GERMANY TO ACCEPT FRENCH Fl“ . J LATTER TO CONTROL MOROCCAN POLICE UNDER CERTAIN GUARANTEES. Algeciras, Spain, Marek 9.—The meiaisterial crisis in Paris caused pro- found astomishment ameng the dele- gates of the powers attending the Mo- roccan conference, but the details have mot yet reached -Algeciras. . The impression prevails that the. event is deplorable and may possibly prove disastrous to French diplomacy. The delegates, however, refuse to eommit themselves ‘on- the effect which the downfall of the Rouvier cabinet may have on the conference. Previous to the receipt of the news af the ministerial crisis at the French capital the tone of discouragement had completely digappeared and. the work of rapproachment was proceed- ing with feverish activity. The conference during the morning’ resumed: the discussion of the. Moroe- can: police quéstion. Three distinct prepositions were presented—one by the Austrian delegation embodying the German ideas; another by the French and the third by the Moroccan ‘mis- sion. Various Plans Explained. The Austrian plan gives’the sultan supreme command of ‘the police and he is to select French officers for the police at four ports. The Moroccan plan makes the sultan supreme and asks that all the powers participate in the organization of the police. The French plan, as heretofore; outlined, establishes Franco-Spanish::police at eight of the leading ports. _An official note: issued at the close of the day’s session read. as follows: “Herr von Radowitz (chief of the German mission), referring to the statements made by the Russian, French and Spanish delegates at the last session of the conference, said the German:government did mrot object to the ‘organization-ef-the.Maroccan po-. lice by France and Spain at the ports open to commerce under proper guar- antees assuring economic liberty.” The official statement made by Herr von Radowitz appears to assure an! agreement. POLICY UNCHANGED. Cabinet Crisis Does Not Affect Moroc- can Question. Paris, March 9.—The government finds itself withoul a ministry at the culmination stage of the Moroccan conference at Algeciras. A semi-offi- cial announcement on the .subject says: “The ministerial crisis does not af- fect French policy at the conference.” This is designed chiefly to warn Germany not to take advantage of the situation. The fact is that the minis- terial ‘crisis confuses matters and threatens the agreement, which other- wise might have been reached shortly. The vote in the chamber of depu- ties. resulting in the defeat of the gov- ernment and the resignation of the cabinet, also requires that the govern- ment temporize with the church mani- festants, who are becoming increas ingly demonstrative, particularly the peasants. President Fallieres during the day began a series of consultations rela- tive to the formation of a new minis- try. He at first conferred lengthily with M. Dubost, president of the sexn- ate, and later received M. Doumer, president of the chamber of deputies. No announcement of the president’s course of action has been made, bhut the names most mentioned are those of Leon .Bourgeois, the former pre- mier; Alexander Millerand, the for- mer minister of commerce; Raymond Poincaire, former minister of public works, and Senator Clemencea. There is some talk also of M. Delcasse,: the former: foreign minister, who is sup- ported. by the Anglo-French ‘enthi siasts, but his-appointment is impos: sible owing to German hostility to him. FRENCH Vatican Authorities Interested. Rome, -Muorch 9.—The Vatican au- thorities Téceived throughout the night telegrams from France regarding the’ cabinet crisis, in which the pope and Papal Secrefary ‘Merry del Val were most’ interested, although it' wak. ad- mitted that it was difficult to establish whether the issue would be a victory for the Holy See or -the inauguration of even stronger anti‘Catholic regime in France. BE APPROXIMATELY FIF- 'A% TEEN PER CENT. Chieago, March 9.—Wasned by the egitation government. eontrol of rates Western railroads, according to e Record-Herald, have decided. to make voluntary reductions in trans- yortation charges, amounting in the aggregate to many million dollars an- nually. - The: proposed: reduetions are to be made in all the rates of the six classes into which freight is divided and will be effective in the entire ter- ritory between the Atlantic seaboard and Missouri-river.- In general the re- ductions will amount to approximazely 16 per cent. 1 The first step was taken in the movement at a meeting of the traffic executive officials of all Western rail- .roads. . Theirepresentative of the Chi- cago,-Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad presented 'the proposition for reduc- tions, whiehwas favored by the Chi- ‘cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad. ~Another conference has been.called for, next Tuesday, at which, will be present all of the important jobbers in the Missouri river territory. It 1s now planned, after a confarence with the jobbers, to determine a basis for rates from the seaboard to the Mis- souri river and then to make corre- sponding reductions in the rates from Chicago to the Missouri and from the Mississippi to the Missouri. When this is accomplished, it is stated, re- ductions will follow in the rates from i rates in the territory named ult in similar | action. by’ other.gron railroads:so- that the move of the Western rail- roads bids fair to be farreaching and to have an imporiant bearing on fu- ture relations. between the railroads and the public. QUARTER OF A MILLION NEEDED. Money Lenders Have Strong Hold on Zion City. : Chicago, March 9.—Picturing a gloomy financial situation and recog: nizing a crisis Overseer Voliva has called upon the residents of Zion City for over $250,000 to save the com- munity from the money lenders and thus to relieve the present pressure and put the industries on a paying basis. As security he promised the people first mortgages cn the lace factory and the printing house. He called upon ministers to give up their salaries, he asked clerks and laborers to work for $3.39 a week and upbraided the followers of Di. Dowie for wearing jewelry and gaudy clothes. “Accept in pay ‘just enough to pro- vide for living expenses,” was his urgent.request, he himself declaring he was willing to live on 25 cents a week, if possible thus to keep soul and body together. SMUGGLING ARMS INTO CHINA. Guns and Ammunition Found on Pa- cific Liner. San Francisco, March 9.—Twenty- two modern rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition were seized in the quarters ‘of the Chinese crew on the Pacific Mail steamer Manchuria, just about to sail for the Orient. The company’s officials thereupon ordered as thorough a search of the vessel as possible and this resulted in two more hoxes of rifles being found in the room of one of the assistant engineers. The engineer and the Chinese were ques- tioned and it was found that the guns :were purchased in this country by the engineer and smuggled aboard the vessel. Nothing is known as to how long ‘the smuggling of this character of .£00ds has been going on or how many rifies have been sent in this way to China, " OVER ‘A -SCORE DEAD.

Heaton of New Virginia, [a., was fatally injured. Y -NO_MAN STRONGER THAN HIS_STOMACH. The celebrated Dr. Abernethy of London was firmly of the opinion that disorders of the stomach were the most prolific source of human ailments ‘in general. A recent medical writer says “every feeling, emotion and affection reports at the stomach (through the Bystem .of nerves) and the stomach is affected accordingly. It is the vital center of the body * * * * » He continues, “so we may be said to live by (and he might well have said through) the stomach.” He goes on to show that the stomach is the vital center of the body. He says “the function of di- gestion in its several stages is to pre- pare the food in forms which are suita- able to be added to the structure,” meaning the structure of our bodies. He continues, “every physical action from simple bieathing, thinking and circulating of the blood to the most active bodily exertion wears out por- tions of the structure (of our bodies) and they become dead and so require to be taken away speedily. Much of the food which we take, and especially when unwholesome or in excess, adds to the waste material, and when%t has undergone chemical .changes it is still more..mischieydus.”.Then he..goes on to the effect that the: nervous system prompts every part of the circulating system. He says “it gives its message every moment to the infinate number of glands and follicles to unload them- selves of waste material so that the current of blood may carry it away.” “When these two processes of nutri- tion and excretion are thus carried on with equal assiduity we are in health, but when this equilibrium does not exist there comes disorder and disease. The common form of such derange- ment is indigestion or dyspepsia. The function of nutrition is interrupted and all the operations which depend upon it go wrong. Under these condi- tions it has a way of appearing in other types of disorder. Many of these often mislead physicians. Other parts of the organism are likely to be in- volved, and we may find consumption, kidney complaint, hegnfic (liver) dis- orders, hysteria and even mental alienation® (derangement).” He says ®it may be observed that deranged persons have a woe-be-gone expres. sion, offensive breath, irregular action of the bowels, hallucinations and other like conditions of dyspepsia.” The foregoing is no doubt a rational view of the sad havoc worked in the human system by indigestion and dys- pepsia, torpid liver and kindred de- rangements, which are generally asso- ciated with or followed by many other diseases of diverse appearance, but all ling upon the weak and dis- ordered stomach. Cure the stomach “weakness. and you cure all these dis- eases and derangements. For weak stomachs and the conse- uent. indigestion or dyspepsia, and the multitude of various diseases which result therefrom, no medicine can be better suited as a curative agent than Dr. Pierce’s _Golden-Medical' Discoy- ery. £ .
