A FATAL OPERATION.
A Young Woman Drops Dead from
a Doctors Chair.
KILLED BY COCAINE.


chs "hs DhuerEolnR fSinful Process
for the Removal of Facial BIemishe.,
and tho Drug Was Used to Lessen Her
Suffering.
CHICAGO, Oct BELLE White, "a years
of age, daughter of Benjamin S. White, a
wealthy lumberman of Grand Rapids,
Mich, died at Woods hotel while under
treatment for the removal of facial blem-
ishes. Death was caused, it is supposed,
by the use of coooine to deaden the pain
from the application of an electrical cur
rent which constituted the means of treat
ment. The operator was DR.. Sophie Santa,
OF the DIR. Sophie Santa company. Eliza
A. James, the business partner of DIR.
Santa, was assisting in the operation at
the time. In one hand DIR. Santa held the
electric needle, and in the other sponge
saturated with per cent. solution of
cocaine, which she applied at intervals
to deaden the intense pain caused by the
needle. She had almost completed the
treatment when Miss White gasped for
breath, and before the operator could as
sist her she slid from the chair to the
floor dead
| Aid was hastily summoned and restora-
tives applied, but without avail, the
young woman having died almost in
stantly. DR.. Tallman, tho only physician
called, arrived too late to be of any assist
ance, and as the people In the room where
the dead girl Law acted in rather a strange
manner he informed the police and DR.

until the exact cause of the vounr ,vn.

RATIFIED BY CHINA.
That Nation Satisfied with the
Newly Made Treaty.
MINISTER YANG w NOTIFIED.

The OnciaI Document of Ratification Now
on the Way TO tho United States, and
the Treaty VIII Doubtless Become Law
Within tho Month.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Modification was
given to the government in an informal
way OF the ratification by the Chinese
government of the new treaty between
the United States and China, which was
negotiated by Secretary of State Gresham
and Chinese Minister Yand Yu aud rati-
fled by senate on the part of the United
States. Only the formal exchange Of
Publications between the department of
state and the minister is to be transacted
Tor the purpose of making the treaty the
law governing the relations of the two
powers, and this certainly will doubtless
take place within the month.
Il Minister Yang Yu called upon Secretary
Gresham last week and said to him that
he received word from his government
that it had ratified the treaty, and that
the document had been forwarded to him;
also that he had received instructions to
exchange notifications with the United
States as soon as 1t was delivered to him.
H The treaty, with the Chinese seal and
signatures, was sent from Pekin about
four weeks ago, being forwarded by way
OF Shanghai. In the ordinary course of
communication, six weeks would. be re-
qnired for its transmittal to Washington,
so that it is not expected at the legation
for two weeks, the minister said.
H This Is the first authentic information
recei we'd in this country regarding the ac-
ton of the Chinese authorities on the
treaty. So long time has elapsed since
the treaty was drawn that speculations!
had begun to float about in semi official
circles whether the Chinese authorities I'M
Tended to ratify the treaty, whether theyl
We're not dissatisfied with 1t or were not
delaying the exchange of ratification toI
serve some diplomatic purposes of their
own.
1t would seem from the information
given to the secretary of state by the
Chinese minister that the speculatons
have been without much ground. As the
diplomatic business of the government is,
from its nature, transacted secretly, Min
lister Yang Yu's communication to the
secretary of state was not made known
until Secretary Gresham's attention was
called to the speculation afoat concerning
the course of the Chinese government. /
Then Secretary Gresham gave to the
Associated Press reporter that true status
of the matter, and said, in effect, that the
reports that there was any cause for dis
satisfaction over the way China was pro-
ceeding toward the consultation of the
treaty were entirely groundless.
