In Fact, II Looks Like 1t Might Be
Out of Sight Pretty
Soon.
NO WORD YET FROM THE GEAR
But Report Is That He Will Make no
Concessions
Presidents Policy Is "Prolong the
Negotiations" in Hope That
Something Will Result
TherefrOm.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 22.-The
result of President Roosevelt's effort
to sove the peace conference from fail
IRE remains in suspense. No direct re-
Fly to the presidents proposition COM
municated by de White has come from
Emperor Nicholas, but other adyices
received from st. Petersburg indicate
that the emperor and his councillors
are mistaken in their determination
neither to cede territory nor pay war
tributes. What the president is doing
ON the Japanese side remains as deep
Il mystery as ever. Little light is shed
upon til visits Of Baron Kaneko to
Oyster Bay.
Japs ShW No Sign Of Change.
The Japanese do not even admit
that he is their medium Of commune
cation with the president They go
80 farther than to reiterate that Roose-
welt understands their position, and
that they have the fullest confidence in
him. They show not the slightest in
dication that they have in any wise
changed their position or are prepared
to yield more than they were last Fri
day, when the plenipotentiaries ad-
journed until this afternoon.
What May Happen Today.
If de White does not receive fresh
instructions before o'clock when the
conference is resumed, therefore, both
sides will present their protocols for
signature. One side or the other must
then make move, or all that will be
left will be brief final protocol GER
tifying that they have reached the
parting of the ways, and to bid fare
we'll.
Also Some Other ''Mights."
But such an abrupt termination is
hardly anticipated. Baron Komura, if
de Witte has nothing to propose, might
present Japan's irreducible minimum
embodying the final concession she is
prepared to make, if she is prepared
to make any, or formally propose col
lectiye consideration of all the articles
still in dispute. Any move on either
side would involve another adjourn
ment, or such an adjournment might
be frankly proposed by Gle Witte, as
he would not be guilty of the discour-
tesy of allowing the conference to go
to pieces before receiving reply to
President Rooseyelt's proposition.
Policy of Presidet Roosevelt.
1t is safe to assume. therefore, that
in the absence of such reply the con-
ference will be prolonged beyond to-
Cay and every delay, in the opinion Of
the presidents friends, mean hope,
faint though it may be. Roosevelt's
object is officially described as being

Railway travel is cheap in Belgium,
according to a report received at the
State Department from United States|
Consul McNally at Liege. He says
that the Belgian state railway sells
tickets on a time basis which enablesi
the holder to travel continuously, ir
desired. for the period stated on the
ticket. within the limits of the country.
For instance, a ive-day ticket will cost
$3.50, and a ~fifteen-day ticket, $7.72.
During the life of one of these tickets
it serves as a pass, and 1t is only neces-
sary to show it upon request. The
above rates refer to second class only.
All that is required to obtain these
tickets is to present at the office an
unmounted photograph of small s,zes
which is attached to the ticket as q
means of identification.

CURLING CORRUPTION.
Connecticut Has a New Political Re-
form Law of Sweeping Power.

The Connecticut State Legislature
which has just adjourned has placed
upon the statute books one of the most
sweeping political reform bills in the
history Of any American commonwealth.
The new corrupt practices act, as it is
called, will have an immense influence
on future political conditions in Connec-
ticut. Hereafter any successful candi-
date for office who is found guilty of cor
rupt practices is to forfeit his seat to his
defeated rival. Any citizen who has
proof that an election has been secured
by fraud can take bis information to a
States Attorney, who is then to ask
a Superior Court judge for a hearing.
eff" says the law, ''such judge shall be
of the opinion that the interest of public
justice requires such proceeding" he is
to notify the chief justice of the Supreme
Court, who shall then name a second
Judge to preside with the FIRST on the
case, the trial to be without jury. In
case the defendant candidate is found 20
be guilty he shall then forfeit his Office
to his defeated rival, and be ineligible for
any ONCE for four years afterward."
In case a State officer, executive or
legislative, il found guilty the court can
only decide as to the facts of the trial,
and Is then to put the case before the
Governor, who has power to declare the
place vacant. In case a national officer
Is found guilty, such as Z United States
Senator, the court Is to send its fn2ing
to the Governor, who Is then to place it
before the judiciary committee Of Con-
rress. In this way there can be no dis
pute as to the method Of furnishing of
tenders who would otherwise be protect
ed by the constitution. In case it is
found by the court that a trial has
been asked out of spite and without
suficient evidence to convict, the court
is to have the power to quadruple the
costs OF the trial, which will have the
effect of eliminating many possible unfair
attacks ON successful candidates.

HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart trou-
BILE. The reason Is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often the
heart trouble Is caused by IN unexpect-
ed thing and can be corrected IL taken
Ia time and properly treated. A man
in Colorado writes:
Il was a great coffee drinker for
many years. and was not aware Of the
injurious effects Of the habit till I be-
came a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
to an extent that made me
wretchedly miserable myself and a
nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
II continued to drink Coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause Of my iil-health, till. on applying
for life insurance l was rejected on
account Of the trouble with my heart.
Then 1 became alarmed. l found that
leaving of coffee helped me quickly, SO
l quit II altogether n having Deem
attracted by the advertisements Of
Postum Food Coffee I began its use.
THE change in my condition was re-
markable, and 1t was not long till II
was completely cured. All my all
ments vanished. My digestion was
completely restored, my nervousness
disappeared, and, most important OF
all, my heart steadied down and be-
came normal, and on a second examina-

ance company. Quitting Coffee and

FEARED BURIAL IN TRANCE.
Unhappy Existence Led by Victim OF
Peculiar Disease.

In one OF my voyages from Cape
Town to England" writes a traveller.
II shared my cabin with a peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that If he should die
during the voyage l would prevent
his burial at sea. He said that on a
previous voyage he had fallen sick
and was taken for dead and put into
sack for burial A quartermaster
had been put on to watch the body
Until it was time for the funeral.
When the burial party arrived, the
ouartermaster informed the captain
that he thought the body had moved
IL the sack. The sack was opened and
Lazarus eventually came to life again.
Such was the story Lazarus told me.
Lazarus was a thin man, with a sal
low face. He had an enormous appe-
tlte and appeared at every meal. to
which he devoted his whole energies.
The good feeling only seemed to add
to his corpselike appearance. One
evening, sure enough, when we were
about half way to our VOYAGES end
he apparently died again The doctors
took him in charge this time, however.
and he came out of his trance without
any shotted-sack episode. He was met
at the London docks by a number of
and friends, all of whom
looked as If they might be suffering
from the same complaint
