Rome, Dec. 19.-The agreement reached be-
tween Governor Taft and Archbishop Guidi in
regard to the purchase of the lands of the
friars in the Philippines has increased the
probabilities that Archbishop Ireland will be
made cardinal. His friends here wish to re-
mind the Pope that Leo promised to reward
Archbishop Ireland with the red hat after q
settlement Of the Philippine question. The car
dinals belonging to the religious orders, how
ever. besides the Spanish cardinals, are not sat
isfied with the agreement and are more than
ever determined to oppose the nomination of
Archbishop Ireland. whom they consider to be
chiefly responsible for what appears to them
their defeat. 1t is reported that Cardinals Mar
tinelli and Wives Tuto will be charged by the
others to speak the subject to the Pope.

SAN FRANCISCO'S CHINATOWN.
A Demand Locally Made That 1t Be
Speedily Obliterated.

40 matter what view may be enter
tanned by vast ma jority Of the people
Of San Francisco respecting the nom
existence of the highly infectious dis
ease known as bubonic plague, they
will unite with the mercantile joint
committee of the commercial OrganiZa-
lions of the city in their movement to
get rid of the Chinese quarter. 1t has
long since been recognized by those
who have kept track of the assaults on
the sanitary reputation of the city that
nothing short Of the removal of China
town will disarm outside criticism
There is an impression, not borne out
by the facts. however that Chinatown
is in an extremely unsanitary condi-
ton, and it will constantly be drawn
upon by those who seek support for
their efforts to cripple the commerce of
the city by establishing a quarantine
against it.
There is no use blinking at the stu
alton. The people of San Francisco
might as well do so they will soon
realize that unless they get rid of the
Chinatown nuisance they will be
called upon to pay an endless bill of
expense. It's existence will form an
excuse for a neVerending demand will
be paid to the evidence which the
morality records furnish. Chinatown
may continue in the future. as it has in
the past, TO be as absolutely free from
epideulics and infectious diseases as
any other part of the city, but that will
not help the trouble. A bad name has
been fastened upon the quarter from
Which nothing will free it but oblitera-
;iCn.
1t is possible that some better plan of
dealing with the matter than convert

stands into q park may present itself
when the matter is fully considered. 1t
is 4 section of the city that may be
made valuable for commercial pur-
poses. and some methods of utilizing
it may be found which will not be so
costly as it would be to carry out the

there is not only a high school team,

TAKEN IN BATTLE
The Thrilling Experience Of Captain
Westbrook.
For Year After rms Capture He Was
Moved From One Prison to Another
And Was Finally Exchanged.

Confederate force under command
of BriGadier- General John A. McAus-
land had attacked, on July 80, 1864, a
blockhouse ten miles west of Martins
burg, w. Va. Captain N. S. Westbrook
with the remnants of Companies Il and
f of the l35th Ohio Volunteers, made a
gallant defense but when a six-gun
battery was brought to bear upon his
position, further resistance became a
useless sacrifice of life. For a year
after his surrender, Captain West
brook who now lives at Ripley H.,
was confined in Southern prisons. In
telling his experience, he says:
"They took me from one place to
another till | had been in nearly all the
prisons of the ConfederaCy and, by the
time l was exchanged at Annapolis in
the spring of 1865, l was reduced to a
physical wreck. The exposure caused
sciatic rheumatism which became
chronic and did not leave me until
thirty years afterward when I took Dr..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and was cured.
THE disease affected my entire sys
tenn. In addition to the agonies of the
rheumatism L had Indigestion in its
worst form, together with kidney
trouble and heart failure. l was get
ting thoroughly used up"
How did you come to take DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills?" was asked.
"a neighbor of mine, James M.
Stout, was cured of rheumatism by this
remedy when he was so bao that he
could not straighten up. So I thought
what cured him would cure me. And
l was right
rheumatism is a disease of the
blood. External applications may af-
ford temporary relief but to cure the
disease it is necessary to treat it
through the blood. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People go directly to the
seat of the disorder purifying and en-
richng the blood by eliminating poi
sonous elements and renewing health

specific not only for rheumatism, but

a New Monroe Doctrine.

The Boston Advertiser discovers in
a recent declaration by the British
government, policy which is a strik-
ing parallel to our own Monroe doe
trine. 1t is plain that Great Britain,
which once looked sour!y on the Mon
roe doctrine, now thinks so well q the
idea that she has taken pattern by it.
In the House of Lords, the foreign sec
rotary. Lord Lansdewne, said this
weekc Il say without hesitation, that
we should regard che establishment of
a naval base or "a Fortified fort in the
Persian Gulf by any other power as
a very grave menace to British inter-
ests, and we should certainly resist it
with an tie means at our disposal"
This means that Great Britain says
"hands, Off" to everybody in southern
Asia, just as. the United States warns
everybody away, from the CONQUEST of
South America. ne Persian Gulf lies
too close to India for any other Euro
pean power to be allowed to hold it,
fortified. The British navy has
policed that gulf for almost as long as
India has been held. For another
power to put up an impregnable fort at
the entrance to that gulf and then to
keep a navy inside. would be a stand
ing threat that some day the capture of
India would be tried.
Italy and Germany have taken land
about as near to the Suez route as the
Gulf of Persia is; but Erythrea and
German East Africa are too far away
from India to be much of a threat; and
besides, British East Africa lies so near
that Great Britain can easily look out
for that part of the world. The rea-
son the new Monroe doctrine, given
out by Lord LansdowEe, has been laid
down is that the Persian Gulf, if for
titled at its entrance by Russia, would
hold the biggest navy of the world
comfortably and safely. The navy
would be just where it could sweep the
Indian coast. the moment anything
happened to weaken the British de-
fence.
The British navy cannot be kept off
the Indian coast all the time. 1t is
needed in other parts of the world. So,
Great Britain finds it more economi-
cal to borrow the American idea. The
gulf" says Britannia, must never be
taken by any other power. We shall
not touch it. Nobody else shall. To
break this rule means war. Take
warning" Substitute the territory OF
Persia and the Arabian peninsula for
South America, and it is simply a new
phrasing of the Monroe doctrine. The
republic of the new world has given
a new principle of international law to
the old.
