THE SU3DAYOEBGQ3PAN, PORTLAP, BEPTEMBEE 16, 1900. BOXERS ARE ACTIVE Again Making Trouble Near Pekin. MROOPS GO TO SUPPRESS THEM T3veMe Ik Bf&Bclusria Caaie Three i Rnaststn ResrlmentB to Leave tlie CklRese Capital. PEKIN, Sept. 32, via Sghangbai, Sept. 15. A squadron of he Slrth Cavalry -will leave here tomorrow to relieve-a native Christian village, which was attacked by Borers 46 miles southeast.of Pekln. Sev eral small parties have been attacked be tween Tue Chow and Hosklawan, where British and American troops are stationed. Civilians groins to Tien Tsln are warned not to travel without a military escort. The Russians have received word of re verses In Manchuria, where 20D miles of railroad has been destroyed and a number of stations have been burned. There-has been much fighting: and many Russians have been killed. Three regiments have left Pekln on their Ions' overland march to Manchuria. A gradual reduction of the Russian forces in Pekln has begun. A MESSAGE FROM COKGEH. But State Department Declines to Make It Public. "WASHINGTON, Sept 15. Minister Wu was an early caller at the State Depart ment today, and spent nearly an hour in conference with Acting Secretary Adee. He notified Mr. Adee verbally of the ap pointment of Yung Lu as an envoy, but had no further information to communl--cate. He was rather In search of news himself and was much interested in a short dispatch from Minister Conger, de scribing the conditions in Pekln. The State Department, while declining to make this message public, authorizes the state ment that it indicated no change had taken place in the political conditions In Pekln. Russia has not yet officially notified jour Government of any change in its pro gramme as to the evacuation of Pekln. In fact, nothing has been heard from Russia on this point since the United States' reply was returned, save In one short note, explanatory of some obscure points in the first Russian communication." It Is probable that the absence of fur ther communication on this subject Is to be explained by the fact that the Russian Government does not confess to any change In Its original programme. It merely gives a different Interpretation to the details of that programme from, the understanding that obtains abroad. The United States Government is fol lowing precisely the same course as to Its own note and reply, so that the effect of these diplomatic actions Is to leave the military commanders of both the United States and Russia in Pekln practi cally free to determine for themselves the propriety of evacuation, according to the conditions of the agreement. Since the first manifestation, months ago, of a disposition on the part of the naval commanders of some of the powers at Taku to interfere with the movements of JA Hung Chang, our Government has been advised of no further opposition to his projected trip to Pekin. Consequently officials here are puzzled by certain press dispatches indicating that he may be de tained through international jealousies at the mouth of the Tangtse. If this report should prove true It would only go to confirm the fears of the Administration as to the possibility of an international oonflict at almost any moment. SALISBURY'S POLICY. All That la Known Is That the Brit ish. "Will Remain In Pekln. NEW YORK, Sept 15. A. dispatch to the Tribune- from London says: Lord Salisbury has been at the Foreign Office, but there are ho immediate signs .that the situation in China has been cleared. Lon don editors certainly are as much In the dark as they were when the Premier was in the Vosges. The Times is keeping abreast with Dr. Morrison rather than fol lowing any official cues Jn forecasting -and condemning a secret understanding be tween Germany and Russia. It has been the current "belief In diplomatic circles that an understanding of this kind would be brought about but It has been based upon natural Inferences rather than upon definite information. Russia and Germany acted In concert at the close of the war between China and Japan and obtained naval stations and territory. It has been the natural suggestion that they would repeat this process in the existing crisis and there has been nothing 1n the negotiations over the retirement of the allied forces from Pekln to modify this Inference. Practically dip lomatists have been convinced that the German Emperor, after supporting Eng land strongly in South Africa during the last year, cannot be depended upon to take up British interests in China, but will be more likely to make terms with Russia. The validity of Dr. Morrison's inferences Is accepted by well-informed men in dip lomatic circles." It Ib In the natural order of events that the German" Emperor, who has ambitions of his own In the far East should have a good understanding with Russia respecting the far East. Lord Salisbury's own policy remains a mystery and only one thing can be as serted with any degree of confidence. That is that the British forces will remain In Pekln indefinitely. England being without a diplomatic ally in the Chinese compli cation will naturally maintain an attitude of masterly inactivity and decline to send away her troops until the Imperial Gov ernment has been reconstructed and some effective measures have been taken for. securing the punishment of the guilty Mandarins. Earl Lt axtd Dr. Mamm. LONDON. Sept 13. A special dispatch from Shanghai, dated Friday, September 14, says that prior to the departure of 14 Hung Chang for the North, the new German Minister, Dr. Mumm von Schwarzenstein, exchanged views with the Chinese statesman. The dispatch adds that it is "reported at Shanghai that the suggestion that a Russian cruiser escort Li Hung Chang to Taku was dropped, owing to the objection of Ad miral Seymour. The statement is reiterated that Hsu Tung, the Emperor's tutor, recently hanged himself. No Sign of Boxers. TAKU, Wednesday, Sept 12. All the Boxers against whom an expedition of. allies was sent to the westward had left the -vicinity of Tullu four days previous to the arrival- of the troops. The German and American Legation guards.have returned to -the ships. A Poor ApoIoKy. Dalles Chronicle. A Bryanlte exchange apologizes for Bryan's garbling' of the quotation from -Lincoln's inaugural address, in Bryan's speech on Labor day, by saying that . "the quotation was perfectly correct but of course Bryan jdld not give the whole message." Of course not. But the charge proven against Bryan, without a shadow of peradventufe, -is not that he aid not quote the whole message, but tha he dls hontstly refrained from quoting enough of the context to show what Lincoln meant When Lorenzo Dow took for his text "Top not come down," in order to ' make an attack on the way women used & dress their hair in his day. the quota tion was 'perfectly correct," hut he gar-i bled a text that says: "Let him-that is on the house top not come down to take anything out of his house," which has no more relation to "top knots" than Bry ant garbled extract had to his demagogic effort to create strife between capital and labor. CANNOT COLLECT THE FEE: Salem Steamboat Ordinance In Con flict With Federal L.atr. SALEM, -Sept 15. John A. Jeffreys, employed by City Recorder Judah to rep reseat, the City of Salem in the matter of collecting the dockage license fees from steamboat companies, has decided that the city cannot collect the fee. .The City Council passed an ordinance some time ago providing- "that all steamboat companles.whose boats and In this city shall ..pay ".an" annuaJUHcense fee of 550.". The companies affected by this ordinance -refused. to pay-unless theyi had. assurance that the tax was only a temporary mea sure. The 'city would not give this as surance, hut employed an attorney to 'in vestigate the legal phase of the ques tion. In a written opinion given to Re corder Judah today, Mr. Jeffreys says: "I find that the steamboats belonging to the companies operating upon the Wil lamette River are registered and working Under aGovernment license. It Is there fore my "opinion that the license ordinance -in question invalid, for the -reason that it is in conflict with the commerce clause of the Federal Constitution, .and that in attempting to collect licenses under said ordinances we would be defeated In the courts." It was expected that the settlement of the question regarding the validity of, the steamboat license would also dispose of the telephone license question, 'but as the telephone companies are -not gov erned by the same laws, the latter ques tion is still open.

SEATTLE, Wash., Sept 15. A well founded rumor has been going the rounds of the large lumber Arms .operating on the Sound lately, that a representative of the Russian Government' Was Investi gating the cost and probabilities of quick delivery of 30,000,000 feet of- lumber at Vladlvostock. The first inquiry was re ceived by a large mill In Tacoma a few weeks ago, and early In the month came a telegraphic notification from San Fran cisco to another large Sound mill that the Russians, had come to this section to Investigate the facilities of the mills for turning out the 'product It is said that all Inquiries have been based on the requirement of speedy de livery, which 'will probably be taken as having a most Important bearing on the war operations In the Orient It Is even reported by one informant that the grade of lumber asked for implies that it is to be "used for military encampments, as though extensive military operations were in contemplation. .

All the blood ln-your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they (IK ter out ihe waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do tneir work. Pains, achesandrheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to ntcf1rtirl kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they haciheart trouble, because the heart Is over-working in pumping thick, , kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary roubles, were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble.

The Copeiand system Includes ca tarrh and all catarrhal maladies. In this hard branch of practical pathology Doctor Cop'eland ranks with the very few recog nized masters now living, but under the nominal assessment plan all catarrh pa tleftts receive one entire month's treat ment, 'medicines Included, for the sum usually paid for examination alone.

' Mr. John Walters, West Portland, Or.j well known, having resided in this vicinity for 25 years: Last Winter I had grip, which developed Into a bad case of catarrh. My head was so stopped up that T could scarcely breathe. There was a watery discharge from the nose and dripping Into 'the. throat keeping lt Irri tated' and sore. I coughed a great deal, especially on getting up. I lost all sense of taste or smell. My ears' became Involved. A discharge set In and my hearing became very dull. The left ear was almost Totally Deaf. I had to turn the right ear to understand what was being said; even then I would have to be spoken to In a, very loud tone of voice. I was also terribly annoyed by ringing noises In my head. At night the character of these1 noises would change, and I seemed to feel my Heart Bent and Throb In my ear. If I laid on my left side this would be so bad that I could not sioep. My general health was also greatly Im paired. I coul'd not eat, and lost over 20 pounds In a short time. Upon the advice of friends I began treatment at the Copeiand Institute. I Improved from the first, and now am en tirely well. The catarrh has been thor oughly cured, and my Hearing Fully Restored. I was never In better condition than I am now. From my own personal experi ence I can heartily recommend the Cope land treatment to all 'catarrh sufferers. CONSULTATION THE COPELAND MEDICAL THE W.
