One of the most remarkable
cases of a cold, deep-seated on the
lungs, causing pneumonia, is that
of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Mar
ion, Ind, who was entirely cured
by the use of One Minute Cough

and straining so weakened me
that l ran down in weight from
14S to 80 pounds. I tried One

of this wonderful remedy cured
me entirely of the cough, strength

NOT EXPECTED PANAMA WILL OBJECT
UNITED STATES SEEKS PARTIAL
JURISDICTION OVER TERMI.
NAL HARBoRs.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has ac-
cepted an amendment to the Panama
canal treaty giving to the United
States partial jurisdiction over the
harbors of Colon and Panama in order
to protect the shipping interests OF
this country
Under the treaty the harbors are not
included in the grant to this govern
ment and the question has been raised
that the republic of Panama has the
power to make regulations which
might interfere with shipping OF the
world. The amendment is in the ma
ture of safeguard and, it is believed,
will not meet with any opposition from
the republic of Panama.
The Republican members Of the COM
mittee are inclined to favor a few
minor amendments to the treaty II
only for the purpose of bringing about
ratification of the convention by the
constitutional convention of the new
republic and thus meet and dispose OF
one Of the vigorously fought conten-
tions of the Democrats that the treaty
has not been ratified by a tangible
form OF government.

Baron Hayashi Believes Russia viii
Refuse Demands.

London, Jan. 16.-The japanese min

indication OF the probable attitude OF
Russia. but he said to a representative
of the Associated Press:
1T is practically certain that any
declaration OF war will not enlana1c
from Russia.
The minister is not very hopeful Of
the result of the latest Japanese note.
He specifically denied that Japan re-
ply suggests the naturalization OF q
portion OF Manchnria as we'll as OF a
portion of Korea, or that mention was
made of the right to break off nego-
tiations.
"Our conditions" said the minister,
"are practically summed up in the
concluding portion OF the state de-
partment's announcement regarding
the Chinese-American treaty For
these principles, to which Secretary
Hay says the United States is irrevo-
cably committed, we are willing to go
to war unless Russia will consent to
give us a definite pledge that she, too
adheres to the open door and Chinese
| sovereignty in Manchuria.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The days s

beyond the usual hour by individual
conferences between the members and

1t is known that the situation in the

The Panama question was accorded
a share of attention, but it could not
be ascertained that there had been any

Mr.. Lodge, however, asked to have

Washington, Jan. 16.-Stare depart
ment advices from Japan indicate an
extraordinary activity in the prepara-
tion for war These add to the pessi-
mistic feeling already existing here
respecting the probability Of amicable
adjustment of the Russo-Japanese
trouble. Meanwhile the Japanese gov
ernment is reported to be striving des-
perately to find some possible means
of settlement, but the state depart
ment learns that, while processing a
desire for peace, the Russian position,
at least in principle, remains un-
changed and there is no sign OF a
disposition to yield to the japanese
proposal Still the official opinion
here is that if left to diplomacy the
present situation may continue for
several days or even weeks. The two
chances of an earlier breach are said
to be found in the possibility OF the
immediate occupation Of Korean points
by japanese forces and the presence
in the Red sea simultaneously OF Rus
sian and Japanese warships.
Respecting the possibilities of ma.
val clash in that section it is pointed
out that only i'll case of formal exist
ence OF war could be applied to the
Suez canal the rules of neutrality
which require a period Of twenty-four
hours to elapse between the departure
from the termini Of the canal OF war
ships of belligerent powers, so in ad-
vance of a declaration of war there is
nothing to prevent naval battle With
in sight Of the canal entrance to the
