LONDON. April 2s-The most trust
worthy authorities on international affairs
have for many years been predicting a war
in which the whole civilized world would
take sides. The train is laid. they say.
All that is wanted for an explosion is the
spark. Ii was expected that the near East
would supply the spark.
1uriousR, 1t IS iar-away Japan, a coun-
try which never heretofore counted in
European politics. that bids fair to bring
about the explosion. This makes the out
look more terrific, for, while the near East
would involve Europe alone in the, war.
the far East would draw America into
the melee, and australia could hardly
Keep out Of il: while India, China and
parts Of Africa would surely Join in.
Thus. if If comes to general set-to. we
shall veritaby have worldwar. for Eu-
rope. Asia. probably Africa. America and
Australasia will al enter into histiities
The struggle would be frightful. Very
likely it would last for Eve or ten years.
And for quarter OF a century after out
breaks would arise here and there. So that
complete peace would not return to the
earth before the year 1910 or 1850.
And what would he the result? OF the
combatants the nations best men. those
most competent TO do the useful work Of
the world lat least 2500,000, possibly
10000 would have met their death from
arms or disease AS many more would be
crippled for life, while 1000 GOO or 5000 600
would be more or less ineapacitated hy
minor wounds. But in many lands the
non.combatants would suffer more severe

trade, and il would be slow work to regain
it, for foreigners would not have money
with which to buy our wares. There is no
man better able than John Bull to get out
Of a hole. But consider that millions of
men in their prime would have been lost
by death, and that the majority Of those
who remained would be IN anything but a
tit condition, and il is evident that 80
years hence John Bull might still be
struggling to get out Of this hole
And all this because either Russia wants
to keep a wretched piece Of land that no
one ever heard of until a lew years ago,
or Japan wants to take revenge for being
turned out of Port Arthur after her war
with China
1t seems to be madness. Yet every
statesman in Europe is filed with the fear
almost with the belef-that it will come
to pass.

How Denholm Was Shot

During the excitement yesterday con-
letting stories were told of the attack on
Taylor's cabin The following account of
it was given to The Times today by an
eyewitness:
Charles Woodwork. a Tacoma news
paper man, went to the scene during the
morning and found Taylor in his cabin.
He started to Puyallup to notify the of
icers. and on the way he met Sheriff
Denholm and Marshal NIickens, of Puyal-
lup. He told them what he had seen and
the three returned to the cabin.
Sheriff Denholm went to the door and
raped. Taylor refused to open the door
and Marshal Mickens, who was standing
beside the sheriff, pushed the door partly
open. Immediately two pistols appeared
in the opening and the man inside began
pumping lead at the three men outside.
The marshal and sheriff both returned the
fire the sheriff trying to kick the door
in as he fired Suddenly Denholm fell
backwards Mckens saw him stagger and,
taking hold Of him. pulled him around the
corner of the house. Woorworth stood
near the door few minutes. but as he
had 10 gun, was obliged to retreat, Taylor
giving him a parting shot as he went
around the house. The sheriff appeared to
be badly wounded and the two men start
ed for the carriage with him."
The other facts are the same as report
ed in the four editions of The Times yes
terday.

INTERESTING FACTS.
For Nearly Every Man, Woman and
 Child.

A short time ago we published an article recommending to our readers the new discovery for the cure of Dyspepsia, called Starts Dyspepsia Tablets. and the claim then made re- sardinE the wonderful curative prop critics of the remedy have been abun- dantly sustained by the facts. People who were cautious about trying new remedies advertised in the newspapers and were finally induced to give Starts Dyspepsia Tablets a trial were surprised and delighted at the results. In many cases a single package cost ing but fifty cents at any drug store made a complete cure and fin every in- stance the most beneficial results were reported. From a hundred or more received we have space to publish only A few of the latest, but assure our readers we receive so many common datory letters that we shall publish each week a fresh list of genuine, un- solicited testimonials and never puh- fish the same one twice.
 From James Yemmeisler. La Crosse. Wis: Suarts Dyspepsia Tablets are doing me more good than anything ever tried and I was so pleased at re- suits that I gave away several box es to my friends who have also had the same benefits.
 From Jacob Anthony, Portmurray. New Jersey: I have taken suuart's Dyspepsia Tablets with the best re- suits. had Dyspepsia for six years and had taken a great deal of medl- cine, but the Tablets seem to take right a hold and I feel good. I am a farmer and lime burner and I hearth ly recommend to everyone who has any trouble with his stomach to use these Tablets.
 From Mrs. M. K. West Preston Minn.: have received surprisingly good effects from using Starts Dys- pepsia Tablets. I gave one-half of my last box to a friend who also suffered from indigestion and she had the same good results
 From Mrs. Agnes K. Ralston. Ca dillac. Mich: have been taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and am very much better. and feel very grate- full for the great benefit I have re- ceived in SO short a time.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a certain cure for all forms Of indiges- tion. They are not claimed to be a cure-all, put are prepared for stomach troubles only. and physicians and druggists everywhere recommend them to all persons suffering from nervous dyspepsia sour or acid stomach, heart burn, bloating or wind on stomach and similar disorders. su-wedfri.
