After Conference Between
Foreign Representatives
Paris Expects Redress;
Lloyds Gamble on War.

Rome, Jan. 24.-The Marquis Di San
Giuiano, the Italian foreign minister
and Camille Barrere, the French am
bassador to Italy, had an interview to-
day at which the question Of the cap
ture of the Turkish doctors and nurses
from the French steamer Manouba
was fully discussed. The Italian for
eign minister expressed regret that
the incident should even have threat
ened the cordial relations that existed
between France and Italy. .s.f
Paris Hears Italy Has Backed Down.
Paris, Jan. PA dispatch from
Rome says that the italian govern
ment has given orders that the Turks
taken from the French steamer Man
ouba shall be released. No confirma-
fetal quarters.
Lloyd CANDLES on War.
London, jan 24-The activity of
Italian war vessels in the Mediter-
rean and Red seas is causing increas-
ing uneasiness in shipping insurance
circles. Several large insurance deals
have been effected during the last two
days at Lloyds in this connection. A
premium of five per cent was accepted
to cover the risk of an outbreak of
hostilities between France and Italy
and although there is no apparent rea-
son for such an occurrence, premium
of six per cent was paid on the risk
of the outbreak of war between Great
Britain and France and Germany with
in the next six months. The Italian
action in stopping steamers irrespec-
tive of their nationality seizing and
searching them for Turkish officers and
contraband is believed to be an evi-
dence of the determination of the
italian government to put an end to
the Turkish resistance in Tripoli as
speedily .Rs possible s,r:s;:; a 80
It is thought, however, that the
Italian activity may give rise to com.
plications with those European powers
whose shipping is put to inconven-
ience.
So far no action has been announced
by the British government In regard to
the seizure by the Italians of mum.
ber of Turkish officers, including the
famous Col. Ria Bey. from the British
steamer Africa, in the Red Sea. AS,
however, the declaration of London,
which would permit such seizure, has
not been ratified by Great Britain, a
move may be made at any time.
The stoppage Of the Austrian Lloyd
steamer Bregenz yesterday in the Red
Sea is regarded here as likely to lead
to an exchange of views between
Austria and Italy. .=
Americans Seek Safety.
London, Jan. 24.-The American
minister at Pekin has called in all
Americans living in outlying parts of
the city, according to News agency
dispatch from Tien Tsin today. The
friction between the Manchu troops of
the imperial army and Yuan Shi Kai's
force Of Chinese troops is constantly
increasing and serious conflict may
be precipitated at any moment.

HADLEY'S MOVE IS
PUZZLE TO TAFT
Friends Of Administration Considered
Missouri Governor In Their Camp;
He Had Intimated Such Was Case

Washington, D c., jan 24.-Friends
Of the administration ySsefe surprised
today at the announcements that Gov.
Hadley OF Missouri, had come out IN
support OF the nomination of Col.
Roosevelt Gov. Hadley's support
had been counted on by political ad-
visers of President Taft.
h When the Missouri governor was in
Washington several weeks ago 1t was
announced that he had practically
pledged himself to support Mr.. TAFT
for denomination. So confident were
the political advisers Of the president
that Gov. Hadley was working In his
interest that Secretary OF Commerce
and Labor Nagel, who comes from St.
Louis, practically surrendered state
leadership to the governor.
HadIey Makes Statement
Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 24-Gov.
Hadley today stated that he had made
no statement in Washington or else.
where that he favored the renominatio
where that he favored the denomination
Of Mr. Taft.
The governor said that the story to
the effect that he was favorable to Mr..
Taft was printed during the Washing
ton visit referred to by the correspond
ent Of a st. Louis paper whom he took
to task over the matter before leaving
the national capital. The correspand'
ent he said, defended his action by
saying he had not quoted Gov. Hadley
but had credited him with being out
for Mr. Taft's denomination under the
belief that such was the case.

sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, headache and feeling of lassi
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
oml bending a mild. gentle laxative
tonic like Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR., Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative. easy in action. GER
tain in effect and, withal. pleasant to
the taste. 1t possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen the stomach. liver

been for years the great standby in
thousands of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. 1t is
equally as valuable for children as for
older people.

HIS UNKNOWN GOOD POINTS
Widow Found 1t Hard to Reconcile
Eucgy With Her knowledge of
Dead Husband.

An old Irishman who had made a
good deal of money but who wasn't
very particular about his habits or
conduct, lived in Chicago. His Gus
tom was to go downtown about once
a month on a spree, and then come
back home and beat up his family and
break the furniture. His aged wife,
who had stood him for many years,
was blind.
Finally he died, and his children
gave him a fine funeral They had
plenty of money now that the old
man was dead, and so they spread
themselves At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved in Woe She cried and
cried all through the services, paying
scant heed to what was going on I'M
til the eulogy was pronounced. She
listened. The priest referred to the
dead man in glowing terms. After
about ten minutes of this the aged
widow nudged her son and whispered:
Danny, do they be havin' two flu
nerals here today? Eve

After awhile ma came in and said:
How do?" So sorry to trouble him,
but would he mind if they tried the
nantes on? Her daughters was
trifle too full, and her own a trifie
too long, she thought. Perhaps he
would be good enough to see.
The young man said he would be
only too delighted.
The two elegant nantes in the lat
est style which were lying across the
back of the sofa were then donned,
and the young man said he thought
they looked charming. Yes, perhaps a
little alteration was required. buff
they would excuse him he would be
glad if they would let him get on with
his work and show him the gas burn
ers that were requiring fresh nantes.
Why, Wasn't he from Jiggins &

that attended to the nantes from the
