CAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
President Reed Denounced Portions
. of Army Reorsrnnizatlon Lair as
an Inaclt to the Profession.
STf PAUL, June 4. The general meeting
of ,the American Medical Association was
jailed to o&der today by-President Charles
A. X.. Reed, of Cincinnati, Jnthe Metropol
itan Opera-House. President Reed- read
his -annual address, an abstract of which
follows:
"The Army reorganization daw of the
last-Congress -was inexplicable and inex
cusable It grants the medical depart
ment for rank, and promotion, and In con
sequence, for pay, below every other de
partment and special corps of the Army,
and, with the exception of Second Lieuten
ants, it Is graded below the line. In ac
cordance with Its proylslons, a, medical
officer, to obtain a Colonelcy, must pass
through three times as many trials as an
offioer of either the quartermaster's, the
subsistence or the pay departments; more
"than twice as many as an officer of en--glneers
or of ordnan.ee, and nearly twice
as many as an officer of the signal corps.
The effect of this discrimination Is not
only to lower the rank and pay of medical
officers, but must result in lessening the
efficiency of the corps by repejllng men of
spirit and worth. It becomes the duty of
every member of the medical profession
Jealous of hlsfrighfe, his -prerogatives and
the fair name he may leave his children,
to resent as personal between himself and
every member of the Congress who voted
foY this law, the action which cast a stig
ma -upon our profession.
"It has been the conviction of iany en
lightened members of the medical profes
sion that the means employed by the gen
eral Government for the protection and
promotion of the public health are capa
ble of improvement. The conditions today
are precisely the .same as they were 10
years ago.
"I proclaim, events proclaim, the exist
ence of a new school of medicine. It is
es distinct from the schools of 50 years
agoas is the Christian dispensation from
Its pagan antecedents. It acknowledges
no distinctive title, dt heralds no shibbo
leth. It is a school of human tolerance
and of tolerant independence and of -scientific
honesty. It makes no proclamation
of completeness, no pretensions to suffi
ciency. It recognizes that truth is under
going 'progressive revelation, not ending
today, but continuing through the ages."

"WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS.
Protet Against the Reprnlntlon of
Vice In the riiiltpnliiea,
MINNEAPOLIS, June 4. Stato regula
tion of vice was one of the leading topics
at this morning's session of the National
American Woman's Suffrage Association.
The telegram of the Philippine Commis
sion to Secretary Root, January 17. 1901,
reciting that the military authorities hi
Manila had for two years subjected wom
en of bad character to "certified exam
ination, and the course of General Mac
Arthur In defending such policy, was made
the occasion for the adoption of a set of
resolutions earnestly protesting against
the "introduction of the European system
of state-regulated vice In the new posses
sions of the United States." The reasons
urged against such a course were: "To
furnish bad women with official health
certificates was contrary to good morals,
and would Impress both soldiers and na
tives as officially sanctioning vice; it was
unjust to subject vicious women to com
pulsory medical examination, not applied
to vicious men; official regulation of vice,
while lowering the moral tone of the com
munity. Is quite ineffective in. protecting"
public health, as shown by experience in
Paris, where the system originated, by its
abandonment In England. Switzerland and
other countries, and its failure everywhere
it has been tried. The resolutions "pro
test. In the name of American womanhood'
against introducing In our foreign depend
encies a system that would not be toler
ated at home."
The resolutions reported by the commit
tee reaffirmed and set forth the arguments
for equal suffrage and recited the progress
made by the cause, paid a tribute to
Rachel Foster Avery, the retiring corre
sponding secretary, and to the leading
members who have died within the year.
Mrs. Emily S. Richardson represented the
loyalty of Utah to the cause. Mrs. Henry
"Waldo Coe said that work had gone stead
ily on In Oregon In spite of the defeat of
the suffrage amendment.
The election of officers resulted in the
choice of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt as
president; Rev. Anna Upward Shaw, vice
president at large; Miss Kate 5drdon. cor

is the young woman chosen by the Gov

She stated tonight that household labor

The root of the evil Is that household

with a due regard for human life on the
part of those engaged In operating the
cars, or who direct the operation of the

Tate of speed dangerous to those who use

THE PLAINTIFF TESTIFIED
,IN :HEJl' 8150,000 LIBEL , SUIT
- AGAINST MRS. EDDY.
Letter That Passed Between Mrs.
TVoodlmry and the Defendant
Introduced in Evidence.
BOSTON, June 4. The trial of the $150.
000 libel suit of Mrs. Josephine C. Wood
bury against Mrs. Mary Baker G, Eddy
.was resumed today, with Sentiinus J.
J Hanna, reader of the First Church of
Christian Scientists, editor of the Chris
tian Science Journal, and a close friend
of Mrs. Eddy, on the witness-stand.
Judge Hanna was asked if he had In his
.possession the original of the message
sent by Mrs. Eddy to the Christian Sci
ence Journal in May, 1S97. The , witness,
replied that he had a copy of the Jour
nal containing the message, and this was
offered in - evidence by the counsel for
Mrs. Woodbury, who said that Mrs. Ed
dy's reference to Mrs. Woodbury as a
person Unfriendly to Christian Science
showed malice. The Journal was admlt-
3Irs-Iary Baker G.,Bd,y.
ted, subject to exception, simply on a
question of malice. Judge Hanna admit
ted that the message was published, af
ter Mrs. Eddy had raised the question
of the reply to a magazine article by
Mrs. Woodbury, attacking Christian Sci
ence. The article by Mrs. Woodbury,
which was offered as evidence, was again
presented and excluded. Later the court
ruled out the by-laws of the Christian
Sclenoe Church, as not having any part
in the present suit. Exception was taken
by the plaintiff, on the ground that the
witness admitted that, as an employe of
the Christian Science Publishing Soci
ety, the amount of his salary was deter
mined by the board of directors.
The deed of trust given by Mrs. Eddy
in 1898 to Mrs. Bates. Noel and McKenzie,
as trustees of the Christian Science Pub
lishing Company, was admitted as evi
dence. By this deed, Mrs. Eddy conveyed
to the trustees the business pf all Chris
tian Science publications, subject to her
supervision at all times, and subject to
her right to withdraw at any time any
publication in which she holds the copy
right. The witness could not say wheth
er during the nine years he had been ed
itor of the Journal every single message
of Mrs. Eddy had been published, through
him. He said he knew nothing about the
publication of the message in contro
versy In a Boston newspaper. He knew
the reporter of the paper and had given
him matter for publication. He saw him
at the church when Mrs. Eddy's message
was read, but denied that he knew what
he was there for. The witness said it
was the custom on some occasions to
publish Mrs. Eddy's communications In
Boston papers.
Mrs. Eddy's book, "Science and Health,"
was produced, and witness was asked If
it was not the Christian Science text
book. Witness said much of the Chris
tian Science belief was based upon it.
Mrs. Woodbury said she met Mrls. Eddy
in 1879. in Boston. At that time she had
never heard of Christian Science. Subse
quently sho became a believer In Mrs.
Eddy, studied Christian Science with her
and was admitted to the Christian Sci
ence Association, receiving a certificate
or degree from the college In which
Christian .Science was taught, signed by
Mrs. Eddy as a doctor of Christian Sci
ence. This certificate was offered in evi
dence. At Mrs. Eddy's request, the wit
ness made application to her In 1895 for
admission to the First Church of Christ
and was then directed to send her ap
plication direct to the church. In clos
ing the letter conveying the direction
Mrs. Eddy used this expression: "Re
member that malicious hypnotism Is no
excuse for sin." Mrs. Woodbury was
asked to define "malicious hypnotism,"
but she was not allowed to answer.
After the recess a letter dated Novem
ber 25, 1895, from Mrs. Eddy to Mrs.
Woodbury, .was read. In which the writ
er said that she had pleaded with the
directors, but that she had failed, owing
to a report that Mrs. Woddbury had
written a letter which said that the
church could go along on Its own account.
Mrs! Eddy said that that had sealed her
lips and she had come to the conclusion
that Mrs. Woodbury was. not fit to enter
the church.
At this point a representative of the
business office of the Boston Herald was
called to show that a large number of
copies of the paper was purchased by
Mrs Eddy on June 5, the day after tha
alleged libelous message of Mrs. Eddy
was read In the First Church, but wit
ness could only say that the papers' were
delivered.
Mrs. Woodbury then resumed her testi
mony, and a passage In Mrs. Eddy's let
ter of April 15, 1895, was read, In which
the latter said: "Now, dear' student, try
to go for one year without telling a
falsehood, cheating or breaking the Deca
logue." Mrs. Woodbury denied -that she
had ever told a He or cheated.
. Mr.. Peabody said that he had several
"etters which had passed between the'
plaintiff and defendant which he desired
to have read to the Jury. In one' of these
letters Mrs. Eddy told Mrs. Woodbury to
remember the "M. A. M." Mrs. Wood
bury bald these letters meant "malicious
animal magnetism."
Mrs. Helen M. Winchester, of Maiden, a
very intelligent young woman, wljo had
been a student under Mrs. Woodbury,
was the last witness of the day. She
testified that she bought a Boston Herald
of June 5, 1SS9, containing the alleged

When she read the message she had In
stantly an Idea to. whom it referred. When
asked to whdnOn her opinion. It did re

argue that it was not plain that the wit
ness 'did not secure the paper and read
it at "the request of Mrs. Woodbury.. The
court excused the jury for the day.

is that there will be a large Increase in

rumors, as It was only a short Jirne ago
that the American Tobacco CompVny sep

MODUS VIVENDI PLANNED
EFFORT TO FACILITATE CHINESE
NEGOTIATIONS..
When the'Indemnity Question Is Set
tled, the Matter of Permanent
Treaties Will Be Taken Up.
WASHINGTON, June 4. The plan of a
modus Vivendi on the subject of the
Chinese indemnities Is now receiving the
earnest attention of those interested in
the Chinese negotiations, the -purpose
being to prevent the indemnity question
from causing an Interruption In the con
cert of the powers and at the same time
to remove the indemnity itself so that
progress can be made on the remaining
subjects of negotiation. Since the re
turn of the President and Secretary Hay
from the West, the indemnity question
has been thoroughly gone over with the
foreign representatives concerned, in
cluding the British, Russian and French
ambassadors and Japanese minister. Sev
eral of the ambassadors who had In
tended to leave for Europe have now de
ferred their departure for a month. As
a result of the exchanges of the last few
days the question has resolved Itself to
about the following basis: There Is no
further issue as to the total of Indem
nity, that having been agreed upoa by all.
the powers and being $337,000,000. But
there remains the question of how this
airiount shall be paid.
The Russian suggestion, which appears
to have the approval of a majority of
the powers, is that China issue bends
for the full amount and that all the
powers then unite In giving a Joint in
dorsement or guarantee of the payment
of them. The desire has been not only
to secure the assent of a majority of the
powers to this scheme, but the unani
mous approval of all of them. This,
however, has not been accomplished up
to the present time and it is for this rea
son that the modus vlvendi is now being
considered as a possible means of bring
ing about united action.
The British Government is not favorable
to the Russian proposition and the Brit
ish view has taken form in a plan to
have China issue her own bonds to the
several governments, each government
thereafter adopting Its own course as to
an Individual guarantee.
The policy of the United States regard
ing the Russian proposition was made
known in part during the President's
Western trip, although the final course
o" this government Is still considered open
and Is the cause for the extended con
ferences between the ambassadors and
Secretary Hay which have been in
progress since Mr. Hay's return. The
chief difficulty which the United States
finds as to a joint agreement is that the
constitution does not authorize the execu
tive to guarantee bonds in the absence of
the approval of Congress. As to the atti
tude of Congress, it has been stated dur
ing the negotiations that it is doubtful
whether the legislative branch would ap
prove a joint guarantee of such a vast
total of bonds. Moreover, the American
view has been that 4 per cent bonds, as
contemplated by Russia, would not be a
prudent investment for the United States,
since the United States readily sells bonds
at 2"4 per cent, whereas Russian 4 per
cent securities sell at 93 cents on the
dollar.
When this Indemnity Issue Is settled It
is believed th.at fully 80 per cent of the
Chinese negotiations would be disposed
of. The next question will be permanent
treaties with China and on thisjjoint it
is expected that each of the powers will
suggest a certain basis of a treaty and
that this ultimately will take form in a
common form of treaty action.
TREATY WITH CHINA.
It Will Contain" a "Most Favored
Nation" Clause.
NEW YORK. Juno 4. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Concessions granted by China to
the other nations In treaties to
be negotiated as the concluding
chapter of the Chinese crisis will
be enjoyed by the United States under
the "most favored nation clause,," to be
inserted in the convention this Govern
ment will present for signature. It will
immediately upon the eettlement of the
'indemnity question consider the nature of
treaties. It is practically certain that the
powers will not be willing to negotiate a
single treaty with China, though Identical
treaties may be drawn up. Officials of
the Administration believe that the pow
ers, will prefer to negotiate separate trea
ties. If this Is done, different concessions
will be demanded. This Government pro
pose to demand reasonable safeguards
for American Interests, but In order to
Insure that the United States may not
suffer in consequence of .advantages ob
tained by other governments, a clause will
be inserted providing that any concessions
granted to other nations wlll.be enjoyed
by the United States.
It Is the Impression of Administration
officlajs that the Ministers In Pekin will
be ordered by their governments to accept
the British proposal regarding the method
to be pursued in the settlement of the
Indemnity demand. The British proposed
an issue of bonds at 4 per cent In
terest, each power to dispose as it saw
fit of the bonds it received In payment
of its share of the indemnity. It Is prac
tically certain that a proposition will be
agreed to prohibiting Individual action
or seizure of territory in case China
should fail to pay the interest.
A BATCH OF DENIALS.
Russia's Attitude Tovrard the Chi
nese Loan.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 4. The offi
cials of the foreign office state that con
trary to certain reports, Russia has never
favored the notion of all the constitu
tional powers guaranteeing the Chinese
loan. She replied In terms similar to
those of the United States, that the
executive could not guarantee this with
out the consent of the legislative branch.
Russia prefers a speedy settlement to a
guarantee.
The officials also say it is not true that
Russia is bitter against Great Britain
for offering the plan now discussed. Her
relations with. Great Britain are declared
to be nearer satisfactory than in a long
time. It is denied that Russian official
circles are harboring a grudge against
Germany. The situation which arose from
the German punitive expeditions natural
ly ceased when these expeditions were
stopped. Russo-German relations have
resiimed their normal cordiality.
It Is not believed here that France in
tends to annex the Island of Hal-Nan
and the Russian officials see no occasion
for excitement 'over the subject of the
French Corean loan. It Is pointed out
that the French-Belgian concession for a
railroad from Seoul to the Manchurlan
frontier 1b several years old. Russia an
ticipates that the road will ultimately be
constructed.
The Macedonian question Is not expect
ed to occasion anxiety this Summer. The
Russian ambassador, M. Zlnleveff, re
turns to Constantinople because his leave
has expired.

BERLIN, June 4. Count von Waldersee
has postponed his departure from Tien
Tsln pending an Investigation of the mili
tary affray on the Taku road.
The Lokal Anzelger calls attention to
what It dcscrlhes as the Ill-tempered ut
terances of the London Times regarding
count von wamersec s return anu says:
"The animus of the wrath of the Times
Is the fact that several hundred Germans
remain In Shanghai, thus permanently
divesting the city of Its character as
British domain." The paper publishes ex
tracts from various London journals
praising Count von "Waldersee.
The Vosslsche Zeltung says: "It would

for arranging court functions and su
pervising details, the ceremonial side

with an abundance of color and gold

white staves and chief officers of the roy
al nousehold were in attendance in the
throneroom with the yeomen of the guard
within and guards of honor outside St.

presence of a large company of distin
guished officers, including Generals Rob
erts, Buller, Forestler-Walker, Pole
Carew, Clarey, Brackenburg, Macklnnon
and other veterans of the South African
War.
Maniac in the Vatican.
NEW YORK. June . A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Rome
says:
"While the pope was at work in his pri
vate room, a maniac made his way into
the ante-room and shouted, "The pope Is
dead. I am his successor; give me the
crown." The noble guards on duty seized
the Intruder and prevented him from
penetrating tbe pope's chamber. But flie
holy father had heard the shout. He
ordered that the man be arrested. He
turned out to be Valentino Paterno, a
religious fanatic. He was taken to a
lunatic asylum. How he passed the gate
keepers, guard and ushers all the way
from the outer gate of the Vatican to the
very door of the pope's room Is a mys
tery as yet unexplained.
