The question of provisioning the relief
Force Is already difficult, and it is predict
ed at Shanghai that It will fcecome acute.

ADVICES FROM COXGEIU
American Minister Reports the Sltn
ntion Unimproved.
WASHINGTON. June 13. A cablegram
has been received at the State Department
from Minister Conger, at Pekin. stating
that Tuan, the father of the heir appar
ent, has been appointed president of the
Tsung II Yamun; alo that three other
new ministers have been appointed: all
affiliated with the party opposed to for
eigners. On the whole. Mr. Conger re
ports the rftuation is not materially Im
proved. Guards are repairing the railway,
and as soon as they have arrived at Pe
kin. it is Mr. Conger's belief that the
safety of the foreigners at that capital
will be assured.
Official dispatcher received in diplomatic
quarters here show that the rioting in
Pekin has reached an acute stage, with
the rioters directing a number of their
assaults against the member? of the dif
ferent foreign legations there.
One of these dlrpatchcs staes that the
secretary of the Belgian Legation was
attacked twice on Monday, and escaped
after being maltreated by the mob. On
the some day two officials of the British
Legation, serving as student Interpreters,
were attacked by a large mob of roughs.
The young Englishmen held the attacking
party back for a while, but when the
mob threatened to clo. in on them they
drew their revolvers, and by show of
force made their retreat without bodily
Injury.
About the same time the British Sum
mer quarters, about four miles from
Pekin, were burned down. The quarter?
were quite extensive, and had jut been
completed. They belonged to the British
Government, and not to .Sir Claude Mac
Donald, the -British Minister at Pekin.
which gives added significance to the dep
redation. The killing of the chancellor
of the Japanese Legation at Pekin. Sug
yama Aklra. te not referred to In official
dispatches received here, but full credit
Is given to this report by Japanese offi
cials who are personally acquainted with
Mr. Aklra and with many of the circum
stances detailed.
The killing of a member of the diplo
matic body and the foregoing assaults
upon officials of foreign countries are re
garded ns representing the most serious
phase of the situation that has thus far
occurred.
The Navy Department has been In
formed that the Yorktown sailed yester
day from Shanghai for Che Foo. The
United States- Consul at Che Foo Informed
the Sta- Department yesterday of a
Boxer disturbance at that place, but no
particulars were furnished. Che Foo Is on
the northern coast of the Shan Tung
Peninsula.
The State Deoartment has heard noth
ing officially about the reported killing of
the American missionary and the Japan
ese Secretary of Legation. The news of
the killing of the first American mission
ary caused a shock at the department, as
It is realized hat thla adds greatly to
the gravity of the problem awaiting set
tlement by the department.
CHANGE OF FROXT.
Empress Dnwnscr Doe "Sot Object
to Presence of Forelprn Troop.
WASHINGTON. June 13. Definite offi
cial information was.,.recelved here this
afternoon frcea tthaKflaelgn Office of one
of the most important Continental pow
ers, stating that the Tsung 11 Yamun had
notified the Minister of that power at
Pekin that the Empress Dowager would
not object to the presence of foreign
troops In Chinese territory. Vague unof
ficial rumors to this effect had been cur
rent, but tho information received here
today was from such a high official source
as to leave no doubt that the Eirpre3
Dowager, who practically constitutes the
Government of China, had made known
thU determination not to object to the
presence of the foreign troops.
This change of front came as a distinct
surprise to the officials and diplomats, as
all the reports up to this time had pic
tured the Empress Dowager as Intensely
hostile to the foreigners, and as the real
power behind the Boxers anti-foreign
uprlelng. This supposed attitude of the
Empress gave much concern to the au
thorities here, and at othr capitals, a
It was feared it would eventuate In an
open declaration by the Government of
China against the presence of foreign
troops. This would have raised a new
complication, placing the foreign forces
now advancing on Pkln In the attiude
of resisting the sovereign authority of
China over her own territory. Instead ot
assisting China In a suppression of dis
order. The Empress Dowasor s acquiescence In
the plans of the powers Is felt to remove
a threatened complication, and at the
same time to give evidence that the Em
press Dowager is no longer jleldlng to
the anti-foreign- clamor.
CIVILIZATION or CHINA.
It "Will Mrnn Butchery of the N'n
tltr. Snj Protfusor Smith.
TORONTO. Ont-. June 13. Professor G.
C. Smith, discussing the situation in
China, was asked what he thought about
the- attitude of the European powers, to
ward that power.
"If any people in the world have a
right to a country." said Professor
Smith, "the Chinese surely have a right
to the country which they are believed
to have inhabited for 4009 years. It Is too
probable that China will be the next
scene of butchery and havoc In the abue3
name of civilization. Fighting seems. Id
fact, to haw already begun."
Would not the result of a war ther
be increased progress where progress and
civilisation have been slow?" was asked.
"The Chinese are at least partly civ
ilized; they are industrious in the high-
est degree. Though their general moral
ity may be weak, their Industrial morality
Is exceptionally etrong. There istno rea
son why the pacific influences of com
merce and intercourse should not act upon
them as they have acted on the Japanese,
who half a century ago might have been
deemed proper subjects for philanthropic
aggression."
"You think, then, that there Is a motive
for the advance on China?"
"The great predatory powers are divid
ing China Into what. In the cant language
of their territorial rapacity, are called
'spheres of Influence,' " was the reply.
"That Is to say, they are staking it out
for conquest with the intention. If the
people resist, of mowing them down. A
fearful vista of slaughter and desolation
may presently open. The population of
China is roughly estimated at 400,000 0M.
The people are fanatically hostile to for
eigners, as in truth, considering the opium
wars, they have too much reason to be."
"Would the Chinese be a match for a
modern equipped army?"
'Though singularly unmllltary, they are
utterly reckless of life. At the same time
they are totally unprovided with all mod
ern appliances of war and In the case of
a conflict they would be butchered by
the millions."
"What about the missionaries in Chi
na?" he was asked.
"One thing Is clear all the missionaries
should be compelled at once to withdraw
to place of security, or If they choose
heroically to remain In posts of danger,
they should be warned that they do this,
as did the early missionaries, at their
own risk. It 1? monstrous that a religion
of peace and good will should be mad,
as too often It has Been In the hands
of 'ts Indiscreet apostles, a brand for
kindling the flames of murderous war."
"WorUInr In Ilnrmony.
NEW YORK. June 13. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
There is a general feeling In diplomatic
circles that the European powers have
been united by the dismissal of Prince
Ching, and that In the purging of the
Tsung 11 Yamun of all Its moderate men
the Empress Dowager has gone over to
the Boxers, bag and baggage, and that
the powers hax'e been forced to co-operate
In the restoration of order at Pekin, even
If the services of Russian troops are re
quired. Talleyrand's "good Europeans" have re
appeared upon the cene, and have dropped
their jcaloukl'-s and suspicions. A mixed
force of 2000 marines will be inadequate
if Pekin should be in the possession of the
Boxers, and If the Insurrection spreads
from province to province. The Russians
will go in with a European mandate and
probably will have as many reasons for
remaining as the English had found useful
and necessary in Egypt-
Methodist Missionary Murdered.
NEW YORK, June 13. News has been
received in this city of the murder of
Dr. Edna G. Terry, In charge of the sta
tion of the Methodist Episcopal Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society at Tsung Hua,
China.
The tidings came in the following mes
sage to Dr. Terrj's brother-in-law: "Dr.
Terry murdered. Break news gently."
This was the first Indication of trouble at
Tsung Hua.
Later the Methodist Episcopal Board re
ceived this message, dated Tien Tsin.
June 12: "Hopkins and Hayne are safe."
Tho persons named are missionaries at
Tsung Hua. There Is one other Meth
odist missionary at the same place, a Miss
Oroucher, of Boston. Tsung Hua is six or
seven ml'es north of the great wall and
about 1X) miles from Pekin.
Japan's Attltnde.
LONDON. June 13. In regard to the re
ports that Japan is about to declare war
on China, It was learned by a representa
tive of the Asboclated Press at the Jap

the Japanese in the Chinese crlils is to
co-operate loyally with the European
powers. In the existing situation Japan
would not be willing to see any slngle

Ills Little Joke.
Wl'l N. Harben is rather serious in dis
position, but he cannot resist the temp
tation to play an occasional practical
joke- A few years ago he and a literary
friend had taken chambers in London
near the British museum. One day this
friend came home with a tired look on
his face and said that he had been fright
fully bored for half a day by a stranger
from Chicago, who Insisted upon telling
him ah about his success In Inventing
and selling In America and England a
certain wall-aper hanger. The stranger
was described as freckle-faced and short,
and possessing a squeaking voice.
A few days after thla. while looking at
the pictures in the South Kensington
museum. Mr. Harben was accosted by a
man who so thoroughly fitted the descrip
tion of the loquacious bore that he knew
at once that he had met the same man.
says the Saturday Evening Post.
Mr. Harben determined that he would
not submit to the man's familiarity, and
when asked if he were an American he
answered frigidly that he was.
"What are you doln' over here?"
"What am I doing?" asked Harben. try
ing to summon up some cutting reply.
"Reahy. my business Is such a peculiar
one that I never speak of it to any one."
"Oh. come off," laughed the Chlcagoan;
"what is it?"
Harben stared at the red face for a
moment and then said: "I'm a mind
reader." Then the stranger laughed boisterously.
"I don't believe In such nonsense."
"Oh, you don't?" remarked Harben.
"Well. I could convince you in a minute
if I wished to. I could teSl where you
are from, what your huslness was In
America, and what you are doing over
here."
Tho stranger laughed again. "I'd like
to see you do It." he said.
"Well." continued the author: "you are
from Chicago: you Invented a wall-paper
hanger and made a lot of money out of
It In America: you are Introducing your
invention here and have started out wel'..
but my Impression is that you will lose
all your fortune In England."
The stranger paled and his eyes were
starting from his head. "How did you
know that?"
"I'm a mind-reader." said the joker.

DELEGATES PROM SOUTH
POWER. TOO GREAT IN REPUBLICAN
CONVENTIONS.
Committeeman Payne "Will Endeavor
to Have Representation
Made Equitable.
It Is said to be the purpose of H. C
Payne. Wisconsin's member of the Repub
lican National committee, to reopen the
fight for a revision of the rules of the
Republican organization so as to provide
an equitable scheme of representation in
National conventions. Under the present
system, many of the Southern States are
enabled to send much larger delegations
to National conventions than some of the
great Republican states of the North.
They therefore exercise an undue and
unfair Influence in the matter of the nom
ination of candidates for President and
the Vice-Presidency. This rule has for
years been the subject of much criticism.
The efforts of Committeeman Payne to
change the rule upon this matter have
met with favor among leading Republi
cans of the country who are not Influ
enced by personal or factional interests.
There Is not likely to be occasion for
friction on this issue in the approaching
convention, although It is possible that a
condition of affairs may arise In the con
test over the Vice-Presidential nomination
which will demonstrate the unfairness of
the present system of representation.
It Is declared to be wrong that states
which are absolutely controlled by the
Southern Democrac3' should have a great
er number of delegates than stalwart Re
publican states and should be permitted
to outvote and nullify the sentiment of
such states in Republican National con
ventions. In order to clearly present the facts of
the case and show the unfairness of the
present representation. Committeeman
Payne has had tabulated the totals of
the vote polled for the McKlnley electors
in 1S96; a list showing the number of dele
gates to which each state Is entitled under
the present system of two delegates-at-large
for each United States Senator, and
two deltgates for each member of the
House of Representatives, also a list giv
ing the number of delegates each state
would have If the National delegates were
apportioned according to the Republican
vote of the respective states, and a list
giving the representation which each
state would have under the resolution that
Mr. Payne has prepared for adoption by
the Republican National committee for
recommendation to the National conven
tion. Here Is -Mr. Payne's tabulated statement
which has been forwarded to each mem
ber of the Republican National commit
tee, that he may be prepared to act upon
the matter at the coming meeting:

Mr. Payne's resolution, which sets forth
that the present system Is "unjust and
unequal." calls for a rule under which
each state Is to be entitled to four dele-gates-at-large
and one additional dele
gate for each 10.CO0 votes cast at the pre
ceding Presidential election, or majority
fraction thereof, and four delegates from
each organized territory and the District
of Columbia.

Jokes on the Actors.
Joe Jefferson was asked by Success
what he considered the most amusing ex
perience of his stage career, particularly
in connection with his famous "Rip Van
Winkle."
"The most amusing Incident connected
with this play," he said, "was the receipt
0f a letter from a citizen in a small town
j where we had played the night before.
j He said he had enjoyed the performance
j exceedingly and wquld not have missed it
for anything in the world. It might ba

MORE ROULETTE PLAYED.
Faro Is on the Decline, and There
Are Fewer Biff Gamlilers.
"I am frequently in gambling-houses"
said the manufacturer of fine cabinet fur
niture, "but, notwithstanding, I have
never ventured a cent In a game of chance
in my life."
"Just like to go and look on? huggesred
a friend.
"Indeed I do not," returned the manu
facturer, with some sharpness. "It is busi
ness pure and simple which takes me into
such places: and that business I transact
as soon as possible and get out. The
more gambling, though, going on the more
money I make, which may be said of sev
eral other men in my line. It's an ill
wind which blows nobody good, and by
that token, when gambling Is flourishing,
more and more Implements are reqw.jd.
These are supplied-by the makers of line
cabinet furniture, and our business Is a
sort of gambler's barometer. You can
always correctly estimate the amount of
gaming going on in the country by tne
number of orders- which we cablnet-mak;rs
have to fill."
"What's the state of the barometer
now?" pursued tho friend.
"High," Tepllcd the manufacturer.
"Nearly every man In my line is busier
today than he has been in years, and most
of us are away behind In our orders, al
though running with an extra force. These
orders are principally for tools used by
tho roulette houses, to whose already am
ple number. It seems to me, dally additions
are being made. The are six factories
now In this city, which have no time to
turn our anything but faro and roulette
tables. Many smaller concerns are mak
ing the accessories such as lay-outs, racks,
spreads, cases, boxes, markers, chips and
the scores of trifling little essentials
which are found In gambling-rooms. How
ever, the trade in faro tables and outfits
is not so large by any means as the busi
ness In roulette materials. The game of
faro seems to be waning In New York In
particular, and there are really compara
tively few gambling-houses here which
support lt Roulette has the call, and the
reason for this is obvious. The gambler
who onco staked thousands on the turn of
a card or bet 5100 stacks of chips is pass
ing away, and in his place Qtep3 the young
man who has a great deal of money to
win and little to risk it. the acquirement.
Faro does not appeal to the youngster
who has only a dollar, or perhaps five, at
a time to wager. It is too swift a game
for him, whereas, he can find scores and
scores of roulette games where he can
buy a stack of 20 chips for $2, and, play
ing them one at a time, makes his expen
diture, go further than in a faro game,
where the smallest sum represented by
a check is likely to be 25 cents.
"It is on these young men that the
gambling-houses are beginning to depend
lor their support nowadays. There was
a time when their presence was barely
tolerated. They represented little in the
profits of the house and stood for a cor.
Idera&lo part of tho house's expenditure
for clgan?. liquors, etc That was tho
day. however, when something like tall
gambling was going on. But with the pass
ing of the tall gamblers the fortunes of
the gambling-houses began to wane, and
several of tho shrewdest among tho man
agers saw there wao a profit to be made
out of the young men with only a few dol
lars at a time in their pockets, although
the profit was considerably less than that
to which they were accustomed. So
they began to cater to the young men.
They reduced the price of their chips, and
made features of those games which
eeemed to appeal most to the young men's
fancy.
"When a man has little money to risk,
of course he is apt to stake It upon that
game which offers the largest opportunity
for gain. Dollar for dollar, the chance
offered by faro does not strike the fancy
of the majority of young fellows, but roul

Doctors still prescribe mercury and potash as the only cure for Blood Poison. These poisonous min
erals never vet made a complete and permanent cure of Contarious Blood Poison. They drive the disease
back into the system, cover it up for a while, bat it breaks out again in -worse form. These powerful minerals produce mercurial
rheumatism and the most offensive sores and -ulcers, causing the joints to stiffen and finger nails to drop off. Mercury and
potash, mako wrecks, not-cures, and those who have been dosed with these drugs are never after free from aches and pain.
R. R. art in an entirrl-c- different manner, beinp- a nurelv vegetable remedy : it forces the poison out of the system, and
instead of tearing down, builds tip and invigorates the general health. S. S. S. is the only antidote for this specific virus, and
therefore the only cure for Contagious Blood Poison. No matter in what stage or how hopeless the case may appear, even
though pronounced incurable by the doctorst S. S. S. can be relied upon to make a rapid, permanent cure. S. S. S. is not a
nev?; untried remedy ; an experience of nearly fifty years has proven it a sure and unfailing cure for this disease. It is the
only purely vegetable blood medicine known.

WHAT IT MEANS
Timely Words by Dr. Copeland Upon the Op
portunities of Summer to the Afflicted.
What Summer Means
In the Cure of Catarrh
There are contracted during the periods
of Fall. Winter and Spring those catar
rhal conditions of the head and throat and
other parts that are engaged in carrying
air to the lungs. The changeable weather,
the cold spells followed by warm periods
with thaws and dampness, together with
a necessity during the cold weather of
living Indoors with the house shut up and
often overheated, the impure air of closed
buildings, all tend to the development of
disease of those parts which carry air to
tho lungs and to the ears. Not only docs
the Inclemency of Spring, Fall and Winter
produce such diseases, but the same
causea that produce the disease also Inter
fere with the efforts of the doctor to cure
them. Durjng the Summer months things
are different. The climate is warmer, the
high winds loaded with dusty particles
that irritate the diseased parti that carry
the air are absent: there Is plenty of fresh
air, as the house is kept open, and this
together with outdoor life, ho improves
the general health that nature is able to
improve all those diseases that attack
the breathing tracts and ears. Thus, in
the treatment -of all catarrhal diseases,
that which ha3 been 'frequently urged Is
true, namely, that one month of treat
ment during the Summer, when the lia
bility to catching cold Is reduced to tho
minimum and nature lends her aid to the
physician, is worth two months of the
most skillful and conscientious treatment
during Winter.
RINGING WORDS FROM CURED PATIENTS
Captain "W. H. Foster, of the
Alblna ferry, residing at 439 Goldsmith
street, Portland: When I began treat
ment at tho Copeland Institute I had long
been a sufferer from catarrh of the head
and stomach. I could not eat or sleep,
and had lost 20 pounds. I am now in good
health.
Mr. John Redmond, McMInnville,
Or.: I had suffered with catarrh and stom
ach trouble for years. I took a course
of treatment with. Drs. Copeland and
Montgomery, and they cured me. I have
been enjoying good health ever since.
Mrs. Ii. H. Clarke, well lenovrn in
Portland, living at Gresham: The Cope
land physicians cured me of rheumatism
and deafness, from which 1 had suffered
for many years. I am. 69 years of age,
and consider my cure little short of a
mlracfe. and never fail to give the Cope
land physicians the praise they so richly
deserve.
Mr. Iiecester Snipes, The Dalles,
Or.: Mine was a complicated case and of
long standing. One doctor said I had
Asthma; another that I had Consumption
and could not get well. I had a bad
cough, pains In the chest and through the
left lung. The air passages, seemed con
tracted and closed. I was famishing for
breath half tho night, unable to sleep or
reet In bed. Drs. Copeland and Montgomery
cured me after everything else had failed.
Rev. T. R. A. Sell-wood, n. -well-known
rector of the Episcopal Church, re
siding at Milwaukie My case was a very
serious one, dating back 20 years. I suf
fered severely with my head. Gradually
my hearing failed. When I began treat
ment I was very deaf. Today I hear as
I well as any man could my hearing has
been perfectly restored.
Mrs. A. H. Maegly, 455 Fifth Street,
Portland: Our little daughter Monta was
seriously affected with catarrh of the
head and throat. Her "whole system was
affected. She could not breathe through
her nose. She was pale and weak, and al
ways tired and exhausted. Drs. Copeland
and Montgomery cured her.

Opportunities of
Summer to the Dear
It has been seen, even during the in
clement and unfriendly Influences of ths
severe Winter weather, and the change
able weather of Spring and Fall, how
this treatment, even against the influ
ences of the climate and weather, restores
the lost hearing to those of all ages, and
regardless of the original cause. As is
well known, in Southern climates deaf
ness la not nearly as prevalent as in tha
North. The reason for this 13 that in a
mild climate the inflammation -which,
closes the Eustachian Tube, thus causing
deafness, is subdued more easily. So. from
now on. Doctor Copeland's treatment will
have the wonderful benefits of nature's
help. Instead of the trying Influences ot
her opposition, as it has had during ths
harsh Winter and Spring months. Dur
ing the Winter and early Spring the In
fluence of the wonderful medication finds
constant opposition to its work In open
ing up the Inflamed and, exposed passages
leading from the throat to tho Inner ear.
Hence, one month of treatment during tha
Summer i3 worth at least two months la
the Winter.
Mr. J. Martin, Oregon City, Or.i
When I began treatment at the Copeland
Institute I had little hopes of a cure. My
stomach and bowels were in a terrible
condition. I had diarrhoea, with awful
cramp-like pains. Food did not digest,
but caused bloating, smd great distress.
I had lost 35 pounds.
I had been treated by no less than 10
physicians, but they could do nothing for
me. Upon the advice of friends, I placed
myself under treatment with Drs. Cope
land and Montgomery. I am always
pleased to praise these physicians for their
excellent and successful treatment of my
case. They cured me.
