Devlin has completed his investigation
of the great combine and its methods,
and he is satisfied that trust does ex-
let. All the information in the pos
session of the government prosecutor

are many witnesses to be examined In
the case, and these will be subpenaed
to appear before the body during the
course OF the investigation.
Lumbermen state that the price OF
timber has reached its highest mark
and the action OF the government will
probably cause a decline. An authorl-
ty on the situation this morning stated
that lumber prices will drop November
/, and the succeeding months will see
gradual decline in all grades OF build
ing material. This lumberman states
that the decrease is partially due to the
settlement of the sailors strike. he
SAWS that timber can now be brought
into San Francisco at much lower rates
than heretofore, and can also be hand
led much more rapidly.

Consul General steinhart and Ca, t,in
Mccoy, when the mediators called the
attention Of the Cuban administration
to the status OF the peace negotiations
with the Liberals and insurgents. The
conference adjourned at IL O'CLOCK to
be resumed today.
The peace terms proposed are known
to be against the government. The
visit to the palace of the American
commissioners was therefore not par
ticuiarly pleasant. On departing. Mr..
Taft announced that the conference had
resulted only in exchange OF opinions
and that another meeting was neces
sary. The big doors Of the palace clos.
ed as usual at II o'clock, but the presi-
dent and members Of the cabinet re-.
NAMED in conference long after that
hour.
At the conclusion Of long conference
between a committee OF the insurgents
OF eight members and the American
peace commissioners, the insurgent
committee announced that there was
practically no difference remaining be
tween it and Messrs. Taft and Bacon,
and that they would receive draft Of
the peace terms today. These probab.
ly would be agreed to at a meeting t
be held in tie Preside, where the pris.
oner members Of the committee are
confined.
Mr.. Taft said he could give no de
tails OF what transpired at the confer
ence, for he reason that it was neces
aary to treat with the government lead
era and that the publication Of tn
peace proposals might interfere will
their prompt acceptance.

There Was an Old woman, Etc.
A stout little woman on an East

anxiousIy for seats for the children

girls had babies in their arms, accord

on the car did not know whether 1t

she kept her eye on all other members
Of her party.
But there are nine without them"
said the conductor, apologetically. Per-
haps he really thought the woman had
only eight tickets.
"Stand up children" commanded the
little woman. She was imperious In
her command, and Immediately after
her order to stand up they all arose to
their feet.

Reaction in Trepoff's Favor.
st. Petersburg, Sept. "a. - Active
work in the autumn electoral campaign
was inaugurated by the Octoberists,
who today opened the Kazan congress
with delegates from IL of the Volga
provinces and the vast central districts
Of Russia in attendance. Alexander
Guchkoff, the Octoberist leader, was
present, laboring tooth and nail.
Owing to failure of the 0ctobeTists to
obtain official sanction, the congress
was held behind closed doors and mem.
bers of the press were excluded.
In pursuance of the decision Of the
government to permit the national con-
gress of the Constitutional Democratic
party anywhere except in st. Peters
burg, the administration has permitted
the reopening of Constitutional Demo
cratic clubs in Moscow and elsewhere,
but persists in its determination to
suppress political agitation in the capt.
tai. The most remarkable development
Of the week has been the change in SEN
timent concerning the late General
Trepoff. The universal chorus Of NAL
ediction and condemnation has given
place since his death to a non. partisan
appreciation Of his real merits and de-
fects, and his career has been the sub
ject OF fair and even Mandatory criti
cisms in nearly all circles. NJ. Mem
chinski, prominent writer and pub
Usher, who was recently suppressed
bnt who is now contributor to Here
lon, gives the following verdict on thu
basis of lifelong acquaintance with thu
dead man:
General Trepoff was an excellen
man and a good official, though b.
sometimes violated his own conviction
because of false notion OF soldier,
obedience. He would have made
splendid soldier, but lacked thorough
] education and, above all, the prepare
ton necessary Tor the political activit
thrust upon him. He possessed, how
ever, one great asset, lacking in all con

UMA7lSM
ALMOST AS COMMON In SUMMER AS In WINTER

While the damp cold, changing weather of
Winter intensfes the pains and other disagreeable
symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means
winter disease exclusively. Through the long
motshs of Summer its wandering pains and witch
ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric
acid which produces the disease, has accumulated.
Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en-
tire system It's primary cause results from the
failure Of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid
neys and Bowels, to carry out OF the system the
urea or natural refuse matter. This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid fermentation of the blood,
making it sour. and unfit for properly nourishing
the body, and this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrb
uted to all parts The nervous system weakens
from lack of rich pure blood, the skin becomes fe-
verish and swollen the stomach and digestion are
affected, the appetite fails and general diseased
condition of the entire system is the result.
Not only is Rheumatism the most painful Of
all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing
muscles and singing nerves. but it is a formidable
and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed
