' . 7. L . (- - .- hi- 3 ! ' 1 i Positive woman. A woman has a right to be positive on matters which are matters of personal knowledge and experience. Every wom an who has used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for diseases of the womanly organs is positive as to its wonderful curative value, and confidently recom jnends it to similar sufferers. Women who suffer from inflammation, ulceration, female weakness, or nervous diseases cauied by disease of the wom anly organs will find a complete cure isy the use of "Favorite Prescription." "Several years ago 1 suffered severely from female weakness, prolapsus, and monorrhagia, and used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription with splendid effect," writes Fannie Shclton, of Washington, Iowa. "Glad I have not needed it for a few years past, but if I should have any return of the old trouble would surely try ' Fa vorite Prescription.' I have recommended it to a number of my lady friends. I always tell them to try a bottle," and if they are not bene fited by it I will pay for the medicine. In every case theyave spoken in praise of it." MAKES WEAK WOMEN STBONG - AMD SICK WOMEN WELL.

Truly, love is a beautiful thing. i But ever 'tis coupled with grief's cruel sting. , Love is sorrow's own handmaid ; a baptism of tears . Follows soon in the heart in which love once appears. Is it power? Tis not; power is cruel as death ; It is fleeting, uncertain ; 'tis gone like a breath. Does the man who has power forget self for a day To give aid to the thousands who fail by the way? Nor is it contentment, as once has been said ; Oantent we may be, though the con science be dad; ' If content were the height of the goal to be won, The beggar might claim the philoso-' pher's stone.

The Position of the United States Government With Regard to t'ussia REPRESENTATIONS TO CHINA. United States Coold Not Approve sny Secret" Negotiations Looking to Con cession of Territory Rassis's Purpose as to Manchuria. By Teiegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, March 9. The official correspondence between the State De partment and the several Powers in terested in the Chinese question dis closes the fact that Russia, suspected as she is by England and perhaps by some o'ther Powers, of planning to seize and hold Manchuria as her own, has upon every occasion when oppor tunity served to draw forth a statement of her motives, declared emphatically that she had no such purpose. On the 16th ultimo -the United States addressed strong representations to China through Mr. Conger and Prince Ching and Lit Hung Ubang. China was told that the United States could not approve any secret negotia tions between China and' any individ ual power looking to the concession of territory to such power. And it was further insisted that to be valid, any such concession of territory should be given only with the assent of all the other Powers. To . still further em phasize the warning apainst the begin ning of a division of China, it was sig nificantly stated that the United States did not regard the present as an opportune time for making any con cessions of territory or even for con ducting negotiations for such conces sions. The United 8tates government has not entered into any secret or open agreement with Great Britain or with any other individual Power, however strongly it may sympathize with the British desire to insure Mancauna against seizure. On the contrary, our government has from the beginning discouraged such special alliances as to China and has adopted the practice of informing every one of the Powers of the contents of any statement it has addressed to any one of them. It is felt here that the greatest strength of our position has lain in this frank and open method of negotiation and there is no disposition to abandon it now. ' Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa dor, called at the State Department to-day and was closeted with Secretary Hay half an hour. Although no state ment can be extracted as to the nature of the interchange, it is believed that the ambassador took occasion to again assert the sincerity and propriety of Russia's purpose relative to Man churia. China's Future. St. Petersburg. March 9. Prince Hespere Oukhtomsky, who recently returned from China, whither he was sent as special envoy by the govern ment. has resumed the publication of the Viedomosti, and will issue a book on Monday in which he pessimistically considers ChiuaV future. Price Oukhtomsay say's he does not expect", the Chinese court to return to Pekin for many years, and that none of tht Powers will attain substantial advtn- tagfs. Russia, he says, will not benefit froQi Mur.churia. He thinks that Germany is purposely accumulating a oui against China, so that territorial payment will be necessary. Germany. according to the Prince, desires the. provinces of Pe Chi Li and Shan Tung. The Rosso-Chinese Agreement. BERLIN. March 9.

Reply of the British Government Has fo Ioteotloo of Modifying or Abrogating the CIsyton-Bolwer Treaty. By Catole to tne Morning star. London, March 9. The reply of the British government to the note conveying the amendments nf the Uoited States to the Hay Paunc fole treaty should be formally delivered, by the British ambassador at Wash inglon to Secretary Hay within a few dajs. The Foreign Office here did t,o' originally contemplate delaving the BriiiBh reply until now. The plasi appears to have been to transmit the answer previous to the date on which the treat v lapsed, which, according to the British view of the ease, woald have put the onus of its lapsing on the Senate. As previously set forth in these dispatches, the main object of the British government throughout has been to make an entirely new ar rangement At no stage of the pro ceedings has there been an inclination to accept the Senate's amendments. It is understood here that the nature of the British government's reply has already been informally communi cated to Secretary Hay. Great Britain has no intention of modifying or abrogating the Clayton Bulwer treaty without a satisfactory quid pro quo. That treaty, according to the Foreign Office view of the case, remains as much in force now as the day it was signed. The speeches made in the Senate do not disturb Downing street. They are dismissed with the remark that "treaties cannot be abrogated without the consent of both the con tracting parties." There is, however, an apparently genuine belief here that a satisfactory arrangement will eventually- be arrived at, though it is scarcely thought it could be got into the requisite Bbape in time for discus sion at the extra session of the Senate. Moreover, there is a freely expressed disinclination on the part of the British officials to commit themselves to any further treaties until they are thor oughly assured of the views the Senate holds on the matter in question. SENATE'S EXTRA SESSION Adjourned Sine Die Was Called by the President to Confirm Appointments Made by the Administration. Bv Telearapb to tne Morning Star. , Washington, March 9. After pro ceedings lasting only six days, the ex traordinary session of the Senate was declared adjourned sine die at 1:55 P. M. to-day. During the session practi cally no business except that of an ex ecutive character was transacted. The session was called by the President in order that the Senate might have op portunity to confirm appointments made at the beginning of the new ad ministration. That business accom plished there was nothing further for the Senate to do. At the opening-of to day's session the President pro tern.. Senator Frye, of Maine, was inducted into office, the oath being administered by Vice Pres ident Roosevelt Hon. John II Mitchell, the recently elected Senator from Oregon, was presented by his colleague, Senator Simon, and took the oath of office. He was given a cor dial reception by his colleagues on the floor, many of whom have served in the Senate wtth him and by his friends in the galleries who greeted his appear ance with hearty applause. Through a committee of the Senate consisting of Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts and Mr. Cockrell, of Missouri, the Prtsi dt-ht informed the Senate that he had no further communications to make. He conveyed to Senators his cordial wishes for their welfare and his hopes that they might have a happy return to their homes. Without ceremony, the session was then declared at an end. For a considerable time after final ad -journment many Senators remained on the floor of the chamber, exchang ing cordial farewells, some of them making engagements for outings dur ing the long recess. It was an in teresting scene that was eagerly watched by the hundreds of persons who haU-pojjred into the galleries at the conclusion of the executive ses sion. I The Senate in executive session to day confirmed all the nominations to office that have been made during the special session. The second agreement extending the time for the ratification of the French treaty was received and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Among to day's nominations and confirmations were those of many army officers under the new army law, and a number of naval and marine officers advanced for bravery in China und the Philippines. PENNSYLVANIA COAL MINES. The Present Wage Scale to Continues Year A Aew Move on the Part of the Operators. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Sce anton, Pa., March 9. Many of the big coal concerns posted notices to-day saying the present wage scale would be continued for a year. All this is taken as an indication that the big coal producing companies will not be represented at the Hazel ton conference next week and that they are a unit in favor of letting the pres ent conditions remain, thus averting the possibility of a clash , with the miners over the wage question. Indianapolis, March 6. President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, when shown the above dispatch by a representative of the Associated Press, said: "That is a new move of the opera tors The Lehigh Company is one of the largest in this district, and the action means that all the opeiators will post like notices. "It means, too, that they do not intend to meet the United Mine Workers in conference next Tuesday." "Would a continuation of the ten per cent, advance by all the operators be satisfactory to the miners!" "It would not " President Mitchell will leave for the anthracite field to-night. On Tuesday he will establish headquarters at'Hazel ton. - BELATED STEAMSHIPS Dae to Arrive Yesterday at New York from European Ports. By Telegraph to tne Morning star. New York, March 9. At 1.15 P. M. the marine observer at Sandy Hook reported that the wind was blowing from the south southwest, with a light breeze and that it was raining and a dense foe had closed down off shore. This condition would no doubt delay as well as prevent the sighting of the arrival of the belated White Star liner Germanie " from Liverpool and the Gunarder Umbria from Liverpool, the American liner St Louis from ftnuthimntan and Cherbourg, the Hamburg American liner Graf Wal- v dersee from Hamburg, ana tne rsea Star liner Westernland irom Ant werp, also due to day. CYCLONE SWEPT A TEXAS .TOWN; Four People Were Killed Out right and About Twenty Others Injured. MANY HOUSES DEMOLISHED. Heavy Rainfall at Terrell -A Clond burst The Country Flooded Five Persons Seriously Injured at New Boston. By Teiegrapb to tne Morning Star. Willis Point, Texas, March 9. At 11 o'clock" this morning 1 a terrible cyclone passed through: the west side of the town, demolishing every thing in its track. Four people are dead and about twenty injured. Four teen dwelling houses are entirely ruined and a number of others are wrecked. The public school building is a total loss. The cotton oil mill is damaged, and the largest gin plant is in splinters. Wires were blown off the poles and fences levelled, and a freight car is off the track. The dead are: Maggie Clouse, infant of Rev. J. F. Clouse; Leon, 8-year old son of J. H. Williams; a child of John White; Charles Powers, painter, drowned. Injured Mrs. J. N Polk and three children; Rev. J. H. Ciouse, wife and child ; Mrs. G. W. Williams and one child; Ben Walters and wife; J. E. Bass and wife; Mrs. E. B Gra bam, child and brother; one child of E. S. Gray; J. Human and D. M. George. Several are expected to die. The property loss is placed at $50,000. which is considered a conservative estimate. Black clouds had been hanging in the southwest all the morning, the at mosphere was heavy and at intervals there had been blustering showers of ram. it was just at noon wnen mere was a long roar of rumbling thunder, a puff of wind, and then the air wbs thick with trying timbers. The cyclone came from the southwest and held to a straight northeast course. Its path was about three hundred yards wide, it struck the northwest quarter of the town, in the residence section. No house is left which is not irreparably wrecked. Most of them are demolished mere heaps of debris that offer oppor tunity for the juns man. Household furniture and utensils are strewn far ther than the eye can reach. Houston. Texas. March 9. Re ports from New Boston, Texas, indicate that no lives were lost in the storm there this afternoon, but five persons were badly injured, whose names can not yet be obtained. During the storm at Texarkana the residence of Mrs, Poole, -t College Hill suburb, was blown down and Mrs. Poole was seri ously injured. Dallas, Texas, March 9. Dis patches from Terrell, Texas, say the heaviest rain ever known in that vicinity fell this afternoon. Between Terrell and Elmo it became a veritable cloud burst. . Two meu ere drowned.

JM' Manila, March 9 Captain Qulick of the Forty-seventh United States volunteer infantry, has received - the surrender of forty insurgent officers and two hundred men. The gunboat Albany, acting in co-op eration with Lieutenant YanVoorhies of the Twentieth infantry, surprised an insurgent camp near Barnan, in the province of South Ilocos, Luzon, kill lug five of the enemy and capturing tneir supplies. It is reported that the small steamers Oriente and Carman, plying on the Fasig river and Liaguna de Bay, have been seized, it being alleged that they were trading with the insurgents. Contraband articles were found aboard the steamers. The Oriente had been seized previously but had been re leased, the evidence against her not being sufficient to justify her being held. This time, however, the evidence of illegal trading is stronger. The authorities are determined to stop smuggling on Laguna de Bay, and other arrests may follow. New Book For Men .

A: special dis patch from Cape Town, dated March 8th, says the Bo? rs lost forty killed in an engagement with an armored train near Rooenoogte. They mistook the train for one loaded with horses, and allowed it to come ' within range. whereupon fire was opened from the train and the Boers fled, some of them abandoning their nn.es. London, March 10. Advices from two great South African financial houses confirm the intelligence that Lord Kitchener and (ieneral Botha have been in negotiation for six days. Peace, or at least a lone step towards the end of the war, is looked for next week. The War Office last night declined to contribute anything to these great expectations, which include, accord ing to some, the making of a formal submission by - Botha ou Monday, when his force will surrender to French. Among the versions as to what is going on there is one with some om cial countenance tbat the government is offering Botha far more liberal terms than the parlimentary declara tions have given .any idea of.
