WASHINGTON Count Alfonso d’ Aljores, of 287 Plaza del Torro, Buenos Ayres, South America, while visiting in Chicago, wrote from 247 Cleveland avenue, that city, as follows: cst ae cm { i 4 Dangerous Kidney Diseases | A remedy that Cured. At the appearance of the first symp- tom of kidney trouble, Peruna should be taken, This remedy strikes at once the very Toot of the disease. It at once relieves the catarrhal kid- neys of the stagnant blood, and prevents the escape of serum from the blood. Peruna stimulates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accumulat- ing poison, and thus prevents the con- vulsions which are sure to follow if the poisons are allowed to remain. It gives great vigor to the heart’s action and digestive system, both of which are apt to fail rapidly in this disease Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys simply because it cures sors wher- ever locatea.

CHOSEN, The Peace Plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan to Meet in the American Capital. AT THE REQUEST OF BOTH. President Roosevelt Suggested The Hague, But St. Peters- burg and Tokio Favor- ed Washington. Washington, June 17.—The official announcement hae been made that Washington has been selected as the location of the peace conferences be- tween Rusela and Japan. The announcement came in the form of and official etatement issued by Secretary Loeb by direction of the President. The statement fol- lows: “When the two governments were unable to agree upon either Chefoo or Paris, the President suggested The Hague, but both governments have now requested that Washing: ton be chosen as the place of meeting, and the President has accordingly formally notified both governments that Washington will beso selected.” It is suggested at the White House, informally, that after meeting and organizing the plenipotentiaries of the two governments, ff it should be found to be uncomfortably hot in Washington, might adjourn the meeting to eome summer resort in the North where they may continue their sittings until such time as the weather in Washington shall be more comfortable. Whether the selection of Washing- ton will affect the tentative selection by Russia of M. Nelidoff as one of its envoys is not known. Private ad- vices reaching here from Europe to- day say Emperor Nicholas has been considering General Kuropatkin 28 & possible associate for M. Nelidoff, but that nothing is said on the sub- ject in St. Petersburg lest Kuropat- kin’s enemies rally against him. The fact that General Kuropatkin pos- aesses the confidence of the Japanese and his wide knowledge of Asiatic polities gained through long exper ience in Manchuria, as well as his ac- qnaintance with Russian policies in Persia and his experience as govern- or of frans-Caspia and as minister of war, contribute, in the opinion of officials and diplomats here, to_his fitness for the important mission. This news, however, comes in « pri- vate dispatch and lacks as yet ofticlal confirmation. A Billion Dollars Too Much. Washington, June 17.—Pressure is being brought to bear upon Japan to induce it to fix the sum it will de mand as an indemnity for the pend- ing war at as low a figure in cash as {a possible in the circumstances. This presaure {s being exerted especially by European governments, by Prest- dent Roosevelt, it 1s intimated in an important quarter, also has advised the Japanese government that mod eration in its demand for a cash in- demnity not only would facilitate the negotiation of peace terms, but would beregarded by the powere with partigular favor. The payment by Russia of an. such cash indemnity as a billion dollarg not only would embarrass seriously the St. Petersburg govern- ment, but probably would disturb the financee of the entire Western world. Indeed, it has been suggest ed that such @ payment, to all in- tents and purposes, might render Russia a practical bankrupt. The opinions and views of the United States and other powers on this sub- ject have been permitted to reach the principal advisers of the Japanese emperor. In and About Pleasant Gap.

Then the parties returned to a part of the county which had not been worked recently. Tippoo Tib was very wealthy. His ivory trading caravans brought to the coast thousands of tusks and made Zanzibar the ivory market of the world.
