Washington. March 1.-THE Italian
government. through its representa-
five in Washington. lately laid before
the authorities here its purpose to ask
of China port on San Nun bay. and
invited an expression from this gov
eminent as to its attitude. In re-
sponse il is understood that Secretary
HAY, as well as the president, made
II clear that the United States would
pursue the same course as toward the
Russian. British and German occupa-
ton Of Chinese ports, namely, disin-
terested neutrality. The exchanges
have been verbal and rather informal,
more in the nature Of diplomatic
soundings than direct propositions.
They have given occasion to erroneous
publications to the effect that Italy
had asked the United States to sup
port her demands on China. and that
this government. in pointed note
from Secretary Hay, had refused. 1t
IL stated In an eminent and authori-
tative quarter that Italy made no such
request for American support, and
that there was no declination from
this government The circumstances
Of the negotiation as explained In this
authoritative quarter are as follows:
When Italy determined to seek 4
port on the Chinese coast she adj
dressed those powers having large in
terests in China, notifying them OF her
purpose Owing 10 the good will be-
tween Italy and this country, as well
as the
American Interests

to the state department here While
Italy is said to have had no desire
through this notification to enlist the
support OF the United States. she was
DESTROYS of pursuing the usual diplo-
matte course when a move of this
character Is contemplated. namely,
learn whether the United States would
be either. first. favorable; second. dis
Interested: third. opposed. In short,
before proceeding. Italy desired TO
know what attitude the United States
would take as to the Italian demand
on China. The reply of Secretary
Hay, which is said to have been
verbal, was in response to this notiti-
cation and soundings from the Italian
authorities. In this reply the presl-
dent is said to have given his personal
concurrence. In substance it was an
announcement that the United States
would in no way change its attitude
as maintained thus far when Great
Britain, Germany and Russia made
advances toward China, but would
continue to observe position Of dis
interestedness. Instead of being de-
NAL of any request the reply was ac-
cepted by the Italian government as
entirely satisfactory and as placing it
in the same position as other Euro
pean powers who had sought ports in
China. This, it is said, brings the ne
gotiatiOns at Washington to a close in
a manner entirely satisfactory TO the
Italian authorities. The reported ac-
ton of Italy since then in making its
demand on China and following it up
with threats Of demonstration have
not been officially communicated here.

THE ENGAGEMENT RING.

Women have gone on for ages past wear
ing their symbols of engagement and mar
riage, never asking why their liancss and
husbands should move unmarked amid
men ard maidcns. This is state of things
which calls aloud for alteration, and it is a
consummation devoutly to be wished that
men should start with the custom of wear
ing first the ieweled circlet and then the
plain gold one-Outward and visible signs
of engagement and marriage, The girls
say they are placed ut disadvantage, and
from more than one point of view. For
instance, how embarrassing for a young
girl to he made acquainted at dance with

attractive youth, who, after the polite
formalities, suggests stroll through the
conservatory in lieu of dancing certain

weaving Of the romantic spell attendant

the matter. of-fact announcement as the
man bids the maiden adeu: 81 would like
to have you meet my tiancee?'
No, the girls say there isn't a fair point
about the existing conditions. They ad.
vocate the wearing OF an engagement ring
by the man, just as an engagement ring is
worn by the woman. No one ever mis-
takes an engaged girl. Even without the
ring, the air of conscious superiority, of
understanding good humor, would stamp
the young woman as mortgaged property.
And with the assistance and addition OF
the ring there is absolutely no chance for
error And what is true as to engagements,
the girls contend, is even more applicable

Good News for Our Readers

Who have scrofula taints M their blood
and who have not? Scrofula in all its forms
is cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla which
thoroughly puriiies the blood This disease
which frequently appears in children, is
greatly to be dreaded. 1t is most likely to
affect the glands of neck, which become
enlarged, eruptions appear on the head and
face, AID the eyes are frequently affected.
Upon its first appearance, perhaps in slight
eruptions or pimples, scrofula should be
entirely eradicated from the system by a
thorough course of Hoods Sarsaparilla to
prevent the painful and sickening conse.
quences Of running scrofula sores which
drain the system, sap the strength and
make existense utterly wretched.
