The government is p~atrolling the

gunboatS are on either coast, carefully
observing the progress of the conflict
and being in readiness to offer aid to
Foreigners should the occasion warrant.
The administration realizes that the
Monroe doctrine cannot be regarded as
a slngle-sided principle, to be applied
only for u own benefit. We cannot
keep European countries off American
soil unless we prove Il ability to en-
force peace and insure safety to non
combatants,
1t is suggested, and we think wisely,
hat the cooperation az Mexico be in
nited with a view to Forcing a cessa-
ton OF hoStilitieS In Central America.
There are always interests ready to
laScribe selfish motives to Uncle Sam
whenever he assumes the role of paci-
t~4cator, and especially in the present
instance. Where the dispute is close
ITO the Panama canal it might be charg-
ed that we are seeking to extend our
sphere of influence. But If Mexico.
which is as vitality concerned that peace
prevail on her southern frontier as we

two nations extend their offices in an
effort to arbitrate the differences be-
tween the belligercnts, criticism would
lose its force.
And while the representatives of the
w nations are at it. should this pro-
gram be undertaken, they might as well
formulate some scheme whereby a dual
intervention will promptly follow amy
outbreak in Central America. The
numerous petty revolutions and wars
which keep that little stretch of CONT
nent in a constant ferment are enervat-
ing the of the respective re-

Mexican Earthquake Known to Have
Affected Wide Territory.
Late news from the area of destruction
in the recent Mexican earthquake shows
that the devastation wrought was greater
than az first supposed. Resides the de-
struction of the cities of Chilpancingo
and Chilapa it is now reported that the
city of Tixtla, between the two cities
above named and containing about the
same population as ChilpaRcingo, was
also levelad to the ground, and messen-
gers from the coast who have reached
Chilpancingo say that the W of Ayut-
Ia and Ometepec have been wiped off the
map. Ayutla is one of the most historic
towns in the republic.
Ometepec is farther south, near the
boundary line of the States Of Fuerrero
and Oaxaca. 1t is a town of about 1000
inhabitants and it is feared that the loss
of life here may be heavier than at
Ayutla. Tlapa. a town eighty miles west
of Chilpancingo and near the border line
OF the State of OaXaca, is also reported
| to nave been wiped out. The report from
Chilpancingo says that the whole of the
| west coast from Acapulco south to Salina
Cruz, the Pacific terminal of the Tehuan-
tepec National railway, Mexico's new
ranscontinental road, which was opened
with elaborate ceremonies last January
by President Diaz, has been badly dam
aged.
1t is reported that Acapulco is partly
submerged from the great waves which
da shed over the breakwaters. Although
no breath of wind was stirring OF the
night of the first shock, when the earth
began to tremble. the sea was dashed into
a fury and as the shocks continued the
harbor took on the appearance Of a ty-
phoon-swept ocean.
Devastation wrought by the earth
quakes is much greater than at first re-
ported. Many more than 500 are beiiev-
ed to be dead. Reports summarize the
damage as follows:

Tense Plans ega Battle.
The Standard Oil Company was found
guilty of accepting rebates from rail-
roads on it's shipments from Whiting,
Ind, in 1903, by a jury which returned
its verdict in Judge Lands court at Chi
cago Saturday, and the lawyers for the
defeated corporation plan a legal battle
that is to be ended only by the verdict
Of the United States Supreme Court.
Minimum fines amounting to $1,463,O0O
and a maximum of $40, 260,O O can be i'm
posed.
The point made by Attorneys for the
defense is that in accepting the secret re-
bate rate on its shipments of 1,463 cars
the company committed only one viola
ton and that it can be fined only $2o,-
900, the maximum for single offenses
against the Elkins law. The government
will contend that each Of the 1,463 ship
ments constituted a violation and that the
payment of a $4,000 fine would not be
commensurate with the ~offense, which net
ted the Standard a saving of $223,0OO on
the shipments.
This is the first time the Standard Oil
Company has been convicted on the
charge of accepting rebates and the dis
trict attorneys victory came at the end
of five months hare work preceding the
trial, which had lasted ~thirty-six days.
The charges involved shipments from
Whiting, Ind, to East st. Louis, ILL.,, on
which the legal rate was IS cents, the
Standard rate being 6 cents, and ship
ments to st. Louis at 17h cents, while
the legal rate was 1917 cents. Seven
more indictments are pending against the
corporation.

kilograms from twenty points in the
famine district of China report that con-
iitions are growing worse. Ten million
persons are suffering from lack of food
and are facing starvation. Members of
the relief committee at the front report
that they find the bodies of the sufferers
bloated II that their faces turn green
or black as the result of starvation. The
people are pulling up the growing crops
for food. Whole families have been
found dead in their houses and corpses
are seen lying by the roadside. Probably
5000 persons are dying daily from star
Vation. A few cases Of rioting for food
have occurred and cannibalism is begin
ming to be reported. Newly made graves
have leen robbed of bodies and parents
are exchanging their children to be eaten.
A dollar, the relief committee reports,
will save one life until the harvest, Tune

amount cannot be raised in China. The
situation is desperate and Americans are
urged to give $3,0O0,0 900. The Chinese
government and people have contributed
more than ST. 900 for relief, and the
sums received from all foreign sources
reach 100000, including supplies on the
way from America.
Fifty missionaries are engaged with
the higher class of Chinese in overseeing
the relief distribution. Confucianists,
Catholics and Protestants are working
together. The telegraph officials are car
rying messages free to and from the re-
lief works, and the steamship companies
are furnishing transportation for supplies
of food, ETC., for the sufferers. Twenty
thousand famine sufferers are employed
in building dams and canals to prevent
a recurrence of the foods.
kilograms received by the relief COM
mittee in Shanghai from a number of ad-

distress is growing worse. Some of the
sufferers are contending against fever or

Only As Per Cent.

In a paper by Henry Laurens Call, en-
"The Concentration of Wealth." read at
a meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science at Co
lumbia university, the speaker declared
that the modern corporation was respon-
sible for the concentration of the wealth
of the nation into a few hands. The cor
poration, he said, was a monstrosity, and
tt wealth of Rockefeller and other nor
meusly rich men is the product of this
vicious institution. The remedy, accord
ing to Mr.. Call, was the public ownership
of public utilities. The law must correct
the conditions brought about by the cor
poratien. 1t should be made cooperative
instead, as now, the instrument of private
creed.

DR.. e. G. Schroeder and w. e. Cotton
OF the bureau of animal industry have
reported on their extensive experiments,
which tend to show that tuberculous may
develop in the lungs, no matter through
what channels the bacilli gain entrance
to the body, and that the location of le-
sioHs in the lungs can no longer be con-
sidered as evidence that infection entered
by means of respiration. They say that
too much Importance has been attached to
the agency of dried sputum and too little
to the danger from fresh or moist tubercu.

in many ways, n of which is in the

Want the An crirauu to Stav.

Cuba has Il new political organlza-
ton, and some OF its leaders have Just
been calling on Governor Magoon. the
head of the American provisional re-
gime in Havana. lis maine is the con-
sentative national party, and it is
composed largely of the old support
ers of cX-preSidcnt Palma. Thus
Americans will see at the outset that
it represents Il majority Of the quiet,
tive and foreign.
Naturally the chief plank in the con-
sentative national party's platform is
advocacy Of the continuance of Ameri-
can sway in the island. Another plank
asks for the renewal of the commercial
treaty with us. The reason why the
continuance of the American connec-
ton is urged is that this will mean
stability and prosperity. The Cubans
are having better times than they have
had in several years past. At the out
set in Palma's regime a good deal of
new capital and labor flowed into the
island, knowing that American super

him to ask for American Intervention
and compelled him to step down.
This new party in Cuba will be sure
to attract attention in the United
States. It's appeal for the continuation
timent that the President and Congress
will have to take into the account.
Governor Magoon told the leaders OF
the new party that he would welcome
their prOffcred cooperation in manag-
ing the affairs Of the island. 1t is
plain, however, that some change in
the existing connection of Washington
with Havana will have to take place
before long. The conservative, solid
element of the people of Cuba want a
formal American protectorate, and
Congress will have to listen to their
appeal. From Il p~rOtectorate to an
nexation will be only 4 step, and, in

United States, that step will have to
be taken before many more years pass,
