SEVERE IN ITS CRITICISM.
Message to Congress on Discharge OF
Colored Soldiers.

Washington, Dec. President
Roosevelt has complied with the re-
quest of the senate, made on the sec
!Ond day Of the session, in transmit
ting to that body transcript of testi-
mony and documents connected with
the discharge of battalion of negro
troops of the Twenty-fifth infantry.
The message, a lengthy document, was
decidedly severe in its criticism of the
soldiers alleged to be concerned in
shooting up the town" of Browns
vile, Tex. Its reading was listened to
intently. In part, the president says:
"I ordered the discharge of nearly
all the members of Companies B, C
and D Of the Twenty-ffth infantry by
name, In the exercise of my constitu-
tional power and in pursuance of what,
latter full consideration, found to be
my constitutional duty as commander
in-chief of the United States army.
am glad to avail myself of the oppor-
tunity afforded bythese resolutions to
lay before congress the facts as to the
lmnrdarnils- cnnduot- certain mem
bers of the companies in question and
as, to the conspiracy by which many
of the other members of these COM
panies.. saved the criminals from JUS
tice, to the disgrace of the United
States uniform.
.. Says Evidence Is Conclusive.
''The evidence proves conclusively
that number of the soldiers engaged
in deliberate and concerted attack,
cold blooded as it was cowardly; the
purpose being to terrorize the COM
'munity and to kill or injure men, wo-
men and children in their homes and
beds or on the streets, and this at an
hour of the night when concerted or
effective resistance or defense was
out of the question and when detec-
ton by Identification of the criminals
in the United States uniform was we'll
nigh impossible. So much for the orig
inal crime. A blacker never stained
the annals Of our army. It has been
supplemented by another, only less
black, in the shape of successful con-
spiracy Of silence for the purpose Of
shielding those who took part in the
original conspiracy of murder These
soldiers were not schoolboys on q
frolic. They were full grown men, in
the uniform of the United States army,
armed with deadly weapons, sworn to
uphold the laws of the United States
and under every obligation of oath
and honor not merely to refrain from
crimfnality, but with the sturdiest
rigor to hunt down criminality; and
the crime they committed or conn1ved
at was murder. They perverted the
power put into their hands to sustain
the law into the most deadly violation

FORMER GOVERNOR GENERAL or
KEW THE VICTIM or AN uN.
KNOWN ASSASSIN.
RECEIVES SIX BULLETS IN HIS BODY
MURDERER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
BUT is SEIZED AND TAKEN
INTO CUSTODY.

Tver, Russia, Dec 24.-Count Alexis
the empire and ex-governor general of
hev, Volhynia and Podolia, was shot
and killed by an unknown man in the
refreshment room of the hall occupied
by the mobiles assembly. The assas-
sin fired six bullets from revolver
into his victims body and then tried
to commit suicide, but was seized be-
fore he could do so and is now in Gus
tody of the police.
General Count Alexis Pavolich Igna-
ltieff was born in 1912 and after com
pleting the usual course in the corps
Of pages entered a regiment of hus-
sars of the guard. In 1863 he was
appointed commander of the regiment
of Chevalier guards, the most coveted
post in the Russian army, and in 1881
he became chief Of staff of the guard
corps. Count Ignatieff entered the
administrative service in 1885 as gov
ernor general of Irkutsk and in 1889
was appointed governor general of
Kiev, which position he held until
1897.
AS a result of the disorders which
occurred throughout Russia after red
Sunday" Jan. %, 1905, Ignatief was
sent by the emperor to investigate the
situation in Southern Russia and his
report on the immediate necessity for
granting reforms was one of the chief
reasons which induced the emperor
to proclaim the first Russian par1ia-
ment During the debates preceding
the adoption of the parliamentary law
of Aug. s, 1905, Ignatieff advocated
the granting of a large measure Of.
power to parliament. but it appears
that the success Of the represslve
measures following the Moscow revolt
changed his opinion, for he became
the active coadjutor of General Ire
pof in supporting the repressive pol
Icy of Minister of the Interior Dur
novo and in the intrigue which result
ed in the downfall of Count Witte. It
was said at the time that the plan was
to proclaim Ignatief premier and
dictator, turn the guard regiments
against parliament and apply the iron
rule which Trepoff, Igratieff and their
colleagues considered necessary to
govern Russia.

IN q speech this week nailed the colors
Of protection to the mast and this, with
the fact that Mr.. Balfour has accepted
q seat for the city Of London, an es-
sentially tariff reform seat, makes 1t
almost certain that Mr.. Balfour and
Mr.. Chamberlain in the future will
work hand and glove for tariff reform
on the Chamberlain lines. IT may be
pointed out that the tariff reform
movement In this election has not been
without it's victories. The Chamberlain
ties are drawing much consolation from
the fact that in several cases Unionist
free traders were defeated by members
of the Chamberlain group. Mr.. Cham-
berlain claims 100 Unionists, 40 Labor
ties and 81 Nationalists on the ques-
ton of protection.
One thing Is certain, the Baborites
will take a leading part at the COM
ing sessions of parliament, though It
ia improbable that active opposition
tactics will develop during the first
session.
The Nationalist who expected to
hold the balance Of power are some
what disappointed, but political proph-
cts do not hesitate to say that home
rule for Ireland, in a modified form, is
actually in sight, asserting that It IL
logical to conclude, after Campbell
Bannerman's pledge relative to the
management of domestic affairs Of ire
land, that the experiment of an Irish
parliament subsidiary to the imperial
parliament will be tried within the next
two years.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease

The mention of sulphur will recall
TO many of us the early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave us
our daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fail.
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all,
and, mind you, this oId-fashioned rem.
edy was not without merit
The idea was good. but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and large
quantity had to be taken TO get any
effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in "A palatable, con-
centrated form, SO that a single grain
is far more effective than a tablespoon
full of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
sold IN drug stores under the name OF
Stuarts Calcium WATERS They are
small chocolate-coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in highly concentrated, eff
fective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form Of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health;
sulphur acts directly on the liver and
excretory organs and purlhes and en-
riches the blood by the prompt elm
ination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary
flours of sulphur were often worse than
the disease and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuarts Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
Dr. r. M. wilkins while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was
superior to any other form. He says:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti-
patton or malaria, I have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuarts Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, l have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth. Although Stu
arts Calcium Waters is proprietary
article, and sold by druggists, and for
that reason tabooed by many physi-
clans, yet l know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in all
forms Of skin disease as this remedy"
At any rate, people who are tired of
pills. cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" will find in Stuart's Cal
cium Waters a far safer, more palat-
able and effective preparation.

K0REA'S FUTURE BRIGHT
Morgan Says Japan Will Give Hell
the Best Government She
Has Ever Had
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-Edwin
Morgan, former United States minister
to Korea, who arrived here from the
orient yesterday ell route to Cuba as
minister to the republic, in an inter-
view on Korean affairs, said:
when left Toxic Marquis Ito, the
newly appointed governor general, was
preparing to start for Seoul. He is in
no sense military governor. The peo-
pie have feared that Korea was to be
placed under harsh military govern
ment. The contrary is the case. Korea
will have a better government than it
has ever had, and I think the future
of the country is very bright. In
taking over the foreign relations of
Korea, Japan gave assurances to all
of the treaty powers that existing for
eign treaties would not be disturbed.
This means that American interests in
Korea will not be affected and that
American enterprises will continue to
find a profitable field of activity In the
country. American goods find a big
market there and mining enterprises
conducted by Americans are being sue
cessfully worked.
