ed with many other important matters.
While tine apprehension Of Western
senator's that the treaty might let
down the bars to coolie labor was not
entirely removed. these senators con-
tented themselves with expressing
their sulicitude.
The action Of this government IN
promptly confirming the now agree
ment is expected to do more to prove
the feeling OF cordiality that THIS
country has toward Japan than any
thing that has been done for many
years. 1t is regarded as a manifesto
tion of highest confidence In the ad-
vanced civilization Of that nation. The
effect will be to permit Japan to en-
ter at once upon Reorganization OF
its fiscal system and upon making a
new tariff with all nations.
Japan's treaties with other powers
will expire July II next. That with the
United States by reason of its later

WILL RECONSTRUCT HALL.
National House Votes Appropriation
Of $350,o00 for the Work.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The House Satur-
day appropriated $S5G,000 for the recon-
struction of the hall of the House, SO as
10 reduce its size practically TO thai OF
the Senate chamber.
The problem of reducing the size and
at the same time providing for the pro-
posed increased membership from c9l to
433 has been met by doing away with the
bulky desks and chairs. In the new
House each member will have an indi-
vidual chair, but there will be no desks.
The House also voted to install mono
rail trolley system in the subway leading
from the Capitol to the House office
building for the transportation of the
members.
Last year an effort was made to pro-
vide automobiles in the subway. but it
was voted down. Many of the members
insisted 1t would not look well to the
folks at home to provide automobiles
for their use. There was not SO much
objection to trolley cars
A proposed appropriation of SS6.000 foT
a rcfrigerating plant to cool the new
chamber of the House was defeated on
q point of order. 1t is probable the pro-
vision will be restored by the Senate. The
plant is also expected to chill water for
the House Office building. Many mem
bcrs pleaded for its passage on the
ground that it was an excellent policy to
encourage the drinking of ice water

FRESH AIR IN PNEUMONIA,
Why 1t Is of so Much Importance in
Treatment Of the Disease.

In ticking OF pneumonia to people
in general il is necessary to say and
repeat many times that pneumonia is
not bad cold run mad. for this con-
victior appears to be inyincibly lodged
il the lay mind.
Pneumonia S first, last and all the
time an acute local disease of the
lungs, which. according to the gravity
OF the case. become more or less con-
solidated or choked up. The more of
the lung tissue that is thus chokcd
the less the lungs are able to breathe
The first consequence of this helpless
ness on the part of the lungs is that
the h2art-that gallant organ-labors
to get enough blood TO keep things
going, and this is why we see the dis.
tressing rapid and shallow breathing
so characteristic of the disease.
With all the heart can do it can
only pump blood. it cannot oXygenate
it-that is the function of the lungs.
Presently, therefore, the blood stream
becomes more and more impure ow-
ing to lack of oxygen, and in those
cases ending in death one of two
things happens-either the heart gives
out entirely. unable to stand the
strain put upon it. or else the system
is overcome by toxins. that is to say
by the impurty induced by the lack
of oxygenation.
1t has been recognized that What
the pneumonis patient needs is oXy-
gen, and ve are now sure that this
is best supplied by Il direct current
of fresh air from the outside. and that
this fresh air should be the basis Of
all treatment from the very beginning.
Too often has life been lost by
failure to recognize this truth, or by
belief that rushing in canned oxy-
gen at the last moment would effect
a cure. There is less pneumonia
among country dwellers than among
city people. There is less pneumonia
arlong people who ventilate well than
among the stuffy. And there is less
pneumonia in the summer than in
the winter. because in the summer
there is a free circulation of air
through all our houses. The ideal
treatment of pneumonia is to carry
the patient into the open air and keep
him there, with proper precautions
against wind and weather. But as
this cannot always be done, the pa
tient can at least be placed in the
largest. sunniest and best ventilated
room in the house. If possible. room
with windows on two sides is much
to be preferred to one which can be
opened only to one point of the COM
pass. By system Of screening it can
always be managed that a direct cur
rent of very cold air shall not blow
right on the bed, but the air OF the
room should be constantly renewed
and always cool.
OF al! clanks the fresh air crank is
the sanest. and his reward in the
pneumonia sick room is a rich one.-

Texas. that three delegates representing
the Diaz government WISH to, meet DR..
Gomez on the border and arrange for the
termination of hostlities
Dr Gomez said that the provisional
government would not undertake any
negotiations of peace except under the
condition that the delegates shall be le-
gally and fully authorized with written
powers"
He added that the revolutionists fur
ther desire that the arrangement for
peace negotiations "bc published and rec
ognized by the federal government olii-
cially."
These steps, he explained, are necessary
because of the reputation by the federal
government of connection with the peace
conference arranged by Gov. Sanchez last
November.
DIR. Gomez asserted that the revolution
lists would insist on the abdication of the
Presidency by Diaz and that tonight he

Mr.. Littleton in his letter to Mr..

With Clubs and Weapons They
Make Haul Of IS Gents.
The Second Attempt within Month
Boys Under $500 Bond.

Eastport, Me, Feb. 2G.-HIrry 1lo-
mans and John L. Mcdonald. the boys
charged with holding up Operator e
T.. Thompson OF tie Western Union
Telegraph Co., Friday night, were Civ
en- hearing saturday Afternoon at po-
Ice headquarters before Judge Lin
coin E. Newcomb.
Both pleaded guilty Of the charge q.
larceny and were held under $500 bonds
for their appearance at the April term
of supreme court at Calais. Only 20
cents was stolen.
Two youths wearing white cioth
masks entered the Water street Office
of the Western Union about 10 o'clock
Friday evening and held up Thompson,
who was at his desk working the wire.
The burglars had no weapon, but
grabbed two sticks of wood found ia
the office and held them over his head,
demanding all the money he had and
what was in the cash draw near.
One of them moved the telephone
some distance away SO that the opera
tor could not use it, and while the op-
seat one of the bandits opened the
money drawer with Il key he had in his
pocket and counted out some small
change, which the pair took They left
about so cents.
The burglars wore caps and light over
coats and Operator Thompson recognized
one of them as boy who had formerly
been messenger in the office, and who
was known to have keys to the outside
door and cash drawer.
The police were notified after the boys
lett and Saturday morning City Marshal
William J. Wilson took charge OF the
case. He suspected Harry Homan and
John Macdonald. from the description,
and before noon had arrested iioman,
who was brought to the telegraph office
and made to confess. He implicated Mac
Donald. and said the latter had suggested
the holdup.
Less than a month ago two young men
sneaked into the same Office and one OF
them went behind the counter wearing a
similar mask. and demanded the money
from Night Operator Thompson.
A signal from the pal outside frightened
the young bandit away before any money
joke at the time and no action was taken.
Friday evenings holdup was sensational
from the fact that q number of residents
were passing along the main street on
which the telegraph office is located.
