"Wlti the entering of pleas the declara tlM wae made that unless at least one of tko oss is Immediately settled the life f Samuel Well, vice-president of the eamp&Jiy and one of the defendants, is fci Jaopardy. He is said to be a nervous wreck, and fears were entertained for his life if he had been allowed to continue vatfor the stigma of an indictment. TJe plea was entered. It Is declared, Mftar a oemplctc understanding .had been reaehod between counsel for the defend ants and Attorney-General William H. Act of 3Icrcy to Weil. WhO in Chicago the Attorney-General was ' apprised of the condition of Vlce Ira?i4eiit Weil, and, it is said, agreed to lihe otttry of a pica .of guilty, with the un derstanding that the jail provision of the law under which the indictment was re turned should be waived and merely a floe imaosod. The Fame concession was made in the case of the other three de fendants. These fur defendants were charged with unlawfully combining and agreeing to solicit rebates for the Schwarzschild & Svtzmerger Company from the Michigan Central Railway Company, the Chicago, Reek Is land & Pacific, the Grand Trunk Western Railway, the Lehigh Valley RnMroad Company, the Boston & Maine RanHroad Company and the Mobile & Ohio Rattread Company.

' District Attorney Morrison, discussing the ease after adjaurnment of court, said: Decision Is entering Wedge. I am perfectly satisfied with the matter as it rtaBde. The defendants came into tmmri. pleaded guilty, and the Sourt nhowed toataney In hi ontence. The line Is heavy, bet the imprlsonmrnt provision Is there, the Important part of the law. It was Xtuvoi oMdmively by the Government that, utter the issuance of the injunction by JwdRe Grewcup. the Schwaraschlld &. Sulz berger Company withdrew from the coinbtna tnm. They were independent, but ms order M carry on their business in so strenuous aMapetKfen agatast the other packers it seems it was Mcoetary for them to accept rebates. The rowK today only go to show that the Gevorment has now lodged an opening wedge lata the Question of rebates. We have found a way te proceed, and it seems the proper ae. It eeoms to me that the Government is la a fair way of breaking up the entire refeMc evil in this country. Fram the books of the Government It is shewn to take evidence against the four defendants And bring about their indict ment, the Government spent $16,000. The eaes against Armour & Co. and others wore continued until next Wednesday. Mr. Morrison today filed a demurrer to the plea in abatement made yesterday y the packers defendant. The demurrer alleges Insufficiency of the allegations in the plea of the packers. DISAGREE ABOUT FORTS SWJSDEX AND NORWAY STILL KEEP QUESTION OPEN.

BLOW TO TRADE RELATIONS Relinquishment of Concession Is Vio lation of Pledge and More Harmful to America Than Boycott. DES MOINES. Ia.. Sept. -21. In an address before the Grant Club tonight. ex-Minlster to China Edwin H. Conger said that by the failure of the Amer icans to build the Chinese railway, faith had been broken with China, and America's good standing with the Chi nese seriously impaired. "We made a very serious mistake when" wo permitted our railroad conces sion In China to be relinquished,' said Mr. Conger. "It will prove a sad blow to our future efforts to establish; ad vantageous business relations with that country, it will set us back many years. "When we were granted the conces sion, personally I made representa tions to the Chinese that the railroad would be built by the Americans who got the concession, assured them upon my honor that It was not secured for the purpose of exploitation, and that It would not be sold or relinquished. Now, however. It has been, and the business men of China feel that they havo a right to look upon future business prop ositions from Americans with suspicion. "The relinquishment of the conces sion was utterly defenseless, it seems to me, after the representations which we made to the Chinese. It is vastly more harmful to this Nation than the boycott, concerning which so much has been said and written." INSPECTION IRREGULAR.

More than three fourths of the patients lying on those snow white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from opera tions inade necessary by neglect. Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrhcea, dizzi ness, flatulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities.

Miss Luella Adams,of the Colonjiade Hotel, Seattle, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "About two years ago I was a great suf ferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and finally told me that I had a tumor on the womb and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. I felt that this was my death warrant, bat I spent hundreds of dol lars for medical help, but tho tumor kept growing. Fortunately I corresponded with an aunt in the New England States, and sHe advised mo to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound, as it was said to cure tu mors. I did so and immediately began to improvo in health, and I was entirely cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, without an operation. I wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation."

She indicated that at a later time, perhaps on the conclusion of peace between herself and Japan, the holding of a second conference at The Hague would be agreeable to her. The visit of Ambassador Rosen was made with a view not only of present ing to the President formally the de sire of Emperor Nicholas, but also with a view of ascertaining whether President Roosevelt would be quite willing to waive any claim he might have on the calling of the conference, because of the steps he took last year, so that Emperor Nicholas and himself might Issue the call. The Prosldent expressed himself as delighted to yield to the wish of tho Russian Em peror, and Ambassador Rosen already has informed the Emperor Informally of the President's acquiescence. A formal reply to the Emperor will be sont to him by the President through Secretary Root. The reply was discussed last night, but It has not ben rut Into definite form. .
