Nerve Poisoning Through Indigestion.
Prof. Bouchard, the eminent French

these produce effects entirely similar

food is retained in the stomach be-
vond the normal time, either because
of its indigestibility, the taking of too
large a quantity of it, or a crippled

This fact explains very large

If Possibilities Can Be Brought to a Close Nothing Will Be More Satisfactory Than Such
 a consummatlon.

Tokio, July 6-The Emperor delivered an address today to the peace plenpo- tentiaries as follows
 'The President of the United States being grieved to find that the war be- tween Japan and Russia had not been brought to close after the lapse of more than a year, and being impressed with the urgent need, in the interest of peace and humanity, of terminating the conflict has suggested that the two gov ernments appoint plenpotentiaries and cause them to meet together to negotiate peace.
 We were compelled. contrary to our expectation, to resort to arms, despite our constant abiding wish for peace, and if in consequence of the conciliatory spirit of our opponent hostiities could be brought to an end, nothing would be more satisfactory than such consumma- tion.
 Accordingly, We at once accept the suggestion of the President of the United States, and we hereby charge you with the mission of negotiating and concluding peace You should devote yourselves with all of your power to discharge your mis- sion. and make every effort to secure the reestablishment of peace on a durable basis

DEVLIN WANTS TO
 BECOME BANKRUPT
TOPEKA B..NkIR FILES vOLUN- TARY PETITION ON GROUND HAT IT WILL cENTRALIzE THE HANDLING OF HIS AFFAIRS.

Topeka, Kan, July 6--C. J. Devlin to- night filed in the United States district court voluntary petition in bankruptcy. This action was decided upon at q lengthy conference this afternon between MT Devlin and his attorneys. MT. Dew lin was in favor of the move because 1t would centralize the handling of all his properties and make easier the settle ment of all his creditors, the principal one of which is the First National bank.
 Judge Pollock granted the petition and said he would appoint receiver for the property tomorrow. The statement of Devlin's attorneys Is given as follows
 gro the First National bank of Topeka, Kas., about $1,200,O00.
 Central bank of Topeka, about ssO0, ,000
 American National Bank of Kansas City, about s263.000
 National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City. about $20O,000.
 Corn Exchange National Bank of Chicago, about $150.000.
 "Contlnental National bank of Chicago. about s150,000
 Central Trust company of Chicago, about S70,000.
 Bank of Topeka. Topeka. about s3O,00O.
 Union National Bank of Kansas City. about 800.
 "Hirsch. St. Louis, about s5O0O.
 Merchants National Bank of Topeka. about 5000.
 Long Brothers. Kansas City. about 5000.
 Southwestern Fuel company of To- peka about $13s,000
 Fourth National Bank of St. Louis. about S2OO OO0''
 First National Bank of Toluca. H.. the Spring Valley National Bank of Spring Valley. Ill.,. and two national banks of the city of New York. whose names the petitioners do not know, amounts not given.
 T. J. Bradley receiver of the failed First National bank. said today that the money received for deposit within two or three days before the institution closed would become a part of the regular de- posits and could not be considered pre- ferred. This money. it was stated at the time of the failure, was set aside by the bank officials to avoid criminal proceed ings against them for accepting deposits when the bank was in falling condition
 There was a better feeling about the state house today following the dis covery that the state holds the bonds of a surety company for 3250.0O0 to Insure it against loss of money on deposit in the bank in process of collection. This means that at least one-half of the states money in the bank Is safe.

Oyster Bay, Long Island July 6.-While no official confirmation is obtainable here of the announcement that Elhu Root has accepted President Roosevelts proffer of the Secretaryship of State, in sue cession of John Hay. it can be said that the President will authorized a statement to be made tomorrow regarding the mat ter. The precise nature of the state ment Is not known.
 Mir Root boarded the Presidents special train at Jersey City -ust before It left for Cleveland at 5:45 o'clock Tuesday af- ternoon. While the members of the Pres- idents cabinet retired to their apart ments on the train at an early hour Tuesday night, the President and MT. Boot remained in conference for several hours. Then it was that the President preached the subject of MT. Roots return to the cabinet All phases of the situation were considered carefully, but at that lime MT. Root did not indicate definitely that he would accept the portfolio of Sec retary of State.
 On the return journey their conference was interrupted by the mission on which they had gone to Cleveland, but after ward resumed. A formal tender of the Secretaryship of State. vacated by MT. Hay. was made to Root. His acceptance of the proffer announced in New York today. is believed to be without any reser- vation at all difficult to overcome.
 The duties of the Secretary of State appeal strongly to MT. Root. On one or two occasions, notably during the boxer revolt, he attended in the absence of Secretary Hay from Washington to many details of the state department work. in connection w-'th his duties as Secretary of, War, and he enjoyed the experience.

 pisnatches received from the governor os s,mferopol who is executing the de- o.ee of martial law at Theodosia say that oho,t half of the Kniaz Potemkine' crew das,.ed to surrender but they are prevent oa from doing so by the revolutionists

ONE REPUBLICAN,
 FAVORS REVISION
Representative Brick of Indiana Thinks Lower Duties Will Bring In
 More Revenue.

Washington. July .-(Special.)-Repre- sentative Brick of Indiana, who is here tonight, believes the next session will enact railroad legislation. He is also in favor of tariff revision and is one of the few republicans who are.
 '"I am far from desiring to get on a rampage of ripping schedules indiscrim- inately,' said he. But everybody knows that some changes are not only desirable but highly expedient from business standpoint. These notifications ought to be made without hurting business, and 1t would have been wiser had the last Con gress taken the matter up. Still begin- ming must be made. and 1 consider that to delay revision is bad faith for the country and the party in power. Besides the deficit in the national finances show need of greater income and a lowering of duties on certain imports will undoubt- edly bring an increase of revenue"

Authorities Are Well Informed.

Odessa, July 6, Il p. m.-The authorities ora well informed about the movements and operations of the Kniaz Potemkine at inc various Black. Sea ports. As the on,n,on prevails here that she will nor rat,rn to menace Odessa, the Odessans, ofs;cia, andp rivate, view her doings in +arestinelv but not copied with any par ticular alarm.
 The fact that the Kniaz Potemkine is still at large, cruising in the Black sea, threatening ports and holding up steam CTS and other craft, is beginning to bring criticism on the naval authorities owing to their apparent slowness and lack of energy in pursuing and putting an end to her piratcal career, although the whereabouts of the battleship has never been a secret
 If the fleet is in earnest 1t can easily meet the renegade vessel within a com paratively few hours. The belief is gen. eral, however. and there is general con- drmation of 1t that the main difficulty confronting the fleet regarding the Kniaz Fptemkine is in the fact that the crews of the ships are strongly disinclined to entage the mutineer battleship. It is re- pofsed on good authority that their crews hav actually refused to attack her.
