to Our Shores for is
To VISIT PRES. M’KII’TLB‘Y
Said to be a Trip for Health and Plea. \
Only. The Republic's Right in the Canfl
Question. Stability of the New Central
American Republic.
New York, Nov. 23.——Senor Don Ra-
fael Iglesias, president of the republic
of Costa Rica, who was granted a six
months’ leave of absence on account
of failing health, arrived here yester-
day from Port Limon on the Atlas n-
er Altai. ‘
He was met down the bay by Colonel
W. B. Carter, assistant adjutant gen-
eral, who came from Washington as
the personal representative of Presi-
dent McKinley, and Dr. Juan J. Ulloa,
consul general of Costa Rica to the
United States. ,
The meeting on the deck of the Alta _
was of the most friendly sort, and Col-
onel Carter, after welcoming Senor Ig—
lmias to this country, said that he
lw-d made all the necessary arrange-
l ents for a public or private reception,
‘ hichever was agreeable.
President Iglesias said that as he
is travelling practically incognito and
not on national business, he was op-
posed to display. He had simply come
here for pleasure and the benefit of
his health and expects to take a trip
to England and France and on his way
home will spend some time in the Uni-
ted States.
The president of Costa Rica, with
the members of his party, were taken
from the steamship aboard the army
tug General Meigs, and landed at the
foot of east Twenty-sixth street.
From there they were driven to a
hotel.
President Iglesias was accompanied
by Cd'lonel Leonoio Bonilla, Dr. Anto-
nio Giustaniani, Francisco Quezada,
his private Secretary: Ricardo Iglesias,
his brother; W. H. Lynn, his brother-
in-law; Mrs. Lynn and her two daugh-
ters, Miss Piza and General John S.
Casement, a contractor engaged on the
Costa Rica and Pacific Railroad. The
latter resides at Plainsville, 0.
The visit here of President Iglesias
at the present time, when there is so
much talk of the building of the canal
across Nicaraguanis believed to have
been brought about by the recent con-
cession granted to the Grace syndicate,
which goes into effect in October, 1899.
When this concession was announced
it was stated that Costa Rica’s oppo-
sition could not in any way affect the
new grant.
President Iglesias, when spoken to
about the proposed canal yesterday,
said Ithat Costa Rica has important
rights which it has reserved, and in»-
dicated that it was not all plain sail-
ing for the new syndicate. Further he
would not discuss the matter.
Dr. Ulioa said that the reason that
Costa Rica has not joined the Repub-
"1ic. of Central America, which is com-
posed of San Salvador, Nicaragua and
Honduras, is because the coalition is
; looked upon as an experiment, and not
by any means as a staple compact.
The revolt now in progress in San
Salvador, he added, is a serious one,
and is the outcome of the union which
went into effect on November 1.
The Open-Door Policy.
London, Nov. 23.——Most of the after—
noon newspapers comment upon and
express sitisfaction at the “open door”
intentions of the United States in the
Philippine islands.
The Pall Mall Gazette says: “What-
ever may happen in Porto Rico and
eventually in the United States them-
selves, America's colonial policy in the.
Pacific is the ‘open door.’
“It is a wise decision on every
ground—in the interests of the pros-
pcrity of the Philippines themselves
and as securing the good will of na-
tions really friendly to America in the
Pacific. The community of interests
of the two English speaking nations
are'thereby definitely assured.”
The Situation in China.
Pekin, Nov. 23.—The projected birth-
day audience of the dowager gempress
to the womcn of the diplomatic corps
has fallen through, owing to the dif-
cuiti'es raised by the Chinese in regard
to ceremonial matters.
The ministers of the foreign powers
insisted that foreign interpreters
should accompany the European wom-
en. To this the Chinese objected.
The health of the emperor of China
is said to be again causing grave anx-
iety to those about him. He is de-
scribed as being unable to walk unas-
sisted and it is expected in well inform-
ed circles that his end is near.
The Dreyfus Case.
Paris, Nov. 23.—Lieutenant Colonel
Plcquart. who has been confined in the
'Cherche Midi military prison for some
time, on the charge of revealing the
contents of certain important military
documents to a lawyer engaged in his
defence, was taken from the prison by
a side door yesterday and was driven
to the court of cessation.
The court, however, was fully occu-
pied with theexamination of Generals
Boisdeffre and Gonse, and was unable
to hear him, and he was taken back to
‘he Che-relic Midi prison without testi-
fying in the Dreyfus case. r.
The Silverware Trust.
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 23.-——Repre—
sentatives of the important silverware
-firm of R. “’ailace & Sons, at Wal-
lingford, Conn., say that it has not
joined the .new combination nor been

A BOO-N T0 MOTHERS.
If Any Norwalk Mother Has Looked for
This, Follow This Advice.
Wherever we go and among all class—
es, we find children suffering from
weak kidneys. The intelligent mother
knows that. this is not a habit and
searches for a. remedy. It is something
very hard to cure, and the family phy-
sician tells her that the child will out.-
grow it in time. Sometimes they do,
and sometimes they . do not. In the
meantime. annoyance and embarraSs-
ment, is the result. If anyone knows a.
remedy, is it. not an act of charity, is it
not a. duty to make it. public ? Should
selfishness or pride keep it. concealed ?
Mrs. Nellie Dunn of Winter and
Fourth streets, Aosonia, Ct., has used
Doan’s Kidney Pills in her family and
makes the followmg statement for the
benefit of anxious mothers and the re-
' lief of interesting little children. Mrs.
Dunn says:
“I have a. little boy of eleven years
of age that was very much troubled
with weak kidneys. When he was six
years old he would go in bathing
frequently and remain in for a. long
time. That was when '[ first noticed
any difficulty with his kidneys, but he
got so thathe would wet the bed every
night. I have taken him up at. eleven
o’clOck, but it would occur two or
three times before morning. This
caused me any amount of work and I
was not. strong, besides I knew that. it.
should not be neglected. yet we got
nothing to relieve him. Finally I read
somewhere that Doau’s Kidney Pills
would prevent such occurrences and I
procured them from a. drug store. They
have really been the means of strength-
ening the kidneys of the child, and
preventing the nocturnal urination. I
am very grateful to Doan’s Kidney
Pills and I hartilyerecommend them
to any mother having a child so afll iot-
ed. They will relieve the mother of
an enormous amount of work, the child
of much embarrassment, besides per-
forming a. duty the parent owes the
child to prevent it. from growing up
with weak kidneys.” '

riage that you delighted in cleanli-

NEGOTIATION EEEEEE
How Spain May Treat Our Recent
Demands.
DESPATCH FROM JUDGE DAY
Her Commissioners Undecided After Long~
Discussion. A Prediction that She Will
Refuse aOur Oiler for the Philippines,
but Let Us Work Our Will.
Paris, Nov. 23.—The Spanish peace
commissioners telegraphed to Madrid
the substance of the United States’ me-
morandum presented Monday, and late
in the evening discussed it among
themselves. -
As late as one o’clock Tuesday morn-
ing a Spanish commissioner affirmed
that he and his colleagues did not
know what to do regarding the Ameri-
can offer.
There is a difference of opinion am-
ong unofficial persons near the commis-
sions, but the prediction is made that
Spain will decline the American offer
of money, that she will refuse to cede
the Philippines, and will say to the
United States: ‘
“You may take the archipelago be-
cause you have the power to do so. As
you advance we will retire, protesting
against greedy aggression. We will
faithfully carry out our protocol pled-
ges, and leave Cuba and Porto Rico in
your hands. You came here to engage
in a discussion under the terms of the
protocol; but, you evidently meant,
when drawing up that document, to
provide a conference in which, though
we diifer, man to man, you proposed
to announce at the proper time what
you will do, whether We agree to it
or object. Such an attitude robs the
conference of a negotiative character,
and sets up the United States as a
dominant power whose first purpose is
to listen, but whose ultimate determin-
ation is to do its own will."
It is said that Senor Montero Rios,
president of the Spanish commission,
at the conference, remarked, after hav-
ing heard the American offer, that if
the vital portion had been read the
Spaniards could answer it instantly;
but, as the memorandum was very
long, they would postpone their an-
swer until Wednesday, adding that it
would be easily possible to make it
within forty-eight hours.
On the other hand, it is asserted that
the Spaniards cannot justify them-
selves before their people and others
by throwing away $20,000,000, added to
the inevitable loss of the Philippine is-
lands.
The Gaulois says: “The commissions
being divided into an equal number of
voices on the subject of the cession or
retention of the archipelago, a recourse
to arbitration is absolutely necessary
and legal. The Americans, neverthe-
less, refuse to do so, and attribute to
themselves sovereignty over the Phil-
ippines without the consent of the con-
ference. They, therefore, themselves.
tear up the protocol they had imposed
upon the vanquished, and to keep up
appearances and soften in the eyes of
the world the violence of their pro-
ceedings, they offer the absurd com-
pensation of $20,000,000.”
A Despath from Judge Day.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 23.—At- the
cabinet meeting yesterday a brief tele-
gram was read which had been sent
from Paris by Judge Day. It was sub-
stantially in accord with the newspa-
per reports of the proceedings.
No reference was made to any ex-
citement attending the meeting, or to
any open disagreement. It was stated
that the next meeting would take place
to-day, when a reply from the Spanish
commissioners was expected.
The cabinet discussed the matter and
it was the judgment of the members
that there will be at least one more
meeting after to-day, even if the Spa-
niards conclude to reject the American
proposals.
No doubt is entertained among mem-
bers of the cabinet that the peace
treaty will be signed within the next
few days.
the cabinet also discussed the Cuban
situation, and it was brought out that
the Spaniards hope to be able to com-2
plete the evacuation of Havana by
December 20.
Antl-Scalping Law Invalid.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 23.—The court of
appeals reversed the decinsion of the
appellate division in the case of Geo.
Tyler for a. writ of mandamus to com—
pel the warden of the New York prison
to release him from custody, in which;
is involVed the constitutionality of the
so-called' anti-scalping law.
The lower court held by a unanimous
decision that the selling of tickets by
Tyler, for which he was arrested and
sent to jail, was contrary to the anti-
scalping law, which law does not vio-
late the state or the national constitu-
tion of the interstate commerce act.
This decision declares the anti—scalp-
ing law unconstitutional and orders
the release of Tyler. » ’
Yukon Railway Schemes.
Montreal, Nov. 23.—'l‘he British Yu-
kon Mining, Trading and Transporta«
tion Company will apply to the next
session of the Dominion parliament for
permission to change its name to the
British Yukon Railway Company; also
to‘e'x‘tend its system from Fort'Selkirk
to Dawson, and'thence to the Alaskan
boundary; for power to build railway
lines from Caribou Crossing or Tagish
Houses to Teslin lake or erer, and to.
Atlin, and to construct branch lines in
Yukon, each not to eXCeed fifty miles
in length. This is the company which
has already completed the building of
a railway from Skaguay over the
White Horse Pass.
Back from the Canal.
New York, Nov. 23.~—A' batch of
eight surveyors employed by the Uni-
ted States canal commission, of which
Admiral Walker had charge, has re-
turned from Greytown, Nicaragua on
the Atlas liner Altai.
They were known as the Precise
Level and Boring party, and were un-
der Stephen Harris, who returned’ with
them.
Thesurveyors are Patrick J. Tier-
ney, David H. Baldwin, Oscar Jones,
