LOGUE DEFENDS GOTTI. Because He Is a Carmelite Does Not Follow He Is Xarrovr-SIinttcil, ROME, July 29. Cardinal Logui. arch bishop of Armagh, had an interview to day with Cardinal Gibbons. When asked wha't he thought of the objections fre quently mentioned against Cardinal Gotti being elected pope on the ground of his being a member of a religious order would prevent him from dealing in a broad spirit with Catholie problems in America and Great Britain, Cardinal Logue said to a representative of the As sociated Press: "It is absurd. Cardinal Gotti was form erly an Internuncio, and -has mixed with the representatives of the various powers. He knows the prevailing conditions as well as anybody. Just because he is a Carmelite, It does not follow that he Is narrow minded. "Moreover, it Is unreasonable to attrib ute too much weight to the personality of the new pope. International matters and Internal policy are now almost Invar iably settled by committees of cartilnals, who, certainly under the late Pope Leo, directed their departments Just as much as the heads of departments of a civil government direct their department. "But, who ever may be pope, It Is not likely that he will attempt to make any changes In policy without being careful to take the adVice of those commissions which have heretofore directed the policy of the Vatican." Two Cardinals Will Not Be Present. ROME, July 29.

Colo nial Secretary Chamberlain, In referring to the possibility of losing the American market, said: "If we had only treated the West In dies fairly, there is no reason why they should not be supplying us with the great er part of our demand. The government has had the choice between prohibition and rebating duties." He believed prohibition the simplest plan, but If it should be necessary, he would take the opinion of Parliament on the question of countervailing duties. Mr. Chamberlain did not touch directly upon the fiscal question, but Incidentally re marked, "we are on the eve .of a great economic fight, and it behooves everybody to keep cool as long as possible, and not turn this economic into a personal fight."

The names of 40 residents of Pekln who aro accusal at iihnmi ten dencies were presented to the Dowager Empress today by the reactionary offi cials, who recommend that they be se verely punished, Those accused are con sidered guilty of only what In enlightened countries would be tho legitimate criti cism of the government. This Is Bald alscr to be truo of the native journalists Im prisoned at Shanghai, except In the case of two who suggested the assassination of the Manchu rulers" as a remedy for China's troubles. All foreigners and progressive Chinese afe deeply interested in the decision which the Ministers will make on the question of turning ovec the native editors arrest ed at Shanghai to Chinese jurisdiction, and they express the hope that technical lues concerning the Jurisdiction of the court will beIgnored, if necessary, and that the Ministers will refuse on the ground of humanity to deliver the pris oners to the Chinese for probable torture and execution, as happened In the case of the Chinese who were turned over to the Chinese officials at Shanghai during tho Japanese War. Chang Chi Tung, Viceroy of Nankin, is credited with the leadership of the reac tionary party, advising such a course to the Empress Dowager, who will acquiesce. Prince Chlng is reported to favor leniency. HONORS MEMORY OF KING. Rome Holds Mass and Marches to tho Tomb of Hambert. ROME, July 29. Rome this morning was the scene of one of those dramatic contrasts which are now so characteristic of the Eternal City. While at the Vati can, In the Sl3tlne Chapel, a solemn requiem mass waa being Intoned with all the solemnity the Catholic church can Impose, for the repose of the soul of Pope Leo XIII, the spiritual monarch who claimed Rome as his capital, another and no less solemn requiem mass was being celebrated In the magnificent Pantheon for the repose of the soul of the late King Humbert, the temporal monarch, the cap ital of whose kingdom was Rome.

It passed oft quietly, though thousands of persons witnessed the dem onstration, and the procession Itself was over a mile In length. Throughout the route the piazzas and streets were thronged with orderly spectators. All the shops were shut, and there were more outward signs of mourning than have been seen in Rome during recent years. The procession, which was mostly com posed of local patriotic societies and bands, wa3 very picturesque. The veteran corps carried many banners, and Italian flags draped with crepe, ""Besides hundreds of wreaths, which they laid on the tombs of King Humbert and Victor Emmanuel at the Pantheon. The general opinion was expressed that the antl-Clerlcals succeeded In making a successful counter-demonstration against the recent activity of the Clericals, but that they did . so without any breach of propriety and without wounding- the feel ings of the Catholics and regardless of po litical affiliations.

Our methods of treatment are unlike those em ployed by other physicians. They are original with ourselves, and are the most effective method ever de vised. They Involve the scientific application of every curative Influ ence known to be helpful In the treatment of men's diseases. Our ofllces are an exposition of delicate and costly equipment, much of which Is especially constructed to meet the requirements of our dis tinctive methods of treatment. We have hesitated at no expense that could add to the efficiency of .our work or the comfort of our pa tients. There Is no other equally equipped Institute of the kind in the Pacific Northwest. DR. W. NORTON DAVIS "Weakness" That disorder commonly known as "weakness" has for years and generations baffled the efforts ot physicians, yet to this day a major ity of doctors, specialists not ex cepted, are attempting to overcome it by methods that have been in constant use and have constantly failed for half a century. They Jose the system withpowerfulstim--Jlants and tonics calculated to re store nervous forco or strength that is not nor never has been lacking, with the result that the functions are temporarily excited, to the posi tive detriment of the patient. "Weakness," we will call it such for convenience' sake Just now, is only a symptom resulting trom a cnronicaiiy swollen and inflamed prostate gland, and Is curable by local treatment only. Either early clssipacion or some irnproperly :reated contracted disease is respon sible for the lnaflmmatlon. In most Instances, though, accidental Injury, strain, etc., may produce the same result. We have per manently cured thousands of cases of prematureness, loss of power, etc., without the giving of a single internal dose, which demonstrate the absolute accuracy of our under standing and treatment of this dis order. In years we have not met with a single failure, and we have entire conndence in our ability to jcure all cases that come to us for treatment. Stricture -v Our treatment of stricture Is en tirely Independent of surgery. A complete cure Is accomplished with out cutting or dilating. All growths or obstructions in the urinary pas sage are dissolved, the membranes cleansed, and all Irritations or con gestion removed, through the or gans Involved. Specific Blood Poison We cure this leprous disease com pletely. I The system is thoroughly cleansed and every poisonous taint removed. The last symptom van ishes to appear no more, and all Is accomplished by the use of harmless blood-cleansing remedies. Do not submit to the dangerous mineral dosing commonly Indulged In. Such treatment merely obscures the symptoms. Contracted Disorders Kvcry contracted disease Is at tended by grave dangers that noth ing les3 than a thorough and ab solute cure can remove. To tako iven the slightest chance In such case3 Is to invite lifelong misery. Men do not realize this as they should. A partial cure is followed by a chronic stage with all Its horrors, the same as though the disease had not been treated at all. We positively will not dismiss a patient until every possibility of a relapse is removed. By our system of treatment every patient is sound ly cured and made as free from dis ease taint as he was before the ailment was contracted. PILES Quick Cures Certain Cures We cure the worst cases of piles permanently without the use of ointments, without pain, cutting or detention from business, in from two to three treatments. Our treat ment Is entirely new and peculiar to ourselves. Remember, no mat ter who has failed before in your case, we will cure you with mild methods, and without danger, or else make no charge whatever for our services. Should you live at a distance, we can treat you successfully at home. WE ARE ALWAYS WILL ING TO WAIT FOR OUR FEE UNTIL A CURE IS EFFECTED.
