SIMILAR TREATIES IN ORDER Asreements Between China and Other Powers to Be Patterned After En, N Ce ercial Treaty. WASHINGTON, July 30.—It is sald here that ‘the commercial treaty between Great Britain and China, approved at a confer- ence at the London Forelgn office yester- day, 18 to serve as a pattern for similar treaties to be negotiated by the other powers with China. By the terms of the Pekin agreement, each of the powers is o have equal trade advantages, and it was recognized at the time of signature that Great Britain, with its large trade Mter- vmua probably be the treaty. It is probable that the United States and the powers signing the Pekin agree- ment will conclude treaties on the. same lines, so that instead of the composite agreement as to trade privileges embodied in the Pekin tfeaty, each of the powers will have Iits own convention with China on the question of comimercial relations. The revision which Great Britain pro- poses to China in the trade treaty, it is extends to nearly every point in which the United States is interested, from the registration and protection of trade marks, the creation of & pational eur- rency, and the extension of the bonded warehouse system, to the reform Shang- bal mixed court and the abolition of all internal taxation, whether native or for- eign, for import or export. If the provisions which will be em- bodied in the British treaty, as it is finally concluded, meet the views and wishes of this government, the United States may sccept it under the “most favored na- tion” clause. But If the results obtained by Great Britain fall short of this gov- ernment’'s expectations, then the United States may push separate negotiations and conclude & treaty of its ewn. FOR- THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL Difference of O Payment of Chinese I May Be tted. WASHINGTON, July 30.—It is within the bonds of probabijity that the lssue which has risen between the powers laterested in China, s te the medium by which the in- demnities are to be settled will be settled by reference to The Hague tribunal It is now announced that uader no eir- cumstances will the United States govern- méent be forced Into the position eccupled by some of the powers whe demand pay- ment from China on the gold basis, and there is evidence of steadfast support for the United States in this coutention from t some of the most powerful governments con- corned_ ih. the Peltin agresment.

Cbina was oné of the original signatories. t6 The Hague convention and fs therefere in a position te demand a reference of this question, apd If the Chinese demand s sup- ported, a willibe by the United States, England and Japan, with perhaps Germany, there la every reason to beleve that there will be aftarded an ‘opportunity to test the utility of The, Hague tribunal on a great issue.

REMARKABLE CASE IN COURT Denver Saloonkeepe: il that Prohibition of Sale of Intoxicants to Women is Unlawful. WASHINGTON, July 30.—A cpse was docketed In the United States supreme court today intemded to test the right of municipal corporations to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquor to females. The case is that of Daniel Cronin against the City of Denver, Colo. Crohin is the owner of a saloon and opened & wine room for women. The record shows that he asked for an Injunction to restrain the ety from enforcing an ordinance prohibit- ing the maintenace of such & place for females, claiining that the law is uncon- stitutional because it discrminates agains women and also because it deprives him of property without due process of law. He contends that he has as much right to sell liquor to women as to and that they bhave as much right to drink as men have. He referred to the oircum- stance that equal suffrage prevalls in Colo- rado and argued that since women had been given the right of suffrage they stand on the same footing in all respects with men, and Bence are entitled “to the pursuit of ppiness and rational enjoyment as their brothers.” The district court upheld this contention, but the finding was overruled by the staté supreme court. NO STATION FOR HAVANA Government Leoses Last Chanee to Secure Naval Depot in Havans Harbor. WASHINGTON, July 30.—Probably the last chance the Navy partment had to secure & coaling or naval station in Havana harbor was lost by the action of the Cuban cabinet yesterday In'authorizing the lease of the arsenal grounds.

An effort ls belng made to got Into communication with the locality. The flood conditions in the Brazos val- ley continue to grow worse. The river is again rising about Waco nd the crest of the flood was only a short distance. below that point this morning. The rains have damaged the cotton crop materially. The present crop promised to be the largest in the history of the te, but bollworms are developing rapidly and farmers are becoming apprehensive. Advices from other parts of the state do not show any improvement in the situation. The long continued rains have softened the rallroad beds in many places where trouble has never before existed. The In- ternatfonal & Great Northern, entering San Antonfo from the west, is almost com- pletely tied up, and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road has abandoned that route for Its fast trains. Lines in north Texas have also had trouble to contend with. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas is washed out between Dalk and Greemville and tralns are being detoured via Farmers- ville.

TO HAVE MARRIAGE ANNULLED inal Nannuetelll May Give Prince Jeseph a Chance, ROME, July 30.—The appointment of Car- dinal Vincent Nannuetelll to be prefect ot the propaganda of the congregation of bish- ops and of regular discipline, it is thought here, will afford Prince Joseph Rospigliosi an opportunity to obtaln a church annul- ment of the former marriage of his wife to Frederick H. Parkhurst of Bangor, Me. In case of such annulment the prince would be aosle to bave a Roman Catholic church rolemnization of his marriage, which until aow bas been impossible because of the non-recognition of Mr. Parkhuret's divorce by the church.

Summer sickn is 99 per cent stomach sickness, due to indi- gestion; 99 of every 100 people who are sick in summer can trace it to indigestion. All stomach and bowel troubles, such as colle, chelers, diarrhoea, dysentery, flux, bilious colic and often fever are tme direct results of indigestion. Summer diet is hard on the stomach and digestive organs. Fermentation result- ing from Indigestion in the cause of all of the above troubles. Kodol is the one great remedy which protects the health and strength of men, women and children during hot weather. It is impossible for the stomach and digestive organs to get out of order or fall to per- form their functions naturally when Kodol is nsed. No summer sickness, no indiges- tion and Do stomach trouble can overtake the man, woman or child who will meet first symptoms by the use of Kodol. Sour stomach, belching of gas, heartburn, pal- pitation of the heart, fullness after eat- ing, loss of appetite, bad breath and coated tongue are some of the symptoms Indicat- ing imperfect digestion, and fermentation as the first stage of stomach disorder. Cathartics paralyze the digestive organs, they straln and break down the glands of the stomach and their effect is to weaken the etrength and vitality of the system generally. Kodol contains the natural ele- inents of digestion, and removes the cause of the trouble by correcting fermentation. Kodol ecorrects fermentation, insures perfect digestion, cleanses, purifies and sweetens the stomach, gives strength, tone nd elasticity to the glands and membrancs lining the stomach.
