the platform of

OF PACIFIC CHARACTER,
Word Received at State Department
Not of War Nature.

Washington, Jan. l+-Mr. Takahira.
the Japanese minister here today.
called on Secretary Hay and informed
him that the Japanese reply to the last
Russian note had been delivered. this
morning. The reply amounts to a de
NAL of all the important Russian prop
ositions and Japan's counter proposals
are Of nature that almost certainly
make them unacceptable to Russia
Therefore. most pessimistic view of
the future is taken at Toxic. ON the
other hand. advices that come to the
state department from Paris. St.
Petersburg and Berlin are all of a
pacific character. Ambassador Porter
at Paris cables that pressure is brought
to bear on the wouldbe belligerents
and particularly on Japan by at least
one of the great European powers to
cause Russia and Japan to come to
terms and so avert open hosSilities
The Car is also reported tq he .ex-
tremely DESTROYS of preventing War.
Taking these two connecting sets of ad-
vices into consideration. the official
opinion here is that Japan will not
yield to any such pressure.
The japanese minister has supplied
the state department an abstract of
the last Japanese note.

sador, on his part. has acquainted the
