OUR CONSENT ASKED
Before Italy Made Her Demand For
Chinese Territory.


Chicago, March S.-A special to the
The Italian request touching China was
spoken of today in a new light. The ac-
ton of King Humbert indicates that Italy
is the first government to recognize Of
ficially the new status of the United States
among the powers. 1t also developed
Secretary Hay in his reply pointed out 10
the Italian government th3t the Cnlte9

ments to secure territory or spheres OF IN
f1uence in China and would certainly not
do so in the case of Italy.
Italy's effort to secure the support, or |
least the passive consent, OF the united
States did not end with the presentation
of the note and the receipt of Secretary
Hays reply. The italian minister in
Pekin approached Minister Conger sew

Italian minister's proposal ana at once

sent him along the lines of the reply
made here to the Italian note
While the information in the possession
of the authorities shows that Great Brit
ain is automatically opposing the Italian
demands, 1T is apparent that Great Brit
distinctly reiterate her intention to main
tain the integrity of China and support
her open door policy, or announce re-
day that no communica ton relative to the
Chinese demands had passed between Sec
British ambassador, but it would be sur
prising if there had not been discussion
in London between the American en-
baSsy and the British foreign office. The
authorities are anxiously awaiting the an
nouncement of Great Britain's policy, and
it is appreciated that it is of great i'm
the commercial aspect of the Chinese
question.

Mr.. Morgan when seen soon after his

men with whom he had talked and who
have been in cable touch with him dur
ing his absence a general explanation Of
the plan was learned. Hundreds of
millions of dollars have been brought
into one combination. A pro rata divis-
ion of the coal output and of the profits
has been outlined. though months will
be required to finally adjust all the de-

NEW TELEGRAPH LAW
Will Be Fought by Rossington, Smith
6 Histed For the Western Union.

" A4SbOO Z OT JA0 w 0SL0En On1Ou-
The telegraph companies doing business
IN Kansas are ready to fight the enforce
ment of the law passed by the special
session OF the legislature reducing the
cost OF transmitting messages to points
within the state.
Proceedings against the companies which
are at this time failing to comply with
the law will not be instituted until after
in April.
The law provides that it shall take effect
after publication in the statute book. The
publication has been made and there now
remains only the enforcement of the pro-
visions.
The telegraph companies are placed I'M
der the control of the court of vista ton
and the solicitor provided for the court
IS authorized to prosecute viOlatorS of the
law. The fact that the prosecutions are
placed with the court of visitation means
is organized.
Rossington, Smith & Histed are the local
attorneys for the Western Union. 1t is
said they are ready to fight the enforce
ment of the law and will first resist the
attempt to enforce 1t by bringing into
question the constitutionality of the meas
ure, pleading that the rates fixed by the
new law are so low as to become confis-
catory.
The telegraph companies will go on MAX
ing the same old charges for messages I'M
Individual brings suit against the corpor-
alton, charging violations of the law. If
the public does not proceed against the
company. then the old schedule will re-
main in force until the court of vista ton
attempts to enforce the law.

profession, and certainly there is no
class of men who have such a power in
forming, creating and administering the
laws as they. An able and high
minded bar is a great influence in en-
larging and broadening the judges, to
say nothing of the assistance they rem
der the court in reaching correct concIu-
sions. After fifteen years of practice
at the bar and twenty-five years of
service on the bench, in taking leave of
active labor in the profession, 1 shall
always feel that 1 am still one of your
number, interested in those things
which interest you, and sympathizing
with the young men who are working

predict that the association of Judge
Hook and the bar of the state will be
mutually agreeable, and that it opens a

record great events in the cause of JUS

IS IT A TRIFLE?
That Common Trouble, Acid by spep-
sia or Sour Stomach.
Now Recognized as a cause of Serious
Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach is a form of
indigestion resulting from fermentation
of the food. The stomach being too
weak to digest it, the food remains un-
til fermentation begins, filling the stom-
ach with gas, and a bitter. sour. burn
ing taste in the mouth is often present
This condition soon becomes chronic
and being an every day occurrence is
given but little attention Because dvs-
pepsia Is not Immediately fatal MANY
people do nothing for the trouble
Within recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is becoming rapidly used and pre-
Ecr1bed as a radical cure for every form
of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
al druggists for so cents per package
It Is prepared by the F. A Stuart Co.
Marshall, Mich, and while it promptly
ana sfectually restores a vigorous di-
gestion, at the same time is perfectly
harmless and will not injure the most
dencate stomach, but on the contrary
by giving perfect digestion STRENGTHENS
the stomach, improves the appetite and
makes life worth living.
