EngIand's New Policy.

Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's
protectionist policy is the all prevail
ing topic of discussion in London. His
masterful assertion that he will make
reciprocal trade between the mother
country and her colonies the question
of the hour has been sensationally full
filed. Columns of comment fill the af-
ternoon newspapers, and everyone is
asking: Does it mean aissolution?'
Some people maintain that the gov.
eminent contemplates appealing to the
country on preferential trade at the
close of the present session at the be-
ginning of August, while others main
tain that the government has not the
slightest intention Of giving up its un
expired term of office.

"All flood records since the year
1891, when the district was sparsely
settled, have been surpassed by the
floods of the last week in the Missouri
valley" said Alfred ]. Henry, In charge
of the forecast bureau. I'VE have
deemed 1t necessary to send out spe-
cial flood warnings as the conditions
continue very dangerous. The danger
line at Kansas City, for instance, Is
81 feet, and today a stage of 27.5 feet
was reported. This means an alarming
situation SO far as property is concern
ed, but the people have sufficiently
been warned so that there should not
be further loss of life. The stage OF
so feet has been predicted for st.
Louis, where the danger line is ~
feet"

REJECT CANAL TREATY.
Columbian Congress Certain to OBJ
iect,


ject.
News has been published that the
new Colombian congress is almost Ger
tain to reject the Panama canal treaty
Those on the inside are not surprised
for evidence has been Forthcoming
which goes to show that the old French
Panama Canal company and certain
people in Colombia have entered into
conspiracy to get $20,0OO,OOO more
out of the United States. With this
end in view they have aroused hostil-
ity against those Colombian officials
who signed the treaty, and compelled
several of them to resign, and seem to
have succeeded in electing congress
that will reject the treaty If a larger
payment is not made.
The rejection of the treaty may
prove a disappointment, but 1t should
not be allowed to take the form of In
timidation. This country has already
made a handsome offer. The agree
ment to pay the Frenchmen $4,000, 900
for works that are of doubtful value,
and to pay the Colombians $250,000
a year for what will actually be ben
eft to their country, is in itself an
enormous outlay, and would never
have received the support Of congress
had it not been for the overwhelming
popular demand for immediate con-
struction of the canal.
To submit to farther extortion is out
of the question. 1t is not absolutely
necessary to acquire the rights by way
of Panama, route which many emil
nent engineers still hold to be unde-
sirable. By the terms of the Spooner
act, unless the administration succeeds
in negotiating satisfactory treaty"
with Colombia and within a "reasona-
BILE time" the president is authorized
to drop the Panama route and dig the
Nicaragua canal. If the Colomblans
are determined to get gay" it will be
easy for the executive to exercise the
power and discretion that has been
given him.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 13.-The steamer
William S. Mack got in from Chicago at
2 o'clock this morning with a crew Of
gangs of union men in boats and they
swarmed over the rail. When the Mack
reached her dock at the foot of Erie street
ID gang of union men overpowered the
non union flremen and took them to the
union office on Main street. Captain Hol-
lisingshead complained to the police and
the union office was raided. Four of the
kidnapped men were rescued, but one of
them had been terribly beaten. One of
them is missing and the police do not
know where he is.
Later.-Four non-union firemen were
returned to the boat by the police to-day
Frank Blair, fireman reported missing,
was found to-day, having hid in the coal
bunkers Of the vessel. The names of the
firemen have not been learned. No arrests
have been made.
The Mack had just passed the break
water when union men in small boats
were beside her. They climbed the fen
ders before the boat got in the Buffalo
river and dmanded that the non-union
flremen be turned over to them. Captain
Hollingshead said the non-union firernen
were under his protection and that they
would not be taken from the boat Before
the Mack had been tied, about forty union

This quarantine system is used on the
theory that fomites, the great medical
what is it, for the mysterious something
that is at the root Of yellow fever, can
be carried in the clothing and transmitted
by contact or the use even of an utensil
previously handled by an affected person.
Dr. Lindsey AYERS that by the. mosquito
only can the disease be transmitted and
he has such able authorities as Colonel
VaIery Harvard of the United States
army and Doctors Reed, sCarrow and
Agramonti, Of tn commission appointed
by the government Ito back him. All the
mosquitoes a ship can carry can be
killed in six hours and the passengers
could then go free. The marine hospital
has indorsed his theory but does not act
upon it because it is not understood
thruout the gulf states. >
In proof Of his assertion the doctor
points to Havana. In 1890 there were
1880 cases Of yellow fever the following
year the mosquito theory was adopted
and patients kept from the possibility OF
a. mosquito bite. In three months there
was not a case on the island. The fol-
lowing year there were thirteen, all
brought from Vera Cruz, but during that
year and since then, not one case has
originated on the island. r%-. :. l.sz,- .s,2
The doctor is in America expressly to
urge upon the people the necessity OF
adopting the new system of quarantine.
With the opening Of the Panama canal
it will mean an enormous difference to
Illinois and all the states of the Missis-
sippi valley, in a financial way, whether
the commerce of the south comes into the
gulf ports or foes to New York. 49, -

ST. Louis, April 13.-The investigation
of charges of boodling made in connec

the state legislature is being carried on
to-day by grand juries in session in st.
Louis and Jefferson City. Circuit Attor-
ney Joseph W. Folk, under whose direc-

important information it is believed, that
will be made use of before the Jefferson

Mr.. Folk and attorney General E. G.
Crow who is taking care Of the Jefferson

BEFORE THE TROJAN WAR
Mighty Civilizations That Existed
Before the Incas-Dr. Uhles =,
Discoveries.


San Francisco, April 1s.-The earliest
American civilization far antedating the
generally accepted limits Of pre-Colum-
bian culture, have been traced in Peru
by Dr. Max Uhle, director Of the an
thropoligical excavations and explorations
Of the University Of California. In that
country heretofore, Inca tradition had led
scientists to believe that the Peruvian
civilization existed only a few centuries
before the coming of the Spaniards. The
archaeological work, of DR.. Uhle has estab
lished the fact thata great civ liza tion
flourished 2,000 years earIiersat sta1esfezst;
and that "a cultured race of higher de-
velopment than the Incas was in existence
before the Trojan war.
This remarkable discovery follows as a
result Of the study made in the two ex
peditions which DR.. Uhle led in recent
years at the expense of Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst and under the auspices Of the Uni
versity of California.
