to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures

effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-

the only remedy which a reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

Recent obsery alton by VI. LabOrde on fourteen
cases of restoration to life by rhythmic traction
of the tongue shows that one and halt hours
OF treatment may be too short in some cases
and that il would be better rule not TO give
it up in despair for at least three hours, since
the vital forces can be latent for that period
An important fact brought out is that with the
older processes of resuscitation one could not
re-esta biish the respiratory movements when
the asphyXia had lasted for more than five or
six minutes; but with traction or the tongue
persons who have been under water for thirty
or forty minutes can be restored TO life. NJ.

lHE UPRISING IN China
Minister WI Says That Reports
Are Greatly Exaggerated.
Stringent Measures Reing Adopted
ny the imperial Government for
Quelling the Outbreak-The Origin
of 1.-The BoNers,'' and Why They
Are Inccnsed Against Foreigners.

The despatch received yesterday from
Tacoma. Wash. to which place it was
brought by steamer from China, and giving
an account of the civil war raging in the
province of Shantung. was shown to Min
lister WI, at the Chinese Legation. this
morning. He stated that it contained the
usual eXaggerations to be found In the
American newspapers in their stories from
China.
Minister WI said TO a Times reporter
that the Imperial Government of China
was adopting the most stringent measures
for quelling the outbreak. The new Gov
ernor of Shantung. appointed some two
months ago. is a trained military man,
having studied in the academies of Europe,
and received his appointment by reason of
his special qualifications for administering
the affairs of the unruly province.
--The Boxers" who are described as anti
foreigners, he says. were originally
peacabe organization. devoted to athletic
exercises. 1t is from their athletic exer-
cises that their name is derived In Eng
lish they are called 1.-The BOXERS" and in
Chinese the "long swords" 1T is true.
hers of this club are included in the move
ment against the foreigners. as there exists
among the people of this particular prov
ince of Shantung a perhaps mistaken no
tion that the uprising against the encroach-
ments Of foreigners is an ebullition of pa
triotiSin.''
1t is learned that the periodical out
breaks in the province of Shantung against
foreigners date from the seizure some two
years ago, by Germany of the important
seaport of Katchow. in the province. This
action on the part of Germany was brought
about by the murder of German mission
airy by an infuriated Chinese mob. and was
accomplished after the Chinese Govern
ment had made all repaTaton in its power
and had punished the offenders. Since then
an organization has existed among the
Boxers directed principally against the
Germans, who have, in many ways. rem
dered themselves extremely obnoxious to
the Chinese. The common people how
ever, are unable to distinguish between Ea-
rOpesn nationalities. and so have directed
their enmity toward foreigners in gen
eral. Ii is said. however. that the strin-
gent measures taken by the Imperial Gov
ernment of China will soon prove effectual
in queiling the rebellion and preventing
further outbreaks in the future.
