Now that the annual report of the sur
geon general of the army has been COM
pleted and sent to the printer, the force of
compilers in that office will devote their
time to the preparation of the Forthcoming
Medical and Surgical History of the War
with Spain. 1t is the intention of the de-
partment to make this book so complete
and important that it will become a world
wide authority.
1t will be handsomely illustrated and
will deal with the most advanced meth
DDS of treating medical and surgical cases
and enforcing camp sanitation, from the
lessons learned during the recent war.
There will be important chapters on
wounds caused by the missiles of modern
firearms, and a notable absence of the
treatment of saber cuts and bayonet
thrusts, which were matters of interest in
the Medical and Surgical History of the
Civil War.

The Lone Woman Traveller.

The new woman" doesn't propose to miss
the delights of travel simply for lack of a
protector. She knows how to take care of
nerself. and when she starts off on a little
dread that something's going to happen be-
lore she reaches her destination-if ever she
does, put she proceeds at once to make her
sell comfortable and to thoroughly enjoy her
HtIie rub UP against the outside world.
But although she rests secure in a delight
tuI Keeling of safety, 1t has never occurred to
the general woman that making her to
travel In safety IS a business all in itself
she may have heard, for example, that the
great New York Central Railroad is the only
route in the United States that is completely
equipped with the world-famous lock and
mean anything to her until you explain that
by this system every foot over which she
travels is carefully and increasingly watched
and s1gnaled day and night that collision is
practically impossible, because a train cannot
enter given block or section until the train
ahead has passed out, and that even if there
should be another train following on the
same track the engineer knows all about it
through the electric telegraph which is part
of the system, thus making assurance doubly
sure.
If the lone woman happens to be going to
landing alone in the confusion of a big

EMPEROR IN OUSTED

TROUBLE FOR ENGLAND
Ii Hung Chang May BE Reinstated
and Russian Influence Be Given
Full Sway--MarQuis Ito Be
IieVes the Change VIII Disas-
trOusly Impede Proposed Re
fOrEas-Emperor Gave Up.

PEKIN, Sept. 22.-An imperial edict,
just issued, definitely announces that
the emperor of China has resigned his
power to the empress (dowager en-
press, who has ordered the ministers
tc deliver to her in future their official
reports 1t is difficult to obtain reliable
information at the palace in regard to
the proceeding, but the recent reform
atOIT edictS probably caused the
| change. While the emperor was sub
serVient, and a mere figurehead, the
dOWager empress permitted him to re-
main in peace, but so soon as he at
tempted to act on his own initiative
his practical deposition was the result.
His principal adviser, Kang Yumoi,
the Cantonese reformer fled, in spite Of
the vigorous attempts made to arrest
him, and it is said that he is now on
! his way to Shanghai. The effect Of the
change must be great. In all probaplll-
ty Ii Hung Chang will be reinStated
in power, and Russian influence will
increase. The hopes of reform, so ar
IDENTIFY cherished by the intelligent fac
tiOnS of the Chinese, are now impOSSi-
bic of fulfllment. The suddenness Of
the coup is said to be due to the desire
of the dOWager empress to prevent the
mission of the Marquis Ito from being
successful. The Japanese statesman
recently came to Pelxin with the object
of trying to bring about an alliance, Of
fensive and defensive, between Japan
and China. The new order of things
will undoubtedly prejudice British in
terests in China. 1t is reported today
that the new edict will give the full
reason for the change. The wording Of
the present edict is not yet obtainable,
but it is in effect that the emperor re-
Quested the dowager empress to assume
power, this being the third time the
request has been made. The Marquis
Ito, in an interview before the edict
was issued, said the emperor received
him yesterday in the most cordial man
ner, and said he hoped to have the adj
vantage Of the advice Of the marquis
in the reforms which his majesty in
tended to undertake. The marquis,
even then, feared that the inaction and
conservatism of the Chinese officials
would nullify the reforms, although he
believed the emperor was acting in
good faith

SALTWATER, Mimi, Sept. o.
(SPecial)-The Staples Will contest took
& rather unexpected turn this afternoon
when the contestant rested his case
without offering any evidence, and will
take an appeal to the district court
from an order of the probate court, ad-
hitting the will to probate. The con-
testants attorneys made a motion yes
terday TO dismiss the proceedings be-
cause the proponents had not made cut
e prima facie case, and because it was
not established that the document in
question was the last will and teSta-
ment Of the late Mr.. Staples The mo-
ton was argued for the contestant by
NesSrs. Nethaway and Lawrence, and
their arguments consumed a part Of
yesterday and nearly all of today. At
the close Of their argument Judge
F'landrau asked the court if he cared
to listen to arguments on the part of
the counsel for the proponents and he
replied that he did not and would over
rule the motion.
The contestant then decided not to
offer any evidence at this time, and
the case was rested. A motion was
made and granted, admitting the will
to probate, and Judge Wilson will pre-
pare his order as soon as possible. In
discussing the matter of resting at this
time, Judge NethaWay said that the
contestant would be under a heavy
expense if the case was continued in
the probate court, and in view of the
fact that 1t would take at least three
weeks for the contestant to introduce
his evidence, and at that time it would
be almost time for the district court
to convene, he had decided to rest and
appeal to the district court. The case
Will come up for trial before a jury at
the next general term of court, and in
dicatiOns are that it will be one of the
longest cases ever heard in this state.

til a change came, and if he recovered he
