BITTERNESS AGAINST BRIGHT.
His Remarks at the Spencer Banquet
Infuriate the Irish.

LONDON, July 26.-If the House of
Lords refuses to adopt the Liberal amend
ment TO the medical relief bill the ma
allow the matter to drop, but will insist
upon the necessity of Parliament dealing
with the measure as an integral
part of the electoral reform. The
Irish party are furious over
Mr.. Bright's remarks at the Spencer
banquet, denOuncing his language as
breach of privilege of the House. Several
members Of the party propose to demand
speech as breach of privilege. This feel
ing is taken as marking "a still wider di-
vergehce, growing into actual enmity, be-
tween the Liberals and Natienalists.

Coast Surveys Reorganization.
WAsHINGTON, July 2G.-The President
seems to think now that he cannot take
his vacation until the middle of August.
If this is done he will prOlong 1t into Sep
tember. Col. Lamont and DIR. Ward. Of
Albany, will go fishing with him. He will
see no one this week except government
officials in order that he may close up
some matters which have engaged his at
tenttOn recently. One is the IndianEques-
ton. He likes the way Gen. Sheridan
handles the Indians. 1t is said that the
solution may be the transfer of the control
of all the Indians to the War Department.
Very few more important appointments
are expected.
THE COAST SURVEY.
1t is now pretty certain that the inves-
tigatiOn of the affairs of the coast and
geodetic survey Will result in thorough
reorganization of the bureau. The COM
mittee is conducting the inquiry with
great thOrOughness, and Will ne able to
report, it is thought, about the last of this
week. 1t may be safely said that none of
the persons suspended from office will be
restored. One of the charges against
Prof. Hilvard is that he has not been for
long time person fit to control Il bu-
reaU OF the government on account Of
any unfortunate habit, and what is
already known of the eXtrayagant uss of
public money by those under suspension
will certainly prevent restoration of
them to duty. The charges, SO far as
known, do not allege any absolute theft
of public money, but include gross nepOt-
ism and remarkable generosity in sala-
ries and perquistes to everybody IN
the service of the survey above a certain
grade. Ever since it's organization the
survey has been close corporation
guarded at every point from any super
vision by any authority except its head.

by the cattle plague. The Times CORE
spondent heard of one place to-day south
Of here where there are over 80 carcasses
dec0mposing in about 20 acres, the
stencil at night being intOlerable. The
police jury have taken steps to-day TO de-
strOy these carcasses. OIL has been
brought for the purpose. IL is said that
two gallons of Oil judiciously used will
consume a carcass. A serious difficulty
I'm the way is to get parties TO execute the
work. A large hardware dealer in this
place said to-day that be had sold num-
ber of gimlets TO people from the country.
Upon inquiry he learned that they were
used for boring holes throHgh the skulls
OF sick horses to let, as they expressed IL,

stock raiser near the place lost a very
valuable blOoded mare to-day. The
afflicted animals manifest the symptoms
Of blind stRggers and die very shortly
after taking the malady. Colts and
calves are Just rs liable to take the dis
ease as Older stock. The number Of car
casses on the prairie is too numerous 10

lost fine breed stallion this week. He
proposes 10 dispose OF all carcasses in his
pastures by burning them, aud has pur-
chased quantity Of oil aud tar for the
purpose. A plague so general and fatal
was never before known IN this section.

Both men were ON their feet in the

ton would not exceed one week. The
subject is then found to be absolutely
proof against the disease.
A boy, IL years of age, named
Meister, who had been bitten fourteen
times, came from Alsace with his
mother to see DIR. Pasteur. The autop-
sy of the dog which had bitten the
boy left no doubt as to its having suf-
Tered from hydrophobia. DR.. Pssteur
took the celebrated DR.. Vulpian and
professor of the school of medicine
to see the boy Meister. These two
doctors came 20 the conclusion that
the boy was doomed to painful death
and might be experimental upon. In
thirteen days inoculstions were made
upon Meister with pieces of spinal
marrow containing virus OF constant
~ increasing strength, the last being
from the spine of a rabbit that died
the day before. Now a hundred days
have passed since Meister underwent
the the last incubation. The treat
ment has been thoroughly successful
and the boy is in perfect health. He
had been bitten sixty hours and had
travelled from Alsace to Paris before
the first incubation was performed.
A shepherd boy named Judith, aged
10, was bitten by mad dog fort
night ago and has now been a week
under treatment. DR.. Pasteur is con-
hdent of curing hin.
DIR. Pasteur said that it was now
necessary to provide an establishment
where rabbits might always be kept
inoculated with the disease. In this
way constant supply of spinal It's
sues of old and recent incubation
would always be ready. Before the
sitting was adjourned DR.. Pasteur res
celvea an enthusiastic ovation, from
both the academy itself and the pub
Tic who were present. Among those
present | noticed the Grand Duke
Alexis, who is a great dog fancier,
and M. de Lesseps, who went to hear
DIR. Pasteur's report iadorsed by DR..
Vulpian.
One of the leading doctors present
remarked that tbe!question was wheth-
er man cured of hydrophohia could
words, whether the incubation of viz
rus was a guarantee against hydro
phobia.
In answer, DR.. Pasteur states that
the malady is transmisslble only by
bite. II, therefore, by general com
pulsory incubation of dogs for sever
al generations, dogs had been made
incapable of hydrophobia, the malady
would have disappeared and there
would be no occasion to ask whether
incubation had a permanent effect or
not. AS to the orr gin of hydrophobia
DR.. Pasteur says nobody in the world
can explain its primal causes. AS he
remarked = perhaps out of politeness
his theory will require study by the
profession, IN order to make it prac-
teal, but he emphatically states that
the cure for hydrophobia has been
found.
