HAYS ANSWER TO
ARGENTINE NOTE

Washington, March 23.-The text OF
the response of Secretary Hay to the
Argentine note proposing combined ae-
tion of American states to resist the
collection of debts by naval force was
made public to-day 1t is as follows:
without expressing assent or dis
sent from the propositions set forth in
the note of the Argentine minister of
foreign relations, dated December 20,
1902, the position of the United States
is indicated in recent messages of the
President.
1.-The President declared in his mess
age to Congress, December 2, 1902, that
by the Monroe doctrine we do not
guarantee any state against punish
ment IL it msconducts itself provided
that punishment does not take the
form of acquisition of territory by
any non-American power.
. I'm harmony with the foregoing Ian
guage the President announced in his
message of December 2, 1902:
"'No independent nation in America
need have the slightest fear of aggres-
sion from the United States. 1t be-
hooves each one to maintain order
within it's own borders, and to dis
charge its just obligations to foreign
ers When this is done it can rest as
sured that, be they strong or weak,
they have nothing to dread from out
side interference
Advocating and adhering in prac-
tice in question, concerning itself to
the resort of International arbitration
in settlement of controversies not ad
Unstable by the orderly course of dipo-
matte negotiations. the government of
the United States will always be glad
to see questions of justice by one state
against another. as well as guarantees
for the execution of whatever award
might be made. left to the decision of
the impartial arbitration tribunal be-
fore which the litigating nations, weak
or strong, alike may stand as equals
In the eye of International law and mu-
tual duty"

COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
AND DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL

Extradition papers were granted on
the 18th inst. by Governor Peabody for
w. E. Curry, travelling salesman OF
Cleveland. Ohio. under arrest at Pueb-
10 on the charge of embezzlement. The
complainant, the Vincent-Barstow
Company of Cleveland. alleges that it
gave Curry mileage books to the value
of $50 and $25 in cash to go to Wheel
ing. West Virginia. but that he EN-
bezzled the goods" and came to Pu-
eblo.
The general appropriation bills, the
short and long ones, have been COM
pared by several of the members inter-
ested in figures. and the present bills
are found to appropriate $113,0S353
less than those of two years ago. The
short appropriation bill of the Thir-
teenth General Assembly disposed Of
$342 .459.S4 including the 1851 500 OF
contingent fund that has disappeared,
and the long appropriation bill dis
posed of $5SS.S17.49. The short appro-
priation bill of the Fourteenth General
Assembly authorized the distribution
OF $171 ,973.S0. and the long appropria-
tion measure will disburse $G46, 200.
This amount, however. may be in
creased before the bill is passed.
In the House on March 18th the COM
mittee on appropriations reported on
the following bills: H. B. No. 20, to ap-
propriate S59,500 for the School for the
Deaf and Blind; H. B. No. $50. to ap-
propriate 100000 for the Home for De-
pendent ard Neglected Children; H. B.
No. 124, to appropriate $25,000 for the
Soldiers and Sailors Home; H. =. No.
S32. to make an appropriation for the
penitentiary, cut from $3.50. 900 to $780,
900; II. B. No. 55, to make an appro-
priation for the reformatory, cut from
$4,000 to $4,000; II. b. No. Z, to
make an appropriation for the Boys
Industrial School. cut from 100000 to
$4,000; H. b. No. sc. to make an ap-
preparation for improvements at the
reformatory, amended to come out of
the general fund. and cut from $4,000
to $4,000. The committee also report
ed out the general appropriation bill.
The latter is designed to make reduc-
tions in the force of the help employed
about the capitol. to limit the contin-
gent fund to $121,00O and leaves the
State Board of Arbitration without any
fund for its maintenance.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

tNeW YORK Mall ana EXpreSS.b
A murderer was shot to death legally in
Utah the other day; almost at the same
time, IN Wyoming, another was hanged.
Hanging and shooting are two of the
methods used IN civilized states in inflict-
ing capital punishment, the old Mosaic
law of "a life for a life"
In this state, and in one or two other
states now, q condemned murderer is
shocked to death by electricity; in Ger
many he is beheaded by a sword in the
hands Of the eXecutiOner. and in France
the guillOtine of evil fame is used to de-
capitate criminals condemned TO death.
Probably electrOcutiCn or electrocisiOn-
the putting of a murderer to death by
electricity-as practiced in this state is
the least Objectionable method Of inflict-
ing capital punishment 1t is the only
civilized form that is spreading. France
and its colonies are alone I'm using the
gulllotiue. and only the Teutonic and
Slavic countries use the sword. Shooting.
except in Utah, where a murderer may
choose between being hanged and shot
Is a military and naval method.
The AK and block have disappeared: the
last person beheaded by their means in
England was Simon Lord Lovat, the IA
nous or infamous adherent OF the Young
Pretender, who paid the penalty Of his
crimes and loyalty in 1746, a century and
a half age. Society is growing milder
every way; the choice allowed to muir
derers in Utah shows this, as does yet
more clearly the extension Of the use OF
electricity as a method of inflicting cap
ttdi punishment.

CENATOR HANNA seems to be de-
y voting his entire time these days

how very. very much he thinks Of Pres

be outdone in courtesy, causes from
time to time a proclamation Of his love

guished fellow citizens are playing. and
the populace is vastly amused at it.

Hanna and Roosevelt are the Os-
triches Of latter day politics. For lack
Of sand they bury their heads in each

hide their real emotions from all who
behold the touching spectacle. Really,
gentlemen, 1t won't do. Your never-tO-

The gentleman from Ohio has said a

that he would refuse the Republican

AN h1IlNG IN THE NEW YORK Med
W icai Record, DR.. A. Campbell White
Of New York declares that he has at
last found the ideal anaesthetic. II. is
merely the preparation discovered by
Professor Tripler some years ago. the
substance known as liquid air. Expert
ments conducted by DR.. White have
demonstrated to his satisfaction that
the local application Of liquid air COM
pletely deadens all sensfbility. 1t is
doubtful II it could be used in intes-
final operations. but in minor opera
tiOns, such as the removal Of fingers or
toes and other members that can easily
be reached liquid air may be substi-
tuted for chloroform or ether.
7 have tried the liquid air in a num-
! Der Of cases as a local anaesthetic. -
says DR.. White, with iuvariable sue
cess, and another important advantage
I It has here is the absence Of hemorrhage
during the operation, enabling the op-
orator TO apply the dressing before any
hemorrhage sets in the dressing then
being sufficient to stop any oozing.
Enough cases Of cancer have now been
treated with liquid air to demonstrate
beyond doubt it's efficiency" 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that liquid air ap-
plications viii stop pain during an op-
Grafton.
I Everybody has experienced the feeling
/ Of numbness that comes from exposure
! to intense cold. One who drives on a
wintry day without gloves. loses all
sense Of feeling in his hands until he
] begins to thaw them out again, when
the pain for a few moments is intense.
( OF the use of liquid air DR.. White says
/ be uses it in the form Of a spray and
by means Of a swab dipped in the fluid.
As liquid air has a temperature Of 80
degrees, Fahrenheit. below zero, it is
apparent that DR.. Whites statement to
the effect that by means of the spray
the part is frozen as hard as ice in a
minutes time is easily beHevabIe.
Answering the question as to whether
or not the tissue is affected by exposure
to such intense cold, DR.. White declares
that it is not, except in cases where
the part is an extremity, such as a fin
ger tip. Then he fears that tissue would
be lost. In other cases he declares that
the circulation returns in a few minutes
absolutely without injury to the tissue.
More, DR.. White says no pain accom-
panies the application, except at the
very beginning, when there is a slight
burning or tingling.
Dr. Whites experiments seem well
worth following UP. The use Of ether
or chloroform. except in the most care
ful hands, is invariably accompanied
by danger to the patient, and even then
it is by no means absolutely safe. It is
true that death from the administra-
ton Of chloroform by competent physi-
clans is extremely rare but # there Is
any way OF evading the outside chance,

that the Associated Press has never
