A Wet Country.

The railroad which with it's branches
connects Colombo, the capital Of Cey-
lon, with the interior of the island, is
remarkable for the engineering skill
shown in its construction and for it's
prosperity. It makes all ascent Of 8, 500
feet by succession of loops and curves,
with here and there tunnel. The chief
difficulty in running the railroad is due
to the way in which the rain comes
down. A recent book Of travel, IA Run
Round the Empire, describes what the
rain did to q train crawling up the
mountain side.
On Dec. ~, 1896, 111ainohes of rain
fell in "a hours. The engineer of a
train saw that beyond certain tunnel
the line was washed away. He stopped
the train, and the passengers got out.
One Of them, seeing stones rolling down
the mountainside above them, advised
the engineer to push for the tunnel.
Just as the train entered the tunnel
down came huge mass of rock, which
carried away the embankment as we'll
as the last car of the train-a goods van
fortunately. Close behind the tunnel
the ends of the rail were hanging free
over a precipice, and similar condition
existed not far ahead.
A messenger came down from plant
er's bungalow above the tunnel to say
that water was accommodating in the
cutting in front, and that if it broke
through the debris which served as
dam it would wash the train out of
the tunnel. The passengers fastened to
leave the cars, and in walking through
the water in the cutting found it up to
their breasts.

New Ally For China.

Picking. Sept. 15.-The Marquis Ito,
recently premier Of Japan, has arrived
at Tien -tsin and is expected here short
ly. The visit of the great Japanese
statesman Is regarded as likely to re-
suit in an offensive and defensive ALL
apce. The marquis, 1t is asserted, Is
charged to examine into the possibility
of China recovering her lost ground anu
becoming a useful ally. There Is no
doubt there has been strong bias late-
ly among the leading Cinnamon toward
Japan, whose reforms the emperor OF
China has been attentively studying.
An imperial edict just issued orders Lu'
the director of the Northern railroad to
commence a branch line to the western
hills. Russia recently attempted to OBJ
tain a contract to build this road.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, receptacle for the urine, and az
such it Is not liable to any form of disease ey.
cept by one or two ways. The first way is
from imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treatment Of
other diseases.
; CHIEF CAUSE,
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is
the chief canse of bladder troubles. So the
womb, like the bladder, was created for one
purpose, and if not doctored too much i, not
haDle to weakness or disease, except in rare
eases: 1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys back
Dladuer or urinary passage is often, By mis-,
lake, attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble OF some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided To tiul

.LUZON LEAST DEMAND.
Question of Disposal Of philippines Is
Still Unsettled.
SPAIN MUST RULE BETTER.
Even II We Do Not Secure All the
Islands 1t Ii Deemed Certain
That Medieval Govern
ment Must Stop.

Washington, Sept 15-The question Oh
the disposal of the Philippines still re-
mains unsettled, and 1t is not impropa-
BILE that the peace commissioners may
depart for Paris without specihc IN
structions as to all the matters when
they will be called on to consider AS
the situation stands at present the ad-
ministratlon has determined that MOTH
ing less than the cession to the United
States of the entire island Of Luzon
shall be the minimum demand MADE al
the Paris meeting. How much further
the government will go in its directions
to the peace commission has not been
determined.
Internationally it Is the opinion of a
majority of the cabinet that the United
States Is under a moral responsibility to
provide a better government for the
Philippines. That has been the inten-
ton of the president from the first, but
some of his advisers were insistent that
this country should withdraw its forces
from Manila and leave the Islands to
Spanish sovereignty or whatever char
acter of government the future might
develop. Since then, however, the SEN
timent of the country has been so over
whelmingly against allowing Spanish
rule to continue that those who were
and perhaps are opposed to assuming
any responsibility for the Philippines
have advanced to the position where
they think it best not to press their pre-
vious views.
Spain Must Reform.
Out Of this change of sentiment, or,
at least acceptance Of the inevitable.
has come the practical certainty that
Spain will not be allowed to reign as
she did in the past in her eastern pos
sessions which came under the control
of the United States through Dewey's
victory What will be included in the
instructions to the peace commies oners
on that point has yet to be decided. 1t
may be accepted as definite that even
If the United States does not secure ev-
cry island in the Philippines as a result
of the peace negotiations there will not
be continuance of the medieval rule
which has been practiced by the Span
ish authorities.
With the possession of Luzon assured,
the United States government will have
such a strong foothold in the Philip
pines that it can exercise jurisdiction
over tQe Otn6T lSldHuS anu COIIlpGl opdlN
or any other governmental authority to
provide just and liberal rule. The
president and the cabinet are thorough
ly convinced that the insurgents are not
fit to rule the islands, but much will be
left to the discretion Of the peace COM
mission as to the recognition, If any, to
be accorded them.
