!i Is Believed That France and Russia
and Even Germany, Will Ulti
mately Agree With Them.
Losdox, May 20 All the diapa'ches
to the morning papers from Tlio Hague
tbo tbit the peace conference is suffer
ioj from lack of preparation. The
Monvieff circular contains heads and
chapters, but no details. Its author
emphasized disarmament, but slighted
irbitrstion. M. de Staal, in opening
the conference, absolutely reversed this
order. What is wanted is something
for daily wear and tear.
The Daily News eays : "The British
and American proposals, though simple,
ire more practicable than the scheme of
M.de Maartens, of the Russian delega
Mn, and it is likely that France and
Ead'n.and even Germany, will ulti
mately aicree with them.
War and Tyranny.
Thi Hague, May 20. Madame Selen
ka, the famous peace advocate and pro
moter of the woman's peace crusade,
presented to M. de Staal, president of
the peace conference and head of the
Russian delegation, an illustrated album
containing the text of resolutions In
favor of peace, adopted by meetings rep
relenting several million women. The
titan was accompanied by an addiess,
"in the name of the women of eighteen
Diuona," saluting tbe conference, as
suring the delegates of the faith of the
memorialists in tbe results of its labors,
begging that the hopes of the people
might not be deceived, and that the con
'mm would decide that the evils of
war eonld be cured.
The address concluded as follows:
"Your litters, on behalf of humanity,
ppealto you to realize the ideal of
fraternity in order that war aud tyranny
y perish with the century."

Wenkatbat he could ' receive her for

Washington, May 20. Admiral
Dewey today cabled the navy department
that be will stop at various places on
his way to the United States aud reach
New York about October 1.
New York, May 20. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Hong
Kong says Admiral Dewey shows great
improvement already. Installed epaci
ously at the Peak hotel, with lofty wind
ows that catch every mouthful of wind
from the sea, he is losing the air of languor
that he wore when he landed from hi
blistered crniser. It was rest that he
needed rest and cooler air. He Is get
ting both.
Society at tbe Peak is well bred. There
are no disturbing factors there. It is
here that the English officers and their
wives, tbe government officials, tiie rich
merchants and distinguished travelers
take refuge from the heat and noise of
the town . They all feel deep interest in
the hero of Manila bay, but tbey respect
his desire for quiet. He has become one
of them already. With the. eaee of
polished man of the world, he has
dropped into his place in the little com
munity that resembles a house party at
an English country residence. Strangers
to that community cannot intrude upon
him, however. The government detect
ives see to that, and so do the detectives
hired by Consul-General Wildman. So
do the swarms of Chinese servants.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an Inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the repult, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic

The earliest symptoms of Indigestion
are sour risings, bad taete in the niootn,

consumption, liver and heart troubles,
kidney diseases, nervous prostration, all

Any person suffering from indigestion
should make it a practice to take after
each meal one of Stua-t'a Dyspepsia
Tablet, allowing it to dissolve in the
mouth and thus mingle with the saliva
and enter the stomach in the most natur
al way. These Tablets are highly recom
mended by Dr. Jennieon because they
are composed of the natural digestive
acids and fruit essences which assist
the stomach in digesting all wholesome
food before it has time to ferment and

Will Visit Portland During His Sum

Washington, May 20. President Mc
KInley will visit Oregon during his sum
mer vacation, unless his present plans
are upset. He will be there In time to
vieit the Second Oregon volunteers after
they return from Manila. He will go to
Yellowstone Park, and to every state
that had volunteers in tbe Philippines,
according to the present plans, if tbe
state troops are all returned before Sep
tember. He wishes to go to the coast and
return before Dewey's return, which will
be about October 1, as he will be tn Ne
York to receive the admiral. It is
claimed that this will be a political tour
and the first sounding of the Western
states on the issues of the day, so far as
the situation in the Philippines is con
concerned, and the other questions
which have grown out of the war. Tbe
exact time of his visit will depend upon
the reception in St. Paul, which he has
promised to attend, and at which he will
make speech. This reception will be
held when tbe Thirteenth regiment,
Minnesota volunteers, the comrades of
the Oregon boys, under Brigadier-Gen
eral Summers, return to their home
state. Politically, it will be regarded as
the opening of the president's campaign
for asecoud term.

by Large-sized
Fossil., Or., May 27. Storms of una
sual severity have passed over this part
of Eastern Oregon during the past few
days. On Tuesday the heaviest hail
storm ever seen in these parts fell on
Fossil and several miles of surrounding
country. The hailstones were three-
fourths of an inch in diameter, and in a
few minutes all the water-courses were
overflowing. Small chickens were killed
or drowned before they could run to
shelter. Gardens, orchards and grain
crops were badly damaged. A large,
thick pane of glass In the new addition
to the Fossil Journal office was broken
by tbe hail. This storm felt In streaks,
and, while it missed a large portion of
territory a few miles south of Fossil,
Wagner, thirty-five miles tonthest, felt
It full force. The hall was accompanied
by thunder and lightning.
On Wednesday, a severe thunder storm
passed over the May ville section. George
Gibbons, a painter, lost four of his best
work horses, worth $100 each, at his
ranch a few miles northwest of May ville.
They were killed by lightning, which

OTIS WANTS
REINFORCEMENTS
Proposes to Enlist the Macabebes
Against Their Old Enemies, the
Tagales.
Washington, May 27. Owing to the
gravity of the situation in the Philip
pines, the feeling of supreme confidence
bas given way to apprehension. A rails
tary censorship at Manila indicates that
General Otis desires to have It generally
known that lie wants reinforcements.
General Otis has asked tbe volunteers to
re-enlist. The withdrawal of the latter
would weaken bis command 15,000,
while the fighting force will be lees than
30,000, including tbe regulars just ai
arrive.
May Enlist tbe Macabebes.
Manila, May 27.-6 p. m. General
MacArtbur is in favor of nn experiment
of enlisting tbe Macabebes against their
old enemies, the Tagales. A delegation
of leading Macabebes visited tbe general
and its spokesman read an address as
suring the American commissioners of
their friendship and willingness to tran
fer their allegiance from Spain to the
United States. They complained that
the Tagales murdered tbera and burned
their villages, and asked to be protected
and given arms to protect themselves.
Tbe Macabebes have greatly assisted
in posting the Americans on the country
and tbe positions of the enemy. Gen
eral McArthur would arm 100 of these
men and make them touts, and if tbe
experiment proved successful, be would
enlist more of them. General Otis has
issued orders inviting the volunteers to
re-enlist for six months, according to
the act of congress bearing on the
matter.

being four days and six hours from Ben.
nett City over the ice. The trip was not
so very unpleasant, although we had a
good deal of cold wind, and in some
places it was quite dangerous, as the
Ice was full of crevasses and the weight
of our load, being 3000 pounds when we
were all on riding, cansed the water to
boll up as we passeJ over. There were
three of us besidos the driver. His
load was 2100 pounds of hoy and we bad
350 pounds of baggage and grub. Tney
were all j )lly good lullows, and we made
the beet of it. Yes we had a whole lot
of comfort; but I think I bear you say,
'Yes, cold comfort." Well, we were
like the bed hug, rather slow, but we
got hre all the same with only one
horse to drag ns along, well, happy and
n good spirits, hoping for the future to
repay us, which I think all deserve for
coming 150 miles on ice.
As for the scenery, I can only describe
itthusly: Bennett Like, Taulsh Lake,
Taku Arm and Lake Atlin are long nar
row bodies of water, surrounded by
barren rocky mountains covered with
now and Ice that make cold chills run
down your back every time you look up
from the ice below your feet. But we
