THEY REJECT
THE TREATY
Enclan'I's Action on the Nicaragua
Canal Project Equal to a Flat
Kcfiisnl.
Lokim)K, Feb. 8 It Iirb been learned
by a representative of the Associated
Press Hint a reply will shortly be nent
to th United States Nicaragua Canal
project. It will not comply with the
nate's domandB, neither will it be in
the nature of a flat refusal, though for
parpon'H of Immediate construction it
will he tantamount to such a refusal. It
will emifrmt mainly in a counter proposal
or proposals, likely to necessitate ex
ternal negotiations. The nature of the
proposal is not yet ascertainable. Lord
i'aiiiieolute will likely be the medium
tlirotiKli which the answer will be pent
and by whom the subsequent, neuothe
tioiiB will he conducted. In Iintish
ollicial opinion, it is likely that soverHl
months will elapse before the matter
reaches n conclusion, by which time the
ILiv-l'iiuucefote treaty will haveelupsef',
on tint liasis of the senate's aineinlmentt.
The Hritinli counter proposals are now
formulating, and it is hoped uu entirely
lie- agrceui'iut, satisfactory to both
countries, will eventually he reached.

Mexico mid tliwOold Standard.
Nkw Yoitic, Feb. 8. At a dinner given
in bis honor by Qharles R. Flint, Senor
Enrique C. CreelJ a banker of the city
of Mexico, was the principal speaker.
The dinner was attended by a number
of prominent financiers. It is the general
belief that Senor Creel has come to ar
range some way of putting Mexico on a
gold basis, instead of her present silver
standard.
Senor Creel said :
"Senor Limantour will be the acting
president of Mexico during the European
trip of President Diaz, which will take
place lu the near future. France will be
the first country visited, but the proba
bilities are that be will visit Loudon and
all the great Continental cities. On the
return trip New York will, according to
the present programme, be the port of
debarkation.
So far as the United States and Mexico
are concerned, the financial and indus
trial interests of the two countries are of
the closest and most important character.
Hitherto American capital Iiub found
ample field for investment at home. Its
increase has been so enormous in recent
years that it now seeks investment
abroad. Mexico is tho most profitable
field to which it can turn. 1 am not
alone in this opinion. Many of the
most eminent American financiers think
so."

Salye. The original is a safe and certaiu
cure for piles. It is a soothing uud heal
ing salve for sores and all skin diseases.

WIRELESS
TELEGRAPHY
New System Developed by Weather
bureau at Washington Entirely
Distinct From Marconi's Method.
New Youk, Feb. 8. A special to the
World from Washington says: A new
system of wireless telegraphy has been
developed by the Weather Bureau.
"It is a success," said Willis S. Moore,
chief of the bureau. "We have been ex
perimenting for a year at Cobb's island,
in the Potomac river, 70 miles below
Washington. We have completed an
apparatus that we expect will enable us
to signal ships 600 miles or more out at
sea. We shall soon send out ships
equipped with receiving instruments.
We have just completed a station at
Roanoke, N. C, and will soon have
stations at HatteraB and Cape Henry.
"We have Hii'ceeded in telegraphing
perfectly with our wireless (system for
sixty miles over a rough country around
Washington. That, I believe, is fully
equal to the best transmission that has
ever been accomplished by the Marconi
method. Our system is quite distinct
from his, and is being developed along
our own lines.
"We succeeded in sending messages
for some distance from a stair only three
feet high. We established regular com
munication between the laboratory and
Washington, 00 miles. One of our men
has a farm near Fort Myer, Va., just
across from Washington. A staff 100
feet high was on the place and at the
top we placed our instruments. We were
able to communicate with the island as
regularly and as freely as though we
were working over a wire. The speed of
the waves was practically that of light.
We used a system of dots and dashes and
our receiver was of the 'sounder' type.
We read messages by sound. We expect,
however, to develop a receiver that will
record messages.
"Notwithstanding our success," it does
not seem that wireless telegraphy is de
veloped yet to the point where it can be
iiBed for ordinary commercial purposes
on land. The earth disturbances and
the conditions that surround cities
would prove obstacles,"

A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, Is uarrated by him as follows:
"Ias in u most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, 110 appetite gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi
cians had given me up. Fortunately, a
Iriend advised 'Electric Bitters' ; and to
my great joy and surprise, the Hrst
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three weeks, and
urn now a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed tho grave of another
viotim." No one should fail to try them.

A powerful engine cannot be run with
a weak boiler, and we can't keep up the
strain of an active life with weak
stomach ; neither can we stop tho human
machine to make repairs. If the stomach
cannot digest enough food to keep the
body strong, such a preparation as Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure should be need. It di
gests what.you eat and it simply can't
help hut do you good. Clarke A Falk's
P. O. Pharmacy.
Recent experiments show thut all
classes of foods may he completely di
gested by a preparation called Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure, which absolutely di
gests what you eat. As it is the only
combination of all the natural dlgestauts
ever devised the demand for it has be
come enormous. It has never failed to
cure the very worst cases of Indigestion
and It always gives instant relief, Clarke
& Falk's P. O. Pharmacy.
