pany was paid, the principal and in

The most important letter was from
Senator Depew, who states explicitly
his part in the transaction between
the Improvement company and the
Equitable society and points out what
he declares are inaccuracies in pub
lished statements through which
grave injustice has been done him.

NEW TREATY WILL
SOON Be READY

Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 2.-It is
now expected that the text of the
peace treaty will be completed by to-
day of Sunday. Full summaries, If
not the actual text, will then be cab
led to Toxic and St. Petersburg for
the approval of the respective govern
ments, and by Tuesday, or Wednes-
day at the latest, M. White and Baron
Komura expect to receive final auth
ority to affix their signatures. The
subsequent exchange of ratification
by the two governments will be simp-
ly formality.
The ceremony of signing the treaty
of Portsmouth" will be as quiet and
transformations as possible. Both
sides desire to avoid any spectacular
features. Both realize that, for diff
fereRt reasons, the treaty will not be
popular in their respective countries.
In Japan, especially. there is expected
to be a great popular outcry.

LOCK CANAL TO Be
RECOMMENDED
Expected That Consulting
Engineers Will
Favor il.
IN SESSION IN WASHINGTON
Gould Be Constructed In From Six
to Eight Years-Held That II Would
Be Much Cheaper and Would An
swer All Present Needs.

Washington, d. c. Sept. 1.-The
question of whether sea level or
a lock canal is to be constructed on
the isthmus has become the subject
of acute discussion here, In view OF
the meeting Of the board of consult
ing engineers appointed by the pres
ident. All signs now point to the
fact that the canal will recommend a
lock canal, which can be constructed
In six or eight years. II Is acknowl-
edged that there Is tremendous public
pressure in favor of sea level can
al, but on the authority of various
members of the board now meeting
and of the members of the canal COM
mission, the sentiment of nearly all
the engineers who have had anything
to do with the canal is In favor OF the
SEX structure.
1t is held that 1t would not only be
quicker of construction, but much
cheaper and would answer all pres
ent needs Of commerce. Scarcely
any of the members OF the board or
of the canal commission is willing to
say In public what kind Of canal he
advocates. Only one Of the foreign
engineers who has done so is j. w.
Welcker of the Netherlands, that
governments foremost engineer, who
has charge OF protecting the country
from the ravages Of the sea by Hol-
lands great dyke system. He Is en-
phatic for lock canal.
Washington. Sept. 2.-Eminent en-
gineers OF America and Europe met
yesterday upon the call of President
Roosevelt to investigate and make
recommendations as to the type Of
canal that is to connect the waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Stop Preaching About War.

Mount Lebanon. N. Y, Sept. L.
At the Shakers peace convention yes
terday, DR.. PEBBLES presented figures
OF the loss of life and cost to nations
of wars. To abolish war he made the
following recommendations
Cease preaching the doctrine of an
eye for an eye and praising Jehovah
as god of battle; disband the boys
brigades, which breed and encourage
wars; give suffrage to woman, who
will voice her sentiments for peace;
cease to resurrect yearly the war
ghosts OF Yorktown and Bunker Hill.
There should be no more boasting
verbiage about whipping the British.
True patriotism, said the speaker,
does not consist of noise and blood
shed, but in justice aglow with mercy
and equal opportunities for all.

GUST THE DEMON.
A TussIe with Coffee.


There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks it's fendish malice on those
who use it.
A lady writing from Calf says
MY husband and /, both lovers of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort Of af-
lection Of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
81 was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as
to what caused the trouble, until a
friend suggested that possibly the cot
fee we drank had something to do
with 1t, and advised that we quit 1t
and try Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in
a very short time both of us were
entirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
ceased, the muscles in the back of my
neck relaxed, my head Strengthened
up and the dreadful pain that had so
punished me while used the old kind
of coffee vanished.
I'VE have never resumed the use of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the
former beverage. And we are de-
lighted to find that we can give 1t
freely to our children also, something
we never dared to do with the old
kind of coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely
no drugs of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug

There's a reason.

new TREATY BETWEEN
ENGLAND And JAPAN

London, Sept. 2.-The New Anglo
Japanese treaty signed Aug. IL con-
tains an important provision which
it is believed will prevent the carry
ing out of any policy of revanche by
Russia. This provision binds either
power to come to the assistance Of
the other If attacked by one, instead
of, as in the old treaty, by two pow
ers. This, it is thought, will guaran-
tee the permanency of the terms Of
