Great Britain's reply to the amended
Hay.l'aunceiote canal treaty has been
received in Washington and, while its
contents are not yet made public, II is
understood that II is dignified but
complete rejection and leaves .he United
States the responsibility for any further
action in the matter. This respon-
sibility should be cheerlully accepted by
the United States and the canal con.
structed without asking any European
nations consent. BY someone's blunder
we were placed in such position that
we were under moral obligation to
consult with Great Britain regarding
the matter We have consulted, but
we are under no material obligation to
subject ourselves to her ideas. No great
calamity is likely TO follow even II we
were to go little contrary to her
wishes.

John r. Harvey, Of the Old Channel

Chicago and the neighboring country
was visited on March 10 by one OF the
most severe wind storms OF the season.
Thousands Of telegraph, telephone and
electric light poles were blown down and
property was damaged in the city 10 the
extent Of $4,000. In reading accounts
OF such occurrences in other places, our
own climatic advantages are brought
more forcible 10 our minds. We are
very prone TO forget our many blessings
in that regard and TO exclaim volubly

Deafness Cannot be Cur ed

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con.
dition Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inaamed you have a rum.
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when II is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and the tube restored
to It's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inaamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.

THREAT TO MAKE CHINA PAY.
REPORT THAT 100000 MORE A DAY WOULD
BE ASKED IF DEMANDS WERE REFUSED.

Washington. May 29-The Department of
State has been informed reliably that the Chi
nese Government has issued decree agreeing
TO pay indemnity of 450.0O0.0O0 taels. equiva-
lent to about S337. 100000 at the present rate of
exchange. 1t is known that the whole sub
ject OF indemnity will be closed before the end
OF the present month. If that is not done, and
evacuation is not under way a large scale,
then the Chinese Government must be assessed
S1,O00.000 each day after June l next. TO COM
pensate the powers for the maintenance of their
military forces in China. Under this whip the
Chinese Government has been forced to yield.
II is not known that the powers have agreed on
the form and extent of guarantee. but, now
that the amount Of the indemnity is fixed, not
much difficulty is expected on this score.
The United States Government has not taken
part in the selection of a military commandant
to succeed Field Marshal Count Waldersee
in command at Pekng Having dispensed with
a military force in China, the United States is
not concerned in the personality OF the military
chief. This country's legation guard will not
owe allegiance or obedience 10 any foreign com
mander. but will be answerable solely to the
United States Minister or charge.
In case of common peril the several legation
guards may unite for the common defence,
when they may select their own leader. they
did during the defence of the legations last
year.
