Il U4TERW4Y FEAST.
Conuention 4djourns - To
March on Washington.

New Orleans, Nov. 2.-The delegates TO
the waterways convention had a novel ex-
perience here this afternoon. when they
were entertained at dinner in the floating
drydock at the United States naval station
the largest structure of the kind in the
world. After final adjournment of the con-
vention all the boats available were pressed
into service to convey the delegates to the
dock. On the sides of the dock two torpedo
boats, laid up for repairs, rested high and
dry. Long tables, capable Of accommodat-
ing five thousand persons. had been set.
The menu embraced typical Southern dishes
OF all kinds. The commercial bodies of
New Orleans want the drydock made still
larger and took this method of showing
the delegates what they already have.
Whether there ever will be another con-
vention of the Lakes-to-th Deep
Waterways Association depends on what
action Congress takes at the next session.
If the committee of five hundred cannot
induce Congress to provide funds for the
project the executive committee Of the as
sociation is authorized 10 select the place
of meeting Of the next convention and fix
the day. This was decided on at the last
session Of the association this afternoon
Representative Richard Bartho1dt. of St
Louis, proposed that the committee of five

"a Subcommittee of twelve be named 10

Bartholdt explained that a committee OF
five hundred could not get into the White
House or any of the committee rooms.
We'll, let them stand outside" said
Governor Francis of Missouri. They will
be able to stand in the corridors"
The convention agreed with Mr.. Francis.

DISCUSS REJECTION OF BUDGET.

London, Nov. 16.-The terms of Lord Lansowne's motion to reject the budget, of which he gave formal no tice in the house of lords today. were communicated to Premier Asquith at an early hour and discussed by the cabinet council during the course of the day. The unionists anticipate that 300 peers will support Lord Lans- owne, while the supporters of the gov ernment in the house of lords number only forty.
 On the rejection of the budget it is expected that the premier will move in the house of commons resolution strongly condemning the peers action affirming the sole right of the house of commons 10 deal with the matters of taxation and declaring that the peers attempt to force a dissolution to be unconstitutional.

PRESIDENT zELAYA
 WIN VICTORIES ARE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY GOVERNMENT OCCUPIES GREYToWN. Reports Received by the Government Show That the United States
 Interests Are Cared for.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, Nov. 10.
 -(Via New Orleans, La, Nov. 16)- As many conflicting accounts of re- cent engagements between the reyolu- tionary and government forces in Mi caragua has been reported here, the Associated Press correspondent wired President Davila of Honduras for tho latest official news from Nicaragua and received the following reply:
 Tegucigalpa, Nov. 10-Answering your telegram, l beg to inform you that the government of Nicaragua has communicated to this government an other triumph over the revolutionary forces at the junction of the river Col orado and river San Juan, where Gen. eral Salvador Toledo in a battle that lasted three days defeated and dis lodged General Chamorro. The gov ernment troops now occupy Greytown.
 This information you can construe as verified, otherwise I would not transmit it, because falsehoods are re- pugnant to me and serve no good pur- pose. M. R. DAVII4A. General Chamorro is believed to have about 800 men, while the Nicara- guan forces number about 1.500, aside from garrisons at Bluefelds, Grey town and Cabo Gracios Adios
 It is probable that Chamorro has fallen back to effect junction with the army that General Estrada is lead ing. It is conceded here that although General Estrada will make desper- ate struggle to regain lost ground, the odds against him are very great American interests Protected. Bluefields, Nicaragua, Nov. 16.-- tBy Wireless, Via Colon. )--The pro- yisional government in transacting af. fairs in an orderly manner here and ali American interests are fully pro- ltected. zelaya's troops still hold Greytown, but General Chamorro,
 with a large force of Eevolutionists, has a well fortified position on the
 beach. He is also guarding the San
 Juan river in order to prevent the government troops from proceeding into the interior.
 Prisoners in the hands of General
 chamorro say that many of the gov ernment soldiers are sick and that the others are losing courage on ac- count of the exhausting marches be- ing made through swamps.
 There are no signs of the emmy, ac- cording to advices' received by the in
 suggents at Rama, where large force of Estrada's men await an at tack by land.

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM.
vice and the Generous Offer That Goes With 1t.

The number of diseases peculiar to women is such that we believe this space would hardly contain a mere
 mention of their names, and it Is a
 fact that most of these diseases are of catarrhal nature. A woman can
 not be we'll if there is trace of ca tarrh in her system.
 Some women think there is no help for thew. We positively declare this to be mistaken idea We are so sure of this that we offer to supply medicine absolutely free of all cost in every instance where 1t fails to
 give satisfaction, or does not substan- tiate our claims With this under. standing, no woman should hesitate to believe our honesty of purpose. or hesitate to put our claims to test. There is only one way to overcome cata1ah. That way is through the
 blood. You may use all the snuffs, douches or like remedies for years without getting more than temporary relief at best. Catamh in general is a diseased condition of the system that shows locally most frequently in discharges from mucous membranes. Local treatment should be assisted by internal treatment for the general dis. eased condition if a complete cure is to be reached. That internal treat. went should be scienticicaIly devised and faithfully administered.
 Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically prepared from the prescription of an eminent physician wls for thirty years made catarrh his specialty. This remedy is admirably adapted to the treatment of the catarrhal ailments of women. It pusifies and enriches the blood, tends to stop mucous discharg- es. aids in removing impurities from the system, soothes, heals and strengthens the mucous tissues, and brings about feeling of health and strength.
 We want you to try Rexall Mucu. Tone on our guarantee. If you are not benefited. or for any reason not satisfied, simply tell us and we will hand back your money. RexaIl Mucu.
