Minister WI Jubi!ant.


Washington, d. c., Aug. 1S.-The
Chinese minister was elated when
word reached him of the press dis
patches announcing that the legation
ers had been relieved. Not a word had
come to him confirmatory of the re-
ports, and this led him to examine the
unofficial advices from Shanghai and
elsewhere, with considerable care.
He pointed out that Shanghai was
some 500 miles from Pekin, and it was
surprising that information did not
come from Tientsin or Chefoo, only
about 100 miles from Pekin, and the
base of the allied forces. Moreover,
the appeal of Ii Hung Chang for an
armistlce was dated Aug. Is, and
showed that Earl Ii did not know at
that time of the alleged retirement OF
the imperial party from Pekin. He,
however, was disposed to credit the
reports, even in the absence of official
information. He reckoned that since
the allied forces were at Tungchow
there had been ample time to cover
the short distance between that place
and Pekin, so that the reports tailed
with his own calculation on what was
likely to have occurred.
The Chinese officials have no knowl-
edge whatever of the reported depart
ure of the empress dowager and the
imperial household from Pekin on
Aug. 7. as mentioned in the Shanghai
dispatches. The place named as the
point which they took for refuge is
said to be about 100 miles inland from,
Pekin. 1t is not where the sumner pal
aces are located.

THE ONE MEDICINE

In the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which affiict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of a mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is a catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure You.

Fears Christianity In China.

Oakland. Cal, Aug. 1S.-Ho Vow,
Chinese consul-general at San Fran

society questioned the ACCESSIBILITY
even from Caucasian standpoint OF
converting the entire Chinese popula-
ton to Christianity. There are $780,
100000 OF my countrymen," said Ho
Vow. They are increasing in vast
numbers. They are quick to learn
and, taking these facts into consiiera-
ton. what would happen If the white
race succeeded in forcing its civiliza-
ton and its knowledge upon them ?
They will be able to manufacture guns
and all the engines of warfare with
equal facility. Under these circum-
stances, Christianity might triumph

WAR ON AMERICAN FLOUR.
Crusade Begun by the President OF the
British Dental Parlor.

London, Aug. 20.-Dr. Thomas G.
Read, prominent member OF the
British Chronological society. has be-
gun a crusade against American -four
He asserts that the teeth of the peo.
pie Of England are being ruined by
the excessive consumption of bread
made from ROLLER process" -four. DR..
Read said: Wheat ground by the
modern roller mill is deprived of its
grape sugar and other nutritious ele-
ments. Its unwholesome effect on the
digestive system has manifested itself
in the enormous increase of cases OF
decaying teeth.
We have unmistakable proof of this
theory in India. The Hindoos have
long been famous for their sound teeth
but within recent years the roller mill
has supplanted the historic grind
stone and there has been a marked
growth of diseases of the teeth among
the natives. Here in England there
are plenty of examples Of the same
kind. The importation of injurious
-four should be stopped. Prohibitive
tariff laws should be passed"

ports a phenomena at Ague Negra,
Guadalupe county. On Tuesday night
the inhabitants were awakened by a
rumbling noise like that of an earth

there had been no rainfall. In a few
days the water had seeped through the
