Washington, May BIN the negotia-
tons in China for a new commercial
treaty between the United States and
China. Sec. Hay has asked that -Pellin
be made an open port
This is the most important request
this government has ever presented to
China, and it is made of still more COLI
sequence by Russia's course in Man.
churia. The decision on the request
must affect Chinas future
Sec. Hay desires not only to extend
American trade but to make it more
difficult for European powers to carve
up the Chinese empire. This govern
mcnts policy has been the chief factor
in preserving China intact SO far, and
Mr.. Hays ambition is to delay as much
as possible the dismembering which he
is convinced is sure to come and then
to make the slices taken by Russia
France. Germany and England as small
as possible
Mr.. Hay believes that making Pekin
an Ocen port will do more than any
thing else China could do to delay the
partition. The United States and all
other nations would acquire interests
there which probably would prevent
any other power from Selling the inn
mcdiatcly surrounding territory.
1t would open that port of China to
western civilization, but therein lies
the chief danger that the request will
be refused The conservative Chinese
it is feared. will be solidly against it,
and they are in the majority in the
grand council. Yet the progressive
Chinese who would favor the. opening
of Pekin are also aggressive and Mr..
Hay depends on thir influence.
Russian influence will prevent the
opening of the ports of Mukden and
Takushan, in Manchuria, also asked
for by Mr.. Hay, but the opening Of Pc
kin would more than offset that loss in
the commercial way.

People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that afflict
Humanity and undermine the constitu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
OF polluted condition of this vital fluid.
p When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full of
pimples and splotches. Itching, scaly
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying prSper nourish-
ment to the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluggish, impure blood than any other
cause. To build up the blood, restore

Story of the Incident as
Related by Assistant
Chief Shinnock.
F|REMEN ESCAP Ed
One of the Most Remark
able Cases in History
of the City.

Lives were endangered and one of the
department horees knocked from his feet
by a crossed wire in front OF the Arizona
street fire station last evening. For sew
eral minutes combination truck No. was
wrapped in sputtering streams of blue
flame, and only the courage of Truckman
John Sykes, who cut the wire, averted
the danger.
Shortly after II o'clock an alarm was
turned in from Box 6I. Two crossed
wires at the corner of Main street and
Park avenue caused the call The appa-
ratus turned out and started toward Main
street.
In front Of TIE station telegraph and
telephone wires, weighted with wet snow,
were sagging low. One OF these had
crossed the trolley cable, then had broken
and grounded. 1t was carrying the full 500
volts.
As the combination truck swung out for
the turn the off horse became entangled
in this wire. The shock knocked the
brute from his feet. In his struggles to
regain them he touched the wire again
and went down a second time, stunned.
The men leaped from their places and
tried to help him.
incy were pfdCtically nelpiesS, 1or no
one could touch the wire, which was jet
ting out smoke and fire at a rate that
lit up the entire street in blue glare.
Sykes at this juncture leaped from the
hook and ladder truck. Getting a pair of
nippers, he cut off the current.
One horse was so badly stunned for
short time that the team was unable TO
go to the box from which the alarm was
turned in. This morning, however, he
was fit for service again.
Those on the truck at the time Of the
accident were: Assistant Chief Jerry
Shinnock, Captain Charles Holden, Mort
Griffiths, NJ. Kelly, Pat Cleary and James
Dennison. That some Of the men did not
get the force of the current in their ef-
forts to free the horse is regarded as lit
tie short of a miracle.
II thought for the time that we were
going to lose the horse said Assistant
Chief Shinnock this morning. "The ami
NAL was knocked down and stunned. And
horse is not able TO stand much of
shock. AS a rule we have to respond TO
number Of alarms any night like last
evening. This was the heaviest snow that
! have seen in Butte. 1t clung to every
thing, and It is strange there were not
more crossed wires"
