MUST PUBLISH INGREDIENTS.
Commissioners Bill Regulating the
Sale of Patent Medicines.

Chairman Babcock of the House commit
tee on the District of Columbia today re-
ceived from the District Commissioners
their draft of bill to regulate patent and
proprietary medicine traffic In the District.
The measure, which is drastic, provides
that all patent medicines shall contain the
formulas of the ingredients of which they
are composed, printed on the outside wrap
per, and the bottle labeled In black ink on
white paper, and that any compounds that
contain more than 8 per cent of ethyl. al
eohol or any quantity Of belladona, cot
tonroot ergot or other abortifacient shall
have the word poison" printed III red let
ters on both bottle and label. Penalties
from $50 to $500 fine and one to six months
in jail are provided for violations OF the
law.
The Commissioners say in explanation of
the measure: After the recent exposures
of the extent and nature of the patent and
proprietary medicine abuse and of the evils
that have arisen and are arising from it, no
legislation for the restriction of this species
OF deception can be too radical. The m
position depends for It's success upon Sc
crecy as to the composition of the nos
trums yended, and the prevention of se-
crecy would go long way toward pre-
venting it and the resulting physical and
mental injury, The probability that not
every person in the community would COM
prehend the exact significance of the print
ed formulas Is fmmaterial A very large
proportion of the community would COM
prehend them sufficiently to know whether
they were dangerous, and every member OF
the community would at least have been af-
fcrded an opportunity TO acquaint himself
with that fact so far as 1t Is within the
power of the state to afford II to him.

FUNSTON on CHINESE.
Regards the Uprising in the East as
Ominous

san FRANCISCO, February 2S.-"Things
are beginning to look serious in the east. 4"
said Gen. Funston in an interview yester-
day, ''and the action of the War Depart
ment in re-enforcing the troops already IN
the Philippines will, in my opinion. be JUS
titled before the end of the presest upris-
ings. Though the dispatches thus far re-
ceived seem to indicate that the outrages
have been confined TO English residents in
China, il is unreason2 bic to suppose that
the uncomfortable mobs which have hith-
erto wrought such havoc among foreigners
will make any distinction of nationality IL
they ever start massacre"
Speaking of who would likely be IN COM
mand in case it was necessary 10 land
troops in China, the general said that Mai
Gen. Leonard Wood was the logical com
nlander of an expedition of the kind, but
that he had . number of generals under him
IN the military department. of the Philip
pines any one of whom was available for
service in China. He thought 1t unlikely
troops would be dispatched from here under
general.
1T seems probable" he continued, that
most Of the forces for a Chinese expedition
must come from the United States for
there are not many more men In the Phil
ippines at present than are necessary for
the preservation of law and order among
the islands,"

after the rescue of the Grants crew her
decks became awash and the schooner be-
gan to settle fast in the raging sea and
sank below. Her cargo remains intact as
yet, but the conditions on the coast are still
severe and the indications that the YES
sci will be a total loss.
The three-masted schooner John a. Beck
erman, in collision with the Norfolk and
Washington outward-bound steamer in
Hampton Roads, last night. was this morn
ing towed to Norfolk and run aground TO
prevent her sinking further.
The coast storm of last night. which was
the severest in many years. has abated to
some extent. but the wind is still blowing
forty-six miles an hour at Cape Henry. Its
maximum velocity at Cape Henry during
last night was siXty-fOur miles an hour,
with a maximum of sixty miles an hour at
Cape Hatteras, on the North Carolina coast.
The bitter cold weather of last night
greatly damaged the large spinach crop
now up in this trucking section. and is be-
lieved to have killed all early planted peas
and radshes, as well as other early crops
which had been planted as the result OF
what was taken to be a very early spring.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, February 2S.-The
four-nasted schooner George NJ. Grant,
ashore at Cape Henry. Va, is owned al
most entirely in this city. her managing
owner being James ID. Newell. The grant
carries a crew of nine men, including Capt
Pelton of Clinton. Conn. The vessel was
used principally in the lumber trade.

j. A. Brown, ex-agent of the Waters
Pierce Company at Newkirk, Okla, testified

Kansas though some of the Kansas towns
were only eight miles distant. He also
said that all of the oil received at his sta
tion came from the Whiting refinery of the
Standard All Of the oil which was sold by

PfskING, February 2s.-The government

province of Kiang-Si, where on February
% six French Jesuit missionaries and four
British subjects We're killed, to punish Sc
verely all participants in the massacre, and
declares its willingness to make without

the governor of Nanchang and consider
him efficient and friendly.
They believe his version OF the trouble,
and credit his statement that he was un-
able to prevent the disturbance Ameri-
can, British and German gunboats are pro-
ceeding to the nearest possible point to
Nanchang. River navigation is seldom safe
beyond Poyang lake.
British and German gunboats have been
stationed at the lake for the last two years

was an infringement of Chinas sovereignty.

FAVORED BY COMMITTEE.
The santo Domingo Treaty to Be Re


The Senate committee on foreign rela-
ticns today by party vote agreed to re-
port favorably the Santo Domingo treaty.
A number of amendments were made to the
treaty before it was reported.
Two sections were added TO the treaty
Intended to more definitely protect the
United States In all monetary dealings
with the creditors of the Dominican re-
public. They made it plain that the United
States shall not be liable for any claims
against Santo Domingo or any award
which results from the adjudication of any
claims. In the opinion of some members
of the committee these amendments were
necessary to absolutely protect the inter-
ests of the United States, while others
thought they were unnecessary, but ac-
cepted them on account of the desire OF
other senators.
The other amendments were verbal and
do not materially change the treaty.
The Santo Domingo treaty, which has
been so thoroughly discussed for more than
a year, provides for the adjustment of the
claims against the republic of Santo Do
mingo under the supervision of the United
States: the United States to take charge Of
the Dominican custom houses, collect the
revenues, pay 45 per cent to the Dominican
government and withhold 30 per cent, the
latter to be used to liquidate claims against
Santo Domingo. The United States is au-
thorized to preserve order and increase the
efficiency of the civil administration of the
island.

Legislators.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
STATE HOUSE. ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Feb
ruary 2s.-A perfect flood OF anti-railroad
legislation Is pending in both houses of the
general assembly, and a large number of
additional bills aimed at the railway COM
panies were introduced today. Bills TO re-
peal tax exemptions, to tax tunnels and
terminals, to investigate all sorts of things
are here, and also several bills to reduce
fares to maximum of cents per mile.
A joint resolution to make thorough in
vestigation of the sale of the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal was today reported favor
ably in the house. and the influences back
of it indicate that 1t will pass. 1t was al
legged on the floor that there was something
suspicious about the sale of the canal to
the Wabash railroad, and the disposition
seems TO be to abrogate the bargain If it
can possibly be done.
A bill was introduced today to require
railroad companies to furnish free trans
portation TO judges of courts and other Of
fieials of less rank, and several bills were
presented to prevent discrimination In the
coal-carrying roads of western Maryland
in Favor of certain favored coal companies.
