AMERICA TO GET JOB.
POWERS MAY ASK HER TO PA
TRoL MOROCCO.

London, Feb. 1.-THE Statist deals
this week with the Algeciras confer
ence in long leader The article
predicts failure to reach con-
clusion satisfactory to France and
consequently continued uneasiness in
the commercial world, while at the
same time the writer believes that
war will not result. The point of the
Statist's conclusions is that President
Roosevelt alone can save the situa-
ton, lust as he alone was able to
bring about peace between Russia and
Japan
The Statist, after dealing with the
crux of the situation. namely. the DO
Icing of Morocco. upholds Frances
right to demand that she be given
power to maintain order and to main
tain police force. The paper. does
not believe from present indications
that Germany will yield the point, that
country preferring to humiliate
France with the result of tying up for
an indefinite period the immense. sums
of money now held inactive in France.
1.-The small powers" says the arti-
Gle, "are afraid to NEEDLE between
Germany and France. and England
cannot do anything that will be con-
trary' either to the spirit or the letter
Of the Anglo-French agreement.
Russia has too much to do at
home, and Austria-Hungary is too
much distracted. There remains, then,
only the United States. If the United
States is willing to undertake the po-
licing of Morocco everybody will hail
with joy her readiness to assume an
unpleasant responsibility for the sake
of preserving the peace of the world.
Nobody would attempt to dictate to
the United States, yet everybody
knows that the United States is i'm
partial and by undertaking the polio
ing would not entangle herself in
treaties, would not incur any danger
and would not impose upon herself
any gratuitous expense. In turn she
would sweep away the danger of war
between two great European nations
"a war which, If it broke out, would
in all probability spread and ultimate.
ly become world wide. We trust that
for the sake of maintaining the
worlds peace the United States will in
this case willingly depart from its
settled policy"

WILL NOT WITHDRAW TROOPS
FROM CHINA NOW.
POWER WILL AWAIT LATER ISSUE.
OF Present Disturbed Conditions in
Empire - Chinese Minister Does
Not Fear United States = General
Trend of Events in Empire.

Berlin, Feb. 10. = General Tchang
Tcheng, the Chinese minister to Ger
many, in the course of an interview
with the Tageblatt's correspondent on
the disquieting rumors from China,
said that China needed reform in her
head and limbs. Europe, he said, had
been surprised that Japan had be-
come greater than China, whose SOL
diers, and especially those in the
northern part of the empire, compare
physically with the Prussian guards.
Money for army and navy expenses,
he said, should not be considered, as
the population of 400 million could
easily contribute a million where vi
tai interests were touched. China,
the minister continued, strongly
wishes for commercial dealings with
foreign countries, but prefers those
without Chinese colonies. The mis-
sionaries, he added, cause hatred of
foreigners by their tactless presley
ting and the fighting between protest
ants and Catholics.
The minister was asked if the
navy and army achievements. which
the United States is sending to the
Philippines in the expectation of diff
culties with China, might rouse the
Chinese dragon. He replied:
eff the American government sends
reinforcements, who can say it fears
difficulties with China? 1t is all non
sense. l believe the ornaments are
directed against somebody else. l
cannot express myself more definite
ly."
Pekin. =; The trend of events in
China since the powers assented to
Emperor Williams proposal to with
draw the troops from that country
has induced them to reconsider the
matter. With all the governments
except Germany having forces in
north China their withdrawal is now
an open question. Their decision will
depend upon the developments of the
next few months. The foreign resi-
dents in China strongly oppose the
withdrawal Of the troops.
The proposals Of the Chinese in
the negotiations with Russia include
fixing a date for the withdrawal of
the railway guards, the excavation of
Hardin, the REIMBURSEMENT of certain
lands and mines in Manchuria, which
the Chinese claim. that Russia ap-
propriated, and the repayment, with
interest, of five million taels which
China contributed toward the organi-
cation of the Russo-Chinese bank
through the influence of the late Lii
Hung Chang. and which she has since
made several attempts to recover.

Woman's Trials.

The bitter trail in a woman's life is to
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence of this link to bind martial life
together, the absence of this one pledge
TO mutual affection is common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even If they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
of such a. childless couple when they rest
on the children of others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenneSS or child
feSSneSS the obstacle to collaborating is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means o.
restoring health and fruitfulness to many
barren woman, to the great Joy of the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be of a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y, over which
DR.. Pierce of the uFavorite Prescription
fame presides. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace-
ments, prolapsus, Inflammation and de-
bilitatlng, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility, Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
It has to its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi-
ents of which the rFavorite Prescription
is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writer's on Mdterid Medicd of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed In plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. DR.. Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence, which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the rFavorite Prescription is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination.
DR.. Pferce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.

There's boy up in Hoosick Falls,

manhood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts.
1t might have been different with him.
as his mother explains:
my 11-year-oid boy is large, well
developed and active, and has been
made SO by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food. At five years he was
very nervous child and was subject
to frequent attacks of Indigestion
which used to rob him of his strength
and were very troublesome to deal
with. He never seemed to care for
anything for his breakfast until
tried Grape-Nuts, and have never
had to change from that. He makes
his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts
food. 1t is always relished by him
End he says that it satisfies him bet
ter than the ordinary kind of meal
Better than all he is no longer

GIFT FROM SENATORS.
To an Old Employ Who Has Served
Fifty Years.

Tuty
An old employee of the house of re-
personalities is to receive a most sub
stantial testimonial from the members
of the house in March, when he COM
pletes fifty years service. The en-
ploye is Captain John T. Clancy. He
has been on the pay rolls for nearly%
half century, under both Democratic
and Republican organizations. The
testimonial is to be the mortgage on
his home, modest little house on
Capitol hill. He owes between $4,000
and $4,000. The members have made
up fund Of about that amount and
any shortage there may be between
the fund and the amount of the mort
gage when the exact figures are known
will be supplied by the wealthy men,
bers who have the matter in charge.
Captain Clancy is one of those rare
individuals who always knows where
to get what is needed and apparently
to be able to anticipate what will be
asked for. He knows everything about
the papers that are to be found in the
capitol.
