about a Cough Cure like DR.. Shops.
For years Dr. Shoop has fought against
Opium, Chloroform, or other unsafe in
gradients commonly found in Cough
remedies. DR.. Shoop it seems, has
welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law
recently enacted, for he has worked
along similar lines for many years.
For nearly 20 years Dr. Shops Cough
Cure containers have had a warning
printed on them against Opium anc
other narcotic poisions. He has thus

As to the presence OF water and some

that he expected 10 hear Of its arrival at
Mazatlan tomorrow or Monday.
Mr.. Schwerin pointed out that the cap
tain of the Standard oil steamer Maverick

greetings with the City OF Panama on
January 1, fifty miles south Of where the
RATS were found. The City OF Panama
signalled that all was well on board.

In the engineers department and eight in
the stewards department. In all the crew
numbered hfty-six.
There were ffty-six passengers on board.
Fifteen occupied the first cabin and fifteen
were in the steerage. The other twenty
six were Chinese.
Had the City Of Panama continued unin-

sided Interpretation put upon the Ports
mouth treaty. But apart from the bitter
humiliation involved which would rankle
in the minds of the Russians and hinder
lasting peace this line of action would run
counter to all diplomatic traditions and
principles of international law. The re-
nunciation of the right OF navigating the
Sungari and Amur would II is believed,
be welcomed by all commercial nations,
and II is even said that Russia will gladly
discuss the matter along these lines. but
cannot entertain 1t as a corollary of the
Portsmouth treaty, nor a subject of ne
gotiations with Japan. 1t is claimed that
1t would be as pertinent to demand that
Odessa be declared a free port.
Though 1t has been repeatedly tele-
graphed out from St. Petersburg and from
Toxic that arrangements have been made
satisfactory to Russia and Japan 1t may
be taken for granted that arrangements
can never be made satisfactory to the Rus
