PARIS, Nov. Elm the Chamber to-day
during debate on foreign estimates, De-

the African convention with England. He
advocated an alliance with Russia on the
ground that the interests of France were
Identical with those of Russia.
Ribot. Minister of Foreign Affairs declared
that France was peaceably inclined and

she did not conceal the fact that she was

With reference to the British occupation of
Egypt he asked if any one could suggest
practical means of obtaining the immediate
evacuation of the country. France must

The proposal to reject the credit for an

vote of 317 to 205.
When the estimates for the War Depart
ment came up, Cochery, on behalf of the
common war estimates, said that every pos
sible economy had been effected. Notwith-
standing the greater forces of France the Or
dlnary war expenditures amounted to 510, ,000,-
600 francs, while Germauy's was 100000. COO,
and the extra expenditures of France
amounted to only 0S,000,000 francs against
Germany's $4,000. COO. Germany took the
Initiative in increasing her military strength,
and France was obliged to follow. The
Government was not responsible for the
state Of affairs which was injuring the
economic interests of Europe. Probably
within few years fresh expenses must be
borne by France in order to maintain her
military power, but ne was sure the Cham
Der would grant everything necessary to in-
sure the country's moral and material great
ness. Cochery's remarks were received
with great applause.

KOCHS CONSUMPTION CURE.

the Benefit Of Humanity.
BERLIN, Nov. 6.-The discovery by Pro-
fessor Koch of the Berlin University of
method for the cure of consumption by in
oculation with attenuated tubercular bacil-
lus is still exciting the greatest interest
among the medical profession and laymen.
The National Zeitung says it is probable a
motion will be introduced in the Prussian
Diet looking to the establishment of Bac-
THEOLOGICAL Institute, which will be under
the direction of Professor Koch. Emperor
William is deeply interested in the discoy-
cry, and receives frequent reports from Pro-
fessor Koch regarding the progress he is
making in his experiments. The Professor
declares he is not desirous OF deriving any
material or personal advantage from his dis
covery. He says he will make public his
method for the benefit of humanity.
Professor Koch is making experiments at
the present tune In Professor Senator'S
wards Of the Charity Hospital in this city
on eight slight cases of consumption.
From reliable source reporter learns
that the great difference between the lymph
used to fight smallpox and that used in the
battle against consumption is that Professor
Koch :inocniates only persons who are al
ready stricken with phthtis. This fact
proves it is not preventive, as the small
pox lymph is.
Professor Koch will announce his inven-
tion by means of an illustrated lecture,
which will be delivered before the
Medical Society some time within the next
six weeks. The statement that the lymph
contains metallic substances has been cor
roborated.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Tbe Herald's Berlin
correspondent says that Emperor William
has recommended to the Landtag vote of
100000 marks to Professor Koch for his
services to suffering humanity. For his
services indiscovering the cholera comma mi
