REASON WHY JAPAN WITHDREW
HER DEMAND ON RUSSIA
FOR INDEMNITY.
PEACE TREATY FREELY DISCUSSED
MEMBERS or BARON koMURA's
STAFF STOP At ST. PAUL
EN- ROUTE HOME.

et. Paul, Sept. l8.-Five members
Of Baron Komura's stan passed
through this city during the day en-
route to Seattle, where they will sail
for Japan. H. w. Dennison. the Amer
sican adviser Of the Japanese foreign
pflice. was one OF the party and he
commented freely on the Portsmouth
treaty Of peace. Mr.. Dennison said
IF you have failed to pay debt
which your creditor is not In posi-.
tion to collect that's no reason you
should feel specially proud of your
self. But the Russians are taking
great credit to themselves because
they have got out Of paying an In.
aemnity to Japan.
I'VE didn't insist upon an indemnity
for the simple reason that our posi-
tion didn't permit Of insistence. II
we'd had feet In the Baltic sea or
IN army before st. Petersburg or at
the gates Of Moscow we might have
enjoyed the same advantage that the
Germans possessed when they occu-
pied Paris. They got big indemnity
from France merely as an inducement
to go away. An indemnity In inter
national affairs. you know. is not %
much payment for past losses az 9
guarantee that future losses will be
prevented.
'tBut our fleets and armies were
many thousands Of miles from Euro
pean Russia. We could. It's true,
have renewed the war and captured
vladivostok and got. perhaps. In q
position to collect an indemnity, but It
would have cost us some millions OF
yen--as much as the indemnity itself
was worth. not to speak Of loss OF
men.
Did as Well as Expected.
"Our treaty secured all that was to
be expected. We obtained perfect
guarantees against further encroach
ments on the. part Of Russia. The

Uricsol,
the only cure for
Rheumatism.

If you are suffering from rheuma-
tism there is chance for you to be-
come absolutely cured. You may
cure yourself and do 1t quickly if you
will lay side your prejudicS and
skepticism.
Every San Francisco druggist sells
Uricsol, the well-known remedy, and
we hereby authorize them to guaran-
tee a cure.
Uricsol cures rheumatism in the
only possible way it can be cured
Uric Acid and Urates are the cause
of Rheumatism. These are deposited
in the tissues, blood vessels and joints
of the body.
These deposits must be dissolved
and eliminated from the system be-
fore cure can be accomplished.
Uricsol is a solvent of these and
tones up the system, stimulates the
kidneys, liver and bowels and thus
drives them from the system.
\ Uricsol is harmless, and no injuri-
ous results can possibly come to any
part of your body.

Special Dispatch to tn. Call

NEW YORK, March 1s.-In a letter
received in this city to-day came the
announcement that Brother Seraption
Van koop, a member of a wealthy
Belgian family, who two years ago
went to the Hawaiian Islands to take
up the work begun by Father Damien
in the leper colony of Moiokai, has him
self fallen victim to the disease. The
letter came from the young missionary
himself TO Rev. Father John j. Dunn,
head of the local Roman Catholic Mis-
sionary Bureau. Brother Van Koop
says:
"A little while after your last let
ter came 1 discovered that / had no
feeling in my elbow. / remarked the
fact to Rev. Father Maxine, who COM
manded me to go to our physician.
After he had examined me he declared
the want of feeling appeared to him
to be a symptom of leprosy, but to
make sure he took from my elbow some
pieces of flesh for a microscopic ex-
animation. After a few days he came
to see me and informed me that very
probably it would prove TO be case
of leprosy. Other physicians confirmed
his diagnosis.
There is no doubt of it; 1 am a leper
These experiments were made on the
left Honolulu to return to Molokai,

for the rest of my days"
Brother Seraption Van. Koop is 2S
years old and in all likelihood he will
never live to see his 31st birthday.
Until the day of his death, as he
set forth, he will live alone in a little
hut of the leper colony. He can have
no companions except those similarly
afflicted.

SENATE'S WORK
LEFT UNDONE
Special Dispatch to The Call

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON. March 18.-Leaving
undone the main thing for which it
was called in extraordinary session, the
Senate adjourned sine die at forty
noon.
The Presidents great desire was that
the Santo Domingo treaty should be
ratified. All hope Of this was aban-
doned a week ago and since then the
Senate has only been marking time.
During the last hours to-day the treaty
was hardly mentioned and the Senate
simply drifted out. The treaty went
over without any action whatever and
is still pending, but Will never be rati-
fed. Nor was there any provision for
an investigation in Santo Domingo by
a commission. This also, was given
up and no action was taken by resolu-
ton. The condition of affairs is pre-
cisely the same as existed before the
unfortunate treaty was sent in except
that the non-action by the Senate indi-
tration's proposed debt collection cam
paign among South American nations.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-Athole B.
Reader and his wife, mentioned by
Senator Morgan Of Alabama in the
Santo Dominican treaty discussion as
composing the Reader syndicate, which
had in hand plan for raising the
debts of the Dominican republic and
the sale of a naval port on the island
to the American Government, are in
this city. In long statement issued
by the Readers they set forth their
scheme for relieving the Santo Domin-
go situation, which fell through when
Commander Dillingham; arrived on the
scene. They claim to have been en-
gagged by Perez, a secret agent here of
President Morales. Reader asserts that
President Morales appointed Mrs.
Reader fiscal agent, of the republic. in
the United States and gave her author
ity to negotiate treaties for the debt
settlement in Washington, as we'll as
the entire financial rehabilitation of
Santo Domingo. These matters had,
the Readers claim, almost reached a
conclusion when President Morales an
nounced he had received word through
Minister Dawson that Commander Dill
lingham was coming and all negotia-
tion with Reader was instantly
dropped.

BITTER WORDS
FOR PEABODY
Ousted Governor Adams
Issues an Address to
the People of Colorado

DENVER, March 1S.-Forner Cover
nor Alva Adams, who was ousted from
Office by the General Assembly, issued
an address ITO the People of Colorado"
tonight 1t consists of about 2500
words and reviews In scathing terms
the various steps in the contest by
means of which he was unseated. Fol-
lowing are extracts from the address:
Fooled in their attempt to override
the constitution and hold Peabody In
his seat, a fake contest was inaugu-
rated This failed of all purpose, as
enough Republican members would not
forfeit their manhood by voting for a
man that the testimony, as we'll as the
election returns, said was not elected.
1t was clear that Peabody could not be
seated. A new scheme must be de-
vised, so that coterie of Christian util-
ity statesmen-Hearne, Sheedy, Chap
peIl and Evans-met in the Majestic
building on Wednesday evening and
gave birth to the last plan in the ig-
noble conspiracy of stealing the Gov
ernorship. Representatives of the anti
Peabody Republicans were invited. A
resignation of Peabody was offered
and the voucher of the political purity
quartet was given that it was genuine
and that he would abide by it. A man
who had held the great office Of Gov
ernor so debased himself as to prom
ise to resign at command if they would
seat him but for a day. This resigna-
ton Is confession that he was not
elected, and one that an honest man
honestly elected would rather die than
give.
I'VE expected fair play; instead the
majority of the Legislature has bowed
to the dictates of corporations who had
selfish needs of the Governorship.
The greatest anarchists and the
most dangerous are often the no-party,
no-conscience heads of great corpora
tions, who use the money and influence
coming from the franchises and privi-
leges that are the gifts of the people
to control legislation, to dictate the
personnel of courts and officials, to cor
rupt the ballot.
THE 600, 600 Democrats and Republi-
cans in Colorado are honest. They
stand amazed at the crime committed
by their representatives and they ar
IDENTIFY await the hour and the day
when they can rebuke the crime and
those responsible for 1t.

alogue. A majority cannot make steal
ing respectable"

FAKE MEDIUMS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-Citizens op-
posed to the numerous fake mediums,
fortune tellers and voodoo doctors now
plying their vocation in Chicago have
joined hands with the police in an ef-
fort to prosecute these so-called takers,
and, If possible, drive them out of bust
ness.
The first step taken by those inter-
ested in this new crusade was in the
nature of meeting held tonight, at
which an organization was formed, the
object of which is to hold regular meet
ings in all parts of the city to expose
all tricks of imposters, for the purpose
of convincing the most firm believers
that they are being systematically
