A REMARKABLE CASE.
Elderly Woman in a Brooklyn Hospi- tai Is Stricken with a Very
 Rare Disease.

New York, Sept. 11.-Physicians at the Kings county hospital, Brooklyn, have there the most remarkable case of that rare disease, elephantiasis. The patient is Mrs .Juliette Felt of Brooklyn, widow, @ years old. Be- fore she was attacked by the disease she weighed 40 pounds. She now weighs 525 pounds, and is gaining daily in size. Her skin is thick, hard and coarse, like an elephants. The disease first manifested itself seven years ago. Two years ago she found she weighed S60 pounds, and then in alarm she resorted to medicines and dieting, but these measures were of no avail. A week ago a physician di- agnosed her trouble as elephantiasis. An idea of the effect of the disease may be judged from the fact that each of her legs is as large in cir conference as the body of well de- veloped man. The doctors do not yet know whether she will recover.

Hawken and Nation submit proof that they were refused tickets and were prevented from going from Council Bluffs to Fremont. The railway off cials claim that the interstate traffic demands that the local passengers be barred. A hearing will be granted

IHAI BHLMGHAN AFFAIR
Great Britain Will Likely Make an International Question of Hin
 du Incident.
STATE DEPARTMENT IS EMBARRASSED
Federal Government Has No Power .o enter State to Prosect Foreigners m Their Treaty Rights--ciaims for Damages to IndevduaI Hindus May Be Presented.

| N Washington, Sept. S.-While no in
 formation of an official character has
 reached the state department as vet
 concerning the summary and violent expulsion of the Hindus from Belling. ham, Wash, Thursday, it is confident. l ly expected that if the fact were as | ported In the press, Ambassador Bryce
 will soon be heard from. The British government takes pride above all things In protecting the lives and prop erty of it's subjects so it is expected that as soon as the British consular officer who is reported to be looking into the matter has completed his in. vestigation, and communicated with the summer home of tho British em. bassy at Intervals, N. H., formal com. plaint will be lodged with the state department. It is believed that the task of Investigating this matter will fall upon Oscar Klocloer, the British yice-consul at Port Townsend as being probably the nearest consul officer to the scene of the incident The state department is always embarrassed in dealing with incidents of this charac- ter owing to the fact to which the at tention of congress has often been called that the national government and even the United States courts are not clothed with the authority to en- ter the confines of a state even to pro- tect foreigners in their treaty rights. All that the state department can do in such case as that at Bellingham is to follow the well-worn precedents established in Wyoming, Louisiana, California and elsewhere in cases where foreigners have been mobbed or killed. That is the department in the name of the president may ad- dress the government of Washington. transmitting perhaps the complaint of the British embassy if there should be one, and requesting him to take steps to prevent reoccurrence of the trouble. Such appeals have generally oeen effective and doubtless would be in this case notwithstanding the radi- cal following which appears to have been engendered and which always adds very much to the difficulty of the officials in adiuging matters on prop CT basis. Probably in the end claims for damages sustained by the indi- vidual Hindus who were beaten or driven away from lucrative employ ment will be preferred. The British government for it's part, is likely to find itself embarrassed in dealing with the Bellingham incident because of the ever present danger of similar at tacks upon the east Indians, who are numerous in British Columbia, so that f this case is presented with undue strength and insistance the precedent
 established might be troublesome to ,he imperial officials. In turn they will be called upon to pay damages
 or injuries to persons and property
 ustained by the Hindus who are Brit
 h subjects, at the heads of British
 )lonists.

ADS EXCLUSION TREATY
Recent Anti-Asiatic Riots in Van cover Has Bearing on Amer
 ican Negotiations.
IS JUDGMENT OF DIPLOMATIC CORPS
fhe General Belief Is That a Treaty IS NOW in sight Between the Two countries - Japanese Governme nt cannot Discriminate Between the United States and Great Britain.

washington, Sept. 11.-That a stringent exclusion treaty between America and Japan is measurably nearer realization than the most op- timistic administration official could nave believed 48 hours ago is the judgment of the members of the dip- lomatic corps here. This long sought object is expected to be attained per. haps as an indirect result of the mobbing the Japanese at Vancouver. in British Columbia, last Saturday night. Officials here deplore what they view as an unfortunate and un- warranted infraction of the treaty rights of the Japanese, but they do not Tall to perceive at once the i'm portant bearing that this incident will probably have upon the negotiations between the state department and the Japanese ambassador, looking to the drafting of treaty that shall limit the incoming of Japanese coolies. in. stead of allowing the subject to be dealt with in the present loose fash ion by what amounts to semi-official undertakings on the part of the Jap anese government to withhold pass ports to coolies in coming directly to the United States.
 The belief that treaty is now within sight is based on the convic tion of officials that the Japanese gov. ernment will now be brought face to face with the fact that as it cannot discriminate between Great Britain and America in the matter of de mands for fair treatment for it's sub jects, and must by this time be con vinced that the problem presented is really racial one, the only solution will lie in the formal recognition by Japan of the right to restrict coolit immigration, not only in America, but in British Columbia, Australia and other british colonies To take any other view. it is pointed out here. would mean a breach of the. alliance with England, of which the Japanese have been so proud, and which development of their ambitious schemes for the exploitation of tho East. For, though the British gov ernment may, and doubtless will, apologize for the Vancouver affair, and even pay an indemnity, repeti tion of the incident is believed to be almost certain unless the British gov ernment yields to the demands of tho British Columbians in the matter oi restricting Japanese immigration. As a matter of fact, negotiations are al ready on foot between the British and the Japnnese governments to regulate the influx of coolie labor into tho British colonies. The Vancouver in. cident will, it is believed here, hasten these negotiations to a conclusion. and if Japan enters into treaty rela- tions of that kind with Great Britain it cannot refuse to do so with Amer lea. So that there is after all pros pect that Secretary Root and Ambas' sador Aoki will soon again be in con ference on this subject.
