BERLIN, Dec. 20.-The number OF

Four suffering from advanced phthisis

Gerhardt expressed satisfaction with the
remedy and confirms Koch's experience
that il is most useful in the initial stage
OF the disease. DR.. Gutman has four
cases that have been absolutely cured OF
pulmonary phthisis, the lymph having
been taken at an early stage. Professor
Leyden reports that Of l27 patients treated
at the charity hospital, the general re-
suits are promising, and there has been
no mishap in any instance.
In contrast 10 these the Cologne Gdzctts
records the death OF a patient confined TO
the care of DIR. Libberiz by Koch and who
received the first injection from Koch.
Professor Leyden admonishes the doctors
to use the utmost caution, as injections
affect the heart strongly. All deaths fol-
lowing the injection have been caused by
the heart being affected.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Czar Reed evil
IDENTIFY has designs upon Montana. When
immed lately after the November election
he was reported TO have said that Carter
owed his defeat 10 the feeling in his state
against the stealing by the republicans Of
two senators, and appeared To have been
speaking generally about political affairs
in Montana as II he did not entertain any
very profound respec: for the people out
that way, nobody expressed any surprise,
for Reed could not be expected 10 speak
with admiration of any state that would
give democratic majority. Since then,
however, be has heard about the
rumpus that his remarks created, and he
has repeatedly been at Garter TO set him
right. For a fortnight Carter has been
reading the controversy about wha, Reed
said at Portland, and he has been worry
ing to find a way TO clear the matter up.
Al last, to-day, he has procured from Reed
a statement written by the speaker him
self in which he declares that he did not
utter the disparaging remarks about
Montana that has been attributed to him.
Thetardy statement wiiha report from the
Western Union manager that no tele-
graphic correspondence passed between
Montana correspondent and Reed at the
the time il was said TO have occurred has
been sent TO the Helena Journal and is
supposed TO exculpate Reed entirely. The
whole business appears TO have been nee
essary to clear up Reed before Montana.
Carter was not deeply involved, The
correspondent who sent the dispatch, and
who unquestionably believed il 10 be a
true report Of what Reed said about the
Montana election, will probably be
abundantly able TO protect himself. The
word Telegram" may have been used too
recklessly, but that Reed talked with
a friend about as he is reported TO have
talked, may be shown II the controversy
between the papers most interested is
pursued.

Hart went in to do Stone up in few
