SOFT COPE:

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
Scots Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

"A JOINT PROTEST
will be Made Against Further Russian
Aggrandizement
Britons Say Cars Policy is Breach of
All Undertakings
Many Ships in Chinese Waters--Russia
Has AZ There

London, April 25.-The Associated
Press has learned that there is a con-
templated forciBle joint protest on the
part of Great Britain, the United
States and Japan against Russian de-
mands in the matter of the sovereign
ty of Manchuria. Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne intends to circulate papers
looking to joint action from Washing
ton, London and Toxic, provided fur
Their information sustains the present
abstract of the Russian demands.
The Associated Press is authorized
by the foreign Office to state that if
the Chinese government correctly rep
resents Russia's claims, these claims
constitute an absolute breach of all
undertakings given in connection with
Manchuria and utterly abrogate the
principles of open door, territorial divi-
sion and the international committee
to which the British government con-
stantly and publicly has committed
itself. 1t is added that in these prin-
ciples Great Britain always acted with
the United States and it is presumed
a similar feeling exists at Washing
ton. Nothing, however, is definitely
known, as with the exception of the
British minister to China, no British
ambassador has yet reported. 1t is
pointed out that Russia's legislation
may throw Q different light on her de-
mands, although in official circles here
there is a frank expression OF the be-
lief that Russia has no intention of
evacuating Manchuria, and that she
hopes after demanding her maximum
to secure a compromise.
Baron Hayashi, the japanese minis
ter to Great Britain, said last night
that there is every reason to believe
the correctness Of the reports of Rus
sia's demands, which he characterized
as contrary to the provision Of the
agreement. He pointed out that China
had not yet given her consent to these
demands.

The Mulatto Question.

Probably nothing has contributed
more toward the persistence Of our
effort at creating an artificial being
from the negro than the absolute
elimination Of the mulatto equation
from all our considerations Of the sub
ject. When we recognize the
very simple and very patent fact that
the intermixture Of white and black
races has given US hybrid that is
neither the one nor the other; when
we get far enough along to separate
this type from the negro masses, in
our efforts at determining what may
be best for the latter; when the South
is willing to lay at the white mans
door many of the failings Of this mu-
latto type, and much of the meanness
which he too frequently exhibits
the Northern opinion is sufficiently
candid and honest to no longer per-
sist in ascribing all his virtues and &C.
complishments to the negro, think
we shall have made distinct gain in
race problem discussion.-Alfred H.

persons in the church besides the

mands' made upon China by Russia
respecting control Of Manchuria Sec
rotary Hay will communicate the facts
to the president and learn the latters
wishes.
The present impression here is that
the Russian action is a distinct breach
OF faith with the United States. The
Russian government pledged itself
three times formally and the docu-
ments are of record, that the open
door should be maintained in Manchu-
ria and the Russian troops would be
withdrawn as soon as peace was re-
stored.
Finally the latter promise took the
shape Of a treaty stipulation. 1t was
provided that the evacuation should
take place within three distinct peri
DDS. The last Russian soldier should
have quit Manchuria April s, accord
ing to that treaty. But plausible ex-
PLANTATION for a temporary detention
of the remaining Russian troops was
offered by Russia in the claim that
the country was still disturbed and
that vigorous military methods were
necessary in the interest of sanitation
In view Of the latest developments
in Manchuria the naval strength OF
various powers in Chinese waters be-
comes interesting. The Russian fleet
has been gradually increased until
now it numbers AZ vessels. France
has 81 ships, and 20 others in India
and Cochin China waters. Great Brit
ain has 81 war vessels in Chinese
waters and Germany II. The Ken
lucky and the Oregon are the only
American battleships on the Asiatic
station, but there are "A other smaller
American warships, including two
monitors and some small gun boats in
Philippine waters. Japan has strong
naval force on the coast.

VOTE NO CONFIDENCE
ILLINOIS HOUSE REPUDIATES
SPEAKER MILLER.
BUT BY SMALL MAJORITY
Alleged that Speaker Made Unwar-
ranted Use of the GaveI in Refus-
ing to Allow RoIIcaIl--Subpoena
Issued for Geo. H. Human of Chi
cago, in Order to Probe Bribery.

Springfield, HI, April 25.-The Hi
nols house OF Representatives yester-
day, ~ TO 60, declared no confidence"
in its presiding officer, Speaker John
H. Miller, whose alleged unwarrant-
ed use of the gavel in securing a pro-
posed enactment affecting the Rich
street railway franchises in Chicago
led to a riot Thursday A committee
of five, all personal followers of the
speaker, had been appointed by him
TO investigate the charges of ATTEMPT
ed bribery in connection with the
passage of the Mueller traction bill
There was a strong feeling among the
anti-Miller legislators that there was
a possibility of a whitewash Icing at
tempted, and steps were taken to in
crease the committee in such a man
ner as to leave the speakers appoin>
tees in the minority, if nything in the
line OF a whitewash should be at
tempted. The Miller men fought hard
to retain the committee as originally
appointed, but were out-voted. and
the report of the committee was made
the special order for next Tuesday
morning. A subpoena issued for
George W. Human of Chicago was
made returnable at the same time
1t is the intention of the house to in
terrogate him regarding him regard
ing the facts upon which an editorial
in the Inter Ocean alleging bribery in
connection with the Mueller Till was
based.
The anti-Mlller men came into rep
resentative hall determined to force
the speaker to prove his charges or
withdraw them. If he could not
readily be induced to act they had de-
cided that no business should be
transacted in the house until he had
complied with their demand. They
had their own way in everything from
first to last, and the speakers forces
were defeated at every point.
Speaker Under Fire.
Springfield, April 25.-Speaker Mil
Ter went before the investigating CON-
mittee at 10:45 and at 1890 a. M.
was still on the stand. He did not
give the name of any person who had
approached him with offers of money,
saying he did not know the identity of
the people who had told him money
could be made by urging the passage
of the Mueller bill. A member of the
committee announced early this morn,
ing that unless stronger evidence was
produced the committee would be
compelled to report the charges did
not warrant further investigation.
