DID NOT ASK SUPPORT.
Italy Did Not Want Our Aid in Sc
curing a Port in China.
OUR GOVERNMENT WAS NOTIFIED

In order That the italian Government
should Know whether There would
Be Any Objection, aud was Informed
OF our Di-interested Neutrality.
Washington March 1O.-The Italian
government, through its representatives
In Washington, lately laid before the
authorities here its purpose 70 ask Of
China a port on Sau-Mun bay, and in
vited an expression from this govern
meut as TO its attitude. In response 1t
is understood that Secretary Hay, as
well as the president, made it clear that
the United States would pursue the same
course as toward the Russian, British
aud German occupation Of Chinese ports,
namely, disinterested neutrality. The
exchanges have been verbal and rather
informal, more in the nature Of diplo-
matte soundings than direct propositions.
They have given occasion TO erroneous
publications to the effect that Italy had
asked the United States TO support her
demands on China and that this govern
ment, in a pointed note from Secretary
Hay. had refused 1t is said in an
eminent and authoritative quarter that
Italy made no such request for Ameri-
declination from this government. The
circumstances OF the negotiations as ex-
planned in this authoritative quarter are
as follows:
When Italy determined to seek a port
on the Chinese coast she addressed thosa
powers having large interests in China.
notifying them Of her purpose. Owing
10 the good will between Italy and this
h.. fv.N.
est in China a notification was presented
to the state department here. While
Italy is said to have had no desire
through this notification to enlist the sup
port Of the United States, she was de-
sirous of pursuing the usual diplomatic
course when a move Of this character is
contemplated. namely, learn whether the
United States would be favorable, disin-
terested or 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 re-
sponse to this notification and soundings
from the Italian authorities. In this
reply the president is said to have given
his personal concurrence In substance
it was an announcement that the Uni
ted States would in no way change the
attitude it had maintained thus far
when Great Britain, Germany and Rus
sia made advances toward China.
Instead Of being a denial of any re-
quest the reply was accepted by the Itai-
ian government as entirely satisfactory
and as placing it in the same position as
other European powers who had sought
ports in China. This, It is said, brings
the negotiations at Washington to a
close in manner entirely satisfactory
to the Italian authorities.

A POSTMASTER'S FOLLY.
Edward P. Bogert, of Wilkesbarre,
Disgraoes Himself.
HE TAMPERED WITH THE MAIL.

Caught with open Letters Addressed
to Prominent Business en-, He Was
Arrested and Furnished Bail For
His Appearance Later.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 10.-Edward
f. Bogert. postmaster of Wilkesbarre,
was arrested yesterday, charged with
tampering with the United States mails
About two months ago several COM
plants were lodged with the postal au.
thorities at Washington that mail was
disappearing. or that which they received
bore evidence of having been opened By
steaming process. The postal authori-
ties subsequently detailed two secret
service men on the case. Wednesday
night Bogert entered the office and was
seen to take several letters from the
boxes and then go into his private office
and carefully draw down a curtain. A
few minutes later detective. who was
acting as clerk turned out an electric
light in the rear end Of the office, this
being the signal TO two other secret
service men who were stationed outside
The man on the inside carefully admit
ted his associates, one of whom was In
spector German. The two men went at
once to Bogert's private Office, and with
out the ceremony of knocking entered
and there found the postmaster seated at
his desk, on which lay three letters adj
dressed to prominent business men OF
this city, and all of them opened. The
postmaster was taken before United
States Commissioner Gustav Hahn,
where he gave bail in $4,000 for appear
ance later.
Mr.. Bogert is editor Of the The Even
ing Leader He would not be interview
ed, but in his paper appeared the follow
ing:
There are always two sides to a ques-
tion, and when there are three or four
fellows, and one or two in particular,
clamoring for a political office and hun
CRY for the emoluments attached thereto,
there are sure to be schemes worked and
plans formed to entrap the incumbent,
cause his removal and punish him other
wise, even if nothing further than the
annoyance and chagrin that accomplish
ment Of their devilish underhand work
imposes. When the diabolical schemers
are fully shown up, and their nefarious
trickery exposed, there is a question as
to which side will furnish the raciest
reading"
The inference to be drawn from the
above is that Bogert imagined himself
the victim of a conspiracy to oust him
from the postmastership, and in order
TO discover the conspirators he opened
letters addressed to Republican poll
ticians.

BEARDED
WOMEN.

Designing DfSY, through slluring and cum
ningly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor 70 work upon the feelings of sick
and ailiug women by inviting them to write
to UoDIGH Cd and secure a tVoDidH'S sym
pathy." 1t is well to remember that the
best sympathy is to be had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles
distant. The obi ect of the sick is to get we'll
and however precious sympathy may be, it
never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman.
| While the sympathy of your milliner or
dressmaker might be appreciated and be
| just as beneficial, If not more so, than SYM
pathy from stranger, yet it can not effect
your cure If you are an siling woman.
1t is loudly proclaimed through the press
that "a woman can best understand a
womans ailments, " and on this ground sick
women are invited to write to a woman -
and get the benefit of a woman's advice.
The sort of understanding of her ailments
wanted by a sick woman is a trained medi-
cal understanding. If a woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman's ailments not as a z0ODlaH, but as a
| Physician. If she is not doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
As far as known, there is no regularly
qualified woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de-
signed for women-no one, therefore quail
fed by learning and experience, to advise
| on questions of disease and its cure.
II is certain that there is no one, man OF
woman, connected with any put up"
medicine for women, excepting only DR..
| Pierce's Favorite Prescription, who like
DR.. Pierce, is regular graduated and quail
fed physician, and who has, like him, de-
voted more than thirty years to the special
study and treatment of diseases of women.
For more than thirty years DIR. R V.
Pierce, a regularly graduated doctor, has
been chief consulting physician Of the
Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo. n. Y. On his staff are nearly a
score of regularly graduated, experienced,
skilled physicians, each of whom is a spec.
ialist in his chosen class of diseases. Ev-
cry letter addressed to DR.. Pierce as above,
has prompt, conscientious attention, is re-
garded as sacredly confidential and is an
swered in plain envelope so your private
affairs are kept safe from prying eyes.
