THE VIEWS OF SENATOR MORGAN
"Why Uncle Sam Should Not Stand Idly
By and Bee the Dismember
ment of China.
St. Pbteksburg, Dec. 27. The Rue
eiana nave occupied Kin Chow north of
Port Arthur.
Uncle Sam Not Disinterested.
New York, Dec. 27. According to a
Washington correspondent of the Her
ald, Senator Morgan, of the cemmittee
on toreign relations, said tonight that it
wonld be impossible for the United
States to remain complacent should Eu
ropean nations undertake the dismem
berment of China. Senator Morgan
said.' . ,
"If partition of China involves the
abrogation of treaties, this country
would be left to make terms with each
European nation separately in the ter
ritory to which its severeignty extended ;
therefore, unless the powers now ambi
tious for territorial extension, take into
account the character of our commercial
. relations it will be necessary for the
government to intervene in self-defense.
"If the cession is absolute, then
American interests must be taken care
of through the treaties of America and
the country to which the absolute ses
sion is made respectively. If the terri
tory is given up merely for a time, there
will be a mixed responsibility, and it is
a good time for intervention and the ex
ercise of American diplomacy.
"The German occupation of a part of
China and the prospective occupation of
other parts by various European nations
is an effort to complete a cordon of of
fenses against American commerce from
Vladivostock to Marseilles or to Liver
pool. That cordon it being stretched to
contract the trade of 600,000,000 people
who have direct trade and intercourse
with the Pacific ocean.
"There is a great deal in the Chinese
problem that vitally interests Ameri
cans and demands action by the state
department and by congress.
Mrs. I.uetgerts Brother.
TusBLO, Dec. 27. Herman Bicklese,
who is said to be a. brother of Louisa
Luetgert, and who is also said to be an
inmate of the state insane asylum here,
is not in that institution at present. A
man of that name was committed to the
asylum in 1888, but was discharged some
five months later and is said to be a
resident of Pueblo, but diligent search
fails to locate him here. At the time of
his committal it was thought that he
was rather weak minded, not absolutely
insane.
Some communications have been had
by the attorneys for Luetgert with Supt.
Tombs, of the asylum, but he is not able
to throw any light on the case. Nothing
definite is known as to whether the man
named ft a brother te Mrs. Luetgert or
not.

As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and c impletely derange ' the

damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.

A Step Toward Co-operation.
Washington, Dec. 27. Secretary Al
ger has received word that Hon. Clifford
Sifton, Canadian minister of the inter
ior, and J. A. McKenna, of the same de
partment, by invitation of Alger, will
arrive here tonight to confer with' the
secretary regarding the pending Klon
dike relief measures. The secretary
originally intended to go to Ottawa but
has been deterred by the grip which
keeps him closely confined at his
home.
Alger hopes with a personal confer
ence with the Canadian officials to ar
range for a permit from the Canadian
government for fifty United States army
men to serve as guards for an expedition
to pass through Canadian territory.
Another object of the conference is to
adjust some customs subjects involved
in the expedition, such, for instance, as
remission of duties on food supplies to
be sent in. Another object is to secure
the co-operation of the Canadian
mounted police, which it is not doubted
will be cheerfully extended and will be
of great value, through their familiarity
with the country through which the
expedition must pass.
A cablegram ' was received today by
the secretary from Kjellman, the gov
ernment reindeer-herder, now in Alten,
Norway, stating that he is busy collect
ing the reindeer needed for the trans
portation of supplies to the Klondike.
How to Iioolc Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bilious look ;
if your kidneys be effected, you have a
pinched look. Secure good health and
you will surely have good looks. "Elec
tric Bitters" is a good Alternative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach
liver and kidneys. Purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at Blakeley & Hough
