IRELAND's POTATO CROP.
E Statement That There Is No Need for Am ri

q 0LaLSLAe4+ 4HdL AAele 10 AND 4sts1 loT All
can Charity.
LONDON, Oct 16.-The most veracious and
authoritative statement which has yet ap-
peared about the alleged Irish famine come
from James II. Tuke. He has bean wOrding
for many years in a practical way to relieve
distress where it exists. His experience
goes back 10 1916, when he was one Of the
workers for the relief of the famine sufferers.
He now says that there is no dan
ger of what is termed famine, that the
area over which a serious failure in the
potato crop exists is limited to few western
counties, and the general condition of the
people in the consested districts renders
them better able to bear the loss-partial or
entire-of tue potato crop than III 1880, and
that the people are not by any means so
dependent on potatoes for their daily food
as formerly, and that they each
year consume larger quantities Of wheat
-four and Indian meal. The potato crop,
except in wet ana boggy lands, is good, and
is selling at moderate prices. With refer
ence to the proposed American charity, Mr.
1Gke says that it would be a serious evil to
let it be supposed that either British or
American generosity was about to be poured
iuto the congested districts. What Is needed
is something 10 stimulate, not to lessen, the
self-reliance of the people.

PARIS. Oct. 1S.-The Chamber of Com

by banquet, at the Hotel de Petersburg,
this evening. The Mckinley tariff law
was the subject under discussion. The
principal question was, Will the tendency of
retaliation in the matter eventually be
preiudicial OF favorable to international
trade? The debate was hot one. The
Mckinley bill was considered unwise, and
not likely to do any good to America.
1t would rather make enemies III foreign
countries for her question of foreign re-
prisais was allowed to lie a difficult one to
answer. 1t was finally decided that the
effect of the bill temporarily would not i'm
prove the condition Of trade and finances
between Europe and European colonies,

change Of friendly feeling between Euro
pean countries by making them more de-
peudeut on one another.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

PARIS, Oct. 1s.-There has been great ex-
citement during the week at Lyons over the
United States tariff law, and Burdeau, the
Lyons Deputy, has given notice that he will,
in the Chamber, demand retaliation for the
increased duties on French goods. He will
especially propose that retalatory duty be
placed on petroleum, and also suggests that
Boards of Inspection be established for the
examination Of all imports from the United
States.
On the other hand, a committee for the de-
Tense of the silk market held a great meet
ing at Lyons, at which the speakers took the
ground that retaliation was likely to do
more harm than good. The President Of the
Chamber Of Commerce called attention to
the fact that the retalatory policy against
Italy has already cost the Lyons market
7,700,O00 francs worth of business and given
Germany industrial supremacy in Italy.
Besides the notable injustice committed by
France and other countries toward America
in the matter of pork had led to conferring
extraordinary powers upon the President ef

Lizzie Cunningham, a young shop girl,
was found unconscious in bed on the
morning of January g. Beside her lay
her friend, Mary Fallon, a seamstress,
dead. The unlighted gas jet was wide
open and the room was full of gas. Miss
Cunningham was taken in comatose
condition to the New York Hospital. She
failed to rally after receiving the usual
treatment, so ON January her physi-
clan decided to try the TRANSMISSION of
blood
In two operations forty ounces of blood,
poisoned by the inhaled gas, had been
drawn from her. Amos L. Lincoln, a big,
healthy telegraph lineman, under treat
ment for a muscular affection of the
arms, volunteered to give the blood
needed to fill her veins About twenty
five ounces were drawn from his right
arm into a basin containing phosphate
of soda, which was intended to keep the
blood from coagulating.
A little rubber pipe terminating in a
glass tube was attached to the bottom
of the vessel, which was elevated several
feet above the girls body. The glass end
of the tube was inserted in the radial
artery in her wrist. and Amos Lincoln's
blood was let into her veins. Miss Cum
ningham remained unconscious until
January 8. She then revived enough to
speak little, bat soon sank back into
Inconsistencies, from which she was re-
vived during the next four days only oc
casionally and with great difficulty.
On the 18th she began to show symp-
toms of improvement, although her body
was totally paralyzed and her mind was
inactive and clouded. The paralysis
continued until February |, when Miss
Cunningham began sitting up in bed and
occasionally leaving it. She continued
to convalesce slowly. and few days ago
was sent home with only a slight halt in
her gait and a general stiffness of her
movements to tell.of her narrow escape
from death. DIR. Robert f. Weir, the at
tending physician, said that despite the
unusual length and strenuousness of her
struggle for life she was just about as
sound as ever in mind and body-Nea0

Mr.. A. M. Howson. The instrumental
part of the music was delightfully."- rem

good. The feature of the occasion,
which drew a large crowd, was the ad-

dria, who was in the city attending the
exercises and preaching the Commence
ment Sermon of Wesleyan Female In

of the meeting was the relation of bust

the basis of his remarks 1.-THE Cloak l

beautiful, forceful and instructive ad-
dress.
