HOPE FOR CONSUMpTIYES.

An interesting statement on
the decrease in the number of
deaths from consumption in New
York City has just been given
out by DR.. Guilfoy, register Of
the board of health. In 1881 the
death rate from consumption was
Az a thousand population, and
in 1901 it was only 2.5 q thousand.
The doctor accordingly estimates
that 3,787 lives were saved from
1881 to 1901 in Manhattan and
the Bronx, and about 6,430 lives
were saved in the entire greater
city with a population of 900, 900.
The register attributes this
decrease almost entirely to the
spread of knowledge that con-

or should have to learn after hav-

OF the state, is, that it is more
important that Minnesota should
be the headquarters for Mr..
Hills oriental operations than
that any man should be governor
of state or that any party should
succeed in a merely state cleo
ton. The Oriental traffic means
hundreds of millions Of added
wealth to those cities which fost-

Now that the governor has sub
mitted the question of dividing
the county to Beltrami voters,
the divisionists are beginning to
realize that they are at a disad-
vantage. If either Clearwater
and Roosevelt counties" get a
majority for division, it will mean
that the voters Of the countyfavor
division at the ratio of about three
to one. We hardly think such a
strong sentiment exists.

tive measures of cleanliness and

The result ia New York reveals
the conditions everywhere, and
the meeting this month Of the
American Congress of Tuber-
culosis in that city will demon
strate the remarkable decrease
of consumption the world over.
This will be tidings of great joy
to the common opinion that there
lis no cure for this dread disease.
just twenty years ago DR..
Koch revealed his discovery that
consumption was infectious, and
hence a preventabIe disease. He
recommended the destruction Of
the sputa Of such patients to pre-
vent the spread Of the disease.
The medical world generally
adopted his advice, and today in
the large cities consumption Is
reported to the health boards al
most as promptly as smallpox.
The statistics of the past ten
years show that the most dreaded
scourge Of the human race is fast
waning, and that consumption is
not necessarily hereditary, and
may be cured in it's early stages.
To this end the state Of Mime
sofa is lending worthy aid by
establishing sanatariums where
the infected ones may breath the
balsamic airs Of the northernpine
belt.

Teresa Clara munt, the notorious agitator, Bonu- fulla and other anarchists made Vlo- lent speeches at this meeting in favor of a general strike This idea was irl- stantly adopted, and the inetrvention of the government agents who always attend such meetings was openly spurned.
 Madrid. Feb. 20.--In the chamber of deputies to-day senor Robert, deputy from the province of Catalonia, inter- pelated the government on the recent events at Barcelona Replying to senor Robert, the minister of the interior, Senor Gonzales, on behalf of the gov ernment, accepted full responsibility therefor, but asked for the adjournment of the discussion. Romero Robledo, supporting Senor Robert, said the gov ernment did not have enough guns and rifles to suppress social revolution if one broke out everywhere Senor Ro- bledo denounced the censorship over telegraphic news from Barcelona and insisted that the fact that labor prob lens existed in other countries did not excuse the government of Spain.

a note to the Russian and Chinese gov ernments following closely along the
 lines of the Anglo-Japanese treaty of January 30.
 The note is interpreted as a distinct warning to both China and Russia that
 the United States will not permit the integrity of the empire to be molested in favor of one nation to the detriment of another.
 The note, which practically endorses the English treaty with Japan, says:
 Washington, D. C., Feb. 1.-An agreement whereby China gives any corporation or company the exclusive right or privilege of opening mines, es- tablishing railroads, or in any other way industrially developing Manchuria, can but be viewed with the gravest con- cern by the government of the United States.
 Tt constitutes a monopoly which Is the treaties concluded between China and foreign powers, and thereby seri- ously affects the rights Of American cit izens.
 ''It restricts their rightful trade, ex- posing it to be discriminated against, interfered with or otherwise jeopardiz- ed, and strongly tends to permanently impairing China's sovereign rights in this part of the empire, while it seri- ously interferes with her ability to meet her int national obligations.
 Furthermore, such a concession on China's part would be undoubtedly fol lowed by, demands from other powers for similar equal extensive advantages elsewhere in the Chinese empire, and the inevitable result must be the com plete wreck of the policy of absolute equality of treatment in all nations, re- specting trade, navigation and com merce within the empires confines.
 'On the other hand, the attainment by one power of such exclusive privil- eges for the commercial organization of its nationality conflicts with the assur- ances repeatedly conveyed to this gov ernment by the imperial Russian min istry of foreign affairs of the imperial governments intention to follow the policy of the open door, as advocated by the government of the United States and accepted by all the treaty powers having commercial interests in the enl- pire.
 Tt is for these reasons that the gov ernment of the United States now as formerly, animated by the sincerest de- sire of insuring to the Whole world the benefits of full and fair intercourse be- tween China and the nations on a foot ing of equal rights and advantages to all, submits the above to the earnest of imperial governments of China and Russia confident that they will give due weight to it's importance and that they will adopt such measures as will relieve the just and natural anX- ety of the United States"
