POWERS DEADLOCK.
Ministers at Peking Cannot
Agree on Terms.
SITUATION REGARDED As SERIOUS.
Great britain and Russia Blamed
For the Failure 10 settle the
Matter of Indem-

PEKING, July 1.-THE ministers of
the powers now freely admit that the
prospect of n conclusion of the negotia
tions is growing darker. The situation
is most serious as the deadlock has con
tinued for more than month. The
meeting arranged for yesterday was post
poned because ii was apparent that the
proceedings would be frutless.
1t was mt the meeting of July IL that
the ministers reached something in the
nature of an agreement as to the indem-
nifty, bat almost immediately radical
difference developed between Great Brit
ain and Russia as to the details of the
plan of payment. All the ministers were
in accord with the scheme early in June,
subject to the approval of their govern
ments, but Great Britain disapproved the
arrangement on the ground that it did not
adequately protect her commercial inter
ests.
The neutral ministers assert that either
Great Britain or Russia must make ma
terial concessions before n conclusion Of
the agreement Is possible. Meanwhile
the committees of the ministers are work
ing upon comparatively unimportant de.
tails. such as improvements in navigation,
but IL the financial question was settled
the negotiations could be closed in a day.
Iii Hung Chang keeps sending strenu
Gus requests TO the ministers OF the pow
ers to present n complete plan. He rep
resents that China is willing to accept
any reasonable terms and is chiefly anx-
ious to know definitely what the powers
require so that she mag begin compliance
with the terms.
The ministers regard newspaper accu-
sations of procrastination on their part
as exceedingly unjust. The governments
aud not the ministers are responsible, the
ministers say, for the deadlock

HARDENING A LITTLE QUEEN.
Wflheimina of Holland Has Been
Taken Out I'm All Kinds of
Weather.

1t is Incorrect to say 'the little
queen of Holland" any longer, al
though for many years yet Wilhel-
nina will be young. She not only has
the gift of youth, but is strong and
well. Ever since she was baby,
writes one of her subjects in the
Pail Mall Magazine, she has been taken
out in all weathers in an open ear
riage, and has thus been hardened to
the outer world.
Many who saw the delicate child
braving the east winds have trem-
bled for her health; but if these same
doubters saw her, few years later,
watching the autumn military maneu-
vers on horseback, on an open moor,
in steady downpour of rain, they
would have acknowledged the COM
plete success of the venture. They
would have seen how the clustering
wind and the little rivulets that
trickled from her hat only served to
heighten naturally superb appetite,
which it took many sandwiches from
mothers" carriage to appease.
The royal hat was tilted back a
little to give the simple luncheon
chance of keeping dry, and the invi-
tations of mother to take warm
corner in the victoria were banter
ingly refused.
Wilhelmina's soldiers will never
forget that scene on the erain-drenched
heath. Perhaps they enjoyed it more
than mother did. She, poor lady! may
have felt like the hen whose chicken
took to the water, only in this case
mother had been teaching the chick
en- how to swim.

Drought Worse Than Charlton.

JACKSON, Miss, July 17.-Governor
Longino has returned from the delta,
where he went to investigate the charbon
epidemic in company with Professor Rob
erts, state veterinarian. They vaccinated
every mule owned by the state and are
satisfied that the situation is improved.
Charbon was found in Sharkey, Issaquela
and Bolivar counties. In the last named
county nearly all the stock died before
virus was procured. "Worse than char
bon and all the disease just now," said
Governor Longino, lis the drought. The
corn crop is ruined. The yield in the delta
and the section through which travelled
will not make one-fourth of crop. Cot
ton looks fairly well, but is beginning to

It is a singular thing that in tho
popular view of disease the interde-
pendence of the several organs of the
body is lost sight Of The heart, for
example, is diseased and it is treated as
if it were entirely separated from, and
independent of, every other organ.
The fallacy of this opinion is shown
by the cures of heart utrouble," liver
ctrouble," kidney "trouble" and other
so-called ctroubles," effected by the use
of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. Primarily the uDiscovery" is
medicine for the cure of diseases of the
stomach and blood. But it cures dis
eases of organs seemingly remote from
the stomach, because these diseases have
their origin in a diseased condition of
the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.

weak heart, but they did me no good" writes
