RUSSIA NOT DISPLEASED
APPARENTLY "WELL SATISFIED
"WITH ANGLO-JAPANESE TREATY.
Hut IIopcx the United State I Not a
Party to tlie Agreement Com
ment of the 1'rens.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 14. The Rus
sian oillclal view of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty was communicated to the corre
spondent -of the Associated Press as fol
lows: "We accept the news of the entente
with complete equanimity, and are happy
to ascertain that England and Japan are
pledged to maintain the integrity of Chi
na and the independence of Corea, two
principles which Russia was the first to
establish as the basis of her foreign pol
icy in the Orient. Russia would willingly
have subscribed to the agreements in the
preamble The English-Japanese say
their convention has only essentially pa
cific alms. Tills makes it all the more
at.tonit.hing when they speak of war and
coalitions. What power they have in
view ie cannot pay. But in any case.
If pcae is menaced in the extreme Orient.
Rus.-li, for her part, will not fail to take
all the measures necessary to safeguard
her interests.
"All Russia's conventions with Japan
have aimed at the preservation of the in
tegrity of China and the Independence of
Core a and It Is true that Minls-ter Kurino
came to us immediately to communicate
the text of the agreement and give the
most amicable assurances. We have rea
son to believe it is not true that Ameri
ci, with which we remain in perfect ac
cord, is a silent partner in the affair. We
have given America positive assurances
that Russia will do nothing which will
disturb the interests of America in China.
"We do not believe America is anxious
about the situation. Furthermore, we
have received satisfactory assurances
that America Is not taking any steps
against us in China."
The few morning newspapers which
commented upon the treaty intimated
that Russia was a party to both the pre
liminary negotiations and the treaty it
self. The St. Petersburg Zeltung wel
comes the general Intent of the agree
ment to preserve the Integrity of China
and Corea, "which Russia has so fre
quently, fully and entirely expressed it
self in favor of. The aims of the two
Island powers, therefore, in no wise clash
with Russia's Intentions. So the agree
ment raises no anxiety whatever."
The Herald declares the alliance was
by no means unexpected, "as the Japan
ese representative kept the Russian For
eign Office fully and liberally Informed of
the progress of events. At the time
of the Chinese troubles, Russia laid down
its programme for the integrity of China,
so it can have no objection to Great
Britain and Japan formally adhering to
the same policy." "We hope." the Her
ald proceeds, "that wc now have before
us a period of live years of undisturbed
peace in the far East, which we shall
not fall to utilize in consolidating rela
tions with our Asiatic neighbors."
The Herald concludes with hailing with
the highest satisfaction the recognition
of the integrity and independence of
Corea, "as fears of Japan's designs
against Corea had heretofore caused anxi
ety in Russia."
Humor of Russo-Clilnese Trentj".
LONDON. Feb. 14. The statement pub
lished by La. Lanterne, of Paris, that a
treaty of alliance had been signed between

Disorders nt Trieste.
TRIESTE. Austria, Feb. 14. This city
is practically in the hands of riotous
ttriktrs. All the factories arc closed, and
the few stores which opened for business
were compelled to close, owing to the
mobs which paraded the streets. .Traffic
on the street railroads was suspended.
The headquarters of the Austrian Lloyd's
Steamship Company, whose firemen were
the ilr.t to strike, were protected by a
strong force of police, who repeatedly
charged and attempted to drive back the
rioters-. The military have occupied the
public squares and other points of van
tage. The mobs frequently stoned the po
lice, and some shots were fired.
A meeting held this, afternoon in the
Piazza Grand was followed by a street
fight, during which the troops fired a vol
ley into the mob, six of whom were killed
and 20 severely wounded.
Gerninn Tariff Change-.
BERLIN. Feb. 14. The Reichstag tariff
committee, by a large majority, adopted

refused to entertain. The Liberals and
Socialists violently denounced the chair
man's ruling, and the committee subse
quently overruled the chair. The chair
man's resignation followed. The overrul
ing of Baron von Kardorff led to an up
roarious outbreak and Socialist shouts of
"dictatorship" and "terrorism."

Mial, 341; average, C 22-63; high runs,
41. 25. 24.

of San Francisco, and Threshie. of Bos
ton, was the longest game but two of
the tournament, and resulted in a vlctory
for the Pacific Coast champion by a score
of 400 to 37G. It was a slow game, but
its closeness kept the interest of the on
lookers always on edge. The Boston .man
led during the first eight innings, but
after that the Callfornlan crept slowly but
surely away from his opponent, winning
out by 24 pounds in 79 innings. Score:
Wilson H. Sigourney, 4W; average,

high runs, 22, 24. 27.
So far in the tournament Sigourncy
stands high man, having won five out
of his six games. But should Norri"
beat Conklin tomorrow it would be a tie
for first place. In case Conklin should
beat Norris there would be a tie between
Conklin. Xorris and Mial for second hon
ors, and the tournament in consequence
would not end until next Tucsdny or
Wednesday.

IN A WEAK SPOT
THE STORY OF AN ATTACK AND
ITS REPULSE.
A Thrlllinpr Account ns Told Toy n
Veteran of the One Hundred and
Fifty-fourth Indiana Volunteer.
Jacob T. Keller, of Girard, Kan., is a
veteran who saw long and hard service
in the Civil War with the One Hundred
and Fifty-fourth Indiana Volunteers, and
he tells many a story of bivouac and
battle. He was recounting some of his
adventures to a reporter the other day.
"Of all my experiences In the war
and out of It." he said, "one Is most
often uppermost in my thoughts. I had
strained my hip In some manner, but I
thought I had got over It all right.
About two years after that, however,
when I was plowing for wheat I gave
out again in that spot. Rheumatism set
in, nnd I had to quit work. 1 tried one
thing after the other to get some re
lief from the pain, but nothing that I
took helped me at all, and I became
discouraged.
"The cords of my left leg were drawn
so badly that I could not straighten it
out at all. nor could I sit down. My hip
and knee pained me and I suffered hor
ribly. At times also I had nervous head
ache. After trying a number of things.
my daughter. Mrs. Fry. who had been
cured of rheumatism by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, induced me to
try that remedy. My case was a very
stubborn one, and I took five boxes of
the pills before I could see much change,
but I kept on and they certainly did
wonders for me.. The cords in my leg
began to slacken, and before long it lim
bered so that I could use It again and be
able to sit down. My kldney.s had been
bad and the pills soon made them bet
ter, too. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People are a grand, good medicine,
and I recommend them to all who suffer
as I did."
The real cause of rheumatism Is the
preence of acid in the blood, which Ir
ritates the sensitive tissues that unite
the Joints and cover the muscles, thus
causing those Indescribable tortures
which rheumatic sufferers endure. Years
ago those afflicted were bled; as if taking
away some of the Impure blood could
remedy the balance. This folly has been
abandoned, and today physicians pre
scribe and druggists recommend the use
cf Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple, as these marvelous vegetable pills
go directly to the seat of the trouble,
exerting a powerful influence in purify
ing and enriching the blood by eliminat
ing poisonous elements and renewing
health-giving force, thus making a po
tent remedy for curing this disease.
Dr. Williams Pink PilLs for Pale Peo
ple are an unfailing specific for all dis
eases arising from impoverished blood
or shattered nerves. They cure not
only rheumatism-, but locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis. St. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache,
after-effects of grip, of fevers nnd of
other acute diseases, palpitation of the
heart, anaemia, pale nnd sallow complex
ions, and all forms of weakness. At all

half.

to have. It stops falling of
the hair, too, and will often
make the hair grow to be
very long and heavy.

Delicately formed and gently reared, -vromenwill
find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maids or wives
or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy
which .acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and
which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under
auy conditions, when the system needs a laxative is
Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple com
bination of the laxative and carminative principles of
plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable
to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired.
Many of the ills from which men suffer are of
a transient nature and do not come from any organic
trouble and it is pleasant to know that they jield so
promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs,
but when anything more than a laxative is needed it
is best to consult the family physician and to avoid
the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos
trums of the present day. "When one needs only to
remove the strain, tho tomor, the congestion, or

similar ills, which,
tion of tho.svstem.
Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the depres
sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which,
are due to inactivity of the bowel3.
Only those who buy the genuino Syrup of Figs
can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar
antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name
of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is
printed on the front of every package and without
it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraud
ulent and should be declined. To those who know the
quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any
substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called, for, is
always resented by a transfer of patronage to some
first-class drug establishment, where they do not
recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation
remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all
reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle.

Tetter or Salt Rheum
Sometimes" becomes . chronic, covers . the
whole body, and causes intense suffering..
Outward applications, however much they
may mitigate, cannot cure. The trouble pro
ceeds from humors inherited or acquired and
persists until they have been removed.
Hood's Sarsapariila positively removes
them, has radically and permanently cured
the worst cases, and is without an equal for
all cutaneous eruptions.
Begin treatment with Hood's, without
delay.
'"My husband had salt rheum. He took two bottles of
Hood's Sarsapariila and was. cured. For that tired feeling
in the Spring, there is no medicine that does mc as much
good." Mrs. E. Hunt, "Weston. Or.
"I had been troubled with eczema on my face for five years.
Tried various remedies for the trouble, from which I received
no benefit.' Last Spring I decided to take Hood's Sarsapa
riila, and the result was the eruptions left my face, and
have never returned." Phoebe A. Morrison, box 11, Lyons,
Colo.

American Idcnl.i.
NEW YORK. Feb. 14. Wlllinm D.
Foulke. United States Civil Service Com
missioner, who was the speaker at tho
February meeting of the Patrla Club,
talked on "American Ideals in the Light
of Expansion." He said in part:
"It Is the custom of those who deplore
the acquisition of Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines to insist that American ideals are
sure to suffer in this process of extending
our dominion over nations unlike our
own. My own belief Is that American
Ideals will not lose by our taking this
new part in the world's work: that, on the
contrary, they will have wider fields of
usefulness.
"Can It be doubted that after Ameri
can Institutions have been established In
the Philippine Islands the descendants of
those who are now seeking to wage war
against us will In like manner Justify and
approve the act by which we compelled
their ancestors to remain under the pro
tection of our flag?"
