They comment on the sacred texts and
write new ones. Every monastery is
also a library. The monks carve and
paint. They mold the Buddas and the
strange and fanciful Hindoo and Chi

cast from their designs.
But the lamas are the folk against

the backbone of Tibetan resistance.
But the priest militant is not an I'M

Whisky for Cotton.

mated by George C. Buchanan, Louis.
vile representative Of julius Kesslel.
& Co., to take over the surplus cotton
in the southern states and save It
from fire. 1t is the plan of the firm
to trade Kentucky bourbon for 100000
bales of cotton at 71s cents a poun

Of the cotton states The whisky is
to be traded at contract prices in bond.
The plan is a new one and is made
possible by the movement in the south
to burn the surplus cotton in the hope
of raising the price of the staple.

ness is confined to regular and leadti-
mate channels. Some recession in
merchandise values is desirable, and
would stimulate new enterprise, but
such recessions are not yet In sight.
Supply and demand are still the key
to the situation and, as already stated.
the most striking fact today in the
business world, is not so much the high
prices, as the comparative scarcity
which produces them. Until production
cvertakes consumption there Will be no
setback. Prices may rule high and
trusts and unions may continue to keep
up the costs of production; but produce
ton is likely to increase, and business
continue large in volume until high
prices or some other causes check dis
tribution and the equilibrium between
supply and demand Is restored. That
goal has not yet been reached; 1t may
be nearer than supposed; but since
general conditions are sound and con-
fidence strong there are the best OF rea-
sons for anticipating another year Of
large business and general prosperity
provided. as said before, we avoid spec
ulative excuses. The present session
OF congress promises to be actively oc-
cupied with discussion of economic
questions, such as tariff, trusts. rail-
roads, etc. These questions have a
vital bearing upon business interests,
and their discussion may produce tenn
porary unsettlement. At the same time
there is little prospect Of any radical
action on these problems while the
present party remains in power, espec-
tally during the present session.
Foreign Commences.
Our foreign trade held It's own much
better than anticipated There were at ],
times material declines in the ship
ments OF cotton and wheat. owing to
the high prices incidental to short
crops, but these were compensated for
later, by lower prices, renewed ship-l
ments Of cotton and unusually large
exports Of copper. During eleven
months of the current year our exports
aggregated 1905 millions, a decrease Of
only 100000. Considering that we
only exported 100000 bushels Of
wheat in these eleven months, against
67,000,000 last year, and that the value
OF breadstuf exports fell from 178,000I-
900 in that period last year to 82,000l-
900. this is very satisfactory reslt.

What He Proposed to Reduce.
New York PresS.l

General Leonard Wood, at one time
a surgeon himself, is fond of stories in
which the joke is on the doctor. He
tells this one:
A doctor was sought by a man who
fancied there was something wrong
with his heart. The physician made
a cursory examination, which disclosed
large swelling in the mans cardiac
region.
"There certainly appears to be an
extraordinary swelling right here"
said the physician, tapping with his
finger on the mans side. I'VE must
reduce this at once, sir: at once!"
A faint smile came to the face of the
patient.
"oh, Doc" he exclaimed, "that swell
ing is my pocketbook! Don't reduce it
too much, pleased"

Mr.. Dickinson had a talk of ten
minutes duration with Mrs. Milburn.
She wanted to learn something about
Ocean Park property, stating that she
intended to leave for San Francisco
that night and had planned to visit
Ocean Park that day.
Mr.. Dickinson recalls that the con-
ference was held early in the fore

of the woman, because she said she
leaving for the north that night. She
was told that the firm had but two
original lots left in their tract at
Ocean Park and the name of the
agent was given. Mrs. Milburn's atten-
tion was also called to three proper
critics on San Julian street, and she
was given a description of the same
by Mr.. Dickinson. Mrs. Milburn told
Mr.. Dickinson that it was her purpose
on her return from the north to invest

she would call again and become fur

investments in the city.
Chief of Police Hammel Is giving the
Milburn case his personal supervision.
He has detailed several detectives to
carry on the investigation, and will
not permit the inquiry to rest until he
is satisfied that all possible local con-
nections have been followed to the
end.
The authorities also continue to
prosecute the investigation at Ocean

have been few developments. 1t is
probable that the coast from Ocean

that they will be able to throw con-
siderable light on the mystery within

MOTIVE ROBBERY
Psyehst Discusses Peculiar Phases Of
Remarkable Case

DR.. Alexander ]. McIvor-Tyndall the
psychologist, visited the room at 407
South Hope street yesterday afternoon
which was occupied by Mrs Milburn,
and after inspecting the surroundings,
said he is firmly convinced that the
tragedy which ended in the woman's
murder was premeditated. He thinks
there is good ground for the theory
that the plot originated in st. Louis.
DR.. McIvor-Tyndall said:
lowing to the popularity of the case
and the many mysterious circum-
stances surrounding it, I prefer to
make no definite statement as to the
manner in which the crime was COM
mitted. However, / am firmly con-
vinced that the motive was purely for
money, and that the murderers thor
oughly understood Mrs. Milburn's
financial condition. 1t is also my
opinion that the crime was planned in
advance. There is one thing am sure
of, and that Is Mrs. Milburn was not
murdered on the impulse of the mo-
ment by strangers.
"There are certain phases of this
case which l prefer not to dwell upon
at this time. This much 1 will say,
however. that the next thirty-six hours
will produce some surprising Develop
ments."

she had told him of visiting mediums
and securing readings.

EXPLAINS AGREEMENT
Secretary of State Shows Why the
Step Was Taken

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Sec
retary of state, in conversing with
press representatives today, made a
statement as to negotiations with San
Domingo. He denied that the depart
ment of state had known of the exist
ence of the agreement of January 81
prior to the announcement in the public
press that such an instrument he'd been
signed at Santo Domingo city. This
agreement was signed at that time
for the purpose of meeting the require
ments of certain political conditions at
Santo Domingo and to avert further
disorders and bloodshed.
The action of our representatives in
this respect was approved. No purpose
of putting either the agreement of
January q or the protocol now before
the senate into practical operation
without submitting it to the senate
for approval was ever entertained, con-
sidered or discussed.

The Cost of Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis, according to statistics
compiled for the New York Medical
Journal, kills annually in the United
States over 100000 persons. The aver
age age of the victims is 80 years. At
that age the average expectation of
life is 32 years. Assume that person
of 35 will be able to make an average
addition of only $50 annually to the
nations wealth during the 80 years of
expectation of life. Then multiplying
150 900 by go, and then by $50, we have
from the deaths of these persons at 81
an annual loss to the nation of $24O.-
900, 900. Assuming that only one-haf
of the deaths were preventable, We
still have an annual loss of $120, 900.
In other words, this nation loses an
nually an addition of at least $12O,OOO,-
900 to it's wealth which 1t might have
had by guarding against tuberculosis
as it does against yellow fever or
smallpox.
Let half dozen cases of yellow
fever appear at one of our ports and
the whole country pays attention and
takes precautions. Let half a dozen
cases of smallpox appear in any city
and drastic measures to stamp out the
plague are taken instantly. The raw
ages of yellow fever and of smallpox
at their worst have never in this coun-
try caused one-tenth of the average
annual loss caused by tuberculosis, yet
those diseases are dreaded everywhere,
and their slightest appearance causes
widespread alarm. There is not the
slightest doubt that fully 100000 of the
100000 annual victims of tuberculosis
could be saved and the material loss
caused by their deaths avoided If the
public feared and fought tuberculosis
as it does cholera, yellow fever nr
smallpox.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

How Animals Regard Fire

Most animals are afraid OF fire and
will fly from it in terror. To others
there is fascination about the flame,
and they will walk into it, even though
tortured by the heat. A horse in a
burning stable goes mad with fear, but
a dog is as cool in a fire as at any time.
He keeps his nose down to the floor,
where the air is purest, and sets HIM
self calmly to finding his way out.
Cats in fires howl piteously They
hide their faces from the light and
crouch in corners. When their rescuer
lift them they are as a rule quite
docile and subdued. never biting or
scratching.
Birds seem to be hypnotized by fire
and keep perfectly still; even the To-
quacious parrot in a fire has nothing
to say.
Cows, like doge, do not show alarm.
They are easy to lead forth. and often
find their way out themselves Chicago
