HONORS ARE SHOWN
TO TWO BOSTON MEN
Delegates Representing All
Great Countries of World
Talk of Methods Needed to
Secure Universal Concord

BOSTON, Oct. A general supplica-
ton, coupled with a demand almost in
sisting on peace bN the nations of the
world, was the keynote to-day in the
first deliberative session of the Thir-
teenth International Peace Congress.
Delegates from the great countries of
the globe all prominent in their home
lands, engaged in the proceedings, CIV
ing to the occasion all the dignity and
Importance of a momentous interna-
tional assembly.
A feature of the opening session was
the receipt of an elaborate report from
the International Peace Bureau for 1904,
in which was reviewed what had been
attained in the direction of peace by the
peace workers of the world during the
year just passed. and also was set forth
the present conditions of the world
necessitating correctionary measures by
those desiring the establishment of uni
versal concord. The suggestion was
made that some collective move might
be made to induce the Russo Japanese
belligerents to return to peace.
Edwin d. Mead, the chairman of the
organization committee of the congress,
delivered the opening address of the
meeting. speaking an earnest word in
favor of the reduction of great navies
and a general disarmament among ma
tions.
Robert Treat Paine Sr. of Boston was
elected president of the congress, and
DIR. Benjamin F. Trueblood, also of this
city, secretary.
Responses were made by one delegate
from each of the countries represented
at the Congress. including Alderman
Thomas Shape of Liverpool for Great
Britain. Shape referred particularly to
Secretary of State Hays appearance at
yesterdays peace meeting as the repre-
sentative of the United States, and took
occasion 10 remark upon what an as
founding thing it would be considered
in England did the British Minister of
Foreign Affairs officially represent
Great Britain at a similar meeting.
A general commendation of President
Roosevelt's call for another Hague con-
ference marked the meeting. Among
the letters and cablegrams received by
the congress and announced to-day
were those from Frau Solenka of Mu-
Mich, Germany; Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
Ward, Carl Schurz, Frederic Passy of
France and Bishop Henry w. Warren
of Colorado. A notieeably large num-
ber of greetings were received from
Baptist denominations and conferences
in various parts of the country.
Two mass-meetings under the aus
pices of the congress were held to-
night At one was considered the work
of The Hague tribunal. Oscar Strauss,
formerly United States Minister to
Turkey and member of The Hague
court, presided. Strauss advocated
revision of The Hague treaty so that it
might be rendered certain that when
nations enter into struggle some one
of them would take the initiative in re-
ferring their differences to The Hague
tribunal.
The other mass-meeting was conduct
ed by the Christian Endeavor Society,
with Rev. Francis E. Clark as chair
man.

INTERESTING FACTS.
Dor Nearly ErsrY Bar, Woman Or ChiId.

For Nearly Every Man, Woman or Child.
A short time ago we published an ar
ticle recommending to our readers the
new discovery for the cure of Dyspep-
sia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
and the claims then made regarding
the wonderful curative properties OF
the remedy have been abundantly sus-
tanned by the facts. People who were
cautious about trying new remedies
advertised in the newspapers and were
finally induced to give Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets a trial were surprised
and delighted at the results. In many
cases a single package costing but so
cents at any drug store made a COM
plete cure and in every instance the
most beneficial results were reported.
From a hundred or more received we
have space to publish only few OF
the latest, but assure our readers we
receive so many commendatOry letters
that we shall publish each week fresh
list of genuine, unsolicited testimo-
malls and never publish the same one
twice.

suits that / gave away several boxes to

From Jacob Anthony, Portmurray,

Dyspepsia Tablets with the best re-
suits. 1 had Dyspepsia for years

with his stomach to use these Tablets
From Mrs. NJ. K. West. Preston,

good effects from using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. 1 gave one-half Of my
last box TO a friend who also suffered
from indigestion and she had the same
good results.

Josef Hofmann told me yesterday
that if he had the choice he would
give only programmes that represented

Hofmann walked on to a lovely and

delicate, whimsical grace, followed

ended the programme, the Liszt Don

General KurOpatkin'S Report

Activity of MikadO's Troops
Intended to Screen Move
mentS of the Big Armies

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 5, 1:15 a. m.
Official advices from the Far East
given out this morning describe a Sc
ries of skirmishes on the southern front
Of General Kuropatkin's army, the only
Importance of which lies in the fact
that the Japanese are showing dispo-
sition to press forward and feel out the
Russian position. General Mistchenko' S
Cossacks in every case drove back the
opposing forces.
The activity of the Japanese outposts
is doubtless intended to screen move
ments of their armies, and therefore
may be regarded as precursory symp-
toms Of final preparations for an ad-
vance, which probably will begin with
in a week.
A special messenger has brought to
the Emperor General Kuropatkins full
report of the battle of Liaoyang. The
messenger, who submitted to an inter-
view, declares that the main army is
concentrated at Tie Pass and that it is
not likely General Kuropatkin will
make a determined stand at Mukden.
General Grippenberg, recently ap-
pointed to the command of the second
Manchurian army, will be received by
Emperor Nicholas at Peterhof to-day.
tt is understood that the third divi-
sion Of the Guards, stationed at War
saw. is under orders to go to the front.
This, with the second division of the
Guards and the rifle brigade of the
Guards, statened in and around ST.
Petersburg, will make altogether about
40 900 Guards who have been ordered
to the Far East.
There were recurrent 'rumors tonight
Of the fall of Port Arthur, but they
