RUSSIA'S ALLEGED MOVE
Would Not Dare Take the
Treaty Port.
MINISTER wu's OPINION
He Doe. Not Believe Amy Such stcp
Has Been Taken-Would i:ean
Locking Horns WITH America-Neu
Chwans n Tempting Prixe-shui
Out Much Of the British Trade.

The report that Russia has taken the
port of Neu Chwang is not credited at
the Chinese legation, Mr.. WI, the Chi
nese minister. expressed his disbelief in
strong terms yesterday and claims to be
in position to know whereof he speaks.
Neu Chwang being a treaty port, Mr..
WI claims that Russia would hardly dare
take such a step. To take treaty port
would be to affect the outside world even
more than China and TO incur the wrath
of all nations.
Neu Chwang, like other treaty ports.
is freely open TO foreign trade and 1t is
at this port that the United States las
established the bulk of her commerce
with China ~. -.
For Russia to capture this port. says
Mr.. WI. would be to lock horns with
America, and were the report true the
representatives of this Govirnment in
China would have Immediately informed
the officials here of the action.
While Mr.. WI does not believe that
Russia has foolishly invited clash with
a number of nations, he acknowledges
that Neu- Chwang Is. a very tempting
prize and that Russia would go far to
acquire it.
The occupation of Neu Chwang would
give complete control of Manchuria. and
would shut out the British from trade in
that section. AT the same time the COM
mercial relations of the United States and
other nations would also be practically
cut on from that port, according 10 the
Chinese minister, and Russia would
hardly dare make such a move.
Mr.. WI is very familiar with the
country around Neu Chwang. the rail-
road between Tien Tsin and Tin Chow
was built under his direction. He states
that there are large foreign colonies in
New Chwang, and the port differs in
many respects from other cities in
China.
Russia already occupies Port Arthur
under lease from China. Port Arthur Is
at the end OF the Lao Tung peninsula.
while Neu Chwang occupies the thresh-
old. and together they command all of
the coveted territory.
Mr.. Wu attributes the reports of the
occupation TO uncertain Journalism and
rumor. He acknowledges that Russia is
at present sending troops In the direc-
tion OF Neu Chwang but these he claims
| are destined for Port Arthur. as a move
is being contemplated to divert the course
of the Trans Siberian Railway so as to
make a terminus at the above point.
| Such move would develop that territory
| and give Russia portion of the coveted
control over foreign commercial interests
Mr.. WI. while familiar with the devel-
opments in the East. would not discuss
the probability of hostilities between
| Russia and England. but he Is certain
that Russia has not occupied Neu
| Chwang. and further claims that Russia
will not dare occupy that treaty port.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
DO Not He Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.

DO Not He Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.
Heart troubles. at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely dueJto the excitement
and worry of American business life, it Is
more often the result of weak stomachs,
of poor digestion. 10
Real. organic heart disease is incurable;
but not one case In hundred of heart
trouble IS organic 81 nc
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way, also the heart is affect
ed by that form of poor digestion which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food, there is feeling of op-
preston and heaviness III the chest caused
by pressure of the rdistended stomach on
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action; hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisOns the blood
makes 1t thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular use
after meals. of some safe. pleasant and ef-
fective digestive preparation, like Stuart's s
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain val
liable. harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient; form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stomach

druggists at so cents.

the single forms Of dahllas created a

AMERICAN oARSMEN,

The type Of man produced by rowing
at the American universities is some
what different from the English. With
all the pluck and strength that any Of
his English rivals can boast, he has
yet to learn that calm and unrufIied
aspect with which an old Leander oar
will step out of his boat-house into his
seat, and start as happily for racing
as for a practice paddle. Your young
American is so terribly in earnest. He
is handicapped by conditions of wealth
er unknown on this side, which ne
cessitate a very long and mechanical
training that must tend tn wear out
nerves which are always a full ten
sion. lie Is somewhat shor,er and
more "stockily built" too, than our
men, and the amount Of gymnasium
work he does produces development
of arm which only Muttlebury on this
side, can hope to equal. The present
writer has rowed with the captain Of
the Yale boat on the Thames, and with
nearly every member of the Harvard
crew of 1897 on their own waters He
can testify to the neatness of their
form as much as to the keenness of
their spOrtsmanship. But until Leh-
mann went over they were overdone
with the minute instructions of their
coaches. aud they never got half the
practice in racing that they ought to
have. But they will soon get It, and
they will soon learn to swing and use
their legs instead of slamming down
their sides with a straight back and
pulling their oars In with their arms.
And when they have learned that, they

we have ever met..-St. James's Ca

From the London News What ia
the secret Of longevity? Sir James

secrets, it consists in paying atten-
tlon to q number OF small details"
Here is a schedule OF them, collected
from the reports OF Sir James Sawyer's
lecture: l. Eight hours sleep >.
Sleep on your right side 3. Keep your
bedroom window open all night. 4.
Have a mat to your bedroom door. 5.
Do not have your bedstead agains, the
wall. G. No cold tub in the morning.

body. Z. Exercise before breakfast. ).
Eat little meat and see that 1t is well
cooked. 9. tFor adults) Drink no
milk TO- Eat plenty of fat to feed
the cells which destroy disease germs.
II. Avoid intoxicants, which destroy
those cells. r. Daily exercise in the
open air. 13. Allow no pet animals ia
your living rooms. They are apt to
carry about disease germs. IA. Live
in the country II you can. 10, Watch
the three Ds-drinking water. damp
and drains. 1G. Have change OF occu-
patton. II. Take frequent and sho"t
holidays. 1S Limit your ambition,
and, 19. keep your temper. Keep all
these commandments, and Sir James
Sawyer sees no reason why you should
not live to be 100. An interesting
point in vital statistics was inciden-
tally brought out by Sir James Saw
yer, the death rate during the last 200
years has been enormously decreased,
but the decrease has all been between
the ages Of birth and 35. Those wac
passed that age had not so good a
chance of living as the people who
lived 200 years ago. The meaning was
that now the weaklinGs among the
young were less easily killed of than
they were 200 years ago. with !e-
gard to those of 35. those who lived in
the olden days had the advantage that
there were no telephones, kilograms.
trains, daily share lists, or daily news
