Something like united action 10
regard to Chinese affairs now seems
possible. The British German agree
ment seems to have brought about a
possibility OF joint action by the powerc.
at least so far as it relates TO the "open
door, and the territorial integrity of
China. Six powers, namely. Italy,
Austria, japan, the Uoited States,
France and Russia. accept the clauses
relative to those two questions, aod the
hrst three have given unconditional
assent 10 the whole of the sgrcemeut.
The last three powers withhold action
on the clause relating to future action
10 case OF tae seizure of territory by
aoy power. The powers seem deter.
mined to insist upon the execution of
Prince Tuao. with whom, they dem and /,
ten OF the other leading spirits 10 the
late disturbance must be put to Death.
The powers have agreed upon the
indemnity which China will have to pay.
1t will be heavy one, amounting to
$500, 600. 900. the largest ever de.
msod OF aoy nation for failure to ful.
ill its obligations under international
law. China will have to content itself
With the reflection that its territorial
integrity. so lately seriously threatened.

The Russisn minister is understood to

Mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are charged with pro
pagating yellow fever and malaria
Investigation recently made failed to
find the supposed yellow fever bacil.
lus. bnt has discovered much to sub.
stantiate the old theory of 20 years
ago that disease is spread by Infected
mosquitoes The theory that these
insects convey malaria has long since
been accepted az q fact, and the
doctors made good use of this truth
in their late investigation as to the
propagation Of yellow fever in Cuba
These doctors. while in Cuba, made
some very Interesting and rather dan.
gerous experiments They would in .
oculate mosquitoes and then allow
them 10 bite the doctors Engaged in
the Investigations. Dr. Lszear in

mined. lie deliberately let the Insect
stay until it had sasiated it's hunger,
was taken down with the fever and
died within fortnight Though
this was not one of the mosquitoes
under observation it, of course, bed
had opportunity enough to become
Infected from the patients before bit
ing Dr. Lszear.
The medical board making these
Investigations has given out the fol =.
lowing conclusions az the result Of
it's preliminary work:
'The mosquito serves as the inter-
mediate host for the parasite of yeI.
low fever. and it is highly probsbIe
that the disease is only propsgated
through the bite of this insect"
