ANOTHER FALSE STATEMENT.
Deputy Marshal James H. Clark
Placed in False Light.

In Philadelphia paper yesterday
there appeared an article in which was
told the visit of Deputy Marshal James
ii. Clark to Senator Mark A. Hanna.
Mr.. Clark met Sun representative at

statement. which he said was not true.
Mr.. Clark is very indignant at the
pubncation. The statement:
Then Deputy United States Marshal
James Ill. Clark, of this city, was sum-
moned to tell what he could do with his
brother, Theodore +. Clark, and it is
rumored Hanna told him that il his
brother would turn in for two Senators,
he, the deputy marshal, would be made
the next marshal.
MIR. Clark says the subject was not
mentioned nor referred to by himself or
Mr.. Hanna. The statement he said is
absolutely untrue.

OONGER REPORTS. wra
Sends Dispatch Confirming News of
Chinese Courts Surrender.

Sends Dispatch Confirming News of
Chinese Courts Surrender.
Washington, Feb. PA cablegram
has been received at the state depart
ment from Minister Conger stating
that the Chinese plenipotentiaries have
informed the foreign ministers that the
emperor has agreed to all the punish
ments named in his (Conger's) tele-
gram of Feb. last, in which the de-
outlined.
1t is yet uncertain whether Mr.. Con-
gers message marks the passage of
this important phase of the Chinese
question relative to punishments and
the taking up of the questions of in
'demnity and guarantees. All depends
upon whether the foreign ministers at
Peking have determined that the SEN
tences must be executed as prelimi
nary to further progress in the negotia-
tions.
1t is surmised here that such is the
case, though it is regarded as an un-
necessary delay in the negotiations,
which, it is apparent to the official
mind, must consume many weeks be-
fore the single question of indemnities
can be cleared away.
Apprehension on this score is based
upon reports, unofficial but credible,
indicating the purpose of the Germans
to claim indemnities which both in
amount and method of payment would
be far beyond the ability of the Chi
nese to meet unless the just claims of
the other powers are ignored

Canal Board Wins N,ctorz

Washington, May IS substantial
victory for the sanitary board Of Chi
cage ard for the stale ~ Illinois in the
celebrated sanitary cana controversy
was gained yesterday ,ehen the SUI
preme court announced that ii sus-
talnad the demurrer urged By the at
tnrneys fer the defendants against par
agrapil four of the supplemental Mis-
sauri bill.
This paragraph. as has been pointed
Gut in previous dispatches, referred di-
4eetl!- to the menace alleged 10 be re-
sultant because Of the decreased flow
q water from the canal, caused by an
order from the secretary of war "a cut
down the flow from 3oo.0 900 cubic fee, to
100000 cubic feet per minute.
The principal reason for fling the
supplemental bill by the attorneys for
the state Of Missouri was based on the
order of Secretary Root, and ST. Louis
people. VINO have been counting right
mares because of the Chicago germs
which they think they see in their
drinking water, We're ready to believe
that there was little left of the sanitary
boards case.
But in the face of the secretary of
wars action. and tho the flow from the
canal into the Des PLANES river had
beer cut down to the extent of 100 .0Ol
cubic feet a minute, the attorneys 70.
the Illinois end of the issue took the
bull by the horns and demurred to this
allegation on the ground that it was

Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills she

ticed a change for the better. Her I'M
provement has been continuous since
then.
She says that the disease first mani
rested itself by the appearance of dark
spots floating before ner eyes. Her
nerves We're SO bad that many times
they would collapse completely, and she
would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved her, after four doctors had given
her up. has caused no end of talk in this

praises of this new remedy Dcdd's Kid

AT the same time that the court has
sustained to the fullest extent the con-

1t has decided as matter of statutory
construction that the Dingley act could
not be held to impose duties on goods

as the second Dooley case which in
volved the validity of the collection of
duties under the Foraker act on goods
taken into Porto Rico from the United

the subject, it may be that the court
thinks there is involved in the case an

ties would not amount to duties on arti-
