Credentials of Russian Enjoys Must
Show They Are Empowered
With Plenary Powers.
IF They DON'T, CONFERENCE WILL
COME TO An end RIGHT THERE
The Situation Apparently Has
Changed Since Mr.. SatO's Inspired
Interview of July 25-Japan Re-
sists All Efforts to Bring About
an Armistice.

New York, July 31.-The entire peace
fabric, which is being laboriously con-
structed between Russia and Japan,
will fall to earth at the first meeting
Of the peace plenipotentiaries, unless
the credentials Of the Russian ENJOYS
show that they are endowed with
plenary powers.
Japan's ENJOYS will make it their
first business at the Portsmouth con-
ference to examine the credentials OF
their conferees on the other side.
If they don't give Nj. Witte and
Baron ROsen full power TO net, the
conference will come to an end
right there.
Mr.. Sato, spokesman for the japanese
ENJOYS, innocently and in an offhand
way made this highly important ad-
mission:
ut will be the first business of the
Japanese ENJOYS to see their exact
status-to examine their credentials,
and ascertain if they are empowered to
treat" he said.
In this connection there is signifi-
canoe in the fact that Japan has resist
ed all efforts to bring about an armis-
lice. President Roosevelt has labored
in vain to this end, and the plain in
tent of the japanese in declining all
ventures to that end was not to sacri-
fee any of the advantages which the
brilliant campaign from the Yalu to
Mukden have conferred upon the Jap
aGese armies.
In his inspired interview of the 25th,
Mr.. Sato said that the first business
Of the peace conference would be to
arrange for an armistice. Apparently
the situation has changed since then.
Baron Komura is constantly in receipt
of messages from Toxic, and Mr.. Sato
admitted that the senior Japanese en-
voy is kept informed of every move
inert made where the two great armies
| face each other.
The news dispatches tell of a con-
| slant stream of troops being rushed
forward to the reinforcement OF
Linevitch.
Private dispatches TO Baron Komura
may have told of even more significant
movements. At all events, Mr.. Sato
now says that the first business of the
Japanese ENJOYS will be to learn the
exact status of the Russian ENJOYS
and to ascertain if they are empowered
to act. All these seem to indicate that
the japanese are already putting into
practice the lessen learned at the last
peace conference in which they partic-
'pated, when, after the treaty had been
fully drawn up, they were robbed OF
the choicest morsel of victory. So, I'M
til the point is settled, subject finally
of course, to the approval of the czal
and the mikado, there will be no arms.
tice and no forward movement toward
peace
Mr.. Sato gratuitously threw in
warning to the Russians at the end Of
his interview Somebody spoke of The
desirablity of Russia moving quickly
in the interests of peace for the sake
Of her army
IF she wants to save her army she
hould act quickly" said Mr., Sato.

KING OSCAR FEARS WAR
IL the People Feel That Sweden Can
Be Avenged Only BY War, He
Will Sanction Their Will.

Stockholm, July 2S.-King Oscar re-
ceived a correspondent in private au-
dience in the royal palace, Stockholm.
His majesty said:

sire to allow personal ambitions,

ceptance of Norway's invitation, to

Large sections of my loyal Swedish
subjects feel these demands represent
the minimum Sweden can accept in
satisfaction of the blow Norway has
dealt our national honor. If Norway
rejects these proposals and my people
feel that Sweden can be avenged only
by war, ] shall have no other alterna-
tive except reluctantly to sanction
their sovereign will"

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes OF headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in.
which they express their weakness. In,
colds the blood absorbs poison from the.
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates'
the nerves and produces pain. LII rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison,
in the blood produces like discomfort. In,
Indigestion the gases from the impure,
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden.
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head.
aches caused by anemia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr.
Williams Pink Pills did me great deal
of good. I had headache nearly all the
time. After had taken three boxes Of
these pills became entirely we'll.
"How long had you suffered 2" she
was asked.
"For several years. ! can't tell the
exact date when my illness began for ii
came on by slow degrees. I had been
going down hill for many years."
"Did you have any other ailments?'
"Iwas very weak and sometimes Ihad
fever. My liver and kidneys were af-
fected as well as my head"
"How did you come to take the rem
edy that cured you?'''
II saw in southern newspaper o
statement of some person who was cured
of like trouble by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. My physician hadn't done me any
good, so bought q box of these pills.
After had taken one box I felt SO much
better that l kept on until / became en-
tirely we'll"
Miss Blocker's home is at Leander,
Louisiana. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
sold by all druggists. Besides headache
they cure neuralgia, sciatica, nervous
prostration, partial paralysis and rheu-
matism.
