PASSING OF THE LYMPH.
The Hope of Consumptives In Its Enicacy
Fading Away.

PHILADELPHIA, May 16.--In all the
hospitals of the city the use of the
Koch lymph has been practically dis
continued. Where there is no absolute
discontiuuance of the toxic agent, it is
only being experimental with in a few
selected cases Even in these special
cases the treatment of the lymph Is be-
coming narrower and narrower in
scope. Resident physicians of the
hospital say the fluid has proved to be
of such small value that, together with
the great danger attached to expert
mentation, there is no reasonable es-
cape from abandoning it At the home
for consumptives, at Chestnut Hill, and
also at the male branch of that institu-
ton, All Spruce street, the Koch lymph
has been superseded by new treat
ment DIR. William M. Angney, visiting
physician of both institutions, says that
the lymph has failed utterly, save in a
single case. The cure of that patient
is so uncertain, however, that no good
has come from the experiments. The
new treatment that DIR. Angney has in
stituted is one advocated by two Detroit
physicians 1t consists of inhalation of
chlorine and hypodermic medication by
chloride of gold and soda and a solution
of iodine. The value of this new treat
ment has not yet been determined.
At the jefferson hospital experiments
with the celebrated German physicians
fluid have been brought to close. 1t
is known that DIR. Da Costa considered
the remedy too dangerous for expert
ment, because there was no certain
knowledge as to its best use. DIR. j.
William White says the fluid is being
used at the University hospital in Sc
lected cases. The experiments, he
added, were being confined to narrower
fields steadily. The same. statement is
given by the physicians at the Ger
man hospital In the rest of the hospi-
tails, where there have been but few
experiments, the lymph has almost be-
come stranger. 1t has leaked out
that the tuberculosis commission of the
veterinary department of the university
of Pennsylvania has abandoned its ex-
periments with Koch lymph, and ma
jority of the members of the commis-
sion are of the opinion that both as a
curative and diagnostic agent the fluid
is yalueless,

The WAR IN CHILL.
The Government Troops Defeated Bar
barity of the victors.


PANAMA, May 16.-The recent en-
gagements in Chill are thus described
by the Nacion and others of the Gillian
government organs: "The Robles,

ed juncture and after cutting and
tearing up a portion of the Pisagua
railway, took up position on the Sc
bastopol hill, which commands the nj
trate works, the wator and the railway.
Canto, with his army, took up a posi-
ton at Molle station, Iquique.
After some accommodating on both
sides Robles abandoned his advant-
ageous position on Sebastopol hill
and posted his army on the plain at
Pozo Almonte, first of all tearing up
the railway in his rear. The damage
was, however, promptly repaired by
Canto's army, and he followed up
Robles and gave him battle on the 7th
inst, and after a stubborn and san
culinary encounter of five hours dura-
ton the government forces were COM
pletely defeated and routed
"CoL Robles was wounded in foot
early in the fight, but after the injured
limb had been dressed by DIR. Middle
ton he remounted his horse and re-
sumed command. Toward the close of
the fight he was shot in the side, but
he continued to cheer and lead his men
in repeated desperate charges until,
faint from loss of blood, he fell from
his horse and was carried to the am
bulance. Here he was again attended
to by DIR. Middleton.
"By that time the defeat of the gov
ernment troops was complete, and
major compelled DR.. Middleton to with
draw from the ambulance and ordered
his men to shoot Col Robles. After re-
ceiving eleven bullets, they inflicted
upon him numerous bayonet wounds,
the hands of the unfortunate man be-
ing cut to pieces in the efforts he made
to protect his body from the thrusts.
All other officers in the ambulance
were killed. Col. Mendez of the Fifth

of the fight, as were also Col Jarpa

The Demand For Gold Attracting the At

Yet Ready For War.
BERLIN, May I6.-The heavy imports
of American gold in Europe In general
and Germany in particular have drawn
the attention of financiers in Germany
to the matter. Herr Bleichroder, the
well known banker who shares the
Rothschilds' financial power on the
continent of Europe, in an interview on
the subject to-day said .
y 'All the gold coming here from En-
gland or from France is shipped to
Russia, which country has been drain
ing heavily from Berlin and still heav-
ier from London. In order to protect
the Bank of England and so as not to
decline its reserves American gold
was called for, but this was an unprof-
liable transaction. The gold was
bought at loss, it is true, but we are
willing to sacrifice something. Had
the Russian demand been met by the
withdrawal of gold from London
and Berlin the rate of discount in
banks of these cities must have risen 6
or per cent Under the present state
of affairs this would simply mean ruin
to thousands. We avoided it by buying
American gold"

question, 'Is she preparing for warp

ON SCHEDULE TIME.

The President and Party Complete Sue
cessfulIy Arranged Tour of Over .
Month. a
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The president
and party arrived in Washington at $50
o'clock last evening exactly on schedule
time. When the train was nearing the
national capital and the journey was
almost at an end the president sum-
moned to the observation car every per-
son who had accompanied him on the
trip, including the ladies and all the
employees of the railroad and the Pull
man Car Co., and made them a short
address. He said he found that he had
made Just 139 speeches since they left
Washington on the 14th of April last,
and he thought this good occasion to
make the number a round lao.
He then referred to the unprecedent-
ed excellence and perfection of the rail-
road service throughout the entire trip,
and said that fact that they had been
able to travel over $1,000 miles of ter
ritory in splendidly equipped train
without an accident or mishap of any
kind and without one minutes varia-
ton from the pre-arranged schedule
must always be regarded as most re-
markable achievement He said that
Mr.. George w. Boyd, of the Pennsyl-
vania road was entitled to great
credit for his excellent manage
ment of the trip. and he added
that it was superb exhibition
of what training, energy and intelli-
gence resulted for a man. He then re-
turned his thanks individually to the
conductors, the engineer and firemen,
the chef and his assistants, the brake
men, the walters and porters, and in
fact every person who had rendered
service to the party ON the trip.

BEGGARY IN EUROPE.

Hundreds of Starving Families and Dis
tress From Strikes and Other Causes.
LONDON, May 16.-A Berlin dispatch
says that the workmen dismissed from
employment at Bielitz, Silesia, for
leaving work without permission on
May day assembled yesterday to the
number of several thousand and de-
manded to be put back to work. This
the employers refused, whereupon
many of the working people became
demonstrative and riot being appre-
hended the garrison was called out
The people, however, dispersed with
out doing any violence.
Vienna advices state that at Pesth,
Hungary, hundreds of families of work
ingmen are without shelter, having
been turned on the street for non-pay-
ment of rent.
The land owners in Hungary are
forming combinations with a pledge
not to employ nor to allow their tenants
to employ any laborers who take part
in labor agitations. AS consequence
many of the laboring classes are pre-
pairing to emigrate.
Rome advices state that the misery
among the working classes is very
great. Owing to the decline in values
and the stagnation of building inter
ests, thousands are out of employment
who have usually enough work at this
time of the year. All who can are en-
igrating, mostly to North and South
America, but the very poor who cannot
obtain money to emigrate remain and
infest the city evervwhere The multi
tude of beggars has never been so
great and they are more than usually
importunate. King Humbert gives
away large sums from his personal in
come in charity, but that does not af-
feet to any appreciable degree the
amount of squalor and misery.

the cause Of Mr.. Binder's downfall.

loyalty and peaceful inclinations. When things
