count of the meeting of the Illinois Valley Pro
gressive Medical Association:
A quarterly meeting of this association was
held at the Office of A. H. Haitian, NJ. d. in Peru,

introduced by DR.. Clendenen, of this CITY, ana
participated in by nearly all present. Several
clinical cases were introduced, among which was
one of rheumatic neuralgia of the kidneys, ana
| an interesting case of abnormal enlargement OF
the liver and stomach, causing structural lesion
of the heart and comprising the lungs to such
degree as greatly to restrict their action. Also
q case of chronic inflammation of the duodenunl,
causing a constant discharge of water -brash, at.
tended by great general debility. Also case OF
iniudicious pouticing of fclon, resulting IN the
destruction of the tissues of the flesh and mus
| cles Also the use of pcrmanganate OF potash rs
a remedial application for catarrhal discharges,
regarding which DR.. Cook, of this city, mention
ed number of cases of the successful use OF 'hls
remedy after other applications had failed TO pro-
ducc desired results. Remedies for hepistaXcs
(nose .bleedng) were discussed, and hamasnos
was pronounced one of the most speedy ana re
liable At the close of the meeting a number OF
the medical gentlemen present visited chrome
case of thesis permamilus in which the sufferer,
who is an interesting young lady, presents won
derful powers of endurance and tenaclty OF ne.
For period of many months the lower portion
of her lungs has been entirely destroyed, rcsplra-

FOREIGN NEWS.
The Berlin Treaty.

The Berlin treaty seems to be generally &C
ceptable TO Europe, though France and Italy
especially the latter, manifest considerable
jealousy of the increased power IN the Medi
terranean which England obtains by the ac
QUESTION of Cyprus. Italy has dreams OF re
covering part of the naval supremacy In the
Mediterranean she held in the days OF Genoeso
and Venetian splendor which of course is in,
consistent with the present dominant position
there of England
Italy is also jealous of the proposed Aus
trian occupation of Herzegovina and has rails
ed an agitation in favor of Che annexation to
Italy of the Southern Tyrol, though the gov.
eminent disclaims any sympathy with the
movement
The Turks, in obedience to the Berlin treaty
are quietly evacuating Schumla and Varna
but the Russian occupation Of Batoum it is
feared, will be resisted by the Lazis, who have
raised the English colors, and the Russian ar
my of occupation may have fight to get pos
session.

Austria.

The Austrian authorities expect considera.
bic trouble in Herzegovina and Bosnia and are
even prepared to encounter armed resistance
similar to the Rhodcpe instruction. Arrange
ments have been made for the advance of strong
achievements to the frontier and neighboring
garrison towns. The Turks display avery un-
yielding disposition in the negotiations about
occupation.

Tho Moss Case.

At half past one o'clock this after.
noon the case OF the Territory VS.
John Moss. in which Moss is charg
ed with the shooting of Mat Peter
son on the 9Th of last October, was
called. The large courtroom was
filed with anxious spectators, all Of
the space being occupied. Mo 1
looks somewhat wan from his long
confinement, but does not appear to
be disturbed in mind. Peterson APP
pears to have almost wholly recov-
cred from the effects of the wound
received in his lungs. About As
minutes were occupied in empanel-
ing and examining jury. The first
witness called was Mat Peterson
He stated that he saw John Moss in
this city about the 4th of last Octo-
Der, and had some talk with him
about his farm at Snoqualmie, which
he had just sold. The next morn
ing. Oct. 9th, he saw Moss, who said
he was going to Renton on the cars.
Peterson. who was going on horse
back, requested Moss to take his
carpet-sack along as far as Renton.
This Moss agreed to. About one
half mile above Steels' landing he
saw Moss in the road. with the car
pet-sack in his hand, and said: " I
thought you was at Renton long
ago." Moss replied. Yes. but I
got off the cars at Henry Vanas-
selt's." He lPeterson) then tied the
carpet-sack to the saddle, and allow
ed Moss to ride awhile, then got on
the horse agsin. As they were going
down the hill near Black river he
remarked: II think we are near
Black river BRIDGE" YES" said
Moss. Peterson then described the
shooting substantially as it was pub
lished in this paper at the time. We
will not give this portion Of the evi-
dence in full, as we do not wish to
influence public opinion in the case.
Our report of the case ceases with
the testimony of Peterson.

The Judiciary Committee of the
California Assembly have under
consideration bill providing that
silver to the extent of fifty dollars
may be used in the payment of tax
es, gold being now the only legal
tender for State and municipal taxes
in California. The bill was intend
ed to relieve persons Of limited
means from the burden incident to
the purchase of gold when paying
their taxes. Should it pass, the ef-
feet would be seriously felt IN San
Francisco. where one. half of, the as:
sessments do not pay more than $50
each in taxes.
