ent steamship lines on the Pacific is seri-
ously threatened by the foreign subsidized
lines. Our communications with the mar
Sets of Asia and with our own possessions
in the Philippines, no less than our COM
munications with Australia, should depend
not upon foreign. but upon our own steam
ships. The southwest and the northwest
should alike be served by, these lines. and if
this is done they will also give to the Mis-
sissippi valley throughout it's entire length
the advantage of all transcontinental rail-
ways running to the Pacific coast. To fail
to establish adequate lines on the Pacific
is equivalent to proclaiming to the world
that we have neither the ability nor the
disposition to contend for our rightful
share of the commerce of the orient; nor
yet to protect our interests in the Philip
pines. 1t would surely be discreditable for
US to surrender to our commercial rivals the
great commerce of the orient, the great
commerce we should have with South
America. and even our own communications
with Hawaii and the Philippines.

some law like the bill in question.

The tardy explanation of Gov

flee in London, it is admitted, but
will not be made public at present,
if at all, the British government
assuming the attitude that it is a

to number 1000, with a property

LONDON, January 23.-The government
here has heard from Gov. Swettenham of
Jamaica concerning the incident involving
the withdrawal of the American warships
from Kingston. Absolute secrecy Is main
tanned at the colonial Office but the fact
was ELECTED that during the night a good
many kilograms were received from SWEET

dent. These, 1t is understood, confirm the
main features of the affair as already
known. 1t Is not the present intention of
the colonial Office to make the kilograms
public, the official view being that it is
personal affair between a government de-
partment and an official, which is properly
adjustable between them, and the authori-
ties incline to the view that general inter-
ests will best be served by having the re-
plies appear in a blue book at some distant
period. in the meantime being dealt with
through the usual diplomatic channels for
intercourse between power and power.
At the foreign office it was admitted that
the kilograms from Swettenham referred to
the incident. but it was added that thew
are not regarded as being the governors re-
ply to the request of the secretary of the
colonies, the Earl of Elgin for his version
OF the affair. The foreign Office officials saw
that no statement can be made at present
as they desire to have all the facts the
governor wishes to present before shapine

Premature burial,


Statistics have been prepared to show
that i'm Europe out of every 100 sup
posed deaths one person is resuscitat
ed. Although members of the medical
profession refuse to take any interest
in the matter, it is probably true, says
Suggestion, that many persons are
buried while in state of suspended
animation. 1T Is stated that in the
cemetery just outside the town of Wei
mar there is special provision made
against the danger of premature burial
from suspended animation. No bodies
are placed in the ground until they
have spent u considerable time in a re-
ceiving vault. In the fingers of the
corpse are placed strings which com
municate With an alarm. The least

INTESTINAL INDIGESTION.

Its Symptoms md the Way 1t Should
he Treated.
1t was formerly thought that the
stomach was the main organ of diges
ton. and dyspepsia was supposed al
ways to have it's seat there. But this
question has been much studied of
late, with the result that the stomach
has been found to be of little account
comparatively in the preparation of the
fool for absorption. The most impor-
tant part OF digestion occurs in the up
per part of the intestine, where the
food. after leaving the stomach, is
churncd and mixed thoroughly with
the bile and pancreatic secretion.
Since, then, the intestine takes such
an important part in digestion, it is
natural to suppose that a failure to
perform this function properly would
five rise to serious disturbances of
health, and such, in fact, is the case.
Intestinal indigestion is not uncom-
mon affection at all periods of life
