No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place’ that which is out of place; to right that which is wrong; but the Path-. ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely -different.

There was ap exchange of artillery fire during the greater part of Nov. 20 It appears that the affalr of Nov. 18 was a reconnoissance in force and that had it been successful it was to be followed by a general attack. The Japanese got within thirty paces of the Russian outer positions before belng driven back. They left-over 100 dead on the field. ATTACK WAS NOT RESUMED. Japs Making No General Assault Upon Port Arthur. Chetoo, .Nov. 22.—A Japanese of- ficial among the latest arrivals from Dalny states positively that the gen- eral attack upon Port Arthur has not been resumed: Rumors to that effect {in Dalny have arisen because fresh troops, including the Seventh divis- fon recently landed, are being sent to the tront. 1t is believed that the explosion which -took place on Nov. 16 occurred in some counter tunnelliag work, The recent explosion, which was beard on Nov. 19, was much heayler and it is reparted upon the best au-| thorities was due to"the’ blowing up ot a Russian magazine: It Is expected that the next attack upon Port Arthur will be a tremen- dous affair. More reinforcements are coming to the -support of General Nogl than those dispatched to Field Murshal Oyama. ‘The Japanese are now construct{ng coast defense forts at Pigeon' bay, which is accepted as an indication that they expect to be defending Port Arthur themselves some day.

ASK MORE POWER FOR COMMISSION WOULD HAVE INTERSTATE' COM- MERCE TRIBUNAL REGULATE FREIGHT RATES, Waeshington, Nov. ' 22 _Interstate transportation matters with 'specific reference to the fixing of 'railroad freight rates, formed the subject of an important conference . at the White ‘House' during the day. By previous| appointment Goyernor Samuel R. Van Sant of Minnescta, Governor Comiing of 16wa, E. P. Bacon and Frank Barry of Milwaukee and R. A. Higble, an of- ficlal of the National Lumber Dealers’ association, called on the president to urge him to use his influence to secure the enactment of a law which would confer upon the interstate commerce commission power fo fix raiflway freight rates in the commerce ‘between states. The conference was® arranged by Chbairman Bacon and by his invi- tation Governors Van Sant and Cum- mins were presen{. Governor " Tafol- lette of Wisconsin was to have heen a member of the delegation; but was un- able to come to Washington, The subject was considered by the president and the delegation at some length, the members of the party pre- senting their views as.individuals and the resolutions-adopted by the inter- state commerce law convention, which was held in St. Louis in October. The convention included - delegates from. more than 300 commercial and bus- iness bodies throughout the country. It was pointed out to the 'president that for ten years prior to 1897 the inter- state-commerce commigsion had exer- cised the power to .adjust railroad freight rates in order to prevent dis- crimination, but that since that time, by reason of a decision of the United States supreme-court, that power had been denied the commission. It was urged by the delegation that a law be enacted by congress conferring upon the commission the authority to ad- Just rates when they were-found to be discriminative in. their operation or in violaton of the interstate commerce act.. 2 The delegation also suggested to the president the desirability, as the members viewed the matter, -of dis: cussing the subject.ii-his fortheoming message to congress.. The president did not_ indicate, however, wat hisf ' personal views were, -contenting him- self with giving a careful hearing to the statements made. RACE WAR IN 10WA.

Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 22.—Race war is regarded as imminent at Fraser, Ia,, where Thomas Albright,” a white miner, was Saturday night shot and mortally wounded by James Price, a negro. -~ The white miners held'a maeo— ing during the afternoon and voted to refuse to ‘work longer with the ne- groes.

Both sides'are heayily armed. “.. A negro, thought to be Price, was seen near Ogden, seven or eight miles from Fraser. He answers the —de- scription of the man wanted and on seeing that he was discovered con- cealed himself in a corn fisld, A posse from Ogden _is searching for him and another body of miners from Ogden is working the river in that di- rection, while still ~another body is L making a thorough search of all the megro huts in Fraser.

PETERSBURG AND DE- MAND REFORMS, 2 AEMARKABLE CONDITION OF_AFFAIRS FORMER EXILES NOW. LEADERG‘ IN MOVE FOR MORE-AIBERAL GOVERNMENT. | Bt. Petersburg, Nov. 22.—The inter- o8t in the meetings of the zemstvos representatives is intense. The war| and all other questions are temporar- {lly forgotten. Nothing else is talked of. Liberals from all parts of the em- pire: “are flocking hither, @ including many from Poland and Finland. The hotel lobbies are crowded, almost re- |- gembling convention time in American oities. The permission granted by. In- terior’ Minister Sviatopolk-Mirsky ywas for an assembly of 300. : The participants’ friends display complete confidence in the protection afforded by the minister and his most | outspoken sentiments. The situation altogether is unparalleled. Nothing approaching such a gathering has ev- er hefore been permitted in Russia. As evidence ‘of the remarkabe state of affeirs, it is sufficient to mention that one of the most prominent speakers Sunday = was M. Pettrunkeivitch of Tver, who spent twenty-four years in exile and who had only been aliowed since -Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky’s ad-| vent to come to the capifal. Nevertheless the most able men in the assembly are counseling modera- tion and doing everything possible. to prevent demonstrations which® might compel interference. One of the stronz- est members of the conference said: Wil Avoid: Demonstrations. “We want to make our position plain to the government, but we desire to avold every appearance of iawlessness. I sincerely hope the mesting will be productive of great good. ' We hope and expect that all provincial and dis- trict zemstvos will follow our lead and demonstrate to the government that the voice of the nation is unani- mous in asking for a direct share in the government by the people.” At the meeting of the delegates ‘Monday Section nine of the memorial, by a vote of 105 to 3, was strength- ened into a practical recommendation for a parliament, the language being changed to a specific declaration in “fayor of an elective body,:not to par- ticipate in legislation; but to make the country’s Jaws. Sympathetic demon strations are reported in various parts of Russia. 4 The zemstvos re'pwesentatlves adopt- ed a declaration in favor of general amnesty for noucical prisoners and exiles.
