That Oue American rofests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

LINER SUNK
Canadian Pacific Railway Co.'S Oriental Liner Empress Sank
 Last Night
A MYSTERY INVOLVED

Portland, Ore, Oct 24.-A special dispatch to the Oregonian, from Van- couver, B. C., says;
 "The Canadian Pacific Railway Co.'S oriental liner, Empress of China, sank last evening along the wharf in this port. Her sea cocks must have been open, but how no one seems able to ascertain"
 Her main deck in the port side was awash in several feet of water. She sank and keeled over on her port side so that the main deck is now, at an angle of about 45 degrees. Her engines and dynamos are under water. She is resting on a mud bot tom, but the problem of saving her will be that of fighting the vessel and preventing her from completely turning turtle.
 Just after 6 o'clock the steward noticed that the water was coming in over the lower deck. All day the liner had been loading flour, 500 or GOO tons of which is being slowly turned into paste in the hold. h. stantly the steward gave the alarm. Officers at dinner hurried to their stations. All hands manned the pumps, but it was too late to save her from sinking and every person went ashore. She continued to list and sink and by s o'clock her port stern was resting on the bottom of the harbOr the tons of the masts leaning over the wharf extending to the gables of the big freight sheds. Just before o'clock the engineers in charge of the dynamos left their posts and came ashore. All lights were turned off. She sank at nearly high tide and the starboard side of the main deck is still about ten feet above water. The steamer is valued at approximately million dollars"

GALLERY PLAYS
Ex-ComptroIler of inc Currency Davis Makes Sharp Attack
 on Attorney General
TRIED IN NEWSPAPERS

Chicago, Oct 24-Delegates to the National Civic Federation convention today were eagerly discussing re- marks made at the meeting of last night by Charles G. Dawes, eX-conl- ptroller of the currency.
 MT Dawes made a sharp attack upon the federal department of jus tice, virtually charging the office of the attorney general with making gallery plays" He said in part:
 T cannot say that it is intentional on the part of the department of jus tice, but some of it's actions look re- markedly as if favoritism was being displayed in the selection of the con- binations to be investigated, and in the manner of attack.
 Tt is inevitable that the man who does things is in the public eye and an attack upon him will always win publicity. It is remarkable that the cases handled by the department of justice are always tried in the news papers before they get into the courts"
 The speaker also criticised the magazine writers who he said made practice of attacking the men who accomplished great things in the mer- cantile and financial world.

NO HOLY WAR
An International Strife is Prom. iSed Between Three BrOih-
 CTS in Morocco.

Paris, Oct. 24.-Mulai Hafid, sul. tan of the south of Morocco, is quot. ed in an interview at Morocco City Oct. 19, published here to-day, as in, slsting that he had not declared 2 holy war against the foreigners, but against his brother, Sultan Abd-El Aziz, who, he added, was ruining the country and gradually delivering il over to foreigners. Mulai Hafid is quoted as saying:
 If France wishes security fol property in Morocco, she must remain neutral"
 When the dispatch giving the inter. view was forwarded, Mulai Hafid was reported to be on the point of leaving Morocco City to give battle to Abd-El. Azlz, first going to Mogador, Safi and Mazagan, to gather the tribesmen to. gether. He expected that with the Chaouias he would have 10000 tc 25,OO0 warriors under his banner in a short time.
 A special dispatch from Tangier says that Mohammed, another brother of Abd-El-Aziz, acting in conjunction with emissaries sof Mulai Hafid, has raised the population of Fez, the northern capital, against the govern. ment of Morocco.

ROOSEVELT ON FUSION,
President Wasn't Consulted and Has
 Not Approved of It.

Washington. Oct 24.-Friends of President Roosevelt who have been very curious for various reasons to find out whether the president had q hand in the republican-H Hearst fusion in New York were able to say last night, within a few hours after the presidents return to Washington from his western and southern trip, that it could be said that AIr Roosevelt was not consulted by Herbert Parsons or anybody else in regard to the fusion and that he knew nothing of it until 1t was an accomplished fact.
 These friends of the president said also that Mir Roosevelt was not in clined to make any comment on the fusion which Mir Parsons had effect ed. His attitude. as they understood it, was that as the thing had been done it would be idle for him to make any comment. What he would have said had he been consulted with reference to the fusion before it be- came an accomplished fact, the presi- dent did not indicate. but there was enough in his manner when he talked of the general subject of the fusion to show that his well known antipathy to Mir Hearst had not undergone a change. It was apparent that the president is dissatisfied with the course of those republicans who helped en- gineer the fusion.

Stamford Oct 24.-The second days convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance union of the state opened to-day with a. praise service, and the principal work of the morning session was the presen- tation of department reports.

She then took up the work carried on in the schools and among the inn migrants. In speaking of the unions efforts at the Soldiers home in Noroton, Mrs Buell. said that so far nothing had been accomplished there and added: "A continual dripping will wear away stone, so we must keep on making efforts till at least we shall succeed in getting some temperance work there among the old soldiers"
 Mrs Buell. made plea for woman suffrage and said that many women in the state want it. She hoped it would eventually come. Mrs Buell. spoke highly of the temperance work carried on during the last state cam paign and said that prohibition is more in the thoughts of, the people than ever before.

BRYAN DEFENDS PRESIDENT.
Don't Blame Roosevelt For Crash,
 Says the Nebraskan.

Binghamton, N Y.,. Oct 24.-"I mo- tice that one of the officers of the bank that closed its doors attributed it to President Roosevelt. That is not the reason. Don't blame the sheriff, but the horse thief. Don't blame the off cials who make and enforce the laws, but blame the criminals who make necessary such laws. Blame the un- scrupulous financiers who have piled up predatory wealth and who exploit a whole nation as high finance"
 So spoke William Jennings Bryan in the railroad station here when crowd called on him for speech. He sup ported President Roosevelt's assertion that his policy of prosecuting dishon- est financiers could not be blamed for the New York financial trouble since the deeds of those financiers were at the seat of the trouble.

BANKS OF COUNTRY SOUND.
Comptroller of Currency Says Situa'

NComptroller of Currency Says Situa-
 tion Is Satisfactory.
 Washington, Oct. 24.-Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely gave out state meht saying the general feeling indi- cates an absolutely sound situation. and there is not the slightest need of apprehension about the banks and trust companies of the country.
 The banks of the reserve cities, the comptroller declares, have every dispo- sition to leave their balances in New York and other central reserve cities, and he attributes the trouble in New York to the condition of few con- cerns discredited by the operations of their officers and to the different prices of stocks and securities as between New York city and the country banks.

A LONG HATRED.

A very significant statement was
made in the Russian Duma at the time
of the vote on the army estimates. The
Polish members, whose feelings against
the army are extreme, and who were
outspoken in their denunciations of the
uses to which it had been put, sup
ported the measure, declaring that they
did so for no other reason than to pre-
vent Germany from invading the coun-
try This anti-German feeling in Po-
land dates from the middle of the
eighteenth century. and is evidence Of
how long racial sentiment may be
preserved unchanged. The Poles are
as bitter against Germany as they
were in the days Of Frederick the
Great This is an illustration of the
intangible something which holds ma
tfons together.
