Washington December 14 The ne-
gotiations between the United States
nnil Great Britain for a treaty of gen-
eral arbitration covering all subjects of
difference between the two Kiijjllsh
speaking nations present nuil prospec-
tive has advanced to a stage of com-
pleteness far beyond what the public
has had reason to believe The public
lias had reason to believe The pur-
pose of Secretary Oluey and Sir Julian
Iauncefoto Is to conclude the negotia-
tions within the next three weeks All
of the substantial features of the trelty
have been agreed on From the pres-
ent status of the negotiations It Is be-
lieved the following will be the Import-
ant terms of the treaty
1 A termof live years from the date
el the exchange of rnllilcatlon within
which the treaty shall be operative
2 The submission to this tribunal of
all differenced between the two tuitions
uow pending or to arise within the po-
lled of live years this not to Include
the Bering Sea question or the Vene-
zuelan commissions but to Include the
boundary between Alaska and British
North America
The completion of this treaty will
mark an Important epoch In the tela
tlous between the two English speaking
nations and In the Judgment of those
who have been most Identified with Its
consummation It will bo tho most
Important document of a peaceful char-
acter In the history of their mutual
dealings
The president made passing alluvion
to the subject In his recent message It
hud been understood however that
the main purpose of Mr Oluey was to
reach an agreement with Venezuela
and that having accomplished this the
Jarger question of arbitrating all dif-
ferences would require considerable
time for Its complete development But
the negotiations havo proceeded with
surprising unanimity so that those en-
gaged In the work confidently believe
that It will bo fully agreed upon nnd
the signatures of the contracting par-
ties placed to the documents within
three weeks This will give fully two
umiiths for the consideration and rati-
fication of the treaty at the present
seMilon of the United States senate and
unless some unexpected obstacle
should arise In that quarter there is
ever reason to anticipate that the
treaty may bo raado effective before
the close of the present administration
At least this Is the confident hope and
e ptojhtjdn of tirpso most concerned In
the negotiations

sider tho matter at Its next session

Tho stago manugor announced
that sho would hang suspondod from

support a heavy cannon by hor tooth
whllo it was discharged At tho

lifted tho cannon and loft it dangling

Sitting Bull and his warriors by
this time had become extromoly
nervous They looked at oaeh other
inquiringly as if thoy suspeoted that

Thoy jabbered at each other excited-

Skin Eruptions
Scrofula Eczema Tetter and simi-
lar diseases can not be cured by local
applications of ointments and lini-
ments for the disease is in the blood
and can only be reached by a blood

Mr Thomas N Tlnncy of Corpus
Christ Texas writes
For years I suffered
j from Scrofula which
seemed to grow worse
T under the treatment of
physicians At times
Rl inn the dreadful disease
umjuui would extend to differ-
ent parts of my body causing severe
eruptions of the skin and untold suf-
fering The many prescriptions I
took did me no good and the local ap-
plication of remedies did not seem to >
reach the trouble at all for they had
no effect whatever I retorted to al-
most every patent medicine recom-
mended for the blood but without re
suit
I had almost despaired o everbclng
rid of this dreadful taint in my blood
when by the advice of friends I began
to takeS S S Swifts Specific and
before 1 had finished
the second bottle I no THE
ticed an improvement
How much money and RIGHT
suffering I could have
saved if I had only be RFMFI1Y

gun the right remedy 1
This S S S proved to be for as I
continued its use I grew better and
was finally cured completely of a dis-
ease which had cursed my life for
years and had withstood the treat-
ment of many socalled blood reme-
dies as well as of the best physicians
S S S also cured me of a severe case
of rheumatism It is the only real
blood remedy on the market
It is not difficult to be cure d of any
