and while this may be Urrely due -rh rit m5nt, afd worrT of American business Hie. It la more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion. Real, organic heart disease Is Incurable; but not one case In hundred of heart trouble Is organic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion la because both organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and xrueumogasiric. In another way.

aiso. the heart is affected by that form of poor digestion, which caises gas and fermentation from naif digested food; there la a feeling of oppression and heaviness In the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath. Poor digestion also poisons the blood, makes It thin and -watery, which iritates and weakens the heart. The most sensible treatment for heart trouble la to improve the digestion and to Insure the prompt assimilation ofLfood. This can best be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contain valuable, harmless digestive elements in a pleasant, convenient form.

It is safe to say that the regular, persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. Full sized package of the tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little book on stomach troubles mailed rree. Address tstuart Company, Marshall, Mich. Water Froat Reserved.

HA1 Secretary of State. Tha Treaiarer'i Report. Washington. Not. 8.

The treasurer of the United States, Hon. Ellis H. Roberts, the annual report on the transactions and condition of the treasury for the fast fiscal year. Tha net ordinary revenues of the government were an Increase of over those of the previous year, while the net ordinary expenditures were an increase of f77.594.-i32. The resulting deficiency of $38,047,247, exceeds that of tie preceding year by $194.795.

Up to the close of the fiscal year the of the war with Spain was $43,041,732 for the war department and 12402.438 for the navy department. For the four aonths, Joly, August, September and October. 1S3S, the expenditures of the mr department were $107,520,368, being SL613.131 rreater than for the same aoarhs Isj7. aavy department expended $27,453,577, which was $14,014,920 more than it spent la the like period of 1807.

Arainst a net loss of in the teal hoidlnrs available for the fiscal aptianons or the govemnent, there was Ktln of upwards of $26,000,000 In free fold, compared with an Increase of nearly in absolutely sseared deposits tth banks, and these changes were 5 acted at no greater cost than the loss faoennch in silver and treasury notes.

1S4. Another sale of bonds in November and December of that year brought in and the gold balance on Dec. 4, 1S4, was again $111,142,021. The remedy wu effectual for only a brief period, for on Feb. 11, 1S05, the treasury held only $41,340,181 In free gold.

Again bonds were sold, for which payments aggregating $65,428,006 were received, from February to June. Thus the net gold balance was carried up to $107,501. 2: iO bv July 8. 1895. Once more the relief was but temporary, and by Feb.

8, ISiXi, the rid balance had fallen to $44,563,403. or the fourth time resort was had to a sale of bonds, which produced, up to June, $111,355,612. and brought the gold balance up to a maximum of $128,615,700. from, which point it rank r.gain by July 22. 1896, to $89,600,975.

Since that time the reserve of $100,000,000 has not been trenched upon. With some fluctuations the tendency of the gold balance has been steadily upward. The sources of supply have been the mines of the northwestern states. Alaska and Australia, with importation from Europe, the customs and the hoards of the banks. The tenders of gold from banks and individuals in exchange for paper have been greater than the resources of the treasury have enabled ic to accept.

The Inert asing prodnct of the war revenue act, ccupled with the proceeds of the war loan, gave rise to a natural apprehension that the drain upon the currency of the country might create a stringency wiich would be harmful to business. To prevent such a result, cotlce was given that all coupons railing due on Oct. 1 might be presented for pay-n cnt on or after Sept. 10, and that checks for Interest on registered bonds of the loans would be sent out on Sept. 20.

or ss soon thereafter as they could be prepared. As a further measure of relief a circular was Issued by the secretary of the treasury glvine to the holders of of raclflc Railroad bonds, which fall due Jan. 1. 1S39, the opti of receiving payment of principal and interest in full, less a rebate of 1-2 of 1 per cent. The same option wr.s afterward extended successively to October and November.

When it became obvious by the sudden close of hostilities, that the demands upon the treasury -would not reach the magnitude for which provision had pru dently been made, the secretary determined to deposit a large share of the proceeds of the popu'ar loan in national banks in all parts of the country. By this process the funds, while at all times available for the use of the government, remained In the channels of trade. The balance standing to the credit of the treasurer on this account on the 31st of October was The result of these methods of dealing with the situation has been In all respects satisfactory, and the immense financial operations of the war have been conducted so that the money markets have been In no degree disturbed at any time. The oniy change of Importance In the public debt was the payment of of Pacific Railroad bonds. The remainder of this loan outstanding on June 30 was $14,133,500.

all of which will be pavable after Jen. 1. 1S99. The gradual Increase of the circulation of subsidiary sliver coins, which has drawn down the treasury holdings of them In the last fifteen years frnro to a little over $0.00) (XX). will soon make it necessary to provide a further supply of this class of currency.

The receipts of natiorai bank notes for redemption for tha year amounted to $97,112,000, as compared with for the year preceding. The total expenses of redemption were $125,924,035, and the annual assessment on the banks Is at the rate of $L2964 for each $1000 of notes redeemed. As a result of the retirement ot a large block of Pacific Railroad bonds, there were unusually heavy deposits of lawful money during the earUer part of the year, for the reduction of the banknote circulation, but since the appearance of the new 3 per cent bonds on the market, the volume of thMi notes has increased at a rate without precedent in recent years. ceding one department to form a federal district, similar to the oistrict of Columbia, where the seat of federal government 1 located. This ceded district surrounds tha calf of Fonsica.

The canital will remain here on til the congress ot the new republic eelecta a permanent cite for it.

It is pro vided aiso that the three presidents, ze lay a. Gutierres and Bonilla.

shall not be eligible at the first election, thus re moving all possibility of Influences fav orabie to one of the executives. The president Is made the commander-in-chief of the armv and navy, and his functions are nvoch in line as tfeose of the president of the United States. The inaugura tion of the president la fixed for March 15 next, and in the meantime, from Nov. 1. the executive oower will be directed by a council of three elected by the general assembly, these three being Coronet Mat as or Nicaragua; liaiiegos, or aaiva dor.

and Uart. of Honduras. The presl dentlal election occurs the first Sunday in December, and at tlie eame time representatives to the new house of representatives will be elected. The legislative power is given to a congress of two bouses, the senate being made up of six senators from each state and three from the federal district, while the houue of representatives has one representative for each 30.000 tnliabltant. Th'a makes a senate of twenty-one mom- iwre, and a house of about seventy members.

The congre meets next March 1, the inauguration of the president following on the 15th. The federal judiciary provided by the constitution is patterned after the system of the United States, and. indeed, throughout the constitution there is a close resemblance to the systems in this country. The governments of Nicaragua. Salvador and Honduras become states, their present presidents giving way to governors.

The states retain control over at fairs of a purely local character and have legislatures and direct local affairs, much as the states in thU country control their local affairs. The Nieerajruan canal project will hereafter be umier ttie direction of the new republic. The constitution provides, how ever, that all obligations of the separate states entered Into Nov. 1 will be upheld, so that sny concessions made by Nicaragua prior to that date will be operative From now on, however. It will oe the United States of Central America instead of Nicaragua, which will have entire control over the inter-oceanic canal route.

Senor Corea regards the new form of government as well suited to strengthen and develop the countries of Central America, giving tbem a mutuality of interests, and then a Joint force of rm sufficient to keep in abeyance the revolutionary spirit, which has found expression from ttme to time while the republics were separated. The Canal Question. Washington, Nov. 3. It Is said at the state department that our government has not yet protested against the reported action of the NIcaraguan government In granting a concession for the construction of the Nicaragua canal to Eyre and Cragln after the expiration of the Marit'me Company'9 concession next October.

What the department has done is not of recent date, and consists solely in the making of representations to the Siioaraguan authori ties, to the effect that the United States deemed it only fair and proper that the status quo snoum oe preserved in matters relating to the Nieuraguan canal con cession until the board headed by Ad miral Walker has had a chance to report. and congress an opportunity to consider' that report, lnis as, diplomatically, somewhat different from a protest. Ihe rea son that this action is taken is that the making of a new concession by the Nica- raguan government, even though it would take effect only on the expiring of the present concession to the Maritime Com pany, ciignt operate to prevent tne latter from obtaining an extension of its concession, to which it might be justly enti tled. In the event that congress should legislate upon the basis of a construction of the work under the auspices of the Maritime Company, this, of course, would seriously jeopardize the interests of the United Statea. At the present time the department is somewhat In the dark as to the details of the transaction at Managua, and has called upon United States Minister Merry for a report upon the subject.

It is sot probable that the peculiar action of the NIcaraguan government in hurrying this legislation through on the last day of the national independent existence of Nica ragua will influence the state department In its treatment of the subject, for so far in all Its dealings with the republics that, combined, formed the Greater Republic of Central America, the state department, following Secretary Olney's lead, has been careful to reserve all rights, such as concessions to individuals, aa well as govern mental rights, in treating with the newly loiuied organization. and Arthur Everett.

The department of justice, during the past few days, has been importuned by a large number of business men and lawyers to define the status of the Involuntary feature of the bankruptcy law passed during the last session of congress. Congress provided that when the Involuntary feature of the measure should go into effect it should be accompanied ty a set or rules and orders formulated by the supreme court of the United (States ror its execution, xne supreme court not having compiled these rules and orders, some question was raised as to whetberhe law could be properly enforced at Joe time provided for Nov. 1. The department of Justice to-day. how ever, held that the absence of these orders will not materially affect the enforcement of the law.

and that they are not abso lutely to the execution of the act. and tnat tnere is no need to wait until the supreme court rules. STEINWAY. KNADE, 8HONINCCR. MEHLIN, WALDORF.

THE HULROADS. SOUTHERN PACIFIC SHIPS HAVE A GLUT OF BUSINESS. Morgan Doers are in demand. "There neTer was auch a movement of New Tork freight," said Assistant Traffic Manager Masters, of the Southern Pacific, yesterday. "The company has been compelled to charter two other ships to handle the business, the Buena Ventura and the GeDeral Whitney.

These ships will he loaded at once and sent east in the regular service." Mr. Masters states that this unusual movement of New iork freight back and forth is the result of the quarantine restrictions being withdrawn, ror the next few weeks the congested state of New York business will be cared for by tbe company, and la a short while they hope to haTe everything running along at its normal pace. SCGAR BUSINESS AND RAILROADS. The remarkable fertility of the sugar coun try along the Mississippi Valley Road is easi ly seen by the fact that four cans trains and one sugar train are required to handle the business originating along the short eighty- nine miles between this city and Baton Rouge. A local official of the road said yesterday that he had been figuring op recently the mlleag-e.

of this road, and found that Included in the tracks of the sixty-two sidings between oere and Baton Route- there were nearly forti miles of track. There are sidings nearly every mile along the distance. Thus the necessitr of cane cars is seen, and the Valley people are supplying the need. The cane cars sro nacs ana rortn, carrrlnc tbe raw cane to the refineries, and the sugar train takes the surar rrom ice mills to tlie markets. Tbe Illinois Central people are very much pleased with tne cane crop tcis season along the Valley toaa, ana say teat nowhere Is there a mora fertile section in the state.

Washington, Nov. 3. A complete transformation of the geographic Central America occurred oo Sot. 1, by the birth of a new republic the United Statea of Central America, and the disappearance of the republics of Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras, except as state of the new onion. Senor Cores, charge d'affaires of these republlo during their transition stage, has received detailed In.

As? indicating tbe dignity and Importance of the United States of Central America, (Mr. Corea points) out that It has a pop ulation of about 2,000,000 and an area of about 160,000 square miles, great stretch of seacoaat and site for the Nicaragua canal, through which commerce will eventually pass from ocean to ocean. Jl treaty was made providing for union of the foreign affairs of the tfiree governments, and created a diet to treat with these foreign affairs. It did not amotrnt to a roTeminent, and In the opin ion of the state department here It was merely a confederation of separate governments for the parpose of conducting their foreign affairs la common.

3-A memorial, prepared by Charles Henry Butler and others, baa been presented to the president asking that this government call an International convention to consider the question of making private property free from capture on the high seas in time of war. The memorial pays a highly respectful tribute to the administration on the humane and speedy prosecution of the recent war. and point out Uiat thin government is in the test position of any power at present to take the initiative in such a humane movement without laying itself open to the imputation of selfishness. The memorial gives an interearUng resume of this country advocacy of free ships and free goods, and quotes the famous convention, whicb It will be remembered as follows: 'irst, privateering with arms is abolished; second, neutral ng covers enemy's good with the exception of contraband itt war: hird. neutral goods, except con traband of war.
