Death Of Or. c. v. BedeII.

DR.. Charles V. Bedell died at his
home in this city Friday night at
eleven o'clock, from cancer of the
descending colon, with which he had
been afflicted for little over a year
The first symptoms Of this dread
disease developed the early part Of
last year, and in March DR.. Bedell
went to Omaha and placed himself
in the bands OF DR.. Allison, who
made an incision, fully satisfied him
self as to the trouble, but did not
perform an operation, as he consid-
cred the case hopeless one. He
recommended however, that the
Doctor be taken to Chicago and
placed under the treatment Of spec-
iulists. This advice was followed,
and for about eight months the pa
tient received the attention of the
most skillful physicians of that city
who operated upon him, aud gave
him every known mode Of treatment
but the disease was most stubborn

it out. The physicians struggle for
mastery was abandoned last Novem
ber, he was brought home and last
Friday night death came to his re

in that one year DR.. Bedell suffered

tending him realized; and yet

It ia said that n great deal of Wor


1t is said that great deal of work
not directly connected with the ca
special attention will be given to the
subject of sanitation. The import
ance of proper sanitation can hardly
be over estimated in view of the close
relation it will have to the healthful
ness of the thousands of men who
will be employed, and also its con
nection with the possible conveyance
of tropical diseases to American
ports.
The climatic conditions of the is
thmus expose all who work there to
great danger, not excepting negroes
and the natives of the country, who
are far better able to endure the
trials of tropical climate than men
of the white lace who are not accli-
mated. Unless drainage and other
sanitary matters are carefully and
thoroughly attended to there will be
danger that diseases incident to the
tropics will appear in the camps OF
the workers and cause an enormous
loss of life. Not only would this
add greatly to the cost Of the work
aud the difficulty of securing labor
ere, but it would reflect upon the
conduct of the government in deal
ing with so important matter.
The success which attended the
effort of the American authorities in
Cuba to establish sanitary conditions
in Havana and Santiago leaves little
room to question that the problem
of sanitation on the isthmus can be
solved. 1t will no doubt call for the
expenditure of a large amount of
money, but however { eat this ex-
penditure may be it will be small in
comparison with the whole cost OF
the enterprise. Furthermore, every
dollar expended in securing better
tsanitary conditions will be saved in
the reduced cost of the work in
other particulars.
As soon as the United States en-
tors upon the construction of the
canal the world will accept it as an
assurance that the completion of the
enterprise will follow as soon as it
may be practicable to achieve so gi
gantic an undertaking. 1t will re-
move all doubt about the ultimate
construction of the canal, a matter
which thus far has always been as
sociated with some doubt, notwith
standing the enormous expenditure
of the French company and all the
talk that has been indulged in con
cerning the proposed Nicaragua canal

CONSUL INVADE

Implicated in immigration Scandal
at Canton, China
FnE CHARGES ARE SUSTAINED

Oyster Bay, l.. L.. Sept. 15.-Robert
M. McWade. United States consul gen.
erai at Canton. China, was removed
from Office by President Roosevelt.
Charges made against him recently
were investigated by Assistant Secre-
tary Peirce, who went to the Orient to
make an investigation of several of
the United States consulates in China
and Japan. Secretary Peirce in his re-
port to the president strongly sustains
the charges made against Consul Gen.
eral McWade. The order for McWade's
dismissal has been sent forward.
Notice of the removal of Robert NJ.
McWade as consul general at Canton
has been expected for a long time. Be-
fore Third Assistant Secretary PIERCE
started last winter on his visit to the
Chinese consulates so many charges
had been lodged with the state depart
ment, though not generally in official
form, that the removal of the consul
general was certain IL only small por-
ton of them were established. Follow
ing the rule in such cases, the depart
ment declines to make public any state
ment as to the nature of the charges,
but they were of more or less public
knowledge. particularly in the foreign
settlement in China and Japan. The
more serious of these allegations con-
nected the consul generals name with
the improper issuance of certificates
to Chinese bound for the Philippines or
the United States. There was also talk
of excessive fees. Mr.. McWade was one
