,NO MORE CHINESE COOLIES
British Parliament Votes Condemna
tion, or System in Arrica.
LONDON, Feb. 23. An amendment to
Ihe address to the throne in reply to the
King's speech at the opening of Parlia
ment, expressing regret at the fact that
the government' had brought the reputa
tion of the country into contempt by de
scribing the employment of Chinese in
South Africa as slavery, was defeated in
the House of Commons this afternoon by
J16 to 91 votes.
The debate, which lasted two days, dc.J
vc loped much bitterness. Mr. Chamber
lain asserted that he had been informed
that the mining magnates had approved
the government's proposals, which could
tiot be carded out for several years.
Premier Campbcll-Bannerman hero" In
terrupted Mr. Chamberlain, saying that
the statement was false.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Asquith.
who was the principal speaker today in
behalf of the government, said that,
though it would like to do so, the gov
ernment could not take a wet sponge and
wipe the hateful ordinance off the slate.
However, no new licenses for the Im
portation of coolies would be issued, and
all coolies desiring to leave South Africa
would be repatriated at the cost of the
Imperial exchequer. When a responsible
government was established In the Trans
aal, it would have full power to deter
mine whether to retain the Chinese. But
the conditions would be subject to the as
sent of the Imperial government.

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS COM
PLETE THEIR WORK.
Reports Concerning Affairs at Battle
Creek, 3IIch., Are Declared
Not to Be Serious.
G. A. Irwin, vice-president of the Gen
eral Conference of the Seventh-Day Ad
ventists. addressed the convention of the
Pacific Union Conference yesterday morn-
,lng between ,9 and 10 o'clock on conditions
which have obtained In Battle Creek.
Mich., the former headquarters of the de
Hominatlona Various reports had been
circulated In the "West concerning affairs
,at Rattle Creek to the effect that all was
wet peace and harmony, and it was rc
jieted that a. .spHt 4nrtuc denomination
wag- Imminent. The speaker referred to
and read extracts from communications
which the leaders of the general confer
ence and' prominent men at Battle Creek
had received from Mrs. E. G. White as
to the dangers. In a moral and religious
way. to young people of the denomina
tion In going to Battle Creek to obtain
their education.
"The reasons, as they appear." said
the speaker, "for these advices and warn
ings, which had come to the young peo
ple of the church, arc that skepticism
and influences which are dangerous to
their religious Interests prevail In' that
city on account of the attitude sustained
by some Influential men of the denomina
tion there."
Mr. Irwin emphaplzed the thought that
these conditions did not support the Im
pression that had gone out that there was
or might be a split In the denomination.
"Some of these men." said Mr. Irwin,
"may apostatize entirely, as has occurred
In Instances heretofore, but the denomina
tion as a body is a unit, and is with the
work for which It stands, moving on with
the brightest outlook for final triumph."
At the conclusion of the remarks by Mr.
Irwin the delegates ioted unanimously
that the President McDanJolls, of the
general conference, be assured of the loy
alty of the conference on the Pacific
Coast to the work the denomination Is
now" doing and for which It has existed
for 50 years.
Following thu? address, the union con
ference concluded the work of the session.

on education relative to the revision of
the Christian readers and the publication
of another edition. Parts of this report

new conferences, W. B. White, north, and
H. W. Cottrell. south, with A. J. Breed,
M. C. Chrlstensen and W. T. Knox, which
carried also a recommendation that $1000
be retained out of the funds before it be
divided to meet any expenso that may be
Incurred In revision aiid republication of
the text books. Establishment of schol
arships was favored.
A resolution was read by E. L. Stewart,
from the committee on distribution of la
bor, restricting u of tithes to evange
listic work and paying for Bible teach
ers In training schools. It called out ex
haustive discussion, and finally the gen
eral conference resolution was adopted
covering use of the tithes, as It was con
sidered more flexible.
F. M. Burg, formerly president of the
Western Oregon conference, was con
firmed as the president of the Montana
conference. That conference had -elected
Mr. Burg to that responsible place. Thoro
are about 600 members In Montana. J. A.
Holbrook. formerly president, "resigned to
go elsewhere. Mr. Btny; is well known In
Oregon. G. H. Snyder was transferred

J. Breed and M. C. Cady were appointed
to take necessary steps for the legal
transfer of the Walla Walla college to

.large amount of detail work marked the
closing hours of the convention of the
union conference. Much of the legislation
had to be referred to the two confer
ences for final disposition, and much of
the local legislative work for the confer
ences was placed in the hands of the ex
ecutive committees of tho two confer
ences. The matter of publishing a paper
as the organ of the North. Pacific union
conference was left with the executive
committee. The -division of the funds be

ASK FOR BELT LINE

0. R. & N. OPPOSES IT
Fears a. Competing lane and Pre
sents a Tctition or Its Own
Covering About the Same
Territory.
Evidently the O. R. & N. perceives the
ghost of a competing line in the appli
cation of the East Side Belt Line Rail
way for a franchise to construct an elec
tric road in the manufacturing districts
of tho Ean Side, If the efforts of the
Harrlman Interests to block the new as
pirant is any criterion.
Last night the Joint street and Judi
ciary and elections committees of tho
Council met for the purpose of consider
ing the claims of both sides, and. after
listening to the reading of the two separ
ate applications for franchises, postponed
further hearing for a fortnight.

O. R. & N. Flics Petition.
The application for a franchise for an
electric road covering the district Indi
cated was filed February 7, and the O. R.
& N. people got busy as soon as they
heard about it. On the same date they
petitioned the Council for a franchise
"extending from a connection with the
constructed, railroad of said company at
the Intersection of East Ankeny street
and East Second street, and thence In a
southeasterly direction crossing East Ash
street to East Third street, and extend
ing thence southerly along East Third
street from a point between East Ash
street and East Pine street to East Mill
street."
Call Attention to Petition.
Referring to the application of the O.
R. & N. for a franchise, owners of prop
erty lying along that part of East Third
street over which Its track Ip proposed
to be run. called attention in a petition
filed with the committee to the great
benefit such a track would be to property
all along said street and the district In
general by opening up that section for
warehouse and similar purposes, for
which use it was claimed to be rolely
suited, and asking that the Council re
quire the O. R. & N.. by way of compen
sation for the franchise, to make a fill
In the street to the established grade
thereof, the fill to be 20 feet wide on the
surface and ten feet wide on either ide
of the center line of the street, and that
Pthc mailing of the fill should be In lieu
of any other compensation for the fran
chise, but shall not exempt the franchise
from general taxation.

Mr. Fcnton. Whitney L. Boise and E.

mittee in favor of the O. R. &. N. project,
claiming, that the signers to their peti
tion represented TO' per cent of the abut
ting property-owners, and 93 per cent of
the frontage in the warehouse district
proper between East Washington street
and Hawthorne avenue. According to
Mr. Boise, H. H. Newhall and Joseph
Hcalcy. the reputed promoters of the belt
line railway company were mere figure
heads, and he hinted at some Sark. mys
terious force behind them, while .Mr.
Brannlck ridiculed the idea that it was
intended as a passenger road, and won
dered what revenue they expected to de
rive from tho swamps and bogs of their
proposed route.
"Let them get back a few blocks." said
he. "where they can secure passengers,
and where they will not have to build
trestles."
Cost of the Fills.
Fenton csUtaiicd the cost of making
the fills at $8.OCt0. and thought this was
sufficient compensation to the city for the
franchise.
Municipal Judge Cameron, who appeared
for Newhall and Hcaley. claims that the
route proposedtoy his clients is the only
independent outlet left on -the East Side,
and that the. opposition of the O. R. &
N. Is based upon the presumption that
some competing road is coming in
over their tracks, simply because their
application for a franchise contains the
provision that any line can use their
road.

he went at the bag and kept a tattoo on

Brown, the crack welter from the south,
who recently defeated Warren Zurbrick

A Prisoner Amid Plenty
Aggravated Case of Ulcerated Leg Nine
Sores at One Time.
Specialists Said Only Amputation "Would .Save Life4'
And Yet a Cure Was Effected.
Another Wonderful
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lloyd are well-known in Plains,
Pa., where they arc both leading members of the M. E.
Church. Mr. Lloyd has been for 18 years engineer at the
Hennery Colliery. Mrs. Lloyd writes this frank statement:
"I have waited a year and a half before writiqg this
letter, that I might be sure my cure was permanent, and I
am now convinced that it is.
"It was five years ngo that my trouble came, first
appearing as an eruption on my left leg below the knee.
It Epread rapidly in little pimple-like spots, nntil the whole
jtiiib from hip to toes was affected.
As it grew no better, I consulted physicians and
Vaitold I had an aggravated case of ulcerated leg.
v "I paid one physician $100 for nine months treat-
and then he .frankly told me
Mfc3, as I could not be cured.
"Another specialist in Pittston to whom I went, said,
after several calls, that unles3 I had the flesh on the leg
laid open and the bone scraped, blood poisoning would set
in, and then only amputation would save my life.
" Disheartened I returned home and my agony was
increased by the breaking out of nine good-sized ulcers on
And about my ankle.
"I had everything to live for and yet I was a prisoner
amid plenty in my own home.
" I wore rubber bandages so long that the muscles and
cords of my leg were also seriously affected.
"We had been giving Hood's Sarsaparilla to the.
children as a spring medicine, and as there happened to be
two-thirds of a bottle left I thought I would take it myself.
" In less than a week I felt hopeful, for the terrible ,
pain in my ankle had become less agonizing and I felt
better otherwise.
"Then I bought 3 dozen bottles and it was with a
heart teeming with joy that I found in a short time that I
could move about on crutches.
" It was a year before I fully recovered, but then my
leg was entirely healed, the ulcers all gone, and my general
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Purifies, vitalizes and enriches the blood, creates a good appetite, steadies the nerves

Doan's Kidney Pills In 1002 I had a con
stant soreness in the small of the back,
and to stoop or straighten caused the pain
to catch me hard in the back. There was
also a weakness of the action of the kid
neys, very noticeable at night, and the
secretions contained a sediment. Having
tried one remedy after another without
results, I finally began using Doan's Kid
nry Pills. 1 found benefit from the start,
and In time they completely rld'mc of'the
aching and pain In the back, corrected the
secretions and brought thorough relief.
The above facts I related in substance in
a testimonial given at that time, which I
am pleased to confirm now."
