THE CHOLERA BPEBADIKQ IN HAMBURG
IBT CABLE TO THI DISPATCH. 1
Pabis, Dee. 26. ICopyrtgU. Prime
Minister Eibot was to-day challenged to a
duel by Andrienx. The Premier in his
great speech last Thursday referred to a re
cent book by Andrienx as the work of a
diplomat who was sowing disorder.
Andrienx sent ProvaL aa ex-Deputy,
and Leronx, ex-Magistrate, to demand sat
isfaction. They saw Bibot's secretary. He
affirmed that the book and the author were
legitimate objects of public criticism, and
that a challenge on such basis could not be
considered. Riboi later took the same
position, and declared that the code did not
permit a call to arms for sueh a cause.
Andrieux will therefore publicly insult
the Prime Minister in order to bring abont
a. meeting. It looks as though Andrienx
now sought to provoke the Cabinet into ex
ecution of its apparently abandoned pur
pose to prosecute him.
Herz Responsible for the Evidence.
It should be borne in mind that much of
Andrieux's evidence against members of
Parliament and Ministers, which he is
slowly dealing out, he obtained from Cor
nelius Herz, whose possession of it I ex
plained in last night's dispatch.
The sessions of the investigating commis
sion will be held with closed doors during
the recess of Parliament A member of the
commission has furnished me with a liberal
abstract of to-day's proceeding. The com
mission received a dispatcn lrom the editor
of the Gazette, of Moscow, requesting the
fullest inquiry into the report that the cor
respondent of that journal has been paid
C00,OCO francs from the Panama funds.
President Brisson reported that an exam
ination of the first portion of the Panama
Company's paper showed nothing impli
cating members of Parliament Stubs of
800 checks, representing 17,500,000 lrancs,
are in the hands of M. Batian,'whom the
commission has Summoned for Thursday.
He was formerly connected with Le Soir
and the Telegraph. He is expected to more
definitely implicate De Freycinet, Minister
of "War, "and Burdeau, Minister of Marine,
in connection with the payment of Panama
boodle to those papers.
Prisoners Receiving No favors.
Lawyers representing the Panama officers
now in prison have signed a. joint protest
against the extreme severity of treatment
ot their clients. Mot only are they under
the strictest prison discipline, but they are
forbidden all intercourse, even with coun
sel. They see no one, excepting occasional
calls from their wives. Tne defense will
not ask a postponement when the cases
come up on January 10, but it is said that
the prosecutor will request delay, as the ex
amination of the documents alone will re
nuire another month- r
The Bourse was firm at the opening to- I
day, but weakened later when rumors be
came current that M. De Freycinet, Minis
ter of War. was about to resign. Bentes
closed at 97.45. Credit Foncier fell 1& 75
franc. Rumors as to M. De Freycinet's
approaching resignation are numerous this
evening, but it is impossible to trace any of
them to a trustworthy source.
The 3Ialin to-day says that M. Antonin
Proust, one of the members of the Chamber
of Deputies who is threatened with prose
cution because of his connection with the
Panama scandal, is suffering from conges
tion of the brain. The paper adds that his
family refuses to give any information re
garding his condition.
A Denial of Proust's Illness.
The Paris correspondent of the London
JJat7yJWic denies that Antonin Proust is ilL
"He is onlv suffering from the annoyance
caused by the revelations of the Panama
commission," says the correspondent "The
editor of the Qau'oit, which published the
malignant story about Madame Carnot, had
the coolness to-day to call upon that lady
and leave for her a card inscribed 'Avec
regrets respectueur.' M. Denayrousse re-
fuses to fight his object being to drag M.
Baynal before the courts. M. Andrieux
has tried to pick a quarrel with M. Bibot
by demanding an explanation of certain
portions of his last speech in the chamber.
M. Ribot declined to replv except by his
secretary, who merely said that M. Bibot
had referred to M. Andrieux merely in his
public capacity."

Hamburg, Dec. 26. Prince Bismarck
celebrated Christmas eve with his family at
Friedrichsruhe. The Christmas tree, on
which all the presents were hung, was a
gift from a farmer whose land adjoins the
Prince's estate. The Prince's presents from
abroad were opened by the Princess and
hung by her on the tree without his having
seen them. The cards and letters of con
gratulation, which came from every capital
in Europe, filled an enormous basket at the
foot of the tree. All of the family servants
were called in, and each received two pres
ents cue from the Prince and another from
the Princess. Several guests passed the
evening with the family. Prince Bismarck
was in exceptionally good spirit, and made
the bowle for the" company with his own
hands.

A Suspicion That Russia and America Are
Acting In Concert
Losdon, Dec. 26. In speaking of Cap
tain Levion's return from Bering Sea, the
St Petersburg correspondent of the Times
says that the report of this officer's insanity
are unfounded. It is given oat in Levion'i
defense that the crews of the British
sealers seized under his direction were
fairly treated aboard his vessel. All the
abuse complained nf is said to have come
from the Bussian officials at Petropaulovski.
The English case has been presented at the
Bussian Foreign Office, and the probability
is, savs tne correspondent, that England
will take America's view of the matter,
maintaining that Bering Seais bmaredavsum,
in which case matters may drag along for
some time to come. "In "fact," continues
the correspondent, "there is strong ground
to suspect collusion between Eussia and
America in this affair. Bnssia can not and
presumably does not intend to claim ex
clusive rights in the waters where these
vessels were captured."

FOSTER FEARS NO PANIC.
The Secretary or the Treasury Says There
Is No Danger Threatens Eanklng Cir
clesHe Has a Number or Offers but No
Plans for His Future.
New York, Dec 26. Secretary of the
Treasury Charles Foster left for his home
at Fostoria, O., this evening." Before
going he said to a reporter that he hall had
uo conference with bankers here in refer
ence to the export of gold and the condi
tion of the Treasury. When asked ff there
is any danger of a panic, he said: "None at
all. There is no occasion for excitement or
alarm ia banking circles."
"Do you expect to be called upon to issue
any bonds to get gold for the Treasury be
tween now and March 4?"
"No. I don't think it will be necessarv.
In the three weeks during which $12,000,000
hare been sent abroad, all of which was
taken from the Treasury, X have the offset
of 3,000,000 accumulation. The gold in'the
Treasury, when the big shipments began,
amounted to $125,000,000. To-day, it
amounts to $121,000,000. While I have not
made any promises to get any more gold in
the Treasury on March 4 than $120,000,000. 1
believe the shipments of gold to Europe will
be lighter during the next two months and
that it is within the possibilities of the sit
uation to leave $125,000,000 for my succes
sor to control. While I shall not utilize
the provisions of the resumption act of 1875,
which went into effect January 1, 1879,
there is no doubt among the legal counselors
ot the Government that the Secretary of
the Treasury is empowered under this law
to sell coin bonds to secure gold whenever
it becomes necessary to maintain resump
tion. The maintenance of the credit of the
Government has always been thought best
subserved by paying bonds in gold, and
that will nndoubtedly continue the
custom."
Mr. Foster has had a great many invita
tions to go into business enterprises on the
expiration of his service as Secretary of the
Treasury on March 4, but he has not yet,
decided what he will do. "Come to think
of it," he remarked recently to his secre
tary, "I needn't do anything if I don't
want to."
The presidency of several national banks
has been offered the Secretary, and it is
quite probable he will accept one of them,
out he has taken no action in this direction
as yet

INTEBESTING RESULTS OP EXPERIMENTS
New York, Dec 26. Dr. Paul Gibier,
President of the New YorK Bacteriological
Society and director of the Pasteur In
stitute, read an interesting and important
paper' before the Medical Society of the
county of New York, at tbe Academy ot
Medicine in West Forty-third street, to
night, on 'A New Agent in the Treatment
of Epilepsy." In it he tells the results of
a scientific treatment, which be has applied
to a class of patients for the first time in
this country or elsewhere. The treatment
is in line with that which has excited Inter
est in scientific medical circles in France,
and Is a step in advance of the method em
ployed fn ,a somewhat similar treatment in
Paris.
The material used is prepared from the
vital organs of the sheep, after it has un
dergone certain treatment in the laboratory
of the Pasteur Institute. The injections
were made daily in each side of tbe patient
Just above the hip bone. Dr. Gibirr said
that some two years ago an account was
published in the French medical journals
of an epileptic patient, treated at the Pas
teur Institute in Paris, for the bite of a
mad dog, who was cured of his epilepsy by
the anti-rablc injections. More recently
other accounts of the euro of epileptics by
injections of the rabie virus had been pub
lished and public interest had been aroused
in the new treatment
Jumped at a Possible Cure.
Before -an opportunity was offered to
competent critics to examine the remedy,
or the statements of patients who were sup
posed to be cured, and also without waiting
for the test of time as to the reliability of
the treatment it was widely accepted and
more than one hypothesis of its mode of
action was proposed. Dr. Gibier said that
one observation at least was established,
and that was that some patients had their
seizures checked, at least temporarily, after
the injections of the anti-rabic virus.
After some remarks upon tbe rationale of
the cure and the normal functions of the
nervous system restored, Dr. Gibier said
that he haJ been enabled, by the courtesy
of Charles L. Dana, Visiting Physician at
Bellevue Hospital, to make a number of
observations extending over six months of
the effect of anti-rablc inoculation upon
persons afflicted with epilepsy. He said
that one of these patients furnished him
with an observation which seemed to show
that as far as a cure for epilepsy is con
cerned we cannot expect much from the
Pasteur injections. The patient, a man of
32 years, an epileptio from infancy, had
been treated with the anti-rabic injections
for 18 davs in the intensive form, and not
only did 'the epileptic convulsions continue
but they increased in numbers.
Sot Surprised at Fal'nre.
Dr. Gibier said lie was not surprised at
this failure, inasmuch as he had learned in
directly that the cause of the untimely an
nouncement of the cure of epilepsy by the
anti-rabic inoculations was due to the fact
that this disease had been temporarily
stopped, during and after the inoculations,
in two young e "'eptics who had been bit
ten by mad dogs and treated at the Paris
Pasteur Institute. Dr. Gibier ascertained
that in the injections given at the Pasteur
Institute, by which temporary relief seemed
to have been afforded to some epileptic
patients, the Tabic virus was not injected
alone, but association with a large amount
of nervous substance, and therefore it oc
curred to him that if any benefit had been
derived from these injections, it might be
attributed to the nervous matter and not to
the contained vims. Consequently he de
termined to test the treatment with the in
jection of gray nervous substance, which he
called nervine The fluid was prepared ac
cording to the strictest rules ot bacteriology
and in order to avoid fatal accidents it was
made perfectly aseptic The doctor said
that the 'idea of the new treatment was
derived from the method proposed br Dr.
Brown-Sequard, who thinks that fluids ex
tracted from young and healthy organs can
give to those which are abnormal aud genile
the attributes of youth and health.
A Frrnchman Getting Welt
Dr. Gibier then gave an account of the
results he had obtained with the use of his
nervine in cases of epilepsy. In reference
to the case f a young Frenchman who be
longs to a family with an epileptic history,
Dr. Gibier said:
.Befoie being subjected to this treatment
bo was almost continually in a 'state of
epileptio vertigo, losing consciousness
momentarily several times daily; be had a
persistent headache and a very severe
seizure at least once weekly. His memory
and bis mental powers were decreasing
steadily, and bis face bad a very ldiotlo ex
pression. He bad been subjected to various
forms of treatment without much Improve
ment. Under the lnflnence of the
injection, administered live times
weekly, and without any other remedy, his
condition improved remaraDly. The severe
attacks diminished in number and gravity,
he reoovered consciousness very rapidly
after the seizures, without persistent head
ache, and bis memory became brighter. His
expression disappeared and be was more in
telligent. One of tl'e most interesting re
sults as tbe disappearance of tbevertiso,
which is only presont when tbe treatment is
interrupted. Instead of four or nvo violent
attacks in the period of amontb. he was ono
month and a half without any symptoms of
rooruus sacer. 'o-any ne receives oniy two
injections oi six cudic centimeters weesiy,
and for two months his Improvement has
been most satisfactory.
A CROSSING WAR.
Two Western Roads T letting and Serious
Results Feared.
Nevada, Mo., Dec 2a The Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Bail way, and the Kansas
City, Nevada and Fort Smith are engaged
in a lively crossing war which threatens to
mult seriously. Tbe seat of war is 12 miles
west of here where the Kansas City road
seeks to build a crossing over the M.", K. &
T. tracks and a legal controversy over the
crossing has been going on for sometime.
Saturday the Kansas Citv officials ob
tained an injunction restraining theM.,K.&
T. from interfering with tbe former road in
its attempt to build the crossing aud to-day
the work of constructing tbe crossing was
begun. The M., K. & TL had relaxed their
watchfulness on account of to-day being a
holiday and it was noon before the news
reached here that the crossing was being
started..
When the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
learned what was being done they sent a
special train, carrying 50 men, some of them
armed, under the command of Division Su
perintendent Lyons and Boadmaster Bock
well to the 'scene. The train arrived just as
the crossing was being completed. Super
intendent Lyons took in the situation, and

The Kansas City people fastened rope,

A HORRIBLE SIGHT.
The Discovery Made by a Massachusetts
Preacher Parishioners the Victims of a
Tragedy A Man Commits Tilple Mur
der and Suicides.
Wokcesteb, Mass., Dec 26. A horri
ble triple murder and suicide was discov
ered at noon to-day in the upper flat of a
tenement building at 31 Talntor street
Henry a "Varnum and his little adopted
daughter Florence wer8 found dead, his
wife was nearly dead when discovered and
died on tbe way to the hospital, and Mrs.
Wright, the mother ot Mrs. Varnum, now
lies-at the hospital in a critical condition,
unable as yet to talk or indicate in any way
the story of the awful event
Henry C Varnum came to this citv from.
Haron, Vt, in September, and sought em
ployment as a machinist, which he found in
the shop of L. L. Pollard. He then hired
tbe tenement on Taintor street and sent for
his family, which consisted of hiswife, an
adopted daughter, Florence, and his wife's
mother, Mrs. Wriirht. The family lived
quletlv and to all appearances happily.
Mrs. Varnum was a regular attendant at
the Congregational Church, where she sang
in the choir. Her husband and little
daughter often accompanied her. Mrs.
Varnum was not present at any of the
church services Sunday, and the pastor,
Bev. E. W. Phillips, remarked the absence
and expressed much surprise, saying that
Mrs. Varnum was not the sort of a woman
to stay at home because it was cold.
He made an investigation and found the
evidences ot tbe tragedy.
The weapon with which the foul deed was
committed was an iron door hanger, an iron
strap about 15 inches long headed by a
cylindrical JcnoD. xne instrument weigucu
fully four pounds. Varnum himself was
killed by a stab from a knife identified as
his own. He was cut iu the region of the
heart There were no other marks upon
bis body.
Medical Examiner Keefe, who examined
.the bodies, says that the deed was done
early Sunday morning. Tbe bodies of the
man and child when found were stiff, and
water in the kitchen was frozen. There
was no sign of violence about the house out
side of the bedrooms. Mrs. F. F. Hall,
who lives in the tenement below, says that
she heard a slight sound from the child at
about 5 o'clock Sunday morning, and a mo
ment later the sound of footsteps. The
noises ceased immediately and she thought
nothing of them.
ELECTION RETURNS GONE.
Despite the Fact That Two Policemen
Constantly Guarded Them, Long Island
City's Figures Are Not Intact Mayor
Gleason Doesn't like the Appearance
of Things.
Long Island Citt, L. L, Dec 26.
Assistant City Clerk Hayes, in compliance
with the order Issued by Justice Bartlett,
in Brooklyn, on Saturday, compelling him
to return the election returns of the last
election to the election inspectors for cor
rection, went to the 'City Clerk's office this
morning and lound that some of the re
turns were missing. Mr. Hayes at once
went to the police station to report the
matter. There have been two policemen on
guard in the City Clerk's office since elec
tion. They declare positively that none of
tbe returns are missing. They say that no
one has been to the sate since City Clerk
Burke disappeared.
Assistant City Clerk Hayes returned
from the police station with some officers,
and then made a thorough search of tbe
safe He found that all of the returns were
missing. Policemen Cameron and Conroy,
the two officers who were guarding the safe,
still say that no one was at the safe while
thev were on duty.
Mayor Gleason was seen this morning.
When told of the disappearance of the re
turns, he said: "No one had a combination
to the safe but City Clerk Burke aud As
sistant City Clerk Hayes. I don't want the
office of Mayor, and shall not take it unless
I am fairly elected. If the returns are
missing I know nothing about them. Two
policemen had been on duty in the office all
tbe time, and I don't see bow the returns
could be stolen unless taken before the
officers were placed on duty in the office."
Assistant City Clerk Hayes then started
for Brooklyn to tell Justice Bartlett about
the disappearance of the returns. There
was great excitement in Long Island City
as soon as it became known that the re
turns were missing.

JOHN L. GOING CRAZY.
So Say Some or Bis Late Sporting Friends
Acting Very Peculiar Wants Another
Chance to Fight The Big Fellow on a
Drunk in Keif Tork.
New York, Dec 2& Jim Corbetfs
angry reply to John L. Sullivan's allega
tion that he had been drugged and duped in
New Orleans when he fought the Colifor
nian has apparently roused the ire of
"Sully" and in consequence tbe latter has
been imbibing in drink at a dizzy rate to
soothe his auger all day. The ex-champion,
immediately after leaving his bedroom In
the Vanderbilt Hotel late this morning,
proceeded to the barroom on the ground floor
and made the bartender mix him up all
sorts of fancy drinks. It was plainly evi
dent to Proprietor Matt Ciune that Sulli
van was laying foundations for another of
his famous "jags" and he anticipated
trouble. He endeavored to persuade the
great modern Hercules to desist and return
to his room, but in every effort met with a
vicious rebuke.
Sullivan kept drinking until late in the
afternoon, when he had accomplished his
craving desire to "get good and full" He
was then in genuine, fighting humor. He
cursed evetvone about him and made sev
eral successful attempts in clearing out tbe
place. Jack Ashton. his sparring-partner
and friend, was called in to try and subdue
the heartbroken fighter, but his eflorts were
met with a curse, and in quicker time than
it takes to tell Ashton made himself scarce,
as likewise did tne otner occupants
of the barroom. "I'll kill you if you
come near me," he said, in a storm of rage,
and then began to cry over his crushing
defeat. He continued: "Corbett licked
me when I wa? a phisical wreck, and the
shadow ot John L. Sullivan ot six years
ago. I have been wronged and treated dirty
because my good nature permitted It Give
me another chancel give me another chance,
