CHINESE SITUATION DIPLOMATS OF THE WOULD AKE WAITING FOR THE CLOUDS T TO CLEAR A BIT. UNITED STATES TAKES ACTION Administration’s Answers to the Several Communications of the Powers Are Not Well Regarded By the Latter — Troops Are to Be Withdrawn From Pekin. London, Sept. 25.—A seiNl-official announei'inent has been issued In St. Petersburg that the European cabinets are engaged in au endeavor to induce Germany to abandon her demand for the surrender of the instigators of the anti-foreign outrages as a preliminary to peace negotiations. A V ienna correspondent asserts that the Austrian reply to the German note is very friendly, but that altbougli it appears to consent to Germany's proposal. it practically disapproves by asking whether it would not be best to open pence negotiations first and to make the punishment of the instigators of the outrages the first subject of discussion. According to the Berlin correspondent Germany will make a new proposal, namely, that the great powers form an international court to try the Chinese officials accused of complicity in the outrages. Tlie British and continental press is still diseussiong America’s reply, which is generally regarded as encouraging Li Hung Chang to delay the negotiations. A semi-official communication to the Cologne Gazette disavowing any desire on the part of Germany to execute the instigators of the outrages on the strength of the testimony of the foreign ministers, says: "The international court of justice would decide upon the question of guilt and would pronounce sentence. To look on complacently while a mockery or justice such as the United States demand was being enacted would mean a renewal of the massacres.” GERMANY STICKS TO IT America's Answer Does Not Alter the Kaiser’s Intentions. Berlin, Sept. 25.—The refusal of the United States to accede to Germany’s proposition regarding the Chinese settlement is prominently commented upon by the entire German press. In spite of the previous intimations through Washington’s cablegrams, the refusal has come as a great surprise. A high foreign official referring to the matter, said: "Germany adheres firmly to her proposition. She has no occasion to doubt that favorable answers will come from all the other powers. We have received hints that Rus sia will agree to the German note and the same course is confidently expected of Japan and Great Britain. We hope the answer of the United States is not final, especially in view of the possibility that it was influenced by temporary conditions.” The press comment varies widely, al though generally in a tone of disapproval and regret. The Vossische Zeitung deplores the "evidences of growing discord among the powers,” and predicts a speedy breaking up of concerted action. The Frankfurter Zeitung remarks: “An unpleasant sequence of the American position will probably be the increasing obduracy of the Chinese whose opinion is now strengthened that the energies of the other powers will be intermittent, like those of the United States.” Administration’s Good Reasons. Washington. Sept. 25.—There is a disposition to minimize the differences between the United States and German) on the point of delivery of the Chinese ringleaders before negotiations and it is pointed out that our only reason for differing was a profound conviction that a different effect could be produced upon the Chinese people as a whole only by allowing their government to degrade and punish the guiltv parties. The same punishment, if applied by a foreign power, it is said at the state department, would utterly fall of a reformatory effect as the Chinese people would venerate the memory of the martyrs, while the Chinese government which arrogates to itself the peculiar right to reward and punish nfter death, might elevate the victims of the allies’ acts and thus offer incentive for a repetition of the outrages. What Mr. Rockhill May Advise. Pekin. Sept. 111, via Taku. Sept. 24.— William Woodville Rockhill, special commissioner of the United States, has already conferred with Mr. Conger. the United States minister, but he has not yet met Prince Ching. It is understood that he will advise Washington to withdraw the American troops as speedily as would be safe. Gen. Wilson Takes Pel Tn Cha. Pekin. Sept. 17, via Taku. Sept. 22.--Gen. James 11. Wilson, the American commander, took Pei Ta Chu this morning. No details of tin* affair have been learned, but the British officials have reetdved a dispatch announejng that "The temples were taken according to arrangements." It is said that Gen. Wilson will move on San Kin Tien and destroy the Chinese arsenal at that place. Butchery of Christians. Hong-Kong. Sept. 25. Advice# from Canton say that a boat load of native Christian women at Kum Chuk on West river, was tired upon and that the women were then taken ashore and butchered In cold blood.

Blood Troubles: o ~ As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is important that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease, KuftGUa poisoning isstead of nourishing the laxly, and loss of health is sure to follow. Some poisons enter the lilood from without, through the skin by absorption, or inoculation; others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the <»■•••• ay system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the j circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin, each has some tCSIOCtU a peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Cancer, Rheumatism, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished bv H a certain sore, ulcer, eruption or inflammation appearing on the skin. Everyblood disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where it finds the least resistance. Many mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of salves, liniments and other external applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment. BLOOD TROUBLES REQUIRE BLOOD REMEDIES; the poison must be completely and permanently eradicated —the blood reinforced, purified and cleansed, or the disease goes deeper and saps the very life. Mercury, potash and arsenic, the treatment usually prescribed in this class of diseases, are violent poisons, even when taken in small doses never cure, but do much harm by adding another poison to the already overburdened, diseased blood.
