The Foreign Office this evening Informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that the collect ive note adopted by the foreign Minis ters at Pekln having been submitted to the governments. It was soon to be unan imously accepted. It was pointed out that there was a paragraph therein sug gesting that the home governments ex press their wishes, and It was suggested that the United States might have done bo, but the officials referred to decline to give any further details, pleading the necessity for preserving diplomatic se crecy. They Insisted that Minister Conger had acted throughout In harmony with ell the foreign representatives. Andrew D.

Secretary Hay's note, appealing to the powers to devise measures to bring about an amicable and satisfactory settlement of the Chinese crista, has been received at the Foreign Office, through Lord Pauncefote. the Brit ish Ambassador at Washington, but it has not yet been answered. The note points out that the difficulties of getting China to execute the punishments desired by the powers are so great as to make. in- the opinion of the United States, this way of solving the crisis almost impracu cable. The note does not propose any definite substitute, but suggests an ex change of views, whereby the powers can arrive at a better basis of treating China. Judging from the Foreign Office opinion, voiced in these dispatches today. Great Britain Is likely to assent gladly to Sec retary Hay's proposition. Expedition Up the Tnngrtse. LONDON. Nov. 24. According to the Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post, there Is a grain of truth In the rumor of an expedition up the Yangtse. "Such a movement," he says, "would cause a conflagration among the Chinese, who would submit to British occupation, but dread German Interference." Illness of the Dorrnprer Empress. LONDON, Nov. 25.

HILL DENIES THE STORY. Says He Has Not Secured Control of Northern Pacific. SEATTLE, Nov. 24. In a special from New York City to the Times, signed by Alden J. Blethen, editor-lh-chlef of the paper, the following appears: "I may say to the people of Washing- ton that reports sent out to the effect that I have secured control of the North ern Pacific and that the Great Northern Company has guaranteed anything for the Northern Pacific cither or both are absolutely untrue." These were the words of James J Hill to Mr. Blethen at his office at 27 Pine street. New York City, Thursday even ing. Mr. Hill further stated, however, that the abolishment of the voting trust which had controlled the Northern Pa cific for several years, nnd was to ex tend one year more by the organization terms, will expire with January 1 next, and that the relations which have recent ly been established between the Great Northerjvand Northern- Pacific Companies are most amicable and satisfactory from every standpoint. Mr Hill further stated that the mutual arrangements for union depot facilities and railway terminals In Seattle were progressing most satisfactorily, no hitch "having occurred, and there were no pros pects of other than a harmonious set tlement of all arrangements made, result ing In a complete unity of action In be half of the union depot scheme. CROW'S NEST COAL. Canadian Pacific to Tap It With a Nevr Road. VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 24. A spe cial from Nelson says that the Canadian Pacific 1j about to construct a short line to the Kootenai district to meet the main line of the overland road at Golden and tap the Crow's Nes coal fields. The pro posed route Is through the Windermere and Fort Steele districts, and will bring the Crow's Nest fields Into direct connec tion with the Pacific Coast towns. The new road will make It possible to deliver coal on the Coast In competition with the collieries of Vancouver Island. LOGGING ROAD FOR NEHALEM. Four Miles Ready for Track, Which Will Soon Be Laid. Messrs. Bell & Day, who are building a logging railroad from Goble to Nehalem, have about four miles of the grade com pleted and ready to lay ties and rails. The grade reaches the timber and the work of transporting It can begin .soon as the track shall be completed. The new road loaves the Northern Pacific track a few hundred yards south of Goble sta tion, and follows up Goble Creek to fine Hr timber. The plan Is said to contem plate crossing the divide to the head waters of the Clatskanle. thence by way of Caples Creek, the Little Nehalem and Ross Creok to the main divide and down either Wilson River or the Trask to Tilla mook Bay Neither Mr. Day nor Mr. Bell will disclose what their plans are. though they say they have secured right of way a distance of about 12 miles to the Nehalem. For the remainder of the dis tance the enterprise appears to be some what Indefinite. The men say the road Is designed primarily as a logging railroad. They expect to haul timber out and boom ltln the Columbia River. It is said that these men have obtained the Interest of the late Mr. Borthwlck in the Goble mill property and will supply logs by rail to rnn that Institution. A fit. Helen paper says that Edward TvlJiPH Bittltr mechanic and bridge- builder of Portland, has a dozen men at work on the bridges and trestles of the Coble, Nehalem & Tillamook Railroad, by which ambitious name the new road is known. Sixty men have been at work four months on the grade. It will take about two weeks to drive the piling for the trestle and rollway on the east side of the Northern Pacific track. convenient to the river, and when this shall be done the work of laying the track on the four miles of grade will go forward. This road is aiming for a large tract of timber that Is owned by Foss & Hall, Michigan lumbermen, who defended a few years ago an attempt made In the Land Office to set aside as fraudulent the en tries under which they obtained the land. Russell A. Alger Is supposed to have some Interest in the concern. KRUGER AND LOUBET. (Continued from First Pstre.) reached the central portion of the city the sidewalks were blocked and every window was filled with sightseers, trees had been climbed and boxes, chairs and ladders were brought into use to permit a glimpse of the noted stranger. Within two blocks of the hotel the streets were so crowded that progress was Impeded. The police precautions were very strin gent. The streets for half a block from the hotel were cordoned by rows of mounted Republican Guards, augmented by files of armed Municipal Guards. Over" the entire route from the station to the hotel enthusiastic cries greeted Mr. Kru ger. Shout after shout arose until there was a continuous roar of cheering. When, the Boer President entered the cleared area In front of the hotel, the demonstration was uproarious. Mr. Kru ger, bareheaded, bowed on all sides, while the air was rent with cries of "Vive Kruger," "Vive les Boers." Mr. Krugcr quickly alighted from his carriage and entered the hotel, but the mass of specta tors was not satisfied, and the people shouted, yelled and clapped their hands in chorus until a window on the balcony was opened and Mr. Kruger appeared. Then hats were again thrown in the air and tho shouting was resumed with vigor. Handkerchiefs and flags were waved, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The scene before the hotel continued for over an hour. A body of students, bearing flags, attempted to march past the hotel, but was stopped. Nothing daunted, the students broke into cries and songs until Mr. Kruger again appeared In response to their demonstration, after which he re tired for luncheon. A sight which stirred the feelings of the crowd to the utmost wao the appearance on tho balcony of the great-grandchildren of Mr. Kruger. waving a Boer flag. The little ones were cheered to the echo, as, held aloft by a sen-ant, they unfurled the Boer colors. No Anti-British Disturbance. Through all this fervid welcome, antl Brltish sentiment did not appear. The cries were confined to plaudits of Mr. Kru ger and the Boers. If there were any shouts opposed to Great Britain they were not heard In the general tumult. So direct had been the warnings of the Prefect of Police, M. Lepine, to cause the arrest of persons raising anti-British shouts and so omnipresent were the po lice that any person desiring to give ut terance to anti-British sentiments would hardly have dared to do so. There was but one incident bearing any resemblance of this sort. Opposite an English store and on Its balcony stood many specta tors. When Mr. Kruger appeared on -the balcony of the hotel some one In the crowd noticed that the men on the store balcony wore their hats. Immediately a cry of "hats off" was directed at them, and the men on the balcony, appreciating the situation! uncovered, and the crowd heaved a great "Ah!" as some one cried, tauntingly: "Do you rpeak English?" in very broken English, and the affair was ended. ' Along the route flowers were thrown Into Mr. Kruger's landau and women tossed their handkerchiefs In his direc tion. Mr. Kruger smiled and regarded with curiosity the balconies and roofs. which were alive with people. On his ar- ! rival at the hotel Mr. Krugcr was greeted on the threshold with the Boer hymn, sung by the children of the Transvaal Consul, to which Mr. Kruger listened with tears In his eyes. Mr. Krugcr at his hotel received In suc cession a number of delegations, including one from the Nationalist Deputies, headed by MM. Mlllevole and Lasies. He after ward received the Prefect of Police, M. Lepine. and M. Lebolse Marquell, a broth er of the famous Colonel who was killed In South Africa while fighting for the Boers. Mr. Kruger then retired to his room, declared he was fatigued, and said he would see nobody. M. Crozler. Chief of tho Protocol, called at 2:15 P. M., and Mr. Kruger, who was sleeping, rose to receive him. M. Crozler announced that President Loubct was prepared tp receive Mr. Kruger at 4 o'clock, and the tired traveler prepared himself to visit the Elysee. While the crowd before the hotel decreased some what, a considerable concourse remained shouting Mr. Kruger's name. Received by Loubct. At 4 o'clock a landau from the Elysee Palace was driven to the Hotel Scribe, and Mr. Kruger, his Interpreter and M. Crozler proceeded to the Elysee, escorted by a strong detachment of Cuirassiers. The scenes of enthusiasm of the morning were repeated. tMr. Kruger was received at the Elysee with great ceremonies, such as were accorded to the sovereigns who visited the exposition. A band drawn up In the courtyard rendered the honors. President Loubet received Mr. Kruger In the Hall of Ambassadors, where M. JJel casse, Minister of Foreign Affairs, was also waiting him. The Interview lasted several minutes. Mr. Kruger then returned to his hotel with the same ceremonial. The Boer statesman wore across the breast of his frock coat a green scarf with a red bor der, the insignia of his office as Presi dent of the South African Republic. He also wore the cross of the Legion of Honor. M. Loubet returned Mr. Kruger's visit at 4:30 P. M. The French President was warmly acclaimed during his drive to the Hotel Scribe, and during his stay at the hotel the crowds raised alternate shouts of "Vive Kruger" and "Vive Loubet." Mr. Kruger withdrew to his own room and declined to see further visitors, even the Ministers of the Municipal Council, who were anxious to ascertain the day on which he would accept a reception at the Hotel de Vllle, being refused. Mr. Kruser dined with members of his family at 6:30. He was very much fatigued, and retired early. He will not leave the hotel tomor row, even to attend Protestant services, nor will ho receive any visitors. Rumor of Plot Apalnt Kroger. NEW YORK. Nov. 24. A London dis patch to the Journal and Advertiser says: There are rumors that an attempt wilt be made to assassinate Kruger. Informa tion has been conveyed to the authorities of an alleged plan to be executed at Paris at the banquet. Kruger's friends have been notified to be watchful.

I tvas ex tremely sick for thre wetks. and -when I finally wai able to leave my bd I was lft with excruciating pains In my back. My water at times looked very like coffee. I could pass but little at a time, and then only after suf fering great pain. My physical condition was such that I had no strength and was all run down. The doctors said my kidneys were not affected, but I felt certain that they were the causq of my trouble.. My sister, Mrs. C. E. Wttlefleld. of Lynn, advised me to lve Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root a trial. I procured a bottle, nnd inside of three days commenced to get relief. I followed up that bottle with an other, and nt the completion of this one found I was completely cured. My strength returned, and today I am as well as ever. My business is that of canvasser.

Proceedings of the Finnl Session Memorial to Congress Adopted Papers Rend. CHICAGO. Nov. 24. The National Irri gation Congress decided to hold two meet ings next year, In Colorado Springs and In Buffalo. The congress was late In coming to order today, owing to the discussions in the committee on resolutions. While waiting for the committee to report, the convention listened to Colonel John S. Cooper, of Chicago, president of the Na tional Park Association, who read an ex tensive paper on "The Proposed Na tional Minnesota Park." When Colonel Cooper had concluded, the committee on resolutions reported the following: "We hail with satisfaction that both of the great political parties of the Na tion in their platform In the last cam paign declared In favor of the reclama tion of 'arid America,' In order that set tlers might build homes on the public domain, and to that end we urge upon Congress that National appropriations commensurate with the magnitude of the problem should be made for the preser vation of the forest and the reforestation of the denuded area as natural storage reservoirs, and for the construction by the National Govenment, as a part of Its policy of Internal storage reservoirs and other works for flood protections, and to save for use In aid of navigation and Irrigation the waters which now run to waste, and for the development of ar tesian and subterranean sources of water supplies. The water of all streams should forever remain subject to the public con trol, and the right to the use of water for Irrigation should inhere in the land Irrigated, and beneficial use be the bis's, the measure and the limit of the right. The work of building the reservoirs nec essary to store the floods should be done directly by the Government, undr exist ing statutes relating to the employment of labor and hours of work, and under laws that will give to all American citi zens a fair and equal opportunity to get first employment, and then a home on the land." The afternoon session was devoted to addresses. Those who spoke were Tom L. Cannon, secretary of the St. Louis Manufacturers' Association: Charles Truax. Elliott Durand and B. G.

It Is a rare thing for Thomas B. Reed, the only ex-czar In the world, once of Maine and Washington, now a plodding New York lawyer, to make an after-dinner speech, says the New York World. Mr. Reed has been very reticent since he came to New York. Friday night he departed from his usual custom and made a speech at the birth day 'dinner tendered to General O. O. Howard, at the Waldorf-Astoria. A verbatim report of Mr. Reed's speech Is as follows: "New York is the great city, on Its way to be the greatest In the world. It has, however, with all Its size and virtues some Inconveniences. One of Its faults Is lpaccuracy. "Those of us who have passed our lives among bucolic scenes and have not learned the art of distrust, have to suffer much. If I did not know General How ard to be strong and courageous beyond any proof, I should feel solicitous about his wandering down here from the sweet simplicity of Vermont. "Even the comparative sophistication of Maine "has not saved me this evening. It was said to me that this would be a quiet, Informal gathering, some remarks and no speeches. Almost before I had been securely fastened there came by mall a long list of officials, looking like a list of a committee of one hundred to revolutionize the world, and I whispered to myself gently, with a smile. 'How very, very Informal New York always is I' When two days later, another official wanted a copy of my discourse for the papers, then I knew what had happened to me. "Just think what an opening for a young man. All the rhetoric I chose to 'vrlte and all of It In tomorrow's paper, and rhetoric Is not difficult If you have not got tired of it. "You need not shudder. I never did live up to my opportunities. You shall be spared And yet the themes called up by the General's martial fame and 'figure are tempting beyond compare. There Is the whole Civil War wide open to vi"w. with its noble principles and its splendid results. Men thought that a war more sacred than the Revolution Itself, for the Revolution was a war for our liberties this for the lib erty of "all. How easy and ap propriate it might be to rehearse the great battles and the mighty sieges. Gen eral Howard's name adorned so many of them that you can hardly fall if you touched upon them at random to make his heart heat strong" with the memories of those great days of storm and stress. "But I shall indulge In no rhetoric. My purpose and presence here Is to honor the General, not to praise him. One thing that can be said of him Is that he began llf aright He was born In Maine. That was a proner beginning. Before he went to West Point lie laid the founda tion for learning by graduating at Bow doln College, where perhaps all of our very best citizens were' educated.

Investigate the Evidence of Your Friends and Neighbors Success the There Is no question as to the high character of the testimony that has been offered the people' of Portland and vicinity by Drs. Copeland and Montgom eryit Is from well-known and respected citizens. It Is not from obscure or unknown people. In every case is the full name and address given, and in most cases a portrait of the person making the statement Not only this, but thoseoffering this evi dence do so from a feeling of gratitude for benefits received, and are ready to corroborate the statements at any .time. Every day persons call at the offices of Drs. Copeland and Montgomery, In the Dekum building, for examination and treatment who make remarks like this: "I know Mr. Long and I know Mr. Farrell, and when I saw their statements I knew it was all right, for they are reliable men." Drs. Copeland and Montgom ery are not performing miracles, nor are they doing anything so unusual or extraordinary that Is beyond belief. They are doing that to which they have devoted their lives that Is, cur ing catarrh and Its protracted train of fatal Ills. Their suc cess Is not Incredible; on the contrary. It Is to be expected. They have spent years of time and study on the subject of cur ing catarrh, and their success Is due to that study and experience. READ THIS TESTIMONY AND JUDGE GRIP AND ITS TERRIBLE AFTER EFFECTS. Mm. J. Dnlit, 301 Ivon street, Port larid, relates her experience with the Copeland physicians as follows: "Three years ago this Winter I had a severe attack of grip, and, like many others, I thought It was little more than a cold, and while I suffered greatly with It at that time I expected It would soon pass away, but Instead of passing away It 'seemed to take on a chronic form and stay with me. "It vras not long until I noticed that I vras losing strength nnd freight, and I Trns feeling very bad all .the time. I had a cough nnd soreness through my chest nnd lungs I raised quantities of pink, frothy mucus and had nightstveats. My appetite Tras changeable and un certain; I vras very short of breath and could not tnlce a long hreath withont severe pain, especially In my right lung. I felt miserable.

I ha'd little ambition an'd hardly life enbugh "to care vrhcthec I got Trcll or not. "My sister, Mrs. Sam Strebln. of Trout dale, and her family had been treating with the Copeland physicians and were greatly pleased with their treatment. She came to see me one day and was so much alarmed over my condition that she would not rest until I went up to their offlco with her. After the .doctor made a care ful examination of my case he said he thought I would get well with proper treatment and good care.

"We have the right not only to recog nize the high place he occupies among commanders, but to congratulate him on the lofty life he has lived wherein the uniform played no part.

They were answered by Dr. R. Fleet Spelr, Dr. Robert Ormiston, Dr. Mitchell. Dr. J. C. Hutchinson, Judge Daily, Professor Charles K. West and others who examined her and tested her occult powers.
