Efforts are now being made by republican members of the Nebraska delegation to se- cure the location of the Indian supply depot In the government warehouse at Omaha instead of having it established in & private building. It is stated that the government corral is commodious enough to hold all supplies, for a time at least, and that without expense to the government. Becretary Hitchcock belleves that the gov- ernment should pay for what It gets, irre- spective of the law which provi that the city of Omaha should donate a bullding, rent free, for five years. Application will be made at once to the War department for place in the government house in which to install the Indian supply depot. J.

TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT Commission - Reports in Favor of Stricter Enforcement of Provis- fons of Paris Convention. ‘WASHINGTON, Dec, 4—The commission pointed by the president to revise the statutes regarding copyrights, trademarks, eotc., today submitted a report to congress. ‘The committee consists of Krancls Forbes, Poter 8. Grosscup and Arthur P. Greely. The changes which they recommend are embodied in three proposed bills affecting trademarks, drafts of which they submit with the report. Summarising the results of the various hearings held by the commission, they reach the conclusion that there is general agreement on the following propositions: First, that the international convention signed at Paris In 1833 is advantegeous to the people of this country and that the United States should provide for carrying out {ts provisions. Second, that the treaty relations of the United States, the interests of manufac- urers engaged in domestic trade and par- ticularly the interests of manufacturers engaged In forelgn trade, demand a national trademark law, which, so far as congress has power to do so under the constitution, slall regulate and protect trademarks used in commerce within the United States more satisfactorily than is now possible. It was also agreed that if the privileges of fling caveats under the same conditions as they are permitted to be filed by United Btates citizens could be properly given to resldents of forelgn countries, the caveat should be abolished, it being generally con- sidered that it 18 at the present time of little or no importance.

It was rather a discouraging meeting that the Peter Cooper club held last night at 1415 Farnam street. In the first place the attendance of but fourteen members de- noted a wonderful lack of interest in cur- rent popullstic events and then came the report of the treasurer showing that only $2.74 remained in the strong box, while an overdue gas bill of about $5 threatened to throw the club rooms in the darkest of gloom. When it was further reported that the rent was two months behind a gener- ous member threw a copper coin on the president's table in order to make the treasury balance an even $2.75. N. H. Church appeared before the meet- Ing as a delegate from the mid-roaders and Invited the club to appoint a commit- tee of seven to meet with similar com- mittees from the mid-roaders, prohibition- Ists, soclalists and silver republicans next Tuesday night for the purpose of arrang- ing, 1t possible, a tusion of “all the reform forces,” without respect to either of the old parties. The invitation was recelved with scorn and a motion thanking Mr. Church for the courtesy and requesting him to withdraw was adopted by a unanimous vote, after a long drawn-out discussion, In which the mid-roaders were severely scored. — Marriage Licens The following licenses to wed were Issued at the office of the county judge yestel Name and Residence.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 4.—The report of the Isthmian Canal commlission, submitted by the president to congress today, gives as the unanimous conclusion of that body that “the most practicable and feasible route for an isthmian canal, under the control, management and ownership of the United States, Is that known as the Nicaragua route.” The commission estimates the cost of this route at $200,640,000. This estimate is much in excess of any heretofore made and s due to increased dimensiops and other features not heretofore considered. The commission also estimates the cost of a canal by the Panama route at $142,342,670, according to onme route, or $156,378,268 ac- cording to another route. As between the Nicaragua and Panama routes, the commi: slon sums up & number of advantages fa vorable to the former. It statés, also, that under tho concessions given by the Panama government to the Panama Canal company that company s not free to grant the neces- sary rights to the United States, except upon conditions made by.the company. The report is a document of about 17,000 words, almost as long as the president's Although the work of the com- mission fs not yet completed, many of the fleld parties still being out, yet it has been sufficlently advanced to make it practicable to present this preliminary report, giving the cssential findings. A thorough investi- gatlon has been made, not only of the Nicaragua and Panama routes, but of other possible routes, the commission keeping in mind the industrial, commercial and mil- itary value of an interoceanic canal and also the rights, privileges and franchises necessary to be secured for the construction of a canal under the control, management and ownership of the United States. In all thirty-one working parties were organized and sent into the fleld, making a force of about 220 englneers and assistants, besides about 600 laborers, boatmen and other work- men employed in the various countries, & total of more than 800. Meanwhile the members of the, commission personally conducted varlous branches of the work. One party went to Parls, whero It ex- amined the detail of the Panama canal project now being executed by the French company. Nicaragua is Interested. A detalled description s given of the trip over the several routes. Along the Nicaragua route it was found that the short sectlon of partially constructed canal Is perbaps in as good shape today as it was when the work was stopped. The buildings, however, are all rotten and the dredges, boats, etc., are worthles The cowmission visited President Zelaya and otter leading officials of Nicaragua and fcund them greatly interested in the project. The occupation of thelr territory by the United States for canal purposes did not seem to be regarded as a serious obstacle, provided the sovereignty of the republic was respected. Along the Pan- ama route the commission found a large force of workmen engaged upon the canal about 2,000 in bumber, according to the Panama company. The canal has been opened to some extent at both ends. Immense quantities of machinery, !mple- ments and tools were found along the route. Much of this property, the com- mission reports, is ll-adapted to American methods of work and all of it now Is from thirteen to twenty years old, so that no value should be given to the plant now on the isthmus. A visit was &lso made to President Eglesias of Costa Rica and his cabinet and & strong sentiment was found to exist for an American canal along the Nicaragua route. Trips were also made along the Darien route. After golng over the several routes the commission considered the dimensions of the canal o be bullt. Having in mind the in creasing size of ocean-going vessels, it was determined to fix upon a depth of thirty-five feet at mean low water and a bottom width of 150 feet, with some in- crease of dimensions at certain polnts. These dimensions are larger than those proposed for any previous canal scheme. While they may seem excessive today, the commission points out that the canal s not ltkely to be opened within ten years, during which time the increase in maritime dimensions Is likely to continue. A width of 150 feet will allow all but the very largest ships to pass each other In the canal, while the locks are of a dimension to permit even the largest ships afloat to be maneuvered. The size of locks is 740 feot in length, elghty-tour feet in width fn the clear, with a depth of thirty-five feet. Detalls of the Route. Taking up the Nicaraguan route fu de- tall, the commission says that the route adopted follows essentially the lines lald down by the Nicaragua Canal commission in its report of 1897-1809. It begins near Greytown, on the Atlantic side, follows the San Juan river, enters Lake Nicaragua and terminates at Brito, on the Pacific side. The dlstance from ocean to occan is about 186 miles. Plans are given for the great harbors required at Greytown and Brito The most dificult engineering work is the dam across the San Juan river to regulate the waters of the lake. The time required to bulld the caual hinges almost entirely on the time required for the construction of this Gam. The commission says elght years would probably be a reasonable es- timate for the bullding. At least two years will bo consumed in preparatery work and opening a harbor at Greytown, so that if work on the dam should be commenced {mmediately thereafter the time required for completing the entire work will be about ten years. Cost of the Work. The commission then submits the follow- ing estimated cost of a canal on the Nicaragua route: Eastern dlvislon (from Greytown to Boca 8an Carlos dam)...... Middle division (from Boca San Carlos dam to Las Lajus Western division (from Las Lajus 0) Ayisin Gl ght miles of raflroad. ... $ 2,662,000 5,425,000 650,000 S e TR Engineering, police, sanitation and general ¢ s ntingencles Aggregate 4 o 200,540,000 This cstimate Is for a canal suitable for navigation by the largest ships now In existence and thus In accordance with the terms of the bill pending In congress. It provides for a double system of locks, 8o that navigation can be maintafned if one system be closed for repairs or renewals. It a single lockage system is provided the cost will be reduced $19,678,000. Narrowing the bottom one-third wiil permit a further reduction of $16,949,000. This would bring the estimated cost down to $163,913,000. cxtimate on Panama Route. Conceruing the Panama route the com- insion says its natural attraction lles in the combination of a very parrow lsthmus with a low summit. The width of the fsthmus 18 less than thirty-five niiles, while the summit Is barely 390 feet above mean tide.

L. $142,42,679 This estimate {s capable of reduction to $115,041,921 if single locks and a narrow bottom are adopted. An alternative esti- mate is submitted, based on having the Alhajuela dam bullt to impound the waters of the upper Chagres. This estimate Is $156,378,268. The commission reports that the value of the French work already done is estimated at $33,634,464 It 1s estimated that the tonnage that would use the canal will amount to 7,080,230 tons fn 1909, Referring to the commercial advantages of an isthmian waterway, the report says: Commercinl Value of Canal As compared with KEurope, the United States will derive from the canal far greater benefits, both commerclally and _in- dustrially, The commerce of Europe, with the Paclfic coast of North, Central and South America, under existing conditions, is somewhat larger than the total volume' of the present trafic of the United States that may be considered tributary to *he canal, but this fact does not indicate the relative advantages which the canal will possess for the trade of Europe and that of the United States. As goon as it has been opened our trade with the west coast of South America will_rapidly increase, as will also the volume of our trade with the Orfent. The amount of the American commerce through the canal will quickly surpass the total amount of European traffic, Comparison of Route The eommission concludes with a careful comparison of the Nicaragua and Panama routes, It shows that distances between Atlantic and Pacific ports are shorter by the Nicaragua than the Panama route. This 18 in part offset by the increased time in getting through the Nicaragua canal. The latter route 18 reported to be more favorable for salling vessels. The Nicaragua route s also regarded as ad- vantageous through its development of the country through which it passes. It is pointed out that the Panama concession, now held by the French company, prohibits a cession of rights to any nation or forelgn government. The concesslon s limited, so that if the United States acquired it there would not be an absolute ownership in perpetuity, as the concession provides that the canal shall pass to Colombla after ninety-nine years. The commission has ked President Hutin of the French com- pany to name terms upon which the com- pany will dispose of its property and in- terests to the United States. No formal reply was recelved until the commission's report was being closed. The report says that the conferences have resulted in no offer to dispose of the property to the United States upon any terms, nor had tho company expressed any desire to negotiate with the United States with reference to such a disposition. It was proposed by President Hutin that the United States might obtaln control of the canal scheme a majority stockholder of a new organi- tion. The company prefers, however, to relncorporate in the United States and accord to this government such reprecen tion on its board of directors and such purchase of Mtersst.as its concessions per- mitted, , The final coliclusions of the commission are stated as follows: 1. The estimated cost of bullding the Nicaragua canal s about $58,000,000 more than that of completing the Pansme canal, lenving out the cost of acauiring the latiet roperty. This measures the difference in he magnituds of (he obatacies o by come in the actual construction of the two canals, and covers all physical considera- tlons, such as the greater or less height of dams, the greater or less depth of cuts, the presence or absence of natural harbors, the Ppresence or absence of a railroad, the ex- emption from labllity to disease, and the amount ot _work remaining to 'be done. The new Panama Canal company has shown no disposition to sell ita" property 10 the United States. Should that company be able and willing to sell, there fs reason to believe that the price would not be such as would make the total cost to the United States less than that of the Nicaragua canal. 2. The Panama canal would be shorter, have fewer locks and less curvature than fhe Nicaragua canal. The measure of these advantages is the time required for a vessel to pass through, which {s estimated for a vovage ship at twelve hours for Panama and thirty-three hours for Nicaragua. On _the other hand the distance from 8San Francisco_ to New York fs 377 miles, . to New Orleans 579 miles and to Liverpool 38 miles reater via Panama than via Nicaragu he time required to pass over the distances being greater than the difference in the time of transit through the canals, the Nicaragua linc, after completion, would be somewhat more advantageous of tho two to the United States, notwithstanding the greater cost ot mainfaining the longer canal. over- ter completion, Not Willing to Sell. overnment of Colombia, in which ‘anama canal, had granted an ex- concession, which still has many It is not free to grant the 3.

The commission belleves that such agreement fs impracticable. So far as can be ascertalned, the company 18 not willing to sell its franchise, but it will allow the United States to become part owner of its stock. The commission considers such an arrangement inadmissible. The governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, on the other hand, are untrammeled by concesslons and are free to grant to the Unjted States such privileges as may be mutually agreed upon In view of all the facts, and particularly in view of all the difficuities of obtalnink the necessary rights, privileges and franchises on the Panama route, and as- that Nicaragua and Costa Rica nize the value of the canal to th selves and are prepared to grani con: 18 on terms which are reasonable acceptable to the United Stutes, th Miselon I8 of the opinion thut “the most racticable and ute for ‘an canal to be under the control, and ownership of the United 15 that known as the Nicaragun and com- feasible route, The message of the president transmit- ting the report is as follows To the Senate and House of Rep resentatives: | transmit herewith, for the information of the congress, a preliminury report of the Isthmian Canal commission, %0, LLIAM MK Executive Mansion, D HOLDS ON TO HIS GOLD DUST Refusal of Recelver MeKensle to Surrender Metal Takes Case to apreme Court of United Statew. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—In the supreme court of the United States Attorney A. K. Brown submitted the return of the circult court of appeals for the Ninth circuit to the rule of the supreme court to show why a writ of certiorari should not issue in the case of Robert Chipps and Alexander M Kenzle, the last named receiver for th placer mine, known as “Discovery Clalw,” on Anvil creek, in Alaska, against Jatet Lindeborg and others. The reply of the court 18 to the effect that its proceedings have been regular and that they are not subject to review by the supreme court. Other papers in the same case were filed today, Including what purports to be o relaso by Chipps to Lindeborg of all the former's property interosts.

Upon his appointment McKenzle took possession of the mine in question and also of a large quantity of gold dust (sald to be $200,000) in value. Judge Noyes afterward rofused (o dismiss McKenzie ns recelver and the case was appealed to the circuit court of ap- peals. Judge Morrow of that court not only allowed an appeal, but fssued a writ of supersedens ordering McKenzle to return all the property to the defendants. McKen now being proceeded agalnst for contempt The supreme court has taken the case on briefs aud an oral argument will be heard TREATY TO HAVE PRECEDENCE Senator Morgan Seems Willing that y-Pauncefote Agreement Should Be Considered Before Canal Bill, WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—The senate com- mittee on Interocean canals held a meeting today at the instance of its chairman, Sen- ator Morgan, to consider the status of the Nicaragua canal bill. The bill is the special order in the senate for pext Monday, but there is a desire on the part of the repub- lican managers to have it postponed for & time at least, pending the consideration of the subsidy shipping bill and the Hay- Pauncefote treaty. Senator Haobna, who is especlally interested in the shipping bill, sat with the committee, presenting the views of the republican managers on the relative claims of the various measures to prece- dence in the matter of consideration. The committee did not reach any definlte conclusion as to the line of action to be pursued. When the committee adjourned, however, the members felt, from the ex- pressions on the canal bill and especially from Senator Morgan's attitude as devel- oped at the meeting, that there would be no effort op the part of the friends of the bill to obstruct the subsidy bill with the canal bill. Senator Morgan admitted that if the sub- sidy should be made the regular order of the sefate, as contemplated, that action would have the effect of displacing the speclal order. He did mot seem disturbed over this fact, but, on the contrary, ap- peared quite satisfied with the virtual as- surances of other members of the commit tee that the canal bill should follow the subsidy measure for consideration. He also expressed his willingness that the Hay- Pauncefote treaty should be acted upon in advance of action upon the canal bill. PETITIONING THE POWERS Woman's Temperance Unfonists In- voke Favorable Legisiation Hoth Here and in Forelgn Countri, WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—The Woman's Christian Temperance union convention, in session here today, adopted resolutions against the army canteen and prepared a petition to the president, another to con- gress and identical petitions to all of the great powers against the salo of firearms and the fmportation of llquor and oplum into the Philippine islands or the island pos- sessions of the other powers addressed. The petition to the president pointed out that it has been the policy of America to forbid the sale of intoxicants to the Indian tribes, and that England, which had the greatest experience among the colonizing powers of the world, had been forced to adopt a pro- hibition policy in its colonies in Africa and elsewhere. The convention, therefore, asks that the president, either through the War department or the Philippine commission, shall extend the prohibition law of the In- dlan territory 8o as to take in the Philip- pine islands. A petition to the senate urges the ratifica- tion of the pending treaty for the protection of central Africa against intoxicants. A petition also was drawn up to Great Britain, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Hungary, Greece, Russia, Turkey, Persia and Japan, asking for an international treaty that will forbid the male of intoxicants, oplum and firearms n all fsland and other regions in- habited chiefly by aboriginal tribes. Ways and Means Committee Holds Another Meeting to Discuss Light- ening of Public Burden. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—The republican members of the ways and means commit- tee had another meeting today to consider the bill far the reduction of the war revenue taxes, but no important conclusions were reached. There is some talk in the committee of increasing the reduction over the $30,000,000 as first agreed upon, and there appears to be a prospect that some increase over the original figures will be made, but no definite action has yet been taken. The republicans probably will hold several other meetings before final action Is taken and a caucus of the republicans may be held. Bodies of Soldier Dead Hrought Home. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Quartermaster General Ludington has recelved a cable meseage from General Humphrey, quarter- master with the troops in China, saying that the California sailed from Taku on Novem ber 30 for San Francisco with the bodles of seventy-four salors and marines, who either dled of wounds or disease during the recent milltary operations. These bodles were disinterred at Tien Tsin, P! Tsang and Yang Tsen. All the bodies un- claimed by relatives will be buried in the national cemetery at the Presidio, San Francisco, with military honors. The quartermaster general Is also ine formed that the transport Hancock. which has just arrived at San Francisco, brought the bodies of the twenty-nine soldlers, marines and citizens who lost their lives in the Philippines. In addition the vessel brought the bodies of thirty-six soldiers and one marine who dled in Honolulu, Ha- wall. Appropriations Bill, WASHINGTON, Dec. 4—The committee on appropriations of the house today com- ploted the leglslative, executive and judi- clal anpropriation bill. The committee ex- pects to be able to obtain consideration for the bill tomorrow. The bill carries $24,400,608, boing $903,001 less than the es- timates and $239,496 more than is carrfed by the present law. The whole number of salaries provided for in the bill is 763 less than the number estimated for and an increase of 120 over that carried In the present law.

To be symmetrical and properly propor- tloned every person should have a certain amount of excess flesh, but to be plump does not necessarily mean to be fat. Fat 18 undesirable; it clogs and retards the action of muscles, interferes with the healthy action of the heart and lungs and when very excessive, predisposes to fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say nothing of the discomfort resulting from too much adipose tissue. Common sense would suggest that if one wishes to become fleshy and plump the thing most nevded would be flesh-forming tood, that s albuminous foods, like eggs, beet, oatmeal, etc. The kinds of food vhich make flesh are the fouds we have on our tables every day, but the trouble is that our stomachs, from weakness or derangement of some kind, do not promptly and progerly digest it. Really the principal reason so many peo- ple remain thin Is because their stomachs do not properly and completely digest and assimilatethe flesh-forming beefsteak and €8RS we cat every day. There are thousands of such people and they are really dyspeptics, although they may not suffer any particular pain or in- convenlence from thelr stomachs, o 1f such persons and all thin people would take ofter thelr meals some simple and natural digestive like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food would be quickly digeste. and the proper degree of plumpness very s00n result, because these tablots are pro. pared exactly for that purpo: They di- which is the real reason why they py quickly bulld up and strengthen thin, dys- peptic men and women. Stuart’s Dyspepsla Tablets cure ‘every form of indigestion on this common sense plan, that they thoroughly digest the food promptly, giving strength to every nerve and organ of the body and the weakened stomuch a chance to rest and recover its natural vigor.
