GRAND ARMY M ATTERS.
w. III. Upham ana j. III. MarstOn Candi-
dates for Commander.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 29.-The annual en-
campment of the department of Wiscon-
sin, G. A. R., will not be held until next
March, but there is already more or less
gossip about the election to be held then
1t is not customary to elect a department
commander to a second term, though it
has been done In one or two in
stances, and Gen. Bryant is not
likely to be a candidate for
reelection. Among the prominent
men in the order mentioned as possible
successors to the commander are Maj. w.
H. Upham, of Marshield, and Capt. J. Il.
Marston, of Appleton. Unless something
comes up between this time and the date
of the encampment, there will be no very
important business to transact outside Of
the election
On December 18th E. r. Stillman COM
mander of E. B. Wolcott Post, A. G.
Weissert, past department commander,
and Col. E. B. Gray, assistant adjutant
general of the Wisconsin G. A. r.,
will go to Medford Mass, to pre-
sent to the Medford post the stand of
colors intended by Wolcott post as arecog-
milton of the generous hospitality extended
by the Massachusetts men during the Bos-
ton encampment last summer. The stand
of colors is the finest that could be secured
and is valued at S100
Col. Gray has gone to Prairie du Sac to
inspect the post there and attend camp
fire this evening. Next week he will in
spect the posts at Madison and Elroy.

CONTROLLED BY THE STATE
DR.. KOch's Lymph Will Probably
Bear the Stamp of Prussia
Upon 1t For Some Time.
Foreign Medical Men are Much Dis
appointed at the Attitude of
the Government.
Minister Salisbury is Expected to
Meet the Representative of he
Driebund at Berlin.

BERLIN, Nov. 29.-In the diet TO-DAY
Minister Vongossler, replying to in repel-
latlons SAID that the aspersions cast upon
certain physicians engaged in using the
Notch lymph proved groundless. Care
had been taken, he said, to make the
remedy perfectly accessible to the Door.
In course or time a preparation of the
lymph will be entrusted to competent per-
sons employed by the state There was no
good ground yet to hope that the remedy
found would be eficacious in the treat
ment of other diseases than tuburcosis.
A private gentleman had given one million
marks to be used for the benefit of DOOR
persons suffering from tuberculosis. Re
gardlng the question of placing the man.
ufacture of the lymph under exclusive con-
troll of the state, DR.. Won Gossler
thought a feeling of satisfaction would be
experienced throughout the world if Prus-
STA should set her stamp upon the lymph.
The government would eventually invite
other nations to send representatives to
study the use of the remedy in order
that they may apply it in their
own countries. The ministerial statement,
that it intended a prolonged guarding of
the secret of the lymph, greatly dlsap-
points foreign medical men here. Won
Gossler said that secrecy was neces sary to
render limitation impossible.
Since the Parnell Developments have
shattered Gladstone's chances of return to
power, report is current here that Lord
Salisbury will come to Berlin on a visit.
This is believed to imply meeting be-
tween Caprivi, Kalkony, Crispi and Sails
bury, and a more open adhesion by the
English government to the policy of the
Dreibund. The extinction of Gladstone
is the most grateful news that Emperor
William and his circle have ever heard
from England.
The first bill to come before the reichstag
Tuesday will be one for the raising of the
revenue on sugar from $4,000 900 to 93,-
900, 900 marks-to be effected by abolish
ing the tariff on raw sugar and increasing
the duty ON refined The bill say that the
export bounty system has cost the Ger
man consumers thirty-one and a half
million marks annually, nineteen and
half millions of which was cash paid in
bounties and the remainder an additional
cost to consumers. The reichstag will be
asked for fifty million marks for the army,
partly to provide for new ammunition and
partly to alter the coiors of uniforms
Henceforth no glitter of head-piece or
arms will ne permitted, somber uniform
is necessary.

FRANCE ON THE TARIFF.
Minister Roche Objects to Raising the
Duty OH Pork. Etc.

PARIS, Nov. 29.-The defeat of the
government yesterday in the chambers on
the question of taking up tie loan discus
sion before the budget was considered by
the minority today. They decided that
it ought not to affect Minister Rouvier' s
position. The government tariff PROPOSE
ton, proposed duty of twelve francs per
double hundred weight on all kinds of
salt meat The tariff subcommittee has
made a new classification imposing duty
of thirty francs on sausages and other pre-
served meats ar fifteen francs on hams,
beacon and lard
Minister of Commerce Roche informed
the committee that the government per :
sisted in the demand for IL franc duty
as low tariff is indispensable in order to
procure from the United States modifca-
tion of the Mckinley law. He also OBJ
jected to the proposal to increase the tariff
on canned meats, fresh mutton and pork
products The committees report, how
ever, disregards the protests and will be
opposed by the government, the minister
concurring in the opinion that it Is neces-
sary to keep the tariff sufficiently elastic to
make it possible to offer reciprocal advan
tages to the United States.

FIRE IN EAU CLAIRE.
The Large Pulp and Paper Mills Go Up in
Flames.

EAU CLAIRE, Dec. 1.-The Eau Claire
pulp and paper mills and the electric power
house burned at o'clock and were Ill
consumed. They are the largest in the
state. The loss will be very heavy.
The buildings are situated in the moth
ern part of the city, close by the big dam,
which holds the water for the famous
'Dells" pond where 100000 feet of
logs are often stored. The power used III
the mills is taken from the pressure of the
dam. The city depends upon the electric
plant for its street and store lighting. The
pulp mills have been running about eight
years, and are one of the important in
dustries of the city.
The fire was confined to the power
house of the Eau Claire street railway and
electric light company and only the skele-
ton of the building is left. A valuable
electric plant was destroyed and street-car
service is SUSPENDED.
