MISSIONARIES AND MEDICINE
Conference Mt Shanghai Resolves That
More Attention Should he Paid
to Hospital Work.

SHANGHAI, May 8.-The missionary con-
ference at tOday's session discussed med
ical work In general, religious work in hos
pltals, medical training for Chinese doc
tors and nursing as a profession for Chi
nese women.
An elaborate paper was presented by the
committee on medical work (Dr. Dugal q.
Christi of the United Free Church OF Scot
land) showing that in round numbers,
there are 800 fully qualified missionary
physicians, 5000 Chinese assistants, $50 hos
pitfalls and dispensaries, and that at least
100000 patients are treated every year.
It was resolved 10 recognize medical mis-
sions as an integral part OF the missionary
work Of the Christian church, to recon-
mend that medical missionaries should re-
ceive their commissions from the home
churches and societies in a public and un-
mistakable way, that no partially trained
men or women should be appointed to
undertake responsible medical work and
the medical missionaries should have the
best possible professional training and
equipment, so that the work may be OF a
high standard.
II was further resolved TO urge the vari-
GUS missionary societies to unite In estab-
fishing thoroughly equipped medical schools
in as many as possible OF the large mis-
sion centers, TO urge upon missionaries
throughout China that they seek more
energetically to combat this great evil OF
opium in every possible way, and 10 ap-
peal TO the home churches to send forth
more men and women, fully qualified and
fully consecrated to carry on and extend
this work.
Tonight Colonel r. Fl Haskell OF Boston,
Mass, presided The speakers were ]. f.
Goucher, president OF the woman's col
lege OF Baltimore, and founder OF the West
China mission and Corean mission OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, and H. IT.
Beach, educa tional secretary or the student
volunteer movement for foreign missions

TRUSTEE FOR SANTo DOMINGO
United states VIII Assume Direction
of the Finances of the Little
Republic.

SAN DOMINGO, May S.--The new treaty
between the United States and Santo Do
mingo. intended to replace the treaty
which has been pending before the United
States senate for the last two years was
ratified by the Dominican congress today.
WASHINGTON. May 3.-The Dominican
treaty marks a new departure in the rela-
tions of the United States to the smaller
republics OF the Western hemisphere for,
in the case of Santo Domingo, the United
States now becomes legally a trustee in a
financial sense. and in the discharge OF its
new duties must go so far in the preserva-
tion Of order and the accompanying dis
couragement Of revolutions as is incident
to the control of the customs houses and
the collections Of the republics revenues.
The treaty, which has Just been ratified,
was submitted to the senate February 10
last. The way had been paved by an
agreement between Federico Velasquez,
the Dominican minister OF finance. and
the creditors of the little republic whereby
the latter agreed TO a so per cent reduc-
tion in their claims II these were settled
in cash. A New York banking house un-
dertook to advance the money. for this
purpose accepting S2OOOO,OOO Of per cent
fifty-year bonds which will now be
promptly issued, with the result that all
Of the creditors on Santo Domingo will be
embodied in theis single New York firm.
The new treaty provides for the appoint
ment by the president Of the United States
Of a receiver Of customs to collect the
Dominican revenues as long as the bonds
are outstanding. a period variousy esti-
mated at from twenty to forty years.
This collector is to pay the expenses of
receivership, the interest on the bonds and
the annual sums required for amortization
Of the bonds and then turn the remainder
OF the receipts over to the Dominican gov
ernment On the first day of each month
he is to pay $4,000 to the fiscal agent of
the loan. If the customs receipts exceed
100000 annually, then one-half of the
surplus shall be applied to the sinking
fund

MANY CHINESE ARE KILLED
Twenty-One Bodies Are Recovered
After Explosion of Magazine
at Canton.

HONG KONG, May 3.-Very great de-
struction Of life and property was caused
at Canton yesterday evening by the ex-
plosion of a gunpowder magazine. Twen-
ty-one bodies already have been recovered
from the ruins. Hundreds Of persons were
injured.
Fifteen buildings were razed to the
ground and over a hundred were seriously
wrecked. A section, 200 feet long, from
the massive city wall. was thrown down.
The historical nine-story Pagoda escaped
with slight injuries The officials and
stats of the hospitals are doing their best
to succor the sufferers.
In the Shamien suburb, where the for
eigners live, a terrific shock was caused
by the explosion, but the residents were
unharmed
The city OF Canton is about six miles
In circumference and is enclosed by walls
about twenty feet thick and from twenty
five to forty feet high. There are sixteen
gates into the city, besides two water
gates. The famous nine-story pagoda,
dating from the beginning of the middle
ages, is situated in the western part Of
what is known as the old city. The for
eigners reside in the Shamien suburb,
founded in 1859 on an artificial island. The
population of Canton is estimated at about
800 600
The roofs of houses a mile distant from
the exploded magazine were blown or
A number of important Chinese and for
eign mercantile establishments were COM
pletely demolished
The bodies recovered from the ruins in
the vicinity of the magazine were shock
ingly mutlated.
Many corpses Of men and women were
without heads.
The officer in charge of the magazine was
among those killed and when his body was
recovered a pipe was found clutched in his
hand, which suggests the possible cause of
the explosion.
The financial losses are enormous.

TAFT TO BREAK SILENCE
Secretary Of War Expected to Announce
Candidacy in Oklahoma Speech.
WILL MAKE ADDRESS AT TULSA JUNE 6
Republican Convention Of that Date
May Determine Political Conn
pIeHiOn of New state for
Some Years.

WASHINGTON, May 3-Secretary Taft,
1t is expected, will break his political silence
for the first time since he has been re-
garded as a receptive candidate for the re-
publican nomination for the presidency in
speech which he will probably deliver
at Tulsa, Okl, on June g. on the occasion
OF the assembling OF the first republican
state convention. The secretary has ao-
cepted an invitation to attend that conven-
tion. 1t is not specifically stated that ne is
to make speech then, but It is not
doubted that he will do so If requested,
nor is it likely that the republicans Of the
new state will fail to extend the necessary
invitation
In Secretary Tafts opinion the political
campaign in Oklahoma will be a hot one
and will probably determine for number
Of years to come the political complexion
Of the states. The issues are expected to
be national in character and It may be
possible that Secretary Taft may find much
to say to the people Of Oklahoma, in con-
vention assembled, that will interest them
in general republican principles without in
any way bringing in the personal equation.
This visit to Tulsa will be only an Incl
dent in a considerable western trip which
Secretary Taft is about to take He prob
ably will discuss economic subjects at the
the Millers' convention at ST. Louis on the
S0th inst, which naturally would involve
illusions to the effect of the completion of
the Panama canal upon the important
American flour export trade with the west
coast of South America,
The secretary is also to make an official
tour Of inspection of the great military
posts so that he will be in a position to re-
new his efforts with congress at the next
session in behalf Of the creation of the
great brigade posts and concentration
camps with a more comprehensive knowl-
edge of the subject than he had when this
project was first broached last year.

FIFTY THOUSAND ACRES TAKEN
Result of the First Three Days Rush
at the North Platte Land
once.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., May 3.-(Special
Telegram )-Altogether on May l, and 3
los homesteads were fled which averaged
probably about 900 acres each, making in
all about $1,000 acres entered, which leaves
about 10000 acres yet to be taken. Most
Of this is more undesirable on account Of
it's character and location else It would
also have been filed upon During the
week IA homesteads have been filed upon
at the North Platte United States land
office, and during the same time there have
been nfty-four contests.
From now on the contests against the
fraudulent entry and against those entries
upon which claimants have not established
a home within six months from date Of
entry will be the principal way in which
homeseekers will secure land Many who
were unable to get their choices in the va
cant land are examining the country and
making selections of invalid entries, which
they will contest The contest will cost
from $50 to $40, but the contestants have
the assurance that when they secure the
cancellation of the entries they will get
the land, as the law allows them the prefer
ence.
A peculiar coincidence at the time Of the
rush was the appearance here Of noted cat
tie barons and their cohorts Fully eight or
ten of the principal cattle barons Of the
country thrown open were here to witness
the filings and incidentally to get all the men
they could to file upon the land for them TO
keep out the bona fide homesteaders. They
usually figure that the filing fees are cheap

hold a homestead about year, even
though it is contested six months from
date Of filing.

THOMAS COMING TO OMAHA
Taft's Going 60 philippines Delays
the Detail Here of General
Carter.
From a stan Correspondent


WASHINGTON, May 3.-(Spccial Tele-
m)-Secretary Taft's determination to
go TO the Philippines as originally planned,
Notwithstanding the Ohio situation is be-
coming more acute every day, has caused
a decided change In the time in which
the new officers are to take their stations
In the several departments of the army,
General Wood, now in command in the
Philippines it Is generally thought, will
come home leisurely, relieving General
Grant, now In command Of the Depart
ment OF the East who has been assigned
to the Department of the Lakes, relieving
Brigadier General w. H. Carter, who goes
to Omaha.
When General Wood was ordered TO pro-
ceed to the Philippines he went by the
Suez canal and examined into the military
methods Of European countries in the con-
duct of colonial possessions. He inspected
the work Of General Cromer and the Straits
Settlements. stopped in Italy, saw Con-
stanunople, investigated the work at
Egypt and the Indian British military pos
sessions and eventually assumed command
Of the Philippines division. As a result
Of that trip General Wood has placed on
file records which would make mighty in
teresting reading II 1t could be obtained.
Now General Wood is coming back, COW
ering his old tracks with a view of
strengthening former Impressions or soft
enlng them, as the case may be, relative
to the conduct OF possessions by powers
through military channels
BY reason Of Secretary Taft's determlna-
tion to go to the Philippines and General
Woods desire to receive the secretary
of war at Manila and accompany Mr.. Taft
through the islands, Il has been necessary
to change the orders regarding the COM
manders Of the several departments in the
United States, effective July l. BY reason
of the failure of General Wood to relieve
General Grant, now in command of the
Department of the East, General Carter.
at present in command OF the Department
of the Lakes, will remain there until some
little time after the first of the year, Brig
adler General Earl d. Thomas being or
dered to assume command of the Depart
ment of the Missouri Immediately. GEN
eral Thomas is now on station in Havana,
Cuba, with the Eleventh cavalry, having
been transferred from the Seventh cavalry
to the Eleventh on April q, 1903, when he
was made a colonel. General Thomas was
/ born in Illinois on January 4, 1S47, and was
appointed from that state to the military
/ academy from which he graduated In
1869.
Major General A. w. Greedy on July l.
when the northern division is discontinued
