Canada.

Houlton, Me, March l5.The prisoner
named Johnson, who escaped from the
county jail Monday night, after knock
ing the turnkey senseless with an iron
bar, made good his escape to the New
Brunswick side OF the line, covering
the distance of about six miles in a
sleigh which he found on the road half
mile from the Jail He had not been

most of the time, but as they had
only reyolyers, they were unable to

line he left the sleigh and went into
the woods. As Sheriff Bryson was be-
yond his jurisdiction he did not fol-
low, but at once notified the proyin-
cial authorities, who took up the chase
about 8 o'clock. They found tracks
where the man had lain down in the
snow once or twice, and when Mr. Dunn
returned here early yesterday he said
they had traced him to road lead

London, March l5.--The afternoon pa

dial support of President Taft's known
wish for a general Anglo-American arbi-
tration treaty, given in the House OF
Commons Monday night by Sir Edward
Grey.
1t is assumed that the American ex-
ecutive cherishes the hope that an
amendment to the existing arbitration
treaty will remove the present prohibit
ton in article /, against the submits
sion to arbitration OF questions of vital
interest to the two parties or involving
their honor.
The foreign secretary referred TO Pres
ident Taft's recent arbitration speech
as bold, courageous and pregnant with
consequences and added that he be.
lieved that the British government and
Parliament would place the stamp of
their approval upon the sentiments ex-
pressed
The Evening Standard holds that "a
real and natural dual ALLIANCE would be
not that between England and France
or England and Japan, but between Eng
land and the United States If, SAYS
The Standard, these two governments
could agree that the amendments of
one should be available to resist an at
tack upon the other, there could be no
more danger from aggression either in
the Atlantic or Pacific regions.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that Sir
Edwards response to President Taft's
suggestion Carries with it the full
strength Of English feeling and opn.

! Washington, Doctor Gomez, who has
been here several days IN consultation
with Gustave Madero, said
"The revolutionists viii lay down their
arms only when their demands are grant
ed, If the demands are not granted, we
shall continue to fight to the death.
Insurgents Not Worried.
Owe are not worried over the presence
of United States troops in Texas.
owe think that the movement of the
troops is directed against Mexico, as
well as to the smuggling of arms, but
is not purely directed against the insur-
gents. The government is now realizing
the purpose of the movement, and the
whole country is thoroughly alarmed
There are 10000 men under arms in
10 states out Of 3S, favoring the cause
of the insurgents.
SIN addition to our physical strength
actually in the field, we have many
Amerncan men in high places, who are not
only sympathizing with MS in our strug-
gle. but are secretly aiding us with re-
sources"
What may be considered in effect the
official Mexican reply to recent repre-
sensations said to have been made by
the United States. asking as liberal
treatment as possible for Americans
caught bearing arms on Mexican terri
tory, is contained in statement made
here yesterday afternoon by Jose Yves
Limantour, Mexican minister of finance
In substance il is indicated that cap
tured American allies of the revolution
lists will have to take their chances with
Mexican rebel comrades, The intimation
is strong that no preferential treatment
can be accorded them. This is consid-
cred to mean that under martial law
they might be summarily tried and ex
ecuted
Minister Limautour, after reading the
dispatches from I'll Paso, Texs.. outlining
the alleged activities of Americans in
Mexico, particularly in the destruction
of railroad property and in the supply
ing of arms and ammunition, said that
he could not help being greatly annoyed
by such reports, and those Of a similar
character, which he considered only
showed that Americans have been more
active than Mexicans in the capital city
of the insurrectionists In northwestern
Mexico.
He added that Americans who have
allied themselves with the insurrection-
airy movement in Mexico could scarcely
expect protection longer under their own
flag and ii would seem obvious that they
should take their own chances when com
mitting depredations under foreign
flag
Mr.. Limantour said further:--
Il am fully convinced that except for
the sympathy, financial support and ac-
tual participation in conflicts of Ameri-
cans, the instruction in Chihuahua and
Sonora could not long continue Almost
daily one reads of the part taken by
Americans in that insurreetion, and they
are the only known leaders except Me-
dero."

STOMACH DISTRESS
is ENDED FOREVER
Indigestion, Stomach Gas, Heartburn or
Dyspepsia Win Be Relieved In Five
Minutes with d Little
Diapepsin.

Take your sour, out-of order stomach
or maybe you call it Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, gastritis or catarrh of stomach
ii doesn't matter-take your stomach
trouble right with you to your pharma-
eist and ask him to open 50-cent case
OF Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one
22-grain triangule and see if within five
minutes there is left any trace OF your
former misery
The correct name for your trouble is
food fermentation--fo souring; the
digestive organs become weak, there is
lack of gastric juice; your food is only
half digested, and you become affected
with loss of appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, vomiting, nausea,
heartburn, gripping in bowels, tenderness
in the pit of stomach, bad taste in
mouth, constipation pain in limbs,
sleeplessness, belching Of gas, bilious
ness, sick headache, nervousness, dizzi-
ness or many other similar symptoms.
II your appetite is tickle and moth
ing tempts you, or YOU beleh gas, or il
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies like lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause -fermentation of undi-
gested food
Prove to yourself in five minutes that
your stomach is as good as any; that
there is nothing really wrong. Stop this
fermentation and begin eating what you
want without fear OF discomfort or mis-
sery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you II is merely matter of how soon
you take a little Diapepsin.

BOSS MURPHY SEES
DIX AND STANDS PAT
Conference, Which Mayor Gaynor At
tended, Fails to Take Sheehan
Out Of Senatorial Race.

Albany, N. ", March l5 Whether
lit would be better for the Democratic
party to adhere to its time honored
principle of majority rule or to make
concessions to minority by which a
United States senator could be elected,
was the knotty problem discussed at
yesterdays conference at the executive
mansion between Governor Dix, May
or Gaynor of New York and Charles +.
Murphy OF Tammany hall.
Governor Dix, it is understood, took
occasion to impress again upon Mr..
Murphy his view that the deadlock had
retarded legislation and threatens to
prevent the carrying out of his an
nounoed policies of business admin
istration. On that account he is said
to have insisted that some solution of
the problem be found without further
delay.
1t is understood that the governor
frankly stated that he has no reason
to recede from the position taken in
his recent letter to the Democratic
members of the legislature to the eff
feet that the candidacy Of Mr.. Shee-
han seems to be hopeless
Mayor Gaynor, who is known to be
in sympathy with the governors views
on this point, is said to have backed
up the executive fully.
Mr.. Murphy is credited with po-
lite insistence upon the preservation of
the fundamental Democratic principle
OF majority rule and of stating, frank
ly but firmly, that the preservation Of
this principle is matter Of paramount
Importance and that the question is
beyond the power Of the governor, may
or, or himself to debeing func-
tion that the legislature alone is con.
stitutionally' empowered to pass upon.
Summed up in a nutshell, the situa-
ton apparently remains unchanged as
result of the conference, although
Governor Dix reported progress at its
conclusion.

standing constant rumors to the con-

So far as the navy is concerned, it is
declared by officials that the gunboats
on the east and west coasts of Mexico
and Central America are simply exchang-
Ing places.
The patrol work of the troops on the
Mexican border is arduous and trying
and for this reason the war department
Is making plans for relieving those now
there after short tour of duty.
The men who are now doing the work
are to be relieved at intervals, but there
Is no present intention on the part OF
the war department of increasing the

At the navy department it is said the

merely changing places on the west

east coast. Incidentally the vessels were
to touch at Mexican ports to observe
