Whether the te mentions the time, making the locument an ultimatum, or whether time is intimated otherwise, is un- own. The Government, however, is rmined to obtain an early response nd close the discussion, if it should prove to be fruitless.

Prince Ching Makes This Announce- ment to Japanese Minister. PEKING, Jan. 9.—The .Japanese Minister to China, M. Uchida, and Prince Ching, the Grand Secretary, had a long interview here yésterday and discussed the prospects of war between Russia and Japan. Ching announced that China had de- cided to maintain neutrality and ex- pressed great interest in the nature of the Russian reply recently trans- mitted to Japan. M. Uchida was non- committal on this subject. It is reported here that Japan is chartering many more commercial ships for use as naval colliers and sup- ply ships. CHINA ——eie WEEK OF SUSPENSE ENDS.

R RANUM MAY BE USED AS MEDICINE SAYS New York Physician Believes Sub- stance Possesses Properties Which May Be Used Against Discase. NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—In the forth- coming edition of the New York Med- ical Journal Dr. S. B. Tracy discusses the therapeutical possibilities of ra- dium, advancing the belief that it may | be ultimately used internally as a med- icine. He says: » “The property possessed by radium of imparting its activity to various fluids, as shown in experiments, seems to offer reasonable ground for hope that, in this way, it may be therapeut- ically administered internally and the fight against bacterial disease be waged directly in the tissues affected, through | the agency of the blood and lymph cir- culations and the various internal se- cretions. It i§ true that such retention of properties in the radium fluids 1s only temporary, but the process of manufacture is so simpie that when adium is available ,in greater quan- ities than at present there will be no difficulty iif any suitable case in keep- {ing up the supply of freshly prepared and active solution.” ————— BURT WILL GO TO CHICAGO TO LIVE Former President of the Union Pacific | Has Sold Hi& Property in Omahba.
