WOULD PROVE A GOD SEND.
DIR. Robert Koch May Become the Great
est Benefactor of Mankind.

New YORK, Sept. 20.--ln his recent
address at the Berlin medical congress,
DR.. Robert Koch. the eminent bacterloo-
gist, aroused much interest by the an
nouncement that the near future might
witness the development of method for
the prevention and cure of pulmonary
consumption. As reported by the Medical
Record, DR.. Koch said that ''he had not
only succeeded in conierring upon guinea
pigs. which are known to be peculiarly
susceptible to tuberculosis, perfect immun-
ity against the disease, but had also dis
covered means of avertlng the growth and
multiplication of tuhercle bacill after In
oculation.
The promise implied in these words is Of
startling importa &c TO the world. Should
DR.. Koch succeed in perfecting a method
of curing and preventing phthlsis in man,
as ne apparent thinks he has already
done, his discovery will meet with cor
dial recognition Jy the medical profess
sion. For he belongs to the profession in
which the esprit du corps is strong, though
really he is more physicist than q physl-
clan, and more expert in strictly scientific
research than in mere clinical practice
There is happily, therefore, much more
reason to hope that his intimation of a
coming cure for tuberculosis will not
prove disappointing, aud that when pub
lished it will not encounter as much OPP
position from doctors as Pasteur's hydro
phobia Crre. Should the hope thus
awakened be realized even in part DR..
Koch discovery, in its importance to the
human race, will be second to no discovery
of the nineteenth or any other century.
The world will wait with profound inter
est for further tidings from the Germnn
,bvcicist

The Managers Of Western Roads Not in Fa-
vor OF Uniform speed Freight.

CHICAGO. Sept. 22.-The committee ap-
pointed by the recent meeting the mana
gers of the western roads to consider the
question Of uniform speed freight and
passenger trains between Chicago and
western competitive points, does not en-
dorse the proposition to reduce the number
of trains nor does it recon- mend a material
reduction Of speed, but with view to
equalizing the advantage of long and
short lines, it suggests that extra fare
be charged on the fast limited trains. In
regard to the freight service, the
report provides minimum of time for
through trains of ffty-nine hours for ex-
ample, being the minimum between Chi
cago and Denver The general managers
will consider the report next week.
