AGAINST AMERICAN PORK.
h Porte Announces That It's I'M

Tne Porte Announces Th8t It's I'M
%portation is Hereafter Prohibited.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 90
The Porte has informed the United
States legation that in future the i'm
portation of American pork will be
prohibited, giving as a reason for the
prohibition that the meat is injurious
to the public health.
Mr.. Lloyd C. Griscom, United States
Charge d'Affaires, protested energetic
ally, demanding the annullation of the
measure.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson said he had
no official information if any steps
were taken in the matter by this gov
eminent, he said, the State Department
would conduct the negotiations. "If
it has been decided to bar out all
pork" said the Secretary, there can
be no cause for complaint, but if Amer
lean pork is Disseminated against we
will have good cause to protest, as
there can be no valid reason for ex-
Guiding it, as it is the best in the
world. 1t is probable that the action
of the Porte was taken on religious
grounds, as the religion of the Turks
prohibits them from eating pork.
Statistics on file at this Department
show that during the past five years
the value of the hog products exported
from the United States to Turkey has
averaged thirteen dollars a year.
Mr.. Griscom has acted of his Volt
ton in lodging this protest, for the
State department has not yet been in
formed of the prohibition of the Turk
ish government. 1t may be stated,
however, that his action is thoroughly
commended by the officials, and he
will be supported to the utmost in his
protest.
While it cannot be so stated official
ly, no doubt is entertained here that
the action of the Turkish government
is directly attributable to the secret
influence of some continental powers
whose resistance to the demand of the
United States for the admission of
American meat products might be
strengthened, could they point to SIM
liar exclusive action by other powers,
based on sanitary consideration.

PREPARING FOR TROUBLE.

Japanese Rules.
SEATTLE, Wash, March 29.-The
government transport Garonne, from
Manila, February II, has arrived from
quarantine with Jews of active pre-
parationS in military and naval de-
partments of Japan for war with Rus
STA. The Russian feet at Nagasaki
has disregarded the harbor authori-
ties and anchored where it pleased.
The war spirit is said by Captain Con-
rad, of the Garonne, to be strong in
Japan on account of the Cars secret
attempt to gain influence in Korea in
violation of the treaty. A grand as
sembling of the Japanese navy, to be
followed by maneuvers from which
foreign newspaper correspondents and
the public were to be excluded, was
fixed for the last of this month.
LONDON, March 29.-The Evening
News publishes a dispatch from Kobe,
Japan, under to-day's date, %announc-
ing that Russia has demanded leave
to land troops near Masanpho and
Korea, the dispatch says, wants out
side interference.
LONDON, March 29.-The British
government has not received any news
tending to confirm the advices from
Japan as to Russian designs in Korea
and is inclined to doubt their ccur-
acy. The premier, Lord Salisbury, it
is learned, apprehends no possibility
of an immediate rupture between
Japan and Russia, and whatever may
be done in the future regarding the
Disturbances around Tien-Esin, it Is
learned that no steps have yet been
taken looking to concerted action on
the part of the powers, nor is there
any indication that official circles re-
gard the situation in China as serf-
Gus as it is made out in the press dis
patches. From all sources of informa-
ton available to the British foreign
Office it is judged that Japan neither
desires nor is in any way near ready
to dispute with hostilities Russian &C
ton in the Far East.

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, March 20.
The meeting of the board of regents
come on next Monday. 1t is current
ly reported, and in most cases believ-
ed, that DR.. Raymond will make an
effort to have nearly all of the West
Virginia members of the faculty re-
moved to give place to outsiders. DR..
Reynolds, Profs. Armstrong, Hodges,
Brown, Stewart and DR.. Hartigan are
believed to be the especial marks of
his displeasure. Mr.. Sturgiss, of the
board, was asked about the rumor
that at least one of these had been
asked to resign but had refused, and
that the others would be asked to get
out. He stated that as yet nothing
had been done, but would not say that
nothing would be done. The feeling
among the students is reaching the
boiling point. One Of the best dis
posed and quietest among the number
stated that if a move was made to re-
move these men and it should prove
successful, that he would be the leader
in burning the president in effigy.
Many people in town cannot bring
themselves to believe that DR.. Ray
mond would be so foolish as to recon-
mend the removal of these men, but
those who know the president will not
be surprised. 1t means he turning
over of the University to outside peo-
pie, and the retirement of every West
Virginian in the faculty. This has
been shown in what has already been
done. and if the people of the State
do not wake up to the danger before
1t is everlastingly too late, Raymond
will have wrecked the institution. Rule
or ruin has been his plan. The pro-
fessors who have been marked by him
for dismissal are alleged by him to
have been opposing his policy. A
greater falsehood was never fathered
by any man. They have allowed
things to go as they would, while at
many times they have had their pri-
vate opinions about them. The Uni
yersity is a hotbed of fads and fam
cies which are costing the people of
the State a fortune every year. 1t is
getting worse and worse all of the
time. Every mar who ventures to
question the wisdom of the presidents
course is Immediately branded as a
mischief maker by that gentleman,
who Immediately gets some Chicago
mar in training to take the place that
is to be made vacant. This is TO be
the last time that his friends are to
have anywhere near a majority on the
board, and they will do everything they
can to carry out the aims of the presi-
dent. Hon. John w. Davis, OF Clarks-
burg, was placed on the board in place
of Major J. NJ. Lee, who left the State,
and he became an a~nti-Raymond man
in place of a Raymond partisan. Judge
Hamill, of WEIGH, will leave the State
before June. and another anti-Ray-
mond mar will take his place. Gov.
Atkinson is very much opposed to
Raymond, and has made all kinds OF
efforts to get the board to turn him
down, but without success. The change
in the complexion of the board that
has been inaugurated will bring about
Raymond's downfall sooner or later.

Specjal ~ the Register.
MORGANTOWN, w. Va, March o.
Monongalia Republicans are at sea as
to the proper course to pursue. They
will hardly put up another man to
cope with White, who seems to have a
walkover for the nomination. White
is extremely ~distasteful to them, but
they fear there is not time to combine
the scattered factions in order to make
a good showing before the convention.
Senator Fast is a receptive candidate
under certain conditions. He would
have been willing to have accepted the
nomination before Freer hove on the
scene, but retired when Freer entered
the race. The fall down has badly dis
arranged the plans of the Monongalia
faithful and it will lose them lots OF
votes. On every hand Republicans
are to be heard denouncing the plot
which it is claimed by Republicans
here to have resulted in the Freer
downfall, and they say that they will
never allow any candidate to profit by
the means of such IN infamous
scheme.
Prof. John I. Harvey has removed
from Morgantown to Huntington, after
a residence here of more than thirty
years. He was Professor of Modern
Languages in the University until his
retirement several years ago. Every
one here is sorry to lose him from
the town.

A Logical CONGREGATIONAL Candidate.

A Logical Congressional Candidate.
To the Editor of the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, March 28.-Every
day a new name is added to the list
of candidates for Governor on the State
Democratic ticket, but very few candi-
dates have ben mentioned for Con-
gress. The Congressional race this
year will be one of vast importance,
both to the State and to the nation.
We should have candidates from each
OF the four Congressional districts in
the field early, which would be of
great advantage to the party as the
campaign promises to be on the ag-
gressive rather than on the defensive.
Good logical candidates from each dis
trict should be selected without delay,
and a choice made. Being a Democrat
and of the first district, affords me
great pleasure to be able to place be-
fore the voters of the district the
name of a gentleman who would do
honor to the party Of the State as a
representative, Hon. w. w. Brannon,
OF. Weston, although not an avowed
candidate, could, it is hoped, be pre-
vailed upon to make the race. Mr..
Brannon is a selfmade man, an able
jurist, and a lawyer of marked ability.
He is a man that the voters of the dis
trict could easily unite on, and should
he be elected, would fill the position to
the entire satisfaction of all. BY his
perseverance and natural power as a
lawyer he has built up of the I'm
est law practices in the State, and is a
hustler from the word go. Should Mr..
Brannon decide to become a candidate,
and should he receive the nomination,
his election would be assured. and

TEN AGES OF WOMEN.
They Pass Through Stnges of Seven
Years and Then Awnit

an that the seven stages of her life may
be reckoned as composed of multiples
of seven. The first seven years are in
fancy. the second seven childhood- the
third seven girlhood. the fourth seven
brings fully developed womanhood.
From 2S to 35-the fifth seven-might
be called the infancy of age, for in
those years one learns to exercise the

been developed in the previous groups.

streets, near the gates of city or out
in the open field. The object of erect
ing the structures is to show reverence
or esteem for the departed. Sometimes
they are erected to other than the wild
ows who refuse to marry again. Dis
tinguished men are allowed to rear
them to themselves. No man, however,
can build one without the permission
of the emperor. When such permission
is granted note of it is made, in Chi
nese characters, on the top part of the
arch and the mans name becomes
famous from that time.
The arch to the memory of widow
is usually built by her friends. As in
the case of burial, the elaborateness de-
pends upon the wealth of relatives to
a, great extent. The difference in a
great measure is noticeable in the carv-
ing, especially in the number of carved
characters placed thereon. 1t is
seldom that an arch more than 25 feet
in height is found. The one shown in
the accompanying illustrate ton is about
Is feet in height. These arches are
built of either wood or stone. The stone
ones, like those of wood, are fastened
by mortises and wedges.
In country places a number of them
will often be found side by side form
ing straight line for some distance,
though it is more of an honor to have
them built near a temple. The widow
who decides that she will win an arch
at her death at once goes into the fam
ily of her deceased husband and begins
a life of servitude in many cases. She
is under the direction of her mother
in-law from morning till night.

Unusual hubbub prevailed in the
josshouse when the two wagons of Sing
Law, a Chinese eXpressman, backed up
to the perpetually guarded doors and
the squad of selected Mongolians whis-
pered the sacred password in the dim
ly lighted hallway. The vestibule of
the temple was thronged with yellow
men conversing in low tones. Senti-
nels were posted in the balconies, upon
the roof and in the streets outside.
1t was designed that no profane eyes
of the Caucasian neighborhood should
witness the sacred rite of the hegira
of the gods-or, at least, should not
comprehend it if seen. But all pre-
cautions were useless, says the Chicago
Chronicle From window across the
street Inspector Hartnett and four
officers of his command saw all. The
scenes and incidents enacted before
their eyes convinced the observant and
interested police officials that China
town is utterly panic-sticken from fear
of a massacre in retaliation for the
"BoXers' deeds of slaughter in the
orient.
From conspicuous place in the altar
of the inner shrine of the temple the
great dragon of leather and sawdust
that had been brought hither from
China many years ago had been dis
placed in preparation for the removal
ceremony, and in its stead was dragon
image cut from sheet of paper, pig
mented in gaudy hue. This last repre-
sentation of the1sacred reptile of the
Mongolians was about all that re-
mained of the plethora of divinities
usually crowding the inches and pedes-
tails of the fame. The whole array OF
waxen gods had been carefully taken
from its moorings the previous after
noon. and the eidolons, after being
busted reverently, were hidden or
packed away in baskets of fruit and
hampers of raw rice.
These waXen images represented the
departed ancestors of the worshipers,
and after a short ritual service was
read over them by high priests of the
joss they were lifted up by the Chi
nese expressman and borne to the
wagons at the street doors.
Not having any interest in the pro-
ceedings, except that of the curious
spectator, the secreted police inspector
and his squad of officers took no meas.
rres for a pursuit of the picturesque
caravan. 1t was long after the break.
fast hour when the Chinese party re-
turned to the city. In the afternoon
its members were in council, taking
measures for maintaining secret
guard at the grave of the gods they
had buried. as well as at the Chinese
lots at Oallwoods and Rosehill-the two
cemeteries where have been buried all
the children of the sun and moon who
have died in Chicago.
