Exposure

To cold draughts of air, to keen and
cutting winds, sudden changes OF
temperature, scanty clothing, undue
exposure of the throat and neck
after public speaking and singing,
bring on coughs and colds. Bal

cure.

BOIL WEEviL's ENEMY.
Valuable Species of Ant Has Been
Found in Guatemala.

Washington, May 1.-THE department
of agriculture, today, announced that an
ant had been found in Guatamela that Is

by c. f. Cook. the botanist in charge of
tropical agricultural Investigations Of the
bureau of plants.
Gable Instructions have been sent to
him to report Immediately TO the depart
ment what assistance he needs in the way
Of men and money. During q trip In
covered a cotton grown by Indians which
gave evidence of being immune from the
attacks of the boil wevil, and on orders
from the department he later began an
investigation in certain points in Guafe-
mala and Mexico. Mr.. Cooks investiRa-
tons have been in more or less accessible
regions in the province of Alta Vera Paz,

The wevils are present there but the

RECOMMENDS CONSUMPTION.
Commission Reports on Volunteer
Militia in England.

London, May 27.-The report of the
royal commission on the volunteer in
militia forces practically recommends
CONSUMPTION as the only means of pro-
viding home defence army adequate
for the protection of the country in the
absence or partial absence of the regu-
lar troops.
The commissioners are of the opinion
that the principles adopted by all the
other great European states must be
largely adopted by Great Britain and
that it is the duty of every able-DoGied
citizen to be trained for national de-
fence. They point out that the necessary
training would involve period of con-
tinucus service with the cOlors. under
an instruction body of specially edu-
Gated and highly trained officers, and
they consider that one year of such
continuous training would suffice. with
a few weeks attendance at the maneu-
vers for year or two afterward.
The commissioners estimate that
such a scheme would provide about
100000 trained men annually at cost
probably less than that Of the present
militia system.

POLICE VS.. NEGROES.
Warm Clash at New York
Early Friday.
RevoIvers Fired, Razors Drawn and
Bricks Were Thrown.
Shooting of One Offender and a Wo.
man Spectator.

New York. May 27-In a clash be-
tween the police and a crowd of ne

tator who sat in a window was struck
by stray bullet ra2ors were dra wn.
and bricks We're thrown and revolvd.s
fired by an angry crowd of men who
perched on roofs or in the windows OF
houses adjoining the scene of th.
trouble. None of the injured was ia
tally hurt.
The trouble began when a policeman
attempted to dispense a crowd of 90
negroes who We're creating a distur-
bance in front Of a dance hall. Two
OF the men refused to obey the order
to move on, and while one of the me-
GrOeS held the policeman's arms, the
other beat him over the head with 4
night stick
In the fight which followed, raZors
were drawn and before the policeman
succeeded in freeing himself, his uni
form had been badly slashed. When
the officer finally broke loose and drew
his revolver, several of the negroes
had mounted to roof tops and had
taken up positions in windows. whence
they fired numerous shots and hurled
bricks into the street. BY this time
several other policemen had taken a
hand in the trouble.
Z The entire neighborhoOd was
aroused, windows were flung up and
men, women and children in night
clothing watched the sight. One of the
women was struck by a stray bullet
but was not badly hurt. 1t was not
until after the officers had gone through
all the buildings in the neighborhood
and routed out the belligerents that a
semblance of order was restored. Only
one arrest was made.

dat by our own authority. for that
role belongs to the Chambers.
Some speakers urge us to denounce
the concordat without delay, but such
a serious step should be preceded by
measures guaranteeing the Republican
state against the political risks which
would be entailed by such a radical
change in its legislation and habits"
Premier CombeS went on to say that
several schemes for ending the con-
cordat were under consideration i'm
committee and it only remained for the
Chamber to have the question brought
up for consideration Immediately after
the passage of the budget, next Janu-
airy.
Foreign Minister Delcasse in his
speech, retraced the history of the
question from the spring Of 1903, when
the Papal Nuncio asked questions CON
corning the eVentuality OF President
LOubet's visiting Rome. to which M.
Delcasse replied that he could not fur
nsh the information.
Coming to the Immediate cause of the
rupture, he said that a Partisan paper
published the text of the Papal note as
addressed to other governments which
was couched in terms OF remonstrance
which the French government could
not accept. The governments duty
was clear as soon as the authenticity of
the document had been proved.
Three courses were open-to grant
the ambassador leave. to recall him or
to suppress the embassy. The first
seemed inadequate, the third was ex-
cessive and SO the government decided
on the second. N. NIaard was instruct
ed if he found the note to be authentic
or if an explanation regarding it should
be refused, he was to quit Rome imme-
diateiy. The ambassador notified the
foreign Office that the Papal secretary
of state said he wanted the question
put in writing and that he would an
swer it in writing. Meanwhile M. Del
casse having obtained proof of the au-
thenticity of the note, telegraphed the
ambassador that the secretary of states
attitude was equivalent to a refusal of
the desired explanation and that there
fore M. Nisard must consider himself
recalled.
1.-The government did what the digni-
ty Of the country required and with
the necessary promptitude. said M.
Delcasse, and we have right of opinion
of the whole world on our side"
