BERLIN, Nov. 29.-Dr. Won Gossler,
Prussian minister of ecclesiastical affairs,
replying in the lower house of the diet
To-day to the Interpolation OF Herr Graf
rs 10 what measures the Cove rnmeut in
tended to take to promote the adoption
of Professor Koch's remedy, declared
that the aspersions cast upon certain
physicians engaged in using the lymph
had proved groundless. The finance
minister, DR.. Won Gossler said. had
placed at the disposal of Professor Koch
sufficient funds TO enable him to continue
his inquiries aud produce the lymph.
There was now good ground 10 hope that
The remedy would be found eificacious in
the treatment of other diseases than
tuberculosis. Steps had been taken to
make the same perfectly
ACCESSIBLE TO THE POOR.
In the course of time the preparation
of the lymph would be Intrusted 10 COM
peten. persons employed by the state. a
private gentleman had given 200, 900
marks, the minister stated, to be used
for the benefit of poor persons suffering
from tuberculosis. He had requested
Professor Koch to make public only TO a
limited extent the composition of the
lymph so as to render its imitation i'm
possible. Touching the present prepara-
ton OF the lymph. DR.. Won Gossler said
that Professor Koch aud Drs. Lib
hertz ami Pfuht were occupied solely in
providing the supply. After arduous re-
searches extending over period of six
weeks it was found that the lymph could
be supplied at a cost of % marks per
grammes. An ordinary phial contains
sufficient for 5000 NEGOTIATIONS, each
costing pfennig. IN regard to the
question Of placing the manufacture of
the lymph under exclusive control OF the
state, DIR. Won Gossler thought feeling
of satisfaction would be experienced.
throughout the world if Prussia should
SET HER STAMP
upou the lymph. But guarantee
must be given against financial or SUBJ
sldiary conditions. The government
would eventually invite other nations
to send representatives to study the
use of the remedy in order that they
might apply it in their own country.
DR.. Won Gossler's statement, indicating
as it does, All intended prolonged guard
ing of the secret of the lymph, disap-
points the numerous foreign medical
men assembled here. The English
group affirm that 1t is hopeless to expect
their college of physicians TO recog-
niLe the use OF the lymph as it is
against the canons OF the college to per-
nit the application of n remedy, the
composition of which is a secret.
DR.. Kowalski. the leading Austrian
army physician, and chief of the insti-
tute OF bac,eriology at Vienna, defends
the guarding of the preparation of the
lymph on the ground that it is one of the
most powerful medicines discovered and
cannot be applied too cautiously.
Professor Koch says if it were placed
without reserve in the hands of II practl-
TONERS more deaths would result from its
use than ever were caused by consump-
ton.

Of Hess country seat in Silesia.

Since the Parnell developments have
shattered Gladstone's chances of return
to power, report has arisen and ia
credited in diplomatic circles that Lord
Salisbury has accepted an invitation of
the emperor to come to Berlin. The in
vitatiou is OF long standing and its ac-
with Gen. Won Caprivi, Signor Crispi
and Count Kalnoky, and more open ad-
hesiou by the English government to the
policy of the d. eibund.
The extinction of Gladstone is the
most grateful news that the Emperor
William and his circle have ever heard
from England.

abolition of the tariff on raw sugar and
the increase of the duty on refined arti-
