FRANCE MOST ASTUTE (Continued from First Page.) , allied powers to Mr. Bowrn's latest pro posal arrived here yesterday, but. have not yet been presented to the minister. Thla Mr. Bowen considers a hor-cful aim. n courteous terms the allies refuse their consent 'to the proposition that the t'nlted States and other claimant nations rerelvo the same treifment as the blockading powers. Knowing the consequences that were to follow this answer the representatives . of the allies look upon themselves the re sponsibility of withholding the notes and of again cabling, urging; a retraction of the preferential demands. The exchanges sre still In progress be tween tho Italian, British and German embassies, but there Is no evidence thtt the allies Intend yielding. It they hold out, their representatives must present the Joint refusal and Washington negotiations will come to a standstill. Baron Speck von Sternberg today spent two hours In conference with Count Quadt, who, aa charge d'affaires, has thus far con ducted the Venezuelan negotiations for Oermany. The German minister was placed In possession of the correspondence which hss passed between Mr. Bowen and the allied powers and was advised by the count of the serious hitch which bad arisen ak a result of the contention of the triple alli ance for preferential treatment. Meanwhile Mr. Bowen la biding hlr time. He is keeping Caracas informed as to the situation here and Is counselling patience, hoping that the powers will yet yield. As a matter of fact, he has so. far re ceived no Intimation from the powers that they are really dnslrous. of settling tha Venezuelan dispute at Washington, as (hay have thus far merely received his sugges tions with counter propositions, Mr. DeMargerie today informed Secretary Hay be had received specific Instructions to Insist that France shall not be discrim inated against In the settlement tit the Venezuelan claims. When shown the dispatch regarding' the explanation given In Berlin of the apparent hitch In the Venezuelan negotiations, Mr. Bo'wen said: All settled forelan claims are covered by the IS per cent ararna-ement. The 30 per cent proposition now offered Be f era exclu sively to unsettled claims, which not only the blockading power, but the peaceful powers, are pressing for settlement It Is absolutely false that the 13 per cent arrangement Is Included In the SO per cent proposition. It Is entirety distinct. There has been so much -confusion, dis cussion and misunderstanding in regard to this question of percentage that I am Will ing to make thla statement. - HOPE FOR MRS.

Mark Twain' cure ior a cold In the head was simple, but be clalma very effective In his own case; his plan was to eat nothing whatever-for twenty four houra or pre sumably until the trouble had disappeared. Although not able to speak from per aonal experience as to the effectiveness of this treatment, it certainly haa the merit of extreme ,ecomony, but It occur to us that the application of It to a. case of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficulties. Catarrh, as everyone knows. Is a chronic cold la the bead and Mr. Twaln'a treat ment. If It ahould become a fad, would mrfke of us nation of fasters: an army, emulating tbe example of the Immortal Tanner , who achieved world wide fame by fasting forty daya. Catarrh is certainly becoming a national disease and there I little doubt but that errors In diet, particularly over eating Is a very common cause. Most people however are more interested In the cure of the trouble than In tbe cause. and modern medical science haa produced more effective and less heroic remedies than Mr. Twain's. Hydrastln is a new remedy, very effective In some forms of Catarrh. Red Gum Is an other which on account of its antlseptlo properties la very valuable, while many severe casea of Chronlo Catarrh have beu entirely cured by tho sangulnarla or ex tract ot Blood roet alone. Within a year an enterprising chemist has combined all of these remedies In tab-.i let form, palatable and convenient and the suoerlorlty ot this lableta over other ca tarrh remedies is so apparent that alt druggists now carry thm in atock to sup ply the popular demand. They are called Stuart' Catarrh Tablets and It la doubtful If any medicine has achieved a national popularity In ao short a time as this. ' Stuart's Catarrh Tablets ar ued by thouaand of traveling men because tbey csn be carried la tbe packet and used any time and In any quantity . being free from Cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug. Tbey clear the head and throat from the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very often In a few hours time.

For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh and catarrh of stomach, these tableta give im mediate relief and a permanent cur wher lotion, douche and Inhaler make no im pression, whatever.

Baron Speck von Sternberg, the new German minister, who arrived In Wash ington last night,. was presented to Presi dent Rootevelt today by Secretary Hay. The call was format,, the baron desiring to present' his credentials as special minis ter from Oermany to this country before the taking charge of the embassy's affairs In tbe absence of Ambassador von Holle ben. The exchanges were verbal, the president for this occasion waiving the usual prepar atory ceremonlea and Baron Sternburp con fined himself to an exposition of the em peror's friendly feeling for tho United States' and his own gratification at being able to return to America In this capacity. The president responded In a felicitous vein, incidentally expressing the hope that tbt baron's coming would result In the set tlement of all pending questions, this being an indirect reference to the Issues. Beyond this, the question waa not dis cussed. The baron called upon Minister Bowen this afternoon. In a subsequent Interview Baron Stern berg expressed the .gratification he felt at returning to ihu 'United States. He said: 'i ' As I return to. America as a minister plenipotentiary 1 am reminded of the changes that have taken plHce since I was here more than ten years ngo as a mili tary attache. Then your president waa a civil service comllssloner. I do not pose as a prophet, tut when I first met Mr. Roose velt I waa deeply impressed with hla un tiring energy and essential sincerity of purpose. It Whs this combination that convinced me that some dy 1 would sej him at the head of thla groat tiation. When I euld godbye to him on my de parture from Washington the first time 1 added: "When I BRain congratulate you, Mr. Roosevelt, you will be one step nearer the White House." On hearing of his appointment as assist ant swretary of the nnvy, I wrote him: "Permit me to congratulate you on this second step nearer the presidency." and when he was elected governor of New York 1 telegraphed him: "The next time I offer you my congratulations it will be Prenl detit Roosevelt." I believed he would be president because I knew the!1 stuff he was n.ade of. To mo, and the same opinion prevails In Europe, your president Is the personification of what la good and great and healthy In America. Captain Hobaon Ketlre. ' Captain Rlchmond'P.
