BERLIN. Dec. 6.-The Reichanzeiger gives
passages from Emperor Williams recent
speech on school reform. One point the
Emperor especially emphasizes is, the time
lost in higher public schools in cramming
youths with Latin and Greek instead of the
German language and German history, es-
pecially the growth of German institutions
and the idea of national unity. Modern
history" lie declared. IF rightly taught
would become infinitely more valuable than
the chronicles Of antiquity" How, he asks,
were so many young Germans seduced from
the path of political virtue? How was it
that Germany produced as reformers of
society so many men who are naggiDg at
their own government while commencing
the governments of other nations? 1t was
simple ignorance arising from defective edu-
cation ON the genesis of modern Germany.
The higher schools must mend their methods.
They must make their studies bear upon
practical life, redace the boys bOok-work
and give more time for healthy recreation
and training of the body. The present sys-
tenn tended toward the overprOduction of
highly educated people. Journalists, ne
said, we're high-school products run to seed.
He approved the saying of Bismarck anent
the arbiturienten proletariat, whom he called
"hunger candidates." and from whom the
ranks Of journalism were largely recruited.
forming class dangerous to society.
Finally, he declared lie would not license
any more high schools until their methods
were amended.
The newspapers generally sharply resent
the Emper0r's references to journalists.
The National Gazette says that instead of
their being " hunger candidates, many high
State officials are only too willing to eX-
change their posts for positions on the press
if they can get them.
The latest developments of Koch's dis
covery of cure for diphtheria and te-
tanus have been limited to test expert
ments with animals until YESTERDAY, when
the remedy was applied to several human
subjects through the TRANSMISSION of blood
from animals not susceptible to diphtheria
bacillus or tetanus. 1t was found that the
blood of rats and mice had a destructive
effect on the virus of diphtheria, while the
blood of rabbits, transfussd had similar
effect on tetanus. Before TRANSMISSION, the
blood must be freed from coagulYm aud
otherwise prepared.
Professors Ziemssen and Bauer, in lectur-
ing before the Munich Medical Society, ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to the use of
kOch's lymph in private practice until the
chances of cure are better demonstrated.
A patient in Vienna hospital who was un-
der treatment by the new method died sud-
denly as soon as the reaction following in
oculation set in, and a seventeen-year-old
girl who was inoculated with lymph for
lupus yesterday at Innsbruck died from
paralysis of the heart.

Decision Of Insurance Companies Regarding
the Next California Legislature.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6..-The Commercial
Bulletin says: 1t was discovered yesterday
that large number Of fire insurance COM
panies have made up their minds that the
next legislative session Of California may
come and go, SO far as they are concerned,
without the interference Of any expensive
attorneys for insurance companies. The day
for blood money paid to attorneys to in
fuence the California legislator has gone
by, they think, and If any subscription at
all is gotten up for this purpose it is safe TO
say the majority of the fire insurance COM
panies will not lie 'in it," The ''courtesies"
shown California lawmakers in the past
cost more money than they were worth, and
the companies will take a high moral plane
next season. Nothing is so conducive to
the adoption of high moral plane by insur-
ance companies as the knowledge that they
DID not get the worth of their cash when it
was illicitiy invested

ther declared that the police could not ar
rest him. because he had been so informed

TOPEKA (kans.), Dec. 6.-The Supreme

writ of mandamus applied for by C. E. Lob.

English Physicians Regard Koch's Discovery
With Disirust


LONDON, Dec. 6.-The first enthusiasm
over koch's discovery is distinctly waning.
1t was natural that the French should re-
ceiye any good thing from Germany with
more than suspicion; but English doctors
are now assuming an attitude of pessi-
mism. Koch's methods they admit NAV lie
most useful for diagnosis, but as yet they
cannot conceive them TO be curative nCl
even for lupus, and many doubt whether
they are preventive. The truth is that
Koch has been compelled by circumstances
discoveries before he was himself aware of
their extent. There is not shadow OF
Jealousy among the faculty in Great Britain,
such as there is in Paris. but there is dis
trust and disincllnation to accept Kochs
discoveries as satisfactory till they are
proved by further experiments.
