Picking Dispatch Says United States
FnvOrs More Dchcnlinss-
A Denial Made.

Washington, April 24.-1t is said
at the state department that no
doubt, without intention, the Peking
dispatches representing the United
States as joining in the demands for
more heads and more punishment in
China, do not correctly portray the
position of this government. AS a
matter of fact Mr.. Rockhill, our spe-
cial commissioner at Picking, is act
ing under broad instructions from
the state department to do all within
his power to restrain the unneces-
sary shedding of blood. His presence
with the ministers in their consitl-
Grafton of the subject of punishments
OF provincial officials is therefore dis
tinctly palliative and deterrent. He
is seeking to minimize the punish
ments and it is not doubted that he
can do this with greater success by
adhering to the councils of the min
listers than by completely withdraw
ing himself from their deliberations,
even though the appearance is there
by conveyed that he is in full SYM
pathy with their demands.
London, April PA dispatch from
Peking says that Ii Hung Chang has
been censured severely in special
edict because after the French and
Chinese had agreed upon boundaries
the Germans, who have no concern
with this matter, march west and
threaten the Chinese. The edict, it
is said, orders Ii Hung Chang to pre-
vent the expedition, and says that if
he fails the responsibility for the
consequences will rest on him.
The emperor, in the edict, says
that Viceroys Liu Kun vi and Chang
Chih Tung were appointed joint ne
gotiators with Ii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching, but that Ii Hung
Chang spurns their opinions. Here
after, it is added, Ii Hung Chang
portant matters.
Washington, April 24.-It is UNDER
stood here that the Chinese plcnipoten-
tiaries at Picking, Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang, are preparing to give
a guarantee to the powers for the pro-
lection of all foreigners in China, if
the foreign troops now stationed there
are withdrawn. Thus far the reten-
ton of the foreign forces has been
urged as necessary in order to pre-
serve order and protect foreigners, but
the Chinese authorities say that or
der has been so far reestablished that
the imperial government is fully able
to direct the Chinese troops in such a
way as to secure complete safety to
the interests of all foreigners. This
is understood to be the basis of the
withdrawal of 10000 French troops,
md it is earnestly hoped among Chi
nese officials that this will be followed
by similar movement on the part of
the other foreign forces in China.
Picking, April 24.-Many applica-
tions have been made to Mr.. Rock
hill and Gen. Cha1fee by Chinese of
all degrees for the retention in China
of the American troops until the gen
cTal withdrawal of the troops of all
the powers. Many of those who are
making this request think the with
drawal of the Americans will make
the others remain longer. There are
also people who do not desire to see
any of the soldiers go, fearing an
archy and an uprising against for
eigners. The soldiers who return do
SO with all the honors of war.

A MEDICAL MEASURE.

The aspirations OF some medical prac-
tltioners In New York are seen In their
efforts to have law passed. prohibiting
anyone, not In possession of a
diploma, from "practlclng' medicine
And the term 'practlclng' Is by that
proposed measure defined thus:
amy person shall be regarded as
practiolng medicine within the mean
ing OF this act who shall prescribe, d.
rect, recommend or advise for the use
OF any other person any remedy OF
agent whatsoever, whether with or
without the use Of any medicine, drug
instrument or other appliance, FOR the
treatment, relief or cure Of any wound,
fracture or bodily injury, iniirmlty,
physical or mental, or other defect or
disease. This article shall not be con-
strued as prohibiting the services OF any
person In an emergency, or the DO
nestle administration Of family reme-
dies"
The law Is aimed at those who pre- c.
tice mental healing or psychic thera-
peutlcs," but It will be seen that IT is so
sweeping in It's provisions that II would
make II a crime for layman 70 recon-
mend TO friend, except In an "emer-
gency," the use OF the simplest patent
medicine for head ache. That such a
law could be enforced anywhere, In a
rational community, may be doubted
But the effort to make II law Is never
theless noteworthy, as indicating the
tendency Of the present time.
In making laws, the object should be
to safeguard and not curtail the liber-
ties OF good, law abiding citizens AS
long as It is left to the option OF people
to consult new school or an old, OF
doctors, the right to try prayer, or mem
tai suggestion. can not safely be taken
away by law. Law may prevent quacks
from pretending TO be physicians, but
how can Il prevent people TO consult
quacks, II they choose to do soY 1t Is
easy TO write laws, but 1t IL difficult to
enforce them, II 1t Is felt generally that
they are useless or unjust. Human
laws should first Of all, be the interpre-
tation OF public sentiment, of public
conscience,

fact, as old as the days Of the lnqulsi-

can be used instead Of instruction and

naturally present themselves.
A quarter Of century ago a remark
able warfare against the liquor traffic

THE KANSAS WAR.

Some Of the eastern papers are sug-
costing that Mrs, Carrie Nation proba-
bly, is not entirely responsible for her
actions, and that she should be treated
for mental arrangement. and her latest
statement of her program would seem
10 bear that idea out She Is reported
to have said that she IL about to form
a band of women, for the purpose OF
smashing every saloon In the world.
She will commence in the United states
and continue her work in Europe.
Could anyone without deranged mind
seriously talk Of invading Europe on
a saloon smashing mission?
The Kansas City Star. however,
scouts the idea. That paper says the
lady is no more crazy than was the
Apostle Paul, when he made his defense
before King Agrlppa and was told that
much learning had unbalanced his
mind. She Is only Kansan, and KAN
sans. the star thinks, are not like
other persons. and It is well enough for
the world to understand that like the
Pharisee OF old, they thank God for IT.
Kansas is going TO keep something GO
ing on at any cost, and II is a place
where the manor the woman-and the
hour always make connection. The pos
sibnitles Of Kansas include everything
under heaven but stagnation and mon
otony. All that there is TO be said
about Mrs. Nation Is that she belongs
TO Kansas. The rest explains itself TO
persons who understand the temper Of
that unique community
This Is one way Of looking at 1t. In
the meantime the Ratchet idea Is
spreading, and unless II is checked
who can tell where It will end? A Chi
cago paper states that some ladies Of
Mir. Dowles following have banded
themselves together and smashed the
glassware IN drug store. their idea
being that drugs are the inventions Of
the deyil. to be rooted out by the aid
Of hatchets. And why notg II they
are as strongly opposed TO the use Of
drugs as Mrs. Nation IS to the sale Of
lntoxicanls and II violence is good logic
in one case why is It not equally good
In the other? Where win that end?

tween doctors and clergymen, Why
should not the homeopath, on the Kan
