lean governments appreciation of the
beneficent results of the first confer
ence, and regretted the necessity of
suggesting postponement of the work
then begun, a work in which the Rus
sian government, no less than the
American. was keenly interested.
Secretary Hay thanked the Ambas-
sador for the cordially with which the
declaration of Russia's adherence in
principle to the proposition had been
conveyed to the American government
and assured him he would forthwith
transmit the reply to the President.
Although different in form, the Rus
sian reply does not differ in effect from
that of Geat Britain, France and the
other European powers, practically all
of which have already answered the
invitation. While Russia is the first
power specifically to suggest a post
ponement until the close of the war,
all the Powers in expressing their APP
prevail of the proposition reserved for
future pourparlers the time when the
conference should be held,
1t can be stated that this govern
ment is well pleased with the recep-
ton its note has received. For the
present, it is probable the American
government will rest on it's oars.
When the Far Eastern war enters on
its final stage. this government will
be prepared to follow up it's invita-
ton.

willing to join the Powers in a second

last, inviting them in the name of the
President to reassemble in conference
at The Hague "to complete the post

MAY THROW ADAMS OUT

Denver. Col. Nov. 30.-The Supreme
Court to-day heard argument on
motion which has an important bear
ing upon the result of the election of
Governor and members of the Legis-
lature in this state.
Attorneys representing the Republic
can party have asked the Supreme
Court, which has assumed original iu-
rlsdiction in the local election cases,
to order the Denver election commits
sion to throw out the entire vote of a
precinct in which it is alleged the
courts order relating to watchers was
violated without an investigation to
determine the number of legal votes
cast and without opening the ballot
box.
Should the court order the vote of
this precinct thrown out the attorneys
for the Republicans will demand sim
liar action in respect to about fifty pre-
cints, in which it is charged that the
courts orders were violated. All these
precincts gave majorities for Alva
Adams for Governor, and by throwing
out the returns the Republican man
ayers hope to overcome Adams ma
jority of about 11.0OO in the state and
continue Gov. Peabody in office.
The control of the State Senate also
appears to hinge upon the decision in
this matter.

MUST NOT COPY
THE TRUST SYSTEM.
Germany Warned Against the Plan
of the American Octopus.

Germany WaTneu ASutnSt the L AttH
of the American Octopus.
Berlin, Nov. 30.-In the Prussian
Diet the last two days have been de-
voted to an animated debate on the
bill appropriating $175OO,OOO to take
over the shares of the Hibernia Coal
Company, which the Dresdner Bank
bought on behalf of the Prussian gov
eminent. The bin passed it's first read
ing and was referred to a committee.
Herr Moeller, Minister of Commerce
and Industry, dipped into the trust
question as it exists in the United
States and warned Germany against
copying the American system.
For several years." he said, 1--WE in
Europe were under the spell of those
powerful American organizations. We
believed the Americans had discovered
the philosophers stone After time had
elapsed and we had observed what
had become of those trusts, we were in
a position to regard them more calmly.
We Germans were most dazed by the
greatness of the steel trust. What
shape did matters take with that con-
Germ? In order to effect an organiza-
ton it was compelled to resort to crazy
disqualification"
Minister Moeller, continuing, said the
iron works had been capitalized to
double, to three-fold and finally to ten
fold their actual value, and that the
company is no longer master of the
competitive situation in it's own coun-
try. Its management of prices caused
new works to be established, which
were better equipped than the older
ones and were producing greater
amounts by cheaper methods. The steel
trust. he added, controls at present
only 40 per cent. of the country's pro-
uuctlon, against 10 to 80 per cent at
the start
Against such experiments the
minister concluded, may Germany be
preserved"

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetab les.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion: 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; IT
dlsinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed OF the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
