London. Jan. l6.--In the opinion of
the British government the end of this
week does not mark any ehangss in the
far eastern crisis which more than
ever keeps diplomatic circles in Lon
don in a state of anxiety Latest, and,
if it had been true, most serious state

risk sending her Black sea fleet
through the dardanell and received to.
day positive denial, from the foreign
office The excessive apprehension
prevailing in best informed quarters.
here that Russia's answer to Japan
will precipitate war, is based more
IN the attitude Russia has taken, than
upon previous phases of the contro
versity. Not even the cars pacific
utterances, however, can dispell the
fear which prevades British officials
that Russia will not give in.

BY Associated Press.


Chicago. Jan. l6.-The Chicago Med
ical Society of the Illinois state medi
cal association will, it is expected
begin legal proceedings against the
anti-Toxin trust under the antitrust
law
Secretary Pritchart of the health de,
partment said today that he had been
Informed to the effect.
The official statement regarding the
death trust in anti-Toxin was issued
today by Secretary Pritchart This
statement declares that the anti.
toxin trust is a terrific inhuman,
ity and that the three concerns
manufacturing and controlling the an.
ti-ToXin supply of almost the entire
country have arbitrarily advanced the
price one hundred per cent,
The department felt compelled tc
call the public attention to the com
bine which elfectually controls the
price of the only known remedy fol
the most dreaded scourage to child
life in the country
The primary object is to call at
tention to the immediate effect this
would have on the death rate OF
children in Chicago II has furnished
its own medical adviser to administer
and has provided the anti-toxin in al,
cases where the people were too poor
to purchase it.

price made by the trust, Chicago will
he compelled to appropriate double
the sum to do the same amount OF
charity work in diptheria cases this
year that it did last year"
This. the city can and doubtless will
do. the statement says, but outside Of
this It must be remembered that this
burden will fall heavily on the self
respecting, self supporting heads Of
families of modest incomes. To all
such. should diptheria invade Their
homes and they be compelled to pay
the increased price. The burden put
upon them by the anti-toxin trust will
indeed be grievous
In consequence the statement says
The public has already aroused the
medical profession to the highest in.
dignaton and it will no doubt result
In steps being speedily taken to pro
vide supply of anti-toxin from
sources other than that of the com.

ST. PETERSBURG SENSITIVE

ST PETERSBURG. April 2. ESQ p.
ma Toxic dispatch received here
reporting the members of the United
states Legation there as making en-
thusiastic speeches on the occasion Of
the Perry banquet. given at Toxic
March 81, arouses much comment here
in view of President RooseveIt's proc
lamation enjoining the strietest neu-
trality of word and speech on the part
of all Government officials.
The speech of the Viceroy Of India,
Lord Curzon of Kedleston, March 30.
at Calcutta. when he reviewed the last
Ave years of Indian administration and
referred to the Governments watchful
policy. attracts more attention than
Colonel MacDonald's victory in Thibet.
It was considered to have been es-
specially inopportune just at a time
when English batting in Russia is de-
creasing, as it tends to revive animosi-
ty. but, coming from Lord Curzon, the
words carry less weight, perhaps, than
they would from other quarters, as he
is looked upon as having his own spe-
cial policy for India, as Cecil Rhodes
had for South Africa.
The Bourse Gazette, in an editorial
entitled "A Voice from India" says:
..AlI of Lord Curzon's speeches have
the fundamental idea of the shadow of
Russia on the Indian frontier Lord
Curzon says: We do not want Thibet,
but no other country shall have it.
Lord Dufferin said the same thing
about Nepaul, Burnah and Kashmid
British arms have already carried
death into Thibet, which is part of
the Chinese Empire. The purpose is
to take Thibet and run a railroad
through China, in order to better place
troops there quickly. We wonder how
France, in view of the projected Anglo
French entente. will regard Lord Cur
zon's avowals of the designs cherish
ed on Southern Persia and Siam"
The editorial concludes:
1.-THE Powers having interests in
China will do well to mediate upon
these things
The Svet, while acquitting Great
Britain of responsibility and declaring
that the British Government is correct
~ observing neutrality, expresses as
constituent at the speech of Lord Cur
ION, whose words ring like chal-
lenge."
