Consumption Can BE Cured.

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as a benefit to persons af.
fected with any chest complaint.
The recommendation is made because
In all cases of lung trouble 1t is impor-
tant for the sufferer to indulge in exer-
else by which the chest is In part filled
by and emptied of air, for the exercise
is strengthening to the throat, lungs
and muscles of the chest. Reading
aloud can be practiced by all, and can
be pleasure and profit to both reader
and hearers. In this treatment it is
recommended that the reading be delib-
crate, without being allowed to drag,
that the enunciation be clear, the body
be held in an easy, unstrained, upright
position, so that the chest shall have
free play, and that the breathing be as
deep as possible, without undue effort.

A HITCH AT PEkIN.
Demands Presented by the French Minister
to China.


Pekin, Jan. 13.-The French Min
lister, Nj. Beau, refuses to present his
credentials until China fulfills certain
demands of the French Government.
The joint audience of the foreign and
new Chinese Ministers, which had
been arranged, had been postponed
because of M. Beaus action. His
colleagues are discussing whether to
support him or not. A repitition of
the Turkish incident is considered
possible.
The Dowager Empress today follow
ed up her friendly advances by send
ing verbal messages to several of the
Ministers, thanking them for the care
they had taken of the palace and ex-
pressing pleasure at the reception ac-
corded by the foreigners on the occa,
sion of their Majesties' entry into
Pekin.
The report of the arrest of General
Tung Fuh Slang, whose decapitation
has been ordered by the Dowager En-
press, is incorrect. The Tartar Gener-
al, who is Governor of Kwan Su, was
afraid to execute the orders he re-
eeived, owing to Tung Flu Slang's in
1uence among the Mohammedans,
who dominate the Province. The Gov
ernor feared that the Arrest of Tung
Fuh Slang would incite the Moham-
medans to rebellion.

HoMeslckNEss IN MANILA.
As Cure, an American News Service VIII
Be EstabIIshsd.

Manila, Jan. 14.--Medical authori-
ties here assert that considerable
portion OF the breaking down among
American residents OF the Philippine
Islands Is due to inconsistencies
Newspapers Of Manila are urging the
United States Philippine Commission
to make an appropriation for daily
cabled news service from the United
States, thus bringing Americans here
in closer touch with their home life.
A majority Of the local papers, sever
al Army officres, civil officials and
Others, have promised subscriptions
TO help meet the cable tolls for a
three months news service of 100
words day. An amount sufficient
to cover the tolls for 20 words a day
has already been subscribed. II is
hoped that this news service can be
begun January Is. II will be devoted
to American news exclusively. The
Government has offered to send news
bulletins free to all points on the
military wires.
Commissioner Bernard Moses. head
Of the Department of Public Instruc-
tion for the islands, has delivered an
address to the teachers of Manila, in
which he particularly urged the con-
tinued instruction of Filipino children
In English. He said the members
OF the wealthy farmer classes were
making a great mistake in sending
their children to Spanish schools, as
the consequent neglect in English in
struction would injure their position
and standing in the islands, which
would inevitably and indissolubly
become portion OF the American ma
tion.
The news received from Batangas
Province is cheerful. The expedition
to Loboo, in Batangas, has been &
complete success. The columns under
Colonels Wint and Wells have des-
troyed large number of barracks and
hamlets, and enough rations to keep
10000 Filipinos for six months. There
was not a single American casualty
during the entire expedition. The
enemy fed before the Americans,
meany Of them, were killed and sew
eral surrendered.

GOVERNMENT TO sLAMe.
Papers IN the United States Showing That
China Was N lessu, With Boxers.


New York. Jan. 1s.--Documents
now in possession Of Columbia Uni
yersity, It Is believed, prove that the
Chinese Imperial Government was in
league with the Boxer uprisinga. The
documents consist OF an original block
cut an a copy Of proclamation. The
papers are the gift Of the Rev. Dr.
M. E. Gamewell, who constructed the
defenses Of the allies at the siege OF
Pekin.
Some few days after the relief OF
the beleaguered garrison BY the for
eign troops, DR.. GameweIl secured
new quarters for the Methodist Epis-
copaI schools. their own buildings
having been destroyed. Two private
houses were taken and it was Ii a
table OF one OF these that a number
OF circulars were found. together with
the plate from which they were print
ed. The circulars bear the seal of
the government used upon Imperial
documents. The wording Of the cir
cuIar Is:
by Imperial Command. Let the
Boxers Of there follows the names OF
eight towns near Pekin) rise up to
united victory"
This, It is supposed, meant the des.
truction Of the foreigners, as shown
In the Boxers motto, Protect the
Manchus, destroy the foreigners.
The circulars are printed on yellow
paper, with black type, excepting the
vermiIlion of the seal or Imperial
pencil" as 1t is known. Red charact-
ers, signifying the seal Of the Boxers
are stamped on the left hand corner.

Helpless and with shoaling waters in.

on the shore and so certain were they
of their fate that the small boats were
lowered and hurried preparations
made to take to them. Almost within
an instant, however, the wind shifted
and began to blow from the north
west. Sail was clapped on to the
Calthness-shire and she was driven
clear out of shore, anchorless but
safe. SELDOM do such escapes occur

would be piled up on the Vancouver
