Millions for Rum.

Ten hundred millions every year

And wheresoe 'er this stream doth

Oh. who shall stay this darksome

Or can we hope with mortal

To stay this mighty tide OF death

And Gods own help is freely

JAPAN WOULD NOT CONSENT
China's Request to Be Represented
at the Peace Conference.
Care Of China's Interestss Tor
which She Has Fought.

Washington, July 10.--China's re-
quest to be represented In the Wash
ington conference on the ground that
she is vitality interested in it's pro-
ceedings, has been received by the
president and Informally transmitted
to the belligerents. Whether the pres
ident has received the formal replies
can not be learned, but it car be stated
that while Russia is inclined to favor
the suggestion, Japan would not con-
sent to 1t.
Japan has already made public her
assurance that Manchuria lis to be re-
stored to China. That is n of the
principles for which she says she has
been fighting. Japan regards herself
as fully capable of executing this prom
Use. without the assistance of China,
and in view of China inability before
the war to cope with Russia in Man
churia, the Japanese government is un-
able to see what possible service a Chi
nese representative would be in the
Washington conference.
Moreover, the Japanese have all
along taken the position that when
peace negotiations were begun they
would be conducted directly with Rus
STA. It is altogether unlikely that the
Washington government will press the
claim OF China. and the official view
here fails to sympathize with the idea.

1T is understood that the funds of

TO SUCCEED SECRETARY HAY
Hon.. Elihu Root Appointed to
and Accepts the Oalce of Sec.
retSry Of state.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., July s.-Official
announcement is made here that Elihu
Root has been appointed secretary Of
state.
The following statement was issued:
"Elihu Root has accepted the tender
by the president Of the secretaryship Of
state. He will take the oath of Office
in a couple Of weeks, but it will neces-
sarily be some little time before he
closes his business affairs. He will
not go to Washington permanently an
til some time In September"
In point Of mentality, 1t is the
opinion that the president has found a
man who can fill the shoes OF John
Hay. Mr.. Root made a good secretary
Of war, proving himself in that func-
ton a man Of action and quick deci-
sion. He is one of the keenest law
yers in the east. AS to politics. he has
always been a republican. Like Roose-
welt, however. he has not been in any
sense a machine" man.

TRADE HAS BEEN RETARDED
Holiday ana Weather Influences
Have Combined to Retard Bust.
ness In Some Sections.

New York, July S.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Holiday influences, irregular weather
and crop reports and seasonable shut
downs for repairs and inventories have
tended to limit the turnover. Too
much rain in the west has retarded
trade in that section, and from the
south similar reports come. In the
central west and east and south
west, however, trade is of full summer
volume, with a good retail distribution
and fair returns for summer goods
from jobbers. The sharp advance in
raw cotton has had a rather stimulat-
ing effect on southern trade sentiment.
though indicating smaller than expect
ed yields. the feeling being that higher
prices will Offset reduced production.
The advance Of raw cotton has stimu-
lated inquiry for cotton goods, which
have been generally advanced s to 10
per cent, and buyers complain Of slow
deliveries.
