Open Door Policy—Provincial G’overnors May Be Brought to 'I‘el'nis by Force: NEW YORK, May 10.—-C. J. Dudgeon, one of the best known members of the Anglo—American mercantile community of Shanghai, has paid a flying visit to New York on his way home to England. Mr. Dudgeon has "been for some years chairman of the Shanghai branch of the British-China association and was for— merly chairman of the Shanghai Cham- ber of Commerce. He has had a long and intimate knowledge of the condi- tions affecting foreign trade in China and holds decided views in regard to the responsibilities which recent events there impose on the governments of Great Britain and the United States. Mr. Dudgeon was asked by a press representative: “What, in your judg- ment, is the policy which should be pur- sued by the two great commercial na— tions of the far east for the protection and promotion of their interests in China?” . , “Unquestionably the strengthening of the government of that empire,” was the reply. “The Chinese government never was in so abject a condition of weakness as it is today. It is hopelessly corrupt, and it is helpless to refuse any demand backed by force that may be made upon it. But it is a great mistake to assume that the influences which make for reform in China are few or feeble. 'We in Shanghai think that Eng— land and the powers which'want noth— ing from China but the maintenance of their trade and treaty rights missed a great opportunity last September in failing to come to the support of the emperor in carrying out his farreach- ing and in the main intelligent and practicable projects of reform. “Don’t you recognize a danger to the future of the open door for commerce in China in an agreement like that just made between ,,Great Britain and Rus— sia?” was asked. “Not immediately at least. j.ussia has advanced as far as she is likely to do for some years to come, and while her ambition in China is purely terri- torial, as that of Great Britain and. the United States is purely commercial, I have no doubt her government honest— ly means to respect the. existing treaty rights of other nations. ' “The only way to bring the provincial No force, and I would have the power of the maritime customs officers support- ed by a flotilla of river gunboats carry— ing the Chinese flag and doing the work of the government of China. A few of them would make a very quick rid- dance of the likin stations maintained in defiance alike of central authority and the treaty rights of foreign nations. “No one who has not had actual ex- perience of the working 'of the present system can realize what the opening of communication by modern methods on land and water in China would mean for trade. Only a very little enterprise is needed to have direct communication by steamers all the way from Shanghai to the headwaters of the Yangtse. Some excellent pioneer work in this direction has already been done, and the British government has taken up with some earnestness the question of navigating the rapids of the river above Ichang. But this is only one of a hundred cases in China. in which the touch of modern civilization is bound to yield rich re- sults. In the province of I-Iunan there. are vast deposits of coal which might be easily tapped for the use of Shang— hai, and yet the mills and factories there draw their supply of coal from Japan. But so much has happened in China during the last 18 months .to break down :he old traditions and let in light on new places that it is not too sanguine to believe that the immediate future will bring with it a greatly ae- celcrated-pace of improvement. With Great'Britain and the United States going hand in hand for the furtherance of the interests of commerce in, China there should be no limit to the improve- ments which will shortly be effected in the whole organization and political and material status of this ancient empire.” A Department Store Tax. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. May 10,— The department store bill passed the house as amended by the senate by a vote of 81 to 20. It only needs the ap- proval of the governor to become a law. As amended it gives the collector 10 per cent of all licenses collected,'making it the most lucrative office in the state. The bill provides for a license fee'of $300 or $500, in accordance with the number of departments conducted in the same store, and its object is to crush out this method of carrying on The constitutionality of the law will doubtless be tested in the courts, for merchants of St. Louis arid Kansas City contend- that it is class leg- islation pure and simple.

Adams, was freed from that charge yesterday. The grand jury failed to find an indict- ment. He walked but of Judge McMa- hon’s courtroom, part 1 of general ses— sions, only to be rearrested at the door, charged in a special sessions warrant with assault in the first degree on Har- ry Cornish.

CHARLESTON. May 10,—While en- tering the jettied Swash channel, draw- ing 20 feet and just abreast of No. 1 black buoy, the Raleigh touched bottom yesterday and hung for a moment. The tide caught her broadside and swept her across the channel and upon the sand bank. The ship was being conned by Captain Coghlan' and Pilot Lind. The latter is a licensed coast pilot and has been with the ship since leaving New York. Late in the afternoon, when the tide filled, the cruiser was pulled off and proceeded up to the harbor to her an- chorage. It was stated by her officers that a superficial examination disclosed no injuries to her hull. The accident ne- cessitated a postponement of the official reception to the cruiser, and this was carried out today according to pro— gramme.

I had been troubled with leucorrhoea for some time, but had given hardly any attention to the trouble. _ ” At. last inflammation of the womb and ovaries resulted and then I suf- fered agonies, had to give up my pro-H fession (musician and , iano player), was confined to my bed “and life became a terrible cross.
