POOR FOOD-ATGANAL
Condition at Panama Caused
by Abnormal Rates.
TROUBLE NOW ABOUT OVER
Canal Laborers Forced to Suck Wild
Cone for Sustenance Eggs Are
Ten Cents Each Food
Contract Now Let.
KEW YORK. Sept 9. It was learned
toaay Hint a condition of practical
starvation which has several times re
cently threatened Panama canal labor
ers was one of the grounds which
caused Tiffcodore P. Shonts, chairman
of the Panama Canal Commission, to
accept the J. 13. Markel bid for supply
ing food to Government employes at
Panama, causing two unsuccessful bid
tiers tc protest to President Ro'osevelt.
Chief Engineer John F. Stevens has
been sending dally appeals to the canal
commissioners' headquarters to send
his men food.
It was said today by authority that
the laborers who aro doing the hard
work have been for some time In a
half starved condition, due to the fact
that the demand for food has raised the
prices of all commodities to abnormal
figures In Panama. The dollar-a-day
men, with eggs at 10 cents each and
bad meat from 20 to 40 cents a pound,
ljave gone for two and three days at
a time without any food except that
got from sucking the wild cane in the
swamps. They have gathered around
the quarters of the officers, begging
for food, and daily cables to "Washing
ton for food supplies have been the
result. In this emergency one of the
reasons for accepting the Markel bid,
it is learned, was the fact that he has
fn organized force ready to put Into
Panama at once.
LOSERS CHARGE FAVORITISM
Protest to President Against Markel
Isthmian Hotel Contract.
OYSTER BAY, Sept. 9. President
Roosevelt is in receipt of a telegraphic
protest from Hudgins & Dumas against
the letting of a contract by Chairman
Shonts, of the Isthmla'n Canal Com
missi to J. E. Markel, of Omaha,
Xeb., for the hotel and subsistence con
cessions in the Panama Canal Zone.
Chairman Shonts awarded the contract
to Markel as the successful one of three
bidder. Hudgins & Dumas and Balfe
being the other two.
Tne protest to the Presidont alleges
that favoritism was shown to Markel,
the successful bidder, and that he was
onabled through a leak In Chairman
Shouts office to gain information
about the other two bidders which en
abled him to bid successfully.
President Roosevelt has taken no ac
tion regarding the protest, and will
take none at present at least, (beyond
referring the protest to Chairman
Shonts, who will be asked to make a
report to the President upon it.
MAJT MEAN KETALLVFIOX.
Penfield Will Inquire Into South
American Tariff Discrimination.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9. It Is said that
Judge Penlleld's mission to look Into trade
conditions in South America is of the
greatest importance to the large export
ing trade interests of this country, and
particularly to the shippers of American
ilour and produce. In fact, upon Judge
Penflcld's report probably will depend
whether or not the Prosldent shall decide
to change the policy of patient waiting
and negotiation with some of the South
ern republics for one of active retalla-i
tlon.
Nearly 27 years ago, when in the course
of the "free breakfast table" movement
the duty on coffee imported into America
was removed by Congress, Brazil was one
of the first countries to take advantage
of the situation by Immediately imposing
an export duty on Brazilian coffee going
to America, about equivalent to the tariff
duty abolished. This In a measure de
feated the purpose of Congress, which
was to secure cheaper coffee for the
American people. Also for a porlod of
years the Brazilian government haa lev
led upon American flour and' other prod
ucts duties that this Government has
been urged to regard as discriminatory.
If the President were officially of this
mind, he would be under the necessity of
carrying out the provisions of the retal
iatory laws and imposing duties upon
Brazilian products considerably In excess
of those now levied.
Judge Penfield Is now A.o endeavor to
reach an understanding with the Brazil
Ian government which will result In the
removal of the so-called discrimination
against American products, and perhaps
In the abatement of the coffee export
duty.
WANTS TREATY EXTENDED.
Cuban Moderate Party Likes Reci
procity and Renominates Paliua.
HAVANA. Sept. 9. President Palma
was unanimously renominated tonight by
the Moderate party convention as a can
didate for tho Presidency of Cuba. Men
dez Capote received the nomination for

declares strongly for a five years' exten
sion of the reciprocity treaty with the
United States, and for amendments there
to. In accord with the interests of both
countries.
The platform, "which was adopted with
out discussion, provides, among other
things, that the party pledge Itself to
carry out every obligation in respect to
sanitation and promises to cleanse all
cities and all centers of population, not
withstanding the fact that all cities that
are able must attend to their own sani
tation. The platform also promises that
the party will endeavor to obtain for at
least five years an extension of the reci
procity treaty with the United States,
agreeing to mako any concession in se
curing the extension that will continue
the great advantage now given to Cuban
products by the treaty.
The platform declares for government
assistance In the building and develop
ment of railroads and this issuewill be
one of the main ones of the fight, as the
Radicals have declared strongly against
this proposition. Every form of encour
agement to agriculture and more liberal
laws for immigration are promised as
are also the systematic enlarging of tho
laws of the nation.

Fairbanks and Penny-packer Speak
at Republican Celebration.
WESTCHESTER. Pa.. Sept. 9. (Spe

a parade in which 3500 men with 26
bands took part. There were about
25,000 visitors in the city. Vice-President
Fairbanks and Governor Penny
packer, made addresses, which were
received with tumultuous cheering.
Governor Pennypacker, In his ad
dress, referred to the youthful enthu
siasm of the voters of 1S5C. He said In
its infancy the .Republcan party gave
us the great Lincoln and these days
the strenuous Roosevelt. He congrat
ulated the people upon the present
proaperlty. He said the subject of re
form was a delicate topic to touch, but
there was universal need for reform.
The evil methods of politicians, he said,
spread like the weeds. His mention of
Blaine's candidacy aroused continued
applause. He said prosperity had ever
followed Republican administration
and that public affair in Penasylra-
nia were a model of the Union. Mr.
Fairbanks said:
I rejoice with roa In the abstrvanca un
der these autstcea of tha 50th annlversarr
of th organization of the Republican party

men who assembled here 50 year ajto. They
aligned themselves with the moral forces
that were sathcrlnr and consoIldatlnK
throughout the fre statea tinder Itenub-
Hc&n leadership. They enlisted In a cam
paign of uncertain duration, but of exalted
purpose. Love of party and love of Repub
lican Institutions Inspired the heart and
nerved the arm of each. The party that
was created here In this state was born
with a high mission; those who presided at
Its birth were men who firmly believed in
the rirhta of men: thoaa who mat here SO
kyears ago were inspired by the most Just
ana patriotic Impulses. They were actuated
by no sordid motives. Thev were animated
by no mere lust for power; they who laid
the foundations of the Republican party laid
them well.
The hlstorr of the Rsublican nartr Is the
history of arduous work, of defeats and vic
tory in the progress of a mighty people. In
the upbulldlnr of a great republic the best
free government In the history of the world.
Its life covers an epoch In our National
growth singularly rich in Us fruits of Na
tional development. Its career has been In

party has been fortunate, not only In the
measures that It has enacted to promote the
public welfare, but In Us administration of
public rn.TTs.lra.
Before closing his address, Mr. Fair
banks paid an appropriate tribute to
President Roosevelt, saying that the
events of the past few weeks have been
of great moment to the world and a
tribute tb the wonderful abilities of
the chief executive.

Mr. Qulnn. "He has been 13 years on

When visiting the Portland mills, as

ing in the neighborhood of $15,000, is the
only one of the kind In the United States,

"It relieved me from a long nnd dis
tressing catarrhal trouble and brousrht

"I recommend it as a cure and a
tonic that cannot be surpassed."
PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
BETTER THAN ADVERTISING
Hq2- often we hear and read the ex
pression, A frlond advised me to try
Peruna. I tried it and found it to be
exactly what I was looking for."
At least ten times as many people have
taken Peruna because a friend advised
them to do so as have taken it because
they saw it advertised.
Advertisements, however" nttractlvo
they may be made, cause only a smail
per cent of the sales of Peruna.
It Is the advice which friend gives
to frlond which sells Peruna.
Peruna cures ono person of some
phase of chronic catarrh, and because
of this euro a dozen other people are
induced to take Peruna.
Attention Called to Pe-ru-na.
Max J. Porges, Alderman of the
Eighth District, 3C Rivlngton street.

"Peruna Is a National blessing.
"My attention was caHed to It this

E OF NEW. TREATY
JAPAN AND BRITAIN ARE ROUND
BY NEW CHAIN.
Indin Brought Within the Scope of the
KxteoKlon of Agreement One Ally
to Help Another If Attacked.
LONDON. Sept." 9. The new Anglo
Japanese treaty will be given out
early next week. The Associated Press
was informed at the Foreign Office
tbi evening that the delay in mak
ing the treaty public was caused by
the carrying out of minor details of
routine, printing, etc.
Great secrecy continues to be main
tained with regard to the provisions
of the treaty, but the substance al
ready given- in these dispatches Is
generally accepted as correct. While
much broader in scope than tne agree
ment of 192. which expired with the
successful termination of tho peace ne
gotiations between Russia and Japan,
It being expressly stated that should
the date of expiration arrive while
either party was engaged in war it
should be continued until peace was
concluded, the new treaty Is under
stood not to be much longer than the
tld. and the Increase In the number of
articles therein ! partly due to the
chftnged conditions in Cor en. In the
other agreement the provision respect
ing Cnina and Corea was contained In
the first clause, while in the new treaty
it la believed the undertakings with
regard to these kingdoms occupy sep
arate clauses. This is necessary in
order to give Japan a free hand In
Cores. The open door here Is guaran
teed and the rights of nil nations are
recognized In riTuch the same way as
lu the Russo-Japanese peace treaty.
Otherwise the open door in China is
assured, and, while taking every pre
cauton to safeguard the interests of
the contracting parties it is believed
the agreement contains nothing which
in any way Interferes with tho existing
rights of other powers, but It is under
stood to be framed to prevent' attempts
looking to the partititon of China.
Clauses two and three of the old
treaty, covering the conditions under
whlc either ally comes to the assist
ance of the other when attacked by
any two powers when the Far Eastern
Interests of the powers are affected,
are understood to be completely
changed, so as to bring one ally to the
assistance of the other even if at
tacked by one power. In this respect it
Is especially interesting to Europe as
applicable to all bt Asia up to the line
crossing north and south through Per
sia as indicated by the 51st degree of
longitude, which brings India within
the scope of this significant extension
of tne agreement.

THOUSANDS OF UNPUBLISHED
TESTIMONIALS ON FILE
No other remedy In the world has re
ceived such a volume of unstinted tes
timony. While we have thousands of testi
monials that we can never publish, yet
the written testimonials are as nothing
in comparison with that spoken every
day by friend to friend and neighbor to
neighbor.
This is what makes Peruna .so popu
lar. The people try it and find that it
cures them.
Tnen they recommend It to others and
others try it, and so the work goes on.
If all advertising of Peruna were
stopped, the sales of Pcrunaf would
doubtless continue for a generation or
two because of its Intrinsic value.
