is STILL IMPROVING.
Mrs. Mckinley Sat Up for a Few
Minutes Sunday.
IL In Not Expected She Would BE
Strong Enough to Travel he
fore July. Even III Improve
ment Continues.

Washington, June 10.-The reports
from the sick room up to late hour
Sunday night were decidedly encor-
aging DIR. Rixey appeared much bet
ter satisfied with the patients con-
dition Sunday night than for some
time. Mrs. Mckinley set up for a few
minutes Sunday. Ii was the second
time she has been able TO DO so in
some time. Surgeon General Stern
berg remained longer than usual Sum
day evening. Heretofore he has MAIN
tanned "a sphynXlike silence about Mrs.
McKinley's condition, but when he
left Sunday night he said. Mrs. Nc
kinley is doing very well now. There
are no new developments"
Mrs. Mckinley will be taken to Cam
ton whenever she is i'm condition to
bear the journey. Extensive improve
ments have been made i'm the McKin-
ley home in Canton, including the
building OF portecocherie and the re-
modelling of portions of the house.
and ii was planned last autumn that
she and the president should 90 to
Canton about July l of this summer.
In case Mrs. Mckinley RECEIVERS this
plan will be carried out, though it
is not expected she would be strong
enough TO leave here the first of July,
even if Improvement should continue
steadily. DIR. RiXey said Sunday night
he was unprepared to predict whether
she would he able to carry ont these
plans. 1t is believed that considerable
benefit would accrue from removal
to her old home, especially as il is
cooler and more breezy there than
here.

LINCoLN'S REMAINS.
Recent Reinterment Placed IL at
the Mercy of Body Snatchers-
Defect to he Remedied

Chicago, June IA story is printed
saying that the recent re-interment
of the remains of Abraham Lincoln
at Springfield, ILL.,, has been done in
such manner as 10 leave them in
measure at the mercy of body
snatchers, and that steps are TO be
taken at once, at the instance of
Robert L. Lincoln, to have the body
placed as in the former monument
under a huge block OF cement, where
1t will be out of the reach of any
attempt at molestation.
Mr.. Lincoln some time ago con-
ceived the idea that H., remains of
his trf1er were not properly secured
against possible desecration 10y body
snatchers, and determined TO make
an investigation on his own account.
lie went 10 Springfield in the dis
guise of n workingman, and spent
much time in and around the new
monument. He came to the conclu-
sion that the present location of the
body left it in measure at the
mercy OF anybody who should desire
to carry IL away, particularly as
there is no Waterman around the
monument at night. He will take
steps at once to have the matter rem
edied, and have the body placed so
that it will hereafter be secure from
any interference whatever.

ACID HYPEROXIDES.
An Important AntiHeptic Discovery
by Two Noted PhysIcIans Made
Public.

Ann Arbor, Mich, June An i'm
portant antiseptic discovery upon
which Drs. Frederick q. Novy and
Paul c. Freer have been working for
over year in their respective labor
tories has just been made public The
new antiseptics are organic acid hy-
peroNides. In water solution five
one thousandths of one per cent. of
active oxygen derived from the hy-
peroxide is fatal TO all bacteria. The
hyperoXides which was used for the
experiments is benzozIacitIl. and this
as was shown by experiments on dogs,
can be taken internally in large doses
without poisoning effect The d s.
covery may, it is claimed, lead to the
further discovery of the fundamental
causes in an important field OF med.
zeal and surgical science.

CHARACTERIZATION.
A Letter to Secretary Root Regard
ing His Amendments.
Measure WAS Prepared with the Oh
ject of Avoiding Any Possible
Idea of Establishing "A Pro-
tectorate or SuzeraInty.

Washington, June s.-During the
conference between Secretary Root
and the Cuban commission, the sec
rotary wrote letter to Senator Plat.
of Connecticut who introduced the
Platt amendment, asking for his
views relative TO Intervention as
mentioned in the third clause of the
amendment. Senator Platt replied
and his letter was furnished the com
mission confidentially by the secre-
tary of war and was incorporated in
and made part of the acceptance of
the Platt amendment by the consti-
tutional convention. The latter, how
ever, appeared in a Havana paper,
and was made public by the war de
partment. The text of the letter is as
followed:
Il am in receipt of your letter of
this date, in which you say that the
members of the commission of the
Cuban constitutional convention fear
that the provisions relative to inter
vention made in the third clause of
the amendment which come to bear
my name may have the effect of pre-
venting the independence of Cuba
and in reality establish protectorate
or suZerainty by the United States,
and you request that l express my
views of the question raised
Il reply | beg TO state that the
amendment was carefully prepared
with the object of avoiding any pos
sible idea that by the acceptance
thereof the constitutional conven-
ton would thereby establish a pro-
tectorate or suzerainty. or in any
manner whatsoever compromise the
independence and sovereignty of
Cuba, and, speaking for myself. it
seems impossible that such an inter
probation can be given TO the clause.
believe that the amendment should
he considered as n whole, and it ought
to he clear ON reading il that its we'll
defined purpose is to secure and sa fe-
guard Cuban independence, and set
forth at once a clear idea of the
friendly disposition Of the United
states toward the Cuban people and
the express intention on their part
TO aid there. if necessary. in the main
tenance of said independence. These
are my ideas, and although. as You
say, ! can not speak for the entire
congress, my belief is that such a
purpose was well understood by that
body Very respectfully yours,
80. II. PLATT."
Havana, June 10.-The conservative
members Of the constitutional conven-
ton are absolutely confident that the
Platt amendment Will he accepted
and that several radicals will Join
with the - delegates who have here
tofore voted in favor of acceptance.
The last few days seem to have
brought about decided change in The
attitude of delegates who had been
bitterly arraigning the Washington
government for rejecting the convcn-
ton interpretations of the amend
nent. The strong pressure from the
outside brought to bear upon tho
convention to finish its business; and
TO place the country on settled
basis has had an excellent effect upon
the radicals. inducing them to accept
the inevitable, and some of them now
argue that it would be perhaps bet
ter to accept the amendment.

A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
Fields OF wheat I'm Which the Stoke
Were So Thick Ii Was Impossible
TO Drive Between Them.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
A gentleman from Duluth made n
trip through a portion of Western
Canada last summer, and writing of
what he saw, says:
Wheat, for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels TO the
acre. / saw shocks SO thick in the
field that il would be almost impossi-
bic to drive between them. Winters.
ii is said, are longer than near Duluth.
but the Japan current, warm chinook
winds and dry atmosphere make the
winters comparatively mild"
Thousands of such testimonies are
TO be had from settlers who have
taken advantage of the low-priced
lands of Western Canada. During the
present year new districts will be
opened up in the Saskatchewan VAL
ley, and advantage should be taken of
this at once. Information can be had
from any agent of the Government.
