CARLISLE'S ATT FLICTION.
S——_
He Will Be Operated On to Ralieve Him
of a Baperflons Lump.
Within a day or two Sseretary Carlisle
will submit to an operation, says the New
York Pross, A large lump bas developed
on his right arm above the elbow. This has
resisted all treatment looking to a reduction,
and Dr, Bryant and Dr. J. Ford Thompson,
of Washington, have decided that it must be
removed by the surgeon's knife,
Mr. Carlisle has suffored much agony from
the enlargement, The lump has grown on
the muscles and nerve of the arm, and has
#0 firmly taken hold of them that the Secre-
tary Is virtually deprived of the use of his
right arm.
Mr. Carlisle presented himself to Dr.
Thompson to have the operation performed
several days ago. The surgeon, however,
refused to undertake it until softening ap-
plications had been applied to the nocuons
growth for a day or two. The fact of the
approaching operation has been carefully
guarded by the Secretary and members of hin
family,
