HIS FRIENDS ALARMED.
w. Bourke Cochran Quite Ill at a New
York Hotel.

New York, Dec. rs .---The condition Of
w. Bourke Cochran, who was taken i'll
10.days ago., and is now at the Waldorf
Astoria, has become so serious that his
physician has advised him to seek the
milder climate Of Arizona, in hope of
fegaining his health
When Mr.. Cochran was stricken il
was thought that cold from which
he was suffering was only superficial
and that day or two would see him
on the road to recovery. He did not re-
cover as rapidly as had been expected,
was threatened with pneumonia and had
to cancel business engagements.
One Of Mr.. Cockran's friends said
that for some time Mr.. Cochran had real
ized that he was in danger OF certain
pulmonary weaknesses, and that his APP
parent inability to recover from the re-
cent cold had caused much alsrm among
his friends.

SEEK CONTROL
OF THE CANAL
Plan Of the Senate's Elder
Statesmen.
AFTER CANAL COMMITTEE
4
Measures for Legislation to Be Divided
They Wish Also to Have
the Work Done by
Contract.

Washington, Dec. 2s.---Two important
Developments on canal affairs yesterday
became clear. The elder statesmen of the
Senate have decided to trim down" the
inter-ocsauie canal committee, Of which
Senator Willard of Nebraska is the
new chairman, by leaving it only nomi-
nal control of canal affairs. Real legis-
lation will be divided among the com
mittees which the elder statesmen them-
selves control. Canal appropriations,
for example, viii go through Allison's Ap-
preparation Committee, canal bonds
through Aldrich's Finance Committee,
foreign complications involved IN canal
building 10 cullom's Foreign Relations
Committee, ETC., leaTing the Willard
committee only technical control Of de-
tails, perhaps with the privilege Of an
occasional visit To the Isthmus TO see
that the work is progressing properly.
The next development Is y strong
movement among the elder statesmen To
have the canal built under contract, in
stead oil by the commission direct, and
while it would be necessary to retain an
executive board TO oversee the contract
arx, aud il would probably be known as
commission and perhaps be the present
one, the elder statesmen feel that the
Congress should prescribe the kind Of
canal desired, virtually making the
specifications upon which the contractors
would build and then the commission
would he left with no duties except to
administer these contracts.

DROP FOOT BALL FOR A YEAR.
President Eliot Advises Stopping Con-
tests for Experiment.

New York, Dec. 2s. Writing to
Chancellor Henry A. McCracken Of New
York university in answer to an invi-
tation to Harvard to he present at the
foot ball conferences To be held in this
city today, President Eliot Of the Cam
bridge university declares that he be-
lieves that intercollegiate foot ball
should be stopped for year in order
that the colleges might experiment with
the game in the interval, with the idca
of not resuming until they had the game
in satisfactory shape. This idea was
expressed in d letter made public by
Chancellor McCracken in announcing the
list Of colleges which have accepted in
vitations to be present at the Murray
Hill conference Of Twelve Colleges. !,
President Eliot says further that he
does not think that the question of re-
forming the game should be left to those
who have ruined" it, in which cate
CORY he includes committees, coaches
and umpires."

NOT FORBIDDEN.
Mrs. Eddy Has Not Vetoed Gift-Giyini
at Christmas.


Boston, Dec. 2s.- Reports to the con-
trary notwithstanding, Mrs, Mary g.
Baker Eddy has not ordered the mem
bers of the Christian Science Church to
cease making gifts at Christmas, the re-
port arising from misunderstanding
of a new rule Of the church recently is
sued, which was intended TO stop influx
of gifts to her from her people at the
holidays
Evidently" said Mr.. Alfred Farlow,
the president Of the church In this city,
'the current report crediting Mrs. Eddy
with ordering the discontinuance Of gift
making is an exaggerated sense Of a
recent church bylaw. which reads:
"sMembers OF this church who turn
their attention from the divine principle
of being to personality, sending gifts,
congratnlatory dispatches or letters to
the pastor emeritus on Thanksgiving,
Christmas, New Year or Easter, break
a rule of this church and are amenable
therefore,
As we understand it here in Boston
this bylaw was intended TO stop the in
fiux 81 consratulatory letters and gifts
to Mrs. Eddy, and Was not intended to
apply to gift making in general, 81.
though in recent article Mrs. Eddy
emphasized the Importance Of the higher
significance Of Christmas as compared
with mere gift making

CHINA FOR
THE CHINESE
Empire Throws Off Foreign
Domination
no REDRESS WRONGS.
Further Concessions to Aliens Are Not
Likely-Industries Of the Country
to Be Under Home
Control.

Pekin. Dec. 2s.--The most conserva-
tive and best informed foreigners agree
in expressing apprehension at the con-
stantly growing irritation Of the Chinese
against foreigners, which for months has
been gradually spreading through the
country.
China for the Chinese" summarizes
the objects Of the movement, among the
chief promoters Of which re male stud
ents educated abroad and new news
papers conducted by Chinese who have
been educated in America and Europe,
which are beginning 70 gain great infiu-
ence.
The nti-American boycott has been
followed by discussion Of Chinas
wrongs at the hands Of foreigners gen
orally and determination 70 redress
them. The hostility first shown against
Americans has now extended TO all for
eigners. The Chinese are pleased at the
result Of the boycott in producing con-
ciliatory orders from President Roose-
Welt, but the boycott il nowise ended,
and continues, it is asserted here, to
seriously affect American trade in the
Canton and Yangste regions
The Chinese are so satisfied with the
movement that they are talking of the
boycott as a permanent weapon for
the national armory The newspapers
advocate the boycott Of Indian opium
because of the action OF the British
assessor of the mixed court at Shanghai
in ordering the imprisonment of Chinese
women in the municipal JUL instead OF
in the Chinese prison, which caused the
recent disturbances there.
One result OF the present movement
is TO discourage concession hunting. The
government has adopted policy OF
Chinese control
While many foreigners synpathize
with the objects Of the agitation, they
realize tho danger Of infiammatory
speeches and articles in the newspapers
leading to mob uprisIngs like that &C
Shanghai, and the recent massacre Of
American missionaries at Lienchau.
Regarding the Shanghai incident, the
ministers Of the powers have practi-
csllly decided that the municipal officers
exceeded their rights under the treaties
and will direct them TO recede from their
position. There is no doubt that Athe
aggressive spirit Of the Chinese has
been decidedly increased by the late
war and the successful manoeuvers of
the Chinese northern army in October.
Japans victory has encouraged the
Chinese TO believe that they could be
equally successful Foreigners living in
cities where the government is strong
are assured 81 protection, but the dan.
ger Of the present situation lies in pos.
sihIe friction between foreigners and
Chinese where the officials are weak or
indifferent, leading to further outbreaks.
The proposed withdrawal of the re-
naming international troops from China
in the spring has been meeting with OPP
position since the Shanghai riots.
Shanghai, Dec 27,British Assessor
Twymen resumed the sitting of the
mixed court today with the police IN
attendance. but without any additional
guard. Everything here is in normal
condition.
