Inns paid a visit 10 United states Am.
bassador HAY. Mcssrs Foster and
Hay win cooperate In pressing the
Dchring sealing question upon the
British government
Toa representative Of the Associ
nted Press. Mr. Foster said the detaili
OF the arrangement arrived at with
Russia could not be- revealed ut pres.
emit but when disclosed would be en-
tirely satisfactory. Mr. Foster had nc
doubt that Japan Is equally ready 70
cooperate with the United states In
the protection of seals. Mr. Foster
said that he wns not going 10 Japan
but he had conferred with the japanese
minister nt Washington and thought
an agreement could be- reached directly
between the two governments. Meas
urcs TO hcngrrcd upon, however would
not be- made effective before isos. but
had Great Britain showed the same
willingness ~ Russia, they might have
been applied this season.
Speaking Of Hawaii Mr.. Foster said.

Not Enough Water Drunk.

Washington Star.
CATER studying the matter for some
years am convinced" says physician,
"that people do not drink enough
water. I think tnat a great majority
of the cures effected by drinking the
waters of the fashionable and unfash-
ionable medicinal springs in various
parts of the country would have result
ed if the same amount of plain, whole
some, everyday water Was drunk by
them. People rush to the springs, and
while there drink from to 20 large
glasses of their waters in a day.
Whether there are any medicinal vir-
tues in the waters, this washing out
does them good on account of the extra
washing out they give themselves, and
it is water instead OF the constituency
of the same that does the work. The
same people, if at their homes, would
pass many and many day without
drinking one glass of water. It is my
opinion that it is the water that Is
needed. am not a hydropath, or a
believer in the theory that water taken
internally and externally will cure
everything. At the same time, I am
satisfied that if people generally drank
from four to six glasses of water every
day they would have less reason to
complain, and suffer loss from many
ailments that now affect them than
they now do"

LONG TALKS.
WHAT IT COSTS TO CABLE.
A Message to One West African Point
Costs as High as $500.

Richmond Dispatch.
Few persons who have no experience
with telegraph tolls appreciate the ex-
pense of cable communication. Gable
rates are so much per word: instead of
per message of ten words, and the fig
ures are very much higher. Messages
to England, France, and Germany cost
81 cents per word from Chicago. Bel
gums rate is 36 cents; Holland and
Italy, 3S cents Austria, 40 cents !;
Greece, A cents; Egypt, 81 cents !;
Switzerland, 36 cents; Sweden, 40
cents Turkey, "a cents and So cents !;
Russia, 46 cents. The Cuban war has
greatly increased the volume of tele-
graphic business in the West Indies.
The lowest rate is 40 cents per word for
messages to Habana. Other Cuban
points are higher, and no town in the
West Indies outside of Cuba can be
reached for less than $1O5 per word.
Messages to Porto Rico cost $1.85 per
word. Central American rates range
from so cents (Guatemala) to IS cents
COSTA Rica and Nicaragua). South
American rates take big jump up
ward. Brazilian messages cost from
$I.35 to $1.87 per word British Guiana
points cost $2.17. Communication with
Australia Is expensive. Queensland
reaches the highest figure, $2.62 per
word, while South and West Australia
rates are $1.47. Messages to China
cost $2.O2 per word, and the same fig
ures apply to Korea. Japanese rates
are 1927 per word; Java, $l.53; For
mosa, 1927; India, $1.29; Madagascar,
$1.7O New Zealand, $1.58; Philippine
Islands, $2.51; Siam, $1.41. African
rates are lowest tor points along the
Mediterranean and highest along the
west coast. Algeria can be reached for
3S cents per word, the minimum rate
for the Dark Continent. East African
rates are $1.54 and $1.64, while South
African points range between $1.5S
and $1.7O. West African points as a
rule range above -, while it costs $500
to send word to Mossamedes from
Chicago-more than to reach any other
telegraph station in the world direct
However, a message to Bassidore or
Lingah costs the Chicago sender $1.l9
per word to Jask, Perala, and $11.76
extra for special dispatch-boat line from
that point.
