by the terms of this section Congress
has for the time being specifically author
ICED and directed that all the rights, pow
ers and authority which accrued to the
United States under the treaty in question
be vested in and exercised by the President
and such persons as he may select. No re-
strictions or limitations are imposed and
until Congress. by express legisla ton, shah
have prescribed the form OF government OF
said zone the will and sound discretion OF
the President and his commission will con-
troll subject only to the general spirit and
purpose of the Constitution of the United
States.
1T must be borne in mind that Congress
has not by any specific act extended the
application of the Constitution and stat
utes of the United States to said territory.
Some legislation must first be had to that
effect before they can be made fully APP
plicable to the canal zone.

Revenues of the Zone.

- Your question five is more difficult of
solution. The instructions OF the President
stated by you relate to the carrying on of
the government Of the canal zone. and the
use of the local revenues of said zone. 1t
Is not wholly clear just what was meant
by the words local revenues of the zone
1t would seem, however. that what was
contemplated were moneys derived from the
various sources of taxation. etc. local to
the zone. distinguished from miscelane-

A pUNCHBowL FORT.

The proposal is said to have been
made to the Governor by Col. McC1el-
Ian on behalf of the Federal Govern
nent to acquire site ON Punchbowl
for a battery of 12-rnile guns.
This is surprising in view of the fact
that the Army Commission, which was
here several years ago looking up sites
for Honolulu fortifications. expressly
said that Punchbowl would not answer
and that the heavy guns should be To-
Gated only on Diamond Head and Bar
ber's Point, with battery at Waikiki
and one near Paul Isenberg's place.
Something was also said about a bait
terry, possibly a mobile one, to guard
the Pail approach to Honolulu. A sub
sequent board added Notifications for
tie special defence of Pearl Harbor.
This journal does not know why the
Commission found fault with Punch
bowl, but it might have been because,
if a battery there should ever fire at a
hostile fleet and the latter should re-
spond, enough of the enemy's shells
would fall in the city to destroy it. A
Punchbow1 fort, instead of saving the
town, would simply invite its annihila-
ton
AS minor consideration. ordinary
practice from Punchbowl with big guns,
such as regulations would call for,
would probably smash every window
between the Waikiki turn and Palama.

Today's conference is arranged to be
with the Governor himself, with an in

TOURIST EXCURSIONS.

The Hamburg american line, which
sends sumptuous excursion steamer
from New York to the Mediterranean,
and return, charges a minimum fare
of $3.50 for a trip of "a days duration.
Local steamship lines charge $f35 for
a round trip. including a stay ashore
at personal expense, of about eighteen
days duration. The home steamer
provides accommodation for about
thirteen days, making the trip cost a
little more than SO day, exclusive of
shore accommodations. The Ham
burg-American people charge a frac-
tion less than $6.12 per day and take
the traveller over $4,000 miles and show
him Madeira, Funchal, Gibraltar. Nal
aga, Alexandria, Beyrout, Jaffa, Con-

ADULTERATION.

The laws of this Territory for the
maintenance of high standard of food
and drugs are unusually complete, but
they may be susceptible of some
amendment and additions. Act 81 Of
1888, TO provide against the aduItera-
ton of food and drugs which required
the food commissioner to report month
iy to the president of the Board of
Health, was broad and full in its def
nitions and in the powers it conferred.
1t was revised and enlarged and the
original law repealed. by Act so of 1903.

as well as sale, and, in cases of sus-

ever, are in the enumeration of the va
rious forms of adulteration, which is
broader and perhaps more. searching
in some particulars than our present
law, as the following extracts will
show:
Articles of food are to be considered
adulterated if any substance has been

as adulterated if any substance has
been substituted wholly, or in part, for

ent has been distracted, or if they con-
tain poisonous ingredients or any in
gredient which may render such arti-
cles injurious to the health of persons
consuming them.

misbranded if they be an imitation of

not so, or is an imitation either in pack
ing or label. of another substance of n

THE WAR NEWS

Yesterday afternoon the news came
that Admiral Togo's fleet had attacked
Port Arthur and suffered the loss of
four battleships and two transports.
What the transports We're doing in
battle was not divulged. The story Of
the fight was sent from ST. Petersburg
but the alleged Japanese losses had
not been confirmed there. That
conflict of some kind was going on
yesterday at Port Arthur may be pred
icated of the news from Chefoo that
heavy firing had been heard there in.
the direction of the Russian fortress
across the Gulf. Later in the day
came the news that four Japanese bat
tleshfps and nine cruisers had passed
Wei-hai-Wei, a port near Chefoo,
steaming eastward In the direction of
Korea. This could have been no other
than Admiral Togo's fleet from Port
Arthur AS there are but six Japan
csc battleships extant four could hard
Iy have been sunk and leave four re-
naming Furthermore the fleet Togo
took from Sasebo had but four battle
ships and he seems to have them yet.
II he lost any ships at all they must
have been smaller vessels and might
have been torpedo boats.

1t is now reasonably clear that the
story of sunken battleships is the usual
Chefoo fake. based upon the destruc-
ton of merchant steamers loaded with
stone, which the japanese intended to
sink at the entrance of the harbor.
Viceroy Alexieff sends the news to st.

quest for further light on the uncon-
frmed battleship story.

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh OF the Stomach is Generally
Called MISUNDERSTANDING TO
Produce Artificial Digestion
Is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, PanCreatin and a Host
OF Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat OF the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

NIX. U. s. Senator M G. Butler from
H. South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms. In
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, d. c., says:
81 can recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. I have
been using your medicine for short
period and I feel very much relieved.
IL Is indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides n good ionic. M C. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in n natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. IL catarrh is located
in the head, Perunt cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Pcruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it Is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

That was decided by the board of con.

been the best tourney they ever at
tended, and since the day that the ex-
element ended they have wantd to re-
turn. The attendance last year was
the biggest that ever happened in Ne

ords were made that Cornhusker carts
ever saw.

this year. So did Nebraska City. Sew

reported few minutes after the de-

had been raised to hold the event

DISCUSSES THE REVENUE LAW.
Business Remedy and Not a Retalia-
tory Measure.

tory Measure.
LINCOLN.-The railroads of Ne
braska found an eloquent defender in
W. G. Sears, one of the authors of the
new revenue law. Before the state
board of equalization he declared that
the revenue law was a business and
not retaliatory piece of legislation.
If farm property had been increased
1t was not just to raise the railroad
asserted that farm property ought to
be raised and that the authors of the
bill had this object in view. He main
tanned that year after year the rail-
roads had paid taxes in cash, while
others had not. He said the stock and
bond theory of railroad assessment
seemed good, but the state board
would have to look out for the in
flated values of stocks and bonds. He
said the Chicago, Minneapolis & ST.
Paul road in his neighborhood had
been built at an expense of $4,000 a
mile. 1t had been bonded for $32, 000
He thought the latter was the value of
the road.
The estimate of the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy system was dis
cussed. The members discussed the
stock and bond theory of valuation
minus the necessary credits. Nothing
definite was decided upon. and the ul-
innate theory of the board is just as
intangible as the most intangible form
of railroad property.
The Burlington reports show that
the capital stock is $110,S39 100, the
number of shares of stock 1,10S,391,
and the par value 800. The shares
have not been quoted on the market
for more than two years, dating from
the consolidation with the Northern
Securities company The capital is
all paid UP and the Indebtedness is
given at S156,050,900, less $13,493,-
1896 securities and cash for invest
ment in the sinking fund, making an
Indebtedness of S142,557, 1874. The
gross earnings for the year in Nebras-
ka were $15,652, 6O0.S1, and the op-
Grating expenses were $8,290,615.69.
Taxes paid in Nebraska amounted to
$50,063.SS, leaving a net earning in
this state of S5,771,9 21.24.
