THE
MURPHY
TREATMENT.
CONSUMPTION
Can be cured by this latest and
greatest discovery known to
medical science.
THE TREATY
V IS SIGNED.
®r Charles A Batdwi* in late fr*»
(Chicago, where it is being •aooaeafully
« ployed in all leading hospital*.
This treatment has the endorsement
•f the medical profession at large. Thin
discovery has deuioBst rated beyond the
•eradventure of a donbt its utility.
The theory on which this discovery is
baaed appeals to all sensible people,
both in the laity and the medical pro-
fession. It is a well known fact that
rest to the afflicted part is the most im-
portant factor in the enre of any inflam-
matory conditions. By this discovery
absolute rest to either lnng is produced
withont the least danger to the afflicted.
Dr Baldwin has used the treatment
smecessfnlly in Chicago and Denver. He,
together with a unniber of his associ-
ates, have employed it exclusively for
the past four months. 1’hyHiciaus all
over the country are sending oonsump
tives to Chicago for this cure. There is
•very reason to believe that any treat-
ment for consumption that affords even
benefit in Chicago will cure in this
favorable climate To all afflicted with
any stage of pnlmonory tnbercolosis
the Doctor offers fra* consultation and
•lamination and courts the most rigid
investigation of the claims made for
this recent and important discovery.

Paris, Dec. 10.—The treaty of peace
was signed at 8:45 this evening. The
treaty, as signed, consisted of seventeen
articles, it having been found advisable
to snb divide two or three of the articles
in the draft agreed npon at the last
meeting.
The commissioners of the two nations
wrote their signatures on two copies of
the treaty, one copy being for the
archives. The document was prepared
by Secretary Moore on behalf of the
United States commission and by Senor
Villvuti for Spain, on aocoant of the
continued illness of Secretary Ojeda of
the Spanish commission.
Each copy contains English Hand
Spanish texts of the treaty in parallel
columns’ The wording had beeu ap-
proved previously by the commisions
withont a joint meeting, so there was
no controversy on this subject.
The signing of the treaty tonight
would have afforded a subject for a
great historic painting. The group
gathered about the table of the stately
chamber of the foreign office, was im-
pressive in itself, while the fact that a
sense of the momentousness of the is-
sues of the act decided was deeply felt
by all participants and gave an impres-
sive and solemn tone to the scene.
Aronud the great mahogany table sat
the arbiters of the destinv of the old
and the young nation. Ranged about
and behind them were the numerous
attaches of the American commission.
The jets from the crystal chandeliers
above the heads of those present mag-
nified the brilliant green and scarlet of
the tipholsterings in their gladness.
There was a contrast b-tween the
black clothed arbiters and the scenery
To the Americans it was a happy end-
ing of the epilogue of war. For the
Spaniards it was plainly a bitter trage-
dy, none the less painful because long
foreseen. They sat silently,*as though
almost crushed, and none could with-
hold sympathy for Senior Montero Rios,
president of the Spanish commission,
who, coming from his lied, was bundled
in a great overcoat, though logs were
burning in the fireplace near by.
Althongh the commissions met at
half past 3 o’clock, expecting to finish
their work in half an hour, the engross-
ing of the treaty on parchment was
fonud to bf^eo troublesome, that it de
laved the signing of the document until
8:50. Clerk Martin of the American
commission, worked all day, without
even stoppinir to eat When he came
into the chamber at 7 :!10 with the docu-
ment he fonnd the commissioners wait-
ing The ) Spanish copy had arrived
half an hour earlier. Arthur Ferguson
then proceeded to read first the English
and after that thp Spanish version of
the treaty This finished, the two
copies were passed aronnd the table, the
commissioners signing them in the order
of rank:
Win R, Day. Senator Cushman K.
Davis. Senator Win. P. Frye, Whitelaw
Reid and Senator George Gray, Senor
Montero Rios, Senor Abarznza, Senor
Carnioa. Senor Villuurutia and General
Cerero y Saons, each commissioner
signing its opponents treaty. Both were
tied with Spanish and American colors.
When the seals w- re parpared to be af
fixed the attendants were sent scurry
lag for ribbons of the French tri colors
with which the documents were sealed
as a compliment to the French hosts of
thecommissions. Many officials interest-
IJy watched every detail of the pro-
fcdings.
The lust seal being impressed, the
commission rose and, without formal
ity each member shook the hand of all
his antagonists and exchanged assur-
ances of sincere personal esteem. The
Spaniards afterwards commented acrid
ly .upon what they termed the bad taste
of the Americans in mustering a crowd
of attaches to gloat over the consuma-
tion of their downfall and scramble
for relics.
The signing was finished at 8:45. At
that time the door of the chamber open-
ed and Senor Villanrntia appeared and
exclaimed to the group of correspond
ents who were waiting in the corridor,
•Test fini.”
Other members of the Spanish com-
mission followed Senor Villanrntia and
passed silently through the vestibule to
their awaiting carriages. The Amer-
ican commission strolled out chatting
complacently, and as they descended
the steps the lights in the ehamlier were
darkened.

Prescott, Ariz., Dec. 10—A head end

man was killed and four others were
wounded, one probably fatally. . A

yards when it met the regular Prescott
Won the Six liny Ban aod Heat the
World’* Record.
New York, Dec. 10—Charles W.
Miller, of Chicaeo, last year's six day’s
champion, won the great race at Madi-
son Square Garden again this year,
beating the world’s reoord, his o*n, by
24 miles, and leading the next man to
him, Frank Waller, of Boston, by 22
miles.
Thirty-‘ vo men started when the
pistol sounded a few minutes after mid-
night, Monday morning last, and
twelve finished. One by one, twenty of
the men had been counted oat, either
by themselves on account of lack of
staying powers or by the physicians in
attendance.
Miller, however, and Walter and
Pierce, the three men who had been
always in the lead, have gone steadily
along in the heartbreaking race, and of
all those who finished they were by far
the freshest. Indeed, Miller was in
suen good condition this afternoon be
was able to appear to advantage in the
wedding ceremony, which, was per-
formed by one of the city’s aldermen,
leading Miss Genevieve Hanson, of Chi-
cago, to an improvised altar in the
garden, amid loud cheering and the
boisterous good wishes of 7000 or 10,000
people, who had gathered to witness the
ceremony. At rhat time Miller was
miles aherd of all the others, and thus
whs able to enjov this little recreation
Frank Walter, of Boston, finished
second in the great race tonight, cover-
ing 1987 miles to the 2007 traveled by
Miller, and surpassing Miller's last
year’s record by nearly two miles.
Teddy Hale Chrisman, who in 1898
won the championship, was next to the
last, having just managed to get over
the 1500 miles.
By winning the six day race, Miller
gets from the management the sum of
iil,500, and from breaking the world's
record, he gets the sum of $200 addi-
tional. and for his public marriage this
afternoon he is said to have got $500.
Miller is also said to have received a
wedding present of $200 from the wheel
firm for whom he rides. Waller gets
$1.(K)0 for riding second and the others
get indefinite sums ranging from $75
apiece np.
THE MARRIAGE.,
New York, Dec. 10—Miller and Miss
Hanson were married in Madison
Square Garden at 4:40 p. m. today. The
wedding occurred iu one of the boxes
which surround the bicycle track, Al-
derman Wentz of this city performing
the ceremony. Miller had to lie lifted
in the box by his trainers, so overcome
was he by hard work. Mrs. O'Donnell,
mother of the bride, gave Miss Hanson
away. Mrs. Schinneer acted as brides-
maid, while Arthur Gardiner of Chi-
cago acted as best man. A tremendous
cheer went up from the crowd as Miller,
now a sure winner, and Miss Hanson
were declared man and wife. To cap
the climax of enthusiasm, Waller went
over and kissed the bride. The race
was then continued.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Resolution* Adopted Making It* Action
Binding Upon Participant*.
Washington, Dec. 10—The Demo-
crats of the house of representatives
held a caucus'tonight on the question
coming over from last session, as to the
binding force of a caucus action. 1 lie
meeting was held in the hall bf repre-
sentatives at 8 p. in., and of the 120
members on the roll call of the house,
86 were present.
The meeting was devoid of any per-
sonal or sensational features, and was
devoted to a brief discussion of the wis
dom of making caucus action binding.
A resolution to this effect had been in-
troduced and this was pending, with an
amendment by McRae of Arkansas.
The main interest centered in the
ability of Bailey and his friends to pass
the resolution. In order to test the
strength of the Bailey forces. Clardy of
Kentucky, moved to reconsider the
yote by which the resolution had been
agreed to at the last session. The mo-
tion was tabled, 09 to 13, thus estab-
lishing that advocates of the resolution
had a clear majority.
The resolutions have been adopted
withont division. They Bre as follows:
"Resolved, that hereafter the action
of the Democratic caucus shall be bind-
ing upon all who participate in its pro-
ceedings, provided that no member
shall be required to vote for any bill
which he may deem unconstitutional,
and provided further, that in all mat-
ters except the nomination of officers
and questions of procedure, no decision
shall be binding unless made by two-
thirds of those voting.
Resolved, that while acting in con-
formity to the principles declared by
the last national Democratic convention
and the constitution of the United
States' the Democrats in each state and
in each congressional district have a
right to determine for themselves in
their own locality what their policy
shall be, make platforms, accept pledges
from their candidates, and instruct
their members of congress, and the full
exercise of such right of a local party to
self government should in all cases he
respected by Democratic congressional
caucuses.”
Beyond the adoDtiou of the foregoing
no action was taken, and at 9 o'clock
the caucus adjourned.
Bailey said after the caucus:
“I have no desire to difcuss the action
of the canfins father than to say it must
now be plain to all thinking men that
the stories oA serious divisions in the
Democratic party were the invention of
a few sensational newspapers.’’

Tlie Committee to Investigate Them Make*
Few Kerowmeudatton*.
Washington, Dec. 10—The sub-
committee of the senate committee on
commerce, appointed|to investigate the
Woods in the Mississippi river under the
resolution of April 29, 1897. and to make
recommendations for their prevention _
iu the future, held a meeting today and’
practically agreed upon the form of the
report to be made to the full committee.
The sub committee presented the re-
sults of its labors in a printed volume
'over 500 pages giving the testimony
Ken, together with several maps and
illustrations pertinent tc the work in
hand.
The committee furnishes much prac-
tical information, gives* some interest-
ing conclusions, but makes compara-
tively few recommendations. They dis-
cuss the reservoir and outlet system and
declare that both are impracticable for
the prevention Of overflows on a big
scale.
The conclusion is reached that the
improvement of the south pass to the ex-
tent necessary to render it deepMnongh
to accommodate the largest modern
ships is impracticable in view of the ex-
pense, and the opinion is indicated
that the southwest pass opens the only
feasible deep water outlet to the sea.
No recommendation is made for legis-
lation looking to the improvement of
this waterway._
