lmnortanca Of Portal.

Washington, March 1e.--The agree
ment between the treasury department
and the Canadian Pacific Railroad
Company relative TO q port of entry
along the Canadian border provides for
the discontinuance of Pclnbina, N. D.,
as place at which Chinese may come
in. In it's place Portal, where the 500
road Gro IS the boundary line. is made
/ tie official port of entry for Chinese
entitled TO come into the United States.
At the last session of congress Portal
was made a port OF immediate trans
portation, and 1t has now become port
OF the greatest Importance in the traffic
between the United States and Cam
ada. Portal is the only point on the
boundary line between Malone. N. Y,
east OF Buffalo, and Summas, Wash,
at which Chinese, entitled to admis-
sion, may lawfully enter.
1t is stated at the treasury depart
ment that this agreement with the
Canadian Pacific does not mean any
relaxation of the vigilance Of the de-
partment in enforcing the Chinese ex-
lclusion act. On the contrary the force
along the border is being increased, as
the funds for the work have been in
creased by congress, and the law will be
more risidly enforced, If possible, than
before.

PUBLICITY NECESSARY.
Statements Of tho Trusta as Now Made
Not Satisfactory.

New York, March 16.-Tha Evening
Post, in its financial article, says: The
statements of the tobacco trust. sugar
trust and ice trust prove that publicity
suggested by the industrial commission
is very necessary and also that tha4d de .
cent protection of the investment COM
munity requires good oeal more.
"All these companies published what
they called annual statements and they
were especially such statements as
proved the need of mora light on the
companies finances.
THE tobacco trust has so marked up
the dividends of the companies it con-
trolls as to throw millions to it's own
shareholders, but nothing is said as to
how those increased dividends We're
earned.
THE sugar trust spent s6,000.00o of
Its shareholders money in buying stock
of other corporations, but declines to
say what it bought with the money.
The ice trust turns out to be losing
money heavily, but the complaining
stockholder is asked If he is bear on
the market.
Congress undoubtedly ought to do
something more than ii has done to
abate the dangerous nuisance of secre-
cy in investment corporations"

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Declines in Stock Market Due Largely
TO Money Strinaercy.

to Money otringeEcy.
New York, March 16.-Henry Clews
in the weekly Financial Review says:
Monetary conditions have at last
had their effect upon the stock mar
ket, and the situation is working out
it's own cure by natural and effective
means. Liquidation has been severe
and in some cases intensified by per-
sonal differences; but the declines We're
chiefly due to exhaustion of money
supplies thru the locking up of large
sums in financial operations, which
would receive scant consideration II
presented now in their original form
Although the situation has been greatly
improved by the heroic treatment OF
the last few months, and the credit
system is much stronger than a year
ago, it would be premature to assume
that the turn has come. 1t is prac-
tically certain that there will be no re-
lief for the money market until the
funds required for April settlements
find their way back again to the banks
and this is a matter of several weeks.
The west is rapidly gaining in its
power over the money market, and
this year its regular requirements are
unusually heavy owing to the large
volume Of business. A great land
speculation is in progress in the west
and very large numbers of settlers have
taken up new properties on which
large payments must be made April LIST,
according to custom. 1t is quite pos
sible, therefore, that the return move
ment of currency may not be only back
ward but smaller than usual; thus pre-
venting low rates of interest here for
some little time ahead.
A good deal of unnecessary concern
has been excited by the prospective
payment OF $40O00,000 to France for
the Panama canal. In all probability
payment will not be made before mid
summer and the full amount, including
the $10,000,O00 to Colombia, will most
likely be paid out of the treasury with
out touching the government deposits
held by the banks.

70 AMEND TIE TREATY
Democratic Senators Caucus
and Decide on a Course of
Procedure
WILL OFFER TWO AMENDMENTS
All Members of the Caucus Will Sup
port These Changes, But They Will
Be Free to Vote as They Please on
Question of Ratifyins the Treaty
Finally.

Washington, March 16.-The demo-
cratic senator's at the caucus today
resolved to stand together in the SEN
ate in support of two amendments to
the Panama canal treaty. One Of these
provides for the modification OF the
23rd article, so as to insure control of
the canal zone by the United States
and the other enlarges the provision
of the fourth article, with a disavowal
of any intention on the part of the
United States ito increase it's territory
at the expense Of Colombia or sister
republics in Central or South Amer
lea" so as to include Mexico. Before
the senate went into executive session
today, Levy Ankeny, OF Washington,
was sworn in.
All the democratic senator's, except
Clarke, Arkansas. and Gibson, were
present. 1t is the understanding that
all the democrats will support the two
amendments agreed upon, but that af-
ter they are acted upon, all individuals
shall be at liberty to vote for or
against the treaty as they may elect.
1t is also the understanding that some
democratic senators will support some
of Morgan's individual amendments,
but that they will do as individuals
and not as members of the demo-
cratic caucus. The democratic sem
ators who participated in the caucus
say that whether amended or not, the
treaty is sure of ratification.
Pettus offered the first amendment
10 the treaty. 1t provided that it should
not go into effect until approved by
congress and was voted down by a large
majority.

TO CURE TYPHOID.
An Eminent English Physician Has
Discovered a Serum

London, March 16.-Lord Lister has
communicated to the Royal Society of
paper by DIR. Allan MacFadyn, di-
rector of the Jennor institute of pre-
veltitive medicine, setting forth an eff
cient prophylactic and curative treat
ment for typhoid fever.
Dr. MacFadyn found that by crush
Ing the microscopic cells of the typhoid
bacillus in liquid air the inter-cellular
juices can be obtained apart from their
living organism and that these juices
are highly toxic. BY injecting them in
small, repeated doses into living
animal its blood serum is rendered
powerfully anti-toxic bacteriocidal,
that is to say, 1T becomes hostile to
living typhoid bacteria and to the poi
son therefrom.
Dr. MacFadyn explains the applica-
tion of the serum to animals and details
his various experiments, which showed
that the serum is a curative of typhoid
as well as protective against infec-
ton.
1t may be contended that that is true
in the case of one pathogenetic bacter-
ium is also true in others. but DR.. Mac
Fadyn is not satisfied to accept this
hypothesis without experimental veri-
fication, and the Jenner Institute is now
investigating the juices Of other bac-
terra.
If the experiments prove, as may be
expected, that bacterial juices in gem
erai react upon the animal organism
in the same way as the living bacteria
which produces them the fact must
profoundly influence medical specula-
ton and practice.
Regarding the crushing of bacteria
the question naturally arises, by what
unimaginable accuracy of grinding can
these infinitesimal organisms be brok
en- SO as to release the inter-cellular
toxins. The answer that the crushing
is done in liquid air does not explain
the whole of the marvel, for it is known

MONTANA HAS AN EARTHQUAKE
Two Distinct Shocks Occur and Panic
ofEear Is Caused

Helena, Mont, March 16.-Shortly be-
fore II o'clock yesterday morning seis-
mic disturbances were felt throughout
the mountainous region of Montana.
There was two district shocks lasting
full fifteen seconds. The vibrations
We're from southeast to northwest. Be-
yond shaking dishes from shelves, stop
ping clocks and breaking nantes in gas
burners little damage was done.
At Canton Ferry, twelve miles east of
Helena on the Missouri river, people
ran from their houses in a panic of fear.
The waters of the river became quite
turbulent, but no actual damage was
done save for the breaking of dishes.
This is the third earthquake expert
enced in Montana within ten years,
but was considerably milder than the
last one, five years ago which distorted
chimneys and broke windows.

NO STRIKE ORDERED

Grand Master Morrissey Denies Rumor
In Regard to Strke OF the Alton
Trainmen.
st. Louis, March 16.-P. Fl. Morrissey
grand master of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen, when shown dis
patch from Chicago stating the train
men of the Chicago & Alton road had
decided to strike unless their demand
for an increase in wages was agreed to
by officials of the road, said there was
not a word of truth in it. Morrissey
further said:
"There has been no proposition to
strike submitted to the employees of tlls
system and there can be no strike un-
less the employees authorize 1t by two
thirds vote. A committee representing
the conductors and trainmen are con-
ferring with the general officers OF the
railroad company as to the rules and
wages governing their employment and
there is every reason to believe they
will reach an amicable agreement. The
fact that an officer of each organization
conferred with the committees in Chi
cago had no particular significance.
These officers We're brought from st.
Louis to ST. Paul and incidentally met
the Alton committee in Chicago yester-
day, as they may have met committees
Of other lines"

Philadelphia, March 16.-Two recent

authorities with statement of some
sort is admitted. This is believed to be
list of his testimonials" and ram
bling story of his career in the practice
of "voodooism" and herb treatment.
The two bodies that are to be taken
up now are those of men whose wives
have been fully identified as patrons OF
"Dr. ."Hoossey. The attending physician
in each of these of these cases has GER
titled to the authorities that, while the
patient died of the heart lesion specified
in the death certificate. such a condi-
ton may readily have been brought
about by arsenical poisoning Heavy
insurance was collected in each of these
cases.
In the coroners office there is an
accumulation of letters, some of them
anonymous, calling attention to deaths
about which there was not even the
slightest cause of suspicion at the time
they occurred
Some of these old cases have been reg
called, and the physicians frankly admit
the possibility, If not the probability OF
arsenical poisoning. number of these
cases have already been brought to the
attention of the authorities, and it is
expected others will be developed before

FAKE FOOT RACE
Council Bluffs Sports Said to Have
Lost Thousands of Dollars in Con-
fidenee Game at Webb City.

| fidence Came at Webb City.
Council Bluffs, March 16.-The SEN
sational case of the state of lowe
against Leon Loser and Edward Moore
| to defraud was called for trial in the
district court yesterday. Loser and
Moore are charged with being the prime
movers in one of the greatest confidence
schemes which has ever been worked
in the central west. 1t is alleged that
,,sny rerfesertiTI that Loaer was to be
the sure winner in a race in Webb City
between himself and one Grimm, a
number of sporting men of the city
We're urged to place money on the
race.
A number Of the Council Bluffs men
went down at different times, and it is
claimed that at one time there was as
much as $4,000 lost by local sports
men. Former Supervisor John Black
of Griswold was influenced into the
scheme, and it is stated that he is the
|only man who ever got his money back
from the so-called syndicate.
Further investigation has proved that
the Webb City gang was made up of
most of the business men of the town,
Including the bank, nearly all of the
attorneys and other professional men.
An unveiling of the workings of the
syndicate in the Missouri courts showed
that during the several years that the
club had been operating that an almost
incredible sum of money had been se-
cured by tleecing unsuspecting VIC
tins.
In stating the case to the jury today
County Attorney Killpack stated that
the state would prove that Loser and
Moore We're connected with a huge
swindling scheme which was organ
lied by Missouri men, and which ex-
listed only for fraudulent purposes. He
stated that Charles Gregory and Will
liam Barker, of Council Bluffs. the
star witnesses of the state, would be
placed upon the stand to disclose the
plot which had been formed to fleece
them. He also declared that he would
have upon the stand men OF Coun-
Gil Bluffs who had been approached
by Loser and Moore and had been So
licited to go on the road and hunt
for victims such as they, Loser and
Moore, We're doing.
Ben l. Salinger, of Carroll, outlined
the defense before the jury by stating
that he would prove before the case
had been concluded that MIR. Gregory
and Mr.. Barker We're men known to be
hackers of sporting affairs, and the
former was plunger on the Chicago
derby. Attorney Salinger then stated
that Gregory and Barker actually went
into conspiracy to cheat some one
else, and that the race as run was
fair and square, and that Gregory and
Barker lost because they had bet on
the loser. Beyond the Introduction of
a short half hours testimony not much
was done beyond securing a jury at
today's session. The trial will prob
ably last all of next week.
