the disappearance was so little suction
as to be hardly appreciable from the

The three Frenchmen say they were

Philadelphia. when a great crunching
mass of ice packed up against the port
holes AS they rushed out there was
much confusion but this quickly died
down. One OF the officers when ques-

Presently the captain appeared to be-

all to put on life preservers. The boats
were then lowered but only few peo-

looked some one whispered that there

The second officer finally ordered
one man to look behind. The slipping
OF one man would have meant the
death probably OF all of us. The man
who looked passed the word that there

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause Injury

If you are subject to constipation;
YOU should avoid strong drugs and

they come in contact.

considered that a meeting Of the con-

The meeting was held this afternoon
and all the consuls attended. 1t was
unanimously decided that the question
was not political, but merely one OF po-
Icing, and, In consequence, they re-
ferred the question again to the mill
tary commanders to take what steps
they considered fit.
The question of what action should
be taken was some what complicated by
the reported threat Of the old-style
troops stationed near Teu Tsin, TO pill
Iage the foreign concessions tonight. The
foreign forces are already severely de-
peted by the dispatch of drafts of Brit
