condition that 1t be spent to send nurses

same purpose, if the work prospers as
she hopes.

FOUGHT WITHOUT THE
FAlNTEST RAY OF HOPE.

All through his last afternoon on earth
the doctors were only able to fight for
prolongation of life without the fantest
ray of hope. The watchers at the bed
side expected the end momentarily
Shortly before 4 o'clock Senator Scott
of West Virginia, an associate of the
stricken statesman on the national repub-
lican committee, was closeted with DR..
Carter, the family physician, who told
him that the senator was then sinking
gradually; that the end might come at
any moment, but might be prolonged for
two or three hours
The senator passed the day practically
without nourishment of any kind being
too weak to retain it. The household
had become resigned to the Inevitable
outcome, and sadly awaited the final
summons. Elmer Dover, the senator
secretary. when he left the sick room
at $50 o'clock, said there was then a
perceptible decrease of strength over the
hour before, and that life was fading
very fast. The patients pulse was so
faint that it could not be detected at all
at the wrist, and the heart barely nut
tered.
Shortly after o'clock word came from
the sick room that the sick man was
sir DlN wasting away"

ence regarding the Russian occupation
OF Manchuria covering the period from
July, 1900, to January 5, 1904.

Russia would not interfere with the ex-
isting treaty rights of the powers.

with these assurances, but he expressed
his regret that Russia should have found
1t impossible to take even a single step
in pursuance of policy which she thus
prescribes herself, and said the people Of
England were looking for some concrete
evidence of Russias intention to fulfill
her promises For example, the an
nouneement that New Chwang would be
evacuated at an early date would have
had reassuring effect, and Lord Lans-
downe was not aware of any local diff
ficulty In the way Of this move.

statement regarding Mr. Hannas Illness
Senator Hanna died quietly at twenty

marked there being a gradual rise in the
