Lord Lansdowne instructed Sir Ernest
Satow, the British minister at Pc
king, that the figure erred on the side
OF Nberaltty, though he was quite
ready to agree to more moderate re-
duction.
Russia and the other powers stren-
uously held out for joint internation-
al guarantee Of the Chinese loan. This
appears to have formed the rock ON
which the powers almost split. Lord
hansdowne refused to hear Of a
guarantee and Sir Ernest Satow ca
bled as follows: @-1 ..s q
''The United States Is firmly op-
posed to any international guarantee
Mr.. Rockhill, the United States spe-
cial commissioner, states that the
president is most anxious to bring
about reduction in the indemnity.
Personally, Mr.. Rockhill is disposed to
abandon the limitation to forty mill
ions if the powers would agree on a
declaration in favor of reducing the
amount" D.
In this, as in most of the other car
dinal points, Anglo-American diplo-
macy triumphed, though the American
proposal to submit the indemnity ques-
tion to- The Hague court of arbitration

ing Great Britain. -,

London, March 19.-Coincident with
the news of alarming rebelfions in
three provinces of China the foreign
Office here has issued voluminous
blue book dealing with the protracted
negotiations between China and the
powers from March 2S, 1901, to Sept.
z, 1901, when the final protocol was
signed. In it's 275 pages of diplomatic
dispatches, edicts and digests of Chi
mas financial capabilities there is am
pie evidence that the negotiations
formed one of the most intricate webs
of international differences in the his
tory of the world. @,9..,e
One striking quotation, peculiarly
apt to- the present Far Eastern situa-
ton, can be extracted from dispatch
tersburg, sir Charles Scott, to Lord
Lansdowne, the British foreign secrs-
tary, in which Count Lamsdorf, the
Russian foreign minister, is quoted as
saying he was pleased at the fact that
the British government was desirous
of fastening a return to normal con-
ditions in China, but he dreaded the
possibility of fresh outbursts of anti
foreign fanaticism. ~.
Throughout the extended negotia-
tions on the subject of the amount,
division and method of payment of the
Chinese indemnity Great Britain and
the United States appear from the
blue book to have worked hand in
hand, though opposed by all the other
powers. After learning of the adverse
attitude of the Continental powers to-

SICKNESS DUE TO EXPOSURE.

American Soldiers in the Philippines
Fail to Observe Sanitary Rules.
Washington, Feb. Ex-Governor
Taft continued to discuss the climatic
conditions in the Philippines yester
day before the senate Philippine com
mittee. Reverting to what he had
said concerning the health OF the
American troops in the Philippines,
Governor Taft said that much OF this
sickness which does exist was due tc
exposure and he incidentally made an
appeal for liberal appropriations tor
the construction of barracks FOR the
protection of officers and men. The
witness thought the high death rate
OF troops in the Philippines was not
due to the guerrilla warfare. saying
that it was impossible to get soldiers
to observe the laws of hygiene. His
experience, Governor Taft said, was
that the greatest danger in the matter
of health in the Philippines is found
in the neglect of symptoms which are
not generally regarded as of import
ance in the United States.
He knew. he said, OF Europeans who
had spent 80 or 40 years in the islands
and who are in good health.

Judge Conner has been successful in
securing pension for Mrs. Hannah
Bohan whose husband died over two
years ago. Timothy Bohan was an old
resident of Arcadia township and for
many years before his death was an
invalid. After he died steps were
taken to get pension for his widow,
but it seemed impossible to secure the
chain OF evidence required by the de-
partment. Everything was shown up
with the exception of one thing, name
ly, that he had not been married be-
fore. AS matter of fact, he had not:
but to prove the negative of the matter
was impossible. Inquiries to every
known source proved unavailing. For
that discrepancy alone the claim was
twice turned down. Recently the
editor of this paper wrote Congressman
Conner full statement of the case and
asked him to take it up. This he did
and with his we'll known judicial skill
analyzed the evidence before the bur
eau and convinced the department that
it was ample to justify the claim. His
views prevailed and the result is, the
widow gets two years back pension ant
an allowance of $S month. Judge
Conner is entitled to the full credit O
securing the claim.-Carroll Herald.

GOOD HOTELS ATTRACT TRADE.
Business Men Find Them Paying In.
vestmeats.


The following clipping appeared in
recent issue OF the Ft.-Dvage-Af -Af~~~->,----
ger:
Tuseola, H., Feb. 1e.-There is now
widespread movement among cap
italists of prosperous towns in Illi-
nois, Wisconsin and Indiana, to build
hotels to advertise the towns. Recent
ly capitalists of Beloit, Wis, have
commenced q movement to erect and
maintain a fine hotel in that town.
The merchants have taken stock to the
amount of $4,000
There is now similar plan to putup
substantial hostelry in Charleston,
III. 1t is claimed that 10000 will be
collected for stock in the enterprise.
Within the last few years two new
hotels have been built at Tuscola. On
a recent occasion, during the regular
course of business, every room in both
of these hotels was occupied. Such
towns as Champaign and Decatur
bring hundreds of guests to their re-
spective towns by reason OF the hotels
they maintain and industrial enter
prises have been established as re-
suit. Improvements of this nature are
seen in many of the Illinois Central
towns, all the way from Chicago to
Cairo.
Many of the hotels in the larger
towns are drawing heavy business on
Sunday because of the class of hotels
they operate. This is considered a
desirable feature for the business in.
terests of the town. Commercial men
from half the states of the union rest
over in such towns and get a chance
to see what chances are available.
The commercial travellers trade is
on the increase. Recently one house
in Elgin, ILL.,, started out six CONNER
cial men, and this is an example o
what the towns outside of the metro
politan places, are doing in the way o
distributing business and demanding
hotel accommodations.
1t would seem to us that there il
something in the above that the peni
son Business Mems Association coult
get pointer from. IDenison hotel
are run as we'll as facilities will permi
but our city ought to have at least on
hotel that would accommodate the travel
ing public and in measure attrac
them to Denison. Denison is &C
knowledged to be the best town TO
business along the Northwestern, bu
is behind with her hotel facilitie
= Considered as an investment me-
+ hotel here would be a paying proros
e tion. If the business men of Belo
d Wis. think good hotel is worth whs
. it costs the citizens OF Denison shoul
v be willing to provide one, especial
as there is really demand for it.
