day afternoon, fought q battle with
Sheriff Millers posse, killing the sher-

1t is thought that at least six of the
Indians were killed and several others
wounded, among the latter being Eagle

WE ARE NOT PLEASED
But We Cannot See How We Can Help
China in Manchuria.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Sir Chentung
LANG Seng, the Chinese minister here,
acting under instructions from his gov
eminent at Pekin, has been particu-
larry active recently in the effort to
interest the United States government
i'm China's behalf in her Manchurian
trouble. 1t appears, however, that Sec.
Hay has not been enabled to hit upon
any plan of action that would promise
to serve China.
Events reported as having happened
at Mukden regarding the reoccupation
of that town are not looked upon by
friendly eyes by the officials here, but
SO long as the United States govern
ment secures and retains trade in Man.
chura ii Will not be drawn into the
political complications of the present
situation.
Immediately after his visit to the
state department, Sir LANG cabled to
Pckin the answer Of Secretary Hay to
China's appeal for assistance in check
ing Russi:L in Manchuria. The Pekn
authorities are aware that until the
ratification OF the American Chinese
treaty it will be impossible for this
government TO protest against Russia's
continued occupation of Manchuria. 1t
is expected that the commercial treaty,
which should arrive at Washington,
this week, will be ratified at the extra
session of Congress.
The Pekin government has been told
that infringement by Russia of Ameri
can treaty rights in Manchuria will
furnish the Washington government
the opportunity for at least a reitera
ton of its desire for the preservation
of the integrity of China.
Japan, it was learned, tonight, has
instituted vigorous investigation re-
garding the extent and character of
Russia's reoccupation of Mukden.

and containing the skeletons of five
men, the bones being in their proper
position. 1t is clear from old docu-
ments that these collins ought to lie
here, and the remains are authentic
of five celebrated abbots; but the cof-
fins must have been rified, for no slabs
covered them, nor were any valuables
in them-ecclesiastica crosses and
rings, such as were usually buried.
Still, there was sufficient evidence
for the learned ones to identify the
remains, which were reVently remoV-
ed while further work was in prog
ress. Later they were once more re-
inferred in their respective collins, and
now heavy slabs cover them, on which
it is intended to inscribe the names
and the dates, which range from las
to 1856.
How far these ruins when fully~ex-
plored will take us back it is hard to
guess. The Saxon King Edmund, the
martyr from whom the town takes it's
name was both crowned and buried
here, after having been put to death
by the Danes. On the site of his tomb
six priests founded a monastery; and
here Canute raised a Benedictine~ alb
hey which in time became the richest
and most important in England, save
that of Glastonbury. e~ssss
Its power grew till, in the thirteenth
century, it was at it's height. By this
time its revenues were large, for the
abbots held the title deeds of many
of the neighboring estates, and pos
sessed several outlying chapels and
houses in the surrounding country

A need of the hour is a more pro-
ductive source of radiun, which is of
great scientific Importance, although
not likely to be put to any practlcai
use. RMS new ,eIement-supposed to
resemble bar1unl-fs not known in the
metallic state, and only it's salts have
been obtained from pitchblende and
other uranium minerals. The chloride
is by far the most remarkable pro-
activity misunderstanding to its pur-
ity-from 800 to 100000 times that of
uranium. The radiations are luminous,
but differ from light, they affect
Photographic plate in a few seconds,
they set up phosphorescence in other
substances, they burn the skin and de-
stroy bacteria, some of them are de-
fiected by magnet and others resem-
bic X-rays, and they change oxygen
to ozone and turn glass almost black.
1t is estimated that 5000 tons of uran-
ium residues would not yield two
pounds of radium. In three years the
production of radium salts has been
only pound and quarter, and the
only chemically pure radium chloride
IN existence IS a specimen weighing

mated with barium can be had for
$4,000 each, while lower grades are
on the market at $3.50 to 500 per
gramme. Even if store of radium
should be found, the extraction of the
substance will be a great difficulty, as
merely to enter a room containing
two pounds would probably destroy
