PROSPECTS OF BRITISH POLITICS
tBT CABLE TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1
London, July 2a CopyrigJif The at
tempt to eon- distrust between the Liberals
snd their Irish allies has been vigorously
continued this week by Tory and Liberal
Unionist newspapers and orators. So far
it has not met with much of a success, be-,
cause sensible people prefer to wait until
Jlr. Gladstone, from his place in Parlia
ment, shall hare taken the country into his
confidence as to his intentions.
But suspicion does not take long to root
in the minds of the Irish Nationalists, who
know from history and experience how
oltcn their country's cause has been be
trayed by British statesmen, and if he is to
receive the loyal support of the Irish mem
bers it will be necessary for Mr. Gladstone
to speak without ambiguity at the earliest
convenient moment. This is the more de
sirable, inasmuch as remarks in some
Liberal newspapers are calculated to im
plant distrust in the Irish mind. It has
been urged in some of these organs of ad
tanced opinion that Ireland should be
persuaded to agree to a postponement of
home rule until, by various popular elect
oral and social reforms, or their rejection
by the House of Lords, the Liberal party
shall have been so strengthened as to insure
its return to power after the next general
election by an overwhelming majority.
That of course aflords a most alluring
prospect lor British Liberal', but it is not
one which the Irish Nationalists can regard
with satisfaction.
Not 3lany People Doubt Gladstone.
Few people doubt Mr. Gladstone's good
faith, but the same trust is not placed in
his colleagues, who, with perhans the soli
tary exception of John Morlev, adopted
home rule as a mere political expediency,
and require the application ot the Irish
spur to keep them going in the right path.
It thec men had the handling ot the Lib
eral majority, independent of the Irish
vote, tliev could not be trusted to give Ire
land a full measure ot justice, shouldMr.
Gladstone be out of the way, and thus it is
the obvious duty of th,e Nationalists to in
sist that no delar shall now be allowed in
pressing forward a home rule bill.
Inionnation obtained by Disi'ATCJI re
porters leaves no room for doubt that Mr.
Gladstone is mot earnestly resolved to pro
ceed with a home rule bill with the least
posible delaj. A loteof want of confi
dence in the present Government will be
moved and pressed to a division as quickly
as the forms ot Parliament permit, and as
soon as a new Ministry has been formed
Parliament will be prorogued in order that
the Liberal members may have a much
needed holiday previous to commencing,
probably in November, the hard work of
passing a home rule bill in the face ot the
determined and unscrupulous opposition
and obstruction of the Tories and Mug
wumps. The Grand Old Man's Movements.
Contrary to expectation, Mr. Gladstone
proceeded direct to Hawarden from Scot
land, and according to present arrangements
he will not come to London before the
middle of next week. There is really no
need for him to come to town earlier, now
that the Government has determined to
wait until the assembling of Parliament be
fore resigning. He does not presumably
share the general curiosity as to the mean
ing of the lrequent ministerial confer
ences which have taken place in
London this week, and of the long in
terview which the Duke of Devonshire
had with Lord Salisbury yesterday. Some
people connect these movements with the
monstrous suggestion to which the inspired
Morning Fos! gave great prominence, yes
terdav, that the ministers should hold on
to ounce at least until next February. After
pointing out that there is really no business
lor tne new Parliament to do because, before
dissolution, the House of Commons voted
the necessary supplies for carrying on the
business of the country, the .Port proceeds:
In view of the fact that the Government
now have not to deal with a homogeneous
united opuosition, but only with a dis
jointed horde of tactions in little or no sym
pathy with each other, what justification
lor a resignation of office can be found in
the haphazard action of these !act!onson
the basis of an abstract resolution? How
can Lord Salisbury and ht colleagues con
scientiously reconcile with their duty to
theii sovereign, their rarty and their cause,
the precipitate abandonment of their offices
and of their power in consequence of the
action of the hoi de which now disfigures the
character and degrades the traditions of
Parliamentary opposition.
.Advice to Lord Salisbury.
Advice which may well be offered to Lord
Salisbury and his colleagues, in the event of
a resolution of want of confidence being ar
rived at bv the piesent House of Commons
during the next few days, is to take on it no
ministerial action beyond that of advising
the soercin to prorogue Parliament till
the normal period for its assemblage ar
rives. Then the ministerial programme will
be submitted. Then the ministers will in
vite Parliament to proceed with the
ordinary business of the year. Then and
then only, should Parliament reject their
proposals, will be the time lor them to de
cide upon the resignation of office.
This was the very danger that Mr. Glad
stone foresaw when the Commons was asked
to grant a full supply instead of giving the
customary vote on account and it v as under
stood at the time that be received from Mr.
Balfour assurances that the Ministers would
not attempt to do that which their organ in
the press is now urging them to da It is
not likely, therefore, that the Government
will follow the dishonorable advice ten
dered by the Morning Foil, even though it
has been indorsed by a Tory newspaper of
less note.
The Arbaler Zeitung, the chief labor organ
in Austria, yesterday remarked that more
significant than the turning of the Con
servative majority into a Liberal one is the
fact "that lor the first time in England the
organized working classes, during the re
cent general election, figured as an inde
pendent party, under the flag of socialism,
and gained victories."
A Prevalent Misconception.
A similar misconception prevails in other
European countries, and a distorted view of
the so-called labor party may have been
taken in Auerica. As a matter ot fact, of
10 members who constitute the misnamed
"labor" party in the new House of Corn
Commons, only one, viz. John Barns, stood
for election as a labor candidate, pure and
simple.
Mr. "William Austin was successful in
"West Limerick because he was the nominee
of the Nationalist party, and the other 13
men described themselves and were elected as
Liberal sod labor candidates. Every one
. &Zil -:- lisa-lfsalftrtiifsteis'lTMseWIslA sMliWnliliiim 'ft - iJtf-WWJffiffiibrrfiNii iiaslii1tfn ' "il'iA
of them owed his election to Liberal as dis
tinct from purely labor votes, and every
labor candidate ho was not also a Home
Ruler and the nominee of the local Liberal
party failed ignominously, polling in most
instances less than a hundred votes.
These facts are aptly illustrated bv the
case of Mr. Keir Hardie, member for South
westham, who, as already stated, went to
Newcastle and delivered a speech against
John Morley because of that gentleman's
opposition to the legal eight hours' day.
Numerous meetings have been held this
week in Westham, at which Keir Hardie's
conduct has been vehemently denounced by
bis constituents, and it is certain that if he
should not mend his ways before then,
Hardie will be thrown out at the next elec
tion by those same Liberals and Radicals
'who put him m.
Liberal! First, Labor Man Afterward.
If the labor members desire to exercise
any influence in the House of Commons
thev will have for the present at any rate
to be Liberals first and labor representa
tives afterward. This is the opinion of
Tom Mann, one of the shrewdest and most
influential of labor leaders, who told a re
porter yesterday that he did not think the
time had yet arrived when it would be pos
sible to form an independent labor'party in
the House of Commons. The labor foroes were
being rapidly concentrated in the various
districts in London and the provinces, but
would be able lor some time to come to
work sectionally. The organization of the
party would, he thought, be the work of
some years, though the labor societies and
trades unions which existed were making
headway in the desired direction and ren
dering the formation of a national labor
rjartv more and more possible.
The Executive Council of the Lancashire
Cotton Spinners' Association has just de
cided to recommend ali employers belong
ing to the aasociation to insist upon a re
duction of wages, and to run all the mills
on short time for one month. It is pretty
certain that the recommendation will be .ac
cepted, and there is reason to believe that
the men will not object to a 5 per cent re
duction, in view of the undoubted fact that
trade is extremely unsatisfactory. It is
said in Bolton that one local joint stock has
suffered a loss of 10,000 during the half
year ended last June, and that many other
firms in the district are working at a loss.
Justification of the Fasiltm.
The prevailing pessimism is jnstifiedby the
annual report to the Board of Trade by Mr.
Henderson, Superintending Inspector of
Factories and Workshops, who states that it
is estimated that more money has been lost in
Lancashire cotton industries during the past
12 months than in any year yet recorded. In
Oldnam alone it is believed the losses on the
last three months' working will not be less
than 100,000. The inspector says:
An explanation is found in the fluctua
tions which have taken place in the raw ma
terial. In 1590 the American cotton crop
was noor in quality, but exceptionally
abundant. The result was n serious arop in
prices, and spinners who had been accus
tomed for several years in succession to do
well by buying cotton early in the season
have during the past vear been caught, and
have had to face a falling moiket lor raw
material and a stagnant market of the man
ufactured article. But it will bo seen
other canses are at work. The inspector
declares that the condition of affairs in
Lancashire at the present time is regarded
by some who have nad lone experience in
the trade as very critical. Pora Ion? period
there has been a growing; tendency on the
part of private capitalists to withdraw fi om
the business. It is distressins to witness
the havoc which has been made in some of
the picturesque valleys of Lancashire
by the pressure of modern emulation
and competition. Factories and cottages
closed and untenanted, many of them un
roofed and in rnins.raet the visitorat almost
every turn and they give some indication of
the great sacrifice or capital which must
have neen made before the present hopeless
condition of things had been reached. The
cotton spinner and manufacturer who owns
his mills and machinery himself promises
soon to become extinct, and we shall then be
reduced to the positlon.whlch obtains In tlio
manufacturing- districts of America. The
only employers of labor will be limited com
panies or corporations.
Tho Present Volition Deplored.
Mr. Henderson deplores the threatened
extinction of the class of small capitalists
and individual employers, and attributes
their withdrawal from "the trade partly to
causes already mentioned and partly to
their reluctance to endure the increasing
worries and annoyances arising from "the
increasing demands made upon members by
the Legislature and growing difficulties of
dealing with work people and their repre
sentatives." "Which is another way of
stating that old-tashioned cotton magnates
accustomed to lord it over their
operatives resent the efforts of Parliament
and trade unions to improve the condition
ot the people, but if the future prosperity
of the Lancashire cotton industries is to de
pend upon the indifference of Parliament
and the inanition of trade unions wherever
the interests of employers and employed
come into conflict, the outlook 15 very black
indeed, seeing that organized labor is be
coming more powerful every day and that
the majority of the new House of Commons
is pledged to further labor and social re
forms. The Marqnis of Salisbury is probably the
only living man who hax twice refused a
Dukedom. The title, the Bighest the Brit
ish sovereign can confer, was vainly offered
him in 18SG, when he was thrown out of of
fice by a vote of the House of Commons,and
again'in 1887, the jubilee year. It is be
lieved that the offer will be repeated and
accepted next month, when the Marquis re
tires into opposition. Then Joseph Cham
berlain will have two Dukes as leaders,
which ought to make him happy.
Only a Thine or Yesterday.
Lord Salisbury's Marquisate is but a
thing of yesterdav, having been conferred
on the seventh early in 1789, but the earldom
dates from 1605, when it was given by
James L to the famous courtier and states
man, Robert Cecil. Judging by precedent,
Lord Salisbury, before retiring from power,
will distribute two or three peerages and
several baronetcies among those of his fol
lowers who have most helped the Tory
cause with brain or purse.
Englishmen have been reading with im
mense satisfaction this week of the extra
ordinary proceedings of Sir Charles Evan
Smith, British Minister to Morocco, who
was sent on a special mission to the Sultan
at Fez. The tact that that mission has
completely failed, owing to the superior
diplomacy of the French and Spanish Min
isters, is apparently .amply atoned lor by
the spectacle of a British diplomat
"bearding the lion in his den, that
is to say, insulting the Sultan
and his Grand "Vizier. The Tories in par
ticular are delighted at this fine display of
"jingoism." because the probabilities are
that the Liberals will have to pay the piper.
Mr. Gladstone inherited from his Torv pre
decessors the difficulties in Egypt which
eventually made necessary the bombard
ment ot Alexandria and an expensive cam
paign. It is quite possible that if Lord
Salisbury's policy in Morocco be continued
by Lord Eosebery it mav lead to a bombard
ment of Tangier by the British ironclads,
the Cardiff and Swansea.
THE FBKHCH FEOHTIEE VIOLATED.
German Troops Make Two Incursions
Across the Boundary Line.
PABIS, July 23. A Nancy journal pub
lishes an unconfirmed report that SO Ger
man soldiers recently crossed the French
frontier between Oussey and Avricourton,
passing along the road leading to the
Chateau Salins and visiting a French fanfl,
where theytayed for a long time.
.According to the same report, a sqnadron
of German cavalry crossed the frontier at
the same point a lew minutes after the first
incursion, although the boundary line was
clearly marked by posts.

I he People or Baku Drank Sewage From a
Hospital Jast Above Them.
Vienna, July 23. Accerding to reports
in Austro-Polish papers, a, workman ied of
the plague at Baku July 2. The doctors
declared it to be a case of the plague, but
the Government denied it and forbade any
mention of the matter in the newspapers.
No preventive measures were ordered by
the authorities. The plague spread and
large numbers of the inhabitants have since
died.- Tne disease came from Meshed.
Three years ago the hospital authorities
at Jarosslaff, on the Volga river.'had pipes
secretly constructed to convey the hospital
sewage into the river, just above where the
town obtains its water supply, and the in
habitants of the town have been drinking
poisoned water ever since.. If a similar
state of affairs exists in other towns, this
pollution may explain the spreading of
cholera along the Volga.

fBT CABUC TO THE DISPATCH.
LONDON", July 23. The young King of
Servia is still enjoying at Ems the ques
tionable advantage of his father s society.
According to a well-informed correspond
ent of the Standard, ex-King Milan
is said to have forbidden the
visit of Queen Natalie, the boy's mother,
acting on the paternal rights guaranteed to
him by the Servian Constitution. The news
has excited great interest at Belgrade,
where the Progressists, under M.
Garashanin, side, with Queen Na
talie, and nearly every respectable
man has lost whatever sympathy he once
felt for the ex-King. There has been a good
deal of talk of late in the Servian capital
about Milan's private life in Paris, origi
nated by a letter from Paris forwarded to and
published by all the Begrade papers, with the
anonymous signature, ".a. xrue .friend ot
Servfa," but believed to have come from
the pen of Queen Natalie. 1st this com
munication the assistance of the Servian
people is invoked to prevent the first
regent, M. Bistich, from ruining King
Alexander by placing him under his father's
guardianship, "a man who spends his days
between the gaming table, the turf and the
boudoirs of his sweethearts."
The regents are said to be negotiating at
St. Petersburg to obtain the young Kjng's
betrothal to an imperial Busslan grand
duchess, but their success is doubtful,
because the Servian throne is
becoming a somewhat precarious seat.
The present Government is afraid
to compel the payment ot taxes, be
cause the peasants, in resentment,
would vote for the opposition candidates,
and- a large proportion of money actually
collected somehow finds its way into Mi
lan's pockets. Civil and military officers
have to wait for their salaries, and it is be
lieved many of them have, In consequence,
been won over to the interests of the pre
tender, Prince Karageorgevitch, son-in-law
to the doughty Prince of Montenegro.
SB. HALE'S WOKK IN ENGLAND.
Unitarians Crowding; the Church Where
Be Is Now Speaking.
fBT CABLE TO TOT DISPATCH.
London, July 23. The Unitarians of
England held a public meeting in Essex
Hall Thursday night to welcome Rev. Dr.
Edward Everett Hale, of Boston. The large
audience included nearly every representa
tive British Unitarian, and a number of
Americans, among whom were Senator
Hoar and Itev. C. A. Staples. Dr. Hale's
style of oratory was keenly relished, and
several Englishmen present expressed the
hope that the eloquent Bostonian would
find time to address a meeting of
young ministers, in order to take the
oratorical conceit out of them. The au
dience particularly enjoyed Dr. Hale's
references to the ritualistic controversies
now raging in this country, and which, in
fact, have never ceased for GO years past
In this world, he said, too mnch force
was wasted in discussing the .merits of this
tin tack or that tin tack of ritual and arch
itecture. It was all one to Unitarians
whether sfeeples were Gothic or only Tudor,
or whether there were any steeples at
alL They only wanted somebody
to ring a bell loudly,so that people should
know when to go to ohurch, and they were
not worried by such questions as whether
they would have candles lighted in the mid
dle ot the day or not. Dr. Hale's re
marks are opportune just now, for disputes
as to ritual or doctrine are agitating
some non-conformists as well as Episco
palian churches in this country, and within
a few weeks the two great rival organiza
tions into which members of the Church of
England are divided, the Church Associa
tion and the Church Union, will meet in an
nual congress and hurl denunciations at
each other.

IFE? Ah, but
this is the life;
and this is the
country! It was
known in the be
ginning, I take it,
that people would
make much un hap
piness for each
other; that they
would build cities,
for the cramping
of the free limbs
and the free indi

soiling of the free air; places where the
brain might be wearied out and the heart
made sick in the shortest possible time, by
divers great and Ingenious engines of man's

there's still something to be done in the

aches a little, and I am the happiest mortal
the biggest Injun in the Texas Pan
handle I attended my first round-up yesterday.
BETTER THAN A
I
There is a horse about the ranch called
Telephone, with whose gait and behavior I
was struck at first sight; a good-sized horse,
not a pony; quick, nervous, spirited; alto
gether much like a thoroughbred. I asked
and was allowed to ride Telephone (some
reference to lightning, I guess) to the
round-up. The day was an awful one, such
as they don't often have down here in the
Panhandle,- the mercury was above 100, the
sun blisteringfand the wind, which is ordi
narily our salvation, was hot and dry.
Our party consisted of two of the ladies of
the family in a buggy, and "three of us
horseback, Mr. D , one of the ranch pro
prietors, a yonng fellow of 20 visiting here
from a young city of the Panhandle,
and myself. We went along gaily, not giv
ing a cent for the weather. The horse was
all I believed of him, and more; I was never
on a thing with more delightful and varied
gaits. "We got to the place about 12 o'clock;
the cattle were pretty well gathered in from
the different pastures; the men had killed
and prepared a beef, and were about to have
dinner and do the rounding up, cutting out,
branding, etc., afterward.
A Core for Chronic Dyspepsia.
I would recommend to the jaded palate
and captious fancy that cannot be pleased at
THEY BRANDED
Delmonico's, beef killed an hour since and
fried in grease in a skillet, or broiled on a
stick in the smoke and flames, cafe noir out
of a tin cup, biscuits, butter and pickles. I
offer this out of the fullness of my experi
ence, as the most satisfactory, not to say
luxurious, meal imaginable, when eaten un
der the proper circumstances and amid its
legitimate surroundings.
The ladies drove bacs home after dinner,
but Johnnie and I followed Mr. D over
to where thev were rounding up. There
were 2,000 or'3,000 cattle and 10 or 12 men.
Two ot these were great, tall, heavy, black
bearded, spleudld looking men of 38 or 40;
the rest slim, sinewy yonng fellows, all that
I happened to notice blondes, with their
eyes and teeth, too, when they laughed
glaring vthitely out of their sun-burned
faces.
The last stragglers were just being round
ed in as we came up. Johnnie drew his
horse up quietly to one side and eat there;
but I uent up and began riding round the
herd sort of casually like, the rest were
doing, turning back any cattle that Here
disposed to bolt. The animals were all bel
lowing and shaking their heads, and making
occasional breaks for the open plain; the
horses were all alert and dashing about to
keep them massed, and only the men
seemed nonchalent and unconcerned. And
there was a tickling in my muscles, a short
ening of my breath, a quickening of my
heart, and a sort of glorious lightness in the
top of my head.
She Pick Oat a Muley Victim.
"Well, I herded around awhile, all the
cowboys regarding me with serious ap
proval, or with that well-bred unconscious
ness which refrains from observing too
closely for fear ol causing embarrassment
When the cutting out began I was as car
ried away with enthusiastic admiration as I
knew I should be when I finally came to
see this process of which we read. Such
riding! Such skill, and quickness, and ad
dress! It was a hand to Hand struggle and
a wild race with almost every animal before
it was finally landed in the outer bunch.
But now the impulse to take a hand
waxed irresistible. Positively my breath
came in gasps, the blood jumped through
my veins like quicksilver, and the noble
recklessness in the top of my head flew all
over me. I had noticed they cnt ont and
E laced in the separate bunch only the year
ngs; and seeing a promising fellow of this
class a strawberry-roan muley near me,
I put my horse In qnietlv among the
herd, cut him out, and started him
toward the outer bunco. Be escaped me,
ilfiiiii
after a dozen hot tarns, and regained
the fringes of the herd, shaking his muley
head and swearing in a hoarse undertone.
Bather hoping nobody had noticed my per
formance, I was preparing to rejoin the
ranks of the herders as unostentatiously as
pestible, when one Of the big, black-bearded
men sheared his little cat ot a ponv in close
to me and said, encouragingly, "You'll get
him yet," waving his hand toward the calf.
The Horse Was a Little Too Big.
This was enough. I wheeled Telephone
toward the "herd, dug my left heel Into him
till he jumped like a kangaroo, we shot in
between the calf and the other cattle, cut it
out, and the fight began. My horse was
rather large for the work; then, too, though
he is light, fast and spirited, he has never
been trained as a cow-horse; and I couldn't
turn him like lightning, as the regular
cutting ponies do. We tore back and forth,
back and forth, between the herd and the
other bunch; the roan calf broke into the
open plain, Telephone and I after him; we
headed and brought him back.
O, we flew I
The horse wanned to the chase I As for
me, I was aflame; I forgot -that life had
held some disappointments; that a lime had
been, and will come again, when teeth must
be filled, or duty calls made. I forgot that
I wanted fame, wealth, wisdom and a sun
burn specific. Hope, fear, love, ambition,
were unremembered dreams. Life was a
roan yearling of diabolical swiftness and
perverseness, fleeing between the level
plain and the burning sky; and I, with
neither flesh nor bones, nor anything out a
blind, consuming passion to outrun and
outgeneral him, and land him in the bunch
of yearlings. No captive or condemned
criminal of old Borne ever drove his tearful
chariot race in the great hippodrome, for
the prize of his own fife ransomed from the
lions or the executioner, in a finer ecstacy
of rashness than that which inspired me to
the chase of my roan calf; nor could he nave

None the TO orse for Bard TJsige.
Success is the most seductive of intoxi
cants, ambition the keenest spur and in
citement. I had cut out and gotten over to
the yearling bunch, unassisted, three ani
mals, had been helped with a fourth, and
helped another fellow with a fifth, when
Mr. D rode up to me and asked if
Johnnie and I could' find our way home
alone. "Yon mustn't forget that "you've

got that nine miles Sto ride yet, through
this beat. You'll be; in bed to-morrow if
I don't send you home right away," he
said.
So we came tne final mile was a mere
matter ot endurance. My face was burned
a uniform flaming scarlet, which light and
cheerful tint, deepened in the course of a
few hours to a rich maroon; so that, to the
casual observer, the only distinguishing
mark between me and an Apache squaw is
the whiteness of my hands, made more
conspicuous from their long drenching with
perspiration inside heavy gloves. And, lo,
after a "bath and a two or three hours' rest,
I am as 'fresh and brisk as possible, and
again as unconscious of my body as a man
is said to be of a healthy, well-behaved
stomach.
"When Mr. D came home he told how
the men had commented on his "new
hand."
"You got her trained mighty quick," they
said. "The first thing she cut out was a
maverick."
So my roan yearling was a maverick; and
that was partly why the boys all cheered
and laughed so! I demanded it of Mr. D
at once, as findings of this sort is keepings.
But be said I came away before the brand-

Ing was done, and the "D" brand was on its
speckled side now.
It don't seem so strange to me now that
people's boys have been known to run away
from college and from business positions in
the Easi, to come out here and be cowboys
on the wild and wind; frontier.

KOCH WAS ALL BIGHT.
The German Doctor's Cure for Con
sumption Correct in Principle
HE K0W HAS IT PERFECTED.
Expert
Bacteriologists Seeking Remedies
for Other Diseases. '
PRETENTION THROUGH VACCINATION
SPECIAL TELJEOItAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.
"Washington, -July 23. The Govern
ment bacteriologists at "Washington, Drs.
De Schweinitz and Kenyon, are actively
engaged at present in following out a line
of experiments now being pursued by
science in all the great centers of human
knowledge, which are destined soon to
bring forth most astonishing results. All
mankind must needs be interested in the
subject, because it signifies the discovery of
means for preventing and curing many of
the most fatal diseases to which the ffesh is
heir.
The investigations are being conducted
very quietly, lest the public mind be pre
maturely stirred up over the matter, thus
doing more harm than good, as was the case
with Koch's famous "lymph." The trouble
with the lymph was that it was brought out
.before it was ready. Other physicians were
so afraid that Dr. Koch would anticipate
them in the field of discovery that tmSy ex
torted his secret from him and forced him
to make his achievement public before it
was fairly accomplished. Immediately
there was a cry from all over the world for
the new remedy a cry of despair freshly
inspired by hope, which could not be re
fused. Beluctantly the inventor was com
pelled to set to work and manufacture his
imperfect preparation in quantities for dis
tribution everywhere. That it failed to ac
complish the wonders expected of it is not
surprising.
Koch Has His Care Perfected.
Profiting by this experience, Dr. Koch
and his assistants have been pursuing their -
investigations secretly in the same direc
tion, publishing nothing on the subject and
saying very little. It can be stated with
authority that they have obtained some
great results. The statement may even be
made that they have found out how to cure
consumption, if it shall not have progressed
too far, as well as other complaints of a
tubercular nature, like lupus. But nothing
about the matter will be made formally
public until evidence that is beyond dis
puting can be pointed to fn the shape of
sick persons restored to health, with the
history of each case in detail accompanying!
Experimental researches in this line have
been carried on for more than a year past by
many baoteriologists elsewhere than in
Berlin. It has been recognized from the
first that the lymph was a great discovery,
but it was valuable rather in theory than in
practice, because it was too crude. Besides
the curative agent, it contained a fever
producing poison that was in itself danger
ous to life, as well as other undesirable in
gredients. Therefore the experts have
directed their efforts to separating the
actual remedial substance from the other
parts. Injections of this will destroy the
tubercle bacilli in the lungs or elsewhere
without causing any reaction in the shape
of fever or otherwise doing any harm to the
patient
The Gumi Kill Themselves.
To make all this perfectly understood it
is only necessary to explain in a few words
the idea which is at the bottom of the
lymph, and also of similar remedies for
other troubles which will soon be embraced
in ordinary medical practice. "Why do
people ever recover from such complaints
as pneumonia, typhoid fever and diphthe
ria? , Oue would think that the disease
germs' would always go on multiplying in
definitely until they killed the patient
Luckily, however, in feeding on the tissues
of. the body and thus causing various mor
bid symptoms they secrete incidentally a
poison that is fatal to themselves. "When
enough of the poison has been produced it
destroys the germs and the victim gets well,
supposing that death has been kept off Ion;:
enough. Each species of "pathogenic
germs secretes its own peculiar poison.
Now the bacteriologists believe that if
they can isolate these germ-destroying poi
sons they can utilize them to kill the germs
in the human body by injecting them into
the circulation. Precisely that idea is the
basis ot Koch's lymph, only that this prep
aration was not properly made, as has been
said. 'It contained at least one undesirable
poison in addition to the one that was
wanted. When the true anti-tnbercn!ar
poison is obtained in a pure state by itself,
as has probably been done already bv Dr.
Koch, a sure remedy for consumption in its
early stages, as well as lor lupus at any
stage, will have been secured.
Experiments on Babbits.
Before very long other lymphs, which are
now being experimented with in laborator
ies here and abroad, win he employed in
the treatment of scarlet fever, lockjaw,
diphtheria, carbuncle, typhoid fever,
typhus, an,l pneumonia all ot them com
plaints caused by bacteria, From nearly
all of these it is found that n.bbits and
guinea-pigs can be rendered immune that
is, incapable of contracting them by the
peculiar poisons above described. It is
reasonable to suppose that the latter will
operate with equal eilectivencss in the case
ot human beings.
Toward the ouring of the came diseases
by like means, when they have been ac
quired, important steps have been taken.
At a lectnre delivered in Washington the
other day, photographs were exhibited of
rabbits which had been made very sick by
inoculation with tuberculosis of the eye.
To show how efficacious the remedy em
ployed had been, the animals themselves
were displayed in their cages, perfectly re
stored to health.
Bow the Poison Is Separated.
The method by which these poisons are

a person or animal that has died of a bacter
ial complaint is touched with a platinum
needle that has been previously heated for
the purpose of destroying all other germs
noon it The needle is then introduced
into a glass tnbe partly filled with gelatine
that has been sterilized by boiling. On this
nntritious medium the bacteria at once
feed and multiply with great rapidity, so
that within a few hours there is a discolored
patoh composed of myriads of them on the
surface of the gelatine. '
These artificially-propagated microbes
are taken and put through a complicated
chemical process, so as to get rid of the
germs themselves and secure separately the
poison which they have secreted while feed
ing on the stuff in the bottle. And this
poison is the curative agent elaborated by
nature for the purpose of annihilating the
germs and killing the disease they cause.
CAHADA "WILL BETAIIATE,
What Its Government Proposes to Bo If
the New Canal Toll Act Is Enforced.
Ottawa, Ont., July 23. It is reported
to-night on good authority that the
Dominion Government, in the event of
President Harrison's enforcing the act im
posing an equal tax on Canadian vessels
passing through the "Soo" canal, will pass
an order in council imposing an equal tax
on American vessels passing through the
"Welland canal.
This, it is declared, will not be any more
of an evasion of the treaty of "Washington
than the threatened American decree, as
the United States Government, by the
same treaty, agreed ,to secure for Cana
dians on the same terms as Americans the
use of the "Soo" canal, at that time owned
by the State of Michigan.

ALICE MITCHELL'S MANIA.
It Is Described by a Medical .Expert, Who)
Says the Girl Murderer Is Undoubtedly
Insane She Was Afflicted With Brain
I.ove and Jealoay.
Memphis, July 23. At the Alice Mitch
ell trial this morning Dr. P. L. Sim, a med
ical expert, testified that he had made a
specialty of diseases of the brain and nervous
system, and had examined into Alice Mitch
ell's mental condition a few days after the
homicide. He said, when he alluded to the
relations between her and Freda "Ward, she
broke down in sobs and tears. The im
pression made on witness' mind was that,
delendant had undergone a marked change
and was net responsible for her actions.
She made her relations with Freda very
clear to me. It was that there was a mutual
love between them as between male and
female. Such cases are rare, but are on
record and are recognized by the profes
sion. Interrogated as to his opinion of Miss
Mitchell's mental condition, he replied that
she was undoubtedly insane, and that her'
form of mania was rarely recovered from. He
believed the love between these girl was'
brain love. In speaking of the thwarting
of the plans of such an insane person and
the separation of her and the object of her
affection, the witness explained that insane
jealousy wonld ensue, and the illusion that
she must remove the object of her love be
comes imperative in hcr."Witness's opinion
was that defendant's face did not show the
intelligence to be expected in a girl of her
years. He was -convinced she was insane
