FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL
Graduating Exercises to Be More
Simple as a Time and Money
Saver to Students.

The propriety Of making tho High
school commencement exercises this
year more simple and less 'emOnstfa-
tive in character than hal been the
custom was the topic for discussion
yesterday by the teachers The matter
was brought TO their attention by Prin-
ciral Eaton who had had a conference
with superintendent Christensen and
President Newman Of the board Of ed
ucation. and at the conclusion of the
meeting an of the teachers were ia
hearty accord wi,h the suggestions 90

The recollection that the students
lost tu0 weeks time last fan on ac-
count Of the fire and having to move to
new quarters, and that the school
board is Emitted in its funds on account
of these extraordinary expenditures,
suggested that IL might be Well to
adopt a policy which would result in a

the graduating class without in any

A DIPLOMATIC TILT.
United States Forces Russia
to Alter Chinese Scheme.
ATTEMPTED VIOLATION OF PLEDGES.
Objectionable Feature of Manchu-
rian Treaty Would Exclude Amer
lean Tradc-Secret Agreement
Calls Forth Another Protest.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Negotia-
tons between the United States gov
eminent and the government of Russia
relative to Manchuria are progressing
with the exhibition of a great deal of
energy on our part, though the ex-
changes are in the kindliest spirit. The
attitude of the Russian government in
this matter has shifted materially since
the beginning of the negotiations.
A treaty was drawn up originally be-
tween Russia and China providing for
the evacuation of Manchuria by Rus
sian troops, who have been in military
possession of the country since the
early days of the Boxer outbreak. This
treaty contained Il great many rather
complex guarantees in Russa's favor,
but singularly Objectionable proviso
was one placing the Russo-Chinese
bank in practical control of the COM
mercial and material interests of Man
churia.
1t was quickly perceived that the
provision, if executed, practically
would exclude Americans from compc-
tition in Manchui'ia, which is very val
liable as Il market for our manufsc-
tured cottons. Therefore Russia's at
tention was directed to our existing
rights under treaty with China and
also to her own promises made direct
ly to the United States government
during the early days of the Russian
occupation of Manchuria.
Apparently our representations were
effectual, for the Objectionable proviso
touching the Russo Chinese bank was
withdrawn from the treaty and that
convention. save in some minor re-
spects. was regarded as unobiection-
able. However it has been discovered
that the Russian government, follow
ing a practice known in European di-
plOmacy, has drawn up Il secret agree
ment with China comforting upon the
Russo-Chinese bank all the powers con-
tanned in the original treaty prOvisO.
Therefore the United States govern
ment has renewed its objections. not
only addressing itself to the Russian
government. but making Il very strong
protest to the government of China.
1t is expressly declared that in so do
ing our government has acted indie
/ pendently, though it is a matter Of
common knowledge that other great
commercial powers whose interests in
Manchuria are almost as considerable
as our own have addressed similar rep
reservations to both China and Russia.

1 began with a bottle the first week in
March and it certainly did me great
deal of good. I was so well satisfied
that purchased another bottle and fol-
lowed the directions, and can say that it
has cured me."-Henry Distin.
A large per cent of those who are
afflicted with this epidemic, instead Of
getting well as they ought to, will have
chronic catarrh as the result. This ia
almost invariably the case unless Pc
runa is taken as soon as possible after
the grip begins.
Every one who has observed the effect
of Peruna during the last three epidem-
les of la grippe positively knows that
this remedy will cure it permanently.
The fact is, however, that r great null
titude of people will not take Peruna,
and foundation for chronic catarrh
will be laid.
Even in cases where chronic catarrh
has affected the lungs, and the early
stages of catarrhal consumption have
been developed, Peruna can be relied
upon as prompt and lasting cure. La
grippe and catarrh are at present the
two great enemies of life in the land.
Peruna is a cure for either.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,

full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-An early morn
ing fire which destroyed the Empire
hotel. a large three story lodging house
at POO and 21O2 Olive street, occupied
by men exclusively, caused the death
of eleven persons, ten men and one wO-
man and dangerously injured eight
others. Ten or more who had narrow
escapes from death in the fire We're
more or less injured by being frostbit-
ten. 1t is estimated that there were
between thirty-ive and forty persons
in the building at the time, and it is
believed all have been accounted for.
The financial loss is nominal. 1t is
thought that $4,000 will cover the
damage to the building and contents,
which were totally destroyed.
The fire started about $3.50 H. m.
when but few persons were abroad
and gained considerable Roadway be-
fore it was discovered and the alarm
given. There was considerable delay in
turning in an alarm, and when the en-
gines finally reached the scene the
whole front of the building was in
flames and the interior was Il SETTLING
furnace. BY that time all who escaped
death had got out of the building by
jumping from the windows or climbing
down ropes made of bedclothes. A few
escaped from the ground floor through
the front door. Some of the escapes
We're very narrow.

CONGRESS DOES LITTLE.
Both Branches, However, Talk a
Great Deal.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-Through-
out nearly the entire session of the
senate yesterday the Philippine tariff
bill was under consideration. Mr.. Tur-
ner (Wash) concluded his speech, be-
gun last Friday. on the legal and con-
stitutional phases of the Philippine
question He held in the main that as
the FilipinOs had established an indie
pendent government in the islands pri-
or to the fall of Manila the United
States under the principles of interna-
tional law had no right in the islands.
Mr.. Teller (Colol took the floor to
deliver a speech on the pending meas
ure. but had scarcely introduced his
argument before he requested that he
be allowed to continue his address to-
day.
General debate on the oleOmargarine
! bill was closed. The friends of the bill
have decided to offer an amendment to
make the 10 cent tax apply to cleo
margarine in imitation of butter "of
any shade of yellow" The amend
ment is designed to meet the charge Of
this amendment the language of the
/ bill might be construed to absolutely
prohibit the sale of oleomargarine.
Senator Hoar from the senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections re-
ported favOrably the amendment to the
constitution introduced by himself
changing the day for the Inauguration
of the president of the United States
from March / to the last Thursday in
April. The resolution provides that the
change shall take effect in 1903 and eX-
tends the term of President Roosevelt
from March I to that date. The reso-
! lutien also provides that hereafter the
terms of senators ana members of the
| house of representatives shall begin on
the last Thursday of April instead of
March 1, as mt present.
