POWERS GET A NEW NOTE.
United States Takes Further Steps to
Protect Chinese Empire.

United States Takes Further Steps to
Protect Chinese Empire.
Paris, Jan. 2O.-The French govern
ment and other powers have received a
communication from the American
government which, If approved by the
powers, will exert far reaching eff
feet in preventing the territorial break
up Of China when peace is eventually
made between Russia and Japan.
The American initiative in this d.
rection is distinct from the recent
note relative to Russia's protest "a
gainst China's alleged breach of neut-
rality. This latter note treats of the
continuation of China's neutrality in
the pending war, but the other COM
munication treats of Chinese territory
after the war is concluded. This step
is based upon information reaching the
United States government that some of
the powers are apprehensive that the
eventual consideration Of peace be-
tween Russia and Japan will lead to
claims on portions Of China's territory.
The American communication tends to
avert the possibility of such claims be-
ing made, thus insuring a continuance
Of the present policies of the open door
and the territorial integrity of the en-
pire.
The French, British and Italian gov
ernments have approved the American
communication. If other powers APP
prove, it will constitute notable I'M
Outstanding that the powers will not
make claims on Chinese territory when
peace is ultimately concluded.

Exaggerated.

New York, Jan. 2O.--A dozen per-
sons arrived from Panan yesterday
on the steamer Seguara lea, fleeing
from the pestilential, mslarial canal
zone, infested by yellow fever and
threatened by smallpox. They sailed
from Colon. These statements and
admissions are startling evidence that
the canal commission and the sanitary
department have not clelned up the
zone as promised; that Yellow fever,
smallpox or some Other malignant
disease promises to become epidem-
ic
Those who arrived yesterday had
heard of no smallpox on the isthnus,
but reported that there was yellow
fever at Panama w. p. armstrong, OF
Washington, auditor of he Panama
commission, was one of the passen-
gers. He remained on the isthmus but
one week.
Mr.. Armstrong said he had seen all
he could In week on the isthmus. He
was asked if it was true that the
canal was a death ditch; that the la
borers were miserably paid and har-
assed by disease; that suspected cases
of yellow fever are taken to the hos
pital daily; that there would be
revolution today were i. not for the
presence Of American warships, and
that all the corresponder is on the is
thmus are subsidized.

conditions" said Mr.. Armstrong. Il
will not say that some part of them
are exaggerated and soma part of them
are not true. / have heard of one or
two cases Of yellow fever ait Pana-

DIR. Picknell, surgeon Of the United
States steamer Dixie, now stationed at
Colon. returned on the s;egurancia for
his health. He said there were in all
nine yellow fever suspects when he left
the isthmus. Dr.. Pickn,ll thinks the
rush of laborers ought to be stopped
at this end.
What Panama f!eeds.
Mobile. Ala, Jan. 20.-"Get good
drinking water; put in IL new sanitary
system; screen the houses and ship
something fit to eat there, and Panama
will be all right"
This is the verdict of the members
of the congress Of physicians of North
and Central and South America, re-
Gently In session at Panama and Colon.
On the steamship Brighton yesterday
were number of the physicians who
had attended the congress.
DR.. C. H. Hughes q prominent st.
Louis physician. said:
"In order to make the country safe,
it will be necessary to greatly improve
the methods of sanitation. The city
of Panama is dirty. Tie residents are
still using water from their cisterns.
The water is caught from the house,
tops, and as the birds make the roofs
their roosting places, 1t can be seen
that the water is by nc means pure or
healthy. There is a great future for
that country If the proper precautions
are taken"

as John ID. Rockefeller is the abso-
lutte legal owner of the large section OF
1T of which today he is possessed.
When that day Is here the people
will legally be the slaves of these ten
men.
He says as preliminary to this
predictions:
In fact, the system has cunningly
possessed itself of the financial mech
anism of the country and Is running It,,
not for the object for which the ma
chine was devised, but for the beneiit
and personal profit of its votnries, and
so the vast correlated organization OF
banks, trust companies and insurance
corporations which were brought into
being for the safe handling OF the peo-
pies savings has become an agency
for transferring these savings to the
control of INSCRIPTIONS manipulators,
who take liberal toll of every dollar
that passes thru their hands"
Mr.. Lawson makes an interesting
comparison between the old Louisiana
lottery and the System quite in favor
of the former.
''In the height of its prosperity" he
says, "the Louisiana lottery only took
from the people - paltry s1o0ooooo or
$20.OOO,oO0 a year, while today there
are single groups of banks, trust COM
panies. corporations and trusts, which
take from the people. by might, by
trick and by theft, hundreds Of millions
each year. and there are scores of
such groups"

DERANGED NERVES
DISTRESSING TROUBLES LEFT
BY ST. VlTUS AND GRIP.
Woman Afflicted for Years by Strange
Spells Of Weakness and Numbness
F,ecovers Perfect Health.

When she was fourteen years old
Mrs lea l.. Brown had st. Vitus'
dance. She finally got over the most
noticeable features of the strange all
ment but she was still troubled by
very uncomfortable sensations, which
her doctor was unable to master. She
recently described them as follows:
"One hand, half of my face, and half
OF my tongue would get cold and
numb. These feelings would come on
gradually, last for about ten minutes,
and then go away. They would occur
several times day. Besides l would
have lalpitation of the heart, and a
great deal of melancholy, and would
suddenly grow weak without any APP
parent reason, and my strength would
get SO low that l could hardly breathe.
/ had these uncomfortable spells dur
Ing a great many years, and as time
went on they kept coming oftener and
growing worse instead Of better. The
numbness would sometimes extend ov-
er half my body"
Asked how she got rid Of these per-
sistent and vexatious troubles Mrs.
Brown said: ut seemed for a long
time as If l never could get rid Of them.
I took many different remedies during
many years but while 1 sometimes got
little relief the spells came back
again. 1t was not until about six years
ago that I found remedy for nervous
disorders that had virtue enough in
1t to reach my case. That was DR..

and they have since entirely cured
me-
did it take long to effect a cure ?"
No! A very short time really.

before 1 saw great improvement in

growing better all the time, until 1 had

What was that?"

When I got up l had dreadful attacks

I would simply fall right down. [ was
just miserable, and when l saw the
doctor was not helping me, l began
to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills again.
In a short time they cured me Of that

MANY LANGUAGES.

Seven Modern and Four Ancient
Tongues Taught at constantinople
College.
Probably no woman's college in the
world teaches so many languages as
the American College for Girls in Con-
stantinople, says a former teacher in
that institution. Seven modern and
four ancient ongues, including Greek,
Armenian, Bulgarian, Turkish, French
and German, appear on the curriculum
and tho the classes in each may be
small, supply of literature in each
one must be kept In the library, which
makes the expense of manning the col
lege considerably greater than 1t would
otherwise be.
Other marked differences exist be-
tween an American college in the or
lent and one in the United States. The
study Of history and literature, for
instance, Is conducted under much
more favorable auspices than can be
obtained In a newer land, and is, con-
sequently, much more interesting.
There is an inspiration In living in a
city with continuous history OF twen-
ty-six hundred years, of being descen-
ded from peoples of ancient splendor
