PRINCE C
lis
Situation Made Mor6 (Com
plicated by Sudden Eise of
Father of Aspirant to
Throne of China Fi
nances Totter.
(United Freas Leaned Wire.) v
Pekln. Nov. 17. Prince Ching, presi
dent of $he board of foreign affairs and
head of the army, has risen suddenly
to be the most prominent figure In
China. Even Prince Chun, the regent,
has asked the support of Prince Chlng,
who Is now guarding the Imperial pal
ace with several hundred selected men.
The situation it particularly tense, since
Prince Chlng is the father of Prince
Taa'i Fu. who is one of the claimants to
the throne and who is on his way to
the United States as envoy extraordi
nary to express thanks for the remis
sion of the Boxer indemnity.
Among the many eventualities which
are conjectured Is that Chlng might
fain control of the government and put
sat Fu upon the throne yet.
The financial Situation is extremely
grave. Over 20 exchanges in Pekln have
Been affected by the double death in
the roya family. Native brinks are hav
ing great difficulties and many are in
danger or suspension.
Kumors that the empress committed
suicide have gained widespread public
ity in the last 24 hours, but no official
statement as to the cause of her death
or the direct cause of the demise of the
emperor has been Issued.
That the new government fears an
attack by the revolutionists Is denied,
but the regent is usLng every effort
to bring formidable support to his ad
ministration, and the most urgent tac
tics aTe being employed.
Toklo, Nov. 17. Advices received
here from Pekln i say that the palace
gates are guarded and that entrance is
refused to all persons except after the
most rigid examination.
The rumor that the empress com
mitted siriride after fasting for nearly
a week Is becoming stronger.
The Chinese revolutionary students in
this city are holding meetings and are
being watched closely by the police.
Toklo stocks are still down, after
the slump of yesterday.

BRING BAPTISTS
HERE NEXT JUNE
Sixteen hundred people, representing
the 18 Baptist churches of the city, at
tended the fourth annual rally of the
Baptist churches of Portland at the
White Temple -last night. An effort
wfirB made to work up enthusiasm for
the northern Baptist convention, which
Is to. be held here next June. The Bap
tists hope to be able to Induce 1,000
laymen to attend the convention, in ad
dition to the large numtfer of clergymen
who will be present.
Dr. Brougher, speaking on this sub
ject, advanced the Idea that perhaps the
White Temple would not be large
enough to hold them all, and declared
that in the near future he intended to
try to induce the commercial bodies of
the city to take up the work- of secur
ing the erection of a large convention
hall capable of seating 6,000 or 8,000
persons.
At last night's meeting the following
men were chosen members of the board
of city mission union: H. W. Stone,
Will S. Hale, W. L. Morgan, O. P. Ja
mison, F. B. Rutherford, James F. Fall
ing. C. B. Toung, Alex Scott, E. M.

Deep Waterways Men Meet
at Baltimore on Im
portant Project.
(Special Dispatch to Tha Journal, k
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 17. The Atlan
tic Deep Waterways association, which
waa formed for the purpose of arousing
public Interest in the plan of construct
ing deep inland waterways all the way
from Boston to Key West, opened a
three days' session here today. The at
tendance Is unusually large and every
state along; the Atlantic coast Is rep
resented, as well as the gulf etates and
several other states not contiguous to
the sea or any part of it.
The principal matter before the meet
ing is the discussion of the plan sug
gested In a resolution adopted by a
meeting of the delegates from the At
lantic seaboard ' states, held in Phila
delphia some time ago. The plan rec
ommended by the Philadelphia confer
ence contemplates the opening of ship
canals and deepening of intervening
rivers and anDroaches from Norfolk.
Va.. southward to Key West. Fla., from I
Chesapeake bay to Delaware bay, and
from the Delaware river to' the Rarltan '
river, and aoross Cape Cod, along the I
lines approved by congress aa the most I
practical. It Is proposed that the work i
shall be undertaken by the federal gov-
eminent and that all the canals" and
waterways shall be free. Many proml
nent men are among the delegates and
the list of speakers includes uongress
man J. Hampton Moore, president of the
association; Governor Crothera of Mary
land, Mayor Mahool of Baltimore and
many others.
SECURE CHANGE
III ACT HIS
Senator Charles W. Fulton has prom
ised members of the Oregon & Wash
ington Lumber Manufacturers' associa
tion that he will take hia proposed
amendment to the Interstate commerce
act before the coming session of con
gress with hones of having it adopted.
The amendment was Introduced at the
last session of congress and referred to
the committee on interstate commerce
and there it rests.
The proposed amendment Is to the
effect thai in future if a railroad de
sires to alter Its tariffs on a commod
ity It must before making the change
submit the matter to the Interstate
commerce commission for approval. As
the matter now stands the railroads
make the desired change and leave it
to the publio to come before the Inter
state commerce commission with their
complaints after the new rates have
already been established. In other
words, it is contended, that the remedy
is not available -until after the injury
has been inflicted. g.
Senator Fulton started for Washing
ton Sunday and he promised then that
he would leave no stone unturned again
to bring the matter before congress.
The cost of a high-grade Panama

GRAPE-NUTS food is a genuine, trustworthy Brain Food.
WHY? It contains in digestible form the natural food elements taken from
Nature's storehouse, the field .grains, which the life forces select to
build the soft gray filling of the brain. Phosphate of Potash, Albumen
and water are the only things that make it, and these elements are in
Grape-Nuts and will be absorbed by the system when the same things
taken as drugs will not, for Dame Nature is a more skillful compound
