intensely interested in the fact which he's re.
Gently come to our knowledge, of the deternli-
nation of Chang and Eng, the Siamese twins
to submit to q surgical operation for the pur-
pose of discovering the wonderful link that has
years ago these twins were introduced to the
notice of the civilized world, having been
brought to England from Siam In the year 1927
or 1928, by Captain Bunker, at present living in
New York, and for series of years they were
exhibited to the public at all the great centres of
civilization. Having visited America, they de-
termined to make this land their home They
bought valuable tract of land in North Caro-
lima married two sisters and settled down in the
ordinary routine of farmers daily life. Each
of them is now the father of nine children. The
reason for their determination, at this late day,
to cs II in the art of surgery to produce entire
physical separation, is, that having reached
such an advanced age uifty nine years. they are
ease which may prove fatal to both. The inte-
resting question arises, What are the prOba-
bilities of q successful operation being per-
formed? 1t will be remembered in pursuing
these inquiries that the twins are held together
by quite a massive link OF thoroughly
ment some ten or twelve inches in clrcum-
ference, situated near the vital organs, aud in
close proximity to the heart and lungs; and the
connection is SO intimate that each seems to be
thoroughly an organized portion of the other,
as much so as any of the ordinary members OF
a naturally constituted human body, Sensa-
tion. nervous impression, mental phenomena,
morbid, physical, and nervo-mental conditions,
all show most perfect psychcal unity in this
wonderful dual physical existence. The ques-
tion in regard to the result of an operation is
new one, but soon after their first appearance
in London and Paris 1t excited the minds of the
foremost intellects in the surgical world. If We
rememberTightly the Twins" were exhibited
before the Academy Of Physicians and Surgeons
in Paris at that time for the purpose of ascer-
taining their opinion in regard to the proba.
bilities of a successful operation, The disagree
ment in regard thereto we believe led to the
abandonment of the project. Has the science
of surgery 80 rapidly advanced that to-day
successful results can be promised when there
was so much doubt o score or two of years ago Z?
We understand they contemplate visiting Paris

WASHINGTON. July 3.-rhe House whisky,
tobacco, and bank tax bill was to-day reported
from the Senate Committee on Finance, with
numerous amendments. The sections relating
changes are proposed In the taxes on whisky
and tobacco. The time for taking spirits from
bonded warehouses is extended from six to
twelve months. The House provision for the
expectation of alcohol and rum is stricken out,
and q new section substituted requiring the
payment Of the draw back at the time of shi o.
ment, after clearance, the bonds TO be retained
until 1T is actually shown that the alcohol or
rum bas actually arrived at the place of desti-
nation, the certificate of the Consul being re-
quired for that purpose. The license taxes on
wholesale dealers and retailers are stricken out,
tp ps leaving in force the eXistin laws.
The use OF bonded warehouses at the manu-
factories of tobacco is regulated so that tobacco
cannot be removed from the place of manufac
ture until the tax is paid. 1t is also provided
that 1t shall be removed at once from the export
warehouse TO which 1t is first sent. According
to the House bill, tobacco may be sent from
the mandatory to an export warehouse only
to be exported, but the Senate amendment pro
vides that If the manufactut er does not choose
to export 1t he can withdraw IL for home
market Another amendment changes the
number of Inspectors to twenty, and the
Com I'M ssioner Of Internal Revenue Is to desig
nate their territorial districts. (The House bill
provides for sixty Inspectors, or one for each
judicial disrict) The Senate report provides fol-
fifty special agents, to be employed during the
