Paris, March 27. Inquiry late lant night tends to strongly confirm the statement in lant evening's dispatch that approaches toward peace between itunnia and Japan have already begun at a private conference in a Northern Kuroeau capital. In view of the statement from Bt. Petersburg that K)urpar!orn were going on in Paris, the 'Associated Press lant night called at tho IttipIan embassy and at thu Jap anese legation. Ambawodor NelidofI stated sKlfically that ho knew noth ing about such negotiations Indng in progress here, and Minister Montono, whllu declining to discuss the general question of peace, authorized the state ment that no pourparlers were occurr ing in Paris. At the foreign olllco it was also stntcl that olllclals there were not aware of stejw toward pence. Tho foregoing statements by Count Nelidoff and Dr. Montono, whllo indi cating that negotiations aro not pro ceeding bore, do not alter tho main statement that pence preliminaries are atually progressing eleewhero. The real explanation is probably to bo found in tho Paris dispatch of last evening that a preliminary conference had already been held nt a northern capital. There aro strong indications tlmt this capital la Stockholm, and that the negotiations will to conducted at Stockholm, if the preliminaries prove successful. Copenhagen also is men tioned, but it is understood that the point was raised against past or future conferences there that there is n largo and influential Ilritnh element at that capital, whoso sympathies might bo hostile to Russia.

Kultia of Civilization KsUtltig Itefoni Calumbua Landed, With the entrance of New Mexico and Oklahoma (Indian Territory being Included In the latter) as State, there will be admitted many copper-colored voters. The Pueblo Indiana of New Mexico and Arizona are full-fledged cUlxj-ns even now, under the terms of the treaty by wldch the country they occupy was acquired from Mexico. In Oklahoma are a number of trlb which, having recently accepted allot ments of land In severalty, are en dowed with the privilege of the fran chtse; and, though the no-called "Ave civilised trllc" of the Indian Terri tory arc as yet a nation w-psrate and TTI'ICAL KW MEXICAN TOW. distinct from our own, they will like wise possess the right of ballot when, in 1000. tho region they inhabit Is opened to settlement Some of these peoples, voters and non-voters, comprised within the area mentioned, are very curious and Inter esting. For Instance, there are the Havasupt, who lire deeper down In tho bowels of the earth than any other known human beings. Their dwelling placo Is Cataract Canyon, an offshoot of Grand Canyon, which la called the Placo of the Ladders, because the town nt the bottom can be reached only by such means, descending the vertical cliffs. These strange folk tan buckskin and make beautiful baskets; and they own wonderful deposits of copper ore and red earth suitable for the manufacture of paints, which are nagerly sought by the Mokl for color ing their weird masks and other para phernalia for ceremonial dances. The Mokl are such marvelous runners that frequently they make a trip on foot to the canyon, a distance of 100 miles. In a single day. Tho Mokl of Arizona and the Zanl of New Mexico are called Pueblo In dians the word "pueblo" meaning a town. They are builders of town of a most peculiar pattern, which are cLut-sr noise ix au.iiua. rotutmcted much afteMhe manner of beehives, an entire city being prac tically under ono roof, with a multi plicity of rooms arranged In suites. Entrance to the apartments Is accom plished by ladders. The) aborigine are suu-worsulpers, and the orb of day Ih their great god. Next In Import ance In their cosmogony Is the nnakc god, who controls the rain supply. In honor of various divinities are held elaborate dances, tho most remarkable of which Is the famous "snake dance," In which some of the participants act unlly carry live llvo rattlesnakes In their mouths. Another odd custom of theirs obliges the young girls to wear their hair done up at tho sides of their heads In such a way ns to Imitate squash flowers, whllo the tresses of the old women are braided to repre sent the withered stalks of the squash vine. From an antiquarian standpoint this southwestern region Is the most won derfully Interesting on the continent. Here where snakes hiss and rattle and the coyote howls was a civilization long before Columbus touchod these shores and relics of It are still blis tered by the sun In their derest lone liness. Hundreds of rulua are to bo found of a race of men who, scien tists UU us, were 7 and 8 feat tail TRAINS MEET, and who Iivd In houses cut la th solid rock. Here the cliff dwellers had their seat of power and here are th links which bind the old Spanish In vaders with the civilization of to-day. As one walks about Santa Fe, or any of the other cities, scenes of th cen turies past greet bis eye. Bants Fe 1 the site of an ancient pueblo, or town, rulna of which are still visible, and which present a singular contrast ts the street cars, electric lights and oth er features of modern dry life to b found In this second oldeat city of th United States. Ono of the interesting spots Is an old bouse of crumbling stone and mortar which Is reputed to be the oldest house In the United States. Not far from Santa Fe aro Tillages which present all the aspects of the aborigines practically as they appeared to Cortes and Coronado. Of the adobe towns, or pnebloa, the most noted in Taos, which Ilea In a beau tiful valley, watered by branched of the Illo Grande. It has two great adobe buildings Ave stories high, sur rounded by prosperous ranches. Tho pueblos of New Mexico ar nineteen In number and are very simi lar la appearance. Each accommo dates from 100 to 300 persona, th pneblo Indians being communistic In their manner of living. The bouse are built one upon another. In a suc cession of terraces, sometimes five In number, the tipper stories being reach ed by means of ladder. The walla are very thick and the Interior is gain ed, Dot through doors, but by entrance ways cut In the roof. The Pueblo In dians have been pronounced by eth nologists to be the oldest race on ths continent COLD CAUSED BY MICROBE. Popular Notion that It la Canaed by Bxpoanre Failure. The common theory that all colda are the result of exposure of some sort U a great mistake. Exposure la not the direct cause of the disease. Scientist say that colda are caused by a bostlla microbe, which gains a foothold when vitality Is lowered by exposure, and that If one la Inured to exposures ha has an effective remedy against the mi crobe of cold as well aa many others. There are many evidence to prove thla theory. There are many places where It Is Impossible to catch cold, becausa there Is no cold to catch. Nansen and his men, during the three year they spent In the arctic region, were Immune from cold, though they were constantly enduring exposure of every kind. They passed day after day In clothes so saturated with per spiration that by day they froze Into a solid mass, so that they cut Into the Dehv And at night In their sleeping bags, the first hour waa spent In thaw ing out. They returned to civilization none the worse In health, but soon contracted severe colds upon reaching there. Then thero Is the remarkable In stance of St Klldn, that lonely, rocky Island which was Malted by I)r John sou when be and Ho.twoll were making their famous tour of the lleitrldos. There are about 100 Inhabitants on the Island. Tho counts are ho precipitous that for eight months of the year It Is practically Inaccessible. Several vessels from the mainland call there during the summer. And. strung to bay, whenever a ship reached the Isl and from tho mainland every Inhabit ant, even to the Infants, Is seized with a colt. This fact has been known for more than 200 years and was of great Interest to Dr. Johnson, who wos skep tical concerning It. Tho question of this St. Kltda cold long puzzled men, who never dreamed that It was an Infectious disease and Utat without the possibility of Infec tion It Is Impossible to catch It, no matter what the exposure may be. That Is to say. It ts due to a micro organism, and without the presence of this micro-organism the disease can not be contracted. What It Hlgutfles.
