WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.--The dIplo-
macy feature Of the Chinese situation
today took precedence over both the
naval and the military features.
The officials Of the government We're
II anything more communicative
than heretofore as to the relations be-
tween the powers. II was stated au-
thoritatively that no news OF import
ance had been received and that the
diplomatic negotiations could not be
made public.
The most unsatisfactory development
OF the day. so far as the pacific pro-
gram OF this government goes. was the
receipt Of dispatch from Admiral Re-
mey, conveying reports which had
reached him of disagreement between
the commander Of the Russian forces
in PelIin and the other nations.
The text of this dispatch was not
made public. but II was said on good
authority to contain the statement that
the Russian commander had forbidden
communication with the Chinese on the
ground that Russia was technically as
well as practically at war with Chi
ma. 1t may be said that the informa-
tion was not conveyed by Admiral Re-
mey as official news. but merely as
report from a reliable source, which
he considers this government should
possess for its own information.
Assuming Admiral Remey's report to
be correct, this move on the part of
Russia strikes the first note Of discord
in the heretofore harmonious concert
Of the powers. The possibility of fu-
ture complications that it opens would
be serious, 1t may be said however
that the news Is not taken very serious
ly by this government and certainly
will not alter our course in any way
until It has been officially confirmed.
1t was explained that the situation
out of the joint occupation of
Pekin by the powers was delicate al
though not necessarily to be described
as serious. The interests of all the
powers there represented were at least
II not antagonistic, and an
III considered move on the part of any
one government might easily entail dis
agreeable consequences in which all
would be more or less involved.

Major-General Chaffee has recon-

His cable advising this, and accum-
ulating evidences Of lack Of harmony

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
flammed condition of the mucuos lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you nave a rumb-
ling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the lnflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

In Favor of Defendant.

The jury in the case of Ollie Nc
Namara against Frederick Moser, after
being closeted all afternoon Thursday
at about O'Clock returned a verdict in
favor of the defendant. The matter
has been in the court for some time in
various forms, The present case was
a suit for $4,000 for breach of promise.
A large number of letters written by
the plaintiff to the defendant were
read to the jury. In none of thesealet-
tiers did she mention that they have
ever engaged to marry This fact. in
all probility, did more to influence the
decision of the jury than anything else.

The Ohio Improvement.

1t is pointed out by our Washin gton
correspondent that an appropriation
for locating a movable dam below Gin
cinnati commits the Government to
the Improvement of the entire river
between that point and Beaver. The
location of the dam at Beaver SINH
larly committed Congress to the con-
struction of dams Nos. 2, 8, 4 and B,
which have since been authorized. The
toItal coct of the programme indicated
by the Items approved by the commit
tee on Monday is estimated at not less
than s35.OOOOOO
There is no Improvement more
worthy Cf such an expenditure than
that of the Ohio river The traffic of this
stream far exceeds that of the Upper
Mississippi or Missouri, and benefits a
much larger territory and population
than either of the others, though up to
date 1t has cost the Government less.
The mistake is in making small ap-
pIOpIIdutOH W DeRln an enormous
work. That means years of waiting
for the full benefits from the improve
ment and extra expenditures to main
tain incomplete structures. An out
night appropriation of S9O, 900, 900 would
have enabled the speedy completion of
the system of dams that will cost $685.
100000 by the process Oh dribbling out
the money. Tho river interests and
poulation affected will lose as much by
the delay as the Government will lose
by the Diece-meal method.
There is no apDarant excuse either,
for following uneconomical precedents.
The Treasury is plethoric with a sur
plus. But there is a reason, and that
reason is that every other section must
be given an appropriation, whether
there is anything to Justify it or not

A Marietta young lady asked a Park

transposing letters into words, like
this: Take the third. second and first
letters of the word enough for the
first word and the sixth. fourth and
fifth letters for the second word. The
two words thus formed, he said would
signify something that is not enough

NOT FIT TO RULE THEMSELVES.
Prof. Woreester's Views of the Capa-
bilities of FiIipinOs.

Dr. R. c. Worcester of the Philippine
commission 1ectured at the University of
Wisconsin Wednesday night upon the Phil
ippines. After describing his experience in
his travels about the islands. Prof Worces-
ter said:
Where the natives are somewhat ac-
quainted with the whites through Spanish
occupation, the rule may aptly be applied
that the morality of the people increases
as the square of the distance from Spanish
occupation increases. Many of these ISL
and people have not yet arrived at the
dignity of tribal organization. This. how
ever, applies only to the uncivilized people,"
In regard to slavery in Sulu, Prof
Worcester admitted that it existed to a
considerable extent, but did not think alb
solute prohibition would remedy it, He
advised that ii be gradually rooted out
by providing against any addition to the
slave class by birth or otherwise.
Continuing, Prof. Worcester said:
THE agriculture of the people is still in
very rude state, and it is probable that
there is not single modern pillow that can
turn furrow in this whole group. There
is great source of wealth there in lum-
Der If properly developed: AT present there
