Tlio Arbitration Treaty with Eng land Noarly Oomplotod. WILL BE READY IN THREE WEEKS. It Is ltcllevcri Tliut, Unless Soino Unex pected Obstacle Should Arise, the Treaty Will He Made KfToetlvo During tho Present Administration. Washington, Don. II. Thonogotlntlons Iwtween tlio United Statos nnil Groat Britain for a troaty of general arbitration, I covering all subjects of difference between I tho two English-speaking nnllons, prosont nnd prospective, has advanced to a stage of completeness for bcyomV-whnt tho pub lic hna had reason to bolfoyo. Tho pur pose of Secretary Olnoy and Sir Julian Fauncofoto Is to concludo th8 negotiations within the next threo wcoks. All of tho substnntlnl fonturos of tho treaty !mvo uu - uu uiuuu uu. From tho nrosont etntus 1 of tho negotiation It Is l!llovod tho fol lowing will lu tho Important torina of tho treaty ! I ilrst A term of flvo yenrs from tho j ditto of the oxehanRo of rntlllcntlon within wlil;h tho treaty eltaU bo operative. Second A court of arbitration of six mombora, threo to bo drawn from tho Ju diciary of tho United States and threo I from tho Judiciary of Great Britain. Third Tho submission to this tribunal of all dlfforonco lwtwoon tho two nations, now ponding or to nrlso within tho porlod of flvo yoars, this not to lucluflo tho Boh rlng Soa question or tho Vonozuola ques tion, now betoro lndopondent commis sions, but to Include tho question of tho boundary botweou Alaska and Ilrltlsh North Ainorlca. Tho completion of tho treaty will mark nn Important epoch In tho relations bo- twoen tho two Kngllsh spoalclug nations, and in tho Judgmont of thoso who' have boon mostly identified with its consum mation it will bo tho most important document of a peaceful character In tho history of tholr mutual doallngs. Tho president mado passing Illusion to tho subject In his rocont message It had boon nndoratood, howcror, that tho main purpose of Mr. Olnoy was to roach nn ugrcoinont as to Venezuela, and that, hav ing accomplished this, tho largor quostlon of arbitrating all dllTorencos would require considerable tlmo for Its complcto dovolop mont Hut tho two nations have procoodod with surprising unanimity, so that thoso ou gaced In tho work confidently bollorothat it will bo fully agreed upon and tho sig natures of tho contracting parties placed to tho documents within threo weeks. This will glvo fully two months for tho consideration and ratification of tho treaty at tho present session of tho XJnttod States senate, and unless soino unexpected ob staclo should arlso In that quarter thoro Is" everyroasontoantlclpatotn.it tho troaty may lw maflo cllcctlvo before tho close of tho present administration. Asldo from tho previously referred to points it can ba stated In a gonetal way that tho tonus of tho treaty aro such as to "clear tho board" of all tho vexatious quostlons which havo arlson botwecn tho United Statos and Groat Britain. Thoso havo boon numorous In rocont yoars, and somo of them havo threatened- serious consequences. But thoso familiar with the exact terms of tho negotiations say that not ono of theso causes of frictions will remain. The main purpose of tho troaty is to guard against future dlfforoncos threaten ing a rupture, and In this tho negotiators bollevo that tho terms of tho Instrument will bo such ns to avoid all possibility of International conflict for the future. ThU Is regarded as tho mala achleromont. It Is ono said to bo pooullnrly advantageous to the commercial lntorosts of both coun tries, assuring them against rumors of war or tho serious prospect of war. As ono of thoso concerned in tho negotiation sums up tho result: "When a sorlousdlfforonco arises botweou tho two countrlos, instead of a public feel ing that war may result and a consoquont unsettling of commercial interests, as oc curred during thi Venezuelan crisis, tho publlo will know boyond all possibility of rumor or report that tho difference Is ono which will bo sottlod by arbitration In stead of a possible resort to arms." As yot It cannot bo stated definitely whother tho treaty will cove dffforoncos Involving unttonul honor and sovereignty. This wiw a poln: of disagreement early in tha negotiations. It li probable, however, that nu oxcuptlon will ooetir in this re? spec as tho treaty Is meant to oovor tha usual nnd ordinary differences which arise botwoon nations, rather than such extraordinary ovonts as an insult to tho flag or any other national indignity, which aro usually considered outsldo' the scopo of arbitrations. All tho negotiations havo been carried on In Washington, nnd tho signing of tho Instrument will occur hero. Mr. Olney and Sir Julian Paunccfoto havo borno tha brunt of tho work, the latter executing tho views of Lwl Salisbury In such a way as to oxpodlto tho flunl arrangement. Mr. Bayard had not taken part In tho nego tiations, although Indirectly ho 1ms ppn trlbutod to tho result. Murdered by a Ilurglar. MAnsnALLTOWS, la., Doc. H.

A moth er's proudest and happiest privilege is to help nn am bitious sou in his' early struggles to attain eminence in his chosen walk of life.r To such n sou, n ro bust mother, a Errand mother with a healthy mind in a healthy body, is the best counselor and the best spur. Many mothera are sickly, fretful, helpless creatures tortured, beyond endurance by the pains of their own wrecked constitu tions. An ambitious youth receives but little encouragement or sound advice who appeals to such a mother. Most ill health among women is due to weakness and disease ot the orgaus distinctly iemi nine. If these patts are weak and dis eased the entire system suffers. The most wonderful remedy for all weakness and disease of the distinctly fo male organism is Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription. It allays inflammation, aootlies pain and imparts vigor aud health to these delicate organs. It makes healthy mothers and Capable wives. It Sreparcs a woman for motherhood. It oes away with the discomforts of the ex pectant period and makes parturition easy and almost painless. Over 90,000 women have testified to its virtues, in writing. Druggists sell it.

Tho candidacy of Mr. John Wannmnker, of Philadelphia, has succeeded In making conspicuous a foaturo of American poll tics which Is n disgrace to American man hood. Tho fact that Mr. Wanamnkcr Is a candidate for ono of tho most important nndnt tho same tlmo ono of tho most dig nified ofllces within tho gift of tho Amor-, lean peoplo serves In no manner to olthct restrain or modify tho methods employed by him In its attalnmont. Ono would j havo supposed that tho clovatod position I Sir. Wanamnkor is accredited with in ro-1 llglous clrclos would havo oxorclsod nn in-1 fluonco on his fictions politically as would 1 havo protected him from ns-uilt ns to dirty or contemptible political methods.! In this tho people havo boon doomed to I cVsappolntmont. Mr. Wananiakor, so fnt I as tho conducting of a fair, manly, open and dignified mode of wnrfaro Is con cornod, Is a fallen Idol. I Ho has provon himself to bo nn ordinary political mortal, ono of tho most ordinary, ovory day kind of a political clay at that, i No ono questions Mr. Wnnamakera right to aspire to tho ofllco of sonator that is a right common to ovory Amorlcan citizen who possesses the necessary Intolloctual qualifications; nor doos uuy person deny or sook to rostraln Mr. Wnnnmnkor'i right to tho use of every legitimate mothod by which his many vlrtuos, his numeroui qualifications aud boundless ability may bo mado known to thoso who are un-, familiar with his history. This would b legitimate and lionost politics, but thoro ' aro those, and wo are content to be classb i fled among tho number, that do protest against his use of that ponderous woapon, ( his yearly advertising, as a means by which he compels tho newspapers of his city to suppress their honost convictions. I This is a system of political warfare wmuu is us uiBgrucsiui 10 mm as u is ue grading to his woakkneed vlotlms. Mr. Wanamnker's patronage to tho newspapers of Philadelphia, byway of ad vertising, Is u matter of considerable con- sequonce, and it'is not surprising that tha newspapers In which his alluring nnd se ductive Invitations to tho pooplo appoar ! I fool kindly to him for his pntrouage, but i that Mr. W. should prosumo on this nnd uso as a throat his withdrawal of that patronage unloss the patronlzod papor sounds forth his praises nnd partlculor claims to ofllco, is despicable and cowardly. It Is tho denial of the right of individual judgmont on part of tho papers and proves that Mr. Wanamnker daro not permit nn honost expression from thorn as to his fit ness for the high ofllco to which ho has plumed his political wings. The motive, underlying actions of this kind nro un worthy of ony fair minded nianj uiuch loss ono who posos boforo tho pooplo as nn ap plicant for publlo favor, nnd still less ol ono who seeks n placo In tho halls of tha highest legislativo body of a groat nation. If a warfare of this sort comports Itself with Mr. Wannmakor's idoa of roctltudo and conscience, wo can only say that Mr, Wt's conscience Is In no Immediate dangei of disturbance by any of tho ordinary lapsos of practical life. Mr. Wananiakor Justly doiorvos tho eon sure of every fair minded citizen, and as to what cuoct conduct of this charactor may havo, or will have, on his iiosltlon In socloty nsn man claiming moro than or dinary sanotlty; a reputation ho has boen seeking to earn in tho past, wo commit to tho future to make answer. . t s Notwithstanding tho solid front pro sentod by a sudsldlzod press, In splto of Mr, Wnuamaker's millions and tho por cine combine Mr. Wnnamakor will nevor warm a seat In tho Unltod Stntes sonato. Opposod to him Isono ofthemostdashlng and brilliant of Pennsylvania's sons, who has entered tho fight dotormlnod to win.

Stato Sonator Dolso I'onrose, his principal competitor for tho sonatorshlp, Is comparatively n poor man, and is mado the subjeot for vicious and libelous circulars spread broad cast over tho stato. It Is charged that Republican momba -of tho legislature were nominated by the uso of boodle In. tli interests of Wnna maker, nnd it Is eafo to gay (hat the dollar mark will bo branded on tho forehead ot every momboraf tho legislature who votes for him; bocauso thoro Is nothing to spe cially; commond him for Unltod States son ator, elthor as to ability, Integrity or char acter, ns tha equal of some other candi dates.

It Is Im possible to say how much tlmo will bo re quired on tho bill, but Senator Lodgo Is hopeful that ho will got It through this week. Sonator Gibson, of Maryland, has announced his purposo to talk in opposi tion to tho bill, but ho dcolltios to stato whothor ho will resort to othor tactics to defeat It, It Is conceded that tho bill will pass If It should reach a voto. After tho immigration bill comes that providing for free homesteadson lands oc cupied by Indians ns reservations. Tho present liome.-tle.id law doos not apply to theso land i. It is claimed that tho fact that It doos not has cost many settlers tholr homostoad rights. Tho question Is a vital ono In many portions of tho wost, nnd has boen particularly prominent In Oklahoma. Sonator Pettlgrow Is tho ospoclnl cham pion of tho bill, nnd ho will show that It was lndorsod by tho national conventions of all the parties Inst summer. Tho bill will bo vigorously opposod.ns It Is claimed that Its ounctmont Into law would cost the government no loss than $25,000,000. It Is probablo that thoso two moasuros will consume tho greater part of tho tlmo of tho sonato this week, nnd It Is qulto posslblo that thoy may not bo disposed of. Tho bill providing for tho oloctlon of son otora by tho direct voto of tho pooplo Is a special ordor for today, but It may go over to a future data Sonator Allen Is likely to call up tho Dlngloy bill at any tlmo. I novo Is a possibility that congress may on Thursday or Friday adjourn over until nftor tho holidays. Tho Cuban quostlon may furnish n topic for n sensation at any tlmo. It has not yot beon decided whon tho holiday recess ot tho houso shall leglu, but nt Snturdny's conference of tho Re publican members of tho ways nnd moans commltteo n dato ns onrly ns Friday of this wcoK was suggested.
