DlPHTHERIA IN FOWLS.
a Suggestion That tho Human Disease
Might Originate from Poultry.

Might Originate from Poultry.
DR.. Paulinus publishes in the Balle-
tin Medical a report OF an epidemic of
diphtheria occurring in one of the
Grecian isles, which lends considerable
support to the possibility that this dis
case may originate from poultry. For
over thirty years no case of diphtheria
had been seen on the island. Sudden
ly the disease developed, and five fatal
cases occurred In one family. The
epidemic soon spread throughout tho
entire community, thirty-six dying
from the disease. Upon examination
TO discover its source, it was found
that flock Of turkeys had been re-
ceived some three weeks before from
Salonica. Two of the turkeys were
sick on their arrival, and each Of the
others was attacked in succession. DIR.
Paulinus found two of them still sick,
and inspection showed patches Of
pseudo-membrane on the mucous
membrane of the vault OF the palate
and of the pharynx. On detachins
strips of the exudation by ths
forceps, the mucous membrane
beneath was seen TO bleed
slightly The glands of the neck were
swollen, and in one of the fowls the
diphtheritic process had extended TO
the larynx, as was shown by the
hoarseness OF the cry and the difficult
breathing. One Of the turkeys, which
had recovered from the throat affec-
tion, suffered from paralysis OF the
legs, being unable TO walk. The gar
den where the turkeys were was at the
northern extremity of the town, and
the first children attacked were in the
immediate neighborhood; and there
was anorth wind blowing the greater
part of the time, which the doctor be
licves disseminated the germs OF the
disease He concluded from his OK
porience that the diphtheria of the
fowl is similar in It's course and symp-
toms to the disease occurring In man,
and that 1t can be carried from tho one
10 the other. sometimes through the
medium of the air This suggestion
that the human disease might originate
from, or be spread through the agency
OF, chickens or other poultry, has been
noted by other writer's, as well as that
cats or other pets may convey the
poison from enc family TO another

BLAINEs FRIENDS
Fear That his Florence Letter was
Final and Implicit.

WASHINGTON, May 25.
Since my last dispatch telegraphs the Lew
iston Journals Washington correspondent
regarding Mr. Blaine, the republican pres
dential candidacy has assumed new phase.
The belief has been that if unanimously re-
nominated Mr.. Blaine would accept. | have
information this morning that leads me to be-
lieve'that the friends of Mr.. Blaine, who have
regarded his acceptance under unanimous
conditions to be beyond question, have.reck-
oned without sufficient reason. An intimate
friend of Mr.. Blaines who is in position to
know the facts, assures me that the friends
of the Plumed Knight who have endeavored
to induce him to say in private that he would
accept if nominated, in spite of his letter,
have been wholly unsuccessful and that
they are apprehensive that in the event of
his nomination he would wire his
inability to accept the hon
or. One intimate friend of Mr.. Blaine
says the Maine statesman has implored his
friends to stop this movement in his favor,
as he had no desire to head the ticket, that
he cannot afford to do it, at such tax of all
his energies and resources, as such leader
ship involves.
Mr.. Blaine says he will return to the
United States in July, and will take Wig
orous hand in the canvass, and he believes
he can do more for the party in that capacity
with some other candidates, than in any
other.
On the contrary, up to this time, Mr..
Blaine's friends have been able to prevent
any further declarations from him. Says
one Of his friends to your correspondent:
at has been with the greatest difficulty
that Mr.. Blaine has been restrained from
adding to his Florence letter another, declar-
ing that under no circumstances, even if
unanimously renominated, could he accept
the nomination. That he feels
that way is certain; but tina,
contingencies might arise to make
him reconsider, is the hope of his friends.
Rest assured that people who fancy Mr..
Blaine wants to be the candidate, are wholly
in error, and do the Maine statesman the
most grave injustice"
Mr. Blaine's friends continue to urge upon
him that he is the only republican who can
carry New York. Mr.. Blaine is understood
to believe that his friends are in error and il
is hinted that while he is not inclined to name
any mar as his residuary legatee, he believes
that there are several other republicans who
can carry New York. 1t is believed thai
Mr.. Blaine has Depew in mind, among many
others.
The efforts now making to deliver the
Blsine vote to Sherman against Gresham ARE
not likely to be crowned with success.

BURLINGTON STRIKERS
Decide to Make the Question of Surren
der Matter of Local Option.
CHICAGO, NAV "a.

CHICAGO, May "a.
The Tribune this morning says: At a
conference recently held between the chief
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Grand Master Sargent of the firemen, H. ID.
Kennedy, J. Hoge and other representatives
of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy strik-
ers, an arrangement was made by which the
great strike was virtually declared off.
1t was decided to make the question of
surrender or continuance of fight matter of
local option, with separate divisions of the
two brotherhoods to take the mater in their
own hands.
The strike is already declared off at Lin
coin, Neb., Creston, Ia, and several other
western points.
The strikers at Galesburg Aurora, Kansas
City and several of the eastern divisions re-
solved to continue the fight, but it is only a
question of time when they will be forced to
surrender.
This step was forced upon the strikers by
depleted treasury with no possibility of
raising money.
! 1t is not claimed that any special arrange
ment was made with the company, but the
strikers are confident that large percentage
will regain their former places. The strug-
gle was protracted to time when grace
| full surrender was impossible, and the men
simply accept the inevitable.
