MEXICO TO DEAL WITH TRUSTS.
Remedy to Consist Mainly in Greater
Publicity

CHICAGO. December 13-A measure
looking to restricting the operations of
trusts in Mexico. which is said to have
the approval of President Diaz, has been
prepared. and its passage by the federal
congress will be attempted, says a special
to the Record Herald. from the City of
Mexico. Greater publicity is the remedy
sought. Nearly all of the principal branches
of industry in Mexico are now controlled
by combines. The new bill does not apply
to railway mergers.

Regrets the Situation.

1T have the honor to further express that
his maiesty's government regrets the situa-
tion which has arisen. but cannot accept
your note as sufficient reply to my COM
munication nor as indicative of the inten-
ton Of the Venezuelan government to salts
fy the claims which his majestys govern
ment have brought forward, and 1t must be
understood that they include all well-found-
ed claims which have arisen in consequence
of the last civil war and the previous ones,
and the ill-treatment and Imprisonment Of
British subjects. and also include an ar
rangement for the foreign debt. l have
asked the Venezuelan government to make
q declaration that they recognize in prtn-
cipal the business of these claims. that they
will Immediately make compensation in the
navigation cases and the cases above men,
toned and in those in which British sub
jects have been uniustly imprisoned or ILL
treated. and that respecting other claims
they will accept the decision of a mixed
commission as to the amount and guaranty
which should be given for payment. / have
also expressed the hope that the Venezuelan
government will defer to these demands and
not oblige his maiesty's government to take
steps to obtain satisfaction.

THE ANTI-SM(KE LAW
Senator Gallinger Favors Its
Amendment.
PROPOSED Oh A N e. E s
BELIEVES THE STATUTE COULD
BE MADE MORE REASONABLE.
He Regards It Now as Too Strict in
Its Requirements-Ceu Be
Made Practicable.

Senator Gallinger, acting chairman OF the
Senate committee on the District OF Column
bia has long observed the operation of the
anti-smoke law in the District and has con-
cluded that something is wrong with that
statute. He has always been outspoken In
advocating measures for effectually sup
pressing the smoke nuisance, and believes
that in no other city of the country is there
more reason why the quantity of overhang-
ing smoke should be reduced to minimum
than at the capital, where the tendency to-
ward the construction of buildings of white
marble and light-colored brick is so pro-
nounced.
After long observation and careful con-
sideration of this matter Senator Gallinger
has concluded that the amount of smoke
that at times hangs over the city Is larger
than it would otherwise be because, 1t hav-
ing been found impossible to comply strict
ly with the letter of the law, Its yiolators
have appeared to act in a large part In ac-
cordance with the old adage that one may
as well be hung fora sheep as lamb. He
believes that the anti-smoke law should be
so framed that 1t can be complied with, and
then that it should be strictly enforced SO
as to reduce the smoke nuisance to the min
imum.

today for his views as to the course that
should be followed in order to perfect the

THE CITY OF THE FUTURE.
Forecast Of Leading German Arehl-
tect.

DR. Stubben, the famous German
architect, has recently published his
views regarding the city of the future
and what ii will be like.
His notion is that ii will take the
form of IL central block of municipal
buildings, from which all the princi-
pal streets and ;horoughfares will ra-
diate. Around the center will be drawn
concentric circles of other streets
crossing the main arteries. There will
be. secondary streets. Certain thor
oughfares will be devoted to dwelling
houses, others to factories and shops
and so forth
Traffic will be carried on in the
streets in stories. the principal avenues
having three stories. All heavy rail-
way traffic and street cars will be un-
derground. The present streets will be
devoted to vehicular traffic Foot pas
sengers will monopolize the upper sto-
ry. where all the principal shops will
be situated. The footpaths will be
spared from the sun in the summer
and from the rain and snow in the
winter.

"The contents of the intestines be-

the fact that the mucous membrane
of the large intestine, and hence the
intestinal juice of that region, is al

for by the fact that fermentation
processes are especially active in the
colon. 1t is possible that the appen-

The malady from which King Ed
ward has been suffering for several
weeks past is an inflammation of
the yermiform appendix. This is a
slender, wormiike attachment to the
intestine, from three to six inches
long. 1t is situated rather low down
in the abdomen, on the right side.
In the accompanying drawing the
stomach Is indicated at L, the long,
much folded small intestine Tor

Cor colon) at 3. 1t will be noticed
that the junction between the last
two is not effected end to end, but
that the former is inserted into the
side of the latter in such way as
to leave a blind sac at the lower ex-
tremity of the colon. This sac is
called the caecum, and is indicated
by c. The appendix, ID, hangs from
it like a rats tail, though not quite
so slender or straight In an at
tack Of appendicitis the soreness
often affects the caeeum as well as

dix is missing in many people, it has

has reached a point in its evolution
where the appendix is no longer
