MAKE IT WARM FOR THE N. P. Union. Pacifie and Great Northern Will Back Up the 0. R. & N. in Its Bat tle W ith the Northern Pacific for Supremacy in the Great Northwest. Portland, Dec. 1. It looks as if the Oregon Railway & Navigation Co., backed by the Great Northern any Union Pa cific, intends to cripple the Northern Pacific in the West. Some momentous plans are on foot. President James Hill 13 due to arrive in Spokane today. President Mohler, accompanied by Traffic Manager Gamp bell, of the O. R. & N., left today for Spokane. A special from Spokane says that the Great Northern magnate and Mr. Mohler have arranged a conference to be held in Spokane today or tomorrow. This coming upon the heels of the row between Morgan of the Northern Pacific and Hill of the Great Northern, is sig nificant. Something is in the air. If it were not for recent events, the meeting might be attributed to the old phantom of a rumor that Mr. Mohler knowing the O. R. & N. was to be ab sorbed by the U. P., was hobnobbing with Mr. Hill for a comfortable berth. For this time at least the rumor is sidetracked. Something more significant is on foot. Shrewd railroad men who follow the trend of events say that the two will con sult for the purpose of putting a quietus upon the Northern Pacific in the West ern country. It will certainly result in a lively fight for territory and may lead to another disastrous warfare. Events are passing rapidly in the rail road world. That there is a very nneasy feeling for fear rate-cutting may follow the fight for territory is shown in the fact that telegrams were received in all the local offices today announcing an iron-bound agreement between the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Union Pacific was formed to keep freight rates at tariff. It is to be effective from today. Each road is asked to bind itself to the agreement and declare that it will not grant concessions which mean the same thing as cutting below tariff rates. Some of the roads thus appealed to claim that they have always maintained tariff rates, and eay that while they are willing to continue doing so, they see no necessity of them signing such an agree ment, as it would be a tacit admission of their guilt.

Bell, a highly esteemed minister residing in Weediport,, Cayuga Co., N. Y., in a recent letter writes as follows: "There has never been any thing that I have taken that has relieved the dyspepsia from which I have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them I have had no distress at all after eating and again after long years can sleep well. Rev. F. I. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y., formerly, Idaha, Colo." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re markable remedy, not only because it is a certain cure' for all" forms of indiges tion, by becanse it seems to act as thor oughly in old chronic cases of dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness. A person has dyspepsia simply because the stomach is over worked, all it wants is a harmless, vege table remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much needed rest. This is the secret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the digestion may be, Stuart'? Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New life and energy is given not only to the stomach but to every organand nerve in the body. A trial of this splendid medicine will convince the most skeptical that dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cared. ' The tablets are prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co., of Marsh nil Mich.", but so popular has the remedy become that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can now be obtained at any drug store at 50 cents per package.

ROYAL BAKIWO PQWPCR CO.. NEW YOftK. CESSION WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED They Will Resist the Establishment of American Rule. Madrid, Dec. 1. Advices from the Philippines say that the insurgents there have decided not to recognize the ces sion of the islands to the United States, and that they will resist to' the last. It is also claimed that the United States will require 70,000 troops to put down the rebellion, and it is alleged that the insurgents bold ten thousand Span ish prisoners whom they will force to serve against the Americans.

STRUCK BY A SQUALL AND SUNK The Accident Occarrrd Near Pilot Bay While the Vessel Was Making Her Regular Trip. Nelson, B. C, Noy. 30. The Ains worth, a small steamer plying betwen Nelson and Bonner's ferry, was wrecked last night during the storm on Kootenai lake, six of her crew and three passen gers being drowned. The Ainsworth left Nelson last night on her regular trip. When about six miles south of Pilot bay and about two and a half miles from shore, during a heavy sea she was struck by a squall and commenced taking in water. The captain headed ber for shore but she reeled over on her side, filling immedi ately. , Straggle for Life. Spokane, Nov. 30. A Nelson special to the Spokesman-Review gives further particulars 0? the wreck of the Ains worth, as follows: The starboard lifeboat was first launched. Six passengers sprang into it and it was swamped. All went down but Johnson, who divested himself of bis overcoat and got on board again. The port boat was next launched, but the maddened Italians jumped in and. it was swamped. Four of the Italians were drowned. The others were saved. The boat was subsequently righted up and a part of the survivors got into it and paddled two miles to shore. There, a bonfire was lighted and the boat re turned and brought off seven men who were banging to the ropes. A third trip brought off the remainder of the passengers. The wrecked party was taken to Pilot bay, and this morning the Kodanee brought them to Nelson. The Ainsworth is a wreck, half beached at Crawford bay. At the time of the disaster she carried nineteen pas sengers and a crew of twelve. WILL BE SIGNED WITHIN A WEEK Work of the Peace Commission Pro gressing Satisfactorily. Paris, Dec. 1. The work of the peace commission is proceeding rapidly, and unless there is an unexpected bitch, the treaty will be signed within a week.
