OUTLINE OF TREATY
COURT OF JUSTICE FOR CENTRAL
 AMERICAN COUNTRIES.
All Controversies VIII Be Settled in
 This Court Instead of By Bloody Battle as Herete-

Washington. Dec, 12-The first Tor 1 nal outcome of the Central American Peace Conference now sitting here, ane probably the most important to result from that conference. was made public today in the form of an abstract or the general treaty agreed upon by the delegates, providing for the establish ment of a permanent court to settle all disputes that may arise between the countries of Central America.
 The work of the conference in this respect acquires an importance apart from that which attaches to the con servation of the peace in Central America for the reason that the agree ment announced today probably will if it should work satisfactorily, be adopted as the basis for the creation of the general International Court con- templated in the declaration of the re- cent Hague conference. In outline this Central American treaty is as fol- lows:
 The high contracting parties in order to avoid the employment of force Tor the settlement of disputes, agree to establish the Central American Court of Justice to which they bind them selves to submit all controversies or questions that might arise between them if the respective foreign depart ments cannot settle them.
 The court shall also have jurisdic- tion over such questions as individuals of one Central American country may raise against any or the contracting governments on account of the viola tion of treaties, conventions and other cases of international character. no matter whether such individual government supports such cases or not provided of course that he has ex- hausted his legal remedies afforded him by the law of the country of which he is complaining.
 The court also has Jurisdiction over such cases as may be vofuntari- ly submitted by any two of the said governments.
 It shall also have jurisdiction over such questions as any one of the Gen. tral American governments may agree with any foreign government to sub init to it.
 The court shall sit at Cartago, Costa Rica, but may change the place of residence for sufficient reasons.
 The court consists of five judges, one named by each republic from the most prominent jurists.
 The treaty is to remain in force for ten years.

Georgetown. Ky. Dec. ls.--The Pow CTS trial dragged today. The cross- examination of Youtsey was concluded early in the day and he was passed to the prosecution for rebuttai but States Attorney Franklin declined to exam inc him further until the defense had Introduced witness for contradiction of his testimonyas 1t indicated 1t would. " At 2:15 pm. state'ss Attorney Frank In sannonassd that ths commonwealth yciosed it's ease.
 In his epenlns statement to the jury in behalf of Powers. Attorney Sims of the defense. today asserted that proof would be offered as to who fired the shot that caused the death of Senator Goebel. Continuing. he said
 Our line of defense is that the mountain armies were not taken to Frankfort to kill Goebel or any one else and that the assassination of Goe- bel did not result from that meeting; no harm came to Senator Goebel from the mountain men. but that Henry Youtsey fired the shot and that How ard was not in the office of the Secre- tary of State on the morning of the tragedy."
 In thisi statement was fulalied the regent promise of Powers that he would at the proper time announce the name and prove who killed Senator Goebel.
 The defense will build its whole line of testimony on the idea that Youtsey himself mmitted the crime without the knowledge or consent of Powers and others who are alleged to be close ly connected with the tragedy. Pow ers's counsel accused Youtsey of hav- ing made false accusations against his best friend.

FAVORABLEEVDENCE
GEN. ESUAoPATKIN TEsTIrIEs AT
 sTOESsnL TRIAL.
His Evidence Caused Somewhat of . SensatiOn When He Told How In-
 complete Was Port Arthur's

St. Petersburg. Dec. i2--General Ku- ropatkfn testified today at the trial by court Haffial of Lieutenant General Stoessel and other army officers cf high rank. charged with needlessly surrendering Port Arthur to the Jap sation in the court room.
 He declared that the Japanese could have taken Port Artheur by assault in the ~aviN davs cf the war The de- lenses were then so incomplete, Gener- al Kuropatkin said, that the fortress must have fallen at the first vigorous attack. but the slowness of the Japan- ese and the resistance made by the ar my in the field gave the Russians time to improvise defense works which had withstood the Japanese for months. On. the other hand, General kuropatkin's evidence was favorable to General Stoessel.
 The conduct of General Fock, who is charged with the responsibility for tn 6 defeat at Nan Chan and the subsequent retirement to Port Arthur, also was reviewed by the court and the evil dence of General Kuropatkin was very helpful to this officer as well. Gener- al Kuropatkin declined to answer sev- eral question: on the ground that to do so would make known military se- crets, but he did say that the whole ptan or the war was DdSed upon tHS supposed invincibility of the Russian fleet and that the original scheme for the defense of Port Arthur could not be carried out successfully after the squadron had been crippled by the ''treacherous opening attack of the Japanese
 According to the indictment, Gener- al Fock'r retirement from Nsnchan jeopardized the fortress, but General Stoessel produced orders from Gener- al Kuroratkin and Vieeroy Aliexiff jus tffying Foek's retirement and he ob- tained the admission from General Ku- ropatkin that the position was unten- able without the assistance of the fleet
 Over the fleet General Stoessei had TO authority.
 The name of former yiceroy Alex fir, who has declined to appear as a witness, was mentioned continually to- day in an unfayorable light ana ripple of meFriment was provoked by 8 phrase in one of his orders saying 'The chief task Of Fock Is to retreat at the proper time"
 General Kuropatkin did not conceal his animosity toward the former Vice. roy and declared that Aliexiff had for bidden him to visit the fortress be- fore the siege.

Appendicitis
How To Avoid It and Escape . Surgi- cal Operation, Told By One
 Who Knows.

4 simple Method That Is Always Em. eaciOus. It has only been a few years sine, | 1t was discovered that & surgical op eration would cure appendicitis; 1T | fact, it has been but 8 short time named. Whenever there is an infiamed con dition of the appendix, caused by i'm. pacted faeces in the small cavity open. ing into the intestine, you then have appendicitis.
 The older doctors used to call this inflammation of the bowels, and were puzzled to know the cause.
 Even now. with all the knowledge we have of the disease no medical man can tell you why we should have an appendix, why we find it. where 1t is or what are it's functions. if 1t has any.
 The disease for which the operation Is cure Is usually caused by tndi- gestion. and in many cases follows a large and indigestible meal.
 Physicians have until recently rec commended an operation. but \now. as it is known that 1t is caused by indi. gestion. or dyspepsia. a cure without an operation IS assured.
 Where the patient is treated with Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. the un. healthy conditions prevailing rapidly disappear, the stomach and intestinss are placed back In their normal con dition, every organ of the body oper. ates as 1t should, and the inflammation is reduced and the operation is avoid ed.
 Conscientious physicians. who are looking after the best interests of their patients, will always keep a SUD- ply of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy In their office, where in cases of sudden attacks of indigestion they can relieve the patient at once,
 There is no record of case of ap- pendicitis where the stomach and bowels were in a healthy condition and properly digested the food from meal to meal.
 No better advice can be given to any one who has attacks of indigestion, or who has been threatened with ap- pendicitis, than to tell him to go to the drug store, pay 50 cents, and take home a package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Whenever heartburn, gas in stom- ach or bowels. heart disease or stom- ech troubles. sour eructions. acidity or 'ermentation are present, act at once. Take a dose of the Tablets and get re- lief as soon as possible.
 At all druggists-50 cents.

sr revolutionary chief named Garvan-
 Boris sarafon was appointed com. mander of the Macedonian revolutiona- forces that made so much trouble tn the summer of 1903. His name was prominent in all the uprisings in Mac edonia against the Turks and he has been described as the most romantic ngure in the Balkans. He was popular " believed and stated to have been the real tnstigator of the abduction of Miss Ellen M Stone, the American missionary. from the village of Salon tki. Tn September. 1901. in order to pro- cure the ransom funds to enable the Macedonian revolutionary committee to organize ahe insurrection.
 HIS hatred of the Turks was imbibed at an early age through seeing his father and grand father tortued. drag ged on in chains to a dungeon and then esiied Tor afteen years. At the age of fourteen ple attacked single handed the prison fin which his father and grand father were kept but was fog- ged for his pains.
 The boy swore to revenge himself on the Turks and studied to this end, becoming an oficer in the Bulgarian army. In 1895 Sarafoff organized a band to raid Turkish Turkey and since then he has headed no less than $50 daring raids. Once he captured the Turkish town of Meinik with forty men putting the garrison to flight.
 Sarafon was familer with hundreds of miles Of tracks through forests and ov- CT the mountains of Turkey. His aim was the organization of vast retri- button. with the object of setzing Con stantinople and overthrowing the Turk ish rule. The Turkish government set a price of $20.000 on his head. He was about thirty-seven years old.
 The murderer is believed to be a man named Panitza, nephew of the noto- rious Major Panitza, who was executed by shooting in 1890 for conspiracy to assassinate Prince Ferdinand and cer- tain members of the Bulgarian cabi- net.
 The crime is attributed to dissen- siops arising from differences of opin- ion regarding the disposal of money subscribed to the Macedonian cause.
 The police are searching for Panitza but have not yet found him.

IMMUNITY FOR RUFF.
He May Take Stand and Tell Truth
 About Bribery Cases


 San Francisco, Dec. i2.-Former Su- pervisor James Gallagher, an import ant witness in the bribery trial of Pat rick Calhoun, President of the United Railways, which on account of his ab- sence. has been postponed until Janu- ary T. has telegraphed to Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Heney from Chicago that he will be here next Tuesday night.
 From a statement made by Heney it is believed that the prosecution is con tempiating granting Abraham Ruef immunity in order to successfully pros ecute the bribery-graft cases by get ting him to take the stand and furnish the link between Supervisor James T.. Gallagher and public service corpora tions. who through Ruef are alleged to have done the hribing.
 While not sa! in so many words that Ruefs de..4and for immunity would be granted, District Attorney Heney said today:
 Two juries have declared that Ruers testimony is necessary to re- turn a verdict of guilty and that with out 1t the evidence is not complete enough to convict. Public opinion seems to demand that Ruef shall tes- tify even if he has to be granted im- munity. If the public wants 1t, 1t may be necessary to put Ruef on the stand on these terms. But I am not saying this will be done" ---

 "1n Africa" he said. negroes out number the whites in the proportion or nve million to one thousand. How to educate them is as grave a question there as in America Our greatest trouble is to induce them to work with their hands in the trades The hope of the negro race lies in manual la hor.
