Imporant NIedlcal DI,covcrv.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 21.-Dr.
Reeves, the eminent microscopic, has
been studying the tissues, livers. and
kidneys of the patients who died with
yellow fever, and discovered a micro-or-
ganism that closely resembles a specific
germ. The micro organism is bacillus,
and nothing like it was ever before
found by DIR. Reeves. The doctor hopes
that the discovery will prove successful
in determining the specific germ of yell
low fever, n that proper culture will
be found for it before the next summer.

G. Whitney, the secretary of the navy,
for an injunction to restrain the defend
ant from depriving him of his right to
suit in a United States court, or placing
him on duty as an officer of the navy in q
degraded rank. The complainant was
an ensign in the Pacific station, and COM
plains that he was tried by court martial

martial was irregular; that he was not
furnished with a copy of the charges
until placed under arrest, and then
u a few hours before the trial, and
that said court sentenced him to be sus-
pended from rank for three years, to be
paid $40 per month, and to be publicly
reprimanded, and the defendant on Oct.
", 1886, assumed to reprimand him.
He insists hat he has not lost his right

ing him in rank, etc.
