McNeil, of the American Federation or Labor, of Boston; E. B. Durand, of the Industrial Commission, and S. P. Gallo way. Unionism Xot a Menace. Frank Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Firemen, replyjng to the criticism of Charles M. Schwab, as to organized labor, said that unionism was not a menace, but an Instrument of peace and good; was within the law, and was a strong Influence toward the maintenance of the Republic "We are taking down the barriers," he said, "that have seemed to separate us. We are privileged to touch elbows here and exchange Ideas, and I feel sure that good will come of It. The trouble in the past has been that we have not under stood one another. There can be no cap ital without labor, and the man who does the work and the man who manipulates the capital should realize their depend ence on one another. The great leader of capital who spoke yesterday would have little capital to manipulate but for he work of the men in the furnaces and in the mines. That Is the fact that 1 ask capital to remember." Mr. Sargent eald the firemen had long since adopted the policy of reasoning with their employers and educating their own men to a point of Intelligence as to the rights of both themselves and their employers. They made no sacrifice of their rights or manhood. "But," he add ed, "they reserved the right to fight des potic oppression, to crush wrong where reason did not prevail." He said that when labor and capital would fairly and reasonably meet one another. Industrial disorder would be greatly reduced. Lewis Nixon, the shipbuilder, who fol lowed Mr. Sargent, said that he hoped the conference would effect the organiza tion of a sort of Industrial clearing-house, where disputes could be settled. He fa vored organized labor, and in criticism of it had only to say that he thought It need ed a greater spirit of Americanism, for he believed certain objectionable things which had grown up in other countries had been Imported here. In a telegram to the conference Carrpll D. Wright, United States Commissioner of Labor, urged the adoption of the joint committee plan for the settlement of la bor troubles. The officers of the American Federation of Labor reached the meeting at noon, and Samuel Gompers was presented to the conference at once. He was given a warm welcome. Prefacing his speech with the declaration that "the whole struggle of the human family has been for a bet ter condition of those who work." Mr. Gompers traced the history of the toller from captivity in the hands of the con queror, through slavery and serfdom, down to modern times. Gompers Not Opposed to Trusts. "It Is as Idle to think that the Individu al worker can secure justice as to think that the rudderless ship can escape the tempest," said Mr. Gompers. "It is nec essary for him to merge his Interests with his fellows and thus obtain his rights. I have not and I will not now join In the hue and cry against combinations of capital. I may eay parenthetically that I do object to the trusts interfering with the politics of the country and par ticularly with the judiciary. Dealing with them industrially I welcome them. I also wish to see organization of work ers, and I believe the best interests of the two will prevail when their representa tives meet and fairly and honestly adjust their differences. They are jointly ele ments In the production and distribution of wealth. The employer has no right to say to the laborer that there Is nothing between them to arbitrate. That declara tion has all the vlciousness of the oia relation of master and slave. Labor need have no fear for the future. Absolute assurance lies in the justice of its cause, the humane principles upon which it works, and in the grit and character which makes up the American people." John Mitchell, president of the United Mineworkers of America, strongly advo cated peace. "I think," he said, "the solution of the labor problem is not a diffi cult one. It needs no introduction of Utopian ideas. Men should reason together and when they meet they should be honest with one another. I have never seen a strike that could not have been averted if the two interests had met fairly In advance. If the great plan outlined be fore this conference is carried out It will do more good than any movement in our country." Ben Tlllct, of London, one of the Eng lish representatives at the meeting of the American Federation of Labor, and James Duncan also spoke, and Archbishop Ire land made the closing address of the con ference. He said in part: "May the winds carry the news over the Continent, around the world, that such a meeting has taken, place in the great City of New York. The hope of the a)th century is that the great principles of brotherhood, charity and justice an nounced by the holy one of Palestine shall become wider and deeper at this time than at any other time. Let us have in dustrial peace. Let employer and em ploye know that they are brothers. Let charity and justice and justice more than charity be the prevailing light of this great Nation." Frank Sargent moved that a general executive committee composed of 10 rep resentatives of labor, 10 of capital and 10 from the general public be appointed Resources Loans and discounts United States bonds Other bonds and stocks T Roni o.vtntP furniture and fixtures I Redemption fund In United States uasn on nana ana aue irom ixinna Totals Liabilities Capital stock Surplus and undivided profits.

COLOMBIA AXD VENEZUELA. Hostilities Between the Two Conn tries About to IleKln. WASHINGTON. Dec 17. Semi-official advices received hero indicate that hos tilities are about to begin between Colom bia and Venezuela. The delay in proceed ing to extremes has been largely caused by the lack of a suitable stock of arms and ammunition by the Colombian Gov ernment. This Is about to be remedied. The news that comes today Is to the ef fect that the British steamer Ban RIgh, which recently excited suspicion by load ing a large cargo of arms In European waters, supposedly Intended for the Boers In South Africa, but really for the Colom bian Government, Is now near Colon, and the advice is to the effect that when her cargo Is distributed among the Colom bian troops, hostilities will begin between Colombia and Venezuela. Albnn Accuses Castro. COLON, Colombia, Dec. 17. The corre spondent here of the Associated Press re quested General Carlos Alban to explain Colombia's refusal to accept the condi tions of arbitration demanded by Vene zuela. General Alban has replied to this request In the following terms: "General Castro, President of Venezue la, Is the principal factor In the Colom bian revolution. Since the beginning or the war he has furnished the revolution ists with arms and ammunition. Castro cancelled the exequateurs of several Co lombian Consuls in Venezuela, and insult ingly treated Senor Rico, the Colombian Minister at Caracas. Castro now pretends to demand satisfaction from Colomhia, asking her to accept Chile's offer of me diation. For the above expressed reasons Colombia severe diplomatic relations with Venezuela. "1 would be glad If the press would give publicity to the recent conduct of Presi dent Regalado, of Salvador, who gave the Colombian revolutionists the steamer Ibis and also supplied them with arms and ammunition, and this notwithstanding the formal protests of the Consuls." General Alban places no confidence In the report of the capture of Rio Hacha by General Uribe-Urlbe. Alban says the Colombian Government has 60,000 men un der arms.

A communication to the Press announces that the annual sugar conference today discussed the ef fects of high customs taxes on sugar. The Indications are that the delegates favor the total abolition of sugar boun ties. The main point of today's debate was the imposition of countervailing du ties, especially the effect which the im position of such duties by the United States might have in diverting the export of bounty-fed sugar to fresh markets, and thus upsetting the general system of bounty paying duties. Tho German kartel system was also discussed. A proposition Is pending to allow the sugar countries not possessing such a price sustaining organization to pay a bounty of 2 francs per 100 kilos, to offset the ef fect of the kartel system. At the same time the conference is doubtful of the efficiency of any action which it may take, in view of the fact that the United States and Russia nre not bound by the dictum of the conference. The result may be to call a fresh conference, to include the countries which are not at present represented. French Public Worship BUI. PARIS, Dec 17. In the Chamber of Deputies today the Premier, M. Waldeck Rousseau, urged the House to re-establish the public worship estimates, which were suppressed by the Budget Commis sion. He pointed out tho advantages of the maintenance of concordat which gave the state authority over the clergy, and said a denunciation of the concordat would lead to the creation of a hierarchy, of which the head would be at Rome. Ultramontanlsm would be no longer a doctrine, but a fact, and a spiritual chief would be created in France. In addition to the temporal chief. Moreover, the proposition for the denunciation of the concordat had never once found a ma jority In the Chamber, and he, the Premier, did not believe it existed npw. Even the great revolution had not dared to separate the state and the church. They ought not to undertake a task which they were not sure they were able to carry out. for. If the policy of separa tion is to get a check, it would be a seri ous setback to the republican idea. The Chamber subsequently decided to discuss the details of the bill. Revolt of Russian Peasants.

Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that peo ple are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical, permi nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness In never being humbugged, es pecially In medicines. This fear of being humbugged can bo carried too far, so far. In fact, that many people suffer for years with weak diges tion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a preparation so reliable and uni versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets. Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different In one Important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines, for the reason that they are not a secret patent medicine, no secret Is made of their Ingredients, although they are sold by all druggists under protection of trade mark, but analysis shows them to con tain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids. Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they euro Indigestion on the common-sense plan of digesting the food eaten thoroughly be fore it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This Is the only se cret of their success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cure Indigestion and stomach trou bles, because they act entirely on tho bowels, whereas the whole trouble is real ly In the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That Is all thero Is to It. Food not digested or half di gested Is poison, as it creates gas, acIJlty, headaches, pilpltatlon of the heart. loss of flesh and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
