ton, Senator Simmons, a Demo
Graf from North Carlina, says IF
the Democratic party be instru-
mental in bringing about the de-
feat of the treaty, the American
people will hold the party respon-
sible therefor and might soon for
get the conduct of the President"
This is but one of many expressions
of opinion by Democratic Senators,
which makes the Republicans GER
tain that the treaty will be ratified.
In renouncing their opposition to
the treaty, the minority Senators
have been described as deserving a
sinking ship, and politicians are
now asking what will be the effect
of Senator Germans blunder in
starting his party on a course
from which they were turned by
the instruction of their state legis-
latures or by demands of the Demo-
cratic governors and the party
press. The Maryland Senator has
led his party into mistake and
has injured if not destroyed, his
chances of the Democratic nomina-
ton; at least that is the general
opinion. 1t is significant that
Leader Murphy of Tammany Hall,
whose motto is success, and who
judges men merely by their vote
getting ability, has given out a
partial endorsement of William
Randolph Hearst as the next can
didate, although until recently the
Tammany leader was very friendly
with Senator German. Represen-
tative Cooper, of Texas, who de-
clared that German in "slick po-
litician. but that this reputation
is not popular with the people, says
that Hearst will get the nomina-
ton and that German will manage
the campaign. 1t is thought by
many that Germans mistake on
the canal question will rob him
even ofhis title of slick politici-
on" The next Democratic caucus
where the canal question will be
discussed will be stormy one may
result in Leader Gorman's practi-
cal downfall. Senator Morgan
will speak against the canal and
it is believed that he will occupy
much of Senate's time but little OF
its attention. If the Democrats
insist upon delivering campaign
speeches in the Senate the Repub-
liCan ajority will have the treaty
considered in executive session.

SMALLPOX DIMINISHING.
Many Who Have Been iii Recovering.
But Two New Cases Last Week

But Two New Gases Last Week.
While the smallpox situation in
Oakland and vicinity has been of
nature tending 70 frighten timid
people and give rise to many I'M
founded reports which gained Gre
dence by these reports being pub
lished in one of our local contem-
poraries, the facts remain that the
disease has not gained the upper
hand by any means and that it is
we'll under control of the physi-
clans and local board of health.
During the past week but two
new cases have developed, one in
a family, that of Michael Rice,
which was already i. fected, and
the other patient being Gus De-
lawder, son of John A. Delawder,
Esq, who contracted the disease
by coming in contact with the
family of A. J. Harne, Esq. where
two cases developed before being
reported to the physicians.
No deaths have resulted within
the past ten days and the outlook
is now brighter for final stamping
out of the disease than it has been
at any time since its introduction
into the town and community.
Those affected are all recovering
rapidly.
At Loeb Lynn heights no new
cases have been reported for two
weeks or more. Out from that
point about two miles two more
members of the family of Richard
Reams have been taken i'll, but the
cases are light.
West of Oakland along the line
of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail.
road the situation is becoming
quite alarming, especially in Pres
ton county, w. Va, where the
! disease has gained such headway
as to almos: battle the physicians
in checking it.
A report from Terra Alta state:
that one case has developed in thai
town, but how true this is cannot
be learned. At Rowlesburg there
are several cases and at Tunneltor
ten cases have been reported. From
Newburg comes the report thai
eleven cases are now being treated
by the health officers and at Aus
ten, mining town few miles
east of Newburg four cases arr
reported.
The health board of Prestor
county held meeting Tuesday
when steps were taken to check
the disease by appointing physi
clans to look after the cases and tc
establish quarantine regulations
wherever necessary.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionisth emod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

bia s determination at attack Pana-
ma will involve her in a conflict
with the United States. Gen. Rey-
es, who is still in Washington, re-
cognizes the danger of this and
continues to cable his countrymen
to be patient, and not to forget that
war with Panama means war with
the only world power of the Wes-
tern Hampshire He has handed
Secretary Hay a note of protest
against the United States recog-
milton of Panama, and is awaiting
a reply before returning to Colum-
bia to take command of the army
and charge of the government. No
doubt the General will try to fight
if his countrymen insist, but see.
ing the uselessness of such a strug-
gle, he intends to do his utmost to
prevent it.
To answer the criticism of the
Democrats that the ratification of
the canal treaty by the Panama
Junta was not equivalent to its &C
ceptauce by representative men on
the Isthmus, Minister Bunau-Va-
rilla brought to the State Depart
ment official notice that the act of
the Junta has been formally approx
ed blythe municipal councils of the
twelve principal provinces Of the
Republic.
Admiral John G. Walker has
returned from the Isthmus and
handed satisfactory report to the
President, He says that the health
of the marines on the Isthmus is
good. and there are now plenty Of
them to protect Panama, that their
presence is desired by the inhabi-
tants and that it is not advisable to
send regular troops, as this action
might cause uneasiness. Minister
w. l. Buchanan is at Panama, and
was accorded a magnificent recep-
ton at the government palace.
All the ministers, members of the
lnnta and prominent foreigners
were present. The new American
Minister was escorted by body
Of troops and given a guard of
honor. He has presented his Gre
dentials and complete diplomatic
relations with the new Republic
are thus established Great Brit
ain and Cuba have recognized
Panama.
The administration is prepared
for any emergency on the Istkmus.
More marines are being sent and
several transport ships are ready to
hurry troops to the scene in case
of trouble. If there must be war
it is thought that the most humane
way would be to end it at once
| and in Sl1Ch a manner at If would
not occur again. Columbia would
be defeated quickly and would per-
haps become American territory.

Sia's Answer in Two Days.

Paris Jan. 22-Intormation reaching tho
shows a definite Improvement in the
Russia-Japanese situation. The answer
of Russia has not yet been sent but It
will be despatched within the next two
days
The question of the limitation OF japanese
settlements in Manchuria has been one
OF the most difficult under consideration.
The Russian view as made known here
is that the real issue is the maintenance
OF white supremacy i'm northern Asia.
The question is compared with that OF
California during the Chinese invasion,
compelling the the United States TO eX-
clude the Chinese.
Owing TO the importance attached
TO this branch OF the controversy the
Russian officials have taken steps to Sc
cure copy OF tho laws. restricting Mon
golians from entering Australia. IL is
maintained that Russia's inslstence that
reasonable limits be placed on the es-
tablishment. Japanese settlements In
Manchuria has the same end as the
American and British laws in protecting
the commerce and labor OF whites from
the Mongolians.
II appears that Russia is chiefly ap-
prehensive of the springing UP Of large
japanese settlements and villages along
the lines of the Russian railroad and
other centres OF Russian improvements
and development as IL is held that such
Japanese influx will practically nullify
Russia's privileged position in Manchu-
ria which Japan has been willing TO rec
ognize.

by local men have been killed by the at
tending veterinary, each animal having an
attack OF the glanders disease feared by
all the owners OF horses. How the AMI
mails contracted tho disease can not be
said, but It is quite probable that they
contracted Il from different sources as
the owners do not live near each other
and the horses have not been together
The veterinary when called found the
cases TO be too far advanced to attempt
to cure and he at once decided that
the only course TO pursue was TO Kill the
animals which was accordingly done.
There Is no fear OF a contagion, however
