SAN FRANCISCO CANNOT GET
WAFER FROM NATIONAL PARK.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The secretary
of the interior HAS refused the appli-
cation of the city of San Francisco
for permission to begin the necessary
construction toward the object of a
water supply from the Yosemite ma
ticnal park. The city proposed to
expend sSs,O0o,0OO on water works.
The adverse action is based on the
TACT that the organic act creating the
park requires the government to keep
it in the natural condition. The city
wished to build a dam at the end Of
Hettechy valley and convert that val
ley into reservoir. 1t also was pro
posed to dam up the end of Lake
Eleanor.

An Evil In Food the Law Should
Reach.

In reference to the use of alum bak-
ing powders Prof Schweitzer, of the
State University of Missouri, says:
'"The deleterious effects of alum and
the soluble salts of alumina upon the
human system, even when used in
small quantities, are too well known to
need relating; their use in baking pow
der is dangerous, and should be re-
stricted."
The effects of the continuous use of
alum baking powders are thus summed
up in medical publication
alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food
1T is an irritant which inflames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal
canal.
at is an astringent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which interferes
with digestion.
TT renders the albumen of the food
partially insoluble, and therefore takes
away from its nutritive value.
1T is absorbed into the blood, which
it tends to thicken and coagulate. The
free flow of the blood through the or
gans of the heart is thus retarded
'Its continued absorption il the
system causes some forms of nervous
prostrations and many of those affec-
tons of the nerves from which both
women and men suffer.
Fourteen grains of alum have
caused the death of a child. Larger
doses have frequently resulted fatally
in the case of adults
No drug so powerful and deadly, no
matter in what proportions it may be
employed, can safely be used in any
article of food

SHAkY FEELING OVER RUSSO
JAPAN SITUATION.
PREPARATIONS FOR FIGHT
Japan Makes Quick Movements OF
Fleets, Replaces Soft Coal in
Ships for Hard Welsh Steam Fuel
and Takes Unnecessary Woodwork
Off of Vessels.

Pekin, Dec. 24.-The optimistic
feeling in some quarters concerning
war between Japan and Russia is not
shared by the older diplomats at
Pekin, whose knowledge of the pres
ent situation entities their opinion to
the highest consideration. 1t is posi-
lively known that Japan has drawn
the line for settlement. 1t is also be-
lieved that Japan will refuse any ar
rangement holding in allegiance the
question of the evacuation of Man
churia, which was one of the terms OF
the proposed arrangement recently
announced from st. Petersburg and
which it is now supposed was intend
ed by the Russian government as a
'feeler." This would be violation
of the expressed pledges given Japan
and China. They foresee many per
lis menacing China in the event OF
war and the possibility that the parti
ton of the empire may result from
China's inability to maintain the neu
trality of her harbors and subjects.

al preparations.
The Mails correspondent gives
rumor of the intention of Russia tt

Nagaski says that the Japanese fee
is replacing the soft coal in it's bunk
ers with hard Welsh steam coal, ant
also that all superfiuous wood worl
on the vessels is being removed.
In financial quarters, both in Lon
don and Paris, confidence is still un

is divided against itself. Fourteen Delegates voted
Tor the DIS and fourteen against. Among the four
teen Delegates who voted for the bills there are Re
pubieans as well as Democrats, and among the
fourteen Delegates who voted adversely there are
Democrats as well as Republicans. If one inference
Is more manifest than another it is that political
partisanship is much of a myth in the House. An
other Inference is that the division Is not altogether
due to matters of policy; for, if policy were the i'm
petus, public improvement bills should receive unan-
imOus approval.
The even division brought out by the defeat OF
these bills possibly indicates that the House is boil
ing and ready for another explosion. If this indica-
ton be correct. the managers of the explosion
should hasten the climax, so that improvement bills
may be the sooner passed. The same managers
might be reminded, though, that the citizens would
rather that other weapons be chosen than measures
for public work.
The deadlock has been effected through the de
lection of E. NJ. Block, of the Eighth Ward, to the
opposition, and if special compliments are 10 be
paid TO any Delegate in particular 1t would appear
that the honors and trophies, should there be any,
ought to 90 to him. By voting against the bills
Mr.. Block may have brought credit on the Eighth
Ward, which he was elected to represent, and the
citizens of the Eighth Ward might. to their own
advantage, give close attention to his work.
st. Louis presents a very attractive appearance
on account of the street improvements made in
the last two years, and it may be that some Del
egates who voted against the defeated bills were
of the opinion that st. Louis is getting too beautiful
for them. 1t would not be amiss. however, for the
voters to remember every one of the fourteen Dele
gates who oppose public improvement. The pollti-
cal vendetta always produces effect.

LEGISLATION NEEDED.

Judge Hazen of Topeka has sentenced two coal
operators to Jail because they refused to testify in
the coal trust inquiry which the Attorney General
of Kansas has started in that State. The two men
will appeal to the Supreme Court, asking that they
be released. Their plea is ON the ground that their
answers might ineriminate them.
1t is hardly proper TO forecast the appellate
courts decision on the question. Here in Missouri
the Supreme Court has decided that a witness is the
sole judge of the discriminating clause, following
the decisions of the United States Supreme Court
before the law was amended to exempt from pros
ecution a witness who testified against himself.
When the General Assembly next meets, the Mis-
souri, law probably will be amended to conform with
the Federal statute. There is no reason why a wit
ness should be permitted to invoke the discriminating
clause of the Constitution when his testimony can
not be used against him in subsequent proceedings.
This protection has been of too much service TO
witnesses in the recent Doodle Investigations. The
men who have invoked it have branded themselves
as participants in transactions which do not bear
inspection. In bribery cases it is unavoidable that
crooked men be used as witnesses. Brides are not
offered or given except with the knowledge of par

OF Christian, Douglas, Stone, Ozark, Hickory and
Polk gave overwhelming m~ajorities against the
amendment; while the more progressive and pros
porous counties-Audrain. Boone, Galloway, How
ard, Randolph, Monroe, Saline. Lafayette, Johnson,
Clay and others of like character-save heavy ma
torities for the amendment.
In q few of the Democratic counties the PROPOSE
ton to divide the State school moneys among the
counties in proportion to the population has been
discussed. The plan met with considerable favor
and a good many voted against the amendment
thinking that the other plan would be submitted
and adopted. But for this fact the amendment
would have carried without any votes from st.
Louis, Jackson or Buchanan counties. That these
three centers of population did act tremendously
with the other educational centers in the State is
not a cause for regret but for congratulation. The
teachers and educators were not only for the amend
ment but were aggressively active in support.
