Japan's Demands.

The money indemnity to be paid by
China to japan Is stated authori-
tatively to be in Chinese taels instead
of Japanese yen. That would seem to
determine the metal in which it is to
be paid. The Chinese tael is a weight
of silver; the Japanese standard yen is
a gold coin. Stated in silver the in
demnity is about S399, 900 900. If pay
ment is demanded in the actual silver
there will be market for the material
which will be likely TO improve its
price everywhere.
Other conditions of peace demanded
by Japan are the independence of
Corea and the permanent cession of
the island of Formosa to japan. The
only other territorial cession de-
manded is the fortress and naval sta
tion of Port Arthur and its contiguous
territory. The possession of Port Ar
thur will virtually give japan control
of the Gulf of Petchili and access to
Pekin A strong japanese naval force
can always be maintained there, ready
to operate in the direction of Pekin,
and the Chinese have no fleet TO pro-
tect the inner coasts of the gulf. Be-
sides, the possession of Port Arthur
will give japan its first permanent
foothold on the mainland, and a point
from which it can push its way in the
direction of Pekin, Manchuria or
Corea. To this demand China natu-
rally enough objects, claiming that it
is outrageous But japan is now in
actually possession of Port Arthur,
and is disposed to maintain its grip
whether China likes il or not

The announcement of the near APP
proach of the completion Of the work
of deepening the harbor of Galveston,
Texas, has perhaps considerable signi-
ficance to the states of the Northwest
The movement for a deep harbor at
Galveston began several years ago in
the states of the Southwest, West and
Northwest. In 1883 an interstate
convention was held at Denver, when
an interstate deep harbor committee
was formed, with members of fourteen
states and territories. Public senti-
ment was enlisted and an appropria-
ton of 100000 for the improvement
Galveston channel obtained from con-
gress. Work was begun in 1891, and
the progress made ever since has been
of the most satisfactory character. IL

In the body of an adult person there are

The blood has as its most important ele-

investigation and the outcome is the

As the old school of medicine simply tried
to remove the symptoms instead of the
sources of them, much of the poison was

were more or less indications of poison in
