Peace Confereace Sou to be Held.
INSTRUCTIONS
NEARLY READY
On the Question of Disarmament It Will
Be Pointed Out That the U. S.
Military and Naval Department Is
Far Below What It Should Be.
New Yobk, March 23. A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
There Is reason to believe- that an im
portant proposition looking to the
settlement of international disputes by
arbitration will be advanced by tbe
American delegates at the - coming dis
armament conference.
It is learned on high, authority that
tbe credentials for and instructions to
. tbe American delegates are now being
prepared by Secretary Hay, and that
they will be ready for sub mission to
tbe president for his approval when he
returns to Washington from bis South
era trip. These instructions will be a
complete exposition of the position of
this government on the question of dis
armament and arbitration. .
So far as the proposition for a general
disarmament of the nations o'f the world
is concerned, it will be the duty of the
. American delegates to explain and to
show that the United States' naval and
military establishment is far belo
what it should be, and besides that this
government does not intend to hamper
in any way the inventive faculty of the
people of this country. Nor is it ex
pected that Great Britain will do so.
In fact, the most important reeult which
the officials expect of the conference
will be the adoption of some plan for
the reference of disputes to general ar
bitration, and the United States will
have a plan of this character as well as
other nations.
Tbe administration ' is strongly in
favor of arbitration as tbe means for tbe
ettlement of disputes among nations,
and while it appreciates that there are a
number of controversies that can only
be settled by war, it is still believed
that many questions which arise and
are causes of much friction may, be ad
justed by arbitration.
The president is committed to inter
national arbitration by bis inaugural
address and by subsequent declarations,
but bia administration has not at
tempted to negotiate arbitration treaties
for one reason, because of the im
minence of war with Spain, and the oc
currence of the war. In view of the as
sembling of tbe conference at The
Hague, it is thought by the officials that
the lime has come when' tbe adminis
tration can pnt iteelf on record before
the world as favoring arbitration.
ONE MAN KILLED,

proved and able to do her own work."

IS IT A TRIFLE?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID DYS
.PEPSIA OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Serious
Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is a form of
indigestion resulting from fermentation
of the food. ' The stomach being too
weak to digest it, the food remains until
fermentation begins, filling tbe stomach
with gas, and a bitter, sour, burning
taste in' the mouth is often present.
This condition soon becomes chronic
and being an every day occurrence is
given but little attention. ' Because dys
pepsia is not immediately fatal, many
people do nothing for their trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known as TStuart'8 Dyspepsia Tablets
and is becoming rapidly used and pre
scribed as a radical care for every form
of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
all druggists for 50 cents per package.
It is prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co.,
Marshall, Mich., and while it promptly
and effectually restores a vigorous di
gestion, at the same time it is perfectly
harmless and will not injare the most
delicate stomach, but on the contrary
by giving perfect digestion strengthens
the Btomacb, improves the appetite and
make life worth living.
