THE KAISER WELCOMED
The Emperor Takes an Interest

The Anniversary of the Ma
tons Independence Cele-
brated in London

LONDON, July ct Is many years since
the visit of foreign sovereign to this
country has excited public interest to
such an extent as has the present visit Of
the kaiser and kaiserin, from the moment
when they set foot on English soil at Port
Victoria today and were welcomed in the
name of the queen. The queen intends
that every possible mark Of honor shall be
paid to her imperial grandson and his
consort. To those who are politically
ignorant, the true significance OF the visit
is not apparent, but all the wide-awake
ones are aware what the visit really por-
tends. 1t is matter of the highest i'm
portance that the English and German
nations, allied as they are by the blood OF
their soverelgns, should maintain un-
broken the existing entente cordiale OF
which the emperor's visit is a sure sign.
Apart altogether from the international
aspect, which the visit OF the German
sovereign naturally calls up, 1t Is pecu-
| liarly interesting from purely personal
| standpoint, as the emperor Is somewhat
heroic figure in a very unheroic age, while

THE RADICAL EMPEROR
The Dethroner of Bismarck Is Popular
in England

LONDON, July 6-There are many com
ments concerning the significance OF the
kaiser's GOODNESS in greeting the Duke OF
Edinburgh on his arrival at Sheernees,
while he showed great cordiality towards
the Prince Of Wales, the Duke OF Con
naught. and the other royalties who were
nn hand to meet him. He conferred only
a formal shake Of the hand upon the
Duke of Edinburgh. IL Is believed that
the EN- peror's treatment OF the duke was
due 10 the suspicion that the latter
nrompted the Duke Of Coburg TO assume
an nnfriendly attitude towards the Ger
man imperial government.
1t is also said that the kaiser attributes
the lukewarmness OF his reception In Rus

and Duchess OF Edinburgh.

NEW AND FATAL DISEASE
A Disease Worse Than La Grippe Has
Made Its Appearance

Los ANGELES, July Ga singular case
is engrossing the attention OF the city
surgeon. Apart from its scientific interest
it opens up the prospect Of new and
fatal disease. The aiilictioL is, in hu-
man subject, very much like that pro-
duced In lower animals by the blow fly.
A day or two ago William Evans, a
rancher, was brought TO the city hospital
with a badly swollen face and nose. lie
showed clearly nervous DrOstratiOn, and
stated that he had had no sleep Tor a
week because OF the torture he was uh-
dergolng. lie complained Of worms bur
rowing into his nose. which member was
i'm an excessively tender state and the
pain was frlghtful. He had tried various
remedies but they only augmented the
evil and the parasites were thriving under
the treatment.
Health officer McGowan recognized the
case as one Of the dreaded myasls OF the
tropics. which Is almost always fatal.
The eggs Of "a fly like the common bluebOt-
tie fly are deposited In the nasal pas
sage during the victims slumbers
and I'm a week or so the eggs develop into
what are commonly called screw worms.
| These creatures burrow along the mucous
| lining of the nose, and Inflammation iol-
| lows.
worms can be killed by injections, but
when they reach the frontal sinus anc
bury themselves, the victims end Is GER
tain.
Instances like this are very rare In thi
country, but they happen occasionally h
| Texas, where a man infected with screw
worms is looked on as in as bad shape "a
liz bitten by mad dog.
Evans has been removed TO the countl
hospital where injections Of chloroiorn
are being tried with antiseptic and cool
ling applications, but his chances for re
coyery are looked on as doubtful.
