Another Berlin journal, the Post says :— It is almost certain that the Baltic Squad- ron will encounter the Japanese in the In- dian Ocean. This can be gathered from the
fact that two Japanese steamers, which had been used on the Pacific liner service and transformed into auxiliary cruisors, have appeared of Singapore and were com- municated with by the Japanese Consul. It is also stated that the crews of the two armed cruisers reported that a powerful Jer panese squadron was coming to Singapore. From the Japanese standpoint, it would bờ
a certain advantage to fight in the Indian Ocean. While the Russians have no bear of operationss in that direction and are

THE VALUE OF ARMY!
MANŒUVRES,
WASHINGTON, Nov, 28,
An officer of the General Staff to-day

had omitted making provision for Army Special Arrangements for Season-Contracts.
manoeuvres in his annual estimates soon te
be submitted to Congress. This offiçar sald that Secretary Taft had reached the conclusion that the manoeuvres, while
valuable, were not worth the money they had cost
An additional reason for cutting
out the item for manoeuvron is Scoretary
GROSSMANN & Co.
THOMAS'
HOTEL.
Taft's desire to make a good record of A FIRST CLASS HOTEL, most contrally stunted; Well Furnished and Airy economy in the conduct of the Department,
He will ask Congress for only $103,000,000 against $125,000,000 naked for last year.
Many important estimates recommended by chiefs of bureaux and department com mandera are omitted in the final list as approved by Secretary Taft. His estimates aro declared by Army officers to be the most ruthless exercise of the pruning knife over known to the Department.
Secretary Taft is strongly in favour of purchase of sites for permanent manœuvre camps, and if called upon by Congress would no doubt renew his recommendation that the four sites recommended by the special board be purchased. But that is a matter for Congress to consider apart from Army expenditures, and cannot be charged to the War Department. Strong efforts will be made early in the Session to pass such a Bill, or one similar to it, providing for manœuvre camp sites in California, Texas, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. If Congress should pass such an Act, appro- priations for the improvement of sites and for maumuvres would necessarily follow. It is pretty certain, however, in view of Secretary Taft's action in omitting the item from the estimates for the fiscal year 1908 that there will be no manœuvres next year.
CONSTIPATION AND HEADACHE.
BILL BEANS CUBE BOTH,
Hnecessitated the use of vinegar band- EADACHES of a violent nature which
ages round the head, were the lot of Miss Mabel Grace Mills at The Woodlands, Park Road, Wood Green, London, Eng., until abe found relief in that popular vegetable medicine Bile Beans. Miss Mills was troubled with constipation, and the headaches were the direct result of this complaint. Describing her sufferings and cure abe says —
I suffered torribly from headache, some- times so bad that it was just like a fire barning within me. These headaches were the result of constipation, from which I had suffered since childhood. So severe wore the headaches that for days I went about with vinegar bandages across the top of my head in order to ease the pain. If I stooped I would become so giddy that for a minute. or two I would be completely dazed. At night I had terrifying dreams; and a curious thing was, that I always dreamed of death. In additon to these troubles I had acute pains in my shoulders and around. When I was fourteen I broke a my waist, blood vessel owing to excessive vomiting, and when I got older the periodical ailment which women suffer from was very trouble- some and caused me much pain I used to have bad attacks of toothache also, and became quite sallow.
I went under several doctors, who treated me for disordered liver and consti.. pation. My parents and myself all along attributed my illness to constipation, but this was in turn due no doubt to liver.com- plaint. Nothing seemed to relieve me. Some months ago my mistress advised me to try Bile Beans, so I commenced taking them. In a short time the constipation and headaches were removed and gradually every other ailment followed. For some months now I have been enjoying splendid health. These months have been the hap piest of my life. I never before knew what it was to feel so well, or enjoy such good spirita." sag

AXATINE is the mildest aperient known. It is pleasant in taste, not drastic but Lorain in action and even in large doses is harmless. Larstine being non irrit able will be found a great boon, to ladies especially, and in cases where the kidneys are irritable or diseased. Laxatine is strongly recommended by the Continental Authorities and is being largely used in the London hospitals. Messrs A. S. WATSON & Co.

The full text of the Capitulation Agree ment, which was signed at 9.45 p.m. on the 2nd of January, is as follows —
Article 1.-Russian military and naval men, volunteers, and offcials in the Rus. sien fortress in Port Arthur and in Port Arthur harbour are all made prisoners of
War.
Article 2.-All the fortresses, redoubts, warships, steamers, and small craft, arms, ammunition, horses, and all the other mili- tary materials, buildings, and government property in Port Arthur are to be surren dered to the Japanese army in their status
in quo,
Article 3.-Ip guarantee of the foregoing two stipulations, by noon of the 3rd Jan- uary the forts on Itzoshan, Siso Antzeeban, Ta Antseshan, and the fortress and re- doubts on the heights south-cast of these forts are to be evacuated and handed over to the Japanese Army.
Article 4-If it should be considered that the Russian army or navy destroyed the objects mentioned in Article 2, which existed at the time of signature of this agreement or in any manner changed their condition from the status in quo, the agree meut shall be cancelled and the Japanese Army shall take free action.
Article. 5.-Russian military and naval officerasball hand over the plan of distribut- ion of the fortresses in Port Arthur, the plan of the underground and submarine mines, and other dangerous defensive work, a list of the organisation of the army and navy in Port Arthur, a list of titles
and ranks of military and naval officers, a
or too early supper! They have the privilege of flying past some of the loveliest scenes of France without seeing them-even if they cared to look at them. Such is the glory of mechanical science. The Fying Frenchman beats all previous European records. That's the point. Over some portions of the track the Flying Frenchman will 'do' his seventy" oight miles an hour. We are restricted to that maximum limit,' says the traffic manager. The average speed over the entire distance exceeds fifty miles. It is hoped that the Flying Frenchman may attract new customers from John Bull's foggy, chilly island.
Until the end of December the Flying Frenchman will start from the Gare de Lyon every day except Sundays. After that, for four months every day, Sundays included. There will be short stoppages
