Pekin. Jan. 2.-SeVeral recent occur rences tend to discourage the hope that the dowager empress had learned a les son of reform from the events of the past year. Foreigners are disposed to take q pessinistic view of the outlook. General Yuns Lu's determination to or ganize two anti-fcreign army corps to offset the commands oi the pro-fOreign Chinese leaders is particularly disquiet- ing. and there is evidence of the con- tinued domination of his influence. which is bitterly anti-ioreign.
 Other incidents which are considered significant are the suppression of the only independent newspaper in this city by order of the governor of Pekin and the closing of an industrial school here, recently organized by philanthropic Chinese, also by the governors order. This school was intended for the train ing of destitute youths. Other liberal Chinese will hesitate now to give prac- tical vent to their theories, fearing the diEpleas sure of Cfficialdom.
 A third edict regarding the recent murder of q Belgian priest (pear Ming Sha Foo. in Yan Su province) has ap- peared. It appoints a special official to punish those who are guilty O. the crime and reafirms the dowager en- press good will toward Christians.
 This is an unusual act'upon the part of the court in the punishment of those guilty of the anti-Christian outrage and is taken as an evidence of the dowager empress desire. to conciliate

 The leadership of the anti-Hanna side was conceded to Cox on his arrival. Developments today indicate that Con gressman Taylor of the old Mckinley district will likely be the opponent of Congressman Dick for the next repub- Hcan Cubernatorial 1ominatiun. and Taylor. from his home, is working as hard for Price as Dick is working for McKinnon.
 Lines are being distinctly drawn on the old question or local option. The liquor associations have representatives here for Price and the Ohio Anti-SaloCl league for McKiEnon. In the last legia- lature Price opposed the Clark local option bill and McKinnon supported it.
 The senate standing committees arc selected by the senators thems elves and the house committees are all named by the speaker and it is for the control of that office that the factions are lighting.

San Juan. Porto Rico. Jan. 2.-Gov- crnor Hunts message to the legislature of PCrto Rico was read this morning before the joint session Of that body. The building was crowded. The mes sage says:
 Tranquility and content prevail in Porto Rico.

TREATMENT OF
 CONSERVATIVES
Plea for Removal of Stigma From
 Uufortunates.

New York, Jan. 2.-Dr. s. \. EEopf. the well known authority on tubercu- lOsis, in addressing the Academy of Medicine today. saiI that contrary to the opinion of the United States gov ernment, tuberculosis is not conta- gious. A man with well defined tuberculosis could do his work daily if proper precautions were taken and the sputum was removed and de- stroyed. The government, he said. had stamped all those afflicted with the dis ease with a stigma which was not proper.
 Dr. Knopf declared that the eXpul sion of immigrants because of al legged tuberculosis symptoms and tendencies was wrong. In a majority of cases they were well provided, not only for caring for themselves, but for their families as well. He recommended that a committee be appointed by the government, of which the president should be an honorary member. to study the disease and find. if possible not only specific. but the best and most approved treatment. The medi- cal profession, e~said, would welcome such commission.

Twelve of the beds are to be reserve. for wealthy sufferers, and the remainder will be foi. those who are able to afford only q small fee. King Edward has appointed an advisory committee in this matter. composed of the leading physicians
 Sir William Henry Broadbent. one of the committee, explained that it was intended to employ open-air treat ment for COnsUmptives, the success of which. he said, was now absolutely es- tabiished. Sir William was unable to give details, but he said he believed the sanitorium would be within easy distance of London. for it had been shown that open-air treatment could be conducted almost as successfully in England as in Switzerland.

RUSSIA ARRAIGNED.

Un- der the terms of this bargain the Boxer movement, which it is hinted. was fo- mented by Russia, was to be turned against foreigners, the Russians en- gazing to protect the dowager empress against the western powers in return for permission to occupy Manchuria and to have a free hand in Mongolia
 Commenting editOrialiy on this mat ter. the Times says it sees nothing in the recent history of Russian action in the far east inconsistent with the story contained in the documents sup piled by Dr. Uler.

Cleveland. Ohio, Jan. 2.-The finan- cial affairs of the Everett Moore syndi
 cate. owning or controlling q number Of urban and interurban electric rail = ways and an extensive system of local and long distance telephone lines in Ohio and Michigan. passed into the control of committee composed of seven prominent bankers of this city today. This action was taken, it is stated, as a result of temporary finan- cial embarrassment on the part of the syndicate. which has for some time past been affected by the stringency in the money market.
