WASHINGTON , Dec. 21.-Presi
dent Roosevelt transmitted to the
house the third instalment of
' papers relating co the recent revolu
tion on the isthmus of Panama.
The papers comprise the correspond
ence between the state department
and Minister Beaupie at Bogota , re
lative to the May riman treaty , con
sisting o120 letti is and telegrams
sent between March 18 and November
t IS , 1903
In a communication in tbe latter
.part . of April on the subject of ad
verse public opinion to the treaty , M ,
.Beaup e says :
"Ic is utterly impossible to con
vince these people that the Nicaragua
route was ever seriously considered
by tbe United States ; that the ne
gotiations concerning it bad any
othe'r motive than the squeezing of
an advantageous bargain out of Co
lombia ; notthac any other than the
Panama route ever will be selected. "
Tbe public discussion , .he says , was
largely along the line of the loss of
national honor by the surrender of
sovereignty , while private discussion
was to the effect that the price wag
inadequate.
Fear The Worst.
PEKIN , Dec. 21 . The report
cabled om Tien Tsin to London
Saturday to the eff ct that Japan
had sent an ultimatum to Russia is
discredited here , and no information-
of corroborative nature is in the
possession of f.he foreign legations
rt'hile the knowledge of tbe lega
tions on the situation leads to the
belief that the spuding of an ultmn-
tum is improbable , the prospects ofi
war are evidently increasing. The
British legation some days ago received - ,
ceived a tele-uaru indicating that ,
tvar was possible , and the Japanese
legation is officially informed tbat
Russia's recent reply to the Japanese' '
proposals was tinsatisfactoiy. !
While no news has been received
at the Japan- legation that Japan )
has sent an ultimatum to Russia , itj
is recognized at the legation that a ,
? rave crisis is approaching. Major
General Yarnaui , the Japanese mil-1
itary attache- , and the Japanese colc-
eel who has been instructing Gen. ,
.Yuan Shai Kai's troops , have both
started for Japan.

On the same authority the state

AN EVIL IN FOOD THE LAW
SHOULD REACH.
In reference to the use of alum
baking ponders Prof. Schweitzer ,
of the State University of Missouri
says : "The deleterious effects of
alum and the soluble salts of alum
ina upon tbe human system , even
when used iu small quantities , are
too well Known to need relating ;
their use in baking powder is dan
gerous , and should be restricted. "
The effects of the continuous use
of alum baking powders are thus
summed up in a medical publica
tion : "Alum taken intu the
stomach retards the digestion of the
food.
"It is an irritant which inflames
and irritates the stomach and in
testinal canal.
"It is an astringent and tends to
constipate the bowels , which inter
feres with digestion.
"It renders tbe altumen of the
food partially insoluble , and there
fore ttikea away from its nutritive
value.
"It is absorbed into the blood ,
which it tends to thicken and
coagu'ate. The free flow of the blood
through the organs of the heart is
thus retarded.
"Its continued absorption into
the system causes some forms of ner
vous prostrations and many of those
affections ( f the nerves from which
'
both women and men suffer.
"Fourteen grains of alum have
caused the death of a child. Larger
doses have frequently resulted , fa
tally in the case of adults.
"No drug so powerful and deadly ,
no matter in what proportions it may
be employed , can safely be used in
any article of food. "
A club of young lady students in
the Chicago University recently en
gaged in a very interesting debate.
They decided , by a large majority ,
that beauty is better for a womsan

Frederika , Ia. . Dec. 28. Mr. A. S.
Grover is now 74 years of age. For
the last 30 years he has suffered a
great deal of sickness and , although
he is a temperate man and never used
spirits of any kind , his kidneys had
troubled him very much. He said :
"I was told I had Diabetes and my

FOR SETTLED PKOBLEMS
Ambassador oi High Knnk Discufl es
Question , Declaring Europe
Stand by the United
Stutea.
WASHINGTON , 'Dec. 23. "Re-
! usal by the United States to consent
: o a proposition from Colombia for a
eference ol.the Panama question to
The Hague tribunal is expected , and
jvill be fully approved by the Euro
pean powers.r
This statement * as made to a
representative of the Associated press
by a Ei.rouean ambassador of high
; auk and influence. It has already
jeen made ia substance , though in
'ather more diplomatic language to
Sen. Rafael Reyes , the Colombian
xnnister , who is expected in his
forthcoming note to the state depart
ment to suggest the Hague tiibunal
is the proper place for the settlement
) f the isthmian problem. Whether the
knowledge that the refusal of such a
request so far from prejuaicing the
European powers against the Wash
ington government will Cdll forth
heir emphatic endorsemenE , will
: ause General Reyes to modify his
lote is not yet Certain.
The ambassador quoted in explain-
ng the attitude of European puwers
< aid :
"Panama is a closed cnapte1' in the
listory of nations and The Hague
; ourt is not the place for settled
luesrtons , but for pending problems ,
which are referred 10 it with the full
ipproval of Jill the parties interested.
When Russia , Germany and France
recognized the independence of
Panama they set their seal of approv-
il on the prompt action of the Wash
ington government iu pledging itself
to guarantee and maintain the in
dependence of the republic it had
jreviously recognized.
"Nations can hardly be expected to
letttie questions of sovereignty or nat-
onal honor at the Hague. Moreover ,
fl my opinion it would not be within
ihe province of the Washington gov-
: rnment lo grant such a request from
Colombia , it is to Panama , not to
Washington that Colombia should
ake such a proposition.
"There is however , a question
je'tween Colombia and Panama which
? ith all propriety might be referred
ID The Hague and to which refer-
: nce the United States will scarcely
iffer objection.
It is the question of the assumption
if Panama of a paitof the Colombian
lebt. If General Reyes should ask
ihe United States to use its good
ittices to have this matter brought
lefore the Hague , Panama might
afely acquiesce in such a proposition.
Che difficulty in making this request
? uuld be that Colombia thereby e
iruuld recognize the independence
if the new republic but this must
: ome sooner or later. "
General Cowin Explains.
OMAHA , Neb. , Dec. 23. Gen.
ohn C. Cowin , counsel for Senator
Metrich , believes the senator's
( leading before tbe federal court to
ndictments recently returned against
iim , ' is misunderstood , and makes
he following explanation.
"The report ; that Senator Dieurich
las declined to plead to tbeiudict ,
jent charging him with receiving
aouey to secuie the appointment of
acob Fisher as postmaster at Hast-
ogs , is misleading. This is the
ndictment to which Senator Diet-
ich pleaded not guilty , and tbe in-
iclmentthatheiusisted upon being
ried for. The senator declined to
lead to tbe conspiracy indictment ,
Dr , the reason that Fisher inter-
osfS a demurrer ; that the indict-
leat charges no offense. The entire
ransaction can be brought out in
be trial of the indictment charging
) ietrich with receiving money for
ostotlice appointments , and that is
rhat we want. "
Gen. L. W. Colby , indicted for the
lleged embezzlement of government
unds , and Daniel. W. Gaines , indict-
d fur charges of perjury in swearing

Reply Is 5atibiac'tor.y.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 23. In re-
jrpnce to the alleged interview attri-
uted to Major General II. C. Mer-
iarn , to the effect that the proposed C
rurnotion of Ueueral Wood , would be r
arm ful to the army , Secretary Root n
as received a telegram from Gen- k
ral Merriauj dated Denver , in whicb li
e declares that he has non author- 'c
id any publications on any subject.
It is understood that the general's

JAPAN DRAWS THE LINE
JAPAN HAS REACHED THE LIMIT
OF CONCESSIONS-
PEKING , Dec. 24. The opti
mistic feeling in some quarters
concerning war between Japan ' ; md
Russia is not shared by the other
diplomats at Peking , whose know
ledge of ihe present situation , of
affairs er titles their opinion to the'
highest consideration. It is. posi
tively known tbat the Japanese gov
ernment has drawn tbe line for set
tlement , beyond which it will not
make any material concessions , and
that she is determined to tigbt before
yielding whatsbe considers to be her
vital interests. It is believed that
unless Russia concedes important
points another exchange of notes will
precipitate matters.
It is alsu believed that Japan will
refuse any arrangement holding in
ibeyance the question of the evacua
tion of Manchuria , which was one of
the terms of the proposed arrange
ment recently announced from St.
Petersburg and which it is now sup-
p sed was intended by tbe Russian
government as a feeler. " This
would be a virlation of expressed
pledges given to Japan and Cbina.
Minister Uchida is reported to have
said ne would be obliged to resigu his
post in the event of such in agree
ment.
TOKIO , Japan , Dec. 23. It is
asserted in official circles here that
the Japauese reply to Russia rejects
the fundamental points at issue ,
which are understood to include mu
tual guarantees for the preservation
Df Chinese and Korean sovereignty ,
while securing their individual inter
ests. The situation is graver than
since the commencement of .tne nego
tiations , but is still susceptible to a
pacific solution if Russia will quickly
reconsider her reply.

was now hign time to let the peopla
know the actual position occupied b )
the government. He also declared
that not only a feeling of chivraly ,

a matter of course here. Russia has
