London, Dec. 24. A dispatch to The
Dally Chronicle from Rome gays It is
rumored thr-re that, owing to her obli
gation! to Germany, Italy has declined
England's proposal for common action
In the far east, Including a Joint 00
'cupatlon of Cliusan.
According to the same dispatch It la
aeserted that Hngland has proposed to
Russia a conference on the Chinese
question, with a view of avoiding dan
gerous rivalries.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Dally Mall says: The Chinese govern
ment Is helpless. It Is mobilizing a few
troops under the leaBt Incapable gen
erals who conducted the campaign
against Japan. The British fleet Is at
present at sea.
The. Dally Chronicle this morning
says It has good reason to believe that
the Government has decided upon a
watching policy and will refrain from
ecc'llpylng any Chinese territory for the'
present, but it will give Its moral sup
port to Japan and distinct warnings
to China concerning England's action
In certain contingencies. It Is under
stood, says The Dally Chronicle, that
Japan Will protest In the strongest
manner against Germany's action, and
diplomatic circles ridicule the Idea of
a Itusso-German entente concerning
China.
The German press is evidently deeply
Interested as to the attitude Great Brit
ain and the United States are likely to
adopt In the Chinese affair. Every at
tempt is being made to create 111 feel
ing against England, and to represent
her as isolated.
The official newspapers pretend that
Japan has acquiesced In the German
and Russian moves, and will take no
aggressive action. Everything indi
cates the anxiety that hinges upon the
ultimate grouping of the powers.
Japan's action In withdrawing her pro
test with reference to the course of
the United States at Hawaii Is In
terpreted as showing a desire to be
unencumbered abroad and to have her
hands free to deal with the Chinese
question.
The Berliner Tageblatt ridicules the
Idea of an Anglo-Japanese-American
alliance, yet seems to fear It. The
Kolnlsche Zeltung thinks America will
side with Russia, leaving England In
splendid Isolation.
The Berlin National Zeltung says: "It
Is easy to believe that England would
welcome active steps on the part of
the United State's, but hard to believe
that the United States would adopt a
policy of friendship toward England
and of hostility toward Russia, con
trary to all its traditions, for the sake
either of England or China."

Washington, Dec. 24. It Is believed
that the president has decided to ap
point Judge Paxson, of Pennsylvania,
as a member of the Interstate com
merce commission to succeed Colonel
William R. Morrison, whose term will
expire In expire in January. The pres
ident yesterday informed Senator De
boe, of Kentucky, who called upon him
In the Interest of Mayor Todd of Louis
ville, that the place was promised, and
It Is thought that Judge Paxson Is the
man slated for the place.
The Discovery of the Day.
Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Jshreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's New
Discovery is the only thing that cures my
cough, and it is the best seller I have." J. F.
Campbell, merchant of SaQbrd, Ariz., writes :
"Dr. King's New Discovery is all that -is
claimed forit ; it never fails, and is a sure
cure for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I
cannot say enough for its merits.' ' Dr. King's
New Discovery for'ConsumpUon, Coughs and
Colds is not an experiment. It has been tried
for a quarter of a century, and to-day stands
at the head. It never disappoints, tree trial

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD
A fact often overlooked, or not always under
stood, it that women suffer as much from dis
tresiing kidney and bladder troubles as the
men. The womb is situated back of and
very close to the bladder, and for that reason
any distress, disease or inconvenience mam
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe
male weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
'Die error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside fortwenty
four hours ; a sediment or settling is evidence
tbat your kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in the back'
pots water too frequently, or scanty supply,
with smarting or burning, these are also con
vincing proofs of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kjdney remedy. The
mll and the extraordinary effect will surprise
you: -It stand tlie 'ugliest lor its wonaeriui
cures. If you take a medidue you should take
the best. At druggists fifty cents and one dol

DON'T NEGLECT
A COMMON CASE OP PILES.
It May Lead to Berious Results.
When people generally understand that all
such fatal diseases as fistula, ulcer of the
rectum, fissure, etc., almost invariably begin
in a simple case of Plle3, they will learn the
wisdom of taking prompt treatment for the
first appearance of troubles in this quarter.
The Pyramid Pile Cure will certainly cure
every form of piles, itching, bleeding, pro
truding or blind pilos, and hundreds of lives
have been savetl by using this cheap but ef
fective remedy right at the start, because at
rich a time a single package will effect a
cure, while in the old chronic, deep sealed
cases, several packages are sometimes nec
essary before a lasting cure is affected.
Iliysfcians are using the Pyramid Pile Cure
in preferetire to surgical operations and with
uniform success. For sale by druggists every
where at 50 cents and f 1 per package.

Springfield, Dec. 24. Amid Bcenes of
riotous disorder and Intense excitement
the house yesterday passed the Repub
lican senatorial apportionment bill by
a Vote of 79 yeas to 64 nays. There
were but two votes to spare. It was
a hairbreadth escape from defeat for
tho Republican managers. Representa
tive Patrick Meany. of Chicago, saved
the bill for the Republican organiza
tion. He furnished tho 77th vote neces
sary to pass the measure, and when he
ended a speech with the words, "I vote
yea," State Treasurer Henry Hertz, a
Republican leader, who stood by his
side, trembling with anxiety and ex
citement, flung his arms about Meany's
neck and hugged him as though he
were a long lost son returning from the
Klondike. Representatives Funk and
Scorgin, the McLean county kickers,
then voted for the bill, making 79 In
all.
The Democrats shouted and Jeered,
and did their best to make so much
noise that business could not be trans
acted. A score of their loudest tongued
men mounted their desks and started a
hullabaloo that was maintained until
two calls of the roll were finished. So
great was the tumult that everybody
In the state house was drawn to the
scene and the floor of Representatives'
Hall was crowded with excited men,
whom neither the speaker's gavel nor
the sergeants-at-arms could control.
The senate Is certain to pass the bill
In January.
