While the early tales of the Thun-
der Mountain country may have been
marked by exsggeration, the new dis.
trict has done as we'll as could have
been expected under the circum.
stances. 1t is now generally agreed
that permanent bodies of ore exist
and extensive development Is only a
question OF time. The inaccessi bill.
ity of the district has been one of
the greatest drawbacks. 1t is din
cult for people to get into 1t, AMI
the transportation Of supplies and
machinery Is laborious and expansive.
Considering the obstacles encoun
tered because Of its remoteness, the
progress made In the last two years
is decidedly creditable to those who
have been identified with the devel.
opment Of the camp.

IRISH PARTY is SPLIT.
Dillon and Redmond Will secede
From Redmond.

London, Nov. 22.-The Irish Ma
tionalist party is on the verge of
serious split. Unless some amicable
arrangement can quickly be arrived
at Messrs. Dillon and Sexton, with
their personal following, will secede
from the leadership of John Red
mond. In this event Mr.. Redmond
will have the aggressive support of
William O'Brien, over whom dis
pute has arisen. In recent speeches
in Ireland Mr.. Redmond is held to
have sided with Mr.. O'Brien regard
ing the differences of opinion which
have long existed between Mr..
O'Brien and the Dillon-Sexton-Davitt
faction. 1t is stated on good author
ity that Mr.. Redmond had been told
that unless he withdraws his support
from O'Brien secession will result.
No definite conclusion has been
reached, but it is understood Mr..
Redmond prefers to throw in his lot
with O'Brien. In the event OF Athe
breach becoming definite it is thought
that the party will be evenly divided.
O'Brien's tremendous popularity in
the south is Offset by Sections pow
erfuI organ, the Freeman's journal,
and the more radical following OF
Messrs. Davitt and Dillon. Such
division probably would leave the fol-
lowers of Mr. Healy with what might
become the balance of power, and
this, according to the present indica-
tions, would be thrown in favor OF
Messrs Redmond and O'Brien.
The present internal crisis is the
result of the gradually increasing dis
agreement over the action instigated
by O'Brien and carried out by Mr.
Redmond in their famous land pur-
chase conference with the Irish land

Chinese Minister Wants to Apply Sec
refary Hays Policy.
SOVEREIGNTY OVER MANCHURlA.
The Minister Belongs to the Liberal,
Progressive Element and Has Al
ready Addressed a Memorial to the
Throne Regarding the Future
Questions That May Arise.

Paris, Nov. 22.-The Chinese min
lister in Paris, Souen Pao XII, has
come out as an advocate of applying
Secretary Hays "open door" policy
to Manchuria. The minister belongs
to the liberal, progressive element,
and has recently addressed a me-
mortal to the throne, urging the grav-
ity Of the questions which will arise
when the present war ends, particu-
larly the maintenance of China's
sovereignty over Manchuria. In the
course of an interview today the min
lister said:
Whether Russia or Japan is vic
torious it will be essential that the
thority over Manchuria. 1t will be
natural for the victor to expect spe-
cial privileges within the territory
forming the theater of war, but
China's rights in Manchuria being
unquestionable neither beiligerent
can claim privileges growing out of
coming to fight upon our territory.
If any single power gains special
privileges in Manchuria it will oper-
powers. Therefore, it is to the in
terest of the world at large to fore
see the conclusion of the war and
guard against either Of the powers
obtaining a privileged position in
Manchuria. The court at Pekin is
now considering certain measures for
reform and it is quite possible that
one Of the chief results will be the
extension OF the open policy to Man
churia and certain other parts of
the empire which thus far have been
outside the range of the open door.
THE Russian embassy has tempo
rarily assumed the aspect of a hos
pital, owing to the arrival there Of a
number of survivors of the battle of
Chemulpo. Some have lost arms or
legs, 'but all are in an advanced stage
of recovery. The wounded are pro-
ceeding by easy stages to st. Peters

DERUNA is known from the Atlantic
1 to the Pacific. Letters of congrat-
ulation and commendation testify
ing to the merits of Peruna as catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
of the Union.
DR.. Hartman is receiving hundreds
of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor 1aborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-an agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage~and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise and
testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of its victims.
Psruna not only cures cafarrh, but
prevents it, Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs, colds and SO forth.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an
ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it
continually in the house.
