The effect of the statement, both OF
the British Minister al PckiD and of

This is a position which is repudl

in England by leading British minis
tors, and by missionaries in China. The
Rev. William IL. Brewster Of the Meth

understanding is, that the Chinese gov

poppy and the manufacture of opium in
China, if Great Britain Will agree TO
stop the importation of opium from

oscillates between the one and the

the initiative for reform comes from
pagan China, and is resisted by Chris
tian England.

TUBERCULIN TESTS.

1T will be remembered that there was
n good deal of complaint last year in
different parts of Utah, based upon
the killing Of apparently sound, healthy,
and fat cattle, on the theory that they
were victims of tuberculosis. The oh.
scurty of this disease is such that the
animal may appear 10 be in perfect
health and condition, and still he

cause of the danger TO healthy ami
mails that would ensue from its herdlng
with them. There we're not wanting Mt
that TING good many protestatlons
that perfectly healthy animals had been
killed. and TO such protestabons the
reply was as above. We note, how
ever, that in New Jersey cattle.owners
who have had their cattle killed be
cause of alleged tuberculosis affection,
have not submitted quietly TO the loss.
Seven cows were taken to the abattoir
at Kearney, y. j., and the tuberculin
tests and other tests were applied to
the COWS The result was that six of

animals were thereupon ordered to be
killed The seventh cow was found by
the inspectors TO be perfectly health
full, so they attached the State tag oil
approval to her, leaving the slaughter
house management to do as 1T pleased
about killing her.
But it seems there was some sus-
picion aroused as TO these tests, and the
Veterinary Medical Association of New
Jersey sent To the Kearney abattoir
Doctor Michael j. Hastings, Federal in
spector Of cattle, who demanded TO see
the carcasses of the six condemned
COWS alleged to be infected with tuber-
culosis He applied the Agricultural
Department tests, and announced to
those present, including, rs the report

IT is all the more remarkable that

DYNAMITE CASE WILL BE
HEARD BY IA JURORS
Provision of the State Law to Be In
voked to Guard Against Any
Illness.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. l0.--When the
Mcnamara murder trial opened yester-
day the prosecution was prepared to ex-
ercise its option of further examination
Of j. B. Sexton, a real estate dealer
and member Of the city council
Sexton was accepted as to cause on
Wednesday by attorneys defending
James B. Mcnamara. The state took
UP the examination along the line OF
belief in eircumstantial evidence.
Questioned by Horton, Sexton said he
was opposed to conviction upon circum-
stantial evidence alone, but that if he
were convinced by such evidence that
Mcnamara was guilty he thought he
would vote for conviction.
With three men in the jury box, the
question Of additional jurors has arisen
and a member of counsel for the state
said definitely that IA men would hear
the case. This is possible under the
California law. The defense admitted
yesterday the possibility of test of
this law.
The prosecution pointed out that if
none OF the II jurors died or became
incapacitated otherwise, the extra two
would not make any legal difference as
neither would be allowed to take part
in the deliberations. If any juror should
drop out, the state ordinarily would
have to begin all over again.

The reason for the loS, average of

is anxious to better his or her condition
obtain from one of our distributing sta

Practical experience has proved that
by using the work as an error eliminator

resentatives. He had no machine, he
says, so he was forced to keep in direct
relations with the people. lie writes;
Immediately following my election TO

for keeping my commitments informed on

ices in Congress; it is the system | have

There were five counties in my dis
trict, La Fayette, Grant, Green, Dane
and Iowa. / secured from the county

voters who had voted in the last election.

sheets, one township, sometimes two, TO

friend in each county, who filed in all
the information he could, Indicating es-
pecially the strong men in each com
munity-those who were leaders Of SEN
timent. To this information ! added the
results of my own acquaintance in the
district. This gave me complete de-
scriptive pool list of my district.
when some congressman made a
speech on sound money-Reed or Car

ASK PRIVILEGES OFFERED
To Canada Under Reciprocity-Refer to
Wood Pulp and Paper Section
These Under Agreement Come
Free to This Country.

Washington, Nov. doorway and
Sweden, through their diplomatic repre-
sentatives, have requested the United
States to grant them, under the favored
nations clause of their treaties, the same
privileges given to Canada by section
2 of the reciprocity agreement, by which
wood pulp and print paper are admitted
free of duty into the United States.
Several other countries, including Ger
many il is believed, have asked the
same privilege from the United States.
Those requests place formally before the
United States the question of whether
wood pulp and print paper can be ad-
mitted free from other countries than
Canada under the favored nation clauses
in the existing treaties between the
United States and those countries. Off
cials of the state department are in con-
sultation on the subject with officials of
the customs service of the treasury de-
partment and final decision win not be
made until these conferences have been
concluded Under section OF the Ca
madam reciprocity agreement, print pa
per and wood pulp were given free entry
to the United States. This section Of
the bill became effective July / last,
independent of the passage OF the law
by Congress, and its operation was not
dependent upon ratification of the agree
ment by Canada.

it all myself! I'll show them they
can't run over me-not quite" Then,
still muttering and mumbling, he
wrapped himself in his dressing gown,
reached for the crutches and swayed
and staggered across to the door.
The squire sat down heavily upon
the second step Of the broad stairway
and began craftily going up backward.
He lifted himself from tread to tread,
then drew the clutches after him. By
some whim he had kept his desk and
all bis papers in the big south cham
Der that had been his wife's. He was
going there now. If he lived to come
back from it he would leave behind a
new win, one that would come near to
disinheriting his rebellious child. 1t
would do mare than that. 1t would
set forth her rebellion, her neglect Of
him, in such fashion as TO shame her,
here where honor to parents was so
vital part of decency.
Painfully, with set teeth and agon-
feed twinges, he won to his goal and
sat in front of the opened desk. He
found the win readily and tore it
through angrily, then wrote upon the
biggest fragment, This is the work
of neglected father
But all this had taken time, and
dusk was falling rapidly.
He snatched up fresh sheet and
began to write, but the racing dark
ness was too quick for him. Before
he was half through he stopped and
looked about him. full of thwarted,
impotent rage. He flung out his hand
and struck it against a taper which
had lain there so long he had forgot
ten it, By its feeble light he finished
the new viii and signed his name with
a heavy, serawling flourish.
Slowly, heavily he got up and tried
to steady himself while he put the
crutches in place, but sharp twinge
made him stagger. He lost balance
and fell prone, overturning the lighted
taper and bringing it in contact with
the contents Of an open drawer. They
blazed up merrily In a wink the
whole room was ablaze. As he lay
helpless he saw the flames lick at the
carvings on top Of the. desk. Then In
