Aside from the complications mentioned
In The Bee yesterday . regarding the ap
pointment of a Library board the discovery
waa made yesterday that there Is some
question of the validity of ordinance No.
1063, which waa passed by the council
on January T of the present year. This or
dinance created" a Library board and de.
fined to soma extent the ' dutlea of the
members. Mayor Kelly, when It came his
turn handed In a veto which waa promptly
turned down by the council and the or
dinance Is auppoaed to be a law.
Attorneys now say there Is a flaw which
may. invalidate the entire proceedings and
make It necessary to pass another ordi
nance creating a Library board. This Is
because the ordinance aays tbst appoint
ments must be made "at the next regular
meeting of the council." Such action was
sot takes, although the, mayor waa will
ing. The rscoros show that the appoint
ments wera made and confirmed, it was
at sn adjourned meeting and not t a
regular meeting. Judging from remarks
dropped by City Attorney Lambert It may
be possible that the ordinance will bava
to be Introduced again, passed, rt;nei! ami
published and the appointments made aft
erward. Bo tar no attempt has been made
to organise the Library board appointed
by the mayor.
Association Seeks Improvements.
Secretary Manh of the local Young Men'a
Christian asaoctatlon said yesterday that
he had been looking for larger quarters for
the association for some time and that of
fers had been made to owners of buildings
In the heart of the city. At present the
association has 366 members and the quar
ters on N street are entirely too small.
Negotiations have been pending for some
time for the erection of a building for the
gsootatloo, but these have fallen through
on account of the expense. Last year the
association here managed to get along on
about $3,900, but this year on account of
the Increase in membership it will be
necessary to raise $4,600 providing the Ini
proverueots contemplated are made.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Ths Tribune todsy
nrlnts the following special cablegram from
Pekla, China, under date of February 19:
A seneatlon was caused In diplomatic
clrclea here today when It became known
that the United States, through Secretary
of State John Hay, bad sent a note to the
Russian and Chinese governments cloaely
along the lines of the Anglo-Japaneso
treaty of January JO. The note Is a dis
tinct warning to both China and Russia
that the United States will not permit the
Integrity of the empire to be molested In
favor of one nation to the detriment of
another.
The note, which practically endorses ths
English treaty with Japan, says:
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. An agreement
whereby China gives any corporation or
company the exclue've right or privilege
of opening mines, establishing railroads or
In any other way Industrially developing
Manchuria ran be but viewed with the
gravest concern by the government of the
United States.
It constitutes a monoDolv which Is a
distinct breach of the stipulations of the
treaties concluded between China and
foreign powers and thereby seriously
affects the riahts of American cltlsens.
It restricts their rightful trade, exposing
It to being desrrlminated against. Inter
fered with or otherwise Jeopardised, and
strongly tends to permanently Impairing
China s sovereign rights in this part of the
empire, while It seriously interferes with
us aDiiuy to meet us international ODiiga
Hons.
Furthermore, such a concession on
China's part would undoubtedly be fol
lowed by demands from other powers for
similar equal extensive advantages else
where In the Chinese empire, and the In
evitable result must be the comulete wreck
of the policy of absolute equality of treat
ment to an nations respecting traae, navi
gatlon and commerce within the emplre'i
tontine.
On the other hand, the attainment by one
power of such exclusive powers for the
commercial organisations of Its nationality
conflicts with the assurances repeatedly
given to this government of the Imperial
Russian ministry of foreign affairs of the
imperial government's Intention to follow
the policy of the open door, as advocated
by the government of the United States
ana accepted oy an tne treaty powers nav
In commercial Interests in the empire.
It is for these reasons that the govern
ment of the United States, now as for
merly, animated by the slncerest desire
of Insuring to the whole world the benefits
of full and fair intercourse between China
and the nations on a footing or equal
rights and advantages to all, submits the
above to the earnest consideration of the
Imperial governments of China and Russia,
confident that they will give due weight to
Its Importance and that they will adopt
such measures as will relieve the Just and
natural, anxiety ot the united mates.
Holds to Traditional Poller.
The Tribune prints the following special
from Washington:
It haa been understood here from the
outset that the terms of the British
Japanese agreement to preserve the Integ
rity of Japan were submitted In advance to
President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay and
approved by them. Following out the tra
ditional policy, however, of avoiding en
tangling pittances the United States post
ttvely declined to become a party to any
actual agreement concerning China.
When Lord Cranborne, In the British
Parliament laat week, declared that there
waa no doubt the British-Japanese agree
ment would command the full approval of
the United Statea, he spoke by authority.
The agreement between Great Britain
and Japan was dated January 30.'" There
la, therefore, deep significance that on Feb
ruary 1, two days sfter the treaty waa
signed, this country sent to Russia a note
practically adopting the principle of the
treaty as the policy of the United States.
The agreement between Great Britain and
Japan ia largely a military one, and pro
vide for a "Joint use of forces In case ot
hostilities.
Secretary Hay's letter, of course, could
not go to that extent, but the aubstance
of It, as telegraphed, leavea no doubt that
Russia haa been notified ot the fact in
strong diplomat io language that the moral
support of the United Statea Is with Great
Britain and Japan, and that tbla country
will resent any failure on the part of Rus
sta to redeem any pledge It made to Presl
dent McKlnley that the open door policy
should be applied to Manchuria.
Apparently Secretary Hay waited until
after the Brltiah-Japaneae treaty was made
public that the note might have all the
weight of an Indorsement of that treaty.
It is believed here also that Germany
wrote a similar note to Russia, and that.
while the emperor was unwilling to par
ticipate in an alliance with England and
Japan, he waa not averse to letting the
cxar know that Germany's commercial In
terests In the Orient would be Jealously
guarded. It la expected. In fact, that Ger
many and the United States will bs found
to be occupying almost the same position
and thus the result will be thst Russia and
Francs will be arrayed on one side and
Great Britain, Germany, Japan and the
United Btateu on the other.

AUDITORIUM WORK DELAYED
itrnrtnre Will Probnbly Sot Be
Ready for Christian Chareh
Convention.
At the meetinc of the Auditorium com
pany yesterday afternoon the reoort of tha
building and grounds committee rejecting
an proposals for the construction of the
Auditorium was sustained.
It was stated that t-n this account, and
oa account of the difficulty In securing the
structural Iron, It would probably be Im
possible to have the building rea.ly for the
Christian chu-ch convention In October. The
action on the report of the bulldlna- snd
grounds committee was taken in executive
session, and the result slone snnounced.
On motion of Hsrry Weller Is waa nnanl
mously decided that no consideration wnnM
be given proposala for the purchase of the
proposes site oi tne building, as the mem
bers of ths directory believed that no
grouna equally satisfactory could be ae
cured. . -
Subscriptions to the amount of $1,105 were
reported from the different commit teea and
it was announced that the matter of sub
scriptions from the railroads would be
taaen up Inls week.
The promotion committee ststed that Mr
Ncttleton of Kansas City would arrive net
week to take up the work of that commit
tee for raising funds and that the details
of that work would then be announced.
The contract with the Royal Italian band
tor a aeriea or concerta next fall was re
turned signed by the manaear.
"The failure of the auditorium committee
to carry out ita agreement will have no ef
fect on the plana for the Christian conven
tion," aald Chairman Payne of the local
convention committee. "Of course, we are
disappointed, aa we had calculated much
on noiding tne convention In the new build
ing. We will use the temporary building
which will be erected for the musical fnti.
val In September and will take care of our
people in good shape.
"Our committee Is working as hard aa
ever and with" the best prospects for suc
cess.

"Aa described In Living Anlmala of tha
World."
"The hill-tigers of India ars. or were.
much more given to hunting by day than
the Jungle-tigers. In tha Nllglrl hllla of
southern India the late General Douglaa
Hamilton aald that before night the tigers
were already about hunting, and that la
the abade of evening It waa dangerous to
ride oa a pony not because the tigers
wished to kill the rider, but becauss they
might mistake the pony and Ita rider for
aambar deer. He waa atalked like this
more than once. Often, when stalking
ssmbar deer and ibex by day, be aaw the
tigers doing the same, or after other prey.
'My brother Richard,' he writes, wss out
after a tiger which th, hlllmen reported
had killed a buffalo about an hour before.
He aaw the tiger on flrat getting to the
ground, and the tiger had aeen him. It
was lying out In the open watching the
buffalo, and shuffled Into the wood, and
would not come out again. . Next morning,
when we got to the ground, the tiger waa
moving from rock to rock, and bad dragged
ths body Into a nullah. We were
upon the point of starting home when we
observed a number of vultures eomlng
down to the carcass. The vultures began
to collect In large numbera on the opposite
hill. I soon counted fifty, but they would
not i near the buffalo. Then some crows,
boluer tnan the rest, flew down and made
a treat row over their meal. All of a
audden they all flew up and I made cer
tain It waa the tiger. Then my brother
fired, and there he was, shot right through
the brain, lying Just above the 'buffalo.
He had been brought down by the noise the
crows were making. Upon driving the
sholss (small woods on these hllla), tigers
were often put out. Sometimes they availed
themselves of the drive to secure food
for themselves. A wood waa being driven,
when a tremendoua grunting waa heard,
and out rushed aa old boar, bristling and
ssvsge. B waa about to raise hla rifle,
when a growl like thunder stopped him,
and a great tiger with one apring cleared
the nullah and alighted on- the back of the
old boar. Such a battle then took place
that, what with the growla of the tiger
and the squeals of the boar, one might
believe oneself In another world. I thought
of nothing but of bow to kill one or the
other, or both; ao, as tbey were rolling
down over and over, about fifty yarda from
me, on the open hillside, I let fly both
barrels. For a aecond or so the noise went
on; then the tiger Jumped off, and the
boar atruggled Into the nullah close by.
The tiger pulled up and coolly stared at
us without moving, but bis courage aeemed
te fall him, and be sprang Into the nullah
and disappeared."

Prof. Mstwell Sommervllle of Ihe Uni

abridged edition ot hia work, "Engraved
Gems. Their Placs In the History ot Art."
which Is published under the title ot "En

largely Illustrated and too cumbersome for
convenience, hence the abridgement. The
present volume, which contains seme 130
pages only, IS beautifully llluatrated with
a largs number of very fine platea showing
the gems from the different nations ot an

Is well written and will be found very
entertaining by all who are at all Interested

Idea of the character of the volume may bs
gained from the following headings of chap
ters: Engraved Gems, Egypt, Persia snd

markable Gems, Religion on Stones, His
toric Cameos, Animals and Birds, Antiqus
Paetes, Chinese, Burmese and Siamese,
Altec or Mexican. It will be seen from this
that the author has covered the whole sub
ject. The book Is printed lrf Urge, clear
type on fine paper, making It a most at
tractive volume In appearance. It may be
added that Prof. Sommervllle has a very
fine glyptic collection In the Free Museum
of Science and Art of the University of

work of forty centuries, so carefully ar

Owing to tha continued large demand for

who haa spent many years in sn exhaus

Judge Walte'a book ia devoted to an ex

PAIWE'S CELERY COMPOUND
Makes Nerve Fibre and Nerve Force, Cleanses
th Blood and Strengthens and Gives Tone to
Every Function ot the Body.
"As a medicine for doing Immediate and
effective work in alcknesa, resulting from
Impaired nerves and Impurs blood ray fam
ily conalders your Pslne's Celery Compounl
without a peer." "It strengthens and glvea
tone to the aystem." "It baa ssved many
a doctor's bill."
So writes J. I. Donahue, Chief of Tollce
of Omaha, to the proprietor of thla never
falling remedy. Palne'a Celery Compound
makes nerve fibre and nerve force, and Im
parts true health to body and brain. It Is
the only known positive cure for nervous
prostration, resulting from business re
sponsibilities, Irregular habits snd over
work. Pslne's Celery Compound Is ths one great
remedy for dyspepsia and weak nerves.
Dyspepsia Is csused by acute Inflammation
of the nerves centered about Ihe stomscb.
Palpitation of the heart, dtxslnras, rsrdtalgta
and distention of ths stomach are common
In dyspepsia. Languor and Irresistible
drowsiness are certain symptoms.
Palnea Celery Compcund keepa the mus
cular walls of the stomach In vlgoroua ac
tion until the process of digestion Is made
complete. It restores energy, gives re
newed vigor to all affected parts, rhecks
dizziness and allays heartburn. It Is a ssfe
and reliable cure for nervous dyspepsia.
Palne's Celery Compound will build up
weakened and Inflamed nervea, keep the
stomach, liver and kidneys In healthy ac
tion, and make mind and body healthy. It
Is the greatest reconstructaat of the nerv
ous aystem known to medlcsl science. It
permanently curea nervous exhaustion. It
Is particularly efficacious in all cases where
the afflicted are "worn out" and "run
down."
If you have the flrat symptom of falling
health, if yon are conscious that something
Is wrong, that you lack strength, If the
buoyant feeling of perfect health doea not
return after each night's sleep, It Is time
to give the nerves and blood tha food that
Nature requlrea. Palne'a Celery Compound
Is f'iNly called Nature's medicine. Medi
