KoCH's CURE.
Return Of American Physicians With a Sup

Return Of American Physicians With Sup
rly Of Lymph.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The North German
Lloyd steamer Spree had among her pessen-
gers large number of medical men, who
brought bottles of Koch's lymph back with
them. Mr.. and Mrs. A. Navarro (nee Mary
Ander SOM were also among the passengers.
At a meeting of the New York Medical
Society tonight, DR.. Lindsay, just returned
from Berlin, read an interesting paper Oh
Koch's lymph. He said up to the time Of
his leaving Professor Gerhardt had not dis
charged case as cured in pulmonary
phthisis. The American doctors in Berlin,
however. were astounded at the wonderful
cures of lupus.
The story that Chinese leper was to be
treated with Koch's lymph in private room
OF the Bellevue Hos ital grew out OF the fact
that on his arrival recently from Berlin DR..
Loomis made some inquiries for patients
with leprosy. Nothing was done by him
in the matter, and perhaps nothing will be
done. He asked because no leper had been
treated with koch's lymph, and he thought
the experiment worth trying. AT 10 Pell
street today two Cinnamon said a China
man on the third floor was suffering from lep-
rosy, and no one could see him. He came
from Hawaii.
BERLIN, Dec. 22.-The statement is made
that the German Government will grant
Professor Koch 1000. 600 marks for the priv
ilege of manufacturing Koch lymph. They
will also have large share of the profits
from the manufacture.

derson of Nebraska
it so happened that Senator Manderson
had seen similar certificate few days ago,
in which the name of this same frst-born
son was declared to be Justin Morrill,
Duval, and he likely knew the venerable
Senator from Vermont had torn So from his
salary and sent it to the suffering father in
Baltimore, convinced that if Mrs. Duval
could be the mother of two tirst-born chill
dren she might give birth to a few more. At
the sane time MandeIson Instituted an in
yesti CATION, the result of which caused
much laughter in the Senate to-day. which
was very mystiiying to the galleries until
the story came out.
According to the certificates which have
been uncovered, the following Senators
have been worked: Dolph, Evarts, Hig-
gins. Carlisle, Paddock, Squire, Wolcott,
Edmunds, Sanders, Pettgrew, Power, STAN
ford. Sawyer, Stcckbridge, Blair, Hoar,
Hale, Washburn, Vest and Hiscock. There
are those about the Senate who say there
are several other newly born Duvals, among
them John Sherman Duval, Matthew STAN
ley Quay Duval and Arthur German
Duvai; but the gentlemen thus honored in
sist that they have not been called upon.
1t Is understood that several of the Sem
ators, besides sending So, also sent the little
one silver lug, spoon or some other token.
The Vice-President did not escape; there
is a Levi Morton Duval, and he, or his
father. owns a nice silver cup, appropri-
ately inscribed. 1t is probable that pro-
ceedingS will be instituted against Duval,
Notwithstanding the great size OF his family
and the added disability of a broke leg.

AN INCOMPETENT WITNESS.
Important Ruljrg in Polygamy Gases by the
United States Supr4me Conrt

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-The Supreme
Court of the United States to-day rendered
an important decision in a Mormon poly
gamy case, holding that the wife is not a
competent witness against her husband
where polygamy is the crime charged. Will
lam Z. Bassett, in 1867, was found guilty of
polygamy on the testimony of his first wife,
from whom he was divorced after he took
his second wife. The former Wife's testi-
mony was the only direct evidence produced
and it was upon her testimony that Bassett's
conviction was secured. BE took an appeal
TO the Supreme Court of Utah, contending
that the testimony was not admissible, and
when the Territorial Court decided against
him he brought the case here. The Supreme
Court reverses the decision OF the Territorial
Court, and holds the wife to be an incompe-
tent witness. The case was remanded to
the Utah courts, with directions thatit grant

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-John Young, son
Of Brigham Young, was interviewed here
to-day regarding the announcement from
Lima, Ohio, last night. about scheme for
colonzing Mormons in Mexico. He said
the negotiations for the proposed concessions

troducing the practice OF polygamy in Mex
leo. Furthermore, the terms of concession
do not contine The settlement to Mormons,
but leave it open to all persons of good char
acter. The colonists will be subject to Mex
lean laws. If the negotiations succeed
Young will, under the concession, build 1900

for railroad south of Drming, n. Mex, and
has nothing to do with Mormon colonization.
